" Clary?" The girl asked.

" You must be Jessica."

It's super important that you read this ALOT will be cleared up because I realized just how much this a-lot of this doesn't make sense.

Sophie is 5 years old.

Alec and Isabelle are related, Jace isn't

Hodge's Daughters name is Mackenzie not Emily, Emily is Hodge's wife's name

Clary lives in New York, where all the Angels are.

Clary POV

" Hello." Is all Jessica says before she starts chewing on her nails. Sophie is in the other room.

" I've seen you on magazine's and at the store, you're a model." She begins but I cut her off.

" Why?"

" Why what?" Her hazel eyes snap up to me, and she begins to chew on her blonde hair.

" Why leave your daughter on the streets." At what I say her eyes begin to glass over, when she begins to open her mouth her tears break out and she lets out a sob before starting.

" I'm only 19." She takes a deep breath. " When I was thirteen I got involved with a ton of bad people and things. My parents loved me, I loved my life. We had money." She looks up at my eyes " It was all image, everything to them, my parents were in it for an image."

Raking a hand through her hair she seemed to be having a hard time.

" They didn't love me." She looks down to her clasped hands, that were resting on the table. " When it came to the little things I could tell, because those were really the things that meant the most. They'd never tuck me in at night, ask how my day was at school, I'd always be the kid that was at school performances with out my parents in the crowd.

Anyways when I was thirteen I got into bad things and older people. One of these juniors in high school that was in the group of people that me and my friends would hang out with was throwing a party and he invited me. He had sex with me that night, and a week later I found out I was pregnant. It was a cheap dollar tree pregnancy test, but I knew I was pregnant.

When I told my parents they didn't say much. I told the boy and he denied ever being with me, my father didn't want to make it a legal fight so he and my mom talked. And after calling me many hurtful words they told me that we would just abort the baby and everything would be ok.

I didn't want to, so I asked if I could at least put it up for adoption and they compromised with me to that. I thought that when they saw the baby they'd just let me keep it.

The moment the nurses gave her to me, the first time I held her I knew I was in love with her and I wouldn't let her go. My parents saw me crying cause of how beautiful she was and told me to quit it because she would be gone in a matter of hours.

I told them that I'd made up my mind and that I was keeping her. My mother told me that was fine, but I wasn't their child anymore and that they were throwing me out. I said fine.

With no money, no food, and a newborn baby I was left by myself on the streets of Venice. I stayed on the beach the first night, and when she started crying and wouldn't stop I knew I couldn't do this, I couldn't be a parent, I wasn't ready to be one. I was only fifteen! What in the hell was I fucking thinking?"

She broke into tears then, collapsing onto the table.

" Jessica." I sighed " Their were so many things you could've done, but you left her at a hotel. She's only five! Sophie needs people to tell her it's all gonna be alright at the end of the day!"

" You don't understand!" She whispered " I can't fucking do that for her, I can't be a parent, I can't. I just damn can't. I love Sophie more than anything but I can't provide for her I can't-"

" SOPHIE'S FUCKING DYING!" I screamed. She stopped to look at me for a moment, it was the look my mom got when I told her I had to get my appendix taken out ( 1 ), the look I could feel on my face when the doctor's told me Sophie had cancer's. One of the many looks of love, just the one when you get your heart ripped out...

" From what?" Jessica began to do that guilty look-everywhere-but-my-face thing.

" Two types of cancer." Jessica began to tear up.

" It doesn't run in the family!" She made a face, about to cry. She knew exactly why Sophie had cancer. Then it dawned on me.

" No, no. Hell no! You have some type of heart! Don't you?" She began to weep, she had no right to be crying.

" ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

" I didn't know what else to do! She was always hungry!"

" SO YOU FED YOUR DAUGHTER DRUGS? WHAT BREED OF IDIOT ARE YOU?"

" Sometimes it was just to get her to sleep so I didn't have to worry about feeding her for a few hours or so!"

" Jessica." I sighed " You can rot in a damn jail sell for all I care, There's a special place in hell for people like you!"

" Can I at least see Sophie, one more time." It was her daughter...

" Fine" I went back to the little waiting room and was surprised to see Sophie just sitting there. I had given her my phone to play with but she just sat there Indian style on a chair waiting for me with her head in her hands.

" Your mommy wants to see you." She simply nodded her head, got up, and grabbed my hand. She looked drowsy and like her face was drooping. Not good. We got cleared for Sophie to go in we got escorted back to the room where Jessica sat.

" Mommy?" Sophie asked rubbing her face.

" Soph! Gosh you look so nice, come sweetheart." Jessica was tearing up again. Just seeing Sophie run to her mother made me tear up. It also made me kind of sad. I would never really have that with Sophie.

" Listen Sophie, I will always love you. I have forever loved you, but mommy has to go for a little while now, okay? So say goodbye to me for now." Tears fell from my eyes as Sophie began to cry aswell, but Sophie was smart she must have understood that she wasn't gonna see her mom for a while.

" I love you to mommy, I'll miss you." Sophie cried. The police officer that stood in the corner of the room smiled before taking off his hat and walking over to Sophie, politely tapping her on the shoulder and taking her hand.

" You ready?" I asked Sophie wiping a couple of tear's before thanking god that she wore waterproof makeup. Sophie nodded. When Clary and Sophie got back to the hotel, Sophie wandered off onto the balcony and Clary began to text Jace.

I felt a bit better after our little texting session and went outside to see Sophie sitting on the one of the long couches. And sat behind her gently pulling on her shoulder's so that she lay on me. Sophie smiled and took my hand.

" Sophie you know I love you right?" She looked up and smiled

" Yes, and I love you to. And Jacey." I laughed.

" Were gonna go to his house soon, you want to ?" She smiled ad nodded. Then looked back out at the city. I kissed her head and rested mine atop hers. We sa together, her in my lap, in silence. The moment was beautiful. Until the buzzing in my pocket started us. I fished it out my pocket and Sophie laid back on me, Jace's name and a picture of his bear back at the beach was plastered on the screen.

" Hey baby." I answered

" Hey sweetheart, I'm downstairs "

" Okay."

" I love you, Clary."

" I love to , Jace." So damn much, he didn't even know. I got Sophie up and together we walked out the door and to the elevator. Sophie pressed a button and we were smoothly gliding down and coming at a stop on the 5th floor. A woman, who looked about it her late sixties used her cane to enter the elevator and pushed the lobby button.

" Why hello their!" The woman said bending down a bit to talk to Sophie.

" Hi! Sophie said back eagerly.

" You're just such a pretty girl."

" Thank you." The woman exited first. And I saw the love of my life then. He met us in the middle and gave Sophie a hug and said a hi, then came to me and wrapped his arms around me. Kissing my lips and whispering to me.

" Are you okay baby?"

" No, but lets not talk about it here"

Sophie was watching TV in Jace's room and we were downstairs. I sat on his Island while he finished lighting the last candle on the table. He then threw the lighter into a draw and shut it. He looked down at the floor for a moment and closed his eyes letting out a breath and looking at me from across the room. I could see the dangerous calm in his eyes.

" Come here " I told him softly. He didn't break eye contact with me while he walked. Jace stood in-between my legs and I took him face in my hands. Then dropped my hand quickly so that I could wipe a tear, only to completely break and have Jace pull me into his arms to let me cry on his chest.

" Jessica fed Sophie drugs, Jace. Drugs!" I whispered while sobbing.

" I know baby I know." He rubbed my back soothingly while he continued " And I just want to protect you and Sophie, and it breaks my heart to know what Jessica has done. Sophie's gonna have to deal with it for the rest of her life and it's not even like it's her fault."

" The rest of her life is -" Jace cut her off knowing damn well that all the different ways that statement could end would end on a negative note. He shook his head and pulled me into his arms more, carrying me bridal style to one of the loveseats then sat with me curled in his lap.

He cuddled with me, kissing my hair every now and then. We sat together in silence for hours, just listening to the quietness. I let my mind wonder to the past month. From the minute I stepped off the jet that brought the angels here, I knew something great would happen in California. I didn't know so much would happen. Sophie, Jace, the team, my friends finding people that they like. It was quite overwhelming. I just could decide weather or not if the good weighed out the bad.

The sun had set and from this angle you could only see the beach and a bit of the lights coming from the city. I sat across from Jace. My knee's tight together in-between his knee's. We began to talk about the most random things about thirty minutes ago.

" I'll go buy us food, how about you ask Sophie what she want's. Jace lifted his leg and slid off the windowsill we were sitting on. I laughed at how his foot smelled of popcorn.

" Okay" Before I could get to far Jace pulled me into him, his around me. He looked me in the eyes. I nodded and he understood. I was going to be fine. I pulled his face down to me pressed a firm kiss to his soft lips.

" I'm okay baby." I told him softly. I backed up from him without turning and his arms didn't leave me until he couldn't reach. I turned and skipped up the stair's to see Sophie sleepy soundly underneath Jace's cover's. She looked so adorable with little pieces of hair falling into her face sucking her thumb. I shook her softly.

" Soph? Sweetie?" Her hazel eyes stared at me for a moment before blood began to pour out of her nose. And she clutched her stomach and began to scream.

" Mommy make it stop! Make it stop!." She grabbed my hand as her eyes turned red while she cried.

" Sophie where does it hur-"

" DADDY!" She yelled and Jace was by my side in minutes crouching before her.

" Daddy, Mommy it won't stop!" She broke off screaming while she cried and threw her head back Jace's pillow, squeezing her eyes shut and screaming, clutching her stomach.

" Get your phone, call an ambulance." Jace muttered before cradling Sophie in is arms. I pursed my lips as we zoomed to the elevator. Jace pushed the lobby button and then the door closing button.

" Sophie, sweetheart. What hurts?" She continued to scream with her lips pursed, when she opened her mouth blood poured out. She cried and tried to talk as she threw up blood and bile.

" Mommy, daddy." She whimpered .

" Hello, 911 operator speaking. What is your emergency?"

" My" I looked at Sophie, whimpering in Jace's arm's. " Daughter is throwing up blood and has some type of pain going on!"

" Where is the pain?"

" Sophie where does it hurt baby? I asked brushing back the strands of hair that fell into her face.

" My tummy." She squeezed her eyes and suppressed screams. She was strong.

" Yes hello? Her stomach is causing her pain."

" Okay what's your location?"

After I told her Jace's address we were left trying to comfort Sophie in the lobby of the apartment. I stood next to Jace trying to hold in my tears. And tried to soothe her.

" Baby it's gonna be alright."

" Sweetheart" Jace mutters she just frowns at us, as her breathing shallows her eyes droop and her eyes shut.

"No, no, no, no" Sophie sweetheart open your eyes. I watch as Jace shakes her, then lay's her on the floor and begins CPR.

" One, one thousand, two, one thousand, three, one thousand, four one thousand. My hands fly over my mouth when I watch her body jerk with the force of pressure Jace is applying, yet she doesn't start breathing. Her eyes stay closed and with every push on her chest blood and bile sputters out of her nose and mouth. When Jace gets to twenty he gives her mouth to mouth and starts again. By now I'm jumping.

" Where's that damn ambulance?" I yell. Their are a large group of people around us. I drop to my knee's next to Sophie's head.

" Sophie, we love you and we can't lose you. Please baby. Please." I sob.

( 1 ) It's in your best interest to remember that for later.
