Chapter 6

At about 8 I woke up from the baby kicking my ribs, I managed to hold in a gasp but couldn't fall asleep again, so I pride myself from Jace's grasp and slowly stepped into the bathroom. The baby has been going crazy for the past few weeks and making me need to pee all the time, so I did my business and brushed my teeth, then went to the wardrobe to get something to put on over my pjs. It was winter.

I tip-toed to the kitchen, trying not to wake everyone up. I walked through the doors to see Jon making coffee.

"Morning, you're up early." I greeted him.

"Yeah, couldn't sleep, you?" I shook my head and poured myself a glass of water.

"Baby kicked me in the ribs, then I had to pee, soo…" I trailed off.

We both sat down at the bench, in a short silence. Then.

"How's that going? The baby I mean." I shrugged.

"It really is tiring sometimes, I mean, with my condition, which is making things difficult. And then there are my thoughts and worries."

He looked at me. "Do you think that you want to go back to that day and decide not to sleep with Jace?"

I didn't even need to think. "No I wouldn't take that day back for anything in the world. I love this baby and I think that- No- I know that I am falling in love with Jace."

"Well that is good. I need to protect my baby sister from the world." With that he stood up and walked to the hallway. "I was told to bring my beautiful wife some coffee in bed." And left.

I decided to make some pancakes for everyone, when they woke up. So I got all the ingredients from the pantry and started to mix them together. I cooked them one by one.

All of a sudden arms wrapped around me and rested on my stomach. "Morning." I whispered.

"Hey. Looks yum." Jace gestured to the pancakes on the stove. I put the last one on the pile and turned to face him.

I stretched up and gave him a kiss.

"Eww, Yuk." Came a voice from the doorway.

"Good morning Millie. How did you sleep last night?"

She climbed up onto the bench chair and stared at us. "Good, where's mamma?"

"Mommy's in her room with daddy, they'll be out soon. Do you want pancakes?"

She nodded her head violently and thanked me when I handed her a plate of them. "Why is it taking so long?"

Jace and I sat down across from her with our pancakes and looked at her questionably.

"What taking long, Mills?" She pointed to where the baby was growing.

"When is she going to be here?"

"Soon. Around March." I finished my sentence as Alec, Magnus, Isabelle, Simon, Kaelie and Jon entered the room, wearing spare clothes that I always kept in the bedrooms.

"Morning." They greeted in unison. I showed them to their pancakes and they sat down.

"Jace, why does your last name sound so familiar?" Kaelie asked after some silence.

He swallowed to see everyone staring at him. Including me.

"Uh… My mom and dad are kind of famous. Mom's a fashion designer and my dad's a director."


A little while later, everyone said goodbye and Jace and I were getting ready for the day.

"Clare!" Jace called from the bedroom, me in the bathroom. I walked out in my underwear.

"Yeah?"

"Do you have anything planned for the next two weeks?" I shook my head. "My dad just called asking if I would like to go to his new movie premiere in LA and I could bring one guest."

"Okay? But I'm not sure that I could come with."

"That is why I made a quick appointment with Dr Penhallow to ask her some questions." He told me the appointment was soon.

Once we were dressed, we were off.

We made it to the hospital on time and was welcomed by Dr Penhallow.

"Hi, what brings you here today?"

We sat down at her desk. Jace answered her. "I was wondering if Clary is able to fly down to LA for a couple of weeks."

She examined her notes. "Well if you take it easy and be careful, I don't see why not. But please call me if you have any worries."

"Thanks so much." Jace dragged me out the hospital and to the car.

"Clare, could you call Isabelle and ask her to look after the gallery, your brother to know you're going to be away for a week or two and dad to come by in 20 minutes."

I called them, following Jace's instructions and finished just as we arrived home. Jace looked like a mad man when he ran into the house and up to our bedroom. I followed slowly behind, looking worried.

"Jace, calm down and tell me what to do and why you look like a crazy person."

He stopped for a moment. "My mother booked us tickets for 1:30 and it is now 12:45. We need to pack."

I quickly changed into more comfortable clothing to sit in; some black denim leggings, my purple Dr. Martins and a blue tie dyed, long sleeve top and started to pack.


15 minutes later we were in Luke's car being driven to the airport.

Luke stopped in the parking and helped Jace haul the two suitcases out the trunk.

"Thanks Luke." Jace said politely. They shook hands and Luke faced me.

"Bye baby girl. See you in a couple of weeks. Be safe." He hugged me watching out for my big belly and waved us off.

Jace ushered me to check in and the cases were dropped off.

"Passengers, flying on the direct flight to Los Angeles board at gate 3 now, please." Came over the intercom.

Soon enough, Jace and I were in First Class and in the air.

I rested my head on Jace's shoulder. "Mmm, this is nice."

He kissed my forehead. "What's nice?"

"That we're just relaxing, not worrying about anything." Jace mumbled a yes and we slowly drifted off to sleep, hands interlocked, feeling the baby fluttering around.


"Clary, Clary." I was being nudged awake. I sleepily looked up to see Jace. "The plane's going to land soon, they told us to put our seat belts on."

When we stepped off the plane, Jace gave me a pair of sunglasses and put a pair on himself. "Clary, try and not catch people's attention. The driver is getting our bags, we must just head over to the car."

So that is what we did. When we reached the car, guy was following us with our luggage. "Good afternoon Jace." I stood there awkwardly while they hugged.

Jace turned to face me. "Clary this is my dear cousin William Herondale. Will this is my girlfriend Clarissa Fairchild" We shook hands and I swear I heard Will mutter to Jace.

"Good God Man, you knocked her up." I felt a little hurt by that comment by decided to ignore it.

"Shut up and take us to the Manor."

We climbed into the car and Will drove us somewhere.

He stopped at a gate and pressed an intercom button. "Is someone there? We're home!"

The gates opened and I took a proper look at the place. It was stunning, absolutely beautiful.

Jace climbed out the car and helped me out. Will got the bags and we walked up to the front doors where two people were standing there and waiting.

The woman ran up to Jace and hugged him, he still held my hand and used his other to hug her back.

"Oh, Jonathan, we missed you." Since he told me his real name: which was exactly the same as my brother's I definitely like Jace better.

"Hey mom, dad." He shook his dad's hand and introduced me. "Clary this is Celine and Stephen Herondale, mom, dad, this is Clarissa Fairchild, my girlfriend."

I said hi to both of them then Jace took our bags from Will and dragged me to where I suppose our temporary bedroom was, but his parents were walking behind us whispering to each other about nothing other than… I'll give you one guess… that's right my stomach.

Jace opened the door and I practically stepped into a home beauty magazine. It had white walls, the bedding was greens and blues, and there was a huge wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. Beautiful.

"Jace, Clary, we'll give you some time to settle in and in 10 minutes we would like to talk to you Jace in the library."

They shut the door with a bang, leaving me startled at their hostility. "Well they seem nice."

"Extremely. You can only guess why they want to talk to me alone." Jace ran a hand through his hair, looking frustrated.

"They don't like me very much. And since I'm pregnant with your baby out of wedlock they are going to think I'm a whore." Tears started dripping. Jace took one step towards me and wiped away the tears with his thumb pads.

"Baby, no one is going to think you're a whore, I love you so much." He kissed me smack on the lips. "So damn much."

"I love you too. Sorry for my annoying hormones. You better go." He left and I collapsed on the soft bed.

Wow, we just said I love you to each other I thought to myself and smiled. Just then the baby kicked me in the perfect place. I lifted up my top to see little fee prints where she is kicking, that is so adorable.

I closed my eyes and drifted off.


Remember to Review! I'll be posting the next chapter with Some of Jace's POV.

Love Jess!
