"Well, are we using my couch or one of yours," asked Isabelle, as we both stood in front of the empty space across from the t.v in our apartment.
"Why don't we get a new one," I asked and Isabelle turned to me with a horrified look. It was understandable. The couches at the furniture stores were gross and did not appeal to anyone's senses so I guess we would be taking Isabelle's.
"Yours," we both agreed. It had been a week since Jace and I got together and today for the first time, he would be coming to my doctor's appointment. The beeping for our buzzer told us that someone was trying to come in. Izzy answered it.
"Who was it," I asked, and Isabelle said it was the Chinese. I nodded and Isabelle told me she was taking a shower.
"There's a twenty on the counter, pay for the food," she said before she left. After I gave her a nod, she left. Just after she left the room, there was knock on the door. I went to open the door. Instead of the Chinese was Simon Lewis, Izzy's ex standing in front of me.
"Simon, I wasn't expecting you. We weren't expecting you," I said giving him a pointed look. He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. His skin was pale and there were bags under his eyes.
"Is Isabelle here," he asked a little breathlessly. I folded my arms.
"She is but I doubt seriously that she'll want to see you right now," I said, still glaring at him, judging him.
"Well can I talk to her," he asked, shoving his hands into his pockets. He looked so hopelessly lost right now. I sighed and opened the door wider and stepped back to let him in.
"I heard about the baby; congratulations," he said, giving me a small smile and I nodded. I walked into the bathroom after telling Simon to stay put.
"Izzy, you have someone here to see you," I shouted into the bathroom. Isabelle poked her head out of the shower.
"Who," she asked, half suspiciously and half curiously.
"Come see and you'll find out," I said, giving her an exaggerated wink. She groaned and I walked out the room, waiting for her outside the door. When she came out, she had a towel wrapped around her body with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Don't freak out okay," I asked right before we turned into the living room. Needless to say, she freaked out.
"Simon Lewis what the hell are you doing here," she screeched and Simon winced rubbing the back on his neck again.
"Hi Isabelle," he said.
"'Hi Isabelle'? That's all you have to say," she asked her voice rising another octave. There was a knock on the door. I went into the hallway to answer it but I could still hear Isabelle's shrieking and Simon's low voice trying to calm her down. I looked through the peep hole to see Jace's golden eyes looking through the peephole. I tore open the door and he tripped but caught himself.
"I meant to do that," he said, muttering to himself and I laughed.
"Hi Jace," I said, leaning on the threshold of the door.
"Hi Clary," he said, smiling down at me. I looked up at him and he leaned down to kiss me, "are you ready?"
I nodded and grabbed light jacket. Jace shook his head and grabbed a maroon scarf from the coat hanger.
"Is it cold out," I asked.
"It's cold enough," he said, and I took in his appearance. He had a black sweater and pair of jeans on that made his bright blonde hair stick out. He also had a cream colored scarf around his neck. In other words, he looked put together. I probably did not. I was wearing a loose green button down that had suddenly become tighter around my lower stomach. We walked out of the apartment hand in hand and walked to his car. One thing that I found out about Jace was that he had exceptionally good taste in music. One the way to Doctor Dorothea's we listened to some Young the Giant and some Imagine Dragons.
"Jace, are you ready to see your child," I asked, looking over to him once we pulled into the parking lot. He was looking down at his hands, looking completely and utterly nervous.
"I'm terrified, Clary," he muttered. And I leaned over and kissed his cheek. He instantly perked up.
"C'mon Jace, it'll be fun. She even serves food and everything," I said cheerfully and he smiled.
"Okay, I'm coming," he said, opening his door and stepping out. We walked into the office together and Phil smiled from his desk.
"Hi Clary, who've you brought with you this time," he asked, as we checked in. Jace was looking everywhere. At the ultrasounds on the walls, the parenting magazines and the baby books and toys for the toddlers to play with. He was taking it all in for the first time.
"This is my boyfriend, Jace," I said, and Jace's head instantly snapped from a little brown haired girl playing with one of the toys on the floor to us.
"Okay, well why don't you sit down? I'll let Dr. Dorothea know you're in,' he said and we both nodded sitting in some chairs.
"Jace, I'm going to go to the bathroom. Can I trust you not to do anything," I asked.
"You're faith in me is astounding," he said smiling and nodding. I went to the bathroom. While I was in there I thought about Jace. He said he was terrified. And that scared me. Maybe it was too much for him. I pushed those thoughts out of my mind and I opened the door. After coming down the hallway back to the waiting room, I see Jace lying on his stomach playing tea party with the little brown haired girl.
"Thank you for inviting me to your tea party, Nina. The food you made was delicious," he said gesturing to the plastic hamburger.
"Welcome Jace," she said, her cheeks turning pink. I didn't want to make my presence known until I snapped a couple of pictures with a tiara on Jace's head, holding a pink tea cup with his pinky up. I did so and coughed.
"Jace," I asked trying to cover up my laughter as he turned around with a stupefied face.
"Nina and I were just playing tea party. She is an excellent cook," he said and Nina giggled, flashing us a gummy smile.
"Clary, Madame Dorothea is waiting for you," said Phil from his desk. Jace stood up too and Nina gave him a sad look. He smiled devilishly at her before he bent down and whispered something in her ear which made her giggle again. I rolled my eyes. Even toddler girls weren't safe from Jace's looks. We walked into the office, where Dr. Dorothea's back was to us.
"I wondered when I would be meeting you, Mr. Herondale," she said, wheeling around in her chair. Her hair was up in a bun on the top of her head today. Her golden green eyes glittered mischievously.
"Here I am," he muttered, rubbing the back of his head, whilst leaning on the doorframe.
"Please come in. You know it's rude to linger in doorways," she clucked at him and he scurried into the room taking a seat next to me.
"Well, Clary, you know the drill. Shirt up," she said, giving me a smile. Jace's eyes widened.
"Well if I had know this would the part where you strip, I would've dressed better," he tease, smirking as I lifted my shirt. I rolled my eyes.
"Your boyfriend has quite a sense of humor," said Doctor Dorothea, putting the gel on my stomach, but this time it was warm. I sighed as she rubbed it on my stomach and Jace's smile stretched wider.
"If this is what you like, I know what to by next time you come around my apartment," he said, and I could feel my cheeks get hot. I looked at the TV screen.
"Well he's healthy. Still alive and kicking in there," she said, moving the wand around, you could start to see the face-wait he?
"He? It's a boy," I asked, my voice rising an octave, and Doctor Dorothea nodded.
"Jace, we have a son," I said, gripping his hand but Jace could barely grasp my hand. He was staring at the screen. I shook him.
"Huh," he asked, shaking himself as if he was waking up.
"We have a son, Jace," I said, softer this time. He looked back at the screen and then back at me.
"A son," he asked hesitantly. I nodded looking back at him. His golden eyes were glassy. And a big smile stretched across his features.
"We're gonna have a son."
