The next day, we were scheduled to tell our parents about our engagement and the baby. I put on my new green paisley short sundress and a pair of brown capris leggings. Izzy put my hair back in a French braid that went over my shoulder, and a gold headband with a large gold flower off to the side. (A.N. I actually have this headband… my little sis gave it to me for Christmas 3 years ago, it is amazing)
"Hi Clary, hon! Come on in you two!"
Mom greeted us at the door.
Nervously, Jace and I sat in the loveseat across from our respective parents. Jace awkwardly cleared his throat.
"Clary and I have two very important things to tell you today."
He began. Mom and Luke looked at each other nervously, and Robert looked like he was choking on laughter.
Jace picked up my left hand and showed them the ring.
"We're engaged!"
I said happily.
All four adults looked happy, though Mom also looked a bit sad at her only child growing up so fast. Luke and Robert shook Jace's hand, and Mom and Maryse hugged me.
"Um, the second thing is, ah…"
My voice trailed off awkwardly.
Jace took a deep breath.
"Clary's pregnant."
Robert finally let out his laughter. Luke looked like he wanted to go kill something, and Mom and Maryse sat there stunned, then squealed happily.
They came over and hugged me, Maryse chattering about how I would just have to go shopping with her for baby things.
"You are as bad as Izzy! Now I know where she gets it from."
I said jokingly, relieved at their reactions.
Luke seemed to finally accept it, and came over and hugged me.
"You'll be a great mom, I know you will."
He said, smiling. He kissed the top of my head, which he hadn't done since I was 9. I buried my face in his shoulder and cried happy tears.
