to their family

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Magnus, Alec and Beth walk down the corridor of the building. Six year old Beth stays close to her fathers, "Daddy, Poppa, this place is creepy."

Magnus holds her hand, "It's because the windows have heavy drapes on them. You can't see the sun." Alec walks ahead of them.

"Oh." As they walk by rooms, she waves at the children inside, "Can we take them all home, Poppa?"

Magnus laughs, "Not today, Beth."

Alec smiles at a girl standing outside her room. Her blonde hair is uncombed. She's wearing a shirt and pants that are too big for her. She can't be older than three. She has sunglasses on that cover not only her eyes, but also her forehead. She takes a step into her room. He sits on the floor a couple of yards away from her, "Hello, what's your name." She shakes her head as she takes another step into her room. Beth and Magnus stand behind Alec. He gestures, "This is Magnus, my husband."

Beth giggles, "Poppa."

Alec laughs, "Our daughter, Beth. I'm Alec."

Beth giggles, "Daddy."

Magnus laughs, "Beth, your Daddy is handling this."

"I'm helping."

Alec laughs, "I appreciate the help, Beth."

Beth looks up at Magnus, "See."

Magnus squeezes her hand, "Fine, now shh."

"Okay, Poppa.

The girl giggles as she tugs on her shirt.

Alec smiles, "As you can see, Beth is a warlock, just like you."

The girl touches her sunglasses with both hands then grips her shirt again.

Beth giggles, "I want to be your sister." Magnus laughs and squeezes his daughter's hand.

Alec laughs, "See, we aren't going to hurt you."

The girl takes a few steps towards Alec, her hands tugging on her shirt.

Alec smiles, "I bet you have pretty eyes."

The girl shakes her head and whispers, "Ugly."

"Nonsense." She shrugs. "Those sunglasses are way too big for your face."

Magnus sniffs, "They are way too big for my face."

Beth giggles, "Good one, Poppa."

Alec laughs, "We seem to be in agreement. How about taking them off and letting us see your pretty eyes?"

The girl walks over and stands within arm's distance of Alec, "You do."

Alec raises an eyebrow, "You want me to remove them?" She nods. Alec smiles, "Okay." He reaches with both hands, gently takes them off and folds them. He puts them in his jacket pocket.

Her eyes are completely white. She has neither pupils nor irises. She silently looks at Alec.

He smiles, "You have unusual and beautiful eyes."

The girl slowly smiles. She closes her eyes for a few minutes than slowly opens them. Her eyes are now hazel. The same color as Alec's. She sits on his leg and giggles.

"Christina, put your damn glasses back on, now."

Beth presses against Magnus as he turns around and glares at the woman walking towards them. She's barely five foot, her orange hair is in a messy bun. He coldly asks, "And you are?'

She ignores him, "Christina, what did I tell you?"

Alec holds Christina close as he stands up. He glares at the woman, "You're rude."

She stops a couple of feet away from them, "What's going on here?"

"We're adopting Christina."

"I don't think so."

Alec nods, "I don't care what you think. My mother is the Inquisitor and she gave us permission to be here."

The woman glances at Magnus and Beth, then sneers at Alec, "Right. Inquisitor Lightwood wouldn't allow warlocks in her family."

Beth's eyes fill with fear as she holds her father's leg. Magnus grits his teeth but stays silent. He picks Beth up and holds her tight. She rests her head on Magnus' shoulder.

Alec's eyes narrow, "Send her a fire message right now and see what she says."

"Fine, but do not leave before I return."

"Oh, we aren't going anywhere."

She turns on her heel and walks quickly away.

Magnus waits until she goes around the corner then coldly says, "That cow is watching over these children?"

Alec sighs, "Afraid so."

Christina's eyes are white, "I'll stay."

Alec kisses her forehead, "No. You are coming home with us." She slowly smiles as her eyes go hazel. She rests her head against his shoulder.

Magnus leans over and kisses her cheek, "Exactly."

He holds Beth closer so she can kiss her sister's cheek. Beth smiles, "Gram Mar is going to tell that lady, what's what and who's who." Christina giggles.

Alec nods, "Yes she will."

Beth smiles, "I'm going to call you 'Tina'."

Magnus laughs, "And what do Daddy and I call her?"

"You can call her Tina as well."

"Thank you, Beth."

"You're welcome, Poppa."

Alec kisses his new daughter's forehead, "I dub you 'Tina'." She giggles.

Magnus sees the woman returning. He holds Beth close and stands by Alec's side.

The woman glares at Magnus then weakly smiles at Alec, "Mr. Lightwood, the Inquisitor has informed me that Christina is to be released to you. The Inquisitor has begun the adoption paperwork."

Alec nods, "Thank you." Magnus sniffs.

"Would you like me to assist you in packing up Christina's belongings?"

Magnus shakes his head, "Nah, I'm pretty sure we don't want anything you have for her." Beth buries her face in her father's neck as she giggles.

The woman looks at Alec, "Mr. Lightwood?'

Alec glares at her, "I believe my husband answered your question. But we'll go through her things and see if she wants anything. You may leave us."

"Uh..."

Alec walks into the bedroom without another word. Magnus follows him and slams the door in her face. She stares at the door then walks away.

Tina doesn't want anything including the clothes she's wearing. Magnus flicks his hand and she's wearing a pair of jeans and a tshirt that says "I'm a little sister."

Before Beth can say anything, he flicks his hand a second time and she's wearing a tshirt that says "I'm a big sister." She and Tina giggle as they hold hands.

Magnus looks at his youngest daughter, "You sure you want nothing?"

She nods, "I'm sure, Poppa."

Alec smiles, "Then we are done here."

Magnus nods as he opens a portal, "Time to go home. Ladies first."

Tina and Beth giggle as they walk through the portal hand in hand. Alec holds Magnus' hand as they follow their daughters.

Magnus, Alec and their daughters return to the loft after spending the afternoon shopping.

Alec stretches, "It's a good thing, I have nothing planned this weekend, I'm exhausted." He sits on the sofa.

Beth giggles as she sits next to him. Her glamour disappears, "Poor Daddy."

Magnus holds Tina and sits on a chair. He kisses his daughter's forehead, "You can drop your glamour as well, baby girl."

She shakes her head, "No, Poppa."

He smiles, "Okay, it's your choice."

"Thank you, Poppa."

Alec takes Tina's sunglasses out his pocket, "Guess we don't need these anymore."

Beth wrinkles her nose, "No way, Daddy."

Alec smiles, "Tina, why don't you throw them away."

Tina nods. Magnus helps her slide off his lap. She walks over and takes the sunglasses from Alec. She giggles, "Where's the garbage?"

Beth giggles as she gets off the sofa and holds her sister's hand, "I'll show you." The sisters walk into the kitchen. Beth opens the cabinet where the trash can is and Tina drops the glasses in. Beth claps her hands, "Voila, best disappearing trick of all."

Tina giggles as she claps her hands then kisses Beth's cheek, "I love you."

Beth hugs her, "I love you too."

Alec raises an eyebrow, "Hey, what about us?"

Beth giggles. She looks at her sister, "You go to Poppa and I'll go to Daddy."

Tina nods, "Okay." The girls run into the living room.

Beth climbs onto the sofa and hugs him, "I love my Daddy."

Alec laughs as he holds her tight, "And I love my Beth."

Tina runs over to Magnus and he picks her up. She wraps her arms around his neck, "I love Poppa."

Magnus holds her tight, "I love Tina."

Beth giggles, "Switch." Alec laughs as he lets her go. She jumps off the sofa.

Tina giggles. Magnus puts her on her feet and she runs towards the sofa. The girls almost bump into each other. Tina giggles, "Sorry."

Beth giggles, "My fault." She runs around Tina to Magnus.

He picks her up and they hug. She kisses his cheek, "Love my Poppa."

He holds her tight, "And I love my Beth."

Tina runs to Alec. He scoops her up with one arm and holds her tight. She giggles, "Love Daddy."

He kisses her nose, "Love my Tina."

Magnus smiles as he sets Beth on his lap, "So you and Tina will share a room for now until she gets settled then we'll move her to another room."

Beth giggles, "We'll see, Poppa."

"Oh, we will?"

Tina nods, "Maybe we share room forever."

Alec laughs, "Forever is a long time."

Magnus nods, "That it is. So what shall we have as our first meal as a family?"

Beth giggles, "Pizza."

Tina asks, "What's that?"

"It's awesome. Cheese, sauce and the best part is the crust. I always steal Poppa's."

Tina looks up at Alec, "Can we have that please, Daddy?"

He kisses her nose, "Of course."

Magnus nods, "Pizza it is."

Beth claps her hands, "Yeah."

Alec laughs as he puts Tina on the sofa and stands up, "The usual order?"

Magnus nods, "Yes. Meanwhile, the ladies and I shall set the table."

Alec kisses Tina's head, "Be right back, sweetheart."

Tina smiles, "Okay, Daddy."

Alec walks towards the door. Magnus says, "Hey, where's our kiss goodbye?" Beth giggles.

Alec laughs as he walks over, "Sorry." He kisses the top of Beth's head, "Later, you."

Beth giggles, "Later, Daddy." Alec kisses Magnus, who holds Alec's shirt to prolong their kiss. Beth giggles, "Poppa, Daddy is only going to be gone a few minutes."

Magnus lets Alec go with a sigh, "Fine."

Alec laughs as he walks to the door. He waves goodbye. His daughters and husband wave back. Alec leaves.

Magnus puts Beth on her feet as he stands up, "Ladies, after you."

Beth giggles as she holds Tina's hand and they walk to the kitchen. Magnus follows.

I believe that it is not possible to have too much adorable Malec and their children moments.

Wouldn't you agree?
