Lady Midnight

Tiny Weenie fingerprints

Emma had never seen the Los Angeles institute so full of people. Loud voices drifted up almost 3 floors up from the living room they were so loud. The faint burble of young voices and the patter of tiny feet running down the halls as Isabel and maybe jace chased after the two 5 year olds. Emma rolled onto her back and winced as the swell of her stomach held her back twisting her spine in a painful way well not only am I pregnant but I've also can't get off my ass without help ugh. Sooner or later she would need to yell at Jules to help her get up off the bed. Always worth the try she thought.
"Emma you in there?" Clary knocked on her door
"Yea I am come in" she smiled at the petite girl. Clary was like a sister to her, an older much shorter sister
"Ah stuck on a bed? I am so glad I'm not pregnant anymore" she smiled at Emma's discomfort
"What about the glowing mother and beauty of childbirth crap?" Emma couldn't help cracking a smile
"Oh yes you're definitely glowing although that might just be the hair" at Emma's scowl she laughed a high musical sound " anyway people are asking about you downstairs and I was bored of Izzy fussing over George like a mother hen" Isabel had given birth four months after clary and the two kids who were now five were very close friends. Isabel had insisted on the name and now their little boy was named (after MONTHS of choosing names) on George Thomas Lightwood-Lovelace and clary daughter Cecilia Isabel herondale. Cece was lucky to have inherited her mothers hair and fathers eyes and she had that look about her that you knew she would be gorgeous when she was older with that fly away hair and freckles sprayed on her everywhere. George was a different story thick brown hair and large brown eyes giving him a permanent puppy dog face which would probably make even a demons resolve crumble. The preschoolers favourite activity seemed to e running away from anyone thinking it was a game until eventually - which could take hours - someone caught them and managed to get them (wrestle them) into bed. Emma was going to miss sleep once she had this kid. She wished she knew the gender but she and Jules had decided not to go to the hospital in case of any shadowhunter or downworlder who could report them to the clave. If they got found out not only would they be destroyed but the blackthorns would suffer and they would find Mark and he would suffer as Helen had. So the baby was an "it" for the time being and they had been tossing up boys
and girl names.
"Here we are" clary opened the door revealing Most of the New York institutes inhabitance with Magnus, Alec and Max on vacation in Peru.
"Hey em" Julian smiled from where he was sitting on the floor. That one sided, eye sparkling smile that made her heart melt and insides smoosh together
"Emmaaa!" Goerge giggled as he ran from his uncle. Jace was running after the little boy holding a vegetable trying to get the younger boy to eat it.
Then cece popped out from behind a couch making Isabel who was sitting there jump "Eme tell them we don't like it" her sulky voice was punctuated by a little stomp of her booted foot
"Yea we don't like it! It's....its..." George seemed stumped with something to say to capture how disgusting the prospect of eating the green thing was "it's so...."
"GREEN" cece finished for him looking way too proud of herself. Yep, that was jaces kid.
"AHA" Simon exclaimed managing to nab George mid run and scoop him up into his arms and tickling his son silly
"Si!" Isabel sounded annoyed " come on youll get him excited and then we'll never get him to bed!"
"Oh Emma's here! hey em" jace smiled only now noticing she was In the room. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw cece giving ty one of her teddys and ty, being ty immediately threw the stuffed animal in the little girls face causing her to cry then, run as hold onto her mothers leg.
"Hey jace" she smiled at the rest of them exchanging greetings
"Emm" she heard the half groan half whisper so close she jumped. Julian had snuck up behind her
"Angel Jules don't do that!" She slapped his arm
"Come on I wanna talk to you" he pulled her out into the hall his hand is hers, his hand so much larger than hers.
~0~
As soon as they were out in the hall he backed her against the wall and kissed her. Things had become slightly with her large stomach and all that but she didn't mind and Julian had managed to fit around her abdomen. His lips were soft and tender and oh . His hands moved off her hips and cupped her stomach.
"Hey baby" he had the biggest smile as he knelt so he was at face height with her belly button. "You don't know me yet but I love you more than anything" he closed his eyes and nuzzles her belly peppering it with light kisses "and I will never let anything or anyone hurt you" he hugged her pressing himself against her abdomen "ouch!" She opened her eyes at his outburst not even realising she had closed them. "The baby kicked me!"
" aww taking after its mom then"
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?" He stood arms around her waist and pressed her against him tightly his face nuzzling into her loose ponytail. And that moment was perfect. She wanted to bottle it up and store it on a shelf forever. But their bottle moment was shattered as she screamed as something ripped inside her and pain was all she could see.
