Max was over the moon, because it was his first time shopping on his own. Well not the first time, but it was the FIRST time he would be able to pick out the clothes that best fit his style. Alec sat in his wheelchair whilst his brother and fiance went crazy in Rue21. Max's arms were full of clothes. So full Alec had to hold them, along with Magnus' clothes. Of course being the dutiful fiance that he was, he picked out various of clothing for Alec. Though Alec argued that he didn't need any more clothes, Magnus wasn't hearing it. Not used to being taking care of like this, Alec sighed and went along with it. They spent damn near two thousand dollars in one store and Alec thought he was going to have a heart attack, tack, tacky (Haha *big fella* davis).
"Alexander darling relax. I promise after we're done school shopping, I won't be spending this much money okay?" Magnus say sensing Alec's inner struggles. Alec nodded, accepting the kiss from his gorgeous fiance.
Next store was Express Factory. They met the others there. Izzy looked as I'd she was in her element. Seeing that smile on her face, Alec promised to always keep it there. On all of his siblings faces. He could tell they haven't smiled that freely in the two years Alec was gone. Alec silently prayed to the Lord above to keep him and his family happy.
"Hey Mags, after this could we go pick out dress shirts and slacks. I like to switch up my attire every once and a while and since we can wear whatever we want Thursdays and fridays, I want to have varieties of clothes." Magnus beamed at Max's question. Oh this young man was going places! Magnus himself loved dressing in formal fashion. Why wouldn't he? That's how he won over the love of his life heart. The style on Magnus makes Alec go weak at the knees.
Hearing his little brother ask Magnus about suits and such had Alec quite flushed. Dress shirts did wonders for his fiance's arms! Jesus it's like his biceps would burst throw at any moment! The thought made Alec's mouth water. Judging by the smug look on his fiance's face, he knew where Alec's mind ventured to. Smug bastard.
"Okay so I need shoes, and so do the girls so meet me at Kids Foot Locker alright? You all have fun shopping until your heart's content, I don't think I will survive hearing the total of any of your purchases." Alec wheeled himself to the door only to be stopped by Magnus. He looked at Alec with a sad expression.
"I thought you wanted to shop with us baby, I know shopping isn't really your thing, buy I want us to spend time together to make up for lost times. Mom and Dad have the girls probably in the toy store buying them everything. Which I know they don't need but, hey their grandparents and wants to spoil them for life." Alec chuckles nodding in agreement that Thalia and Jason was buying the entire store for Sariah and Riley. "Please stay with me love." Magnus did his best puppy eyes and Alec caved! No way would he be able to resist those rich beautiful brown eyes.
Sighing in defeat, Alec smiled up at his fiance who did a celebratory dance by wiggling his hips (something the girls got from their Papa) then gave Alec a sweet tender kiss. "I love you baby, thank you for staying with us, I know you must be in pain, so after this i promise to get you and our baby something to eat and drink before heading into the next store, how does that sound?"
"Its sounds good, now come on I know you want to get back to shopping. I'll even let you buy me whatever you want because I know you are dying to fill my closet with clothes that I'm not going to be able to wear after a while." Magnus nearly squealed as he quickly pushed Alec over to where Max and Jace were arguing over a pair of jeans.
Can't take them anywhere!
As promised Magnus bought Alec a soft breaded pretzel with cheese sauce with a bottle of water before heading to the next store. It didn't take long, both Magnus and Max were measured for the apparel and were promised to have a selection for them in the next hour. Which was no problem because Alec wanted to pick out some shoes. He might not be a big clothing fanatic like his family, but shoes were a different story entirely.
Magnus pushed Alec into men's foot locker and together they picked a few pair of matching shoes for them and the girls. Jason and Thalia joined them soon, wanting some shoes for themselves. "Dude this is not cool, you could've told us you were coming here! I thought we were bro's." Jace cried. Alec rolled his eyes in a sassy like manner making Magnus die with laughter.
"Well if you weren't so busy with your tongue down Red's throat you would've known. But no, since we entered the mall, the four of you left us first to go and do your own things. So don't get snippy with me Christopher. I seem to recall you going into a few of my favorite stores without me, so squeeze me." Alec showed Jace his hand and the two burst out laughing thinking of the movie White Chicks.
Clary on the other hand was blushing with embarrassment because her best friend was absolutely right. Her and Jace have had plenty of makeout sessions in dressing rooms. Not that Alec or anyone else needed to know that. "Yeah, whatever come on my turn. I need your help picking out shoes, while Magnus pays for your stuff." Jace says pushing his brother in law out of the way. The two of them bickered fighting over who was going to push Alec. In the end, Max stole Alec away. Jace and Magnus were still going at it. Sad really.
"I need your help Alec. U wont some stylish combat boots that goes well with my uniform, in the winter." Alec nodded.
"Well I wouldn't get them from here, they have this store somewhere down stairs that has loads of boots. We could check them out once we leave here. I'm getting hungry any way. You could get some Nike Woodside 2's if you want. They sort of looks like boots but aren't. I have a few pair of them. They're extremely comfortable. Don't tell Pops, but I swear them to work all the time. Standing for twelve hours can be trouble on your feet. Plus they are breathable." Alec explained.
"Yeah, sounds good." Max chuckled. The two picked out a bunch of Air Max's for Max in almost every color. Alec paid for Max's shoes, before he could thank the man, he was stolen again and this time Jace got ahold of him. Alec sighed, this was going to be a long day.
Finally after leaving the shoe stores, it was time to go baby crazy. Meaning Magnus, Izzy, Jason and Thalia went nuts. Buying damn near the entire store. Not just for the new baby, but the girls as well. Alec watched the clothes pile and nearly had a panic attack. Who the hell was going to hang all this shit up? Alec thought to himself. Because, he was bed ridden until he held properly. His wrist was still fractured and was going to take weeks to heal.
"Hey guys, don't you think that enough?" Apparently that was the wrong question to ask as the women glared at him. Sighing, Alec left them to their own devices. While him and Max went to the toy and book section with the girls. Unlike the rest of their family, alec was all about books. He read to Riley and Sariah every night, even as he was pregnant. The girls loved book as well, but at the moment they wanted toys and Max was no help. He handed them a bunch of toys, and added some to the cart.
Ugh! Magnus pulled Max out the store with him whilst everyone else was at the register. Alec looked at the two with confusion written on his face. Maybe they were going to get their clothes from the store. Alec shrugged and watched the price go up on the register.
"Magnus OH MY GOD! HE'S GOING TO FLIP!" Max shouted seeing the two cars. Magnus bought himself an Audi SUV Slytherin green with silver interior. The rim's were green and silver as well. Magnus even had the Serpent painted on the car doors. It looks so sick! Max himself was a ravenclaw boy, but man did Magnus out did himself!
"So you're designing my car right? Please! This is so sick!" Max excitedly shouted. Alec's was bad ass as too with the different constellations throughout the car. Something Alec new and loved. "We can work on the design next weekend, but for now we need to head back and let these gentlemen drive the cars home. Alec will be looking for us, it's nearly time for his medicine. So we need to go eat."
Magnus thanked the crew for their help after paying them and tipping them handsomely.
Together they made their way towards the food court with beaming smiles on their faces.
