"Emma? What are you doing here?"
"Clary called me."
"She did? Why would she do that?"
"Can I come in or should we go somewhere else to talk?"
"Well…I…no…let's go to the greenhouse."
As soon as the elevator doors close I glance over to look at Em standing beside me; having her here right now brings new tears to my eyes. When the doors open to the greenhouse Em takes my hand and leads me over to one of the benches; where we sit down. I turn and hug my friend tightly for a moment; feeling thankful that Clary called her.
"Tell me what's going on Jace; it must be pretty serious if Clary called me and begged me to come here as soon as I could."
"When did she call you?"
"It was almost eleven o'clock your time when she called me. I would have been here sooner but I had some important things to take of before I could leave."
"She was still in with the doctor when she called you?"
"I'm not sure; she didn't exactly tell me where she was or what all this was about. All she told me was that you needed me and that this was a…how did she put it again?...oh she said that this is a mental health situation."
"Yeah…I guess you could say that."
"So what happened? What's going on?"
"Clary's pregnant." I whisper softly.
"Oh wow! Fuck Jace this is not what I expected. I'm sorry for over reacting; tell me how this happened."
"Well Emma; you see when a man and a woman have special feelings…"
"Don't be an asshole…what I meant was; I know you Jace and know that you are always safe so what happened? Did the condom break or something?"
"Nothing like that; Clary gets the shot every three months but apparently the last one she got was defective. The doctors sent her a letter but she mistook it for a payment reminder and tossed it in the trash without even reading it."
"Jace…I'm so sorry. What are you going to do? I mean I am assuming that since she called me; you two must have gotten into a fight about this."
"No, not exactly. We left the clinic and the entire walk home was quite; I figured whatever was going on she just wanted to wait until we got home. As soon as we stepped off the elevator she fucking bolted down the hall away from me and when I started to go after her she told me to stay away from her. I asked my sister to go talk to her; I figured that this was some sort of female issue that she was maybe just too embarrassed to me talk about or something. When Izzy told me that Clary was pregnant I threw up on her floor but then I went to Clary's room so I could talk to her after I stopped puking. She had her door locked and refuse to talk to me. Em, all I could think about was how she did that to me before and I wasn't having it again; I guess I might have snapped."
"Snapped? Jace what on earth did you do?"
"I screamed at her; I fucking screamed at Alec for sticking his nose into my business at the wrong time and then I kicked her bedroom door in. Em…I scared her…I didn't mean to scare her but I did. Shit I must have looked like a crazed lunatic. Can you believe that Alec of all people thought that I was going to hurt Clary? He actually said the words 'don't you fucking touch her' to me. I had to convince him the I wouldn't lay a hand on her just so he would leave her room and then I found her hiding in her closet; she was crying and shaking with fear and she looked so damned tiny in that dark corner of her closet."
"Did she come out of her hiding spot?"
"Yes…eventually…but she stayed in the doorway of her closet just in case she felt threatened by me. Fuck Em! Do you know how sick that makes me feel that she actually was afraid I was going to hurt her? I would never hurt her; I would never put a mark on that girl. It hurts that she thought that. Fuck it hurts that my parabitai thought that. I understand how crazy I must have seemed but…Em…please tell me that at least you know I would never hurt her."
"I do know you Jace and I wouldn't be worried about losing money on the bet of whether or not you would hit her. I mean you wouldn't hit a girl; not really, not in any kind of real anger. What goes on in the training room is just that; it's training. I have seen you break your sisters bones; hell you broke my collarbone once and I almost forgot about the time you fractured my jaw but that was all for training. Maybe all Clary could think of when you were flipping out was how much damage you can inflict on another person; maybe that was what Alec was thinking too. The thing is Jace; sometimes good people do crazy things when they feel threatened."
"Threatened? I didn't feel threatened; why would you think that Emma?"
"Maybe on the surface of your mind you didn't feel threatened but somewhere in the back of your mind you must have felt that way. Think about it; this pregnancy could tear you and her apart and that's a threat to you. Raising a child is stressful as it is but you two are so young yet; you haven't even started your life really and that can feel overwhelming."
"You're right Em; I guess I probably do feel threatened in a way but more than anything right now what I feel the most is confused."
"Why do you feel confused?"
"I think she wants to get an abortion…she can't really want that can she? She told me to tell her what to do. She told me that she would do whatever I wanted her to do as long as I still loved her. Let me ask you something Em; if you got pregnant and the dude that knocked you up told you to get an abortion or he would leave you what would you do?"
"Well I am assuming this is a hypothetical question considering I am a lesbian but I guess if it were me I would probably tell the asshole not to let the door hit him in the ass when he left."
"Okay…okay so I'm not overreacting about this then?"
"Well…yes and no Jace. I can sit here and have a hypothetical conversation but to be honest I can't say for sure that is what I would do. Clary is so scared right now Jace; she loves you so much and all she is probably thinking is that she need to hang onto that love to keep from losing her mind."
"What about me? Aren't I allowed to be scared about this? You're right she loves me and I love her so shouldn't we be scared together? Shouldn't I be holding her in my arms while we both cry and talk this through instead of her being in her room alone and me sitting here talking to you?"
"Did she ask you to leave her room?"
"No, I left on my own."
"Why? Why did you walk out on her?"
"I didn't walk out on her Em! I had to get away from her after what she said. I didn't trust myself to find the right words at that moment. I didn't want to make things worse off than they already were. I told her I wasn't leaving her and that I wasn't pushing her away; I told her I just needed to be by myself so I could think about things."
"How long ago was this?"
"A little over three hours ago."
"Okay I have only been here for about thirty minutes so in the two and a half hours before I got here what did you come up with?"
"Not much of anything to be honest with you…fuck Em, I don't know what to do or what to think…I just keep hearing Clary's words in my head. I keep hearing her tell me she will do whatever I want her to do as long as I still love her. I guess most of all I think that I might be disappointed in her for saying those things. She is everything to me Emma. Wrong or right I keep that little red head on a very high pedestal; I know it sounds cheesy but she is my little princess and I would do anything for her. Her love for me, her faith in me, and her trust in me is still sometimes very overwhelming for me. I couldn't tell you how many times I look at that beautiful girl and ask myself when the fuck she is going to realize that I am no good for her?"
Em holds her hands in the air to stop me from talking. She closes her eyes and takes a few deep breaths before her blue eyes meet mine again.
"Do you ever stop to think that maybe Clary has you on a pedestal too Jace? Have you stopped to consider that she would do anything for you too? I can understand how her words must hurt you but you shouldn't look down your nose at her and you shouldn't be disappointed in her. She is the one who is pregnant not you. She has three choices on how to handle this pregnancy and at the end of the day every one of those three choices are scary and each one of those choices will come with consequences."
"Emma it's my…"
"Don't interrupt me Jace. You are going to sit there and listen to what I have to say before you open your mouth again. Do you understand me?...Number one: if Clary gets an abortion then that will scar her for the rest of her life. Number two: If Clary carries this baby to full term and puts it up for adoption then she will walk around every day feeling broken and lost; she will look at every child she sees and wonder if this one or that one is her child. Number three: She could have this baby and struggle every single day trying to raise a child the right way; that's a scary thing to do for anyone; especially for someone as young as she is. I get how scared and confused you are about all of this Jace but have you even considered how she is feeling right now?"
"She is all I am thinking about! All that shit you just said you forgot one key element in what you were saying."
"Really? And what key element would that be?"
Emma's blue eyes are cold and her tone is clipped and angry. What the fuck? Now she is mad at me but what for? Clary is probably pissed at me for leaving her room. Izzy is definitely pissed at me and now Emma is pissed at me. How did I manage to piss off all the females that I love all on the same day? Fuck I might as well through Alec in with the lot of them too because I know he's pissed at me as well.
"Me…Emma you forgot to include me in all of that shit. What about how I will feel? Don't you…"
"Shut up! Shut your fucking mouth right now Jace! Stop making this about you! Don't you get it? You have the option to just walk away from all of this. You could just pack your shit and move out to LA with me and forget all about her if you wanted to. All of the weight is on her shoulders right now and…"
"Fuck you Emma! Fuck you for saying that! I realize that I might have a shitty track record but I fucking love that girl with all my heart. I would never leave her; I would never just walk away and forget her. I don't think you understand how much that girl is imbedded deep into my mind and in my heart; fuck if I have a soul then she is imbedded there too. So don't you sit there and tell me to shut up! Don't you dare sit there and tell me that this isn't about me; that this pregnancy doesn't affect me just as much as it does her. Emma I love you and I appreciate you dropping everything to come here but I wasn't the one who called you. I think you should go home."
"Jace please don't be upset with me."
"I won't lie to you Em; I am upset with you for saying some of the shit you said but that doesn't mean I don't love you anymore. Please just go home and let me handle this myself and I promise I will call you."
"Not just call me Jace; you promised me a month ago that you would find time to bring Clary to LA."
"Fine we will come to LA after I talk to her; but I can't waste another minute of my time talking to you. I love you Em."
"I love you Jace."
As I walk down the hall I take my time getting to Clary's room because I am trying to control my anger. I am angry at Em, and I am angry at Clary for calling Em in the first place. I need to leave that anger out here in the hall before I let her see my eyes; she will see the anger if I don't get it out of my head. I stand at her broken door with my hand on the knob as I take a couple of deep breaths but just before I turn the handle I hear voices inside of her room. I press my ear to the door a listen for a full minute. I can't hear specific words but I can hear three different voices coming from Clary's bedroom; hers, Izzy's and Alec's. What the fuck are they doing in her room? I have to wait for a few more moments to open her door so I can control this new wave of anger. When I finally open her door I have three sets of eyes looking at me.
"Alec, Izzy; I would like to speak with Clary so could you both please give us a little privacy?"
Izzy leaves the room without a word but I am surprised when Alec is the one who lingers for a minute to make sure Clary feels comfortable enough to be alone with me.
"You know where to find me if you need me Clary."
"Yes, thank you Alec."
I can't help but keep the shocked look off my face as I watch Alec hug Clary and kiss her cheek before he leaves the room without even looking at me. After the door closes Clary and I just look at each other for a few minutes. Maybe I should sit down in her chair? Maybe I should be the one who starts talking first? Fuck that! I walk over and pull her off of her bed and pull her body to my chest where I wrap my arms around her and bury my face in her hair.
"I love you baby." I whisper.
"I love you." She whispers back as I feel her tense shoulders relax slightly.
"I'm sorry if I scared you earlier."
"It's okay. Where is Emma?"
"I sent Em home. I know you meant well by calling her but this is between you and I Clary. We don't need to involve other people."
"I just figured you would have called Emma and I thought you would want to talk to her so that is why I called her."
"You called her from the doctor's office didn't you?"
"Yes."
"You hid in the doctor's office too didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I was afraid of your reaction. I thought if you could talk to Emma then maybe she could make you understand."
I sit down on her bed and pull her onto my lap. I need her body to be touching mine as I look at her and as we talk about all of this. I need her body touching me so I don't feel like I am falling. I cup her face in my hands so she will look at me when I ask her my next question.
"Understand what Clary?"
"Understand that I didn't get pregnant on purpose and understand that I would do anything to make you happy. I just want you to love me Jace."
"I do love you Clary but I need you to explain something to me."
"What?"
"What you said…about taking care of…of the pregnancy…you said you would do whatever I wanted you to do as long as I still loved you…please tell me that's not true…please tell me that you only said that because you were scared. Please tell me that you would not get an abortion just because I asked you to. Please tell me that even if it meant you leaving me to protect an innocent child you would do that."
"I was scared; I still am but honestly I don't think if it came down to it I could actually go through with it. I don't think I could live with myself if I got an abortion even if that would be the only way I could still have you love me. I think I would feel so broken for doing something like that I wouldn't even be able to feel love anymore."
Thank fucking god! I think I can finally feel my heart beating in my chest again. I feel so guilty for my temporary disappointment in Clary for what she said earlier. I know her and I should have known that it was just her fear making her say those crazy things.
"What about adoption? What are your thoughts on that?"
"I don't think I could do that either. I don't think I could feel this baby moving inside of me for months and just hand it over to someone knowing that I would never get to see it again. I would spend the rest of my life looking at every child and wondering if they were mine."
"Ours."
"What?"
"Our child Clary; this is my baby too you know."
"I know that but you don't have to…"
"I am going to stop you right there. Please don't even try to finish that sentence Clary. I can't even stand the thought of you thinking that way about me let alone to actually have to hear you speak the words out loud. This is our baby and we will do the best we can to raise our baby. Will we feel scared sometimes? Yes. Will we feel overwhelmed sometimes? Yes. Will we make mistakes and fuck shit up sometimes? Yes, that's almost a guarantee but we can do this; we just have to stick together and help each other through the hard times. As much as I would love to have been able to spend the next five years or so being carefree with our lives; things are different now. Now life isn't all about me and you anymore, now our baby comes first."
"I am still finding it hard to believe that there is a baby growing inside of me right now. I keep waiting for someone to pop out and say this is all some kind of bad joke. I don't even feel any different."
"You are still in shock. Give it some time; I'm sure before long you will feel different."
"Well yeah…before you know it I will be waddling around the institute and eating everything in sight."
I can't help but chuckle at her scowling face.
"I look forward to watching you waddle around Clary."
"I am going to get so fat. I already feel uncomfortable about my body; can you imagine how I will feel when I have a huge butt and a watermelon sticking out of my front?"
"Stop that; you are not going to get fat."
"Yes I am!"
"You are pregnant with my child and yes your belly is going to stick out but not because you eat too many cookies it will be sticking out because our baby will be growing each day."
"Take one last look at me before my body starts to get all round Jace because right now is probably the last time I will have the nice body that you say I have. I will never look like this again."
"Stop being so negative Clary. How do you know you won't like what your body will look like after you have our child?"
"Why would I?"
"You hear women all the time talking about how they have curvier hips and fuller cup sizes that they never had before they got pregnant. I can't wait for the day when I can see your belly sticking out. I won't be able to keep my hands off of your stomach."
"You are so strange."
"You love me."
"With all my heart Jace."
"You look tired baby."
"I feel exhausted; today has been all over the emotional scale for me and I think it has me worn down."
"Well that and the fact that you are pregnant. Didn't the doctor tell you what kind of things to expect for the rest of your pregnancy?"
"Yes, he did. He said I would feel tired, he said I would get headaches, he said that I could get dizzy and nauseous. He said I could get hemorrhoids; you know all that fun stuff."
"Let's go take a nap."
"It's almost four Jace; don't you think it's a little late in the day for a nap."
"Nope. We can take a nap for an hour and then I will take you to dinner."
"Okay."
Still feeling the need to have her body as close to me as possible; I lift her up and carry her down the hall to my bedroom and shift her body so that she is lying on top of me when I get into bed. I set the alarm on my phone and we fall asleep almost immediately. An hour later my alarm goes off and I feel refreshed; starving because I skipped lunch but refreshed none the less. Clary is still sleeping on my chest and I run my hands across her back as I plant kisses on her temple and cheek in the attempt to wake her up. Her eyes flutter; telling me she is not sleeping me anymore.
"You awake baby?"
"Mmm…don't want to be." She mumbles.
"Let's get ready to get some dinner."
"I'm not really hungry."
"You will get out of this bed right now and get ready to go to dinner. I will not have you starving my baby."
Thankfully she is awake enough to hear the playfulness in my tone and she laughs softly as she crawls out of bed. She grabs my hand and I get out of bed; she keeps her hand in mine as she enters my bathroom. Once inside of the bathroom she turns towards me and with the sweetest smile she takes her shirt off as she looks at me.
"What are you doing?" I ask in confusion.
"I want to take a quick shower before we go to dinner. All the crying I have done today makes me feel like I need a shower to try to replace some of the moister my body has lost."
I lean forward and kiss her cheek before looking at her again.
"Enjoy your shower. I will get changed and meet you downstairs."
"No you won't Jace."
"Okay I can wait in my room for you then if you want."
"You won't do that either."
"What am I supposed to do then?"
"Take your clothes off and get into the shower with me."
I can't hide the grin on my face.
"Seriously? I thought you were too uncomfortable to take a shower with me?"
"Yes that true but seeing that before long I will be a whale I might as well enjoy every moment with you."
I could say so many things to her right now but I decide to just keep my fucking mouth shut. If I mess up and say the wrong thing to her then she might change her mind about taking a shower with me. I quickly strip my clothes off and help her take the rest of her clothes off before taking her hand and pulling her into the shower with me. I pull her tight against my chest and enjoy the feeling of her wet skin against my skin as the water run over the two of us. When her hair is wet I grab the shampoo and ignore her questioning look as I begin to wash her hair. After I put her conditioner in her hair I let it sit and begin to wash her body; we are both silent as I wash her creamy skin but she is noticeably more relaxed than she was when we first stepped into the shower. I am on my knees as I finish washing her legs and I finally look up at her green eyes for what feels like the first time since we got into the shower. She is so beautiful; looking at her almost takes my breath away.
"You are so beautiful Clary."
She just smiles at me. I run my hand over her thigh and plant light kisses across her soft skin.
"Just the sight of your thighs makes my body shudder with want for you." I whisper.
I run my tongue over her hipbone and look into her eyes once more.
"I love the curve of your hipbone." I purr.
Rising to my feet; I bend forward and pull her nipple into my mouth. She moans as her fingers slip into my wet hair as I tease her flesh with my mouth.
"Your nipple reminds me of a beautiful pink rose." My voice is raspy as my hunger for her grows.
I kiss a slow path all the way up to her ear and gently bite her earlobe. My lips are pressed against her ear when I whisper.
"I love the way your soft ear feels between my lips."
I slide my fingers into her hair as I look down at her green eyes.
"I love how your eyes change when I have my hands on your body."
I graze my lips across her mouth before kissing her softly. My lips are barely touching hers when I whisper.
"I could kiss your full lips for days at a time and it still wouldn't be enough."
I kiss the tip of her tiny nose and smile at her sweet face as my golden eyes look into her beautiful green eyes.
"I love you so much Clary and I love every single inch of your body."
"I love you Jace."
I kiss her once more before I quickly wash my own hair and body followed by rinsing the conditioner out of her red hair and then I shut the water to the shower off. I quickly tuck a towel around my waist and pull her to my chest as I wrap a towel around her tiny body. We hold each other until our skin is dry and the bathroom is no longer filled with steam before pulling apart to get dressed.
I am sitting on the edge of the sink as I watch Clary comb her wet hair.
"What are you hungry for Clary?"
"I told you I wasn't really hungry so whatever you want for dinner will be fine with me."
"How about Chinese food?"
"No I'm not in the mood for Chinese."
"Pizza then?"
"No, no pizza either."
"Hmm…for someone who doesn't claim be hungry sure is being picky."
"Let's just go to Taki's; they have a little bit of everything on their menu so I'm sure I will find something to eat."
"Who are you trying to kid? You know damn well you are going to get coconut pancakes if we go to Taki's."
She just laughs as we step out of the institute; the late afternoon heat is unusually warm for this time of year but the smile on her face tells me it is much appreciated. She quickly peels off her jacket and smiles as the sun warms her pale skin. I take her jacket from her so she can really enjoy the warm breeze on her skin as we take the short walk to Taki's. I find an open booth in the surprisingly packed restaurant when she slides into her seat she keeps her hand in mine as she pulls me down to sit beside her instead of across from her. When I slide my arm around her shoulders she snuggles up against my chest as she places her small hand on my thigh where she runs her hand up and down the length of my leg. Fuck her innocent caress is making blood pool to the front of my jeans but I don't dare stop her for worry of upsetting her. When Trina hands us our menu's I use that as my excuse to shift my body to hide my growing erection and Clary is none the wiser.
"What can I get the two of you to drink?"
I smile at Clary so she will tell Trina what she would like to drink.
"Can I have one of your orange blossom and honey smoothies please?"
"Sure thing sweetie. How about you Jace?"
"I think I want a root beer float today and maybe some water too."
"Do you two know what you want to eat or do you need me to give you a couple of minutes to look at the menu?"
"I think we need a few minutes."
"Take your time; I will be back with your drinks as soon as I get the chance. We are crazy busy today and of course Kailea decided to call off work at the last minute so we are shorthanded tonight."
"Take your time Trina we are in no hurry." Clary says sweetly.
Ten minutes go by before Trina returns with our drinks. I take a big bite from my ice cream that is floating in the root beer as soon as she sets my drink down in front of me.
"Clary what can I get you?" Trina asks.
"I would like a grilled cheese sandwich and a cup of your tomato soup please."
"What kind of bread do you want on your grilled cheese?"
"Oh um…whole wheat please."
"Jace? What can I get you today?"
"T-bone steak, baked potato and a salad please."
"How do you want your steak cooked?"
"Rare."
"Butter and sour cream for your potato?"
"Yes please."
"What kind of dressing do you want for your salad?"
"Blue cheese."
"Do you want any mushrooms or onions with your steak?"
"Oh…yeah just mushrooms though no onions and can I get some horseradish on the side too?"
"Sure thing. Anything else?'
"No I think that will be all for now."
"Okay, I will bring it out when it's ready."
"Thank you Trina."
I watch her check on two of her tables before she disappears into the kitchen. I turn to look at Clary as I take another bite out of my ice cream.
"I can't believe you didn't order pancakes."
"I was hungry for a grilled cheese sandwich instead."
"Thought you weren't hungry?"
"I wasn't but now I am."
"How is your smoothie?"
"It's really good; do you want to try it?"
I lean over and take a sip of her smoothie and find it to be refreshing and not as sweet as I thought it would be.
"That's actually delicious."
"Yes it is. It's healthy too."
"Is that why you ordered that instead of your chocolate milkshake?"
"Yes. I need to start eating better."
"You should have been eating better all along but who am I to talk? I eat way too much red meat and consume too much sugar. Not to mention the amount of caffeine I have running through my veins on a daily basis."
"Oh coffee…I'm really going to miss drinking coffee." She says sadly.
"Maybe you could have decaf?"
"No, if I can't have the real thing then I don't want it at all."
"You're a stubborn little thing."
"Do you think I will have any crazy mood swings?"
"How should I know?"
"True. I think I will just go ahead and apologize right now just in case I do."
I giggle as I kiss her cheek; before I can pull away she turns her head and kisses me deeply. Fuck! This girl will be the death of me some day. I want to grab ahold of her and drag her home so I can consume her body completely. When she finally breaks our intense kiss her cheeks are flushed and I feel heat on the back of my neck. I lean forward and press my lips to her ear.
"I want you so bad right now Clary." I whisper in her ear and I feel her hand on my thigh again as she leans her head towards my lips; she wants me to continue to whisper in her ear.
"Do you have any idea how hard I am right now?"
Her hand slides dangerously close to my zipper and I hear my own breath catch.
"Mmm…I love the way your hands feel on my body."
I suck in a short breath when her pinky runs lightly down my zipper.
"Are you wet baby? Do you want me inside of you right now?"
A small moan escapes her throat and she squeezes my thigh hard as she pulls her ear away from my mouth. I let out a small chuckle when I realize she has had enough of my dirty words in her ear. We sit quietly as we wait for our food. After waiting almost an hour for our food; I manage to clean my plate in record time because I was so hungry but Clary only ate half of her sandwich and a couple of spoonful's of her soup.
"Are you done eating already?"
"Yeah, I guess I really wasn't hungry after all."
"You feeling okay baby?"
"Please don't start doing that Jace."
"Doing what?"
"Asking me if I'm feeling okay all the time just because I'm pregnant."
"I wasn't. I was only asking."
"Are you sure?"
"I promise."
"Will you promise not to coddle me?"
"I will promise to try not to coddle you; how is that?"
Jace…" She whines.
"Clarissa." I whine back and she laughs.
"Isn't it our turn to patrol tonight Jace?"
"Nice way to change the subject. It's my turn to patrol tonight; you are off patrol from now on. I will have Alec or Izzy go with me instead."
"Why can't I go on patrol? I want to go."
"You will not put my child in danger Clary; this is not up for debate."
"Damn it." She tries to curse under her breath but I hear her anyway.
"Curse all you want to Clary but you are still not going."
"You realize that ninety percent of the time we go on patrol we never see a single thing."
"Ten percent odds against you are not in your favor. Please baby, don't fight me on this. I couldn't stand the thought of something happening to our baby. I worry enough about you as it is when we are on patrol and now my baby is in your belly; I can't handle all that worry."
"Okay. Can we go home now?"
"Are you sure you want to go home already? It's such a nice day out I thought maybe we could go for a walk before the sun sets."
"That sounds really nice actually."
"Come on, let me pay the bill and we can get out of here."
