"Please!" Alec couldn't believe his eyes, the foir of them were ganging up on him! He lookedfrom his partners to his sons, tjose pleading eyes.

He blamed Izzy for that newly learned technique. Sure, it was cute when Max and Rafe did their little puppy-dog eyes routine. But Jace and Magnus were another story. For them the technique bordered on irritating and idiocracy.

Jace, just had to bring the kitten here, Alec thought disgruntly. The kitten had Magnus wrapped around it's little claws; the second Magnus opened the door to the soaking pair. Jet black fur and sapphire eyes .

Yep, Magnus never stood a chance. And now, Alec was the lone adult in the room.

"Jace, why did you bring the kitten with you here?" Alec asked his parabati, as he watched the group play with the kitten.

"I figured it was time my nephews had their first pet!" He exclaimed drawing cheers from both Max and Rafe.

Eyes narrowed, Alec said, "well if that was the case, I was thinking more along the lines of a feathery pet." With that he through a meaningful smile at Magnus who was quick to catch on.

"Yes, dear, I know the perfect pet!" With a wave of his wrist, Magnus gave a blast of blue sparks!

Once the his sparks had cleared away, Magnus was left clutching his hands together. Ad if he had caught a butterfly.

He quickly thurst the bundle of sofy down feathers at Jace.

It took him a moment for his brain to register what it was... A DUCKLING!

Jace took off like a vampire!

"You think he'll be back?" Magnus asked as they stared at their front door, that now hung limply off two of the three hinges.

"Yes, sadly, he will be back." Alec sighed.

"So, can we keep it?"

"Yes...
