Sorry, I know I'm late updating! Don't want to keep you, so on with the reading! Thank you :)
Clary and Jace walked to the kitchen together. Clary felt exhausted she had fallen asleep again only to woken again by the same nightmare. She had felt bad for keeping Jace awake too but he had reassured her that he wouldn't have been able to get to sleep anyway with her in that state. When they came to the kitchen everyone was already in there. She went and sat next to her mum who was eating a massive stack of pancakes. "Morning!" She said. Clary was glad to see she was feeling better.
"Morning mom!" Clary replied.
"Clary, Jace eggs? Pancakes? What do you want?" Alec was over by the grill cooking bacon.
Jace answered first. "Ooh I would love some pancakes."
"Pancakes please," said Clary.
Clary ate her pancakes whilst listening to Magnus explain how he got kicked out of a downworlders club once. Everyone was laughing at Magnus's story when all of a sudden Jocelyn dropped her fork next to Clary. Everyone continued listening to Magnus's story.
Clary turned to her mum who now had her hands on her belly and had her eyes shut. "Mom what's wrong? Mom are you alright..the baby"
Her mom straightened up again and relaxed. "It's nothing I'm fine just a bit of cramp. Clary you couldn't get my fork for me could you it's just that...I can't really bend down!" Clary, satisfied that her mom was okay bent down and picked the fork up. But when she came back up from under the table Jocelyn had her hands back on her belly and was breathing heavy.
"Mom!" This time everyone turned round to look at Jocelyn.
Luke's face looked panicked. "Jocelyn, what's happening? Is it time?" He had his hand on her back and was rubbing it.
"No, I'm fine it will pass." She said relaxing again. "See!?"
"Mom, I think we should get you to a doctor just in case.
Jocelyn stood up and walked over to the door. "Will everyone one please stop fussing. I appreciate it, but I'm fine." Just as she said that her waters broke.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" Said Jocelyn.
Everyone stood up and Luke ran to her. "Time to go!" He said pushing her out the door.
"Let me get my keys we can take my car!" Said Clary. She left them in the hallway and ran to her room. She barged through the door and fumbled through the draws next to her bed. Finally she came across the car keys. She ran back to the corridor where everyone was still stood panicking.
"Let's go, let's go!" She said. Luke and Jocelyn followed Clary to her car. The others stayed at the Institute and would come down to the hospital when Clary texted them. They got into the car and Clary stepped on the peddle. They made it there in 15 minutes. When they got there Luke helped Jocelyn out of the car whilst Clary went inside. She reached the front desk where a lady was sat.
"Hi, my mom is just about to come up. She's in labour."
"Okay what's her name?"
"Jocelyn Garroway." Just as she said that Luke and Jocelyn appeared. The lady appeared from behind the desk with a wheelchair and ushered Jocelyn to get in it.
"We have already arranged to have a private room." Said Luke.
"That's fine Mr Garroway. If you would follow me and also I will be needing you to fill out this form." She handed him a clipboard and wheeled the wheelchair down the corridor and into the lift. They got out at floor 3 - the maternity ward. She wheeled them up the corridor, past the waiting room to room 8. Inside was a bed, a table, a tv, a door to a private bathroom, a wardrobe and chairs. The woman helped Jocelyn onto the bed. On the end of it was a hospital gown.
"Your going to need to change into these and when your done with filing in the form if you could bring it to the reception desk just outside here and then a doctor will come and see you. Let the main desk know if you need anything." Then she left the room.
"I will go wait in the waiting room so you can get changed. Come and get me when your done." She left the room and made her way towards the waiting room. She was there for 20 minutes before Luke came to get her.
"What took so long!" Asked Clary.
"Sorry I was going to come and get you but then the doctor came in." They started walking back towards the room.
"How is she? Hows the baby?"
"Everyone's fine." He said. "The doctor said that everything is normal. She is only 2cm dilated."
They got back to the room and where Jocelyn had been sat on the bed in her own clothes when Clary left, now she was in a hospital gown laid in the bed with tubes coming out of her arm.
Clary walked over to her mum. "Hey, how you feeling?"
"Horrible! But the drugs are helping a little bit. The doctors says everything is al-." She was cut off by a contraction.
They had been there for 7 hours when Clary got a text from Jace saying they were all in the waiting room. She left her mom and Luke and went to find them. When she got to the waiting room they were all in there. She went over to Jace.
"Hey!" She said and kissed him.
"Clary what's happening?" Asked Simon.
"Well last time the doctor checked she was at 9cm so it won't be much longer! But she's having a lot of contractions. And the doctor has said that the baby's fine and everything is looking good!" She said.
"Well that's good." Said Maryis.
Just then Luke came running round the corner. "Clary it's time!" She heard Isabelle squeal with excitement just before she turned to run after Luke. When they got to the room Jocelyn was in bed with the doctor and several other nurses around her waiting to take her to the delivery room.
Clary went over to her mum. "Good luck," she said. "I love you" she kissed the top of her mums head and then they wheeled her out. Clary went back to the waiting room where everyone had taken seats. She went and sat down in a chair next to Jace.
"Now what?" Said Isabelle.
"Now we wait!" Said Clary.
