Shadowhunters Imagines & Preferences

Alec ~ Options

"Shit" you snap at yourself, glaring at the positive sign, "Shit, shit, shit!"

You drop the violating pregnancy test into the bin, pacing around the bathroom and wringing your hands together, thinking about what exactly you were going to do

You were pregnant. 3 weeks the test said. You were 3 weeks pregnant. And you had just turned 18. Just.

"Shit" you whisper to the floor, leaving against the sink as you cover your face with your hands, "Shit"

"What's wrong?" a voice asks and your head snaps up quickly. It's Izzy.

"N-nothing" you stutter, slowly sliding over to hide the trash can, and it's contents, from her

"It's clearly not nothing, Y/N" Izzy sighs, "You know you can talk to me, right? About anything. Not only are you my best friend, but you're my brothers girlfriend which practically makes us sisters, so trust me"

"Izzy" you whisper, your eyes tearing up, "I made a massive mistake"

"Oh no" she murmurs, crossing over to you and wrapping you in her arms, "What's wrong?"

"I-I'm pregnant" you confess

You feel Izzy stiffen and she steps back from you, her eyes wide with surprise...before she bursts into a massive grin

"I'm going to be an aunt!" she squeals, taking your hands and jumping up and down

"Izzy!" you scold her, pulling her hands down to make her stop, "Shh! I haven't...I haven't told..."

"You haven't told my brother?" Izzy asks and you nod your head, "You need to tell him, Y/N"

"I can't!" you panic, "He'll be so angry..."

"Y/N" Izzy hums, "No, he won't, he'll be happy. Y/N this is a good thing!"

"No, Izzy, it's not!" you protest, "Not when you're only 18!"

"Hm...I guess you have a point" she nods, "But it still doesn't change the fact that you have to tell him. You have to...figure out your options and choose the one you're going to go with, but it needs to be with Alec, not behind his back"

You nod. You know she's right, you'd known since the sign became a plus on that pregnancy test that you were going to have to tell him.

Now you just had to actually do it

You crept up to Alec's bedroom door. It was slightly ajar already, so you leaned forward and peered in. There he was, sitting on his bed with a sprawl of papers all around him which you could only assume Maryse had given to him to work on. He was to be the head of the Institute, how could you ruin that with your news? 

You stepped back, hesitating. Maybe you didn't have to tell him? Maybe you could just...get it sorted and he would never know? 

You shake your head, dismissing the idea quickly. He...she...it was his baby too. You didn't have the right to take the choice from him nor keep the knowledge that he is a father from him...it just isn't right.

You brace yourself before stepping back to the door and peering in again. He was frowning in concentration at one of the clauses of a contract he was reading. He was beautiful, and perfect and yours. You soaked up the moment for a little more before inhaling slowly and stepping into the room

"How's my hard worker?" you ask, entering the room. Alec starts, looking up at you, shocked by your sudden entrance

"Oh, tired, stressed, the usual" he smiles, walking over to you and kissing you on the forehead. You grimace at his answer.
