Hi, back again. Thank you so much for your reveiws 3 I hope you like it xxxx
As Issabelle stepped through the portal her eyes searched the street for Jace. The mundane police and fire crews investigated the exploded apartment, putting out the rest of the fire. Her heart began to beat faster and faster, "How can anyone survive that?" she wondered. Issabelle was glamoured so only those with the sight could see her. She heard her name being shouted. She turned around and her eyes locked on Jace. In his arms was her brothers limp body.
Issabelle set of running and when she reached Jace's side she saw the tears that had where burning his eyes, he was covered in cuts and bruises. She looked up into his eyes but they had turned dull and all the colouring from his face had been drained. "Are you alright?" Issabelle asked. Jace ignored Issabelle's question. Instead he asked a question of his own. "Alec's been out cold for ages now, I'm not sure how long he has been though. His pulse is weak, his heart beat is fading away...I can feel it Issy" Issabelle forced herself to stop her tears. "We should get back to the institute, the portal is still open. We need to move quickly, Alec needs help and you need to get to Clary." Issabelle stated. Jace's eyes showed a flicker of sparkle but only for a second "How is she?" he asked. Issabelle had started leading them back to the portal, "She's alright but she's in Labour Jace. She needs you..." she whispered.
As they reached the portal Issabelle stepped aside allowing Jace and Alec to go through first. "Go to the Infirmary, their waiting for us." silently Jace agreed before stepping through the portal still clutching Alec.
As soon as Issabelle disappeared Magnus crossed the room and laid out clean sheets and towels. Roles of bandages and an oxygen tank.
Clary pain made her feel as if her body would explode. "Mum, what do we do now, this is far too soon we don't have anything no nappies or Clothes." clary asked. Joclyn's face set as she was lost in thought. Simon was sat on the end of Clary's bed holding on to her legs, whilst sympathetically smiling towards her. Maryce was now sat on the bed next to Clary feeling rather out of place. "I have max's crib upstairs and a few special outfits from when they were all little." Clary stretched out her arms and held Maryce's hand "Thank you." She whispered. Clary's body began to shake again she could feel the baby moving inside her. Joclyn spotted Clary's tears. She crinkled up the edge of her sleeve and gently dabbed the tears away. "Just hold on Clary." Clary met her mother's eyes, in all the drama she had never thought about Luke she knew he had been in iris with her mother but hadn't heard anything about him since. "Where's Luke?" she asked. "He's still in Idris. He knows you're pregnant but he don't know about anything that has happened. He will be home soon." Joclyn answered. Clary let out another scream of pain. "Call him." Clary said. "I want my dad here."
Hearing Clary call Luke 'dad' made Joclyn's heart skipper a beat. "Dad?" she asked. Clary nodded. "He is my dad, he always has been. Valentine may have been my farther mum, but Luke's my Dad." she replied. Joclyn let out a long sigh as she squeezed Clary's hand. As she drew out her phone and stepped out of the infirmary to call her husband.
Maryce stepped away from Clary leaving her with Simon. "Simon, Thank you, I don't know what I would have done if you and Jace hadn't been there." Clary's eyes had filled with tears but these tears were not tears of pain. Instead they were tears of fear as her mind spun with possibilities of what could have happened. "Clary, I would do anything for you, you know that. I'm sorry I couldn't have been their sooner." Clary smiled at his softly. "I suppose I look weird like this, 9 months pregnant within a few weeks." She paused. "Simon, Do you think I'll be able to do this, be a mum?" she asked Simon moved up the bed towards her "Clary you will be a brilliant Mum." He answered, "Wow, Mum. That sounds so strange, being called that." Clary rubbed her stomach and shuck whilst pain pounded throughout her body. "Don't leave me." She whispered. "I will never leave you clary"
Magnus paced up and down the Infirmary room until the floor finally began to vibrate. He quickly ran to the side of the portal as Jace stepped through. Maryce darted towards them as Jace set Alec down on the bed. Once Issabelle came into the room she looked like she had seen a ghost. Rather than looking towards her brothers she looked at Clary and Simon. But remained silent. Clary tried to get up and go towards her but the pain held her still. "Issabelle? Is he going to be alright?" clary asked. Issabelle's eyes dropped to the floor. The sound of Maryce's sobs caught her attention as she moved to her brother's side, patting Jace's shoulder. "Go to Clary." she said. Jace nodded and moved to his girlfriend's side.
"Jace!" Clary shouted, letting out a sigh of relief. Simon Slowly stood up and stepped away, "I'll just be over there, I'll be right back." Clary nodded and turned towards Jace. He lent down and wrapped his arms around her nuzzling his head into her neck. Jace's whole body was weak, he felt Alec's pain as well as pain from his own injuries. His chest pressed up against Clary's allowing her to feel his every heartbeat. Jace slowly parted away from her but he kept holding her in his arms. Clary was now able to really look into his eyes. There golden colouring had turned brown and the bags circling them displayed just how exhausted he was. Jace lent forward and placed a sweet gentle kiss on her lips. "I love you." he said. He felt her body tighten and shudder against him. Clary's hand moved onto her stomach as she moved her hands around in circles in an attempt to try and ease her discomfort. Jace placed a hand on her cheek brushing her hair to the side, "Clary, how long have you been like this?" he asked. "Not long, my waters broke a few minutes after you left." She answered. Jace shook his head clearly angry with himself "I left you Clary, If something had of happened to you…" Clary stopped him by covering his hand with hers "Jace you couldn't have left Alec, I wouldn't have let you." She pulled him towards her and kissed him once more.
Joclyn came back into the infirmary and moved to her daughter's side as Jace pulled away from her. "Jace" she breathed "are you alright, you're bleeding?" Jace nodded "I'm fine"
"Jace I need you." Magnus stated. Jace eyes flicked towards Joclyn who nodded her head slightly. His attention then moved back to clary with a slight smile she said "I love you too." whilst letting go of Jace's arm allowing him to move away from her. Jace reached his brothers side and noticed that the runes which he had applied had almost completely vanished. Maryce had her stele in her hand but Jace stopped her "Let me do it. They will be stronger coming from me." He took the Stele from her and began to draw the runes.
Issabelle was holding on the role of bandages and Simon stood close to her whispering into her ear "It will be alright Issy, stay strong" She cut them to size and cleaned the dried blood off Alec's head and wrapped them around his head. One of her tears splashed down on to her brother's face. She raised her hand and gently wiped it away.
Jace applied as many runes as he could to Alec's skin but Alec was still unresponsive. Magnus was able to use his powers to identify what the problem was. "Grab the oxygen tank quickly" he moved and almost pushed Maryce away from her son. He snatched the tank off Jace and strapped the mask on to Alec's face pushing back his hair. "What is it?" Issabelle asked. Magnus almost didn't hear her the thoughts in his mind where making the world around him fade away. Issabelle placed her hand on his back and asked again but this time it was more demanding than before, "Magnus, What's wrong with Alec?" she asked. Magnus took a step back away from Alec, "You need to all sit down." He said but Jace and Issabelle didn't move an inch. "Just tell me" Issabelle demanded. Magnus nodded his head and began to speak.
"Alec inhaled an excessive amount of smoke, limiting the oxygen traveling towards his brain." He said without looking towards the other. Maryce was the first to reply "What does that mean? Will he recover?" she as ask whilst trying to maintain her fear. Magnus shook his head. "I don't think so. The lack of oxygen is preventing the signals from his brain from moving and controlling his body. So Alec's in a coma." The room fell silent. Issabelle couldn't contain her emotions any longer she burst in to tears. Simon spun her round and cradled her in his arms holding on to her tightly. Across the infirmary Clary's stomach was throbbing with pain, she had the urge to scream but desperately tried to control it. She forced her mouth to remain closed and growled through her teeth. Jace's head lifted and he softly smiled towards her. "Will he wake up?" Clary asked. Magnus shuck his head "Honestly Clarissia I really don't know." He answered. "As the Problem isn't anything related to the shadow world like a spell, poison, and demon bite my magic cannot help him. The clave employs mundane doctors with the sight for situations like this one. Contact them and get them to send one immediately. If Alec's oxygen flow doesn't regulate soon his body will begin to shut down and he won't make it through the night"
Maryce took in a deep breath before rising to her feet, she walked towards the doors and paused "Look after my boy." She said then left to contact the Clave.
Jace moved back towards Clary, he sat down at the side of her with tears rolling down his check. "What do we do now?" he asked. Joclyn looked towards him. "Clary's only a couple of centimetres dilated, it will be a slow labour." She turned her attention to Clary "Do you want anything?" Clary quickly nodded at her mother "I can't remember the last time I ate or drank anything." She answered. "Alright I will be back soon." Joclyn replied and walked away from her daughter.
Simon pulled Issabelle away from Alec to give Magnus some time alone with him and sat on the bed next to Clary. Issabelle was the first to speak "Clary I'm so so sorry." She wimped. Clary forced herself upright and shifted to the edge of the bed. Issabelle moved to her side as Clary pulled Issabelle towards her and the girls hung on to each other crying together. "Thank you Issabelle so much" Clary whispered. Issabelle grew confused. "Why?" She asked. Clary pulled away from her and Issabelle perched on the side of the bed. Clary smiled towards her "You were so brave Issabelle and even after you where home you still came back for me." Clary looked towards the boys "Thank you to all of you." She smiled. However Clary's smile quickly disappeared as pain shot through her body and she let out a scream. Jace laughed at her so she punched his arm. He smiled down at her "You're so beautiful Clary, so so beautiful. Now hurry up I want to meet my baby!" he laughed. Hearing those words made Clary's heart beat faster she held his hand and feeling embarrassed she looked down smiling towards her stomach.
When Clary raised her head she noticed that Magnus saw fumbling with Alec's bandages they were completely soaked with blood, Jace and Issabelle rushed to his side leaving Simon with clary. "What's happening?" Issabelle asked. Magnus shook his head. "I don't know he just started bleeding again" he answered. Jace lent forward and tossed the bandages to Issabelle, she quickly wrapped them around her brother's head. Holding on to him tightly. "What do we do now?" she asked. Magnus met her gaze. "Now we wait…."
