The City of Lost Hope

Chapter 7

Clary

I was getting fatter. I hated it.

Probably because I didn't know why I was getting fat. I was currently in the bathroom doing my usual morning retching with Sebastian standing behind me, holding my hair.

"You can get out now. I want to take a shower," I tell Sebastian. He leaves quietly and I proceed to take my shower.

When I get out, I notice the little cabinet thing partially open. It usually remained locked, so I open it wider and see something I wasn't expecting; Pregnancy tests.

My eyes widen and I bring my hand up to cover my mouth. I had all the signs of being pregnant... God, I'm such an idiot!

I quickly grab a test and do what the instructions tell me.

Don't be pregnant, don't be pregnant, don't be pregnant...

I look at the test when the timer beeps.

Oh sh*t.

When did I have freaking s*x? OH MY GOD! Was I raped?

"Se-" I begin to shout but stop myself. He can't know; he was probably the one who bloody did it! Jesus! How do I manage to get myself into such things?

(No offense to anybody religious!)

Jace

I sit in front of Jocelyn and Luke. We haven't seen Clary since the day she became Queen of this hellhole. We've gotten closer and it's hard to not think about what it would've been like if they were my parents. 

What about if I was married to Clary? What about children?

At this I turn to Luke and Jocelyn. "Hey, I'm going to head to my room." I walk away and when I get to my room I start crying. Nobody has seen me really cry and I know that I don't want them too. I'd much rather have them see me as a cold, heartless murderer instead of a vulnerable, hot mess.

"Hey Jace?" Alec calls from the door.

"What?" I croak. I'm not in the mood to do this right now.

"Hey, you okay? Can I come?" Alec asks concerned. Of course he would want to come in.

"I'm fine. Just trying to get some sleep. Is there something important that you wanted to talk to me about?" I ask impatiently.

"Sebastian came."

Those two words and I know that something terrible is going to happen.

I bolt to the door and throw it open, not caring about the dried tears on my face. "What did the b*stard say?"

"H-he said th-that Clary--" Alec stutters out.

"Clary what?" I bellow angrily.

"S-sh-she's p-pregnant," Alec stutters. He immediately backs away down the hall.

I yell rather loudly. I'm sure everyone has heard it by now.

"Sebastian! You are going to die by my hand! That is a promise I will keep to my last breath!"

Sebastian

I looked at the pathetic being in front of me. "That's all the news you have for me?"

"Sebastian, I am trying but the Council is less trusting than you, especially to outsiders," my inside person says. 

"Did you give that Lightwood my offer? What did it say?" I question. My source cowers backward. Pathetic.

"They said they would think about it and get back to me in a couple days," my resource stutters out.

I watch the demon squirm a bit more before I let it go. 

I walk back to Clary and I's bedroom. I see her sitting on the bed staring at something. I walk up to her and snatch whatever she was staring at from her. She looks up stunned but her expression is quickly replaced with worry and anxiety.

"Give it back Sebastian. I'm not in the mood," she states angrily.

I smirk and look at whatever she was holding.

'Positive,' the little stick reads. So she finally found out she was pregnant.

I look at her then place the stick aside. I slowly stalk towards her and push her up against the wall.

"Stop it Sebastian. I'm really not in the mood," she says, a warning clear in her voice.

I ignore it and smash my lips to hers. Soon enough we're taken to that night again, only this time she's completely sober.
