UPDATED AS FAST AS I COULD! I HAD SO MUCH FUN WRITING THIS CHAPTER! I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY IT AND MAYBE LEAVE ME A REVIEW LETTING ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK? ... PRETTY PLEASE LOL JK KK LI'LL LET YOU GUYS GET TO READING!
I try to call Isabelle again, this time with luck. She answered on the third ring. "Oh my God Clary Fray finally!" she sighed in relief. "We're in the fourth floor. Just talk to the lady at the desk, she'll lead you to his room." I ran across the street, checking my reflection, and hoping nothing pregnant wise was showing. I was nearly a month in. I didn't know if other people could notice yet. They're not supposed to notice yet. Right? It's usually the third month or the fourth where they notice? Right?
I shook off the thought and went straight to the receptionist, asking for Simon's room.
He'd been there for three days now and was doing fine though he'd be in a wheelchair for who knows how long. Our wedding had to be postponed until further notice. Isabelle already handled everything. I thanked God that Izzy was in my life at that moment. I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have her.
Simon was asleep by the time I got there. He looked so peaceful at that moment that I nearly forgot why we were here in the first place.
"Okay, so I guess we can push the wedding a month to give him some time to heal?" Izzy asked all business now. "Unless it's officially off…" I shook my head. I couldn't make that decision without him. I don't know how we ended up in this type of situation. We love each other. We're each other's best friend. How could it have gone so wrong?
"I can leave you two alone if you want Clary?" I took her hand. "No stay here, I need to tell you about what happened in Rome."
And so, I told Isabelle Lightwood the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. She didn't interrupt like she normally would have –probably too stunned from what I was telling her. Jace and I somehow found each other in the same country and the same time. One drunken night had gotten us to be closer than we'd ever thought we could get. I told her about Valentine and about how Jace and I have the same father. I also told her that I was now carrying my half brother's child. And we just sat there in silence after that, her taking in the news, me half relieved and half anxious that the cat was out of the bag. It all didn't seem real to me until now. I totally screwed up. My life, Jace's life, Simon's life and the baby's life. All our lives are screwed up. I sighed. How am I going to carry on from here?
"Oh honey," Izzy said, taking my sobbing self in her arms. "It's okay, you'll get through this. You know why?"
I looked up at her waiting for her reassuring words. "Because you're a strong independent woman that is smart enough to overcome even this unique situation." She finished with a smile.
"What would Simon say when he wakes up?" I breathed.
"Well, we'll just have to find out no huh?" She pointed towards the door to Simon's room. I nodded. Now it was time to tell him. "Come with me?" I asked, reaching for her hand. She took mine and led me to the room. I took a deep breath trying to calm myself.
"Simon?" I smiled when his eyes fluttered open. I walked to the side of the bed, wiping my eyes. I squeezed his hand in delight. "Clary?" he mumbled.
"Yeah, it's me. I came home because I heard you were hurt."
He shook his head. I could have imagined it but it looked like he was about to cry. "Shhh," I tried to calm him down.
"Clary, I messed up." He sobbed. It broke my heart to see him like this. Where was my strong knight in shining armor? "I didn't mean to do those things. I shouldn't have let Maia in. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, Clary." I bit my lip, resting my forehead on our twined hands. We were both crying now. I heard the door close; I looked up to see Izzy slip away.
"We both made mistakes Simon." I kept repeating this. He shook his head. "No…"
I took a deep breath. It's time. It's time to tell him the truth. "Simon, I'm pregnant."
Flashback
It was a cold night but I felt warm all over. The stars were sparkling where we were. Simon and I were celebrating our seven year anniversary. I can't believe we've been together for that long. We started dating when I was seventeen. Somehow seven was always my lucky number.
We were walking down the streets of San Francisco. We took a week off from everything and had a road trip from Brooklyn to San Francisco. Simon had some friends here that were willing to take us in for a few days. It was fun going on the road. We decided with each stop we go to a concert. It was always a surprise to me but it seemed like Simon thought this trip through since it wasn't that hard to get into the arena. Then again Simon had connections here and there.
We ended up in The Warfield Theater in Market Street. I was excited because according to Simon a lot of good bands are playing tonight. I sincerely don't know how Simon did it but we got really good treatment and got to the front of the crowd. I was oozing with glee as the concert began with its opening YellowCard. I felt somewhat old being surrounded by preteens with their parents and emo/scene kids head banging to the music. But I didn't really think about it so much. I was just happy being here.
"Clary, I'll be right back okay? I'm going to get us some drinks." I nodded, barely noticing as he slipped away. My mind was too mesmerized by the pounding music and the never ending mosh pits forming in the middle of the general area. Later that night, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came on. I nearly flipped out because it was my first time seeing them live. I looked around for Simon but he was nowhere to be found. I frowned; he's missing all the fun.
They began their set with Face Down, also known as one of my favorite songs from them. Even though it sounded so different from the recorded version, I jumped around and bumped with the teeny boppers, letting myself have fun. I felt like sixteen all over again, except there was no one to tell me no. I could do whatever I want. Life is good.
After two more songs, the lead singer –Ronnie Winter –began talking about love and how it's a beautiful thing and such.
"So is Clarissa Fahray here?" I blinked, my eyes going wide. Did he just call for me? One of the crew members ran to him and whispered something in his ear. He nodded, laughing at his mistake. "My bad, so is Clary Fray here?" Everyone looked around trying to find the mysterious girl that happened to be me. I took a deep breath before raising my hands up in the air and waving like an idiot. Ronnie Winters smiled and they brought me up the stage. "Uhm, I don't really know what this is about but if I did something wrong, I can pay you back?" I told him all in one breath, completely nervous. He just shook his head and began playing the intro to Your Guardian Angel. The next thing I knew, Simon was coming out from backstage with his hands behind his back. The drummer handed him the mic and said the few words that brought me to tears that night. "Clary Fray. We've been best friends since we were kids and have been together for seven years. I love you so much and I wouldn't ask this question to any other person." He got down on one knee and revealed the item he was hiding behind his back: a red velvet box. He opened the box, revealing a sparkly diamond ring. "Clary, will you marry me?" He got up and hugged me as I nodded franticly. He slipped the ring on and everything melted away. It was just Simon and me...dancing to what was now our song.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart…
