Chapter 25:

It had been a week. Alec was still in coma mode, and Magnus was getting very frustrated. He'd been too late. Or maybe he had used the wrong spells. Something was terribly wrong. Alec should be awake by now. He just didn't know why his little shadowhunter wouldn't open his eyes. He missed that unique shade of blue. He missed the life in his eyes. He missed his laugh and his kiss and his touch.

It was like half of his heart just wasn't beating anymore, and he was barely alive. "Alexander, you have to wake up soon."

He was stroking the dark hair on Alec's head. Pleading him silently to wake up, he let the tears slide down his face.


Alec was sitting on a grassy hill. The sun shone brightly. "Where are we, dad?" He asked Robert who was sitting next to him.

"This is Idris. Don't you remember it?"

Alec looked around him. The green grass, the flowers, the blue skies all looked familiar. It was like he had dreamed of this place before. He could see towers in the distance. Alec nodded finally. It had been years since he had been there. He had been a young boy.

"This knoll is where I died." Robert said. Alec looked at him for the first time. He was wearing his gear. It was like the picture he had of him. He looked about twenty-five years old.

"You're so young." Alec was shocked to realize how young his dad had really been when he died.

"It's all part of the life, son. We don't have as long as most people." He shrugged. "My life was short, but it was a good one. I had two amazing children who I love." He put his arm around his son. "I had the love of my life. Some people never get that."

"I do." Alec whispered it.

"I know. I watch you, and your sister, and Maryse." The way he said Maryse's name was like music. "I miss you all the time, but I get to see you. I get to know you are happy. Your mom did a great job with you both." He pulled Alec in close to his side. "I am proud of you." He put a kiss on top of his son's head.

Alec had wondered how his dad would take it, him being gay. It didn't seem to bother him. "Life is what you make of it, Alec. Remember that. Love who you love and live like you have no tomorrow."

"Am I dead?" Alec was scared to know the answer.

"Are you?" Robert asked. It was such a dad thing to do. Letting you children figure it out on their own.

Alec didn't feel dead. He felt sad, and he felt tired. If he was dead he wouldn't feel tired or sad, would he? "I don't think so." Alec said.

"Then I guess you aren't." Robert stood up and helped Alec to his feet. "It's time for you to go."

Alec threw his arms around his dad. He could just stay here with him. This wasn't fair. "Daddy, don't leave again." He was crying. Tears streaked his face. He held him tight.

"Alexander."


Magnus was squatted next to the bed. He was holding Alec down to the bed. He was thrashing and whining in his sleep. It wasn't like a seizure but Magnus was scared. He didn't know what to do. He was afraid to stun him with Magic. This was the first he had shown any life.

"Alexander," He whispered in a calming voice. He petted his hair and kept cooing his name.

Alec stopped thrashing. He opened his eyes.

Magnus pulled him into a hug. Knowing deep down he shouldn't move him so quickly like that, he didn't care. "Oh, Alec. I have been so worried."

Alec was weeping. He wrapped his arms around his love. It was bitter sweet. He was with the love of his life, but he missed being with his dad. Magnus tightened his hold while he sobbed. They didn't talk for a long time. Magnus just held him.


They sat at the table. Jocelyn and Luke were back. Clary was sitting next to her mom and Jace was on the other side holding her hand. Izzy had Simon next to her. Luke had taken it upon himself to take Simon under his wing. He knew a someone who had become a werewolf and was able to help him. Luckily he lived in the city and was part of the local pack.

Magnus was there next to Alec. He was keeping close to him all the time now. Alec hadn't told Izzy about the dream or vision or whatever he had with his dad in it. He had told Maryse. She had sobbed in her hands. She smiled at Alec when she finally pulled her face away from her hands and grabbed him into a hug. Something about it had comforted her after all these years.

"Mom, Luke," Clary started. "Jace and I have something to tell you."

Jocelyn looked at her daughter. Her looked showed she was uncertain about what was about to be said.

"We are engaged." Clary held out her hand. Izzy had told Jace about the tradition of giving a ring to proposed and helped Jace pick it out. It was something that was a mundane tradition, but Clary loved it. "And we're pregnant." She added as Jocelyn hugged her from the first news.

Magnus had checked her after the who ordeal and things were still ok with the little bean. Jocelyn sat down quickly. She looked pale and like she was going to cry.

"We'd like your permission to marry soon." Jace said. He was going to be 18 in a couple of months Clary would be 17 just a bit after that. "After Clary's birthday, but before the baby is born." He added.

Jocelyn, still shocked, just sat there. Luke cleared his throat. "I believe that would be a good idea, Jace." He was holding back some emotion. "As long as it makes Clary happy."

Clary squealed very much like Izzy and hugged Jace. Izzy clapped and said, "We have lots to do now." The men of the table all looked scared, except Magnus. He smiled and winked at the girls.

Life was going to be different.

The clave was still on the lookout for Jonathan Morgenstern. His body was not found anywhere. But for now this family was taking it one day at a time, just like his dad told him to do. Today was a day to celebrate.
