The Warriors had to travel to Houston for their game. The wanted to go, but Magnus said no, because they were moving that week, and had a lot of work to do. They tried to go behind Magnus' back and ask Alec, which resulted in in them being grounded for a month. They weren't allowed to attend any of the Warriors games for a month. Magnus was shocked to hear Alec disciplining their children for misbehaving and being sneaky.
He was proud of his fiancé and made sure to tell him that.
The kids were not happy about their punishment and cried, but Alec and Magnus didn't back down. They needed to learn when their fathers say no, then it's no. Not going behind the others back to ask the same question seeing if they could get a different answer from the first.
(Don't give her no Goddamn cookies- Kevin Hart)
It's doesn't work that way. They tried to pop an attitude with Alec. But with one look from their stepfather made them sober up rather quickly.
Not wanting to get in more trouble than they already were.
Alec wasn't happy about not being at the house while they moved in. He wanted to see the kids reactions to their bedrooms. It's been a month since they left the house and Alec had it painted the next day while he was at practice.
He had to suck it up and deal with it. He had a job to do in Houston and needed to focus on that. It was still early in the morning, so Alec and Magnus spoke for a few hours while the movers loaded the truck.
Magnus and the kids were driving to their home instead of taking a helicopter. Magnus needed his cars to get around San Fran, and Alec would most likely be gone in the mid-morning for practice. So they needed separate cars.
Magnus helped his kids load their bags in the car and made sure they all used the restroom before leaving. It's was a 5-hour drive, and Magnus wanted to get home quickly, but carefully.
Isabelle bought Magnus' house a few weeks ago and Magnus couldn't be happier. He was afraid of selling it to someone who wasn't going to take care of the home properly. But he could trust Izzy with this fully. So he has no problem selling to her.
Magnus took one last walk-through making sure they didn't forget anything if they did Isabelle would send it to them or Magnus could pick it up when he returns to work.
Not seeing anything. Magnus made his way back to the car, getting inside bug not before turning to see if his children were buckled in correctly. Rafael was in the passenger seat smiling ready to get on the road.
The movers were following Magnus the whole time so they needed to get going. Alec wanted Magnus to call whenever they made it. His fiance is a worry wart so to ease his sweetheart mind, he made a promise to call him as soon as they were driving on the street.
"Papa, can I borrow your headphones? I have mine to Max." Rafael asked.
Magnus nodded handing them over before pulling off.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, can you tell me where Max' s headphones are?"
Rafael shook his head. "No, because he lost them or left them at home. Maybe dad picked them up and put them away. Can we call and ask him?"
"Hmmm," Magnus hums. "No I don't think we can, he's probably doing press for tonight's game. But we can call him as soon as we get home. He promised to speak with you guys before the game starts."
Rafael nods in understanding. "I can't wait to see my room. It's going to look so cool. Dad said we should pick how we want it when we're teenagers because it would be hard doing it later with everyone's busy schedules."
Magnus smiles. "That's true. With me opening a new branch in San Francisco, you'll start a new school, and Alexander always at practice or working it's hard to make time for things like that.
But if you'll really want to change your room when you get older, I'll speak with your dad and see what we can do. After basketball season is over, he'll have enough time to make car few calls."
Rafael thinks for a moment before responding. "No, I think the only person that going to want to change their room is Max. He chose a Spider-Man themed room, dad asked him so many times if he was sure. But Max wouldn't budge. Dad said when he gets older and starts having girls or boys over, he'll want to change it them."
Magnus chuckles shaking his head at his son. Max loved his superheroes, and probably will even when he gets older, but Alec dis have a point. Someday Max will come to them and ask if he could get his room redone, and Alec would probably laugh muttering 'I told you so' as he helped Max decide what he wants next.
"He will, and so will the rest of you. You're still young, but when you all get older and puberty hits, a lot of things will be different. But we still have some years to go. I don't want you guys to grow up fast, I want you'll to stay kids for long as possible."
Rafael rolled his eyes. "Papa don't start getting sappy on me now. Save that for dad."
Magnus gasped. "Why I have never heard such disrespect before in my life! Oh, that's it, you're turning into your dad and I don't like it one bit." Magnus fake cries, "how dare you say that I am sappy. That is so not true."
A voice from the back seat shocks him even more.
"Because you are papa. But I think it's cute, so I don't mind your sappiness." Amelia says not looking up from her tablet.
"Thank you, my dear. That's why you're my favorite." Magnus says sticking his tongue out at Rafael who laughs and sticks his out at Magnus.
They talk about any and everything until the kids fall asleep and Magnus is up alone driving in peace and quiet for the next two hours.
They arrive at the house and Magnus immediately calls his fiance on the cars Bluetooth speaker. It doesn't take Alec long to pick up.
"Hey baby, did you guys make it home safely?"
Magnus could hear the noise of Alec's teammates in the background. It's almost game time so Alec must have been on his way to the court for warm-ups.
"Yes, we made it safe an sound. The kids are asleep at the moment, but I just wanted to call and let you know that we made it. I know its time for your warm-up so I'll let you go."
Alec chuckles and Magnus hears his teammates in the background making kissing noises. Kids. Alec tells them all to shut up and let him talk to his fiance. They make catcalls and whistles as Alec annoying him.
Alec sighs into the phone. "I hate them all, I really do."
"No you don't, you love us, Alec. Tell Bane we said hello and we miss the kids." Jace says in the background.
"Shut it, Jace! Geez, or I'll tell Clary what you did with that shirt she bought you."
Magnus could tell by the way Alexander was laughing that Jace made a pleading expression.
"Anyway Mags, I'm glad you made it safely, I wish I was there to help you, but at least I have to work. I'll call the kids once I'm done with my warm-up, can you make sure they are up within an hour?"
"Will do angel. I love you, talk you soon."
"I love you too baby."
Magnus gets out the car and unlocks the house door for the movers. Colt came running out jumping on Magnus' legs. Magnus smiled and picked up his baby giving him kisses.
Magnus wanted Colt and the kids out of the way so he walked colt over to the car and place him in the driver's seat while the movers unloaded the trucks.
Colt barked a few times waking the kids up. When they were fully functional, they smiled and greeted their puppy. Magnus smiled and took a few videos and photos of the five of them.
WarlockBane: Moving day! Finally home after a five-hour drive. Lots of work to do, but having these five wonderful children to keep me company while my Fiance is working is all I need. AlecLightwood30 we miss you lots and wish we could be at the game tonight, but we have unpacking to do. Goodluck tonight darling! Love you!
Magnus was unpacking the kitchen when he heard his kids frantically shouting his name. He rushed into the living room to see what the fuss was all about when he saw his kids glued to the tv with tears in their eyes watching their father lay on the court holding his knee.
They were showing the replay of the play and how hard Alec went down on the floor. Houston just had a hurricane, so the arena was leaking water and Alec slipped hard on the floor. He wasn't the only player to fall, but he was the only player injured.
Magnus grabbed his phone and dialed Catarina immediately, this couldn't be happening. Alec was on fire tonight leading the scoreboard with 43 points in the third quarter and wouldn't have more if he didn't slip on water.
Catarina wasn't answering her phone. Of course, she wouldn't, she needed to make sure her client was okay.
"Come on dad get up. You have to get up!" Merliah says loudly.
The kids released the breath they were holding when Alec got up and limped off the court being held up by Jace and Jordan. Magnus hugged his kids promising that Alec would be okay. If anything he'll be out for a few games, but nothing major. They nodded not really believing what he was saying. The game went on commercial and Magnus' phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and picked up quickly.
"Cat, how is he?"
"Its just a sprain but they are running test and getting stays done now making sure nothing is damaged. He went down hard, we heard it when it happened, but not to worry I'll call you as soon as he's done."
Magnus sighs in relief. "Thank you, Catarina."
"You're welcome hun, tell the kids to relax I know they must be frantic seeing their father get injuries because of a slippery floor."
Magnus let out a frustrated grunt. "They should've had the game here instead of in a wet arena knowing that it wasn't safe to let them play with water leaking from the ceiling. I just hope no one else gets hurt."
"Same here. I'll be having a meeting with the coaches because they were not happy when Alec went down because of water on the floor. They even voiced that before we flew here. Legal actions may be involved, but I have to go now, Alec will call you as soon as the game is over."
"Okay, thank you Cat."
Magnus looks at his children when he ended the call and gave them a small smile. "She said daddy will be okay its just a sprain but they are running some tests making sure that's all it is. Think positive thoughts okay, that's all we can do for now. She promised that Alec would call as soon as he's done.
Now come on and let's finish packing so it won't be a mess for when he returns home okay?"
They nod and get to work. Rafael turned the game off disgusted after watching his father and favorite athlete get injured. Instead, he turns on some music and (5sos) starts cleaning up the living room with his siblings.
Magnus makes his way back into the kitchen to finish unpacking the kitchenware. He was nearly done when his kids shouted his name.
Still worried about his fiance, Magnus cleaned the kitchen quickly, then moved to help the kids with the living room, and downstairs bathrooms. He needed to stay busy or he would panic, and that wouldn't be good for him or his children.
If they see him panicking, then they would know that something is wrong and he couldn't have that so he worked quickly and made his children laugh and forget about their father's injury.
It's was now late when Alec called them to explain to them what the doctors said. He confirmed that it was just a sprain and will need to have his knee in a brace for a week or two, and then they would see how it went from there.
Alec would be been traveling with his team to Boston, but coach wanted him home resting his knee and meeting with his doctors and team physicians the day after tomorrow.
Magnus wanted to pick him up from the airport, but Alec told him not to. Magnus wanted to protest, but his fiance wasn't having it. Alec wanted them all to rest and relax since they've been moving stuff all day.
After a much amusing argument between the five of them, It was now time for the kids to go to bed.
Magnus tucked them all in bed and kissed them goodnight while Alec was still on the phone. He wished them sweet dreams as well and promised to be home before they woke up the next morning.
Alec and Magnus spoke for a few more hours before they both fell asleep on the phone.
Sorry for any mistakes...
