A New Beginning
Malec fiction:
Alec Lightwood's life dramatically changes overnight. The reason behind it: He's pregnant. To make matters worse, he's already 4 months into it. Unknown to him and Magnus, some members of the Clave have been working with an ancient Warlock; Lucinda Cross. During the night, which considered with old magic of a Blue moon, she conducted a potion for whoever drinks it would create a child of both Warlock & Shadowhunter descent. It was however not meant for him, but for Theresa Gray. The only Warlock who can conceive. Their plan didn't work and now both Lucinda and the clan of Shadowhunters are after whoever is carrying the child. Not only does Alec have to deal with becoming a parent, he must face the ones who are after his unborn child.
A/N: Set after the last chapter of the Shadowhunter Academy series (even though it hasn't actually finished but it's set afterwards).

Chapter one...
The Accords hall looked incredible this time of year, being the middle of August and Summer was in full force across Idris. It also looked incredible as it was dressed out to the fullest of impressive decorations to mark the celebration of Downworlders and Nephilim being one as well as it being the graduation ceremony of the first elites of Shadowhunters. The hall was full of both Nephilim new and old as well as the Werewolves, Vampires and Warlocks. The Fairfolk were still not on the best of terms with them and weren't invited.
Normally Alec would have felt out of place, he wasn't one for being a party kind of guy... He left that to his boyfriend Magnus Bane. Also he left it to his siblings Isabelle and Jace but as there was so much to celebrate he came. Also with the fact Magnus was the Warlock on the council and who designed the whole of the Accords Hall for this event. He had to come. The place was decorated with a Moroccan themed, with an extra dashing of glitter and a few extra decorations which were obvious that Magnus had been in charge.
Alec was very proud of the work Magnus put into this event, it seemed as if everyone else was impressed too and the Shadowhunter who came up with the event congratulated him on a job well done. Even if it wasn't typical Nephilim tradition. Alec kept back and watched the festivities unfold in front of him. He watched his sister Izzy dancing with Simon who wore his marks with proud. He'd recently ascended and had settled in well. He was happy seeing him with Izzy, even though he was still a complete nerd. Isabelle didn't seem to mind, after all he had all his memories back and that was a good thing.
His gaze then moved onto Jace and Clary. It made Alec feel content that Jace was happy and living his life not fearing of his past or if he was a monster. Clary had made him better and Alec was happy to admit it. They made a great pair, it was only a matter of time when Jace proposed to her a few nights ago. Jace had told him how he was going to propose; back at the Institute in the green house where they first kissed. Alec commented saying how sentimental and romantic he had become. It was not a dig but a compliment and Jace smiled and hugged him. Then begged him to go out with him and kill some demons, which they did. Alec did wonder when both him and Magnus would eventually tie the knot.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself." Came a voice standing next to him. Alec turned to greet the young woman standing next to him in a very beautiful evening dress with a single jade pendant hanging around her neck. Alec knew who she was, she was a dear friend of Magnus as well as an ancestor of Jace.
"You look beautiful Tessa." Alec said greeting the Warlock Tessa Gray. Even though she was living in LA now, with her fiance Jem Carstairs who was previously Brother Zachariah, she still had her English accent.
Tessa smiled and noted Alec's attire for the evening. "And you, very handsome. Magnus is a very lucky man."
Alec couldn't help but blush. It wasn't exactly a secret that Magnus liked to dress Alec up in the finest outfits to match his eyes, tonight was no exemption. He was dressed in a dark Navy suite, with black shirt and a stunning midnight blue tie. It made his eyes shone slightly brighter, at least that's what Magnus said.
Sensing Alec's slight embarrassment Tessa smiled at the young Shadowhunter, leaned into him and gave him a kiss upon the cheek.
"I truly hope you are not planning on running away with my blue eyed Angel." Coming from Magnus, who had just joined them while holding two wine glasses and was dressed in a tailored Armani gray suit with a black sparkly tie. His hair was spiked up with sliver glitter running through it. He passed one onto Alec as he continued. "I may have to stoop down to underhand tactics." He smirked at Tessa.
Alec's eyes widened while Tessa shook her head at him amused. "If you're referring to trying to steal my Jem away from me I am certain he can handle himself."
Magnus smiled. "I am certain he can. Besides, you two have waited long enough to be wed, it's good to see you both together..." Magnus trailed off noticing the glass she was holding. "Now that, I wouldn't mind stealing from you."
Alec's eyes drew from Magnus onto the glass Tessa lifted. It was filled with a pink sparkling kind of champagne from the looks of it, at least Alec hoped it was champagne.
"This was given to me from another Warlock who's been helping out tonight. Unfortunately it's not to my taste." Tessa said holding out the glass for Magnus to take as he passed her his untouched one. "I've never met her or seen her before, does the name Lucinda Cross ring any bells?"
Magnus took a sip of the drink... "Hmm, is different. And no, never heard of her. She may be new to our world." He took another sip. "It's not bad though." He held it out to Alec. "Care to try?"
Alec looked at the glass, still reasonably full and thought why not. It's not as if Jace could see him drink this Pink sparkly thing and make a comment, he was still entranced with Clary. Alec exchanged his drink with Magnus's and tasted it.
"It's quiet nice." Alec said, tasting the sweet fruity flavour of the drink and took another taste.
"There you go Tessa, you can tell Lucy Cross her gift was appreciated."
Tessa had to laugh but did not correct her friend. "Unfortunately she's already left. I saw her talk to an older Shadowhunter.
"Ah, so it's not just us two who have ideas on Nephilim men? Looks like we've set a trend going."
Alec almost choked on the drink at that comment. Magnus looked amused and didn't seem guilty at all.
Tessa, being more sympathetic, patted Alec on the back while her eyes met upon another in the crowd. "Speaking of Nephilim men, I believe mine is waiting for me."
Alec, once recovered looked over and saw Jem Carstairs. He saw the look he gave Tessa, it reminded him of the way Magnus would look at him. There was nothing else there except for Love and appreciation. His eyes moved to Alec's as he smiled and nodded. Alec smiled back then seemed shocked as once again Tessa kissed him on the cheek, then did the same to Magnus.
"I look forward to seeing you both at the wedding." She said then excused herself.
Both Alec and Magnus watched Tessa rejoin Jem, kissing each other and holding on to one another's hand. It made Alec feel at ease knowing there was another couple out there like him and Magnus. Alec felt himself move closer to Magnus and take his lover's hand into his own.
All of a sudden Alec wanted nothing more than to be alone with Magnus. Realising he'd finished off the drink, he placed the glass down on a nearby table then turned Magnus round to face him. His eyes focused on those golden green cats eyes.
"Are you ready to leave?" Alec asked.
Magnus smiled at his lover. "Alec my love it's not even midnight yet, we have still..."
Alec silenced him by placing his lips firmly but tenderly upon Magnus's, kissing him deeply as Alec moved his arms around him, holding him close. Magnus soon felt the reason behind Alec's question and it pressed against his own awakening sensation.
Magnus pulled away slightly from Alec and took him by the hand as they left the festivities behind them.
