Chapter Twelve

Time Jump – Six Months Later

Clary POV:

The wedding was finally here and I was freaking out. I had poured everything into this moment for the past who knows how long and now that it's finally here I really can't believe it. I was excited to get married to Jace, and have all our friends witness it. As much as I was against it, Jace invited Jon as a peace offering between us. He kindly replied to Jace with a no, and I didn't really care, and neither did Jace. He just thought it might settle the bad blood between us but that relationship is dead. It won't ever be repaired, and honestly I don't need him. I have my other family, plus the one that Jace and I create together and that's all I need.

"Clary are you ready?" I heard Izzy say and it broke me out of my mind. I turned around and smiled at her.

"I've been ready since he asked me to marry him." I said and she walked over and hugged me.

"I'm really happy for the two of you. I never thought Jace was going to find love, and nobody deserves love more than you." She said and my eyes started to water. "Do not cry before he sees you." She said and we both laughed.

We walked to the back o the ceremony space and I took a deep breath. I was walking myself down the aisle, and I was okay with that. I had been on my own my whole life, and this was no different, but I knew Jace was at the end of the aisle waiting for me, and that made me happier than I could express. When the doors opened I heard the music and I began to walk. My eyes locked with golden ones and my smile spread ten times wider. When I finally got to him he was smiling just as much as I was. I handed Izzy my flowers and Jace took my hands.

"You ready?" He asked and I let out a little laugh.

"More than you could possibly know." I said and we both faced the preacher. I couldn't even tell you what he was saying. I was so focused on the fact that I was going to be his wife that nothing else really mattered to me. We recited our vows and before I knew it Jace's lips were on mine. We broke apart and I couldn't help but smile.

"I love you Mrs. Lightwood." Jace said.

"I love you too Mr. Lightwood." I said back and he kissed me again. I couldn't tell you how amazing it was to be a Lightwood. I felt loved, and accepted, and worthy for the first time in years. I was proud of my name now, and you can bet your ass that I'll be telling everyone my name now.

Time Jump – Jace's Graduation

Clary POV:

Jace was graduating from college today and I couldn't be more proud of him. He had worked so hard for this and I knew that he was going to do amazing things in life. His family met me at our house to head over to the college and watch his ceremony. I didn't know why I was nervous, I mean, all he was doing was walking across a stage and grabbing his diploma but my stomach was in knots. I had been feeling off for about two weeks and I didn't know why. The president of the college started to talk and I quickly shoved the thought aside and focused on the ceremony.

Like all college graduations it took forever for it to finish. I just wanted to grab Jace and pull him into a hug and give him the biggest kiss ever. This was the start of our lives together, and I couldn't be happier to be doing it with someone as amazing as Jace. When we finally saw him walking towards us the first thing he did was scoop me up into a hug, and in that moment my stomach had other ideas for me. I pushed myself out of his arms and found the nearest bush. I emptied my stomach and when I looked up our whole family was staring at me.

"I'm so sorry." I said and Jace walked over to me.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yea, I just wasn't feeling well this morning and I think the sudden motion of you picking me up pushed me over the edge." I said and Jace smiled.

"Okay, but if you aren't feeling better soon you're going to the doctor." He said and I laughed.

"Yes sir." I said and he pulled me into another hug, but slower this time. "Alright, lets go out to celebrate."

"Are you sure you want too? You just puked in the rose bushes." Jace said and I smacked his arm.

"I'm feeling much better now. Plus, you just graduated, we need to celebrate." I said and Jace laughed. He put his arm around me and we made our way to our cars. When we got to the restaurant everything was back to normal, like I hadn't just puked everywhere and I was having a great time. By the time we got back to our place I was exhausted. I got changed and crawled into bed and let exhaustion take me over.

Time Jump – One Week Later

Clary POV:

I had thrown up a couple more times since Jace's graduation and I was currently sitting in the doctors office waiting to be called back. It was weird because I didn't feel sick, but I also felt like shit at the same time. I just wanted to be diagnosed with something, given medicine, and than go on my merry way.

"Clarissa Lightwood?" A nurse called and I stood up and followed her. She did the normal things like blood pressure, temperature, weight, height, and than I sat down. "The doctor should be in shortly." I nodded and she left the room. About 10 minutes later the doctor walked in holding my chart.

"Clarissa, how are you today?" He asked.

"I'm alright." I said.

"Everything looks normal except your weight." He said and I looked at him. "The last time you were here you weighed about 120 pounds, which is normal for someone of your age and height, but according to what was weighed today, you are currently 135."

"I gained 15 pounds?" I asked astonished.

"Yes, have you not noticed?" The doctor asked.

"I mean, some of my jeans don't fit anymore, and my feet have been killing me lately, and god my back feels like I'm always carrying cinderblocks around." I said and the doctor looked at me.

"Do you mind if we get some blood work done? I will rush it and the results will be back in an hour. You can stay in the waiting room until they are ready." The doctor said and I nodded. He wasted no time with drawing my blood before I was sitting in the waiting room for my results. I didn't know what was going on and the doctor kind of scared me.

An hour later I was still sitting there waiting for someone to come out and tell me what the blood results were. I texted Jace telling him what was going on and not worry but I was worrying anyway because the doctor didn't tell me what he was looking for.

"Clarissa Lightwood." I heard and I turned to see the doctor standing there. I walked over to him and he smiled at me. "Congratulations, you're pregnant." He said and my eyes could have popped out of my head.

"I'm what?" I asked and he laughed.

"You're pregnant, and you're almost done your first trimester." He said.

"How is that possible? How didn't I know?" I asked.

"Your symptoms seemed to be later than most pregnant women." He said and I nodded and took a deep breath.

"Thank you doctor." I said and he nodded and walked away. I drove home in a daze. I mean, of course I wanted kids but I thought I'd have a little more time before that happened. When I got home Jace was sitting on the couch watching TV. I walked over and sat down next to him.

"So, what sickness do you have?" Jace asked.

"Pregnancy." I said and I heard his gasp.

"What?" He asked.

"You heard me. I'm pregnant, and apparently I'm three months along." I said.

"How didn't we know?" He asked and just shrug.

"According to the doctor I'm a late bloomer. Figures, I didn't get my period until I was almost 16."

"Okay, too much information." He said and I laughed.

"We can have sex, you can watch me throw up, and I pee when you're in the shower, but knowing what age I got my period at freaks you out?" I said and he laughed. It was silent for a minute before I looked at him. "Are you happy about this?"

"Happy?" He said and he let out a laugh. "Clary, having kids with you is at the top of my 'to do' list." He said and I laughed. He slammed his lips to mine and I immediately kissed him back.

"Good. I was so scared to tell you." I said and he smiled.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because we're young, and I thought you'd want to wait a little while." I said and he pulled me into his side.

"We're young, but we're in love, we're married, we graduated college, we're financially okay. We're in good shape to raise a child, and I can't wait to do it." He said and I smiled.

"I love you." I said and he pressed his lips to my head.

"I love you too." I curled into his side and basked in the peacefulness of the silence until Jace started laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Wait until you tell Iz." He said and I groaned and buried my face into his neck. She was going to go absolutely crazy when she finds out, and lord knows Izzy has never been one to be able to reign herself in when she gets an idea in her head.
