Hey guys... please don't round up a mob because I have a valid reason for not updating. It's my computer. We got it checked out by the Geeksquad so it's okay now! Hurrah! Okay so this chapter is kind of a filler chapter. There will be more drama in the next one so just bear with me okay? Remember, I don't own TMI charcaters. They belong to Cassie Clare, whom I love so much. Also, I will be taking suggestions on names for babies whether it be a boy or girl. Seeing as it will be coming up soon, I want your input. Don't forget to read, follow, favorite, and REVIEW!

Two months wasn't a big deal but three was. You could start to see the form of the baby; I had read on the internet, at this point, I had a slight bump in my tummy. Instead of taking Isabelle and Jonathan, who already had about fifty pictures each, I took Celine and Mum because they hadn't gone yet. We waited in the lobby of Dr. Dorothea's office. Mum and Celine were discussing baby names and the gender, and I sat reading a magazine about a nursery for the baby.
"Clarissa Morgenstern," asked, the bald overly muscular guy, whose name I learned was Phil. Celine and Mum followed me into the back.
"Hello Clary. New guests," asked Dr. Dorothea, looking up from her paper work. I introduced my mother and Celine.
"You've talked to my mother over the phone to schedule the first appointment. This is Celine Herondale. She is, er," I paused, not sure what to call her but she jumped in saying that she was my mother-in-law. She gave me a reassuring smile and seated herself in Isabelle's usual seat.
"Well Mrs. Morgenstern, your son certainly has quite an appetite on him. He eats like a vacuum cleaner. And Mrs. Herondale, your son had incredibly good genes. This baby, from my records so far, is extremely healthy," she said beaming at both of them. Celine's eyes widened in a pleasantly surprised sort of way. I lifted my shirt and Dr. Dorothea slathered the gel onto my stomach. I felt someone grip my hand and I looked up to see Celine, looking at the screen with a nervous face. And then we saw the baby. It had gotten larger since the last time when it was the size of grape. Her face lite up and she smiled. I looked back at the screen.
"That is the head," she said, pointing to the rounded square at the top of the big white blob. I could see little eyes, closed as if asleep and I smiled. I heard someone sniffle and I looked up to see Celine, with tears in her eyes. Mum looked from the screen and I could tears in her eyes too. I laughed. I guess they were excited to see their grandbaby close for the first time.
"It's beautiful," murmured Mum, touching me cheek, beaming down at me.
"Well the heartbeat is a little bit over 140 so we know that he or she is alive and kickin' in there," said Dr. Dorothea, handing me a wipe to clean my barely there baby bump. I smiled a self satisfied smile.
"Now, since you are almost done with your first trimester, I recommend you start going to parenting classes. They have classes every Wednesday and Friday afternoon and cover things like nutrition for you and the baby, different types of birthing, and can offer support if you need it," she said, handing me a pamphlet for Penhallow's Parenting Class.
"Thank you, we'll definitely check it out," said Celine, quickly beaming at Dr. Dorothea. I threw the napkin away after scheduling the next appointment. I grabbed my backpack and then, after saying good-bye to Dr. Dorothea, we left.
"Oh Clarissa, it was so precious. When they give you the pictures, please give them to me. I need to brag about my grandbaby to my co-workers," said Celine, who was teacher.
"And don't forget about me, Clary. I was thinking about doing a collage," said Mum thoughtfully. I nodded at both of them as they dropped me off at Isabelle's house.
"Clary, what are you doing here," asked Alec, whose face was red. Magnus must be over. Just as I thought that, a hand curled over Alec's chest. Magnus, rested his head on the back of Alec's neck.
"Who dares interrupt Malec time," Magnus muttered into Alec's neck. Alec blushed even more.
"Someone who has red hair and is wielding pictures of her baby," I said, and Magnus looked up and gave me a Cheshire cat smile, his golden green eyes twinkling.
"Well why didn't you say so before? Come in," said Magnus, backing up and pulling Alec with him. I walked into the house and sat on the couch.
"What brings you here, Clary," asked Alec, still looking flustered because Magnus had moved back into their previous position.
"Clary? Did someone say Clary," asked a voice that belongs solely to Isabelle. She came in wearing a pair of sweatpants and a black tank top. There was no make-up on her face and it looked like she had been crying.
"Izzy, what's wrong," I asked, coming over to her and hugging her.
"Why don't you come back into my room and I'll tell you," she said sniffling, " and besides, I doubt seriously that you want to watch Alec and Magnus having sex on our leather couch."
I nodded and shivered, my mind thinking about Magnus and Alec having sex. Two very hot guys having sex together. I followed her back into her lair and she sat on her messy bed. After the door was closed, she collapsed on herself.
"Izzy, what's wrong," I asked in a small voice.
"It's about Simon," she said in a sad tone.
"What about him," I asked, Izzy and Simon had been dating for a little less than a year. She met him at a club called Pandemonium and they began to date.
"We got in a fight last night," she said, looking like she was about to cry.
"About what? You guys are perfect for each other. Why are you fighting," I asked really confused. Simon, from what I had seen, was at Isabelle's beck and call.
"I found that he cheated on me with Maia Roberts," she burst into tears, "and the worst part was he did this when I was looking for him at Jordan's party.
"Wait…Maia Roberts," I whispered and then it dawned on me, "you mean Jordan Kyle's Maia?"
Isabelle nodded her head still in her hands, quietly sobbing.
"Oh jeez, I'm that happened to you, Iz. Who's gonna tell Jordan? He's gonna be hella pissed to find out his girlfriend cheated on him," I muttered to myself.
"She deserves it. I mean, everyone can tell Jordan is gorgeous. Why can't she just be happy with what she has and leave other people's boyfriends alone," Isabelle cried into her hands so more. I leaned over and hugged her. She latched onto me and we stayed like that for a few minutes. Me rocking her back and forth and her ugly face, though Isabelle could never really cry ugly face because she, herself was gorgeous, into my hair.
"I don't understand, Clary," Isabelle murmured. I began to rub circles into her back.
"I know, Iz. I know," I said.
So a little moment with the Moms because, you know, I'm sentimental like that. I also focus on Celine a lot because they don't really talk about her that much. Also, what the heck happened with SIZZY? I swear you'll find out the details next week and also, check out A Tale of Two Amoris by my dear Fanfic pal CherrySlushLover. It's really good! Hugs and Kisses!
