Prologue

Magnus Bane thought he had everything before he found her. He had Alec, friends, and can't help to mention: a good amount of money from all of the recent portal requests. But it all changed when he was walking home from New York City. And the Herondale Family has a little problem. The Lewis family didn't have any better luck when it came to rejection, not to mention poor Isabelle Lightwood has a problem with her lovelife.

Chapter one

Rejection

"I don't get it Alec! I thought you wanted something to bring this family closer!" Said Magnus Bane gesturing to him, Alec, and Chairman Meow.

"And I thought we said to get a puppy or a kitten!" said Alec

"Chairman Meow wouldn't like a dog being here, and do you seriously think that kittens are manly? You're a Shadowhunter for Liliths sake!"

"But how do you think we could raise it? Did you just expect them to have the sight, or be a child of the Lilith, Moon or Night? Or even be a faerie, or a Nephilim?"

"No, but why can't we just... foster, or something?"

Alec had a smirk Magnus had never seen on his boyfriend's face.

"You know what? Just- FORGET IT!"

As Magnus stormed out of the room Alec felt a huge stab of guilt and suddenly wished he hadn't started that conversation.

On the way out Magnus saw Simon, he must have ran out of blood, Maia was in Wyoming visiting family, so she couldn't get him any blood.

He started to open his mouth and Magnus silenced him "Not right now Simon!"

Chaptertwo

Found

As he stormed away from home Magnus heard crying. Baby crying! He ran over to where the crying was coming from and he found a baby girl, sitting in a little stroller, she was beautiful, and when she opened her eyes they were a beautiful golden brown and they had, was it

curiosity?

Simon figured he'd go inside to see if Alec were okay, but then again, he didn't want to invade but before he could decide, Magnus rammed Into him "Hey! I thought you left!" Magnus explained as he regained his balance. "What is that?" Simon gestured to the stroller.

He reached into his glittery cape and pulled out a vile of red liquid and handed it to Simon.

"Is this what you wanted?"

"Thanks but-"

"Goodbye" Magnus cut him off and went to the door, and inside.

Clary was awakened by a shattering noise, as if someone broke the vase she and her mother had been working on. As she got up Jace walked in the room, blood and ichor all over him, his hair matted with sweat. "What the hell have you been doing?"

"Well there was some Raveners, and the kids saw them and somehow found my weapons and went out there, so I went out cause I heard Aidan scream, and..." The look on Clary's face was one she only had when the subject was on her father: rage.
