Two WiPs, a new series, you would think that would be enough to keep me busy. But no, this morning I wake up with this rattling around in my head. I guess Maxine and Mikey were feeling unloved. :D

Enjoy.

Maxine is sitting in a chair in Magnus' office. Mikey is in her lap, as Magnus works on a potion.

Maxine giggles as she looks at Mikey's hand. His red mark goes from his fingertips, where mundanes have fingerprints, down his palm, past his wrist and halfway up his forearm. But only on one side. She turns his hand over, and the other side is olive skinned. She looks at the side of his pinky finger and it is half red and half olive colored. All his fingers and both arms are like that.

She kisses his hand, "Weird."

He giggles and kisses her cheek, "Weird."

Magnus laughs, "Blueberry, after a year, you are still fascinated by his mark."

She nods, "Because it's weird, Poppa."

Mikey giggles, "Weird Poppa."

Magnus laughs, "Hey, are you calling ME weird, raspberry?"

Mikey giggles, "Love Poppa."

"Oh, just making sure."

Maxine giggles, "Poppa, Max and me are blue all over, but Mikey's mark is weird."

"Max? Must you include Max in every conversation?"

Maxine smiles, "Max is awesome."

Mikey giggles, "Love Max."

Magnus laughs, "Yes, I got that. But to answer your question, Maxine, warlock marks just happen. There is no one kind of mark. Your mark is a different skin color, my mark is cat eyes. Another warlock may have horns or scales or hooves."

Maxine's eyes widen, "Hooves? Like a horse?"

Magnus nods, "I knew a warlock centuries ago, and he had hooves instead of hands."

"Wow."

Mikey giggles, "Wow."

Magnus nods, "Yes, and when he got drunk, he lost his glamour."

"Okay, Poppa, that might be weirder than Mikey's mark."

Magnus smiles, "Exactly, blueberry."

Mikey smiles, "Daddy."

Magnus laughs, "What about Daddy?"

"Love Daddy."

Magnus laughs, "Oh, just letting us know, in case we forgot."

Maxine giggles, "Poppa, was there ever a time when you didn't love Daddy?"

Magnus pours the potion into a vial, and shakes his head, "Not that I can recall. You have to remember, Maxine, I've known him since he was a boy. He's lived here since he was seven. I watched him grow and become the man that you know. What began as fondness, became affection then love."

"It was awesome, when Max took us to your wedding."

Mikey giggles, "Awesome."

Magnus laughs, "I suppose Max's fathers' wedding was just as awesome. From what I hear, Alec's first wedding was decent as well."

Maxine wrinkles her nose, "The only decent thing about it, was Not Poppa showing up."

Magnus nods as he puts the vial in a mini fridge, "You're right about that, blueberry. Hmm, the potion needs to chill before I can take it to the client, how about we take a peek at his first wedding?"

Maxine giggles, "You can do that, Poppa?"

He nods, "I may not have Max's skills with connecting portals to computers, but portal windows I can handle."

Maxine giggles, "This should be fun."

Mikey claps his hands, "Fun."

Magnus nods, "Let's go in the living room." Maxine stands and carries Mikey as they leave the office.

Magnus sits on the sofa, Maxine sits next to him, with Mikey on her lap.

Magnus opens a portal window, as they get comfortable.

They see Jace1 standing with Alec1 at the altar.

Mikey giggles, "Not Daddy and Uncle Jace look beautiful."

Magnus sniffs, "That jacket looks horrible, not beautiful, Mikey."

Maxine giggles, "Not Daddy's or Uncle Jace's?"

"Not Daddy."

Maxine giggles, then asks, "Who's that guy, Poppa?"

Magnus' voice is cold, "Robert, Alec's father."

She looks at Magnus, "He's the one that "h" "u" "r" "t" Daddy?" She smiles at a confused Mikey and kisses his nose.

Magnus nods, "That's him. And that guy over there is Hodge. He also is dead because of THAT."

Maxine nods, "Good." She hugs Mikey.

Mikey points, "Aunt Izzy looks pretty."

Maxine giggles, "Yes she does." Magnus nods.

Lydia1 walks into the Hall.

Maxine shrugs, "She's pretty, but she isn't Not Daddy's type."

Magnus laughs, "No she isn't, blueberry."

"Not Daddy looks terrified."

Mikey looks at his father, "Where's Not Poppa?"

Magnus kisses his cheek, "Soon, raspberry."

Mikey nods, "Soon."

Lydia1 has a stele in her hand.

Maxine grabs her father's arm, "Poppa, make her stop."

He holds her hand, "It's not up to me, Maxine."

Mikey screams, "Not Poppa is here", as Magnus1 walks into the room.

Maxine giggles, "That was close."

Magnus nods, "Yes it was."

Magnus1 and Alec1 stare at each other.

Maryse1 says, "Magnus, leave this wedding now."

Maxine's eyes widen, "Grandma really told Not Poppa that?"

Magnus nods, "I guess so."

Magnus1 says, "Maryse, this is between me and your son. I'll leave if he asks me to."

Maxine giggles, "You tell her, Not Poppa."

Lydia1 talks to Alec1.

Maxine chews on her lip, "Not Poppa looks nervous."

Mikey nods, "Nervous."

They watch as Alec1 walks down the steps towards Magnus1. Maryse1 walks over to her son, "Alec, what are you doing?"

Maxine shakes her head, "Get away from him, lady." Mikey nods.

Without breaking his stride, Alec1 tells her, "Enough."

Maxine giggles, "That's right."

Alec1 walks up to Magnus1, grabs his lapels and kisses him.

Maxine and Mikey scream as Magnus claps.

"By the angel, what is going on here?"

Magnus closes the portal window as Maxine sits Mikey on the sofa. She stands up and walks over to her father, "Not Poppa just crashed Not Daddy's wedding. It was awesome."

"Oh, then I can understand the excitement."

Mikey walks over. Alec picks him up and kisses his cheek. Mikey giggles, "Not Daddy almost married a lady."

Alec laughs, "Almost doesn't count, Mikey."

Maxine giggles as she wraps her arms around her father, "Max said that his fathers had a lot of drama before they got married and I guess this counts as drama."

Alec kisses her head, "This definitely does."

Magnus walks over to them and kisses his husband, "It doesn't matter what kind of drama there was, as long as they are together."

Alec smiles, "I'm sure they will agree with that."

"Hmm, you are home early."

"Things got quiet, so Izzy told me to go home."

"I knew there was a reason why she was my favorite sister-in-law."

Alec laughs, "I'll be sure to tell Clary that on Monday."

Maxine giggles, "Oh oh Poppa in trouble."

Mikey giggles, "Aunt Clary gonna be mad."

Magnus shakes his head, "Wow, talk about a bunch of back stabbers."

Alec kisses him, "I would never pick a lady over you."

"Hmm, that does make me feel a bit better."

Alec raises an eyebrow, "Just a bit?"

Magnus laughs, "Okay, a lot better."

"Good."

"I have a potion to take over to Mill Basin, then we can do something when I get back?"

"Sounds like a plan."

Magnus nods. He walks into his office and gets the vial out the mini fridge. He walks out and kisses Alec, "Be back soon."

Alec nods, "We'll be here."

Mikey nods, "Right here, Poppa."

Magnus smiles and kisses Mikey's head. He kisses Maxine's forehead, "Be right back, baby girl."

"Okay, Poppa."

He opens a portal and leaves the loft.

Mikey giggles, "Nap time." He grabs Maxine's hand.

Maxine giggles, "Come on Daddy." She grabs Alec's hand.

Alec laughs, "Poppa's going to be mad."

Maxine giggles, "We can do something tomorrow."

Alec nods, "True. We'll blame Mikey."

Maxine nods, "All Mikey's fault."

Mikey giggles, "All my fault."

They walk into Alec and Magnus' bedroom and get into bed.

When Magnus returns to the loft, an hour later, he isn't surprised to see his husband and children fast asleep. He stands by the doorway and smiles. Maxine is on Alec's right and Mikey is on his left. Magnus goes over to his side of the bed and lays in back of Maxine.

Mikey opens his eyes and looks at him. Magnus leans over and kisses his forehead, "It's only me, go back to sleep."

Mikey gives him a sleepy smile, "Poppa, it's my fault."

Magnus covers his mouth, so that his laughter won't wake up his family, "Bad Mikey."

Mikey grins and closes his eyes. Magnus rests his head against Alec's, and closes his eyes.

-the end- ?

I have no idea where this came from, but since Max has peeked into different AU's, I guess it's only fair that one of the AU's peeked into Max's world.

Speaking of Max, I have wee Max stories to get back to.

Hmm, even though, I kind of want Magnus2 and Magnus (and the kids) to discuss Alec's not wedding. Hence the question mark. Opinions on the subject, would be greatly appreciated.

As always, love you. xoxo
