'Achoo,' That was the eighth time Alec sneezed in the last ten minutes and dust had nothing to do with it either. Magnus watched his boo from his peripheral since he felt Alec's forehead this morning. They've been going non stop unpacking the house and getting everything up to their standards. In between unpacking, cleaning and organizing the house - they had to check on their little gumdrops every hour making making sure they were doing alright and either change diapers or give them cool water or juicy juice to help with their sore throats or just keeping them hydrated. Milk was out of the question when babies are sick with fevers, they might throw it back up. Alec learned that the hard way a year ago, and never made that mistake again. It was disgusting. Having children toughens your stomach and gag reflex immensely.

Alec swayed walking in the living room and felt dizzy, nearly falling but never tumbling over because Magnus ran towards him managing to keep him upright. Alec groaned at the pain in his head and ear and stomach. Oh it was the absolute worst! Magnus hissed feeling scorching heat resonated frok Alec's body. Yup it was time to take charge. "Alexander, you have a fever and needs rest. I'm not going to sit here and argue with you either, I know you've taken care of yourself and the girls alone while the three of you were sick at the same time, but i'm here now. Not to mention your siblings, we can finish the rest of the house while you get some much needed sleep - since you'd barely gotten any last night."

Alec was in too much pain to say argue, he tried looking around the room, that was a bad idea when a wave of nausea and dizziness hit him like a ton of bricks. Immediately he shit his eyes and lead his head on Magnus shoulder wanting to be rid of the annoying symptoms so he could focus properly. It was a lost cause.

Rubbing his lovers stomach, Magnus held Alec close as they walked towards their bedroom so Alec can sleep peacefully. He positioned Alec on the right side of the bed gently and slowly not wanting to cause him any more pain then he was already in. Magnus then ran towards their bathroom looking through the box labeled Medicine Cabinet and pulled out prescription ibuprofen. "Yes," be said rinsing a fever reducer for his baby. He needed to get his temperature down quickly.

As he walked towards the kitchen, the doorbell went off the exact time he opened the fridge. Whoever that was had to wait until he gave his honey his medicine. Running back in his and Alec's bedroom, he saw that Alec was falling asleep which wasn't good because he needed a fever reducer to help him feel a tad bit better later.

"Hey baby, wake up," Magnus whispered as he approached the bed, gently shaking his sweetheart awake. Alec stirred the groaned at the pain that shot through his forehead and temples. Fuck sakes! A pounding head was not fun at all. Magnus winced seeing the pained express in on Alec's face. "I know baby, I'm sorry for attempting to move you, but you have to take this medicine and drink something. I know you haven't drank anything all day which isn't good for anyone. So let's take two Ibuprofen and drink this full glass of water, then you can sleep as long as you want. When the girls wake up I will bring them in here to lie with you, if know you three love being together while sick. It's really insane how inseparable you three are, at the same time so adorable. Does that sound like a plan?"

Alec nodded yes then took his medicine before laying back into their many comfortable pillows. Magnus kissed Alec's fever ridden lips before leaving the bedroom to answer the door. These people whoever they are are exasperating. Seriously do they have to ring the doorbell constantly like this? Anger surged throw Magnus as he slammed open the door with a murderous glare stopping the two people in their place from throwing their arms around him.

"Honestly what the fuck is wrong with the two of you?! You couldn't wait until we answered the door? I have two sick babies in here and now a sick and deprived boyfriend, plus a house that needs to be unpacked, I don't need anymore mishaps today! Though i an happy to see you, but so not and I repeat do not ring that annoying doorbell like that ever again." Magnus said taking the woman in his arms and kissing her cheek.

"Oh Magnus honey, I'm so sorry. You were taking too long to answer the door, and plus it's hot as fish grease out here. My God, how does Alec stay in the heat like this?! Anyway, move aside I want to see my grandchildren. I don't care if they're sleeping, I just want to see their faces. Can we come in?" Rolling his eyes at his mother, Magnus stepped aside letting his parents into the house. Jason pulled his son into a tight hug then kissed his forehead. No matter how old he gets, Magnus will always be their baby boy.

Thalia looked around the house and fell in love with the decor. She always had a weakness for gray walls and blue furniture, "I take it you and Izzy did the interior design huh?" Magnus nodded and watched as she looked at the pictures on the tables around the house. She picked up the one where Alec, Riley and Sariah were inside of their playhouse smiling outside the window as Clary snapped the picture. With a shaky hand, she held it to her mouth to cover the sob threatening to escape.

She missed her darling boy and the birth of her grandchildren, goodness the girls are the perfect combination of their parents. Jason joined his wife looking at the pictures. The two burst out laughing at the picture of Alec and the girls glaring at the camera with annoyed expressions. "Oh they have Alec's scowl, just wait til they get older, it's going to just as deadly as their fathers." said Jason as he ran his fingers over the twins faces. They looked at a few more pictures before they were bombarded by the band of misfits (Izzy, Jace, and Max), squeezing the life out of them. Though from the looks of it, Thalia and Jason didn't mind one bit.

"Oh Izzy I love your hair, did you braid it yourself?" Thalia asked looking at the extremely detailed hairstyle. Izzy shook her head and grinned widely showing off her hair, "No, Alec braided it for me, he's gotten so much better now that he has daughters with a ton of hair. Have you seen their hairstyles in the pictures? Alec's a nature, he even surpassed Magnus."

Magnus scoffed as the two women burst out laughing then sobered up when Sariah and Riley was calling for daddy. Jason and Thalia gasped hearing the voices of their grandchildren for the first time. "Hey Jace, Izzy and Max, so you mind going to pick up food for everyone? Alec's sick with a fever and possibly a ear infection, I'm going to take him to the hospital later but for now he needs rest, pick him and the girls up for chicken noodle and broccoli and cheese soup from Panera Bread please and get me Chipotle bowl, you know my order. Then whatever you want have at it, but he quick please." the trio nodded with from expressions, no one like seeing Alec sick, without him they didn't have a clue on how to function properly. Magnus handed his bank card to Izzy and tossed the car keys at Jace.

Magnus gestured for his parents to follow him inside the girls nursery. Thalia heart was beating so fast it threatened to pop out of her chest as they headed the door she heard their screams now and it hurt her soul. Her babies were sick, damn it now parent or grandparent liked seeing their loved ones sick like this.

"Papa! I want dada, peas." Riley says with huge tears running down her face as she reached out for him. Magnus cooed at his babies, they're so precious. "Okay sweet pea, let me change your pamper first then get you something to drink and some crackers. Guess who's here, Mimi and Pawpaw came to visit you. Do you want to say hi?"

At the same time, Sariah and Riley looked at the new arrivals with smiles on their faces, pointing at their grandparents squealing out their names, "Mimi! Pawpa! Dada!" Thalia looked confused turning to see if Alec was behind them but he wasn't, "The girls and Alec are attached to one another, they have such a beautiful bond it puts ours to shame. When sick the girls don't like being away from Alec, they need his cuddles." Magnus explained, "But come on and help me get them changed and introduce yourselves, they are friendly. They got it from me of course." Jason chuckled at his son before joining his wife in the bathroom washing their hands before picking up their grandchildren who kissed their cheeks and babbled out having conversations with them. Magnus watched from the side as his parents and children bonded together.
