Special thanks to my Beta, RueRajaram. Without her I would have quit this story. Hugs!

Two weeks. That's how long it's been since Magnus woke to Alec's dead body. He may have promised him that he'd stay strong for the kids, but how could he do that when they all reminded him of his husband in one way or another? Every day he'd get up and go to the cemetery. He had convinced Alec's mother to bury him the mundane way. Isabelle and Simon had taken the kids from Magnus when they realized he was not able. They now lived in the Institute with Isabelle.

Magnus heard the leaves move behind him and looked up at the woman next to him. She was just has she had been years ago when Magnus first met her.

"Tessa. What are you doing here?"

"I came to pay my respects. I may have not known him specifically, but I know his husband. How are you, Magnus?"

"Broken." Tessa hummed at that and looked at the tombstone.

"'Alexander Gabriel Lightwood, Brother, Son, Husband, Father, Protector.' He sounds like he was a great boy."

"He was. Tessa, my dear, you haven't lost your gift have you?"

"No, why?"

"Could you bring him back?"

"I could try. Do you have anything of his on you?"

"Yes." Magnus pulled a golden chain from under his shirt and unclasped it, handing it to Tessa. She looked at it and noticed two rings hanging from it. "They're his wedding and engagement rings. I never take them off."

Tessa smiled at that and then closed her eyes, turning into Alec. She then pushed the spirit of Alec out of her body, turning back into herself. There was a wisps of blue smoke floating aimlessly around the grave. Tessa looked at it and spoke on word,

"Return." The blue smoke went into the ground and soon the ground shook like a mini earthquake. When Magnus opened his eyes, that he hadn't noticed he'd closed, there was a small split in the earth. He looked in it to see Alec's coffin. He was about to open it, but Tessa stopped him.

"Magnus, there may be some flaws."

"Flaws?"

"Yes. Parts of his brain may not work properly or he may have forgotten something."

"How?"

"Mags, you know I can't completely change into any one person. There will be some flaws in even tiny transformations."

Magnus looked at her and then turned back to the coffin when he heard banging. Alec was awake. He opened it slowly and smiled at Alec. He smiled back, and then frowned.

"Do I know you?" Magnus looked at Tessa in panic. His baby boy didn't remember him.

Review, please!
