I do not own the Mortal Instruments. All characters and references belong to Cassandra Clare. But you already knew that.


Clary sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the pink plus sign. Reality was hitting her like a ton of bricks and panic started to settle in. She was pregnant. There was another human life currently growing inside of her. A human life that she would have to take care of.

She sure as hell wasn't ready for this, but what worried her the most was what other people would think. Jocelyn most definitely wouldn't approve because she wasn't married yet and Luke would be disappointed in her because she was too young to even be thinking about having a baby. Then, there was Sebastian. The idea of having kids was something they had never talked about. She had no clue as to whether he wanted any or not. But a small part of her hoped that maybe having a baby around would help him change. He wouldn't hurt his own flesh and blood, right?

With a sigh, she got up and buried the stick at the bottom of the trashcan. She needed some time and advice before she could tell Sebastian. She needed Magnus, but he still wasn't picking up his phone, so she decided to call the hospital.

A woman picked up on the third ring. "Memorial Hospital," she said in a monotone voice.

"Hi, is Magn- I mean Dr. Bane there?" Clary asked nervously.

The woman paused for a moment. "He's not available at the moment. Are you one of his patients?"

"No. Just a friend."

Silence came from the other end for a few seconds. "Nobody told you?"

Clary tensed. "Told me what?"

"Dr. Bane was in a terrible accident and has been out cold since."

She almost dropped the phone. Sebastian wouldn't. "Oh my God, is he going to be okay?"

"It looks like that way. We'll have to wait until he wakes up to do some more tests to make sure."

Clary let out a small breath of relief. "Can I visit him?"


Magnus was laying in a sterile, white bed. He was connected to multiple machines that beeped and whirred. A bandage was wrapped around his head, his left arm was in a cast, and his pale face was covered in bruises and scratches. Clary's heart shattered at the sight of him. This was all her fault.

Sitting down in a chair, she gently grabbed his hand. The heart monitor beeped steadily in the background as she spoke.

"God, Magnus, I am so sorry. If it weren't for me you wouldn't be here right now. Bet you wish you had stayed away from me like Simon and Izzy, huh?" She let out a shaky laugh. "I've gotten myself in even deeper now. I'm going to have his baby, Mags, and I don't know how to tell him. I wish you were awake so you could give me your amazing advice."

"Just tell him. No need to think so hard about it."

Clary snapped her attention to the doorway where Alec was now standing with his arms crossed. "H-How much did you hear?"

"Enough, but Magnus had already told me all about Sebastian before this 'accident' happened."

Clary found herself getting mad at Magnus for telling, but immediately felt bad for doing so. She couldn't blame him for telling Alec. "You know you can't tell anyone, right?"

He laughed humorlessly. "Obviously. Especially after what he's done to Magnus. I think it's best if you stay away from us, Clary."

Her heart dropped, knowing he was right. "Yeah. Probably." She stood up to leave. "Bye, Magnus," she whispered. "Alec."

He looked at her with sad eyes. "I'm sorry, Clary. I just can't risk him getting hurt again."

She nodded and smiled sadly. "I understand." And she did. It was best to not have Magnus involved in her life anymore. It would keep him safe.


Sebastian was waiting for her when she got home. He stood in the entryway with his hands clasped behind his back. "Nice of you to show up, Clarissa," he said.

"Sorry. I was visiting Magnus in the hospital," she said as calmly as she could.

He narrowed his eyes at her for a moment before becoming impassive. "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

She cocked her head to the side. "Huh?" Then it dawned on her and her eyes grew wide. How could he know?

From behind his back, he produced the pregnancy test. Had he been digging through the garbage? "When were you going to tell me, Clarissa?"

"Soon, I swear. I just didn't know how."

"Whose kid is it?"

She gawked at him. "Whose kid? Your kid! Who else would've knocked me up?"

He glared at her. "It is not my child, Clarissa! I have always used some form of protection with you."

"Well guess what! Condoms can break. It's your baby, Sebastian. Our baby!"

She watched as Sebastian began pacing the room. "This can't be happening. Can't fucking be happening. We can't have a kid! I don't want a kid. How could you do this to me?"

She threw her hands up in exasperation. "How could I do this to you? How could you do this to me? I sure as hell didn't get myself pregnant!"

Suddenly, Sebastian was in front of her, his hand connecting with her cheek. "Don't you dare talk to me like that, Clarissa!" She broke down into tears and he looked at her in disgust. "I need some time to think. Don't wait up."

He stalked out of the penthouse, slamming the door behind him.


Clary was curled into a ball on the couch, sobbing. He walked out on her. Just left. Four hours and he still wasn't back. She needed someone to talk to, but there was nobody. Izzy and Simon hated her. Alec wanted to stay away from her. Magnus was basically in a coma. She wouldn't be able to talk to her mother or Luke without telling them about the pregnancy. Never in her life had she been so alone.

The door slammed open and Clary sat up. Sebastian stumbled in, a half empty beer bottle in his hand. His glassy eyes fell on her and he sneered.

"Why the fuck do I even keep you around anymore?" he grumbled. "Useless whore." The bottle slipped from his fingers and crashed to the floor, shattering into a million pieces. "Clean that up," he slurred before disappearing into the bedroom.

Clary quickly did as he said, afraid to disobey him. She was afraid he would leave for good, and it would destroy her if he did. She had child to worry about now and she knew she wouldn't be able to take care of it herself.

She went into the bedroom to find Sebastian already fast asleep. After getting changed into pajamas, she crawled into bed next to him. He instinctively moved closer to her, draping an arm over her and pulling her close. She smiled slightly as his hand came to rest on her stomach.

Maybe everything wasn't going to turn out as bad as it seemed.


Kinda short, but the next chapter will be longer and better. Promise. By the way, I would never kill off Magnus. I'm not Satan.

Review. :D
