The ride to the Basilias seemed to take forever even though it was only a short distance. Clary would wince and cry out every time they hit a bump in the road. Motor travel would have been easier but the wards in Alicante prevented it. They were met by the Silent Brothers at the door of the Basilias and they rushed Clary up to the room they used to deliver babies.

"What's happening?" Jace asked frantically as a Silent Brother pushed him out of the room.

"Jace, the baby's coming." Jocelyn said. "Clary's injuries are too bad for her to deliver it on her own. They're going to take it out."

Jace sank to the floor. "I can't lose her."

"I know...I feel the same way." Jocelyn said as she stared down the long hallway.

"Jace," Alec said. "I didn't want to tell you this until we got into the city, you've been summoned to the Gard. Jia wants to see you, right away."

Jace looked at Alec as if he were crazy. "I can't…Clary…I can't…."

"You have to or they'll come get you." Luke said. "I'll go with you."

Jace rose looking at Jocelyn, "Go honey, if anything happens I'll send word. I promise." She said touching his shoulder.
