A Love That Bites Book 3 (A Mortal Instruments fan fic/sizzy)

Month Two

    Month two

     It was the second month of Isabelle's pregnancy and I could just start to see a little baby bump. Alec and Magnus were coming home today and I had the perfect idea so Isabelle and I wouldn't be around when they got back. Isabelle was on the couch talking to Clary; when Izzy saw me she noticeably brightened up.

      "Morning babe." Izzy greeted.

      "Hey Si." Clary smiled.

      "Good morning ladies." I said and sat next to Isabelle and I put my arm around her.  "Where's Jace?" I asked.

      "Still asleep." Clary said and got up to wake him. Once she went upstairs I turned Izzy to face me and I kissed her gently. She put her arms around my neck and murmured 'I love you' against my lips. I pulled away after a few more seconds.

       "Do you want to go to the beach today?" I asked.

       "Of course! Which one?"

       "Orchard Beach." I said, I had been there with Clary a few times. It was really big and not a lot of people went there.

       "Yeah, I have never been there. I'll go glamor my runes." She said and went upstairs. I went into the kitchen and made myself some coffee, the one thing I knew vampires could drink other than blood and champagne. Jocelyn and Luke were sitting at the counter and Mayrse was on the phone with someone who she found very irritating. The look on her face said it all. She turned to face me and motioned to me to come over to her. I hesitantly walked over to her,

      "Here he is." she said and handed the phone.

I took it slowly, "Hello?"

      "Ah, daylighter. We need to talk." Said the sickeningly familiar Hispanic drawl on the other end.

     "Raphael." I said in a emotionless, monotone voice. Luke and Jocelyn raised their heads and stared at me. "Right now is not the best time." I said coolly.

     "When a very highly ranked vampire calls you, you can't ignore it," he said calmly.

     "What do you want?" I hissed, losing my patience.

     "You broke a law..." He said. I started pacing back and forth and I clenched my fist angrily.

     "What law?" I hissed my fangs slid out. All eyes were on me, Maryse paused in the midst of washing dishes to stare at me.

     "You married a Nephilim, that is punishable by death... and I mean both of you will be punished." he said.

     "If you touch Isabelle, I swear I will hunt you down and make sure you suffer the most agonizing, torturous, slow death imaginable." I snarled. Maryse dropped the dish she was washing into the soapy water in the sink.

     "Well someone's protective of his mate." he said amusedly.

     "Your damn right." I snarled again, not finding any humor in the conversation.

     "Consider this a warning daylighter." he said. "Gossip travels fast in the downworld."

     "I know you value your 'life' too much to actually follow through. But I can and will follow through with my threat." I snapped and hung up. I breathed heavily and put Maryse's phone on the counter. Izzy came into the kitchen then stopped,

     "Are you ok? You look like you are going to murder anyone who comes near you." she asked with a severely concerned expression.

     "Yeah what happened? You are red in the face and your eyes are almost all black..." Luke said.

     "Raphael." I hissed through clenched teeth. I tried to focus but the red that dotted my vision made it hard. Maryse was still staring at me in shock.

     "I know that but what happened." Maryse demanded.

     "Apparently marrying a Nephilim is illegal in the vampire rule book. And it is punishable by death, but I am pretty sure that I have made it clear that if he even thinks about touching Izzy, I will kill him." I said and leaned back on the counter. Maryse opened her mouth to speak but I stopped her.

     "It is punishable by death to the couple. Not to just one." I answered the Maryse's about to be asked question.

     "It's amazing how much one can miss when he's asleep." Jace said and leaned in the door way next to Isabelle who was frozen.

     "That's it we are living in Idris for the rest of my pregnancy! I am not going to deal with Raphael right now." Izzy said and left the kitchen.

     "We?" Clary echoed.

     "I think she meant her and I." I said. "I don't know... but I'll go find out." I added and went up to our room. The door was slightly open and I could hear Isabelle murmuring. I knocked quietly and walked in. Her left hand was wrapped protectively around her stomach and her right hand was placed on her left. I was certain she was talking to our baby.

     "Are you ok?" I asked and put my arm around her.

     "Yeah, I'm fine. Do you still want to go to the beach? I think we should take some time to calm down and relax." she said and leaned on me.

     "Only if you want to. And about Idris...." I said and nuzzled her neck causing her to giggle.

     "You and I are going to raise the baby in Idris. No questions about it and that's final." Izzy said seriously.

     "What ever makes you happy. I wasn't going to object any way." I said.

     "Good. And yes I do want to go to the beach." she said and kissed my cheek.

     "Ok get your stuff on." I grinned. She pecked my lips and went into the bathroom to change. I got changed into my swim trunks quickly and I collapsed on the bed with a tired sigh even though it was one thirty in the afternoon. Izzy came out of the bathroom in a sexy bright purple bikini. I whistled,   

    "You look amazing in purple."

    "You're so sweet." she blushed and snuggled up against me on the bed. I sighed and put my arm around her and rubbed her warm back.

     "How long do you want to stay there?" I asked.

     "An hour maybe two." She said.

     "Lets take a extra change of clothes so we can go to Taki's for lunch." I suggested. She nodded, got up and threw some towels and a change of clothes for both of us into a beach bag.

     "How worried about Raphael are you?" She asked, she was leaned over the beach bag and her long black hair was hanging down.

     "I'm not very worried. He wouldn't try to kill us unless he was really really stupid. And I know he isn't." I said reassuringly. She sighed,

     "I'm not really worried about myself, I am just worried about you and the baby."

     "The baby is understandable. But why are you worried about me?" I asked.

     "One, I love you. Two, you're a very powerful vampire and Raphael wants you dead so he doesn't feel threatened. And Three, you are in league with shadowhunters and you live in the institute. Other vampires want you dead for that." She explained and stood up.

     "Aw sweetie, you don't have to worry about me." I said and walked over to her and held her gently.

     "I just don't want to lose you." She sighed and leaned into my chest. I rubbed her shoulder,

     "Don't worry you won't." I swore, and that was a promise I was ready to keep.
