It's moving day and Alec was the only one up. Everyone had a long week, including Alec but he wasn't going to let that stop him from his task. Riley and Sariah caught a summer cold from one of the kids from the daycare and Alec lost his mind. He hated seeing and hearing his babies in pain, he took them to the hospital and in the middle of the night when they started yelling and pulling at their ears. They could barely breathe with all the snot in their nose. Magnus was right on his heels panicking about his poor babies being in pain. He never experienced this before and be was in tears.
Alec gave them ibuprofen before they pulled off and headed to the Children's Hospital downtown Atlanta. He made sure they had bottles and cups with cold water, juice and milk. He also packed sandwich bags with snacks (goldfish, pretzels, carrots, and Apple slices), clothes, shoes and blankets. It was always cold in the hospitals and Alec was not in the mood for the crazy ass temperature problems.
They were seen relatively quickly despite it being midnight. The doctors examined them, ruling out ear infections, which Alec was thankful for. Those can be a pain to anyone and he did not want his babies to experience that pain ever. It was just a normal cold and fever and prescribe them some more ibuprofen, and antibiotics for their sore throats. Alec thanked the angels above the hospital gave him their medicine instead of him having to wait until the morning. The nurses gave Sariah and Riley a dose of their antibiotics and ibuprofen before they left and made their way home.
Magnus was paying close attention to nurses and doctors movements, not trusting them for a second. Sue him, these were his daughters for Christ sake! He would kill anyone that dare to harm them, if he could kill the germs that infested his darling he would like that old cartoon Osmosis Jones; Anyway you get the point. His babies were okay after they've taken their medicine and were now laying on their fathers chest waiting to be discharged. When they made it home, Magnus didn't want to sleep without them afraid something might happen to them while they slept. Alec wasn't going to complain anyway, whenever the girls don't feel well, he let's them sleep in his bed so he can keep an eye on them.
Now they are sleeping on their Papa's chest knocked out. Alec took a few pictures before he did his business in the bathroom. He hired movers for today and they were outside eating for his orders. Alec quickly hot dressed and made his way down the stairs to meet them and finish packing the refrigerator. Max and their grandmother packed majority of the stuff when everyone was working, and he was grateful. Because he wasn't sure if they were going to have enough time to pack anything. Plus they needed to be out of the town house because Simon and Clary were going to take over it since James owned the townhouse.
Alec was proud of his friends, they were growing up and moving on with their lives. They needed out of the bad neighborhood they were staying. Old National is a dangerous place. Someone is forever getting killed or shot, and it was not worth it. At least they closer to their job and school.
"Hey good morning guys, you can start with the kitchen or the living room, everything has been boxed to make it easier for you all. Thanks again." The movers nodded and went to work. Alec was leaving the bedroom furniture for his friends seeing as they didn't have anything in their old apartment besides a futon couch and a few tables, they both crashed on the futon and it was becoming unbearable staying in a one bedroom apartment. Alec scolded them for jumping right into moving the first chance they got instead of stacking up their money and now they had to pay car notes instead of doing what Alec did- finding cash cars and fixing them up.
They the hard way now, but since James have everyone a two dollar raise, they would be able to pay car notes, rent, and bills and still have money let for whatever else they wanted. Magnus had furniture coming down from his apartment in New York and alec purchased new furniture for their house anyway so letting his friends have his furniture was okay.
The downstairs was cleared of boxes, the movers headed up stairs in the nursery trying not to make that much noise. Alec then told them to take the boxes of clothes from his bedroom and bathroom. After that, Alec drove the car to the other house, making it just until for the furniture trucks to get there. It was going to be a long day. Thankfully the house was painted and thanks to everyone coming one day this week and painting after the got home from work.
The living room was a beautiful blue/grey and white with dark blue and black furniture that made the entire room pop. The furniture company went to work on the living room and dining room, while the movers unloaded the boxes taking the to their rightful places. They built all bed frames, wardrobes, desks, entertainment centers, bookshelves, etecreta. Alec made sure go tip both companies generously when they left.
Not wanting to waste more time. Alec set on unboxing the kitchen boxes putting them away. If the babies were up, Magnus would have called him, but he just hoped they stayed asleep until it was time for breakfast and take another dose of their medicine. It didn't take long for him to finish the kitchen because he left a lot of stuff for his friends since they didn't have a lot and Magnus and Izzy bought new dishware.
He moved into the girls room next, because that's what really needed to be done first. Sick babies tends to sleep all day long. He fixed the beds, then moved into putting their clothes away nice and neatly. They had so many clothes, but it gave Alec a chance to through his babies old clothes and place them in a pile for goodwill or a women's and miss shelter.
Around 10;30 another truck pulled up, and Alec knew it was for Magnus. Alec met the driver and crew outside, and showed them were the furniture was going. Magnus told Alec he could put his furniture in the basement for Max and Jace's batcave. Since the basement was huge, the four couches, and tables and coffee tables fit perfectly. The 80 inch flat screen was going in the living room, or family room. Which ever didn't matter. Alec left his for Clary and Simon. Honestly he's given more of the things he bought himself to his friends. They better be thankful. A long with Magnus things, his siblings belongings were in there as well and Alec showed the movers were to place them.
Alec paid them for their services then walked back into the house. He made sure they placed all of Magnus' clothes in his own closet so he could go through it and hang his stuff up later. He was putting the books on the shelves when his family finally graced him with their presence. Sariah and Riley ran towards him, wrapping their chubby arms around his legs. He felt their foreheads and frowned, they were a little warm, not wanting to chance it. Be grabbed their medicine out the fridge and have them both their doses.
"Why didn't you wake us to help you bro?" Max asked picking up a box of books and placing them beside Alec and helped him place them on the shelves.
"I didn't want to wake you guys. Plus I had to be here when the truck dropped off your things. Everything has been placed inside your bedrooms, I do hope I won't have to help you put clothes away or clean your rooms." Alec sneezed a few times in some tissue then washed his hands. He prayed that he wasn't getting sick, he hated getting sick after his girls because it lasted for months instead of weeks. No one was there to help take care of me the girls and his grandparents were always busy.
Magnus frowned and placed his hand on Alec's forehead. "Alexander your burning up. Are you okay?" He asked concerned. Alec never gets sick unless something has changed.
Smiling down at his girls playing inside the boxes Alec nodded. "I'm fine babe, now let's gets this house in order shall we? Since I know you all aye breakfast, I don't have to cook anything, we have a lot of work to do and I want the house done before we have to work on Monday." Magnus didn't believe him one bit, not wanting to start a fight, he got yo work on the DVD shelves while paying close attention to his sick boyfriend.
Alec sent his siblings to get started on their bedrooms and bathrooms while him and Magnus took care of the downstairs. It was going to be a long weekend.
