"Jace you may have slept with hundreds of girls without knocking them up, but you weren't careful with one of them." she said. Alec still looked confused. But Jace wasn't stupid. He turned to face me. His eyes wide with shock and confusion.
"Y-you're pregnant?" he asked. He sounded shocked. But he also sounded scared. For the first time in his life he was scared. But beneath that there was hope. Hope that maybe he was wrong. Hope that maybe he wasn't the father, or that this was a very bad nightmare. But it wasn't. That hoped was crushed the moment the next words came out my mouth.

A baby. How the hell am I gonna take care of I a baby? Clary gave me a week. One week to decide if I wanted to keep the baby or to give it up for adoption. To be honest, I really don't know. But why am I questioning myself? I'm Jace Lightwood. Why would I want a baby? I already knew the answer. It was because of her.It's was like she put a spell on me that night. And ever since then, I couldn't get her out my mind. But I won't let her see that. I won't let her see that she can take advantage of me, just by smiling. Because she'll take my heart and crush it. Just like I do to every girl I lay my eyes on. I knew she got me hooked and I tried my best to hide it. Even when I'm with other girls I'm thinking about her. I groaned.
I got up from the couch and grabbed a jacket.
"Dude, where are you going?"Alec asked.
"Clary's" Was all I said.
I opened the door and left before he could protest. I knew what I was going to do. I ran down the steps and into the busy streets of Manhattan. I walked (more like jogged) to Clary's apartment.
Before I knew it, I was standing in front of Clary's apartment building. For the first time in my life, I was nervous. There were so many things going things going through my head. I saw someone exit the building and entered. I can't believe I'm doing this. I decided to take the stairs to save more time. By the time I reached the sixth floor, I already had my game plan. I'm gonna knock on her door, compliment her, ask her if I can come in, tell her my decision, and then leave. Easy as taking candy from a baby.
When I reached her door, I knocked on it gently. After ten more soft knocks, the door opened to a very tired looking Clary. My breath caught.
When her eyes landed on me, they widened in shock. "Jace?"
"Um...Y-yeah." I stuttered. Stutter? Since when does Jace Lightwood stutter?
"What're doing here?" She asked curiously.
"Um...Can I come in?" I asked. She looked at me for a while before she agreed. I entered her apartment and sat down on the couch. She sat down next to me. None of us said anything. We just stared. After about a few minutes, Clary opened her mouth.
"So." She said breaking the awkward silence.
"So." I said.
"Are you going to tell me why you're here, or are you just gonna keep staring at me?" She said.
"Right. Remember when you said that when I made up my decision I should tell you?" I said. She nodded. "Well, I made up my mind."
"What do want to do?" She asked.
Just by looking at her you could tell she was scared. All I wanted to do was hold her. Pull her close to me, and to tell her everything was going to be fine. But I couldn't. And it killed me. That's when it hit me. This is the one chance I have to prove myself to Clary. The one chance I have to actually hold her, and hell,maybe even be with her. All I knew is that if I let this go, I will regret it deeply.
The words that came out my mouth surprised me.
"I want to keep it." I said. Her eyes widened.
"You're joking, right?" She said. I shook my head. "You're serious?"
I nodded.
"If we're going to keep this baby, you're going to have to prove it to me that you can do it. The last thing I want is my baby to have a bad father." She said.
"I know this is surprising, hell, I can't even believe I just said that but, I wantthis. I'm tired of running. I 'm tired of hiding from life. I know this sounds crazy but, I want to have this baby." I said.
All she did was nod her head. You can tell by the look in her eye that she still was scared.
"Look, I know this is scary but, look on the bright side. You're going to mom." She smiled. "You get to do all that girl stuff. Shopping for clothes. Baby showers. Decorating the baby's room. Naming it Jace Jr. All those good stuff." I said. She laughed. "What?" I asked.
"Jace Jr?" She said. I nodded. "There is no way in hell am I naming our child Jace Jr." I smiled when she said our.
I put my hand over my heart, "I'm hurt." I said sarcastically. She laughed.
"It's never going to happen. Only in your dreams." She said. She yawned.
"Well, I'm going to go. You should get some rest." Her faced dropped. "But I'll be back tomorrow. If that's okay with you?" I said.
She smiled "I'd like that."
"I'll come over around 12:00?"
"Twelve's good." She said. I nodded. I got up and walked out the door.

I watched him walk out the door. I couldn't help but smile. I can't believe he wants to keep the baby.
"What're you smiling about?" Izzy asked. Coming out of the kitchen with two bowls of Ice Cream.
"You wouldn't believe what just happened." I said. Still shocked.
"What?" She asked while handing me my bowl. I stuffed a big scoop in my mouth before responding.
"Jace wants to keep the baby." I said. I couldn't hide the excitement in my voice.
"He WHAT?" she said shocked.
"He said, and I quote, 'I want to have this baby.'" I said.
She squealed. "Oh My God!" She said jumping around. I frowned.
"Just two days ago you were pissed about Jace getting me knocked up. And now you're jumping up and down because he wants to keep the baby?" I asked confused.
"I'm bipolar, Bitch!" I laughed. "Besides, look at the bright side. We get to go shopping!" She squealed. I couldn't help but laugh. Even though shopping with Izzy can be terrifying, it's better than having her pissed at me.
For once in my life I feel somewhat satisfied. I watched as Izzy danced across the room. She was right about one thing.
She is one Bipolar Bitch.
