Hey Guys! Welcome back! Thank you guys for once again reading my story I am so thankful for that. But a big thank you to those who actually take the time to actually review I really appreciate it. Well here you are guys! The next chapter.

Chapter 8: Should I Give Up?

CPOV:

If there is one thing I didn't miss about being pregnant the first time around it's these damn contractions. I think this time I will actually break Jon's hand.

"Clary, were almost in labor and delivery! Then we can get you comfortable alright sweetheart?" Magnus murmured to me.

"Yes just move a little faster why don't ya?" I hiss as they rolled me down the hallway to where Jace was standing waiting for me.

"How are Clare?" He smiles at me.

"In labor Jace how do you think I am?" I say sarcastically

"Well I guess you being nice to me during pregnancy ends now huh?" He murmurs stepping aside so Magnus can wheel me in.

"Where is Lucas? Someone get me Adele!" I shout curling a bit as I am hit with another contraction.

"Adele is on her way with Izzy and Jem went to watch the other kids. Will has Lucas and is unsure if he should bring them or not." Jace saying fiddling with his jacket zipper and not trying to meet my eyes.

"Why wouldn't he bring Lucas and Adele to me Jace? They are my children!" I hiss doubling over in pain as Magnus places me in my bed.

"That's why Clare. You're starting to act all scary and we don't want to scare the kids" Jace begins as Jon close the curtain so Magnus can change me. "They might think a monster has taken over their mother not to mention their father is in critical condition."

He has a point even I have to admit that but I am not going without seeing my children. Not even if Jace suggested I do so.

"Tell Will to give me a few hours to get an epidural and then I could see Lucas and Adele." I say and hear Jace leaving the room a few seconds later.

JPOV: (Jace)

"How is she?" Will asks as I come inside Lucas room.

"She has seen better days. Luke coded and I am guessing that's what caused her to go into early labor. I think she is stressed out. But I convinced her to wait a bit before asking us to bring Lucas."

"Good call. The last thing we need is for her to upset Lucas more than what he is." We both look over to Lucas on the bed sound a sleep. Sawyer read Lucas a book and watched Thomas and friends with him. I think Sawyer is actually feelin' the whole having a kid thing.

"How is he?" I whisper trying not to make him awake up.

"How do you think? He witness his father getting shot, and a shoot-out all because a psyco said he was his mommy brother and he went with him. He was feeling guilty saying it was his fault for going with the bad man. Then he said if he was a good boy he would have ran and got daddy's gun." Will shakes his head and I sigh.

"I think he should talk to someone about it." A voice from the corner says and I remember Hodge was in the room.

"I know. He will once everything is underway. Someone from the agency." I say keeping my eyes on Lucas.

"I don't think that is such a good idea. Have Magnus recommend someone from this hospital that works relation with the agency. That way it's someone that knows what we do but understands where he as the kid is coming from as well." Hodge says scanning Lucas sleeping form once more.

"That is currently up to Clary. Luke isn't in a good place right now. He coded once and there is a 50% chance he may code again-" I begin only to be cut off my Hodge.

"There is a 50% chance he may pull through as well." He says with a smug smirk on his face. "My son-" That was my cue to cut him off.

"Lucian."

"Excuse me?" Hodge ask his eyebrow arched as if to challenge me to speak up again. So challenge accepted.

"Lucian. His name is Lucian and as far as he said he doesn't claim you as his father anymore. He said he has no father." I all but hissed at him. I check Lucas sleeping figure once more before carrying on. "Stop trying to be father of the year and trying to be honored for the excellent things Lucian has accomplished and who he turned out to be. He did it all on his own. The only good things you did for him is sign him up for the Agency and introduce him to Joscelyn so he could meet his future wife Clary." I cross my arms over my chest and lean against the wall by the door.

"What happens between my son and I are between my son and I. Back off." He hisses before getting up in his seat. "Come on Taylor let's take a walk. Sawyer can stay with the boy." With that he leaves without even casting us a single look back. I sigh in relief.

"He's right you know." Sawyer says from his spot on the bed with Lucas.

"About?" I ask looking confused.

"What he did is between Lucian and him but also Clarissa as well. Those are the people he hurt by his actions. I am sure Lucian reminds him every chance he is given how much of a fuck up his father us. No matter how much Lucian and Clarissa doesn't want to admit it Hodge is part of their family by blood. Us meddling won't do any good especially when the children get old enough to understand what is happening around them." I nod in understand.

"Your right. But what you fail to realize is we all are all family. You don't jump into a fight for just anybody you know."

"I know." Sawyer smiles and I smile back despite myself.

CPOV:

Forty-five minutes I've been sitting in pain waiting to be dialated enough for an epidural. I sent Jon out for more ice and Magnus fell asleep waiting for Camila a few minutes ago. I don't have the heart to wake him but my contraction are getting worse so I know I will eventually wake him up. A knock on my door broke me from my train of thought. Hodge was standing there with a blank expression.

"What are you doing here?!" I hiss grabbing the bottom of my stomach as I'm hit with a contraction.

"I just came to see how you're doing Clarissa." He mumbles looking everywhere but me. I don't know why but that just makes me mad.

"Oh now you want to check on me!" I say in a deadly calm voice while clutching my stomach and glaring at him. "This whole thing is your fault! You couldn't keep your fucking meddling ways from getting into our business! You trying to get me out the way to have Luke under your thumb caused all this shit to happen to begin with!" Jon burst into the room with Jace but I am on a roll. "You told a mentally unstable men where I was and helped him escape! You told him to do whatever he wanted to a woman that was pregnant with your son's children! His twin son and daughter!" I pause to hiss in pain before continuing as I can Magnus slowly easing out of the chair. "I nearly died giving birth because of the stress you caused the first time around but by some miracle I lived! My son was kidnapped because of your stupid jealous ways!" I lose control and start full out yelling. "MY HUSBAND WAS SHOT BECAUSE OF YOU! HE COULD DIE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?! MY CHILDREN COULD NOT HAVE A FATHER! I HATE YOU! GET OUT!" I reach for the cup on the tray and throw it at him. "GET THE FUCK OUT!" I kick and scream and stare at his shock face. Jace and Jon rushes into room while Taylor pulls Hodge out of the room. Jon eases onto the bed and pulls me to his chest and I cry hard. All this pent up energy and stress coming out at once. I feel a pinch on my arm and the world around me slowly goes dark and I watch it surround me. Welcoming the peace and quiet.

Well there you go guys! This Chapter has alot of drama in it but I can't wait for the ending because it is so unexpected.

Will Luke Live? Will Luke die? Will Clary die? Will she lose her child? Will something random like the hospital burning down happen?! Lol. Just kidding guys.

Hope you guys enjoyed it. Please review to tell me what you think and what you think will happen next. I will love to hear from you all.

Well until next time my little love bugs!

Kiss Kiss Babes! ;)
