Summary: Afternoon
"How about Jakie?" Jace asked, he, Izzy, Clary, and Simon had decended on Magnus and Alexander and their yet unnamed daughter and had offered to help name her, their phones in hand as they searched the internet for the prettiest names.
"I've never met a nice Jakie." Simon said, "Amy is pretty, and Zoe means life."
Magnus sighed, "What do you think, flower?"
The girl was cuddled into Alexander's chest, watching the excited group warily.
"I like it when you call me flower." The girl said quietly.
"How about Rose?" Clary offered.
"Overused." Magnus waved his hand.
"Jasmine Bane sounds pretty." Izzy said slyly.
Alexander blushed and Magnus wiggled his eyebrows, "Let's handle one naming at a time, Alexander can wait, our flower can't."
"How about Flora?" Simon said.
"I don't like it." The child said.
"What about Forsythia?" Alexander said.
"Forsynthia Bane." Magnus tried and wrinkled his nose.
"Too long." The child said, matching Magnus' expression.
"Crisantha?" Jace suggested, "We can shorten it to An."
The girl shook her head, "Mister Alec? I'm hungry."
"What shall we have?" Magnus asked.
"Pizza!"
"Chinese!"
"Italian!"
Several voices shouted at once making the child flinch.
"Calm down." Magnus demanded, "Let's get pizza, is that alright, sprout?" Magnus asked.
She nodded and smiled.
"Phlox." Alexander said suddenly, "They are a type of flower and they love the sun."
"Wow, Alec, I didn't know you knew your flowers." Izzy teased a suddenly blushing Alexander.
"Phlox Bane." The little girl tried, "I like it."
"And we can call her Phox for short." Jace grinned, "You can keep your flower and sprout for you and Magnus."
The girl stared at him intently.
"If you like that that is, petal." Clary said, giving Jace a look.
"Will everyone call me Phox?" Phlox asked.
"Nah, just us." Jace told her, "And actually it'll probably just be me."
"Okay." Phlox smiled shyly.
"And I'm uncle Jace, alright, kiddo, you're family now."
Phlox nodded surprised.
"Lunch is here." Magnus said, smiling at their little family as they decended on the pizzas he set on the table, Alexander rescuing a couple slices for Phlox and himself, sharing happily with Magnus when Magnus reached over to take a bit of Alexander's pizza rather than risk losing a hand to the other hungry Shadowhunters.
