"Uh…Isabelle how soon can you come over?" Magnus asked his voice panicked as he looked around his loft.
"Why?" Isabelle answered sounding tired.
"Because I accidently turned your brother into a five year old and lost him." Magnus answered.
"WHAAAAATTT?!" Isabelle yelled into the phone. Magnus pulled the phone away as she shrieked.
"Just come over, a five year old Shadowhunter running around the streets of New York isn't good!" Magnus said and hung up.
Flashback:
Magnus had been mixing random potions together; he forgot to label them and left them out while he went to his room to change his clothes.
"What are these?" Alec asked when Magnus had left the room.
"Potions, one of them is a recovery one if you want to try it." Magnus called out.
Alec shrugged and tried a blued color one, the room started filling with blue smoke as soon as he tried it. Alec had closed his eyes as the smoke surrounded him, he opened them back up and looked around. The room looked bigger. Magnus had reentered the room and stared at Alec in horror.
"Oh crap, Alec." Magnus said.
Alec giggled.
Magnus noticed how big his clothes were now and conjured up clothes that were smaller versions of the clothes he was wearing.
"Come on Alec let's go change out of those big clothes." Magnus said picking up the now child sized Alec. Alec giggled again and squirmed in Magnus's grip.
"Maggy, let me go…" Alec said. Magnus sighed and quickly poofed the child clothes on Alec and let him go.
"Let's play Hide and Seek, ready go!" Alec said and ran off.
Magnus followed and gulped as he saw his door was opened.
"Oh crap…" he said and ran out, wondering how far a little kid could go.
"Alec! Alec! Where are you?" Magnus called looking around desperately.
Back to Present:
Magnus sighed as he waited for Isabelle and heard a loud series of knocks. He opened the door it and Jace and Isabelle entered.
"Now explain to us what happened." Isabelle said glaring at Magnus.
"I was mixing potions and left them out when Alec came home, I really did mix a recovery potion and told him he should try it, he did and went I came back into the room he was adorable, pint-sized, and well a little kid! He ran outside and now I can't find him! And a little five year old Shadowhunter is going to get noticed by someone." Magnus said causing Jace to sigh.
"Did you try tracking him?" he asked.
"Yes, but I can't seem to find him! Look let's just look around, even as a little kid he should be predictable, right?" Magnus asked.
"I'll ask Clary if she can check the Institute." Jace said and pulled out his phone.
"I'll check Central Park. Magnus check around your loft." Isabelle said and left the loft.
Magnus nodded and went to his room.
"Clary said she'd check around the Institute, I'm going to check around the neighborhood and see if I can't find him." Jace called out and left.
Isabelle looked around, frowning as she saw pale, black haired kids everywhere. She was about to give up on the park when she saw a giggling little boy approach her.
"There you are." She said sounding relieved, she grabbed Alec's hand and dragged him out of the park.
"Izzy I don't wanna leave!" Alec said fighting her the whole way.
She sighed, she had to go through the same thing with Max.
She turned around to face him. "I know the park's fun, but look it, your rubbing your eyes, let's go home and we can come back another time." she said sweetly.
Alec pouted but nodded.
'I get to be a big sister again!' Isabelle thought smiling internally as she headed back to the loft.
They headed inside and Isabelle smiled. "Found him." she said happily.
Magnus sighed and ran back into the room his heart melting as he saw Isabelle sitting on the couch with Alec's head resting on her lap.
"I texted Jace and Clary once I got back. But, is it bad that I want Alec to stay like this?" Isabelle asked looking at her brother.
"Is it bad that I have mixed feeling about this too? A part of me is thinking "Look he is super adorable I want to keep him." the other part is all "He's my boyfriend I want him to be 18 again." It's just, if I can't find a cure, what should I do?" Magnus asked with a sigh.
"I don't know." Isabelle said and looked up as Jace walked into the loft.
"I have serious mixed feelings about this right now." He said staring at his Parabatai.
Clary walked in next and stared at Alec. "He is so cute! I say we keep him like this." She said smiling largely.
"I guess we have no choice until Magnus finds the cure." Jace said rubbing the back of his neck.
The Following Night:
Magnus had loaned out his spare rooms to Isabelle, Jace, and Alec; he didn't feel comfortable sharing a room with a child. He had moved to the Living room to look through his spell books. He had been so invested in his books that he didn't even hear a door open until he felt a hand pull on his.
"Maggy wanna play?" he hear a small voice ask.
He looked down and saw little Alec staring up at him with big blue eyes.
"What are you doing up?" Magnus asked bending down so he was eye level with Alec.
"I had a scary dream." Alec said softly.
Magnus smiled and stood up. "Come on, let's go back to bed." Magnus said grabbing the child's hand and leading him back to his temporary room.
"Maggy stays with me?" Alec asked crawling into bed.
"No, not tonight, I have work." Magnus answered and got a cute pout in response.
"Fine. Meanie Maggy." Alec grumbled and turned away from Magnus.
"How'd about we play tomorrow?" Magnus suggested.
"Really!" Alec asked turning to look, his eyes bright and innocent.
"Yeah, but only if you go to sleep." Magnus said.
Alec frowned and looked down at his blanket. "Can you, leave the light on? The dark is scary." He said cutely.
Magnus smiled and nodded leaving the light on as he left and closed the door.
'If it wasn't for the fact that we're dating I would so want to leave him a kid, he is so cute!' Magnus thought as he looked at the closed door.
The Next Day:
Isabelle sat on the floor playing with her now little brother while Jace and Magnus tried to find a cure. Isabelle smiled at Alec's gentle features while the two played and sighed as her phone vibrated in her pocket. She looked at it with Alec peeking over her shoulder and answered it.
"Hey mom, we're over at Magnus's." Isabelle looked down at Alec and bit her lip as her mother spoke. "Yeah Alec's here too, it's just that there was a situation and he can't talk to you right now." She said and frowned. "Well, he tried a faulty potion that turned him into a child, how old? Uh, five…" Isabelle said holding her brother's hands back as he reached for the phone. "You will? Uh, okay I'll see you soon, bye mom." Isabelle hung up the phone and sighed.
"Mom's coming over." Isabelle said putting her phone back in her pocket.
A few minutes later a loud knock came from the door. Magnus sighed and with a flick of the wrist opened the door as Maryse Lightwood entered.
"Hey mom." Isabelle greeted from her place on the floor.
Maryse nodded at her and smiled at her son, loving the idea of re-raising him. Alec smiled back and walked over to her giggling the whole way. She picked him up and looked over at Magnus.
"We don't have to find a cure, right? I mean we could let him grow up all over again, right?" Maryse asked walking over to the warlock with a giggling little boy in her hands.
"I kind of want my Parabatai back, even if he is adorable." Jace said looking over at Alec.
"I love having him like this too, but it's too weird, for everyone." Isabelle said standing up and stretching.
"And even if he is adorable, I want him back to how he was before, you know because he is my boyfriend." Magnus said looking up from the spell book he was reading.
"But you don't have to find a cure right away right?" Maryse asked tickling her son's small stomach earning tiny laughs from little Alec.
"I want to find the cure really fast but I also don't, mostly because he is super cute and stuff." Magnus said waving a finger over at the mother and son.
"Mama Izzy was just playing with me, come on play too!" little Alec said with a smile as his mother let him go.
"Seriously I have mixed feelings about this!" Jace said staring at the little boy playing with blocks with his sister and mom.
"I think everyone but Maryse has mixed feelings about this." Magnus said with a sigh.
"And Clary, she thinks he's adorable and said that if there wasn't a cure she was going to adopt him." Jace responded sighing as well.
"Good luck getting him past mom." Isabelle said with a laugh.
"Alec do you want to come back with me?" Maryse asked her son.
Alec shook his head. "I want to stay with Maggy and Izzy!" he said causing everyone to 'Awe!' at the display of cuteness. Jace laughed and bent down by the child.
"What if I went with you? Would you want to go with mama then?" Jace asked and Alec shook his head.
"I don't wanna go with no Izzy and Maggy." Alec said hugging his sister tightly and sticking his tongue out at Jace. Isabelle and Magnus started laughing.
"Looks like he's not going with you Jace." Isabelle said once her laughing stopped.
"What if Izzy went with, would you go then?" Jace asked.
"If Maggy and Izzy go, I'll go too." Alec said hugging his sister tighter.
"Maggy has to work though, can't you just go with Izzy?" Jace asked hoping to pursue the five year old.
"Will Maggy come and play with me?" Alec asked innocently. Jace snorted.
"I'll come see you everyday." Magnus said.
"Really! So can you come with me now and play with me in my room?" Alec asked while Isabelle and Jace laughed.
"Little kids shouldn't talk like that." Maryse said but smiled.
"But I like Maggy." Alec said.
"Oh come on kid, your making this too easy for me!" Jace said shaking his head. Alec blinked wondering what was funny.
"Well come on, Alec, Maggy will come by later." Isabelle said grabbing the little boy's hand.
"Fine. Bye Maggy!"
Cute right? if you like I will continue this sorry people, but please tell me your thoughts so far.
