Hey guys, sorry for the wait, I was busy with tests and shit. Now I'm done for summer. Which is terrifying because this time next year I'll be done school, forever. I'm growing up way too fast.
*DISCLAIMER* I only own Alli, Samantha, Xavier and the kids, all other rights to Cassandra Clare.
*Chapter 36*
*ALLI'S P.O.V.*
Will scrambles up onto the bed beside me and watches in amazement, as Alec places Sophie back in my arms.
"Wow..." He whispers, looking at Sophie as if she were a jewel.
"What do you think Will?" Magnus gently asks.
"She so pretty... just like you aunty Alli." He says. I smile broadly, little boys always think their mother's are the most beautiful women on the planet, and to hear my son say that to me, without him even knowing I'm his mother, is just the best thing.
"Aw thank you buddy." I say.
"Would you like to hold her, William?" Magnus asks. Will nods enthusiastically and holds his arms out. I place Sophie in them, and help him support her. Before I got pregnant with Will, I always dreamed about the day I got to introduce my son to his sister. I never imagined both my children would be placed with two different people. I love Magnus and Alec so, so much, and I couldn't have asked for better parents for Will, but I still envy them and their beautiful family.
"Do you think you'll like being a big brother, Will?" Mom asks, smiling at him.
"Yeah! I keep her safe." He says, looking down at Sophie with pure love in his eyes. He really is going to be amazing with her, she's one lucky girl.
"Hey Will, can I hold her now?" Jace asks.
"Not yet." Will says, never taking his eyes off Sophie. Jace laughs and says
"Well when can I?"
"In a wee second."Will says.
"Okay, I'll hold you to that." Jace says. Just then, Sophie's eyes flutter open, and I see big deep blue eyes staring up at me, just like Alec's.
"Daddy she gotst eyes wike you." Will says. Alec smiles as he looks at Sophie and says
"You're right buddy."
"Gandma, where gandpa?" Will asks, looking around for dad.
"He's talking to aunty Izzy." Mom says.
"He gotsts meet Sophie!" Will says.
"You're right there buddy, but there's too many people in here, Will, Sophie might get a little bit scared. So do you wanna go play with Lucy, and you can come help papa and I put Sophie to sleep, later?" Alec says.
"Otay." Will says. He hands Sophie to Alec, and then hugs me tightly and says
"I wove you wots and wots aunty Alli, you the bestest." I hold him close, wishing with everything, that I could tell him I'm not his aunty, but his mommy. But I can't, and won't, it would shatter his little world right now, he's too young. He'll know in good time.
"Aw thank you buddy, I love you too." I tell him, placing a soft kiss on his head, thinking of the day he finds out I'm his mom.
*LUKE'S P.O.V.*
I smile as I look down at Sophie, in my arms. She really is a perfect mix of Alli and Alec. She reminds me of Isabelle when she was a baby, I never actually saw her when she was a baby, but there are plenty of pictures of she, Alec and Max around the institute, and Sophie is the spit of Izzy, when she was a newborn.
"Hello Sophie, I'm your grandpa, you're my fourth beautiful granddaughter, and I love you so much. You've got two wonderful dads; you're going to have an amazing life." I quietly say to her.
"I can't believe she's finally here." Alec quietly says. I remember feeling the exact same way when Clary and Abbey were born.
"How's Alli?" I ask. I haven't seen her since she went into labour. Right now she's in the infirmary resting up, while everyone else meets Sophie in the main room.
"She's okay, still trying to get over handing over her second child, but she knows she's going to see her again." Jocelyn quietly says. I feel so bad for Alli, she wants to be a mother so badly, I can see it. I hope she does become a mother one day, but for now I'm just so glad she realised what Jordan was doing to her, was wrong, and left him. "I think Tessa is going to talk to her later, she said she's helped quite a few women in Alli's position, before." Jocelyn says. That's exactly what Alli needs, to talk to someone. I'm glad Tessa is going to talk to her; maybe she'll help her feel better.
"Good." I quietly say
"Where's Abbey gotten off too?" Magnus asks. I smile at the mention of my mischievous four year old.
"Well Clary and Jace offered to look after her, so she's probably off causing havoc with Jack, somewhere." I say. Jack and Abbey are very close, they got on great together, and I highly doubt they'll ever have a 'normal' aunt and nephew relationship, but that doesn't matter, so long as they get along.
Jocelyn and I spend a bit more time with little Sophie, before we decide to leave the family be.
*ISABELLE'S P.O.V.*
"Are you sure you're comfortable meeting my brother and his husband?" I ask Sam and Zavier, before entering the main room.
"Yes, Izzy. Our daughter is going to grow up around these people and we're going to be around them for the rest of our lives, so we want to get to know them." Sam says. I don't want to push either of them, but they seem comfortable in meeting Alec and Magnus, I just hope Robert doesn't interfere.
"Okay, I'll go tell him." I say, pushing the door to the main room open.
"Hey, there you are." Alec says. I smile at him and say
"Alec, there's two very special people Simon and I would like you two to meet."
"Okay." Is all Alec says. I step away from the doorway, and Sam and Zavier walk in, Simon behind them.
"Magnus, Alec. This is Samantha Gladstone and Xavier Kingsmill. They've chosen us as parents for their baby." I say, smiling as I think about the beautiful little girl I'll soon have. Sam told me she knows for a fact she's having a girl, and I couldn't be happier. She's six months, so with only three months to go, Simon and I are preparing as fast as possible for our baby girl, and thinking of names for her.
"Nice to meet you." Zavier says, shaking both Magnus and Alec's hands, with Sam following his lead.
"You don't know how amazing you are to do this for my sister; she's wanted another baby so badly, for about three years. Adoption is a beautiful, amazing thing, and a great option." Alec says. He's so right.
"I know, Zavier and I spoke to a couple who placed their child for open adoption, and it made us see it in a whole new light. Izzy and Simon are amazing." Sam says, making me smile widely. I'm so grateful for these two. I want them to meet Lily and maybe mom today, too, but I don't want to push them.
"Izzy, come meet your niece." Magnus says. Oh beautiful little Sophie is finally here.
I walk over to Magnus, my heels clicking all the way on the hard wooden floors.
I smile as Sophie is placed in my arms, she's absolutely perfect.
"Hi Sophie, perfect girl. I'm your aunty Izzy." I whisper.
"You look amazingly natural holding her. I knew before, you would be a good mom, but now... I don't think there's anyone better than you."Sam says. That is the best compliment I have ever gotten. Sam is such a sweet kid, I love her very much already, and I'll do anything to keep her safe, before and after she gives birth. She's like the little sister I always wanted, but got unfourtenetley I got Alec instead.
"Thank you Sam."I quietly say.
"She really is beautiful, congratulations." Simon says, walking up beside me.
"Thank you Spencer." Magnus says. He knows Simon's name now, of course he does, but he occasionally calls him something else just to annoy him.
"Simon, don't get mad, you can't throw a hissy fit now, you're not sixteen anymore." I calmly say. Simon nods and keeps his mouth shut, thankfully.
*1 hour later*
*MAGNUS' P.O.V.*
I still can't believe Sophie is finally here, and how amazingly perfect she is.
"Papa, what are you doing?" Will asks me; as I put a little pink baby grow on Sophie, before putting her in her bassinet.
"Just getting her ready for bed." I say.
"Why she wiggling awound?" He asks. He's full of questions today.
"She's a little bit cold, because she's use to being in aunty Alli's belly, and not here in the world with us, where it isn't as warm." I explain as best I can.
"Oh okay." Will says.
I pick Sophie up and place her in her bassinet, and let Will cover her with a small blanket, and kiss her forehead.
"Night Sophie, wove you." He quietly says. I'm so proud of how good he is with her already.
*TESSA'S P.O.V.*
"Please be positive, please, please let it be positive." I quietly whisper, as I wait in the bathroom, for the pregnancy test result. I want nothing more than to be pregnant. Jem and I have been trying for almost three months and still nothing has happened. I'm really begging to think something is wrong with either mine or Jem's fertility.
I check my watch to see the three minutes of waiting are up. I walk over to the bathroom sink and pick up the pregnancy test.
Decided to leave it on a real cliff-hanger that you will hopefully enjoy. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please review and tell me what you liked and what you want to see in other chapters.
