As Clary begin to push the pain in her stomach was pounding, her whole body trembled and ached. Jace moved and sat on the edge of the bed. He stretched his arm around her back and held her tightly. Tears trickled down her face. Clary's contractions had increased and they were now only 5 minutes apart. Clary's breathing was heavy sweat shined across her fore head. Joclyn had tide Clary's hair up so it was out of her face. But nothing that Joclyn or Jace could do could ease Clary's discomfort. The Doctor was at the bottom of the bed and he had raised the blanket which covered her legs and was timing her contractions.
As another contraction came Clary gripped her mother's hand tightly, although the pain consumed her entire body Clary didn't scream, she forced her mouthed shut and scrunched her face up tightly. She felt her baby move around in her stomach, the pressure on her bladder was unbelievably strong. Clary pushed as hard as she could but didn't feel like she was making any progress. It felt to clary as if there was a solid brick wall and she was a small child trying to push it down. separating her from her baby. Memories of her first time with Jace came flooding back to her. The way Jace made her feel, stripping her down piece by piece until he had every piece of her and there was nothing between them. The way he looked at her like they were the only two people left in the entire universe, how he held her, touched her bare skin and the way he kissed her and made the rest of the world fade away.
Although Clary had become lost within her thoughts reality quickly kicked her out of them. Another contraction came but this time Clary couldn't contain her pain. She squeezed her mother's hand so tightly that it changed colour as the blood brained out of it. Clary felt Jace jump beside her as she let out a terrifying scream his spare arm grabbed hold of her hand and gently stroked the back of it. The doctor lifted his head and looked at Clary "Clary you need to push for longer, your exactly 10 centimetres dilated so the contractions will be much closer" Clary looked at the doctor wide eyed. "I'm not ready." She whispered.

As the infirmary doors closed behind Magnus, Simon and Issabelle Clary's scream echoed down the corridor. Magnus separated from Simon and Issabelle and decided to go outside for some fresh air. Issabelle wrapped her arms across her chest gripping her arms tightly. "Issabelle..." Simon called she turned to face her boyfriend. She hadn't realised that she had been crying, not until Simon stretched out his hand and wiped the tears away. "Do cry Issy" he said softly "It will be alright." He moved to pull her towards him but she quickly pushed him away "Don't! Don't tell me it's okay when it's not Simon. Clary is in labour! and Alec's in there fighting for his life!" she shouted. Simon didn't respond He just held his arms open and eventually Issabelle stepped into them. Simon pulled her close and cradled her in his arms. He heard her slight whimpers. Issabelle gripped Simon's shirt tangling the fabric through her fingers. Simon kissed her on the top of her head. She squeezed him tightly then looked up towards his face. "Simon can you do something for me?" she asked. Simon nodded his head "Anything Issy" her eyes sparkled as she looked towards him. "Just kiss me…"
Simon tilted his head towards her as her lips lightly brushed other his. Issabelle pulled him towards her, the way she clung on to his shirt made it tight around him. As her eyes roamed his body his shirt outlined the shape of his muscles. Issabelle forced him hard against her body, Simon stepped backwards pushing Issabelle's back towards the wall. Issabelle pressed her lips up against his, she parted her lips deepening the kiss. Simon's whole body tensed as Issabelle's hand slid down his chest. She wrapped her hands round his waste pulling his hips towards hers. Simons hands cupped the bottom of her shoulder blades. They were pulling and pushing on each other's body's their kisses grew longer not wanting their lips to part. "Simon…" Issabelle said softly "Take me back to my room." Simon pulled away from her and shook his head "No Issabelle. You're only doing this as a distraction." Issabelle shot him a glare "So what if I am" she said sternly. Simon didn't rise to Issabelle's complaint "Issabelle… We should go look for some baby things, your mum said she had some that where..." he couldn't get his words out he hated brining Max up around Issabelle because he hated seeing her cry. Before he could finish his sentence Issabelle did it for him "Max's things. I know where they are. Let's go then."

In the infirmary Maryce was sat silently holding her son's limp hand. Her stele was firmly held in her spare hand its design left imprints on her palm. It had been almost an hour since Clary began to push but the baby hadn't even begun to crown yet. Maryce could see the pain in Clary's face and the fear in Jace's. Maryce watched over her adoptive son her heart ached, she wanted to pull him close and tell him that she loved him like one of her own and that everything would be alright but she couldn't tare herself away from Alec. She looked at Alec and wondered if he could hear what was happening around him. She opened her mouth to speak to him but the words didn't come instead tears ran down her face and her heart thumped hard against her chest.
"JACCCCCCE!" Clary screamed. her legs where spread wide open allowing everything to be seen. At first Clary was embarrassed but now she couldn't care less the pain numbed the rest of her senses. "It's alright, I'm here Clary" he replied. Even though he could see her pain he couldn't help but smile to himself, even now Clary was the most beautiful thing that he had ever seen. Jace glanced towards Joclyn who was looking over to Alec and Maryce.
Joclyn turned back to Clary "Clary, this is something for you and Jace to do. I'm Going to go sit with Maryce, I'm here if you need my sweetheart." Clary nodded and squeezed her mother's hand one last time before releasing her grip and watching her mother move across the infirmary. Clary pulled Jace Close to her and held on to him tightly. She nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck. Another contraction came, this one was much stronger than the others. Clary's fingers gripped Jace's arms, her nails cutting into his skin but Jace didn't even flinch. Clary gritted her teeth and growled in pain. The doctor placed his hands of each of Clary's knees spreading her legs further apart "Keep pushing Clary, as hard as you can the baby is almost crowning." His words sent a shiver down Jace's spine but her kept hold of Clary "It's ok, keep pushing Clary." He felt her body shudder against him.
"right Clary the next contraction will be within the next two minutes and when it does you need to listen to my voice and hold on for as long as you can." The doctor said. Jace pulled away from Clary kissing her cheek as he moved to her side. Clary let her body relax, her head fell back against the pillow and she drew a few deep breaths. Clary looked towards Alec's bed, Maryce and Joclyn where sat together. Maryce holding onto her son and Joclyn holding her spare hand looking towards Jace and Clary. Clary felt her whole body begin to stiffen "Another one". Jace wrapped his arm around her shoulders. As the doctor began to speak Jace held his breath. "Alright Clary, when you push listen to my voice okay" Clary nodded her head, she let out a squeal in pain as she began to push. "Right Clary listen to my voice as I count down. 10…9…8…7…6" Clary squealed out in pain, "I can't, I can't do it!" she shouted. Jace moved to where he had been a few minutes ago "Clary, hold on to me" he whispered. Clary wimped and snuggled against him as he held her in his arms.
Another contraction came "Clary count down with me 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1" She made it to the end of his count down. Jace whispered "well done" into her ear but she could hardly hear him over the sound of her own breathing. She felt Jace pull away from her slightly "How much longer?" he asked. "I can see the part of the baby's head with another strong push like the last one the child will be fully crowning" Jace turned and snuggled back into Clary, his hold tightened as he said "I love you so so much Clary. You can do this I know you can" Clary smiled against him her rested his forehead against hers as she began to push once more.
The doctors count down felt as if he was counting hours. Clary screamed out in pain. Clutching Jace's. her head began to spin, the world around her seemed to fall away pulling her into dizziness. The doctors voice quickly pulled her back into reality. "Clary keep pushing, keep pushing…. The Babies head is completely visible now Clary. With the next few contractions the baby will take their first breath…."
