The Baby

Chapter 7

I woke up to lights shining in my eyes. I automatically flinched away. I heard people go phew and i heard murmurs of 'ok she's stable'. What happened? Were am i?

"Clary look at me. Are you ok? How do you feel?" I looked over to see Jace sitting beside me in a metal chair while i was lying on a bed.

"I'm okay. What happened? Where am i?" I asked him.

"You fainted in the bathroom. I tried to use a strenghtening rune on you but you wouldn't wake up. The Iratze didn't work. You're in a mundane hospital. We called an ambulance." Jace explained. So I fainted and runes didn't work?

"Do the doctors know what's wrong with me?" I asked him.

"Yes they know. It was because of the baby you lost. But... I have a surprise for you."

"What? What's the surprise?" I asked him quickly.

"The surprise is...you only lost 1 baby. It was supposed to be twins but 1 didn't survive. But you are still pregnant with 1 baby. We're still going to be parents." He said and then smiled. I smiled back at him. I am so happy right now, we're going to have a baby. But then I realized since they called an ambulance our parents must know. That was what made me frown.

"Do our parents know then?" I asked terrified by the thought.

"Yes they know. Jocelyn was about to kill me but Luke interfered and made her calm down. Pretty much all our friends know."

"When can i come out of the hospital? I don't like it here Jace." I moaned. He kissed me on the forehead and squeezed my hand.

"The doctors say that you can still come out of the hospital today. Only in the evening." He smiled at me. And i returned his smile. Then somebody cleared their throat and I looked over to the door. It was Jocelyn.

"Hi mum" i said sheepishly. I was prepared for her to start shouting at me.

"Clarissa Fray you are pregnant, may you explain to me why?" I gulped and started blushing.

"Err...uhhh...I..I...uhhhh...you know how babies are made. I dont think i need to explain." I said going a dark red.

"Ok. And would i be right that Jace is the Father?" She asked me. Oh By the Angel this is embarassing.

"Uhm. Yeah?"

"Clary you are not going to be living at the Institute anymore. Once you come out of the hospital you are going to be living with me and Luke." Noooo she can't do this to me.

"No mum. I am staying with Jace at the Institute. You can't make me come home you know." I whined. She can't take me away from Jace.

"Okay. But...Jace you have to keep an eye out for her. Do not let her train too intensively." Jace nodded at this.

"Don't worry Jocelyn. I'll keep a good eye on her." He answered.
