Sorry for any mistakes and grammatical errors...
Anubis and Horus arrived the next morning, instead of the previous night. Which was fine for Alec because he had to tell his family about them getting new members. The girls were ecstatic about puppies and couldn't wait for them. Max was happy to have running partners in the morning. The only downside to that plan was… they didn't have a pool in the back of the house, so they could learn how to swim, but Thalia said they were welcome at their house whenever they wanted. Alec was thrilled because swimming was a type of therapy to help with his knee injury.
"Hey do you guys think we could add another dog to that list? I've been meaning to ask you about it for a while now." Jace says looking afraid for some reason. Both Alec and Magnus tilted their head at Jace's strange behavior. Normally he would be confident about any and all things. So maybe he feared Alec would say no to his idea of an pet.
Alec smiled teasingly already knowing what Jace wanted. Growing up, Jace always raved about golden retrievers since watching Air Bud. He's been obsessed with them. Alec had no problem with it. It was the dog hair that was going to be a problem. But if they are well groomed and brushed daily, it shouldn't be a problem. Just like all dogs should be. Alec had a plan in his mind when all the puppies are homes together. They will have the same vet appointments, training, bath time, eating schedule, etcetera. Because having schedules are important.
Plus with Alec being out of commission for the next three months, he had nothing but time on his hand. So he would make sure the puppies are well taking care of, along with everyone else. "Yes Jace, you can get a golden retriever," Alec says, laughing at Jace fist pump the air and dance around the room. Riley and Sariah joining in on the fun. Magnus found it amusing and recorded the entire fiasco. That was until Jace ran, taking Alec into his arms peppering kisses all over his head and face muttering "thank you". Magnus didn't like that one bit.
Brother or not no one kisses his Alexander like that but him. "Hands off Blondie! I'm the only one allowed to kiss me baby like that. Kiss him again and you will wake up with one side of your head shaved bald and the other side dyed hot pink to match your nails and toes." Magnus threatened, causing Alec to burst out laughing at the scandalous look on his brothers face. Jace smirked leaning in Magnus's face. "Make it violet and you've got yourself a deal." he kissed Alec's head once more before bolting from the room with Magnus hot on his heels.
In the backyard he could hear Jace screaming "Mercy" loudly in a squeak like tone. He didn't even want to know what was going on with those two. He settled back on the couch, tablet in hand as be checked his emails and ordered more school supplies and shows for everyone. Yes it would've been way cheaper going to the malls for it, but seeing as he's down for the count. He had to make due. Plus he needed to pay bills before everything gets cut off. Speaking of which his light bill was four hundred dollars and he nearly had a heart attack. His light bill was never over two hundred dollars! Oh these damn lights will be turned the fuck off! His water bill was higher as well. All the Bill's were except for cable. Having an unlimited data plan, plus home security. It was always the same. This is what happens when people stay with you. Your bills go up.
Alec paid all the bills. Thank goodness for his new trust fund from his grandparents and in-laws. Money isn't a problem anymore, but he still refuses to spend thousands of dollars for no reason. You never know what could happen. He paid his and Max's cell phone. Speaking of which he ordered a metropcs card for Max, so he could get into the groove of paying his own bill when Alec isn't around or forgets to do it one day. Pregnancy brain and all.
"Hey Alec, um, I need your help," Izzy says sitting beside her big brother with those brown puppy eyes. Alec read her like a book, "What did you buy and forgot to pay?" She looked at him with guilty eyes, biting her lipstick stained bottom lip. Honestly Alec doesn't know why Isabelle and Magnus have to put on this dramatic performances. It's quicker to just get to the point!
Rolling his eyes Alec looks are her in exasperation, "Puppy dog eyes don't work with me, Isabelle. You should know that already. Riley and Sariah already know that. So either tell me what it is you need help with or go away. I'm busy with paying bills. So I will say this again. Out with it!" he says sternly, never once raising his voice. Izzy huffed when she didn't get the reaction she wanted. Her little tricks might work on her other three brothers and everyone else, but alec is immune to all of them. It's really annoying.
"Fine. So, Jace and I went to the store yesterday and bought new phones. But we wanted the iPhone instead of a android phone." She hesitated telling him the price because she knows alec is going to flip. She looks at her brother who hasn't taken his eyes off of her, starting at him with the most beautiful eyes that (looked more green in the lighting) will soon hold disappointment in them. Clearing her throat. the phones were right hundred dollars, not to mention insurance and accessories. Our car insurance is due and we don't have enough to pay it so we were wondering if you could pay one half and we pay the other."
Alec shook his head. What could he say? That he was disappointed that his siblings are irresponsible and selfish? No, because they are still learning, and he understands wanting things from himself. Magnus has been getting to upgrade Alec's phone since forever, but some things aren't important to him like they are others. Alecs mindset is: why pay two hundred dollars on a phone when that same two hundred dollars could go towards a bill or clothes for his babies or groceries when his Food Stamp card is all out. He just has a different mindset than most people. Alec has no problem spending money on his babies and bills. He rarely gets himself anything.
Which is probably why mangus spoils him to death without him know about it. Like upgrading his wardrobe when he's at work, or buying him jewelry. That man was going to be the death of him one day and alec would gladly die with a smile on his face. "Okay, I'll pay half. But this is the last time, you and Jace need to prioritizes your money. If you know you have insurance to pay, out that money to the side and don't spend it. If you can't do that, then hand me the money and I'll will pay it for you. Yeah better yet give me the money. I don't trust the two of you if you're out with Simon and Clary. You four cant hold money to save your lives." Alec holds his hand out for her to place the money on his palm.
Izzy smiled and quickly placed the money in Alec's hand. Together they sat and paid the car insurance online. Alec explaining how yo do it and the easier way to pay bills online. Izzy smiled nodding her head. Being seventeen she didn't know that much stuff being a kid and all, but she was grateful for having her big brother back in her life. She opened her mouth to say something, but the words said on her tongue when the doorbell rang out. She heard Alec whisper yes excitedly. Magnus walked towards the door, looking through the glass seeing who it was. A man with long hair, dressed in farming attire should at the door with what seemed to be a carrying case. The puppies, of course he thought to himself. He opened the door with a bright smile, letting the man inside.
"Morning, you must be magnus? Alec's told me so much about you. Glad to see you here with your family." Jordan said with a honest smile. Magnus shook his hand chuckling at his fiance's indignant cry of "hey" clearly Jordan said too much. Said man didn't look guilty at all, instead he teasingly smiled at his friend sat on the couch with betrayed glare on his face. Being the adult that he is, Jordan stuck his tongue out at him before joking him on the couch. Izzy and Magnus watched the two bicker on the couch for a few minutes. Clearing these two are friends and not strangers like Magnus thought were. Shrugging his shoulders, he closed the door and joined the two by sitting on the coffee table in front of his fiance.
Jordan gave them the history of Belgian Malinois and how to take care of them and the explained the importance of training them early as of 6/7 weeks old. Alec knew this already by many videos he watched and the long phone calls to Jordan about his worries and insecurities. Jordan spoke about their health issues and about how to groom them before spending the carrier, letting them out. They waddle out the cage on the couch sniffling Alec before attempting to climb on his lap. The cuteness. Alec was obsessed with them already. Just as Alec lifted one of the puppies to get puppy kisses from. Max walked in the room with Riley and Sariah on each hip. Clearly tired from running around outside.
As soon as they caught sight of the puppies, all exhaustion evaporated and excitement was replaced. Squirming in their uncle's arms, Max carefully placed them on the floor. They cheered happily running to the puppies. "Ah ah, gently ladies." Alec told them before letting them pet the puppies. The girls fell in love with them, and didn't want to part from them when Alec tried to pick on up. Yelling "No, dada! No!" Magnus and the other chuckled and watched the three bicker over the puppies. In the end Alec lost, and asked Jordan to place them on the floor so they can play with the puppies. Again Alec told them to be careful and gently with them.
Jordan then explained their raw diet, as they watched the girls crawl around the floor with the puppies following after them. Magnus and Isabelle recorded the interaction and posted the videos on their social media pages. Of course Magnus being the social guru that he was, made an account for his girls and it blew up in a few hours. Alec was afraid of the bate and backlash they would get but magnus assured him that it was just fine. Apparently people were in love and obsessed with the girls as well. What Alec didn't know was that Magnus uploaded videos and pictures of Alec with the girls and told the world about their story. He received a lot of support and some hate, but you never let the negativity get to you. He snapped at a few people and they deleted their comments afterwards. Cowards. He then went on about his day.
Now he was getting notifications like crazy. Alec looked at him in confusion not understanding why his fiance's phone was chiming like crazy. Magnus put his phone on vibrate, and finished speaking with Jordan. An hour later, the rest of the family made an appearance (Jace/Clary, Simon, Jason/Thalia and Nadia/James) and played with the puppies while Alec paid Jordan. Jordan asked for their names so he could write it on their papers. Hearing the names made Jordan laugh, but after alec explained why he named them that he understood perfectly.
Horus: Protection of all
Anubis: Guardian/protector against evil-doers
Meaning fuck with their family, you will die. Magnus walked outside to get the puppies food and checked the mail to see if they had anything. Alec's orders should be there by the end of the day, which was perfect because the family has to head to the mall to get more clothes. Plus magnus had to go and pick up Alec's surprise. A brand new Nissan six seater truck, midnight blue with silver flakes to match the night sky perfectly. Alec loves watching the stars and moon before heading to bed. Magnus has caught him outside on the back porch, laying on the couch watching the stars. If he didn't bring Alec into the house, he was sure his fiance would've slept outside. Shaking his head, magnus gathered the mail then headed inside the house to get ready for the day.
