A/N: These are my submissions for Makec Week 2017. This is for Day 1 - Future Scene. This is also posted on Ao3 and tumblr.
Magnus and Alec were lying down in bed starting to drift off to sleep. It had been a long day of obnoxious clients and demons, and, as a recent addition, a crying baby. The two of them had adopted a baby werewolf that was in custody of the Clave after his parents had been killed. They named him Michael.
So, the two of them were wrapped up together in bed, Alec's head laying on Magnus's chest, and Magnus's face buried in Alec's hair, just trying to fall asleep after their long, hard day. And, of course, as they were about to drift off, is when the baby started to cry.
"I'll go get him." Alec mumbled, voice muffled by Magnus's chest.
"Ok, Alexander." Magnus mumbled back.
So, Alec got out of bed,mans walked down the hall to the nursery. Michael was in his crib, crying loudly, face red. Alec bend down, and scooped the little boy up into his arms.
"Hey there, Michael. What's with all of these tears, huh?" Alec whispered to the crying baby. Alec went to gently pat his bottom. He doesn't need his diaper changed, Alec thought to himself. They just fed him not even an hour and a half ago, so he can't be hungry. Alec just decided walk around the room, gently swaying him, shushing him softly, and whispering loving things in his ear. Eventually, he decided to bring him into his and Magnus's room to see if Magnus could help.
"Hey, Magnus? Are you awake?" Alec asked.
"Well, I am now." Magnus replied, with slight annoyance in his voice. He wasn't annoyed with Alec or Michael, he was just really exhausted, and he really just needed some sleep.
"I'm sorry, Magnus. I know you're exhausted, but I need your help." Alec said, his voice apologetic. "I can't get Michael to stop crying."
"Ok, then. Bring him over here." Magnus said, and Alec brought the baby over to him. "Hey there, little one." Magnus cooed at the baby. "It's time for you to sleep. It's been a long day, and your daddies need to sleep." He said, stroking Michael's tiny, soft cheek with his finger.
"Maybe we should lay him down on the bed with us. He probably just wants someone to be with him." Alec whispered to Magnus.
"Yeah, maybe. Let's try it."
They Magnus gently laid Michael down on the soft mattress, and Alec staed to soothingly rub his stomach, while Magnus wiped the tears from his little face.
"See? He's already starting to calm down." Alec said softly.
After a few minutes of doing this, Michael stopped crying, only making little whimpers now. After he finally fell asleep, Magnus pulled the covers over him up to his chest.
"Wow, it's so quiet now." Magnus said, relief in his voice. "You sure do come up with great ideas." He said, a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, well, I try." Alec said, a blush spreading to his cheeks.
Magnus put his hand on Alec's face, and stroked his cheek. "Good night, Alexander. I love you."
Alec smiled. "I love you too, Magnus."
"And, I love YOU, little one." Magnus whispered to the sleeping baby. "Good night." He leant down to place a kiss on his soft cheek.
After they both said their good nights to each other, and to the baby, they both finally feel into a peaceful sleep.
