A/N: Soooo it's been awhile huh lol? I'm reposting chapter 7 because I don't like the way I ended it and want to fix it :)

Chapter 7:

"Afternoon sleeping beauty," Alec smiled as Magnus walked into the kitchen. "Glad to see you join the living."

"Ha ha," Magnus deadpanned and accepted the cup of tea Alec handed him and walked over to the couch managing to sit with some grace.

Three months along and he was already starting to show. It wasn't by much, but it was more than when he'd been carrying Nia. He grimaced feeling a little wave of nausea creep over him and swallowed another mouth full of tea.

"How you feeling?" Alec asked sitting down next to him.

He laid his arm across the back of the couch and Magnus stretched out with his head lying on Alec's shoulder, his ankles propped up on the couch's arm rests. This one was a dark blue love seat with a matching one to it's left. It was a lot comfier than the sectional and much more nice to cuddle on.

"I'll be fine once I drink my tea," he answered and took another sip.

Catarina had given it to him when he confessed to feeling like crap nearly every day. It was supposed to help with the nausea and give him an appetite. It helped a little, made him feel more alive at least.

Alec kissed his forehead and massaged the back of his neck.

"Jace and Simon took Nia out for the day. She wanted to go and buy something for the baby," Alec told him.

Magnus smiled. "She's sweet just like her papa."

"I honestly thought she was gonna get upset about this," Alec admitted. "New baby...and all."

"She know's she's always going to be your little princess," Magnus assured him. "And she has stated on numerous occasion's she'd like a sibling."

"True," Alec nodded. "With Max gone...she'll have another playmate, once the baby's old enough."

Magnus drank some more tea and set the cup down once it was empty. "Come with me to run a few errands? I need more wolfsbane and mandrake root, few little odd's and ends."

"Love too," Alec smiled.

Magnus got up and took a shower before drying his hair and tying it back in a bun with a pair of chopsticks. He chose a pair of black jeans that hugged his legs but weren't skin tight and one of Alec's sweaters. It was deep burgundy. A present from Isabelle that Alec wore from time to time and that Magnus liked to wear when he had the inkling. He chose flat's instead of heels. He didn't feel like getting dizzy and a black scarf to pull it all together.

Alec was just pulling on his shoes when Magnus stepped out. Black skinny jeans with a grey t-shirt that hugged his biceps and a leather jacket. So simple yet so sinful.

"Like what you see?" Alec teased catching his gaze.

"Always," Magnus answered.

He walked over and Alec caught him by the waist and they kissed. Magnus practically melted into it and let out a pleased hum as Alec's finger's skimmed along the hem of his shirt. It felt like that they were just dating again. Intense with just a hint of underlying softness to it.

"We should get going, market'll be packed by the time we get there," Alec pulled back slightly and brushed some of his hair back.

"I hate how right you are," Magnus sighed and grabbed his keys as they walked out.

Alec called Jace to let them know where they were going. He held Magnus's hand, intertwining their fingers.

"Let's bring Nia next time," Magnus said as they walked through the market.

Demon's and werewolves, and fae all mingled together. Alec kept his grip on Magnus's hand firm but gentle. He never got used to coming here. Seeing all the downworlder's and even, unaware, mundane walking around.

"Here?" Alec asked looking at him. That didn't sit well with him.

"Why not? She'd love it," Magnus replied. "Just because she has nephilim blood doesn't mean she can't enjoy this side of the world."

"I never said that," Alec assured him. "I just...do you think she's old enough?"

"You seem to think she's old enough to learn shadowhunting technique's," Magnus pointed out. "She'd be fine with us. The whole point of the market is so that we can all co-exist together peacefully."

He had a point. The first time Alec had come with him, he got looks but no trouble. Magnus's thumb stroking the top of his hand brought him out of his thoughts.

"Next weekend then? Family outing?" Alec offered a small smile.

Magnus squeezed his hand and they continued on. Alec stayed relatively quiet, letting Magnus do all the talking while he got what he needed. Alec picked up a few things as well. He liked the tea's a few of the vendor's sold. Plus the one Catarina had given Magnus could only be bought here and they were running low.

Alec smiled amused listening to Magnus mutter under his breath about his stupid cravings while he ate a cone with three scoops of vanilla ice cream, complete with rainbow sprinkles on their way home.

"Next time stop me when I see anything remotely sugary," Magnus said. "Because I will just like it up..."

He laid down on the couch with his head in Alec's lap and laced his fingers over the swell of his abdomen.

"Boy or girl?" He asked.

"Girl," Alec answered.

"Another? Not a little boy?" Magnus asked.

"I like having a daughter," Alec answered. "What about you?"

"I wouldn't mind another girl," Magnus replied. "Or a boy..."

"What if they're nephilim?" Alec asked.

"I'll still love them Alec, you know that," Magnus answered. "Besides, I thought you wanted five kids. This is only baby number two."

Alec leaned down and kissed him. "I thought I was getting snipped after four."

"Maybe I changed my mind," Magnus mused.
