It was white everywhere. The walls, the sheets, even my skin was white. Is this what heaven looks like? I asked myself sitting up. My hands flew to my stomach to check and see if I was still pregnant and sure enough, right under the curve of my chest, my large baby bump sat. I let out a relieved sigh, closing my eyes. Under my lids, the events of last night played out. The girl, Jace, the apology, I opened my eyes with a start. Next to me there was movement. I looked over to the side and there was Jace, curled up under his black jacket. He slowly opened his golden eyes and a pang went through me.

"Clary! Thank god. I thought I lost you," he said, after fully waking up and rushing to my side. I slowly backed up away from him. I couldn't be near him. He noticed and a pained expression crossed his features. Suddenly the doctor burst into the room and Jace sprung away from me.

"Mrs. Morgenstern, I'm Dr. Bartholomew. It seems you've had a fainting spell," said the doctor extending his hand. I shook it trying to keep my eyes off of Jace, who took his seat by my side once again.

"Miss Morgenstern, I understand that you are with child," he said, and I nodded suddenly looking alarmed.

"Why is there something wrong with the baby," I said and my hands flew to my stomach again. I saw Jace out the corner of my eye looking very pale.

"That's why I'm here. I am going to escort you to the OB/GYN floor so that we can make sure your baby is as right as roses. But before we go, would you like to call someone or is he your transportation," he asked gesturing to Jace. I said he was just a friend when he said I was his girlfriend and I gave him a look.

"I'll let you figuring things out, when your ready, hit the little red button by your bed," he said, leaving us behind. I nodded and continued to keep my distance from Jace. I grabbed my phone from its pocket in my coat. I called Isabelle.

"Clary?! Where are you? You didn't come home last night! Do you want me to come get you," she stammered out.

"I'm at the hospital,"I said quietly and Isabelle screamed.

"What happened? Never mind, tell me where you are. I'll come get you," She said alarmed. I could already tell that she was grabbing her keys and heading out the door.

"Um... I'm at Mount Sinai Hospital," I said, looking at the Mt. Sinai logo on the pamphlets.

"I'll be there in ten minutes," she said and she hung up. Jace and I still hadn't talked. It was weird standing here and not speaking to him. I sighed and pushed the button before I did something I regretted.

"Clary," he started, I could feel his eyes on me.

"What Jace," I asked, whipping around to him. I probably looked ridiculous in my hospital gown and my flaming red hair.

"Talk to me. You haven't said anything to me at all," he said, his voice rising a little. I look down at my shoes still remembering last night, "You won't even look at me."

"What exactly am I supposed to say Jace," I said, leaving the room and slamming the doors behind me. I walked down the hallway, the cold tiles icing my feet. Doctor Bartholomew was talking to a nurse when I came up to them.

"Ms. Morgenstern, are you and your friend ready," he asked. I nodded and the nurse left us.

"Where is your friend anyway," he asked and I could feel someone pop up next to me.

"Right here, Doctor," said Jace stonily. Dr. Bartholomew stared at him for a second before leading the way.

"This discussion isn't over, Clary," said Jace, looking ahead. I ignored him and kept walking, fists clenched and unclenched.


TIME SKIP TO AFTER CHECK UP

"Ms. Morgenstern, since everything seems to be okay with the baby, why don't we all head back to your room," said the doctor after I replaced my gown. There was yelling outside.

"My mother is an attorney. She eats people like you for breakfast. Let me in to see her," said a voice that belong distinctly to Isabelle. I opened the door and there she was arguing with a nurse, looking positively murderous. The door hit the wall and Isabelle looked up from her spat and her eyes got wide.

"Clary! Don't you ever do something like that again! You could've died. The baby could've died," she said but her voice hardened and her back went stiff, "What the hell are you doing here?"

The question was directed at Jace, whose face gained some color. But other than that, he looked a mess. His golden hair was disheveled and he had bags under his eyes. And his eyes, they had no light in them, almost as if the gold had dulled to a yellow color.

"I brought her here," he said, standing up straighter.

"You put her in the hospital? First you cheat and then you beat her up? Do you have any idea how much I want to-

"Isabelle, why don't go downstairs and get my clothes. I'll be released in a second," I said, giving Isabelle a look saying "I got it". Isabelle huffed and stomped out of the room in her black Mary Janes. I turned back to Jace. His molten eyes were already on me.

"What," I said, letting a more irksome tone creep into my words.

"Clary, that girl really is my sister," he said, his voice was pleading with me to believe him.

"Jace, how stupid do you think I am? I know she's not your sister. Isabelle, the girl you just saw, saw you with her, at the store! Isabelle hasn't lied to me about anything. Who am I supposed to believe, someone who at the first three months wanted nothing to with this baby, Or someone who has been there for me since I was seven," I yelled at him. He flinched.

"Clary you got to believe me," he said, taking my hands in his. I wriggled them out.

"The funny thing is I should've known. I had a feeling you would be trouble when you told the baby wasn't yours. I'm giving you an out now. My baby isn't going to have a cheating father," I said, walking away with tears streaming down my face. I got around the corner before breaking down. If this was the right thing to do, why did I feel so wrong about it?

So there is no more paradise. Next time there will be sadness and numb feelings. Also I will be doing the long awaited POV of Jace so that's coming up. Since Labour Day is this week I will have more time to work on this story! I love you guys! Stay Golden!
