NEW CHAPTER! :D
Thanks to everyone who reads and supports out story! You guys are amazing!
We own nothing
"Jinx darling, come on" Magnus spoke from the kitchen as he saw Jinx sitting on the living room watching The Lion King on the TV
"But the movie is not over!" She whined her eyes not leaving the screen
"You promised you would get ready five minutes ago" Magnus continued
"Five more minutes…please?" The little girl pleaded
"Sorry sweetie" Magnus approached her and turned off the TV making Jinx pout "We have to get ready now"
"Why do we have to get ready?" Jinx pouted but let herself be lifted by Magnus who settled her against his hip
"We're visiting Alec's family" Magnus said
"Uncle Jace and Aunty Izzy?" Jinx asked as Magnus carried her towards her room
"And Uncle Simon and Aunty Clary" Magnus said "As well as Clary's parents and Alec's parents"
"But…where is Alec?" Jinx asked as Magnus placed her down on her bed
"He's out with uncle Jace and aunty Izzy" Magnus answered "He'll be back soon and then we have to leave"
Jinx nodded and observed as Magnus went through her closet looking for something nice for her to wear. Magnus had already dressed up and put up his make-up. He knew he had to be ready before Alec arrived or else they would leave late…or leave before Magnus could get his whole image ready. Whichever the option was, it made Magnus shudder with the idea of facing the Lightwood's wrath if they were late…or having to show up without make-up.
And now he just needed to get Jinx ready. Truth be told, Magnus wasn't too fond of the idea of taking Jinx to the institute and introducing her to everyone. Not because he didn't like them. After being with Alec for such a long time, they all had grown to become part of their family. But this was his daughter they were talking about. The little girl that had come into their lives damaged just a couple of days ago. The girl who had taken all of their attention and they cared deeply for, the same girl who still had nightmares and walked into their room in the middle of the night because he was scared, the girl who trusted so very few people.
"Can I wear the blue one?" Jinx asked as Magnus held two shirts in his hands
"Well, of course you can" Magnus smiled at her and gave her the shirt she had chosen "What do you say about the white skirt?"
"With the pants under?" Jinx asked nervously
"Of course!" Magnus answered with another smile.
"And my light-up shoes!" Jinx exclaimed running towards where all her shoes were and taking the sky blue tennis.
Magnus gave her green and sky blue stripped leggings to wear under the skirt and helped Jinx dress up. Once she was dressed Magnus started to brush her hair, which was tangled.
"Can you make it pretty?" Jinx asked as Magnus brushed her black hair
"Your hair is already pretty" Magnus told her sweetly
"But I want it more pretty!" Jinx exclaimed happily
"How about I braid it?" Magnus asked
"No! You can't braid it" Jinx said shaking her head
"Why not?" Magnus asked with mock offend
"Because it gets loose and it's not as pretty as the braid Alec does" Jinx said with a matter-of-fact tone of voice
"Well…why don't you ask Alec to braid your hair once he comes home?" Magnus asked with a chuckle
"Okay!" Jinx said happily jumping down of her bed and turned to grin at Magnus while he put her hair brush away.
Suddenly, they heard the front door unlock and open. When they heard the door get closed and footsteps walking inside the apartment. Jinx gasped and turned to look at Magnus with wide eyes, a smile spreading across her face. Magnus smiled back and told her to go. Jinx squealed happily and ran towards the front room where Alec was just taking off his coat and boots.
"Alec!" Jinx cried running towards her father, her eyes wide open and jumping into his arms as he opened his as well.
"Hello baby girl!" Alec cooed as he wrapped his arms around her waist and twirled her around making her squeal and laugh happily "How are you doing?"
"I'm great!" Jinx answered with a big smile "I watched the Lion King two times...and then Magnus helped me get dressed"
"You look beautiful" Alec praised her making her giggle some more
"Can you braid my hair?" Jinx asked sweetly "Magnus wanted to do it…but he can't do it" She whispered the last part and giggled some more
"I can do it!" Magnus exclaimed walking into the room "You just can't appreciate my magnificent work"
"You are being silly" Jinx giggled
Alec laughed and put Jinx back on the floor so he could greet his husband properly. He pecked Magnus on the lips softly and then Jinx dragged him towards her room so he could braid her hair. He made a small thin braid and then pinned it around her head so it looked like a small diadem. She smiled happily at her hair and thanked Alec with a sloppy kiss on his cheek.
Alec then took a quick shower and dressed up and together they made their way towards the institute. Once they reached it Jinx held tightly onto Alec's and Magnus's hands, looking at the big building with wide scared eyes.
"It's alright sweetie" Magnus said gently.
Alec smiled down at Jinx and knocked at the door. He no longer lived here so he felt the need to knock instead of just walking opened the door and greeted them happily.
"Aunty Izzy!" Jinx exclaimed happily, letting go of her parent's hands and running into Izzy's arms.
"Hello there Jinx!" Izzy said hugging her niece tightly "You look fantastic today!"
"Thank you!" Jinx beamed happily.
Izzy then let them all inside and lead the way towards the living room where the rest already were. Once Jinx saw all the people she jumped down of Izzy's arms and ran towards Alec, who was the last one to walk into the room. She lifted her hands up, asking silently for him to carry her. Alec understood immediately and lifted her up, settling her down securely against his hip. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder, whishing she would go unnoticed by everyone.
"Come on Jinx" Alec said gently "Come greet everyone"
"I don't wanna" She mumbled against his shoulder, tightening her hold around him
"It's alright" Alec whispered "They won't hurt you"
"Y-You'll stay here? With me?" Jinx asked fearfully as she looked up
"I'm not going anywhere" Alec promised.
Jinx nodded and turned in his arms to face everyone. She saw Magnus first and he gave her an encouraging smile, moving to stand near them. Jinx felt much safer with both of her parents close to her and so she looked at everyone.
Clary, Simon, Luke, and Jocelyn introduced themselves and Jinx greeted them shyly and quietly. Alec noticed that neither of his parents were there, which made him a bit sad but glad at the same time. His relationship with his father wasn't the best, and even though everything had gotten better with his mother, it was still a bit forced. They moved to take a seat on the sofas while Magnus chatted away with Luke and Jocelyn. Jinx had climbed out of Alec's arms and moved towards Clary who was playing happily with her.
Jinx squealed happily as Clary tickled her and in the attempt of running away, Jinx knocked against Maryse who had just walked inside the room. Jinx fell to the floor with a loud pump and knocked a chair over. Everyone turned silent as they noticed what happened. Suddenly Jinx started to cry and Alec and Magnus rushed towards their daughter, making sure she was alright.
"Someone should teach that child not to run around the house" Maryse said sternly.
Magnus turned to glare at Maryse and was about to snap back at her, but one single look from his husband told him not to.
Alec lifted Jinx in his arms once more and she nuzzled against his chest, tears running down her cheeks as sobs wrecked her small body.
"Shh…it's alright, you're alright" Alec whispered in her ear, rocking her gently "You're fine…I'm here. Shhh"
At the sight of the little girl crying into his son's arms, Maryse's face softened slightly. The little girl reminded her of Max and the only thought of it broke her heart.
"Is she alright?" Maryse asked
"She is" Alec nodded "It was just the shock"
"I'm glad" Maryse nodded and turned to look at Jinx, whose tears had stopped and was looking at her fearfully "Hello dear…I'm Maryse, your grandmother"
"Hello" Jinx said softly.
Suddenly Jinx hiccupped loudly. The little girl was surprised and covered her mouth with both of her hands. Then her body rocked up once more and she hiccupped. Everyone laughed at how adorable she was being. When Jinx hiccupped one third time their laughter was cut off with the scream of complete horror Jace let out. Everyone turned around to stare at Jace and started to laugh even louder than before.
Jace's hair had turned bubble gum pink. He glared at everyone who laughed until his eyes moved towards his Parabatai's who was trying hard not to laugh but failing.
"Stop laughing!" Jace roared and turned towards Magnus "Make her stop!"
"She's just a kid" Alec chuckled "She still can't control her powers"
"Change it back!" Jace exclaimed turning to look at Magnus who had taken a seat next to Izzy on the sofa and was laughing hysterically
"Oh no" Magnus shook his head still laughing "Too good to ruin"
"Change it back!" Jace cried desperately
Alec turned towards his husband and was about to ask him to change Jace's hair back to normal when Jinx hiccupped this time. Alec's voice died down on his mouth as he started laughing again when he noticed Jace's hair was now green.
Maryse shook her head, a small smirk on her face, and then turned towards Jinx who looked troubled with all the hiccups and what she had just made.
"Come on" Maryse said extending her arms towards her "I'll get you something to stop the hiccups and then you can have some ice-cream"
Jinx face lightened up at the mention of ice-cream and moved from Alec's arms towards Maryse. Alec's mom smiled sweetly at her granddaughter and then the both of them disappeared into the kitchen. Magnus had stopped laughing by then and just snapped his fingers making Jace's hair turn back to normal. The warlock turned to look at his husband a bit concerned of what had just happened, but Alec was just as confused.
"Don't look so surprised" Jace said bitterly "The first grandchild is always the favorite"
