Here I am again!

Shoutout to my beta Morgenstern128, just because she is awesome!

This chapter has some time skips in it, we are going to fly through a few months of Clary's pregnancy, and we get some information on the Pandetral!

Now, enjoy the story!

Ten weeks into pregnancy
After having been outside for almost two hours with Jenna, the sun started to go down and we went inside. Currently we're sitting in the dining room, eating the grey stuff. Believe it or not, I kind of have gotten used to the weird looking food.
"So, Clary, tell me a bit about yourself."
"What do you want to know?"
Jenna takes another bite of food as she thinks. "Why don't you tell me about the father of your kid? What is he like? Handsome? Eye candy, or actually nice?"
For the first time in days I am able to truly smile at the thought of my boyfriend. "All of the above. His name is Jace, and he is, like, the perfect human being. He is incredibly handsome, and knows that himself. He's very arrogant, but that makes him even more beautiful, in my opinion."
Jenna eagerly leans forward. "Come on! Details! I want details! What does he look like?"
I lean forward, actually liking the girl talk we are having. Not that I'd ever admit it, though. "He is a Golden God. Literally. His hair is curly, and falls around the height of his shoulders. It's blonde, but in sunshine it looks like truly shimmering gold. He has the kind of hair you yearn for to run your hands through all day.
His skin is so soft and smooth, and it looks perfect. It sparkles sometimes, and it gives him even more of a gold look.
His face is perfect. And God, did I tell you about his eyes? They are gold. But they change sometimes. Jace barely lets anyone in, he's very closed off, but you can see in his eyes how he feels about someone. If he cares about you, they sparkle and shine when he sees you. However, if he doesn't like or even hates you, the gold almost seems like steel. And, only with me, it would look as if his eyes had molten. The gold would be soft, and caring, sweet, just perfect."
"Sweet Jesus." Jenna breathes. "I want to meet this man."
I smile softly. "I hope you do one day. You really look like his sister, Isabelle. She is my best friend."
"So that's why you looked as if you'd seen a ghost when I came into your room!"
I nod sheepishly. "Yeah, it is."
"So, what is the rest of his body like? Particularly in some… special areas, if you get what I mean. Sorry for the nagging, but I really want to know."
"No, it's fine.
He is so tall. Well, compared to me, everyone is. And well, in that certain area, he is… Large. As in, really large." I don't know how I am able to talk to Jenna about this. I never talked to anyone about these things, and I met her just a few hours ago!
Jenna giggles. "I want to experience that."
I fake glare at her. "You stay away from my man!"
"Don't worry, I won't go after him."
I smile softly. "Jace is just… perfect."
Jenna smiles back. "I bet he is."

Twelve weeks into pregnancy

The forest holds life inside, it's happy, healthy, and an amazing place to take a walk, as I'm doing right now. I've never seen the other side of the trees before.
I've seen the entrance of the forest before, together with the beginning of the path. But now, I can actually follow the road to a spot in the middle of the trees.
There is a meadow, with green grass, colorful flowers, and bright sunlight. The mix of the soft breeze and the singing of birds make beautiful music around me.
There is one other sound, one I've heard before.
A baby's cry.
But instead of last time, it doesn't scare me now. In fact, it calms me.
I walk toward the little white bundle that seems to be the cause of the sound. I crouch down next to it, as the crying softly stops. I pull the blanket covering the child's face away, so I can look in the eyes of the tiny human.
It's a beautiful kid. Red hair, with a few beautiful golden strands through it. The eyes match those strands, and makes them stand out even more. Soft, chubby cheeks, a tiny forehead, and a cute little nose. The hands, of course, are inhumanly small, with tiny fingers.
The baby is so cute!
As I look closer, I see that it's a girl.
I come back out of my drawing world and look at the last three last drawings I made. The first one is of the front of the forest that I've drawn before, but more colorful. The second one is of the meadow, and the third one is incredibly detailed of the girl I saw.
She looks like me, and Jace. This is our daughter.
In that moment, I don't doubt that my little baby I'm carrying is a girl. Jace and I are going to have a little baby girl.
Our daughter.

Fourteen weeks into pregnancy
"Hey, Jenna?"
"What's wrong?" Jenna asks, popping her head around the corner.
"How am I actually going to give birth round here? Do they have a special room for pregnant woman in the Pandetral?"
She grins. "I actually asked Sebastian just yesterday. He looked scared: He hadn't thought about it yet. You should've seen him sweating."
I grin at the thought, and then bite my lip.
"What's wrong?"
I sigh. "I-… I just wish Jace would be here."
"I understand, honey."
Jenna walks towards my bed and sits down next to me. "I just… I want to know how he's doing. If he misses me. If he moved on. Maybe he's already had tons of girlfriends while I've been 'dead'."
"Hey." She forces me to look at her. "If this Jace is really so perfect as you described him, he wouldn't do that. You said he was a manwhore before he met you. If you had such an effect on him that he changed, I don't think he'll ever change back."
"You don't know." I whisper.
Suddenly, Jenna stands up. "No, I don't. I don't know your Jace. I don't know how you felt about each other. But I do know that sulking around won't help you. So, maybe you should suck it up and do something else than sitting here and drawing. It's not healthy for the baby, you know."
The last part gets my attention.
"What do you suggest?"
"Something fun."
New page
Apparently, 'something fun', is shopping in Jenna's opinion. She really is the doppelganger of Izzy.
We go to tons of shops, buying clothes and toys for the baby, bigger shirts and pants for me, and some things to decorate my room with.
I discovered something new today.
Pandetral is an entire city, complete with adults, kids, and older people. All Shadowhunters. The city even has an Institute, school, pool and shopping mall. Where me and Jenna are now.
The city is filled with all Sebastian's followers. They can live here, make plans, and just continue their normal life in this town. They never have to leave this place, so they can't be found and are safe from the rest of the Shadowhunters. No one can leave, and no one has any idea where we are exactly.
"Jen, please, can we take a break?" I beg for the fifth time.
She finally grumbles her defeat. "Fine."
We sit down in a cute booth next to a shoes shop. "This place is kind of big, but there are never sales around here. I really hate that." She complains.
A silence falls, and for a few minutes we just comfortably sit there. "Can you guys never leave this place?"
Jenna shakes her head. "No. A lot of people have tried after Sebastian started tuning worse and worse. But there are guards before, on and after the fence. If you can get past them, which is practically impossible, you still have to pass the landmines and electricity on the fence. Only Sebastian knows exactly where they are places: Most guards don't even have any idea.
When you've passed the fence, I think it is days of walking before you reach humans. For that time you need water and food, but you can't just steal it. Everyone has a number, and you get a portion of food a day. You can't get more, and if you try, they can track your number, and you get punished. No one has ever tried to escape and survived."
I gulp. "What kind of punishments do they have?"
Jenna shrugs. "That depends on how bad your deed was. They have a whip, starvation, complete isolation from humans for a period of time, or death. The last one's Sebastian's favorite. He hands it out whenever he can."
I stare forward, thinking of all those poor people. "I hate Sebastian."
Jenna smiles at me sweetly. "We all do."

Sixteen weeks into pregnancy
"You do realize that in a month you'll be able to know if you're having a girl or a boy, right?"
"I already told you, I know it's a girl."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Call it a mother's intuition."
There is a knock on the door and Sebastian enters. "I want to interrupt for a moment, ladies. I think I have some good news for you."
Jenna raises an eyebrow, and I frown at him. "What is it?"
"Well, a family recently moved from their apartment to a bigger place, near the pool. Their apartment is now empty."
"So?"
"So, Jenna, I thought, that maybe I could give you and my sister your own house. It has two bedrooms, and can be decorated correctly for a baby to live there."
"What?" I ask. "You are offering us a place to live? Away from this hellhole?"
"You'll still be in this city, but yes, you will be away from this 'hellhole', as you so delicately put it, dear sister."
Jenna looks at me excitedly.
I realize what this means. Being able to go outside when I want to, to eat what I want, to do what I want.
I suddenly have a strong urge to hug Sebastian. But I don't, because he is still to evil for that.
"I'll leave you two ladies." He says with a nod, and leaves the room.
For a few moments Jenna and I look at each other, before running to pack our bags.
Finally, we are going away from here.
