Alec was woken up by his dogs licking his face. He grimaced, and gently pushed them away as he rolled over to open his eyes. It was now the early morning, the view of the sunrise was beautiful. Alec wished he could share this moment with his fiancé, but after everything went down last night, he needs some space from everyone.

It kills him to make Magnus and their children suffer, but Magnus was apart of that argument as well. If he didn't feel wanted, he could've said something. Alec never giving him any reason to think he didn't want him. Yes, Alec has kept things to himself, that he's not ready to discuss that particular subject, but Alec has been there with Magnus ever step of the way.

Sighing Alec gets up so he can give the dogs there breakfast, and feed the boys theirs. Hopefully, everyone else would be asleep so he won't have to speak to anyone. He unlocks the roof door letting the dogs go first. It's quiet in the house, and Alec doesn't even care if he makes noise because it's his damn house, and he could do what he wants. He steps into the kitchen pulling out the dog's breakfast. Today they are having chicken thighs. He made sure to take them out of the freezer before he went to the roof.

Echo comes downstairs when Alec whistles for him. Each dog patiently waits for Alec to finish fixing their breakfast. When Alec puts the last bowl of water on the floor, he gives the dogs the okay to eat. Washing his hands, Alec heads upstairs to get his children. He walks into the nursery and sees they aren't there, frowning to himself. Magnus must have let them sleep in their bed. Sighing, Alec walks into their bedroom to find Magnus asleep, and three babies smiling at him.

Alec smiles back, and gently lifts the three of them off the bed, and heads to the downstairs nursery. Magnus would probably freak out when he notices them missing, but once he figures out Alec has them, he should be okay. Alec blows raspberries with his lips, making the babies smile, and gurgle cutely. He places the babies in their crib, then changes them one by one. It's still early, so they might stay up for a few hours then fall asleep, but until then- they are all his.

10 minutes later, he's shaking three bottles making sure they are even temperature right. He then situates himself so he can feed them all at the same time, while he watches Curious George. Oven the past few months, he's been really into the PBS kid shows. 'Peep and the Big wide world' is his shit. That damn 'quack' is hilarious and he couldn't get enough of it. The babies seem to like it because their eyes are glued to the huge TV while drinking their bottles.

Alec burps each baby, then puts them into their 'cozy bean bag chairs' the face them so they could watch tv. The house is warm enough since it's summer and with their footed onesie, they should be okay. Zeus, Posiden, and Echo lie in between each chair standing watch, while Alec goes to clean up the kitchen, and prepare breakfast for their guests.

Alec walks back and forth from the kitchen to the living room, though he could see the babies from where he's standing, he just wants to see if they are asleep, and as he checks on the once more while he puts the pans of pancake mix in the oven, he sees they are asleep, and turns the volume down on the flat screen. Alec was just done plating the bacon when Max walks into the room with a panicked expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Where are the-" Max cuts himself off as he sees three sleeping babies in the living room with their guard dogs. Alec sees him sigh in relief, then looks back at his brother.

Alec rolls his eyes, and finish plating the tray of food for Magnus.

"Are you okay bro? Last night was kind of a mess, and I want you to know I had your back. Jace and Izzy were out of line, and you didn't deserve being hounded like you were doing something wrong. I had to help Magnus put the babies to sleep when Jace and Izzy tried to, they screamed and wouldn't let anyone else touch them, it was like the knew they were the cause of you missing."

Alec smiles at that, then turns back to his task. "Don't worry about it, Max. I'm used to being told I'm never good enough, but hearing it from Jace and Izzy hurt a lot, and I don't think I can forgive them at this moment because all I have done wrong was not talk about my fiancé almost dying in the hospital. I..I.I can't even sleep because of the images of him so weak replays in my mind. That was the worst feeling I have ever felt. I've never been so fucking scared in my entire life. If I lost him, I wouldn't know what to do with myself, let alone raise three babies by myself, but I'm always the bad guy right?"

Alec had tears in his eyes now, but he quickly wipes his eyes, not wanting to seem weak. He forces a smile, the looks back at Max. "Don't worry about me, Max. I'll be okay, um could you watch the babies while I take this up to Magnus? It'll only take a second, then your free to eat and then go meet up with Brandon before you have to go to work. Speaking of which, could you bring me a large pepperoni home? I would go and get it myself, but I can't leave Magnus here alone, with his condition."

Max nods stuffing some bacon in his mouth. Alec shakes his head when his brother grumbles out "okay" his whole mouth was full of bacon. Alec carries the tray upstairs to his and Magnus' bedroom. He walks in and is surprised to see Magnus is awake, and it crying. Alec places the tray on the table, then rushes to see what's wrong with fiance.

"Are you okay? What's wrong? On the scale of 1-10, how much pain are you in? Wait, I get your-"

"Alexander, please stop for a moment. I just need to hold you, can I do that please?"

Alec nods and buries his face in Magnus' neck sighing peacefully.

Magnus rubs soothing circles into Alec's back lullabying him to sleep, but Alec stops him. "Magnus if you keep doing that, I'm going to fall asleep, and I can't do that when the babies are downstairs sleeping and could wake up any minute now."

"I know, I just miss hold you baby. You're always holding me, but I'm never there for you when you need to be consoled as well. I'm going to change that. I heard when you said to Max." Alec looks at him shocked. Magnus gestures at the baby monitor on the bedside table. Damn them things never turn off. If it wasn't that, then it would've been the cameras.

Alec goes to speak, but Magnus cuts him off.

"No. You don't have to apologize or explain why you distant yourself a bit. It was a scary situation, and we should've spoken about it. I'm so sorry I was not there for you when you needed me the most. I'm sorry I complained that you been acting differently towards new lately without giving me a reason why, and now that I know, I feel so horrible, and the biggest asshole in the world. On top of that, your siblings were out of line. I couldn't believe they were saying that to you. I never saw Max so mad before, not even when he snapped at his parents. He actually threatened to kill them off they ever said anything bad about you again, Simon and Clary agreed. They were so mad at the two of them, they left and slept in different rooms them their partners. "

Alec was shocked to hear this. He didn't feel an ounce of sympathy for his siblings, not one bit.

"Our babies were upset that you weren't in their presence, it took Max and I all night to put them to bed. Jace and Izzy were hurt by that, but karma's a bitch I guess. I promise to do better, but you have to promise to never keep things from me, you know how I feel about that. Also, I'm so sorry for scaring you in the hospital baby, I really didn't mean to."

Alec kisses Magnus lips sweetly and pulls back, but Magnus isn't ready to let them go just yet and chases after them. Alec giggles, and kisses him passionately this time. Both humming, feeling content kissing each other once more.

"I promise to never keep anything from you ever again, but how about we have breakfast downstairs? I want to show you the nursery, I did all by myself. Plus, it will help your body get used to using the stairs again, what do you say?"

Magnus smiles brightly.

"Yes please, I want to more than these four walls. But only before you say that you forgive me."

"I will always forgive you, baby. You're my heart and soul, I can't function without you."

Alec helps Magnus off the bed, then takes the try an of food in one hand, and Magnus in the next. They carefully make their way down the stairs slowly, and Magnus is happy to see the sight. When they reach the living room, he gasps as he sees his darling babies asleep in their cute little chairs strapped in safely.

"Aww, when did you get those chairs? They are so cute!"

"I ordered them offline with a bunch of other stuff as well, I'll let you see that later, but first you need to eat breakfast so you can take your medicine."

Magnus nods then walk to the couch and sits down slowly. The pain has been dissipating every day, and Magnus is slowly starting to feel like himself again. Alec places the tray on Magnus' lap, then runs into the kitchen to fix his own plate. Max is sitting at the bar scoffing down his food so fast Alec thought he might choke at some point.

The other join them soon, but Alec pretends they aren't there. Jace and Izzy try to speak to them, but he smoothly ignores them and greets Clary and Simon. He sees the hurt expressions on his sibling's faces but doesn't care. He's sick of people treating him like he's worthless, when he was the one to work his ass off, while they were handed their careers. His parents have raised him to always treat people like he would treat himself, but when those people are his family... that just goes out the window.

He makes his way back over to the couch with Magnus and eats his breakfast. Magnus knows Alec doesn't feel like being in the same room with his siblings but is trying to be cordial. He can see the way his jaw is clenched, shoulders tense, hands twitching to hit something. Magnus grabs Alec's hand and squeezed it tightly. Alec looks at him, and Magnus could see him visibly relax and smile in his direction.

Magnus loves getting that reaction from his fiancé. How could he not? He's irrevocably in love with Alexander Lightwood.

They finish their breakfast. Alec takes the plates to the kitchen to wash them. He also cleans the whole kitchen and makes bottles for the babies. It's about time for them to eat and get changed again. Alec wishes he could take their babies out for a stroll around the park, but with the paparazzi or fans, it's impossible.

Just when the bottles are done warming, he hears his babies get fussy, wanting to get their diapers changed, and eat. It's mid-morning, and with everyone in the living room and their body heat, it started getting a little stuffy. Alec turns the air own 64° so it could cool off because by noon it would be scorching outside.

No one could endure that kind of heat, especially babies. Alec walks into the room, and gently take each baby out of their chair, and pass them to Magnus. He joins them on the couch too and starts feeding his boys. Alec zones out the conversations in the room. He honestly doesn't want to hear anyone's voices other than his fiancée, babies, or his brother Max.

The rest he doesn't care for at this moment. Jace and Izzy try to speak to him again, and he sits there like they aren't speaking to him. Jace gets upset and shouts his name. This causes Alec to turn in his direction and glare at him so hard Jace takes a step back. The tension in the room is unbearable. When Alec speaks, it so calms it scares them all. They could see the anger, and hatred Alec is holding back, and Jace and Izzy know they have fucked up big time and ended up on Alec's bad side.

The side note one wants to be on because Alec could be so cold and heartless it would make you feel like shit.

"If you could please keep your voice down while my children are eating that would be great. Now, if I don't want to speak with you Jonathan you should leave it. If you cannot follow that rule, you are free to leave and never return to my home again. If you don't like the sound of that, then I suggest you sit there and join your sister in whatever conversation you were having and kindly leave me the fuck alone. I've had enough of you and Izzy for one day. The both of you are still here because Magnus wants you here when I clearly don't. But neither of you could see that right? Of course not. Now I will take my children and you'll continue your conversations. Max, could you help me please?"

Max nods, and carefully takes one of the babies from Magnus and follows Alec to the nursery. "Magnus, I will be right back to help you, don't try to move please and thank you," Alec says before he disappears into the back of the house.

"Dude Alec is sooooooo pissed, but it serves you two right after what you said last night. You're going to have the make it up to him big time. But for now, give him some space." Says Simon

Jace and Izzy look so sad and hurt, but that's nothing compared to what Alexander feels inside. They hurt him so much, it triggered old memories from when he was younger. How Robert and Maryse would say to him over and over, and then some. Magnus remembers everything Alec told him about his childhood growing up, and while Jace and Izzy didn't exactly say it-it still held the same context.

"We didn't mean to hurt him in any way, we just didn't like the way he was treating Magnus. Anyone could see that he wasn't happy, and Alec just ignored him." Jace says, but Magnus knew that wasn't true. So he had to explain why Alec's been that way.

When he finished telling them everything Alec said to him. They two siblings had tears in their eyes, as did Clary and Simon. They didn't know how to respond to what Magnus just explained to them, but they now knew what Alec's going through, and they made it ten times worse. They now understood why Max snapped at them as well, and now both of their brothers hates them. They could see the hate in Alec's eyes as he looks at them now.

They were going to apologize to Alec, but maybe when he cools off for a bit.

Alec walks back living room, and helps Magnus off the couch. He completely ignores the rest of them and leads his fiancé to the nursery. When they enter the room, Magnus gasps and smiles brighter than he has in a few days.

"Oh, Alexander I love it! You've outdone yourself, darling! I love everything, it's so cute and small, but just big enough for us to change them and put them to sleep." Magnus kisses Alec passionately for a few minutes until Jayden demands attention.

They laugh at their son in Magnus' arms and kisses his little face. Alec takes Jayden so Magnus could look around the room.

Magnus was speechless when he looked around the room. It was fully stocked with clothes, diapers, wipes, blankets, etcetera. Basically just like upstairs, minus the bottle warmer and mini fridge. The room didn't need one since it was so close to the kitchen. Yup, Magnus could see himself spending a lot of time downstairs. He could even work inside Alec's office, he could take over the downstairs dining room since Alec doesn't have anything occupying the space. He would have to ask Alec about that later, but for now, he's content with his maternity leave.

Magnus turns back to see Alec putting a sleeping Jayden inside the crib next to Kayson and Carson. They are still so little, but they are growing every day.

"Hey, I'm going to take the dogs for their morning run, and when I get back how about you go shopping? I know you want to get out the house Mags. You've been stuck here for so long, you've forgotten what they outside world looks like. You deserve to have some time alone and hang out with your friends. I and the babies will be alright, don't worry. How does that sound?"

Magnus threw his arms around his fiancé and kissed him deeply. "You are the best fiancé I'm the world! You know how to make me happy! Thank you, darling, I would love to go shopping! Thank you so much!"

Alec chuckles and hugs him tightly.

"Anything to make you happy baby. But keep your voice down, they get annoyed when someone interrupts their nap, so let's go, I'll help you help stairs to get ready, and I'm sure Clary or Simon wouldn't mind keeping an eye out for the babies. I'll be back in an hour, and you will be finishing your makeup. I won't be longer than that."

"Okay, let's go. Time wastes for no one."

They walk up the stairs, but not before asking Clary to listen out for their children while Magnus takes a shower and Alec walks the dogs. She agrees, they thank her then disappears up the stairs. Alec runs back down, and then whistles for the dogs to get their leashes.

Max asked if he and Brandon could join him this morning for his workout routine. Alec agrees and packs the dogs essentials then was out the door.
