First day of Malec week 2017! Actually have more than two chapters done for once!
Future Scene day: Malec Family Camping Trip!
Malec Week 2017- Day 1- Future Scene: Malec Family Camping trip.
Magnus Pov- "How did it come to this," I sighed, looking around at nothing but trees and dirt. I was tricked, that's how this came to be. I was ganged up on and tricked into coming out here for a family camping trip.
It all started when my eight-year-old son Rafael pushed something big on wheels into the living room. He had it covered with a blanket so I couldn't see what was under it. Alec was sitting next to me on the couch with my arm around him while our six-year-old son Max was at his brother's side, obviously in the loop of what he was planning.
"What's this Rafe," Alec asked looking over the covered rectangle shaped thing. Rafael stood up straight, putting his hands behind his back with a bright smile. This was usually the stance he took when he was about to convince Alec and I to buy him something.
"As we all know it is my turn to pick where we go for the family vacation. I have thought long and hard about it and finally decided what I want us all to do together."
Alec thought it would be a good idea for us to take family vacations every year and have each member of the family get a chance to pick where we go. Two years ago, I decided we would go to a private island resort with sandy white beaches and fun activities for us to do. Last year Alec wanted to visit Greece so we ended up going there and having a fun time. For some reason though, Rafael choosing where we go worried me a bit.
"Have you decided where you want to go," Alec asked and I glanced at him. "Are you sure our kids are old enough to choose where we vacation," I whispered. Alec glanced back at me. "I'm sure it won't be that bad. We have to agree to whatever he says unless it's something outrageous like going to the moon."
Rafael wouldn't waste his time telling us to vacation on the moon. That feels more like something Max would do. His imagination is very big.
Rafael nodded at Alec's previous question before pulling the blanket off a big planning board. It was scattered with pictures of trees, a lake, and some tents. Everything on the board screamed outdoors and roughing it and it made my stomach drop.
"Uncle Jace and I were searching online and I found the coolest looking camping spot. It's in New Hampshire and has open fields, a lake, rivers and mountains to climb. There's a trail leading up the mountain so it's not like we really will have to climb it. We can share a big tent or better yet, have sleeping bags outside so we can sleep under the stars. Doesn't that all sound like fun?"
I was downright horrified. There was literally nothing worse I could think of for us to do. Camping means sitting in the dirt and swimming in dirty, fish infested lakes. We will get bitten by bugs and who knows what else.
"I think that sounds like a perfect idea," Alec encouraged, always up for roughing it. Max was clapping, obviously on his brothers' side from the get go, so I knew I was the only one wanting to object. There wasn't really a point on objecting since I'll be out voted.
Even so, Alexander looked at me, "what do you think about it Magnus?" I shrugged trying to look like I didn't care but it was obvious, at least to Alec anyway, that I did. "It doesn't sound like a bad idea. I mean, I'll have magic to help me out so it's not like I'll have any real trouble."
"Oh, that's another thing Papa. Jake told me all about his camping trip with his family and I want it to be just like that. That means no magic or runes," Rafael gushed excitedly.
Jake was a mundane boy Rafe met while at the park a year or so ago. They easily became best friends and it seems him and his family are the ones who put this horrible idea into my impressionable sons' head.
I stared at him dumbfounded. So, Because of them, Rafe wants us to camp like a mundane family?! No Magic or weapons to defend ourselves? Well, knowing Alec he will have weapons stashed away somewhere. The last thing Alec Lightwood-Bane would ever do is leave his family unprotected.
I glanced over at my husband, wondering what he thought about all this. He just shrugged, not looking bothered by the suggestion. "I don't have a problem with it. We will just have to keep a close eye on Max to make sure he doesn't try to use any magic."
Max crossed his arms, looking insulted, "I won't use my magic daddy." "Oh, I know you won't blueberry," he assured before looking at me with an accusing face. "Your Papa on the other hand may have a problem following the rules."
Scoffing, I crossed my arms over my chest. "How could you question my ability to withhold magic? I think I'm capable to going a weekend without it."
Alec nodded rubbing my shoulders. "Oh, yes of course you can dear. I just wonder if you can resist doing magic while camping. You aren't much of an outdoors man." Rafael frowned looking at Alec before turning his sad eyes to me. "Do you really not like camping Papa?"
I bit my lip wondering if I should tell him the truth. Camping was on the long list of things I never wanted to do. Ragnor would always try to get me to go camping with him but I always found a way out of it. He would say 'I come with you on all of your ridiculous escapades. The least you could do is come camping with me one time.' I got out of it by convincing him he would get lost in all the green of the woods.
There seemed to be no way out of it this time though. Not with my eldest son giving me his puppy dog eyes and looking like refusing his vacation idea would scar him for life. Because of that, I reluctantly agreed to the camping idea.
Now I was standing in the middle of the woods, watching Alec make sure all our supplies were in order while the boys played on the ground with some rocks. There was literally nothing but trees and a lake around here for miles. Were we supposed to entertain ourselves with Rocks?!
"It looks like everything is here," Alec cheered, before turning off his phone. I frowned seeing him do that. "Why did you turn your phone off? The institute could call you or something could happen back in New York." He shook his head walking up to me, "Jace and Clary know we are on vacation. I'm sure they can handle whatever goes on at the Institute. I don't have signal out here anyway, so it doesn't matter."
"My phone magically lets me have signal everywhere," I bragged, taking it out and checking it for messages. The moment I pulled it out Alec held his hand out for it. "Oh, no you don't, this is camping and that means everyone unplugs. We aren't using phones or any other electronics while on vacation."
Gasping dramatically, I held my phone to my chest like it was my third child. "You already took away my magic and you wouldn't let me bring my makeup or any of my cute clothes. Now you're going to take my only line to civilization away as well?"
Alec sighed. "Trust me Magnus you don't want to be dressed nice while camping. We're going to get dirty and I know how you are about ruining your designer clothes. The clothes I packed for you will do just fine. As for the phone, it technically counts with the no magic rule since magic is what's making it have signal. Now give it to me before I take it from you by force."
I cringed at the thought of Alec packing my clothes for me. Everything I picked out to bring, he rejected and eventually he got irritated and said he would just bring clothes for me. Knowing his fashion sense, it will be more practical and less stylish.
With much reluctance, I turned my phone off before dropping it into my husbands' waiting hand. He smiled satisfied and I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. "Isn't the point of a family vacation, everyone is supposed to have fun?"
Alec smiled sweetly at me before leaning up and kissing my cheek. "Don't knock this before trying it Magnus. You might come to find that camping can be a lot of fun. This is what our son wants so we have to respect that and make the best of it."
He leaned back, skimming the outfit I chose to wear here, with disapproving eyes. I chose to go simple with silver glittery skinny jeans, a light pink tang-top and a dark purple light jacket to go over it. What? That's simple to me.
"You really should go change your clothes. We're going to be getting dirty and I know you won't want to ruin those pants." I frowned down at my pants, knowing he was right. I don't even know why I bothered dressing like this. Guess it was just my last stand to reject this whole trip.
"There's nowhere for me to change Alexander, in case you've forgotten we are in the middle of the woods." Alec rolled his eyes smiling before pointing to the camper sitting not even ten feet away from us. We got the camper to drive to New Hampshire but that was about it. We weren't sleeping in it or cooking in it even though it had a kitchen and beds. All we could use it for was going to the bathroom.
Alec grabbed the front of my jacket, pulling me with him to the pile of our supplies. He let go of me when he got to it and started searching around for something. "Ah, here it is," he declared, picking up a duffle bag and turning around, shoving it against my chest.
The sudden shove caused an 'oof' noise to escape past my lips and I looked at the bag before looking back at him. He smiled, "You should go get changed now" he said before patting me on the butt as he walked away, making me jump in surprise.
I'm still not used to Alec doing things like that. He's gotten so much confidence throughout the years and he was far from that young shy boy I met at my party. Sometimes I miss that boy but all I have to do is make Alec blush and the boy is right there in front of me again.
I smiled, thinking about that for a moment before shaking my head and going in the camper. It really was a nice camper. It was huge and had a sitting area, small kitchen, a bathroom, and two small bedrooms. I wouldn't mind camping if it was happening from the safety of this camper.
As it goes though, my son wants us to be rough and tough like Jake and his family were. I have a suspicion that Jace also had a role in getting him to choose camping. He did say that Jace helped him look for a place online. Rafael knows he can't use the internet without an adult.
Sighing, I made my way to one of the bedrooms and set the bag Alec gave me on the bed. God knows what kind of hideous clothes he packed for me. Maybe I should have had Isabelle do it instead. I'm sure she knows how to pack fashionably for roughing it.
I unzipped the bag, holding my breath and dreading the worst. I let the breath out as I pulled out a pair of black jeans and a red and black plaid long sleeved shirt. Okay… so it wasn't horrible. I'm not sure I would have chosen plaid but it's a very modern plaid so that counts for something… right?
Shrugging, I put the outfit on looking myself over in the mirror once I was done. I had no makeup on or hair gel in my hair so I looked very normal. My hair was flat on my head without any product in it. I really can't remember the last time I had it like this.
"Magnus! Are you almost done in there? I need to get firewood so someone needs to keep an eye on the kids," Alec called from outside. I sighed, thinking that I could easily just conjure up firewood and we wouldn't have to go scavenge for it.
I made my way outside and Alec smiled at me, his beautiful blue eyes skimming down my body. "That looks really good on you Magnus." "I look like a lumberjack," I murmured making Alec laugh.
He walked up to me, putting one arm around my neck while he ran his other hand down my chest. "Yes, but you're a very sexy lumberjack." I smiled down at him, not able to help it and he smiled leaning up and kissing me. I kissed him back before pulling away and looking for the kids. They were both by the pile of our supplies, looking for something.
Rafael seemed to find what he was looking for, because he seemed very excited as he pulled a green bag out of the pile. He turned toward us, looking at Alec. "Let's put up the tent Daddy." Alec smiled at him, "I have to go find firewood before it starts to get dark. How about you and Papa do it together?"
I looked at Alec like he was crazy. What made him think that I was even slightly capable of putting up a tent without magic?
"Oh, Alexander I don't think that's a good idea." "Oh, nonsense Magnus. Putting up a tent is easy. All you have to do is follow the directions that come with it." Rafe looked at Alec again before smiling up at me. "Yeah Papa, let's do it together."
"I'll take Max with me for you can put all your concentration on your task," Alec offered, his voice laced with amusement and teasing. He was obviously having a blast seeing me in this situation. Glad my pain entertains him!
Max took Alec's hand and they both shortly disappeared deeper into the forest. I watched them until they were out of sight before looking back at Rafael, who was starting to pull all the rails out for the tent.
Sighing, I sat on the ground next to him, grabbing the directions and looking them over like Alec suggested. There were pictures telling me where to put everything but that didn't make it any less confusing.
"Okay… it says we need railing A-1 first. Do you see one labeled like that in the pile," I asked looking at Rafe. He skimmed the rails before grabbing one, looking it over. "I think this says A-1."
I took it from him, looking it over and smiled, seeing it was the right rail. "Okay we got the first piece. Now we need A-2." Rafael found it easily and handed it to me. I took it, looking it over before frowning at the directions, wondering how I was supposed to put them together.
"I think you have to connect that knob into one of the holes," Rafael suggested. I tried what he said and smiled when the two pieces joined together. "Wow this is so easy. And Daddy thought I would have trouble with this. I totally got this."
"You know what daddy says about congratulating yourself too soon," Rafe inquired, reminding me of how Alec always says I'm over confident. "Well this time it's justified. We're going to finish this tent no problem and then shove it in Daddy's face."
I grabbed more rails putting them all together one by one until it was in the form of a big triangle. Standing up, I rubbed the dirt off my hands onto my pants smiling. "See we did it, now we just have to figure out how this sheet thing goes on," I said holding up the green fabric that made up our tent.
Searching the rails, there seemed to be no place to connect the sheet to. I figured there would be places to stick it or tie it but there was nothing. Rafe frowned, also realizing the problem. "Papa I think we messed up somewhere."
I shook my head, grabbing the directions and looking them over. "No, we didn't mess up, I'm sure there's a way to place this sheet on." Rafe watched me before looking back at the tent, cocking his head to the side and his face scrunched up in confusion.
I bit my lip not wanting to admit that we possibly made a mistake. After congratulating myself like that I can't just fail. It would make me look like a fool in front of my eldest son. Magnus Bane may be many things, but the one thing he isn't is a fool. Though many of my 'so called friends' would disagree. Especially Ragnor and Raphael.
Taking a chance to redeem my pride, I spread the sheet on top of the triangle, watching as it fell in place and looked just like the picture on the directions. I let out a silent sigh of relief before smirking at my son. "See that Rafe? I told you I knew what I was doing."
"Wow I can't believe you actually did it," Alec's voice came from far behind me. I turned around seeing him come through the clearing of trees holding some sticks under one arm while holding Max's hand with his free hand.
Smirking, I crossed my arms over my chest. "I told you I could handle putting a simple tent together." Once he was standing next to me, he dropped the fire wood before looking over the tent with his eyes.
"Okay, what's wrong with it," he accused, crossing his arms. I scoffed, offended. "Alexander! Do you really think I'm incapable of putting up a simple tent?" "Without magic? Yes, Magnus I do. There has to be something wrong with it."
"How little you believe in me. I'm honestly astonished at you Alexander. I followed each direction to the latter" I defended, actually feeling a tiny bit offended.
Alec raised an eyebrow at that before picking up the directions, looking them over. "You put all these rails together in the right order?" I nodded rolling my eyes. "Yes Alexander." "And you put the rails through the sheet loops before putting them together."
I opened my mouth to say yes but thinking about it… I did not do that. I just threw the sheet on top, I didn't know I had to put the sheet on as I was building. Still… I couldn't let Alec know he was right. The last thing I want to see is his smug smirk.
"Of course, I did that," I finally answered. He crossed his arms, the directions still in hand. "You took a while to answer that." I scoffed, turning away from him, "well I did do it so there."
Alec watched me in silence before smiling at Rafael. "Rafe honey, did you and your papa do the step with the sheet?" Of course, Rafael, never one to lie to his father, shook his head no. "Papa just laid it on top of the rails."
"That is not true at all" I objected but of course, if I wasn't unlucky enough already, a big gust of wind came through and blew the sheet off the tent and onto the ground. Alec smirked looking down at the sheet before looking back at me. "If you did it the way the directions said, that wouldn't have happened."
I stuck my tongue at him before picking up Max, putting him on my shoulders. "Looks like you have it under control then Alexander. You can put the tent up while I take the boys to the lake." Alec smiled grabbing the sheet off the floor, "now that sounds like a good idea. I'll meet you at the lake when I'm done to catch fish for our dinner."
"Well aren't you an over achiever" I scoffed before walking away from him. His laughter came from behind me, meaning he found my irritation funny. I'm sure he finds this whole situation I'm in hilarious.
"Papa are you mad," Rafael asked looking up at me. I looked down at him frowning. "Of course not, little man. I'm just not used to being outdoors. Once we're by the lake I will feel better, promise."
I'm seriously not mad. Sure, Alec is having a little too much fun at my expense but I already knew that was going to happen. He thinks I can't get the hang of camping and he's right I can't. I'm not meant to be setting up tents and making a fire pit or whatever it is you do when camping.
Max started bouncing on my shoulders, pointing out ahead of us. "Look papa, the lake! The Lake!" I smiled up at him before looking ahead at what he was pointing at. As he said, a big lake stretched out before us, the sun shining down on it making it sparkle.
"Wow," I whispered, feeling breathless from such a beautiful sight. "Come on papa let's go," Rafael gushed, pulling my hand to make me go faster. He's strong for an eight-year-old since he's been training with Alec. Him pulling me made me almost drop Max off my shoulders. Luckily, I had a good hold on him so all he did was fall forward a bit.
Once we got to the lake I put Max on the ground, walking up to the edge to determine how deep the water was. It seemed okay for Rafe but Max should have a lifejacket. "You'll need a lifejacket Max," I said turning back to him. "We'll have to go back to get it."
Max looked back where we came from before just making a purple lifejacket and his swim trunks appear on his body. I bit my lip looking back at Rafael who didn't seem to notice what happened. He was too busy looking in the water. I looked back at Max, putting my finger to my lip, telling him this will be our little secret.
Max put his finger to his mouth in agreement and I smiled dropping my hand. My little blueberry was just so adorable. His skin is as blue as the lake and his hair is an even darker shade. Shadowhunters give him strange looks but I think he's perfect the way he is.
Rafael walked up frowning slightly when he saw the lifejacket. "Where did he get that?" "I had it with me the entire time Rafe. Didn't you see him wearing it on the way here?" Rafe shook his head no and I smiled, "your dad put him in it. You must not have noticed."
He narrowed his eyes accusingly at me but let the subject drop as he turned around and started undressing. He was wearing his swimsuit under his jeans which was a smart idea. I was still in my jeans and long sleeved shirt so there was no way I could go into the lake.
I sat down in a patch of grass, watching as Rafael grabbed Max's hand and jumped into the lake with him. It caused a big splash almost hitting me but I quickly moved my legs out of the way. "hey, watch where you splash."
Max popped up in the water laughing and splashing around in delight. Rafe on the other hand wasn't anywhere to be seen. Frowning, I quickly stood up, rushing to the edge of the lake. "Max, where's your brother?"
Max looked around before shrugging. My heart started beating a mile per minute in a panic. Rafael was an excellent swimmer so he wouldn't have drowned, right?
Before I could go into a full-on panic attack, I felt something behind my legs push me so I was falling forward. Crying out in surprise, I closed my eyes as the cold water engulphed my body.
When I resurfaced, Rafael was standing there laughing his little head off. "Wow Papa, I can't believe it was so easy to push you in."
I glared up at him, not happy with how he went about tricking me. "Rafael Santiago Lightwood-Bane! I was terrified that you hit your head and drowned. You do not go out of my sight; do you hear me?"
Rafael nodded looking down guiltily but his body was still shaking with laughter so I don't think he took me seriously. "I won't do it again Papa. I just thought pushing you in the lake would be funny."
I stared up at him with a blank expression before smirking and splashing him making him gasp out in surprise. "Take that you little brat," I boasted, before going further out in the water. I was already in, so might as well have fun with my boys.
Rafael jumped into the water causing a big wave on water to fly over me, drenching me further. He laughed once he came back up and I just splashed him again laughing as well. He splashed me back, both of us getting in a heated battle.
Max laughed moving closer to us and joining the fun. He started splashing me too but his weren't as big since he had such little hands. I moved over to Max, wrapping my arms around him and twirling around the water with him making him laugh and hold around my neck.
"I want to be spun too," Rafe cheered, jumping on my back making all three of us burst out laughing. I shook my head at my silly children before looking up, seeing Alec leaning on a tree watching us with a sweet smile on his face.
"You want to join in the fun," I asked smiling back at him. He shrugged holding up a camera and taking a picture of us. "I'm enjoying watching." Rafael looked up at him smiling, "come on daddy get in with us!"
Alec pretended to think about it before smiling and setting the camera on a picnic table nearby. I watched him take off his shirt, whistling in delight. "Yeah baby, take it off!" He looked at me with a huge dark red blush. "Magnus, don't say things like that in front of our children."
I couldn't help but laugh at his embarrassment. There's the old Alec I know and love. He rolled his eyes at me smiling slightly, before jumping into the water, making a wave hit the three of us. Max laughed, letting go of me and swimming over to Alec once he came up. Alec grabbed him, throwing him into the air and catching him again.
A few hours later Alec and I sat on a log in front of a bonfire with the moon and stars hanging above us. We all got finished cooking and eating fish that Alec caught with his own bare hands. Watching him catch them was very impressive and a little sexy if I was being completely honest.
The moment we finished eating dinner, both Rafael and Max passed out next to the fire, making Alec carry them both to the tent for some much-deserved rest. We had a very eventful day messing around in the woods.
Once we were done playing in the water and catching fish, we came back to the sight to get a fire started. Alec dared me that I couldn't make a fire without magic and I took him on. Of course, he ended up being right. I grabbed a few sticks and rubbed them together and nothing happened. After I finally admitted defeat, Alec grabbed a couple rocks and hit them together until they sparked into flames on the firewood.
Once the fire was started I played tag with the children while Alec stayed by the fire and cooked our fish to perfection. I don't know why Alec's outdoor skills surprise me so much. I'm sure growing up, Shadowhunters must learn survival skills. Making fires and living outdoors should be a walk in the park for him.
"They were so excited about having smores," Alec sighed contently, laying his head in the crook of my neck as I wrapped my arm around him. There was a slight chill in the air but Alec's body heat and the fire were enough to keep me warm.
"Guess they will have to wait till tomorrow," I mumbled, laying my head against Alec's. He nodded, before leaning forward and grabbing a big bag of marshmallows, some chocolate, and crackers. I raised an amused eyebrow at him, "what are you doing with those?"
"What? Just because our children aren't having smores tonight doesn't mean we can't have any. I've been waiting for this part all day." Shaking my head, I couldn't help but laugh at my adorable husband. "You act so serious all the time; these random moments of childishness always throw me off when they happen."
This caused him to scoff as he stuck a mellow on a stick. "There is nothing childish about smores. You are never too old to enjoy gooey, chocolatey goodness." I playfully rolled my eyes at him as he held the stick out to me. "Be childish with me and eat some smores. You know you want to."
"Only if you feed it to me," I teased, smirking at him. He looked at me, searching my face for a moment before shrugging saying, "that's fine with me." My eyebrow raised in surprise. "You'll really feed me a smore?"
He nodded pulling the marshmallow he was holding, away from the fire and he crushed it between two crackers and a piece of chocolate. "I don't mind feeding you but you better feed me right back." I laughed, shaking my head at my crazy husband. "Of course Alexander."
I held the marshmallow Alec handed me closer to the fire and once it was mushy enough for my liking, I repeated his process of making the smore. Once it was ready, I turned my body toward him so we were facing each other. "Let's feed each other at the same time."
Alec's eyebrow rose in question. "Is this going to be a repeat of our wedding reception when you shoved the cake full on in my face?" "You have to admit that was fun," I beamed, before shaking my head no. "I have the feeling Marshmallow would be harder to get out of your hair then frosting."
"Noted," Alec agreed before holding his smore out to me. I held mine out to him and once we were close enough, we both took a big bite. Surprisingly enough, my smore wasn't messy. Alec made the perfect portion of chocolate and mellow so it didn't seep out of the sides. The smore I made for Alec however wasn't as nicely made. The goo dripped down his chin as he pulled away and laugher escaped his lips as he tried to wipe it away, causing it to stick to his fingers.
"Well that's not what I planned to happen at all," I chuckled, looking around to make sure the coast was clear before swiping my hand and using magic to clean him up. He thanked me with a smile before shaking his head at me.
"What's so funny," I asked raising an eyebrow at him. He looked into my eyes, his full of love and happiness. "Thank you for agreeing on this camping trip Magnus. I know it's the last thing you wanted to do for a vacation but it means a lot to our son. He is so happy to be out here with all of us. He's happy because of you."
"You're giving me too much credit Alexander. You're the one who knows what you're doing out here. I couldn't set up the tent properly and I forgot to grab Max's life jacket. There's no way I would have been able to make a fire without magic and if you didn't pack my clothes for me, I'm sure I would be very uncomfortable."
He shrugged, laying his head on my shoulder and looking up at the stars. "I always wanted to go camping with my family but my parents thought it was a waste of time. They never liked the idea of doing mundane things like this. I enjoy these memories we get to share with our children."
I smiled, happy that Alec was having just as much fun as the kids. "Is camping as bad as you thought," he asked, looking at me once again. I pondered my answer for a moment before shaking my head no. "I thought it was going to be this dirty, obnoxious, exhausting trip but it has actually been a lot of fun. Swimming with our kids and telling stories around a fire while we cook dinner. Those are memories you can't make at a fancy resort."
Alec's smile brightened his face as he laid his head back down on my shoulder. "I love you so much Magnus. Next year, I promise we will pick a place everyone can agree on. We won't ever gang up on you again."
I pulled away from him, raising an accusing eyebrow in his direction. "Oh please, I don't believe that for a moment. The day you and our sons stop ganging up on me is the day I stop wearing glitter, which is never."
Alec sighed, putting his face in his hands trying to conceal a smile that was plastered on his face. "Okay, you may be right about that. Still, I promise to give you more of a fighting chance and I also swear to have your back against the kids when you really want me to be."
"You, having my back occasionally would be nice," I agreed smiling. Alec nudged me with his elbow causing me to bust out laughing. "I do have your back most of the time… it's just hard to say no to the kids," he mumbled the last part adorably.
"I'm aware of how hard it is to say no to our children. We will both lose that battle there's no fighting it. They will forever have us wrapped around their little fingers," I sighed, smiling to myself. Alec nodded, looking behind us at the tent the boys were currently sleeping in before looking back at me, his eyes shining.
"I can't even remember what our lives were like without our boys." I smiled reaching over and caressing his cheek gently with my thumb. "I can't remember what my life was like without you. I've lived hundreds of years… yet these years I spend with you and our sons are now, and always will be the best. There will never be anyone else who makes me as happy as you do."
A small smile crept up on Alec's lips before he leaned in and kissed me softly. I kissed him back, moving my hand away from his face to wrap my arms around his waist. He wrapped his arms around my neck not breaking the kiss and the feeling made me go to cloud nine.
Nothing makes me happier than being with my family. Playing with my kids and kissing my husband were things I never wanted to take for granted. If going on a dirty camping trip and making a fool of myself was what I needed to do to make them happy, then I would happily do it over and over again for the rest of my life.
"I love you Magnus Lightwood-Bane," Alec whispered softly against my lips. I smiled against him mouth, looking deep in his baby blue eyes.
"I love you too Alexander Lightwood-Bane. Forever and always."
Tomorrow: Disney AU- Malec crossed over with Pixars Inside Out.
