"HI, where here to see Alexander Lightwood he has admitted here three days ago."
"Are you Maryse and Robert Lightwood?"
"Yes." They answer together.
"I'm sorry, but you're not allowed anywhere near this patient. His guardian said no one by whose name will be allowed to see him."
"But he's our son, and we're his parents, surely this must be a mistake."
"No, I'm sorry ma'am but it's not. I could let you speak to his guardian if you would like."
"Yes, that would be nice. No one has the authority to banned me from seeing my son."
The nurse dials the room and waits for someone to answer. "Yes hi, I have a Maryse and Robert Lightwood here to see Alexa Lightwood. But they aren't allowed upstairs, would you mind coming to explain to them the situation? Thank you."
"They will be with you shortly, in the meantime, you can wait in the seats behind you."
"Thank you."
The couple waits until they hear heel footsteps approaching them. They turn their heads and grimace. The woman smirks evilly. "Robert, Maryse how long has it been since the last time I saw either of you? What are you doing here? She asks nicely.
"Sophia. We're here to see our son, and what gives you the right to across as his legal guardian? You don't have the permission to do that."
"Actually I do Maryse." She chuckles. "You see when you toss your son out at the age of 17, you lose your rights to be his parents. You see we've been meeting with lawyers for years and when you threw him out on the street with nothing, everything fell into place. You no longer have a say in anything he does, I do. So if he doesn't want you here, then you aren't allowed near him." She hands them each an envelope. " You've been served. From now on, you are to stay 50,000 feet away from him. Meaning you can't be here, now have a great day!"
Maryse steps into Sophia's face with pure rage and Sophia matched her rage. "Let's get one thing straight Maryse. I've never like you, from the day Robert brought you into our home and introduced you to us as his fiancé. I knew right then you were evil and was only with him for his money. You never actually cared about him, but he's still too blind to see it. You've treated Alec like he was the stepchild of your family, while you treated the other two like they were your pride and joys and even got them to turn against their own brother. The one that raised them while you two were out on vacation having affairs."
They both gasps, but Maryse didn't back down.
"Oh yeah, I know all about the two of you, and so do your children. You thought you were keeping it under wraps, but dear old Isabelle found out her daddy was an unfaithful cunt, and so was her whole of a mother! Now, what do you have? Three kids that want nothing to do with you after what you said about their sweet brother at his workplace. Everyone can testify against what you said, hell it's on camera so there's no use in lying because they've seen the footage. Now, Maryse you might want to step out of my face sweetie because you and I both know that you're all talk, but I'm not. Don't let these heels, and dresses fool you. I will beat your ass up and down this fucking hospital, and take that charge for protecting mines. The question is would you?"
They stared at her with shocked and wide eyes, and couldn't say a thing. "You have no right over Jace and Isabelle. They still live under our roof, and are still minors."
Sophia chuckled innocently. "You act as if I care. I love those two true indeed, but not as much as I love Alec. You see, I've raised Alec all his life, don't you remember? You would leave him home alone, so you could travel the world together? I took him in, when you wanted nothing to do with him, he's my son. Not yours, I only wish I could've taken him from you all those years ago, but my mother begged me not to. " she shook her head. "I should've followed my gut, but God works in mysterious ways does he not? You've lost such a gem, and it's too late for you all to see it. Now get your cheating asses the fuck out of this hospital before this call the police and tell them you're violated the restraining order."
She watched them leave and smiled as she made her way back upstairs to see her darling nephew. They were taking his tube out his mouth since he woke up not long ago. Sophia was hoping by the time she reaches his room, it's out and he's alright.
"His throat will be sore for a few days, but with the antibiotics and the pain medication, he as good as new. Now we've run some tests again, just making sure all of his organs are working properly, and good news they are. So by the end of the day, he should be healthy enough to go home and rest. Now, I know he's going to give you problems because he's a stubborn asshole, not to worry we have something to help him sleep. We've noticed with the dark circles around his eyes, that Alec hasn't been sleeping. It seems like days at a time, so I've prescribed some sleeping pills for him to take, do not mix them with his pain medicine. But with the prescription I prescribed him, they should knock him right out anyway. Now, I will send a nurse up with something soft for him to eat." Tessa says to me. I thanked her before she left the room.
Alec was staring at me with this loving expression and it made me feel good inside. He gestured for me to come to him, and I did with no hesitation.
"Hi." He croaked out. I slapped his arm shushing him.
"You shouldn't be talking. You just got a tube removed throat and it looked like it fucking hurt. Now I need to talk to you about some things you may or may not like."
He frowned but waited for me to continue. I cleared my throat and began speaking.
"Okay, so I know you said you wanted to wait until May for us to move in together, but that was just a caution if we broke up right?"
He nods and still looks confused. Oh God, he is sexy, it should be a fucking crime.
"Well we are never breaking up, and you are such with me for the rest of our lives. I moved all my stuff in yesterday, and it's sort of a mess. I know own I'm sorry, but I need time to organize my closet. There's so much room, I might have to order extra shelves for my shoes. Are you okay with this? I don't want to impose on anything."
He chuckles and pulls me closers to him, almost pulling me on the bed beside him. "Magnus, I told you I wanted you to move in with me weeks ago. I thought you would've done it by now. I didn't expect for you to actually listen to me when I said I didn't want anyone to see the house yet. It's our place, and I want you to have just as much say as I do. You can decorate the loft any way you want it but leave my workspace alone. No one enters my workshop Magnus and I mean it! I will be installing security cameras in the house so I would know when someone peeks around my things." Alec coughs a bit. "But I'm happy that you made up your mind. Now, what about your parents? What did they say about you moving in with me?"
I laughed. "They helped me pack my bags. Traitors! They said we should've gotten our own place years ago with all the time we spend together. They made me promise to let them visit once you're better and the house is together. I didn't let anyone inside, I knew you wouldn't be happy with that, but the couches that you bought are so fucking comfortable! So is the bed we picked out, So when you get out the hospital we are going to have some fun in that bed aren't we?"
"Damn right we are," Alec whispers out.
We were so wrapped in each other's world we didn't know we had an audience until they cleared their throats. We both looked to our right and smiled brightly. Sophia was standing there with BZ and Catarina. They looked amused but didn't say a word.
"How is my darling nephew doing? Better I hope because, after with you, you're going to end right back in the very damn room! What we're you think Alexander Gideon? You could've died! You risked your life for your upcoming show, which I understand. But never have I done it with the risk of my health. You should've to take some time off and worked from home! Alec, you can make a full line in your sleep, you don't need to be at work to do so. So as of today, I am ordering you to take the rest of the week off and trust your team to handle things at work. Ragnor can check on the production, and Cat can train your models to be runway ready. Everyone knows what they have to do cupcake, you hired them for a reason. I need to fly back to Paris, I have my own shows to prepare for and also prepare for your show in March. So I leave you in the capable hands of your boyfriend, your second in command, and the honorable BZ, but he's taking me to the airport. Also, your parents stopped by and tried to cause a scene, but not to worry darling, I handle them easily. They aren't allowed 50,000 within you. They might as well move to another state, but they might try and drag Jace and Izzy with them. But I doubt they would get far. Now, BZ if you please."
She kissed us goodbye and made her way to the airport again. Alec pulled me down and kissed me hard, long and passionately. Damn, I missed the taste of his lips. He tried to pull away, but I deepened the kiss not letting him escape. He giggled into the kiss, causing me to laugh. He is the cutest teddy bear ever.
"Ahem" Catarina cleared her throat getting our attention. We rolled our eyes at her, but she acted like she didn't see it. "What can we do for you Cat?"
She rolled her eyes and just smiled at the two of us. "Well, it's good to see that you are alright boss. Everyone is worried about you, we've been updating them on your condition, and they put together a card for you. I'll just leave it on the table, you'll get to it later. Also, I have exciting news!"
"Okay, what's the news?" Alec asked hesitantly.
"I finally broke Simon and Clary! I mean you have to see them when you get back to the office. They look amazing. They might even be thinking about a career in modeling! I'm excited!" She claps and bounces on the balls of her feet. We laugh and congratulate her before she joins us on the bed making Alec laugh so hard he's crying.
I love hearing that sound. It warms my soul, and I want to hear it all the time. A nurse brought Alec some jello and some strawberry ice cream which we all shared as we watched project runway season 6 and critique their work like we always do.
A few hours later Alec gets discharged and is giving specific instructions to rest, and not stress himself out. Which I attend to making sure he is stress-free. *wink* We still have a lot to unpack so we'll just spend the next few days getting the house together, and while I'm at school he can work on new designs I know he's itching to get out. We make it home, and BZ helps bring Alec inside the house because his back is sore from the fall, and his chest hurts a lot from where they pulled the tube from.
We thank him before he leaves and I help my baby down the stairs. "Do you want to rest on the couch or in the bedroom?"
"Well seeing as our bedroom is probably covered in your clothes, I'll opt for the coach, plus I don't think I can really make any more movements. I'm in pain at the moment." He winced as he sat down on the couch, I don't like seeing him in pain. Ugh! Dammit! Stupid sickness.
I help him get in a comfortable position before I run to get him a blanket, and a cup of juice for he can take his medicine. "Hey, while you're sleeping, I'm going to run to the store to get a few groceries. Do you want anything specific?"
He shook his head no. "I would rather have you, but that'll have to wait for a few days. You know what I like and don't like, but make sure you get tons of Popsicles, it'll help with my throat. Also, I'm dying for a Big Mac, large fry, and 2 apple pies, with a caramel frap. Can you get that for me?"
I burst into laughter. "Don't ever change love. I'll get whatever you want. But I'm not leaving until I know own you're okay and asleep."
"Okay." He nods. "Take my card and get whatever we need for the house. Because I know you're dying to finish your closet. So if you need extra storage things, then go and get them. I'll be okay by myself for a couple of hours, don't worry baby. If I wake up and you're not here, I'll call you. But could you please bring me a new sketchbook from the room and my pencil set?"
"Yes. I will get that for you." I kissed his precious lips then walked to get his art supplies. When I returned he was half asleep, trying to keep his eyes open. Like a little puppy fighting his sleep. I cooed at the sight.
"I didn't want to sleep without you. Can you hold me for a few minutes?" He says groggily.
"Of course darling." I take off my shoes, and leather jacket and join him on the couch. It's wide enough for us both to lay on it without falling. He snuggles into my chest and wraps one of his arms around my waist mumbling "I love you" before sleep overtook him. I kissed his forehead, rubbing his back as he slept. My eyes started getting heavy, and soon I was falling asleep with my sweet angel. The store would just have to wait until tomorrow, for now, I'm going to rest with my love, and nurse him back to health.
