Clace Baby

Chapter 9

THREE MONTHS LATER

JACE'S POV

Clary's screams can be heard from Idris. I sat on the floor outside the infirmary. Jonathan was sitting on my laps with his hands over his ears.

I wipe his tears away. "Is Mommy okay?" My two year old asks.

"Yep, she's just fine." I answer a little unhonestly, I have no idea right now.

I hear one last bloodcurdling scream. Then silence. Jocelyn stops her pacing and looks at the door.

I stand up. "Daddy? What's wrong?"

Alec puts a hand on my shoulder. "I'll take him to his room. Just until we know everything's okay." I nod.

Alec picks up Jonathan and walks to the library where Izzy, Simon, Kelly, and Xavier are.

Maryse comes out of the infirmly. Something's not right.

I walk in to see a crying Clary. I run over to her. "Clary, baby, what happened?"

Clary looks up at me with her big, sad, green eyes. "It's my fault Jace."

"What your fault?" I plead.

Clary sobs out another hiccup. "Our baby girl's lungs weren't formed all the way." She sobs so hard into my shoulder.

I feel a few tears roll down my cheeks.

TWO HOURS LATER

Jonathan lays asleep in his bed. Clary stands beside me, hold my hand like its a lifeline. She walks to Jonathan's bed.

She shakes him awake. Jonathan jumps up when he sees his mother.

"Mommy!" His arms go around her. He pulls back confused. "Where the baby?" He asks.

"That's what Mommy and Daddy are here to talk about. The baby came out of Mommy's tummy, but Raziel, the angel we tell you about, needed you sister Ariana, with the other angels."

Jonathan looked at Clary. "No baby?" He asked.

Clary shakes her head, holding back tears. Jonathan's arms went around her. "It's going to be okay Mommy."

That night we all fell asleep holding back tears in out eyes for our lost baby girl, Ariana.
