I decided to not make it a oneshot but a few chapters it wont be as long as my other story maybe only ten to 15 chapters maybe even less I don't know but I know I don't want to leave it like that.. This chapter is really short only for the fact that it's gonna time jump to a few months later in the next chapter but I hope you all enjoy.

Jace's Pov

I sighed loudly as I walked into the on call room and dropped on to the bed. Finally some peace and quiet as I closed my eyes my name got called to the ER I got up and went down.

"What room?" I asked and the nurse pointed towards a room and nodded. "Thanks." I picked up the chart five year old fell down some stairs I sigh walked into the room and there was a little girl crying on the bed holding onto a beautiful redhead she looked up at me and she had a bruise under her eye and on her cheek it was swollen, my heart sped up looking at her.

"Uhh I think I have the wrong room." I stammered and tried to back out of the room I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

"Dr. Herondale right?" God that sounded perfect the way she said my name.

"Yes."

"This is my daughter, Emmi." She said and shook the little girl. "It's okay baby." She said and she looked at me, she had a bandage on her forehead and her arms were bruised badly.

"Hi my names Dr. Jace Herondale but you can call me Jace." I said sticking my hand out towards her but she flinched as if I was going to hit her I dropped my hand and looked towards her mother, "Can we talk outside please."

"Uh yeah." She said and stood up the little girl clung on to her mother. "I'll be right back okay baby." She said and Emmi had tears running down her face.

"We can talk right over so we don't have to leave okay?" I asked and Emmi let her mothers hand go. "Would you like us to call the police?"

"Why would I want the police?"

"Domestic Violence is not something to stay silent about." I said and she shook her head.

"It's not like that… She fell down the stairs" She said.

"You don't end up looking like that by falling… And you did you fall to?" I asked maybe a little too harshly and went over to Emmi but she backed away from me. "It's okay sweetie I just need to look at your head and stomach okay?" I asked and she looked at her mother who nodded at her and she laid back.

"Is she going to be okay?" She asked.

"We are gonna keep her overnight to make sure and she's gonna be getting an X-ray on her arm."

"N-no we can't stay overnight I have to be back before-" she stopped and slumped against the wall.

"Before what?"

"N-nothing."

"I know she didn't fall down the stairs."

"I can't do this anymore." She said and dropped to the ground crying.

"Hey, look at me." She said and she looked up her big green eyes my heart started beating faster there was something about her that made me want to protect her. "You don't have to go back to him, you and your daughter deserve so much more."

"We have nowhere to go, if I leave I'll be homeless and he would find us he always does." I want to kill this guy at the thought that he would hurt my girl. My girl? Where did that come from I shake that thought out if my head and look at her. "We have to go home, he went out to a bar because he got mad that she was crying and if he comes home and we are gone.." She stopped crying and looked at the door where Emmi was asleep in the room.

"She should really stay to be monitored over the night."

"Okay." She said putting her head down and started to cry again.

"What's your name?" I asked realizing I never asked her.

"Clary." She said and it sounded like music to my ears any time she talked my heart sped up. "I have to go home."

"Won't he notice? Her not being at home?"

"He doesn't care about her."

"How'd you get here?"

"The bus." She said standing up.

"Why don't you just stay here with her." I said not wanting her to go back to that place.

"If I'm not I'm home when he comes back he will kill me."

"And if you go home and he's already back?"

"What's the earliest we can leave tomorrow?"

"I will find out." I said.

Clary's Pov

Jace had insisted on driving us home it was 7:45 by the time we got home he had to be up by 8 Emmi was sitting in the back of the car when I got out.

"Come on baby."

"I don't want to go mommy."

"Baby come on we have to go." Tears came to her eyes as she looked up at the door and shook her head.

"Can't we go with Jace?" She asked and I looked at him but he wasn't looking at me he kept asking me not to go back but we had nowhere to go if I let here.

"Baby, Jace has a life of his own and he's already done enough for us, now please come on daddy needs to get up for work." I said and she got out of the car slowly.

"Here's my number in case you need anything." Jace said handing me a piece of paper.

"Thank you." I said and picked up Emmi running towards our apartment I went in and his crap was everywhere I put Emmi on the couch and went into the room he was asleep on the bed fully dressed from the night before.

"Conner it's 8." I said but he didn't move. "Conner come on it's time to get up." I said shaking him and he groaned and sat up yawning. Once I seen him up I left the room and laid down with Emmi in my arms.

"How's the kid?" He asked walking to the fridge.

"She's fine." I said holding her close to me.

"Emmi." He said but she didn't move to look at him. "Emmi." He said more sternly I could feel something wet hitting my arm, she was crying.

"Conner please just leave her alone."

"No one was talking to you."

"Emmi come on look at daddy." He said she wrapped her arms around me holding onto me.

"Conner she's afraid of you." I said and he walked towards me.

"Get up." He said.

"Conner-" he grabbed me by the below pulling me up.

"Daddy no." Emmi yelled he pushed me and went to sit by Emmi.

"It's okay Emmi I'm not gonna hurt you, I wanted to say sorry for last night I didn't mean to do that." He said touching her cheek she flinched away from him.

"Why are you so mean?" She asked.

"I'm sorry Em it's just I get so angry sometimes and I just…"

"Just stop being mean to us daddy. Okay?" He looked up at me his eyes soft.

"Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded he held his hand out to me but I stayed where I was. "Come on Clary please come here, please?"

"Emmi go to the room baby while I talk to daddy."

"What room?" She asked.

"Daddy's room." I said and she ran towards the room.

"I'm sorry Clary…"

"Don't do that Conner.."

"Baby please come here." He said and held his hand out to me and I walked to him slowly and he pulled me to him and I closed my eyes. "I'm sorry I just get mad so easily."

"I know.."

"You know I love you right." He said and I looked up at him and nodded.

"I know." I said touching his cheek and looking at his light blue eyes and smiled, my conner the conner I fell in love with years and years ago. "Do you work today?" I asked and he shook his head. "Would you like to go out? Maybe take Emmi to the park or something?" I asked and he nodded

"Yeah we can do that.." He said and kissed my cheek and went into the room.

Emmi's Pov

Mommy said that we were gonna go to the zoo and I was excited because i've never been to the zoo and my daddy even let me sit on his shoulders when we got to the park because I was getting tired from walking so much. My daddy was nice today and he acted like a real daddy and maybe he would always be nice to me and mommy know.

"Daddy look a lion!" I yelled and he walked us over to the lion who was walking around.

"Cool right?"

"Yeah thank you daddy." I said and kissed his head.

"You're welcome Em."

"Maybe tomorrow we can go out just me and you." I said and he leaned down and flipled me over so I was on the ground and then he picked me up and kissed my nose.

"I'd love to have a day with just my little girl." He said and I smiled, I liked him like this.

After the zoo we went to eat and mommy and daddy sat next to each other and no one argued I thought I was dreaming but maybe daddy just felt bad for being mean and hurting me, mommy and daddy even held hands and mommy was smiling today i've missed her smile a lot.

That night we all slept together in daddy's bed I was falling asleep on mommy watching The Good Dinosaur with my legs on top daddy and for the first time in forever I wasn't afraid and I hoped it stayed that way I held BunnyGruff close and closed my eyes and fell asleep.
