Clary

I woke up because I felt a soft kiss on my forehead, but there was no one there. Did I imagine it? It felt like real, familiar lips. It's just is part of whatever happened to me last night. "How did this get here?" I looked at the bag that was sitting on the foot of my bed. There was a large some of the money sitting on top of my bag. There were also clothes in my size, which makes me think that it belongs to me. I guess I might as well get dressed and go to school and take care of some things like arranging for a dorm room. I need to get my mind off the fact that I do not remember these past two years. I went and took a shower and got dress so that I can go get some coffee before going to school and getting registered for the new semester and getting a dorm assignment.  Today feels like the first day of my life.

The sun came shining in through my window and was starting to hit my eyes. I reached out to Clary and remembered that she is not here. I got up and jumped in the shower and got dressed and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. I found Izzy, Simon, and Alec eating breakfast. As I walked in they all looked up at me with a sad look. I grabbed some coffee and sat down next to Alex.

"What time did you get in? Izzy was watching to see my body language.

"Actually I got in this morning. I found Clary at the loft as I thought. She was asleep, so I watched her sleep and left before she woke up. I left the bag and money at the foot of the bed where she can see. it. I am planning of going to check up on her and see how she is doing. If I am right, she will be at the Art Academy registering for school and a dorm."

"Jace, listen to me. This is not good for you. You cannot do this to yourself. You need to stay away from Clary until the angels decide to end the punishment."

"How dare you tell me to stay away from Clary. You have Magnus and Izzy and Simon have each other. I am going to see Clary as much as I want to and protect her as long as she is vulnerable. You sound like you are going to give up on her, but I am not."

I saw how Alec reacted to my words. How could they all act as if nothing happened? My Clary is not with me, in my arms, in my bed! I cannot let her go. To hell with the angels because they will never keep me away from her. I walked out of the kitchen and headed out the doors to go to check up on Clary. This went on for several months, my watching her from afar. I would sit in her room and watch her sleep and leave just before she was ready to wake up. One morning, all of a sudden,  Clary ran into the bathroom and started vomiting. What is wrong with her? Did she wake up sick? I wish I could draw the healing iratze to make her feel better. For the next few weeks, this kept happening and I was standing around helpless, just wishing I can do something to help her. Clary was so pale when she came out of the bathroom and she made an appointment to see the doctor today. I am going with her to see what is wrong with her. She arrives at the doctor's office and after filling out paperwork, she waits to be called. I looked around and saw a few pregnant women sitting around the waiting room. I cannot wait to see my Clary with her baby bump. These women looked beautiful and their faces were glowing. She went into the examining room and got into the gown they gave her. I looked away while the doctor examined her and then he asked her to get dress and meet him at his office. She walked into the doctor's office and took a seat. I walked in and stood behind Clary wishing she knew that I was here with her.

"Clary, you do not have the flu. The reason for your symptoms is that you are six weeks pregnant. The morning sickness will go away on its own but I will still prescribe some medicine in case it gets bad. I will also give you some vitamins to take and I will see you in two months for your sonogram. She walked out of the office and as soon as she was outside, she started to cry.  My Clary is pregnant with my baby! This cannot be happening to us. I want to let her know that I am here at her side and would never leave her alone in this. I am going to be a father with the most beautiful girl as the mother! I want to take her in my arms and kiss her for giving me this most beautiful gift. She walked to her loft and sat on the couch, still crying. I sat next to her and softly put my hand on her shoulder. I saw her shudder and looked around as if she can feel me.
