Chapter 4
1 month later Jace was taking me to the hospital to get a check up to see how everything was going. And I was excited. The bleeding stopped 4 days ago and I only had a few cramps. I wore an orange skin tight tank top, an above the knee length flowing white skirt and my favourite pair of jimmy choo gladiator wedges.
Since I started showing heaps more, Isabelle decided that my outfits weren't going to be crop tops and high-waist shorts. She went shopping and brought to my house a whole bunch of clothes. Oh no, now I had to wear skin tight tops and skirts.
"Hey how are you doing?" Jace asked me, taking hold of my hand as we walked to the hospital doors.
I breathed out. "I don't know. I am just hoping I'm getting better."
"I'm sure you are going to be fine. Why don't you go and find a seat? I'll go and check you in." He pushed me towards the waiting area and he walked to the front desk.
I sat down on an empty chair and closed my eyes until I heard a voice. "Hey you're Clary Fairchild, the artist."
I opened my eyes and saw a guy with black eyes and charcoal hair staring at me. "Yeah thanks, I usually forget my name." I said full of sarcasm.
"My name is Sebastian Verlac and I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me." He asked. I snorted.
"No, sorry."
"Why not?" He pouted.
"I don't know if you can see me. But I am pregnant."
"Yeah, so?" He smirked.
Before I could say anything someone said. "Because she has a boyfriend. Now stop harassing her." Sebastian got up, not saying anything else and stalked off. "Hey the doctors waiting for us."
We walked silently until we entered the exam room. "Hello Clary. Just take a seat on the bed." I plonked down on the bed. "So how have you been feeling?"
I sighed, happily. "Really good actually. The bleeding stopped 2 weeks ago. But I still have a few cramps every now and again." I carried on telling her my symptoms and she was writing them down on paper. After that Dr Penhallow did some blood tests and an ultrasound. She left the room silently. (Remember I know nothing about placenta Previa, or pregnancies. So sorry about the mistakes.)
"I really hope you and our little girl to be alright." Jace whispered kissing my head.
About 20 minutes later Dr Penhallow came back into the hospital room. "Ok Clary, I've got good news and bad news." I nodded my head urging her to go on. "The good news is that you're allowed to move around more, but no hard physical activity. The bad news is that you're still in risk of losing the baby, with the level of your placenta. It has gotten higher over the last few weeks, so be careful."
I was able to leave after that. Jace opened my car door and helped me in. He jumped in on the other side. His phone started buzzing.
"Hey. What's up?" There was chatter on the other end, while Jace was nodding.
"That sounds great. We'll see you later. Bye." Well that was a short phone call.
"What was that about?"
Jace shrugged. "Isabelle phoned me saying that she invited us to dinner tonight to congratulate you and to catch up with everyone. How does that sound?"
"That's fine. But where are we going."
Jace said we were going to some fancy Italian restaurant at 7.
At 5:30 I started getting ready. Jace drew me a bath while he went for a run. When I carefully sat down in the wonderfully warm water, I sighed in content.
It gave me time to think about everything that has happened so far. I got pregnant from a one night stand, who is now living in my house- I mean our house, my pregnancy has resulted into Placenta Previa, and come to think of it, I hardly know much about Jace. Like who are his parents, does he have any siblings? Things like that. I know that he got a job at the gym, round the corner from my studio.
I know all the little things about him from when we played truth or truth, like his favorite color is black, he is afraid of lizards, he loves sports, dogs and cats. But there are those big things that I'm wondering about.
I'm awoken from my thoughts when I hear Jace's voice run through the house. "Clary! Where are you?!"
"Still in the bath!" I yell back. A minute later Jace came in with a towel.
"Hey Clare. Do you mind if I have a shower now?" I shook my head. He turned on the hot water in the shower. He started taking off his shirt and proceeded with his shorts. Damn, but he has really defined muscles. I looked up to see him smirking at me.
I took this as my queue to go get dressed. I tried to lift myself up but failed. Jace saw me struggling and walked over to the bath and looked at me. "You need some help?" Even without looking at him, I could hear the smile in his voice.
I lifted my arms up to him. "Yes now shut up. I don't see you carrying a child in you right now." Jace pulled me up and placed me softly on the fuzzy mat.
"There. Now don't bad mouth my little princess in any way." He joked while caressing my belly.
I leaned up and slowly kissed him. It was a short and passionate. "Thanks." I whispered parting from him.
I pulled my towel around me and exited the bathroom to finish getting ready.
After 10 minutes Jace walked out the bathroom, a towel around his waist, and drying his hair with another, steam escaping from around him. I on the other hand put on a matching set of a black bra and panties. I still couldn't decide on what to wear.
Jace saw my confused expression. Hey came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Hey, what's wrong?"
I shrugged. "I don't know what to wear." Jace glanced at the options I had on the bed. An open shouldered dress, a chiffon dress with a silver belt, and one more that's just 3-quarter cotton dress.
"How about you wear that one." He pointed to the open shouldered one. I nodded taking it and pulled it over my head. "There. You look beautiful."
He pecked me on my nose and started getting dressed himself. I quickly twisted my hair out of my face and secured it with a pin and fixed my make-up.
I walked out of the bathroom to see Jace nowhere in sight so I grabbed my shoes and bag and made my way to the front entrance.
"You ready to go?"
Hey.
