Two Months Later

I swear my stomach is swelling larger than possible. It's only a month until I'm due and I feel like a fucking whale. Jace, Isabelle, Alec, and I moved to California two weeks ago when Jace got out of the hospital. His arm and leg are fully healed and he can finally play football again.

Coacj wasn't joking when he said 'luxury apartment'. It's almost the same size as the old Lightwood's mansion. Except it's an apartment. Alec and Izzy are sharing one with Alec's boyfriend, Magnus.

"What's up, my amazing pregnant best friend?" Isabelle walks in, returning from a shopping trip. "I got Charlie some new clothessss!" She squeals so happily that I can't ignore her.

"Thanks, Iz. What's up? How was the shopping trip?"

"Amazing as usual. Where's your baby daddy?"

"Practice. He's trying to 'get his head in the game' again," I roll my eyes heavenwards.

Izzy scoffs.

"Uh huh," she laughs. "Okay. Any news on your dad?"

"Nope," I sigh dejectedly. "I was hoping that they'd have caught him by now."

"Well, the police don't do their jobs well anyways. Where's Alec?"

"Probably with Magnus," I sigh. "They're really in love, aren't they?"

Isabelle makes a very unladylike sound.

"When they're not eating each other's faces off, I guess it seems like it," she rolls her eyes as well.

We both laugh and chat for a little while until I say I need to go out.

"Clary, you know that's not safe. He could be anywhere," Isabelle warns me.

"It's only to the corner store and back. I'll be FINE. Besides, this is a pretty safe neighborhood, right?"

"Jace will kill me for this but fine. Just go."

"Thanks Isabelle!" I manage before Im half-running to the elevator.

I walk about halfway down the street, approaching the corner store when a man in a trench coat walks out. He's wearing a black fedora so you can't see his face either. I walk past him and smile.

"Good morning," I politely greet. The man stops in his tracks and looks back at me.

"Good morning to you too, Clarissa," the man says back, finally looking up. The only things visible are black orbs.

I attempt to hold in the scream and was faster towards the store. When I get in, in run to the bathroom. Luckily, it's empty. I run into a stall and bring up what's left of my lunch.

I hear my phone ring in my jacket pocket. I answer it.

"Hello?" I can hear the prominent waver in my voice.

"Clare-bear?"

I gasp.

"Jon?"

"Yeah. Can you meet me somewhere?"

"What makes you think I'll do that?"

"Look, I'm sorry Clary. But right now, we've got to put our differences aside. I know what Dad's up to."

"Fine. But I want a public place with witnesses. Meet me at Taki's at 6."

I hang up and lean against the wall.

What has my life become?

Jace gets back at around 4.

"Hey, Red," he places a kiss to my temple while pulling me into a side hug.

"Dickhead," I say in response.

"How was your day?"

"Eventful," I reply after a short pause.

"Really? What happened?"

So I lead Jace over to the sofas to retell the events of the day. He doesn't say a word until I'm done.

"Jace, please say something."

"Bitches," is the word I hear him mumble under his breath.

"Calm down, we'll be safe. For a little while."

"Safe?!" Jace finally explodes. I flinch involuntarily.

"How can we be SAFE when your father is constantly trying to kill you, therefore killing Charlotte. How can we be safe when your brother's inviting you out to 'talk'? It just doesn't make sense."

The doorbell rings.

"We'll continue this conversation later," I point a finger at him before rising to answer the door.

A man in a black trench coat wearing a back fedora is there.

"Why, hello Clarissa," he grins.

AN: Cliffie! Sorry. I just needed something dramatic to happen. For all you people that didn't know: Clary is 8 months pregnant. Please follow, favorite, review, and all of that good crap.
