Adella was squirming in Magnus' lap as they sat in the waiting room of a small clinic where Magnus' friend Dr. Wilken worked. "Stay still El." Magnus whispered to the ants-in-her-pants toddler.
"Down." Adella said none too quietly, moving about even more. Magnus sighed and released the wiggling ball of energy. She ran off to the side to play with the few provided toys. As Adella played with a Hot Wheels car Magnus watched snotty, cough-y, and pale people come and go.
Finally a nurse came in and called for 'Bane, Adella', Magnus quickly grabbed Adella by the arms and carried her to the exam room, where Dr. Wilken quickly joined them giving Adella a warm-if practiced- smile. "So, who's this little sweetie?" He asked Magnus as Adella squirmed nervously on his lap.
"My new little apprentice, Miss Adella May" Magnus told him while the doctor had him place Adella on the bed.
Little young to be learning magic isn't she?" Dr. Wilken said examining Adella's arms and legs, all coved in the rash.
"Ichy-Ichy buggy bites."Adella sang as she sat there trying to scratch her arms, the Doctor
Magnus smiled at her, and told Dr. Wilken, "She's a special case." The doctor nodded and typed things into his computer.
He then turned back to Magnus, "Adella seems to have a mild case of the chicken pox. She will need to take antibiotics for one week, and be separated from others who have either not had chicken pox or the vaccine." Magnus was handed a slip of paper so he could collect the prescription, grabbed Adella and left telling the doctor to have a good day.

On the way back to Magnus' flat Adella had fallen asleep, so Magnus was stuck juggling a sick toddler and his keys as he went up the stairs. Magnus would have to see if the shadow hunters had had chicken pox before.
When Magnus put Adella into her crib he couldn't help but stare at the little girl, who'd thought he would become so attached to the little warlock? He gazed over her little face and kissed her forehead, smoothing back still-baby-soft hair. When he'd taken in the little crying, headache-inducing, baby he never expected to come and think of Adella as his own child. Walking to the door and turning out the light he looked again at the sound asleep little toddler whispering a small "good night" he then shut the door.

Honestly I don't know where the sweet little ending came from, maybe my subconscious making up for the bland beginning? Anyway wherever it came from I love it, can you believe this is the tenth chapter? Double-freaking-digits! I didn't really think I'd last this long lol. I'm not good at sticking with things but I've had lots of support and that really helps lots, any who…hope you guys have a nice day!
