Just a reminder, that no matter how much stress and angst, I put Max and his fathers through, there will always be a fluffy ending.
My apologies before we get started.
Enjoy?

Alec and Jace chase demons down Flatbush Avenue. They kill them and look around for more. A portal opens up and out walks Lamar.
Alec looks at him coldly, "Finally showing your face."
Lamar laughs as he flicks a hand at Jace. Jace blinks his eyes and slowly walks into traffic.
Alec screams his name as a car hits Jace and he is thrown to the sidewalk. His neck is at an odd angle. Alec screams as he grabs his side. He falls to his knees as he sees that his Parabatai rune is gone. Jace is dead.
Lamar laughs as tears run down Alec's face, "I've killed your Parabatai. I've killed your sister. I've also killed your husband and son."
Alec looks up at him and sobs, "Magnus."
Lamar sneers, "Dead."
Alec lowers his head as the seraph blade slips out of his hand.
Lamar walks over to the grief stricken ShadowHunter and calmly breaks his neck. Alec slumps to the sidewalk dead.

Max wakes up screaming.
Alec runs in. He sits on the bed and pulls Max into his arms. Max holds him tight and sobs into his tshirt.
Magnus runs in and sits behind Max. He rubs Max's back.
Alec gently kisses his head and whispers, "It's okay Max."
Max finally calms down, but he continues to hold the back of Alec's tshirt tight in both hands.
Magnus strokes his hair, "Max talk to us."
Max shakes his head and holds Alec tighter.
Magnus and Alec glance at each other over Max's head.
Alec sits back against the pillows and rests Max's head against his chest. Magnus lays next to his husband and continues to rub Max's back. Max is safe in between his fathers.
Alec kisses his head and gently says, "Hopefully us being here will allow you to get some sleep. You will tell us in the morning."
Max holds Alec tight and whispers into his tshirt, "Okay Daddy."
Magnus kisses his cheek, "Whatever it is Max, we won't let it happen."
Max looks at him with tear filled eyes, "I hope so Poppa."
Magnus gently wipes the tears from his face, "Get some rest."
Max nods and holds Alec tight. He puts his head back on his father's chest and listens to Alec's heart beating.
Magnus reaches for Alec's hand and rubs his thumb across his husband's knuckles.
Alec whispers, "Magnus, we can handle this."
Magnus nods, "I know." He leans over Max, and kisses Alec. He rests his head against the pillow and closes his eyes but it is a few hours until he finally falls asleep.

Not exactly sure where this is going. Max's nightmare popped into my head and it seemed interesting enough to use as a starting point for a new story.
I'll just slowly walk away from the computer before anybody gets violent.
I love you even though you are probably cursing me out. xo
