Jace's POV

I slip out of Abigail's nursery silently and leave the door ajar. She was inside playing with blocks, she's now learned to come down the stairs safely. I hear grunts of frustration as I make my way downstairs, I see Clary ball of up a piece of painting paper and throw it down.

"You okay?" I say quietly. She'll be hitting her first month in in her pregnancy soon and her hormones are setting in early. Not to mention she does get a temper when it comes to her art, you have to be very careful in this situation.

"No." she snaps back, realizing she snapped a sadness appears in her eyes. She playfully whines and walks over to me. "No." she says more softly and wraps her hands around my waist and rests her head on my shoulder. I hold her close and gently.

"What do you wanna do today? It's only 11:00, we still have plenty of time to do things. We could...go to the zoo, we could go out for lunch, maybe go shopping? What would you like to do, love?" I ask her, she loves it when I use the term 'love'. It's a British thing and I think that's why she loves it.

She simply giggled and pecked my cheek. "I'm not sure, I was kinda thinking we could throw a get together soon, with it being June in 5 weeks. That's enough time to plan, right?" she asks.

"That's a good idea, we'll start planning soon." I say, just then, my phone rings. It was from Isabelle, I haven't heard from her in 2 days, usually we text every day, honestly. She's my adoptive sister and I love her.

"What's up, Iz?" I ask and I hear a shaky breath. I swear if she's upset because of Simon I will break him, no matter what. No one hurts her.

"U-um, can I come over. I need to talk to Clary." she says shakily, it was heartbreaking.

"Of course, do you need to be picked up?" Clary eyed me, she probably thought she was out drinking last night and was hungover. It was Saturday yesterday, the situation would fit but, that wasn't the case.

She hesitated for a moment, I was about to say something- wondering if she cut out or hung up but she answered with, "Yes, I hate to be a bother-"

"Don't think anything of it Izzy, I'm on my way." I say as I go to the kitchen counter and grab the keys. Now, where were my shoes?

"Can it be Clary actually, no offense I just need a girl." That pinched but I completely understood, Clary looked over to me, I figured she just heard what Izzy had said and how frail her voice was.

"Yea, no problem. She will be there momentarily, where are you?"

"I'm at Tessa's. She's Jem's girlfriend, the one who delivered Abby. Let me give you the address, one moment." she says with some commotion in the background, poor Izzy.

Clary's POV

I feel so bad for Izzy as I drive my way over there. Jace had told me everything, and in a way, I felt nervous that it could be Simon's fault. Scenarios ran through my head, what if he left her with the baby, what if he kicked her out, what they just argued. Or, was he even the one to blame?

I made it to Tessa's house where Izzy sat there on the porch with Tessa. Tessa was a wonderful lady with beautiful long brown and golden hair, sparkling gray eyes that I was always jealous of, sort of. Izzy came up and sat in the passenger seat as Tessa waved a goodbye and went back into her and Jem's house.

Izzy looked completely different. Her hair was in a lazy top knot and slightly unbrushed, her eyes stayed low and were a permanent red to crying. Her face was tear streaked and even her skin had seemed to already to be paling. She wore a dark blue beater top and brown shorts and some sandals. She collapsed into tears and I came over as much as I could to hug her. I was literally the shoulder to cry on.

We stayed there for a few minutes, she tore apart from the hug and laid back on her seat. She was wearing no makeup and had been crying but still looked flawless. She wiped her tears on her face with her thumb.

"To clarify, it has to do with Simon but it doesn't, just before I begin." she says, I sigh inwardly. "I had a dream that Simon had raped me with the baby, but I don't know, somewhere inside me it's telling me it wasn't a dream. Well, what happened was, Simon started forcibly kissing me, I pushed him off and ran outside and bumped into Luke, then Simon was his normal self. Then we went back inside and he apologized and I accepted that, so we both went to sleep it off and he started forcibly kissing me again and this time I couldn't push him off. Suddenly kissing him turned into rape.

So I ran out when I woke up, screaming, Simon tried chasing after me but that didn't last long. I went to Alec and he said something that Simon had said to me when he raped me so that scared me and I ran out. I then got a taxi and ate at Takis yesterday. So I contacted Jem and he contacted Tessa for me so I went to Tessa's and spent the night. She's amazing she talked it out with me." she finishes, oh that's horrible!

"Izzy, that's horrible! It was just a dream, remember that. Well, let me bring you back to my house and we can talk, I think Jace was going to visit Magnus on his movie set with Abigail, so we will just have some us time." I say gently and I ride off in the car slowly. Driving the rest of the way home in silence.

…

Isabelle sits down on the couch as I bring her- and myself- a glass of iced water. she rubs her bump softly, I'm glad I haven't been showing but then again I love having a bump there to hold and rub, it shows that I really am holding a baby inside me.

"When I ran though, I started getting lower abdomen pain and I'm really worried for the baby. You know I was having a hard time conceiving and the fact I might have cost my baby's own life scares me so badly." she says, I don't think she 'killed' her baby by running.

"I don't think you did any harm to the baby at all." I say, "Want me to call Jem and see what he would know." I ask politely, she takes a tiny sip of her water before answering. Poor Iz, this is crushing her.

"Well, you know I love Simon, Alec, and Jace but, the reason I wanted you and Tessa is because everytime I look at a guy, I know they have the power over me to rape me and hurt my child." she says, this was harder for her than I thought. Although, this doesn't seem like anything you could just talk her out of or through, she needed more attentive care. Someone professional.

"Izzy, no one has any intention on hurting you or your baby, that I know of. And, even if somebody was going to, do you know how many people will back you up and protect you no matter what?" I say, and sigh quietly, "Iz, I think you need a bit more professional care on this, I can only do so much as a best friend."

"You're right." she sniffles, I wasn't expecting her to answer like that so quickly, or at all. "When do you think I should see a counselor?"

"Whenever you'd like, I'll be there to support you all the way through it." I say, she hugs me and thanks me endlessly.
