2 months later

I am 5 months pregnant and I have a noticeable bump now. It has been 2 months since I talked to my mom. I was so mad at her - still am - but I think I should talk to her today. Everyone at the institute has been helping me - even Magnus. Jace does everything for me - even opening the door for me. I keep telling him that I am capable of doing things but he ignores me and continues doing them for me. We decided not to find out the sex of the baby because we want to be surprised well, I did, Jace wanted to know but I convinced him not to. We have been brainstorming names for about a week now. My top names for a girl are: Stephanie Adele Herondale, Maggie Jocelyn Herdondale, and Isabelle Fray Herondale. My top names for a boy are: Owen Jace Herondale, Josh Christopher Herondale, and Luke Alexander Herondale.

I get up and see that Jace isn't in bed. I am not worried because he is probably in the weapons room training. I get dressed and head downstairs to get something to eat. I walk into the kitchen and see that only Izzy is in there. "Hey Clary" she says.

"Hey Izzy" I say. "How are you?"

""I'm fine. How are you?" she says.

"Fine. Hungry though" I say

"Help yourself. I am leaving to go meet Simon" she says. "Bye"

"Bye. Have fun" I say.

I grab some toast and juice and sit down and eat. When I am done, I go upstairs to see if Jace went back upstairs, he didn't. He must still be in the weapons room. I walk to the weapons room and see Jace and Alec fighting. They both see me and stop. "Hey Clary" they both say.

"Hey guys" I say. Jace comes up and gives me a hug and a kiss. "I just came to tell you that I am going to go talk to my mom."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Jace asks.

"No but thank you. I think I should do this alone" I say.

"Okay. Good luck" he says

"Thanks" I say. "I love you"

"I love you too" he sys giving me a kiss before I leave.

As I walk to the door, I start getting nervous. When I told her that I was pregnant, instead of hiding her anger and asking how I was, she yelled at me. I stand outside the door for a minute before I knock because I know once I do, theres no going back. I knock and my mom opens the door. "Cl-Clary" she's says in a shocked and surprised voice. She ttys to give me a hug but a back away. "Mom, I need to talk to you."

I walk in and say hi to Luke and give him a hug. We sit on the couch. "When I told you that I was pregnant, I was so nervous and scared. I was expecting you to be nice and offer to help me. Yes, I would expect you to be mad but not screaming at me in the restaurant. You hurt me mom. I was already scared but after you yelled at me, I was terrified. I wanted my mom to hold me and tell me that everything was going to be okay." I say starting to cry. "What happen to the mom I knew that would never yell at me like that?"

"I'm sorry Clary. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I wasn't thinking straight. You are only 16 and got pregnant. I was mad but I shouldn't have yelled. I should have been more of a mom to you, I know that now. Will you ever forgive me?" she says.

"Yes" I say with tears coming down my face going to give her a hug.

"Thank you" she says. "I have so many questions for you. How far along are you? Do you know what the sex is? Have you chosen any names?"

"I am 5 months along. No, we want it to be a surprise, well, i do, Jace doesn't but I convinced him not to find out. My top picks for a girl are: Stephanie Adele Herondale, Maggie Jocelyn Herondale, and Isabelle Fray Herondale. My top picks for a boy are: Owen Jace Herondale, Josh Christopher Herondale, and Luke Alexander Herondale."

"Those are such pretty names sweetie" she says.

"Thanks but I don't know which one is my favourite" I say.

"Luke Alexander Herondale is my favourite" Luke says.

"Thanks. I knew you would like that one" I say.

We all talk for what seems like hours. I tell them how everyone at the institute has been helping me out with everything. "I'm glad that you are alright. I'm sorry again. I should have been there to help you" she says.

"That's okay mom. It is my fault for not talking to you" I say.

"That's okay. You were mad at me and it didn't help you that you have so many hormones in you" she says. "How are you with the hormones?"

"I am everywhere. Somedays I am a monster and others I am an angel. I don't know who I will be when I wake up so everyone is always cautious around me until they know which one I am. The first time I was the monster, they were all so scared of me that they started to call me the monster." I say

"I got that too when I was pregnant with you and your brother. I had so many mood swings" she says.

"She was crazy and unbearable at times" Luke says.

"I was not!" she says.

"Yes you were" Luke says.

I missed this. I am glad that I talked to her, I should have done it sooner. We keep talking for another hour. *beep* I get a text from Jace
Jace: Hey Love, meet me for dinner @ central park @ 4
Me: Okay. What for?
Jace: It's a surprise. Wear something nice;) <3
Me: <3

I check the time and see that it is 3 p.m. "Sorry, I just checked the time and it is 3, I have to get going" I say

"Oh Okay" she says.

"I enjoyed this" I say giving her and Luke a hug.

"Me too" she says. "Bye sweetie"

"Bye Clary" Luke says.

"Bye guys. Love you" I say and head out.
