ALEC'S POV

"I can't believe their having a baby."
"Well Alec, that's what married people do. The get it on. Then they have a baby. Then I come and bedazzle the young grasshopper." Magnus replies. "Maybe we could have our own baby?"
"Magnus. 1) We're not married. 2) We're both male if you haven't notice and cannot have children." I roll my eyes. I can't even see myself as a father. And even if I was, I don't think I could Magnus' glitter away from the poor child.
"Well, will you think about it? Maybe we could get married, too." Magnus cat eye look into my own. Was he proposing? To me?
"Are you proposing to me?" I ask with one eyebrow up.
"Heavens no!" Magnus says. I feel my face fall. I look down at the ground. Magnus forces my face up. "I'm telling you to propose to me."
My jaw drops.
"Close you mouth honey you'll catch flys."

CLARY'S POV

"I can't believe my baby's having a baby!" My mother sit on the couch and cry Luke and Jace are outside talking.
"Oh, mom, it's okay." Mom is hugging me and crying into my shoulder. I'm smoothing her hair like she did to me when I was a child. Maybe I'll do that with my child.
"I just don't want you to grow up anymore!" Mom hiccups into my shoulder.
I look out the window to see Luke smiling and patting Jace on the shoulder.
I see I few droplets of rain hit the window. Jace and Luke look up at the gray sky. They start coming back in. Luke comes in first to see my mother sobbing on my shoulder.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Luke asks rubbing Moms back.
"I don't want Clary to grow up!" Mom sobs harder into my shoulder.
"Jocelyn, is there anything I can get you?" Tea? Hot Chocolate? Milk?" Jace asks my mother.
At the sound of Jace's voice my mother's head flys up and she's wiping tears away. "I'm sorry. I'm happy for you both. Really." Mom hugs me then she hugs Jace.
Luke hugs me and pats Jace on the back. "Can't be prouder of my little girl."

TIME LAPSE: FIVE MONTHS LATER

Magnus was pretty upset to find out Maryse was my midwife. So I told him he could do our check ups. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. Jace and I haven't left the infirmary with out glitter in our hair.
Today though, we're find out the gender of the baby. Boy or girl. We've picked out names for both. For a boy: Jonathan Maxwell Herondale. Named after both of a brothers. For a girl: Taylor Lucy Herondale.
Jace rubs my pregnant tummy.
Magnus comes in wearing a blue sparkly button down shirt. "Hello Clary, Jace."
"Hi Magnus!" I say as I lift my shirt so you can see my tummy. Magnus puts his hand on my tummy. His eyes look up for a second.
"It's a boy!" Magnus yells.
