Title: Potential Addition
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: #1, Feelings and Emotions
Words: 249
Summary: Clary has some news for Mattes.
Notes: This is half the same as the drabble 'Change' I posted in the Indoor Courts. The first half of both of them is the same, and then I couldn't decide on the ending so I wrote them both.
WARNING: Contains minor Bloodhound spoilers.
“I’m going to miss you.”
“You’ll see me every watch.”
“I know.” Mattes tightened his grip on Clary’s hand. “I’m still going to miss you, though. It’s the end of an era.”
Clary nodded, her throat tight. “I’ll miss you too,” she whispered. “It’s not because of you that I’m…”
“I know.” He grinned at her. “No matter what you’ve threatened in the past, you love me.”
Clary gave him a small crooked smile. “I just feel like it’s time.”
“It’s more than fair enough, when you look at the years you’ve been on the streets. People change.”
Clary nodded, relieved. “That might not be the only thing changing.” Mattes raised an eyebrow, and she swallowed hard. “I’m getting old, Mattes, and maybe it’s making me go soft, but…I want a baby. Before it’s too late.”
His eyes widened, and he touched her stomach gently. “How long…?”
Clary shook her head. “I’m not pregnant yet.”
“Well, you know what it involves.” Clary grinned, and he winked. “If you exhaust Tom, I’d be happy to help out.”
She cuffed him around the head. “I don’t want a little barbarian.”
“You know I’ll teach it my barbaric ways anyway.”
“I’ll ban you from seeing it.”
He pouted. “But I was just starting to get all excited about having a little Goodwin. Can it call me Uncle Mattes?”
“You’re a ducknob. So…you don’t mind about…”
“Of course not.” He grinned and gave her a shove. “Go find Tom and make a baby.”

And I love the change from solemnity to good humour. It seems so characteristic of their relationship.

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
