Chapter Fourteen

Time Jump – Two Months Later

Jace POV:

I was just putting all the snowboarding stuff away after our night session. These kids were naturals and I was really surprised with the girls this season. They were coming out here and kicking ass. They were giving the boys a run for their money. I was locking up the shed when I heard someone yell my name. I turned around and saw Clary standing out on the balcony.

"Jace! Get in here!" She yells and I can't help but laugh and start making my way to the house. When I walk in the front door I'm nearly tackled to the ground by Clary.

"What are you so hyper about?" I ask and she laughs and holds up three pregnancy tests, all reading positive. "You're serious?" I said and she nodded and I picked her up and swung her around. "Oh my god you're pregnant."

"I'm pregnant. We're going to have another baby." She said and I couldn't stop myself from slamming my lips to hers. We stayed like that for a while until we heard gagging. We turned around and saw Jacqueline and Patrick standing there pretending to throw up. Clary and I both laughed and walked towards them. "I'm glad you two are here. We have something we would like to talk about with you." Clary said and their faces paled.

"Are we in trouble?" Patrick asked and I laughed.

"Not at all." I said and I wrapped my arm tighter around Clary. "I'm just going to come right out and say it, your mom is pregnant." I said and their faces paled even more.

"It's bad enough I walk in on you two making out all the time, but now I have that in my head too." Jacqueline said and I reached out and pulled her into a headlock.

"Get used to it Jack, cause I can't resist your mother." I said and she gagged again and I let her go. She smiled and went over to Clary and hugged her.

"Honestly, I'm happy about this mom. I've always wanted a little sister."

"I could be having a boy." Clary said and Jacqueline laughed.

"Naw, we already have our hands filled with Dad and Pat, you'll have another girl so we can out number them." Jacqueline said and Patrick scoffed.

"You wanna bet?" He said and Jacqueline laughed.

"You're so on. If I'm right you do my chores for a month, if you're right, I'll do your chores for a month." Jacqueline said and Patrick nodded and they shook on it. "You are so going to lose." She said once again and walked away. Patrick shook his head, gave Clary a hug and followed Jacqueline. I turned towards Clary and pulled her into a hug.

"I think that went really well." I said and she laughed.

"Me too. It could have been worse." She said and I scooped her up and carried her to our room. When I put her on the bed she grabbed my shirt and pulled me down to her lips. "I love you Jace."

"I love you too Clare, and I can't wait to have this little one." I said as my hand rested on her belly. She smiled and I kissed her again. I couldn't wait raise another baby with Clary, and see what this one was like.

Time Jump – Gender Reveal

Clary POV:

I had asked Izzy to come to this appointment with me because I wanted to surprise everyone with the gender. I was nervous to find out what I was having, but I would honestly be happy with either. As long as he or she is healthy that's all that matters. Izzy and I were sitting in the waiting room when they called my name.

"Clarissa Herondale?" The nurse called and Izzy and I stood up and made our way into the room. "No husband today Clarissa?"

"No. I didn't want him being here when I found out the gender. I want to surprise him and our kids." I said and she nodded.

"Alright, lay back and lift your shirt. The gel might be cold so be prepared." She said and I did as instructed, and she was right the gel was very cold. After a moment of silence she started speaking again. "Alright Clarissa, looks like you are having a baby girl." She said and Izzy squealed and I couldn't help but laugh. She cleaned off the gel and left the room and Izzy and I made our way back to the raining center.

"So what are you going to do?" Izzy asked and I smiled.

"I'm going to grab a snowboard, and a pair of skates, and hold them and than after everyone gets fed up with me holding out on them I'll hold up the skates for them." I said and she smiled. We pull up to the house and I go to the big bell tower and ring it, I told everyone that was the signal that I would be making the announcement. I made my way into the house and out onto the balcony and everyone was gathered right in front of me. Jacqueline, Patrick, and Jace were obviously in the front. A moment later Izzy showed up with the snowboard and skates. I held them in each hand and after a couple minutes Jacqueline yelled.

"Mom, this is killing me!" She said and I laughed. Another moment passed before I held up the skates. Jacqueline and Jace started cheering along with the rest of the kids, and Patrick looked defeated. Before I knew it Jace was wrapping his arms around me. He turned me around and gave me a kiss.

"I can't believe we're having another girl." He said and I laughed. He kissed me again before turning back around to the whole camp. "Alright everyone, back to your sessions!" He yelled and everyone scattered. I turned back to Jace and he had the biggest smile on his face. We walked back into the house where Izzy was packing her things up to leave.

"Thank you for coming with me today Iz." I said and she walked over and gave me a hug.

"Let me know if you need anything!" She said and I nodded and she left. I turned back around and Jace was smirking at me.

"What?" I asked as I made my way over to her.

"I forgot how sexy you looked with a bump." He said and he ran his hands over my bump. I couldn't help but smile.

"At least I look sexy, cause I feel like a beached whale." I said and he leaned down and captured my lips with his.

"You've never looked more beautiful than you do carrying my child." He said and he kissed me again. Once we broke apart he looked me in the eyes. "I have to go finish this session, but than I'll hand it over to Emma and Mark, and we'll take the rest of the day to bask in the moment." He said and I laughed and nodded. He gave me one more kiss before he walked back outside. I rubbed my belly and smiled to myself. I couldn't wait to have this one, and I was excited to see how Jacqueline and Patrick did with their little sister.
