Only a short one. Although during this stage of pregnancy the mother would not show, Clary's pregnancy is much different and it will all become clear later in the story.
"Clary, I don't know what to say" Jace was lost for words, which wasn't something that happened often.
"I'm so so sorry Jace this is all my fault I should have noticed, what kind of girl completely forgets about skipping a period and not realising that all the signs pointed to pregnancy. How didn't I see it? How am I supposed to be a mother when I didn't even notice I was already a month pregnant? I..."Clary didn't get to finish her sentence. Jace had pulled her towards him and kissed her softly at first but Jace pulled slightly away from her just enough so he could clear see into her eyes fully but also so close to her that he could still feel every the beat of her heart and feel her breath on his neck. Clary watched Jace for a moment, his eyes where shining she could see his neck pulsing. she watched him as he opened his mouth and gulped and begin to speak. "I love you Clary and we will get through this, maybe this happened for a reason, Clary you're going to be an amazing mum I know you will be. we are going to be a family, a family Clary and somehow I promise we can make it work." Jace wasn't fully convinced by his own words. he had no idea whether they could make this work but he knew in his heart that he would never give up trying. not while his heart was still beating.
Clary couldn't resist any longer she pulled herself up so she was the same height as Jace, placed her hands on either side of his face and kissed him. Jace's hand slipped around the bottom of her back just centimetres from the top and he pants. With every touch the kiss got deeper both of them pulling towards each other, their bodies pressed up against each other. Clary pulled herself on top of Jace so she was sitting on his lap. His hands slid up the back of her top, making her take a little gasp. She moved her hands from Jace's face and tangled them in his thick beautiful hair.
She leaned back against the pillows pulling Jace down on top of her, despite everything she wanted him to touch her to kiss her and wrap her in his arms and never let go. Jace laid down with Clary but used his elbows to hold him up so her wasn't putting any weight on Clary's stomach. His kisses moved from her lips across to her right cheek and down her neck,. Clary tensed underneath him as his kisses slowly moved down her chest and stopped just above her belly button. Jace ran his hand across Clary's stomach, now he could clearly see there was a tiny baby bump showing where his baby was growing inside her. He traced the outline of the bump with kisses, pulled Clary's shirt back down before crawling back up the bed towards Clary and lying down next to her. Jace snuggled up against her rubbing her back until they both fell asleep. There was no more words to be said, but the silence had never been so loud.
