From afar the couple that walked down the vacant street toward the burned, abandoned building seemed completely ordinary, but then again from afar most people did. Hence forth Clary Morgenstern and Jace Herondale were every bit from ordinary. Brushing a fiery red curl behind her ear Clary clung to Jace.
"They're going to be mad, They're going to be mad." She whispered to him.
"No they won't, they'll just be angry." Jace's lips brushed against her forehead comforting her immediately.
"But Jace we left them! Fled!" Clary cried, Jace's second kiss not comforting her now in the least as she remembered the day all too well.
"Jace Mom wants to see you and Clary in her room." Isabelle Lightwood knocked on his door.
"Why?" Jace demanded opening the door furiously at Isabelle.
"I don't know." Isabelle trembled, very unlike her. "She was very VERY mad though."
"Ah well Maryse does have those tendencies." Jace said trying to lighten the dark mood lingering around the room. Isabelle glared at him.
"JACE!"
Getting up from his bed Clary turned to him and spoke,
"We better go, if Maryse is in a bed mood then it'll only get worse if we make her wait."
"mmm..." Jace said and draping his arm around her they walked down the hall near Maryse Lightwood's study.
"You wanted to see us Maryse?" Jace asked as he and Clary entered the study.
Maryse looked up from a paper and she looked up at the two of them.
"Yes."
Her head gave a sort of curt jerk.
"Jocelyn, your mother Clary, called and said that Clary had been over last Saturday while Robert, Alec, and I were at the Clave meeting."
Maryse's narrow eyes turned towards Clary.
"Jocelyn said that you had told her that it would only be you and Isabelle." Maryse glared at Clary. Clary gulped and Jace squeezed her hand.
"I think it was obvious what you two were doing that night and we, Jocelyn and I, think that it might be best if Clary stopped coming to the institute for training, stopped coming..." Maryse paused. "Stopped coming all together."
Clary gasped.
"I couldn't, I... I..." Clary stared at Maryse in shock.
"Maryse?" Jace asked.
"What Jace?" Maryse snapped. Jace for once in his life seemed in shock.
"Fine." Jace said. "Clary won't be coming back to the institute."
Clary stared at her boyfriend not believing what she was hearing.
"And neither, will I." Jace finished. "Come on Clary we're leaving."
"Jace!" Maryse stared at her adopted son.
"You can't keep me away from someone I love." Jace glared at Maryse. And then he and Clary fled out of the institute towards New York.
"My mom is going to freak Jace!" Clary outburst coming back to reality.
"Why?" Jace asked jokingly.
"For gods sake! I'm pregnant Jace!" Clary said. "I'm pregnant at 17!"
"We don't have to go." Jace reasoned with her. "We don't have to tell Jocelyn and Maryse, and the rest of them.
"I know but Jace in a way I have too." Clary sighed. "I mean they're going to find out eventually right?"
Jace wearily nodded his head. As they neared the institute, butterflies rised in Clary's stomach and she felt sick.
"Come on then lets get this over with." Clary dragged Jace along up the door.
"I..." Jace had barely even started to speak the oath of a shadowhunter when the door was flung open by Magnus Bane?
"Magnus?" Clary blurted out. "What are you doing here?"
"Alec has chosen this moment to come out to his parents." Magnus said. "I'm afraid that if you and Jace have something to say Maryse might have a heart attack but, it's good to get everything out now!"Magnus smiled cheerily and allowed the two of them into the institute.
"Clary!" Jocelyn Morgenstern stared at her daughter her face turning from awe to anger.
"Hey mom?" Clary said weakly raising a hand. Alec Lightwood who looked as if he had been about to say something important looked slightly less confident at the appearance of Jace and clenched his fist.
"Er you go first Alec!"Clary gave him a smile and he shot her an angry look.
"No no you have something important to say, I take it that's why you came?" Alec nudged her.
"Erm yes well how do I put this?" Clary fidgeted in the dead silent room. Suddenly a rapping sound came from the door and Magnus got up from his perch beside Alec yet again to let Isabelle and Simon through.
"We came at the wrong time didn't we!" Isabelle squeaked as she saw everyone sitting in the room.
"You could say that." Luke smiled kindly at Isabelle. Isabelle swerved around to look at him and the girl beside him, Maia.
"What were you doing with her?" Maia got up from beside Luke and went towards Simon.
"I..." Simon stuttered.
"What do you mean what was he doing with me? I'm his girlfriend!" Isabelle shrieked.
Alec looked completely degenerated now.
"Um you guys can you fight later? Me and Jace should only take a moment." Clary finally said.
"Clary what are you talking about?" Jocelyn demanded.
"Clary!" Simon rushed past both the girls that were practically pinning him against the wall.
"You guys Clary, we, have something to say." Jace interrupted Simon running toward Clary.
"Yes um..." Clary paused.
"What is it Clary? Spit it out!" Jocelyn demanded angrily.
"I'm... I'm pregnant." Clary said it almost at a whisper. Everyone stared but the gasp that was let out was from someone totally unexpected.
