Squinting her eyes at the light above Clary wondered why the room was so bright. Turning her head to the side she could see through the window that it was dark, but this place didn't resemble anything like her home.
Then she smelled that disinfectant peculiar smell that you found in hospitals making her want to gag her lunch out, if she even had any she couldn't remember. Moving her hand to touch her hair she realised something was pulling at her arm too. "What the actual F_" she was about to say. So her suspicions where correct she was in the hospital for god knows what reason.
"Fray, you're awake" she heard her friend simon next to her. "Si whats going on I .. I don't understand, why am i strapped in a hospital bed" she whispered looking around. "Well you had a black out in target" he tells her "lucky i was there and you kinda have been out since then" he explained tiredly. "Oh" was she said back. Clary could always count on Simon he was the only real friend she had made around since her family had moved back to their home country where she had refused to go back, she rather stayed in New York to finish Uni and "experience life" as she put it.
"When can I leave" she hurriedly asked her friend trying to pull at her IV cord. "hey Clary you're fine, calm it you need to rest and as for I will be back tomorrow though" her friend announced as he prepared to leave her for the night. "You didn't tell my mum did you" she asked reaching for his hand as he was standing. "Of course not, i don't think i would like my one and only friend to be deported home would I now?" . After he left she soon found herself feeling tired and going back to sleep.
Clary was dressed in fresh clothes that simon had brought to her before he went to work, she had finished filling out some forms that would release her from the confirmatory of the hospital.
The nurse found Clary sitting by her bed dangling her small feet and looking down "how you feeling hon" the nurse questioned at clary in her southern accent. "Hi, can i leave now" looking up Clary asked sounding hopeful and even smiling. "Not yet hon, i just need you to pop in my office for a minut' some thangs we ought to discuss" making a gesture for clary to follow her.
'Why are we going to the baby ward' clary wondered to herself as she followed behind, was this lady trying to set her up or something she continued in her head as she sat in her office. "Now now darlin doya now why i brought you 'ere for". But clary just stared at the lady "maybe you want to offer more information about why i am here or maybe you need help to clean some babies" she whispered in doubt. "No silly, you need to start takin' good care forya self, you ought to keep your fluids up and eat regularly its not just you anymore" she laughed tapping at her desk dramatically. Realising Clary had not catch on she came out clean.
" Congratulations darl, your expecting thats why you probably fainted yersteday at the shops your body was stressed out thats all" she announced. Smiling and laughing back at the lady "No, no you must have gotten it wrong, i fainted because i was probably exhausted from all the finals you know student life, its probably a mis_" she confidently told the nurse. " A mistake no, no, darlin' mistakes a very minimal in 'ere, your really expecting, how exciting eh" she finished hushing clary with a smile.
'Pregnant' clary screamed in her head, Pregnant was this lady crazy, 'i knew she was crazy the moment she lead me through this ward' she scowled. "Are you CRAZYY" clary asked her dryly "thats not a funny joke lady". "I never joke darlin', this ain't no place to joke around" she said seriously. "Your about two months and half along" she kept talking but Clary could not focus she was pregnant 'i am pregnant' 'how, why' " it's that fragile period hon you really gotta keep your fluids and eat healthy, best to keep away from that alcohol and crazy student parties." she continued. 'I don't even party or drink' she thought to herself.
'But how in the world' she asked herself. 'WTF, Clarissa' 'its called the bees and the birds' her conscious slyly reminded her.
Without realising it she had stained her cheeks with her own tears. "Oh darlin, don't cry, hush child" the nurse soothed clary in her customer voice. " Your a beautiful, young girl surely your Hus..hBoyfriend will be ecstatic" she talked pointedly looking at clary's 4th digit on her left hand.
Clary wasn't listening anymore she just looked ahead, no one but her understood what her tears meant, how much trouble she had signed herself up for and this lady in front of her had no clue there was nothing to be ecstatic about because she absolutely had no idea where the father of this baby could be, it was a silly mistake when she had let her guard down. what even was his name again John? Jonah? JON? JONATHAN OR JACE? shit.
