A/n: Hey everyone! Here is chapter three to No more hiding! I hope you liked the last chapter. I felt like it was a pathetic piece of writing. Anyway, I decided to update again because I got a snow day today! Yeah. Its barely stormy out and I don't got school! But its great, besides the fact that I am bored out of my skull. I guess updating this story is a form of entertainment.
Wait. That reminds me of: for your entertainment by Adam Lambert! I love that song! Its amazing! Ans so is sleepwalker by him .. who else agrees?
And as of right now, I got everyone of Tokio Hotel's songs. Every single one of them! Last night I was counting off all the songs that I had by them to my Dad and he called me crazy! I am not crazy, but a very very big fan of the aweomest band alive!
If only they came here to where I live, for a concert. That would be the best thing ever! It would, it would, it would! Hahaha, I'm a tad bit too bored!
Anyway, enough of this really long and really weird Authors note!
Lets get on with the story!
Third Person POV:
Alec and Magnus sat in the car. They were in front of the Lightwoods house. A strange feeling had come between them. It was suffocating. Alec sighed and turned to Magnus with wide eyes.
"Should we go in now?" He asked.
Magnus took a deep breath. "Yes" He sighed.
The climbed out of the car. Magnus walked over to Alec and entwined their hands. Alec's heart thudded hardly against his ribcage. It wasn't from Magnus' warm hand in his, it was what they were going to tell his parents.
They were so sure they made the right decision. Alec knew that he and Magnus were about to take on a big responsibility. But it was the right thing to do.
They came up to the big white door and stopped for a minute. Magnus looked at Alec. He was frowning slightly.
"Are you completely sure about this?" He asked.
"I couldn't be anymore sure, how about you?" Alec replied.
"I'm completely sure" Magnus said, with a smile.
So with that, they walked inside. Like yesterday everyone was waiting for them in the living room. When they entered everyone looked up at them with hopeful eyes. Alec shifted uncomfortably under everyone's gaze.
"So, um.. me and Magnus have come to a conclusion" Alec said.
"And what would that be, Alec?" Maryse replied.
"We'll temporarily adopt Lucy" He said, with a smile.
"Oh that's great, Alec!" Maryse said, happily.
"So where is she?" Magnus asked.
"She's upstairs in my room, I'll go get her now" Maryse said, and then ran up stairs.
It was quiet for a few minutes in the room. Until Robert broke the silence.
"You, do know that taking care of a child is a big responsibility. Right?" He asked.
Alec and Magnus nodded their heads. They knew what they were dealing with, by taking Lucy under their care. Alec was thankful that it was the weekend. It only meant they had one day of school. And that gave them the weekend to figure out what they were going to do with Lucy, when they were at school.
Maryse came down the stairs with a tired looking Lucy. Alec smiled when he saw her. He was already acting like a father. It was adorable. Well to Magnus at least. No one else knew what to think of it.
Maryse walked over to Alec and handed her to him. He smiled down at her and nuzzled her cheek with his own. She giggled delightedly.
"Hey there, Lucy. Ready to go home?" Magnus said, lightly.
She giggled shrilly and clapped her hands together.
"I'll take that as a yes" Magnus laughed.
Maryse stopped them before they got the chance to leave the house. She explained a lot of things to them. But it more like lecturing them. So told them, to make sure she was fed, bathed, played with and other things like that. And the important one that she never did fail to forget to tell them: never let her out of their sight.
They said that they understood that they were taking on a great responsibility. And they left the house in a rush. Magnus had some of the things that Maryse bought for her, and the well used pink car seat was still in the back.
They strapped her in and got in the car. They put on their seat belts and drove off towards their apartment.
All the way there Magnus would make a funny face in the rear view mirror whenever there was a green light. It would make Lucy laugh loudly. Alec knew that Magnus was more excited to have Lucy living with them, then he let on.
When they got to the apartment, Magnus parked the car. A little terribly. But Alec figured that was because of excitement. He got out a little slowly. Magnus was already getting Lucy unbuckled form her car seat when he was getting out.
Alec grabbed her things and then they brought her up to the apartment. When they got in Magnus let her down and followed her as she roamed the place. She caught sight of Chairman Meow and started to chase him. Magnus' expression was priceless. It was one in between horror and shock.
"The poor kitty didn't even stand a chance.." Magnus muttered sadly.
"That's what you get when we have a cat, and we 'temporarily' adopt a three year old" Alec told him.
They heard a high pitched mew come from the kitchen. Alec and Magnus looked at each other and ran into the kitchen.
They burst into the room, to see Lucy holding Chairman Meow by the tail. She was standing up so that wasn't helping either. She looked up at them with her big green eyes, and giggled mischievously.
"Lucy! That's not nice. Put Chairman Meow down, young lady" Magnus scolded.
She gently put the cat on the floor. She looked up at him again.
"Now, pet the kitty. It will let him know that your sorry" Magnus continued.
She bent down and started to pet Chairman Meow's head. Alec turned to Magnus.
"Well, we know she's pretty smart for her age" He commented.
"Very. Maybe we can start to teach her how to read.." Magnus trailed off.
Alec shrugged. "Maybe".
"Lets make her a snack!" Magnus said excitedly.
"Okay.." Alec replied.
They made her a grilled cheese sandwich, with some apple juice.
"Lucy!" Magnus called out.
There was no squeal of reply. Magnus' forehead creased.
"Where is she?" Magnus muttered to Alec.
"I don't know!" Alec said, worriedly.
Their first night with Lucy living with them, and they already lost her. This was the exact thing that Maryse thought was going to happen. They took off out of the kitchen.
"Lucy! Where are you to?" Magnus called out.
"Magnus, how about we split up.. and try to look for her?" Alec suggested.
"That's a great idea! I'll look around up here and you can look upstairs" Magnus said.
Alec nodded and went upstairs. He search down the hallway. He saw no sign of sighed and walked into the bathroom. Still no Lucy. He looked in every other room. He searched and searched, until he came to the last room. His and Magnus' bedroom. He walked in and what he saw made him start to laugh.
There at Magnus' vanity sat Lucy. She got at Magnus' makeup. She had it all over her face. But the things that Alec was more worried about was A) She also did Chairman Meow's makeup. and B) She got at his glitter. And what was worst she put Magnus' favorite glitter (the extra sparkly purple one, that he only used on rare occasions) all over the cat and in her hair.
"Uh, Magnus I think you should come and see this" Alec called out, once he calmed down from his laughing fit.
Alec heard Magnus run up the stairs. He burst into their bedroom. He looked at the mess the three year old created.
"Ack! My glitter and my poor kitty!" Magnus cried.
Alec rolled his eyes. Of course only Magnus would be worried about his glitter and his cat. And not about how they were going to get Lucy cleaned up.
"Uh, Magnus. How are we going to get all of this glitter off her and the cat?" Alec asked.
"Were going to give them a bath of course!" Magnus said.
"So whose going to wash the cat?" Alec asked, nervously.
Magnus had a wicked glint in his eyes. "You".
Alec's eyes widened. Chairman Meow could tolerate Alec, sometimes even like him. But it crossed the line when someone gave him a bath.
"Oh no!" Alec muttered.
Magnus smirked and took Lucy to the bathroom. Alec was left in the room with Chairman Meow.
Come on, Chairman.." Alec muttered.
About two hours, and a whole bunch of cuts later Chairman Meow was finally cleaned, and rid of glitter. Alec vowed to never give another cat a bath ever again. Magnus came to see how Alec was doing.
"Alec? What happened to you!" He cried.
"Ask your cat" Alec spit out the last word like it was a demon they were talking about.
"Well, what did Chairman Meow do to you?" Magnus asked.
"Well, since you had a brilliant idea and let me give him a bath.. he decided he wasn't going to co-operate with me. So when I put him in the water he jumped out and held onto my arm. That's how I got the cuts there. When I put him in the water for the second time, he jumped out yet again and clawed at my chest. So I'm sure there's cuts there too. And you don't even want to know how I got the cuts on my face" Alec explained, and then shuddered at the last part.
Magnus started to laugh. Alec didn't find this funny. He sat on the cold tiled floor and pouted.
"Its not funny.." Alec muttered.
"Your right its not" Magnus said, after he calmed down.
"Thank you!" Alec exclaimed.
"But now your pretty face is all marked up.." Magnus said sadly.
"Hey, they'll be gone in a few days.. then my pretty face will be better" Alec said.
"Cocky now, Lightwood?" Magnus smirked.
"Maybe.." Alec replied mischievously.
Magnus grabbed Alec's hand and pulled him off the floor. He pulled Alec close to him. Magnus smirked again, as Alec's all too common blush formed on his face.
Magnus brought his lips down to Alec's. Alec sighed contently and wrapped his arms around Magnus' neck. Magnus smiled. They stayed like this for a few minutes before Alec broke away. Their breathing a little heavy.
"We have to check on Lucy" Alec said breathlessly.
Magnus nodded. He didn't want another glitter accident. They looked around the upstairs, trying to look for her. But in the end, they checked their room.. again. But when they opened the door, their hearts melted.
There, on their bed laid Lucy. She was snuggled up in between their pillows. Sound asleep. She looked adorable. Magnus smiled, and Alec sighed.
"Shes so adorable.." Magnus muttered.
"Yeah" Alec replied, then yawned.
"Lets get ready for bed, shall we?" Magnus suggested.
Alec nodded. He went to their closet and pulled out a pair of pajama bottoms. He went to the bathroom and changed. When he came back out, Magnus was already dressed in his pajamas and cuddled up with Lucy.
Alec walked over to the bed and got in. Trying not to shake it too much by getting on it. He didn't want to disturb Lucy or Magnus. He got under the blankets and wrapped an arm around Lucy and Magnus. Lucy stirred a little, and snuggled into Alec's chest.
He smiled and closed his eyes, drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
A/n: Well there you have it! Another chapter to No more Hiding! And it was a fluffy one too! I'm wondering if there is going to be any real angst or something like that! Because so far, all I written was fluff! But fluff is fun to write! And so is angst..
Oh! Did you know that 'angst' is German for fear? I thought that was pretty cool when I found out!
Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter!
