Chapter Three:
Clary POV:
I woke up in the most excruciating pain I've ever felt. It felt like my stomach was being stabbed over and over again and all I could think about was my children.
"IZZY! Come quick! I need to go to the hospital! NOW!" I yelled and in record time Izzy was in my room packing a couple things and taking me to her car.
The ride to the hospital seemed like it took forever, but once we got there I was admitted and immediately had tests being run on me for every possible cause. Soon I began to slip into darkness, and I couldn't stop it, all I could think about was Jace and my babies.
Izzy POV:
This cannot be happening. Oh my gosh I hope they are all okay. I can't believe this is happening. I'm pacing the hospital waiting for some kind of news on her when my phone starts ringing, Alec…shit.
"Hey Alec, right now isn't really a good time. Can I call you back later?" I try and sound as normal as possible but I know he isn't buying it.
"Sure, just thought I'd let you know we're on our way back now." And with that he hung up.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. What am I possibly going to tell them when Jace realizes Clary isn't at home? Or when Alec starts asking me questions. I was interrupted by a nurse who proceeded to give me an update on Clary.
"Miss. Lightwood?" I nod and she continues. "There was a lot of bleeding, but nothing the doctors couldn't stop." I sighed in relief but I knew she wasn't finished. "We had to put Clary into a medically induced coma." I could feel my heart drop into my stomach.
"For how long?"
"We'll keep her in it until the babies are full term, and hopefully when they are born we can bring her out of it, but I can't make any promises about that." The nurse walked away and I sunk down onto the floor. The only thing I could think of was Jace. He didn't even know he was going to be a father, and now his wife is in a coma. What am I going to do?
I decide to go back to Clary's house and wait for Jace and Alec to get back. I'm not much use to Clary at the hospital, but I need to tell Jace what's going on. I get to her house and luckily they haven't gotten back yet, but I suspect they will be home any minute.
I sit there anxiously, waiting and waiting until I hear a car pull up. I look out the window and sure enough, it was Alec and Jace. It's now or never.
"Hey Iz. What are you doing here?" Jace asks. I look past him at Alec who has a huge smile on his face, but he quickly realizes something is wrong.
"Jace you need to sit down. Something's come up." I pat the place next to me.
"Where is Clary Izzy?" He is concerned now, and this is what I was afraid of.
"Jace, sit I need to tell you something." He reluctantly sits down and I start the story. "Yesterday Clary called me because she needed to tell me something really important. I got here and we were talking and she stood up and I looked at her and realize she's pregnant." I see his eyes widen. "Obviously I'm super excited so we have a girls night. She went to bed rather early, and after she went to sleep I called Alec to make sure the mission was almost over, and told him." Jace shot a look back at Alec. "This morning I woke up to horrific screams, it was Clary. She was in so much pain, and asked me to take her to the hospital. When we got there she had lost so much blood. The doctors did everything they could but in the end they had to put Clary into a medically induced coma."
"What…?" Is all he could say.
"Clary is in the hospital, in a coma." I needed it to get through to him because he needed to be there.
"And the child?" He looked concerned.
"They are both just fine." I smiled and his eyes widened again.
"Twins?"
"Yea. She's having twins. But Jace, she's only five months pregnant, and they want to keep her in the coma until the babies are full term, but there is a possibility that she won't come out of this coma." I saw the life leave him, he was as pale as a ghost, but I knew that Clary would have wanted me to tell him.
