Author's note: Hey guys first I just wanted to say that i'm really happy that you guys liked the idea for this story and i'm really excited about writing it! Secondly I wanted to tell you guys that there is not going to be a set schedule for updating this story due to the fact that I recently had a baby about 2 months ago. This makes finding the time to write a little hard but I would like to do my best to update at least once every two weeks. Also i realized that i never put up a disclaimer, so here it is. All characters are owned by Cassandra Clare!
It had been two weeks since Clary found out she was pregnant and she still couldnt find the strength to tell anyone, not even Jace. She was afraid he would push her away if he knew and that terrified her but she knew that she couldn't hide it forever. Eventually people would start to notice, she was running out of time and she was starting to panic.
What's up with Clary she's been acting so weird these last few weeks, Jace thought to himself. He was pacing back and forth in front of the piano he had been trying to play. He had hoped to distract himself from the changes he was noticing in how Clary was acting around him. She had been really distant and he knew that something was bothering her but he couldn't figure out what it could be. They had been so happy lately or at least he thought they had, so why did it feel like he was missing something. He growled in frustration as he continued to pace back and forth.
"You're gonna wear holes in the floor if you keep pacing like that" a voice said from the doorway. His head shot up at the sound of a voice by the door.
"Isabelle what do you want?" Jace said glaring at her for breaking him out of his pondering. " I just wanted to tell you that Clary is home and that we are going to be having dinner soon" she told him before turning to walk away.
"Izzy wait" jace said before she walked out the door. She turned back waiting her him to say what was on his mind.
"Have you noticed anything wrong with Clary lately? Jace asked her. Izzy was surprised by Jace's question at first but now that she thought about it she realized that Clary had been acting weird lately.
"Now that you mention it she has been acting really weird I know there's something she isn't telling me but I can't figure out what would be so bad that she needed to hide it from me, I mean I am her best friend after all" Izzy said with a worried look on her face that mirrored her brother Jace's.
"I get the same feeling Izzy she's hiding something for sure but i just wish she would talk to me, she should be able to telling me anything." he told his sister. Izzy just shook her head in agreement before telling him that they should head to dinner.
Clary had just come back from her walk when she heard Izzy saying that dinner would ready soon. She sighed and went to lay down in her room before she had to face everyone for dinner. She found herself dreading everything that involved her seeing her friends lately. She knew she was probably starting to act weird and they were starting to notice it. She had no choice but to tell Jace soon before someone else found out. She needed to be the one to tell him because if he heard it from anyone else he would freak out. She signed again and got out of bed getting ready to head down to dinner. Once she got their she realized that everyone else was already there and that they had been waiting for her. Dinner went by rather uneventfully except that she noticed everyone kept sneaking glances at her. It made her rather uncomfortable but she realized that she needed to start telling people. She decided that she would finally tell Jace tonight.
After dinner was done she asked Jace if they could take privately so they headed upstairs to their room. Once there she sat down on the bed nervously looking at Jace who was giving her a worried look in return. He was debating whether or not he should sit down next to her when she spoke up. "You might want to sit down for what i'm about to tell you" she said giving him a nervous look.
Jace looked at her now nervous himself as he sat down next to her on the bed and looked at her waiting for her to say what was on her mind. They sat there in silence neither one saying a thing for quite some time making Jace more nervous as time went on. "Do you love me?" she asked him suddenly
"Of course I love you clary why would you even need to ask me that?" Jace answered her growing more nervous and confused. She looked sad and scared and he knew now that something was definitely wrong.
"No reason" she said quickly not wanting to make him suspect anything was wrong.
Clary there is definitely something going on please tell me, you know that you can tell me anything" Jace pleaded with her
"I know it's just that what I have to tell you is really big and i'm just so afraid that once you know you might decide i'm not worth it anymore and i can't be alone you can't leave me Jace." She looked at him pleading with him. He could see tears forming at the corner of her eyes and he knew how scared she was. He could see in on her face and in the way that she looked at him as if she was going to bolt at any second. It broke his heart to see her like that.
He sighed before pulling him into his arms and placing her against his chest. "there's nothing you could say that would ever make me want to leave you" He told her as he kissed the top if her head.
She sighed before pulling away from him and looking him in the eyes. What she saw there made her heart leap. She expected to see fear or hate but instead she found nothing but love in his eyes with maybe a hint of confusion. "Jace…. theres no easy way for me to tell you this so i guess im just going to come out and say it…" she paused not knowing if she could continue. He looked in her eyes holding his breath as he waited for her to finish. "... I'm pregnant Jace" she finally finished after what felt like an eternity to him. He sat there stunned into silence unable to form any words. His complete silence was making Clary really nervous why wont he say anything? she thought. He blinked a few times before finally being able to form words again.
"Oh…" was all Jace could managed to say. He was in shock he knew that something had been going on with her but he never expected it to be this. He never expected her to be pregnant. He knew he needed to say something to her. " It's going to be okay baby" he finally managed to say. She looked at him with disbelief.
"How can you say that?" she asked him, still so unsure about everything. She was still nervous that he was going to run. She could feel like tears that had been forming in her eyes start to fall.
He looked at her starting to cry for a second before pulling her back against his chest as he whispered calming things to her while he kissed the top of her head. "We are going to make it through this i promise" he told her. She wanted to believe that everything was going to be okay but she couldn't bring herself to believe it. She still had to tell the rest of them what was going on and she dreaded it. He says he wants to stay with me now but what if he changes his mind. I cant do this alone I can't raise this baby but myself. Clary was panicking inside and she knew that Jace could see it because he tightened his hold on her as if he was trying to say that he was never going to let her go.
