(Clary's Pov)
Once I got in the shower Jace was gone. Too lazy to change, I just put on some underwear and a robe over it. I start to look around and then stop once I see Jace on the balcony. Jace is so lost in thought he doesn't ever hear me close the door. I quietly and slowly go up to him and link my arm in his, grabbing a hold of his hand. He jumps a bit and then once he realized it was me he calms down. Going back to look up at the stars, I lay my head on his neck.
"Tonight is a beautiful night, isn't it?" I ask, moving my eyes to look at his face.
"Very, but you're the only one I would want to be with on this beautiful night." Jace said, as he kissed my head.
"I love you so much, you know that right?" I ask. Jace nods his head.
"I love you too, my wife." Jace says, looking at me. I take my other hand and push his face to mine. Pressing our lips together, slowly as I gave him all of my love. When we finally pull away, both of us lay our noses on each other.
"You called me your wife?" I whisper.
"Because you are my wife, marriage or not." Jace says.
"I completely agree, but I still want the ceremony," I say.
"I feel the same," Jace says, rubbing his nose with my nose. Turning his head to kiss me, but I pull away completely. Go over to some of the chairs and sit down. Jace follows me and sits down on the chair next to me.
"Can we stay up and watch the sunset, if we ever get tired when we can use our stamina rune?" I ask, with a pleading face.
"Sure love, just let me get a blanket." Jace says, running inside. Leaving me to think, what is up with all the new nicknames he's calling me. I mean it is cute, but it's not like him. I know he has changed a lot, but he doesn't seem like the type to use those cringey nicknames. But I do know I do not want him to stop, it shows how special I am to him. And I know he tells me all the time, but this is different.
. . .
The sun starts to rise as we are laying on each other. My eyes drift to his face, causing my heart to beat out of my chest. I feel like my life would be over if it weren't for him. Getting lost in thought, the only thing I was able to knock me of it, was the blinding light of the sun. Making me cover my eyes from the light. Jace sees this and begins to pick me up. Immediately wrapping my arms around his neck as he walks us over to the bed. Tucking me in, but as he walks away I grab a hold of his arm. Jace turns off the lights and goes around to the other side of the bed. Getting under the covers, pulling me towards him. Putting half of my body on top of his. Slowly falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
The next morning I find myself hugging a giant body pillow, instead of Jace. I slowly turn around, rubbing my eyes so they can adjust to the light. Eventually I see Jace coming towards me with a tray of food. I not6ice that he has a single red rose in a small vase on the side. Blush creeping on my face. I slowly sit up as he gets closer.
"You are the most amazing man ever!" I say. Once he gets to the edge of the bed, he sets the tray down on my lap. Leaning in and kissing my forehead. Then moving back and sitting on the bed. Jace just smiles and sits there, as I scarf down the food. Jace just laughs.
"I hate to say this, but we have to go home soon." He says. I just nod my head and look down.
"I'm scared." I said.
"Why? What's wrong?" Jace asks.
"What about Jonathan and Valentine?" I ask.
"We are going to deal with them tonight! We will lure them somewhere and finish this once in for all. I don't want them anywhere near us as we are trying to start our life together," Jace says. I just smile and nod my head. I pull him in and give him a kiss on the cheek, getting up to get out an outfit. Jace stays there for a few minutes, watching me. Then he gets up to get ready as well.
. . .
When we arrive at the institute, Jace runs in to talk to Alec and Magnus. I make my way over to Izzy so I can talk to her. Aggressively banging on her door, just waiting for her to open up. Becoming impatient, I bust open the door only to find Simon and Izzy on her bed making out. They immediately pull away to find me standing there.
"Uh, I need to talk to you, Izzy." I say. Simon gets up blushing and walks out closing the door. I raise up my left hand, shaking it. Izzy jumps up screaming.
"Oh my god you said yes! I can't believe he actually had the guts." Izzy says.
"Wait, you knew?" I ask.
"Who do you think set that up. He practically dragged me to the store." Izzy says.
"Oh my god I can not believe it! I thought he was breaking up with me," I say.
"What? You are crazy, he would never." This made me laugh a bit, but before I could a random sickness had came out of nowhere. I carefully put my hand over my mouth, trying to hold back. Unfortunately, that didn't work, causing me to dash to the nearest bathroom. Going straight to the toilet, immediately throwing up my breakfast. Izzy comes in right behind me. Grabbing my hair and holding it back. A few minutes later and I am completely done. Slowly bringing my hand up to the handle, flushing it down. I lay my back against the wall, taking a deep breath.
"Are you okay? What's up with that?" Izzy asks, kneeling down.
"I have no idea?"
"Have you and Jace done it more than the time you told me about?" She asks. Then it clicked. We forgot a condom. Oh my god, how could we be so stupid.
"Oh my god, I can't believe we were so stupid to forget that one tiny thing." I say, hitting myself.
"How late are you?" She asks.
"I think about 4 days,"
"Ok, I have some tests right here. Just in case," Izzy says, going into a drawer and taking out 2 tests. She leaves the bathroom, closing the door behind her. I slowly get up and open both boxes.
When I am done, I open the door and let Izzy in. The next 5 minutes is such a long wait, and the whole time I am freaking out. How am I going to fight Jonathan and Valentine if I were pregnant. I look at Izzy and then back at the sticks. Slowly turning them over to look at the results
+ Positive
+Positive
I fell to the ground. Tears pouring out of my eyes. Izzy runs to me and holds me. Crying in her arms, afraid of what will happen next. My eyes then move over to my left hand. My tears are making my vision blurry as I stare at my ring. The symbol of our love is right there on my hand. I feel myself starting to calm down. I pull away from Izzy, but as I do she pulls me up. Bringing me to her bed.
"Hey? Why are you so upset? Isn't this a good thing?" Izzy asks.
"It is, these are happy tears. I can't wait to have his kids." I say.
"I am so happy for you, you two are meant for each other," Izzy says.
"But Izzy you have to promise, you can not tell Jace. Not until I decide it's the right time," I say.
"Okay, but you're not thinking about still going against Jonathan, and Valentine are you?" She asks.
"I have no choice, I am the only one who can." I say, looking away.
"Clary you will die if you do it alone," She says, worried.
"Izzy I will be fine, you don't have to worry. But don't tell anyone." I say. Izzy hesitantly nods her head. I then get up and run out of her room. Rushing to my room to get my swords and gear. Once I am ready, I activate my soundless rune, and slowly but quietly walk down stairs. Peeking around the corner, to see Jace and the rest of the gang in a circle. I guess they are trying to find a way to finish them.
My heart is beating really fast. What I am doing could mean I could never have the life that I dreamed of with Jace. I could never grow old with him or have this baby with him. I touch my stomach as I think about it. I want this baby so bad, just thinking about a lifetime of happiness with the love of my life and my beautiful baby. I wipe away my tears, and run out of the institute. I quickly take a deep breath, trying to put away my emotions.
(Jace's Pov)
Once we figure out our plan I rush upstairs to Izzy's room. I am about to knock on the door, but then I hear crying. The door is cracked open a little bit so I quietly look in to see Izzy crying. Pushing the door open, running to her. Hugging her as she cries into my shoulder. Why is she so upset, what happened. I pull away to look at her and she looks so broken.
"Izzy, what's wrong?" I ask.
"I cannot tell you," She says.
"Come on, you are heartbroken, just tell me," I say. Izzy just nods her head and gets up bringing back two little sticks. She handed them to me and my eyes went wide. There in my hands were two pregnancy tests and both were positive.
"Wait, you're pregnant?" I ask.
"No, I'm not, but Clary is." Izzy says. My mind went blank, Clary my Clary is pregnant with my kid? Oh my god I can not believe it. I am going to be a dad, about to have a child with the love of my life.
"That's great, wait, why are you crying?" I ask.
"Because Jace she's going to kill herself!" Izzy yells.
"W - What? She wouldn't do that!" I yell, defensively.
"She is on her way to fight Jonathan and Valentine right now! She said she is the only one who can defeat them, she is trying to protect all of us." Izzy says. No,she can't do this.
"Iz we need to go now, I can not live with her." I say, she nods her head. Running downstairs to warn the others. Fear throughout my entire body, she cannot die. I still can't believe she's pregnant with my kid. I already love that baby so much already. Once we warn everyone, I activate my tracking rune and take one of her drawings. I got her! She's not dying on my watch.
. . .
Adrenaline rushes through my body as my eyes land on Clary. There she was in the middle of nowhere, fighting both Jonathan and Valentine. Rushing over to her side, punch Jonathan in the face. Her shock is shown on her face. I grab my sword out of my pocket and take a quick look at her. Clary pulls her eyes away from me and back on Jonathan. Rushing in, she jumps and lands on him, stabbing him in the back. Right in the middle of his spine, causing him to cough up some black blood. She then takes her sword out of his spin and slices his throat.
"You are over! You should have never been born!" Clary yells. Wow, that was dark. Valentine then comes up behind her. Before he could reach her my stamina rune activates and I reach her before him. Clary turns around and looks at me. We both came up with the same Idea. Waiting for the right moment to attack him. Valentine is getting closer with each step. At the very last second I grab a hold of Valentine, sparing hand to hand. I get him in a head lock and look over at Clary, telling her that now is the time. She just nods her head and gets in her stance.
"Your life has come to an end Valentine, and this time there's no way you're coming back this time." I say. This causes Valentine to turn around to see Clary running full speed ahead. The next thing I know is seeing her sword go straight through his heart. Immediately his face goes numb and all the life and fight in his eyes disappear. His hold is loosening up on me, I can finally breathe. I take a really big breath, and panting. Valentine falls down to the ground, holding his heart.
A big smile appears on my face as I run to Clary. Picking her up into the biggest hug, spinning her around. Then, once I put her down, I kiss her cheek. My hand then automatically goes to her stomach. I kneel down and kiss her stomach. My heart starts to flutter, as I realize that we actually did it. Clary can finally escape her past and put all this behind us.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant with my kid?" I ask.
"I was going to but I was waiting for the right time." Clary said.
"Do you know how dangerous that was, why did you go alone?" I ask, pulling her in for a hug.
"It was my messed up family, it had to be me to put an end to them. They killed my mother and took me away from the only father figure I had known." Clary says, hugging me back.
"Clary you risked your life and our baby's life, you know how hurt I would be if I found out that the love of my life and baby died." I say. Letting go of her so I could look her in the eyes.
"I'm sorry, I was really scared too. I am so happy that I am pregnant, and I can't wait to have your baby." Clary says, as she puts her hands on her stomach.
All I feel is happiness going throughout all of me. After a little bit we decided it's time to go home. So Clary does her portal rune and gets us to the institute. Everyone welcomed us with open arms and gave us big hugs. Clary and I told everyone about our engagement and the fact that we are having a baby. The hugs would not stop after that, the rest of the night was chill. We ended up watching a movie and Clary fell asleep on me. I quietly pick her up and leave everyone to finish the movie. Bringing her to the room and laying down. I quickly get in the shower and come back an hour later. Falling asleep not long after.
