Since their bonding three nights ago. Magnus has been washed over with sadness and depression on top of that Alec has been closing himself off again after he promised he wouldn't. He's been in a daze whenever they would see each other. Alec would say that he was fine, but Magnus knew he was lying. He could feel everything Alec was feeling. If Magnus asked what was going on, but Alec would ignore him like he wasn't even talking to him. That hurt a lot. Magnus was doing everything in his power to make Alec happy, but nothing worked.

Hell, he even tried asking Lydia, but she was in the same state as Alec, but minor. Alec would leave school early, and Simon even told him that he hasn't been to work for four days now. He asked Sophia what was going on, she smiled sadly and told him to give him sometimes. But time for what? What the hell is going on with his mate? He hated feeling like a hole has been punched through his heart. It was killing him.

It was now Thursday and Magnus was still getting no answers from Alec. He knew Alec didn't regret being mated. What he didn't know is why he was getting this numbing feeling today. He called Alec, but no response. He tried Michael, still nothing. Magnus was getting sick of this. Even the pack noticed how distant Alec has gotten and would ask if everything was okay between them. Magnus would tell them the truth. He didn't know. They stopped by Alec's house but got no answer. The receptionist said they haven't been home for a week now.

So where the hell was Alec going to get ready for school? Magnus asked John if he knew where Lydia stayed, that was a weird conversation. But after Magnus explained that Alec has been acting distant, John agreed and said Lydia was acting the same way. So whatever is going on, it must be huge if both of them are acting this way.

They drove to Lydia's apartment. John knocked on the door and Lydia's mother answer looking distraught. Her eyes were red and puffy.

"Can I help you?" She asked in a quiet voice.

"I'm sorry to bother you this evening ma'am but I'm
John Monteverde Lydia's mate. This is Magnus Bane Alec's mate and pack members." She shook all their hands.

"Nice to meet you'll I'm Candace."

"We were wondering if she was here."

"No, I'm sorry. She's no longer stays here. She moved out two days ago." Candace says sadly.

The group groans in frustration.

"Do you know where she moved to?" Magnus asked.

"No, a and she didn't want to tell me. She wants nothing to do with me. I don't blame her, I've always treated her terribly. Michael was the one to raise her when she would run away months at a time."

"Where is Michael? I've tried to hold of him, but he isn't answering the phone." Magnus says. Candace looks at him with sad eyes, like there's a secret he doesn't know.

"Is something wrong with Michael or something? Why are you looking at me like that?

She shakes her sad stiffly. "I'm sorry, but I must go. Give Lydia my best when you see her. Have a good night." She hurries inside closing the door in their faces.

Magnus let's out a frustrated growl. He hates being kept in the dark especially when it comes to his mate. They leave the house, but Magnus doesn't go with them he needs to calm down. He knows Alec can feel his anger, waves of guilt shot through him but he's not understanding what Alec is guilty about.

Magnus runs, then turns into a large black wolf with red eyes. He runs and runs until his anger is all out. He ends up in a forest just outside of New York, the same place Magnus took Alec in a date at. But it was interrupted by their pack members. They raced all day, and it was one of the happiest moments they shared together.

So why was Alec being this cold to him?

Alec has been in spite much pain these last few days. His father was on the brink of death, and he couldn't handle any of it. On top of that, the more he stays away from his Alpha, the more their bond thumbs with pain. Alec knew he should at least explain what's going on, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. Every time he would get the courage to tell Magnus, the words get stuck in his throat.

The look on his lover's face kills him every time Alec would lie saying he was fine, knowing full well he isn't. Alec just needs this time with his father and no one else. He wants to spend every minute with him. He's been sleeping in the hospital for five days now, and he would wake up with morning sickness but would brush it off.

Michael, however, heard him puking his heart out in the bathroom and asked him if he was alright. Alec smiled sadly and nodded, but Michael knew better than to believe his son.

"Come here, Alexander," Michael says in a weak voice.

Alec walks closers to his father standing over him.

Michael smiles as he catches a whiff of his son's scent mixed with something else. "You're mated now? Oh, I'm so proud of you. I know you and Magnus will be happy together, also amazing parents."

Alec grimaced making Michael chuckle.

"You didn't use protection when you were in heat did you?"

"No, I didn't think it was important. He's my alpha after all, and I didn't think I would get pregnant my first time. I'm not pregnant right?" Alec looked scared hearing he might be pregnant. He couldn't handle that, along with losing his father.

Michael chuckled, but it turned into a hurtful cough. Alec grabbed his father some water and helped him drink it. Michael settled after that. Alec was scared shitless his father could go any moment now.

"When an Omega is pregnant, their scent is sweeter and you my boy smell like a basket of candy. Congratulations AL. I know you're scared, but you have a family to help you with this. Magnus is going to be ecstatic. I'm going to be a grandfather. Oh, I'm so happy, you have no idea how much this means to me. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Allie. Never forget that. I love you so much, and I will be watching over you and your child. You're going to have some beautiful pups Alec, make sure you get checked out. Catarina would be delighted to examine you."

Alec placed a hand on his stomach and smiled. A life was growing inside of him. A life him and Magnus created together, he would tell Magnus later tonight.

"I love you, dad. Do you want me to ask Cat to examine me now so you could see it?"

Michael grinned widely. "I would love to see my grandchild AL. Send Sean in would you, and make sure you eat something. You haven't touched any food in days, and that's not healthy now that you're pregnant."

"I will Pops! I'll sneak you in some ice cream." Alec winked at his father.

"Make sure it's chocolate," Michael said weakly. Alec kissed his father's forehead before he left the room.

Alec wanted to experience this information with his father so he asked Dr. Loss if she could examine him in his father's room. She smiled and nodded. "I can make that happen for you sweetheart. But first let me check your vitals, and blood work."

She congratulated him on becoming a father then had a nurse wheel in another bed so she could check out the baby growing inside Alec. She bought in the Ultrasound machine and placed it so Michael could see the screen. Lydia joined them before as Alec got comfortable on the bed. She ran over to Alec's side grabbing his hand tightly.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with him? Please tell me nothing is wrong, I don't think I'm mentally prepared to lose Alec too." She began to shed tears. Alexander not seeing his best friend cry, he pulled her into his arms whispering that he was fine, he was just pregnant. Her head shot up as she stared at him with huge blue eyes.

"Your pregnant and you didn't tell me?!" She whispered screamed. He rolled his eyes and gave her a 'really bitch' look.

"As if I knew you, idiot! Dad told me I was when he heard me puking my lungs out. Now shut up so we can see if I'm really about to be a parent."

She slapped his thigh hard as a warning. "Keep something like this from me again and I will end you," She threatened. "Also I'm the Godmother no matter what. I'm claiming that title."

Everyone laughed, including Michael but it was more like a cough.

Dr. Loss poured some cool gel on Alec's stomach, then began moving the scanner around Alec's stomach. Michael's eyes were glued to the screen as the fetuses became clear.

"How many do you see?" Dr. Loss asked.

"I see two." Michael answered with a weak smile on his face.

"I see two as well, but I need to look around during to make sure it's no more than two," Catarina said.

"More than two? Cat please don't make jokes." Alec said seriously.

"Let me look."

She zoomed in a bit. "See there's a good view of one. Heartbeat ticking away beautifully." She took pictures of it. "Wait, I see two heartbeats there."

"So his having triplets?" Michael asked.

"I'm not sure just yet." She answered. "I can see a flutter on the left as well. Heartbeats are strong which is good. I see more than two here also." She took more pictures of the babies.

"I thought babies would be the site of a grain of rice, they look bigger than that," Lydia says looking at Catarina.

"Yes, but we are supernatural creatures, so pregnancy fetuses growth rate is rapid. Alec may only be a week but the babies growth is four weeks now and will continue to grow each week. A normal mundane pregnancy would be for nine months. But like I said we are supernatural creatures so Alec would delivery these babies for 6 months and they healthy. But only if he takes care of himself, and eats healthy exercise daily." Catarina explained.

Alec was stuck on the part he was pregnant with four pups and only 19 years old. What was he going to do about college? He probably could take courses online, but he wanted to experience the college life. Well, he would have to give that up and stay at home to raise his children until they were old enough to be placed in daycare.

He was so deep in thought he didn't hear Sean call his name until Lydia shook his shoulder. He jumped as he was boroughs back to the present. Everyone looked worried that he might pass out any moment. He shook his head clear of the fuzziness and smiled.

"Thank you, Dr. Loss, would it be alright if I take these pictures with me?" He asked hesitantly. She smiled brightly. "I printed four different set of the pictures for you, Lydia, Sean and the pups father. Of course, you can take them sweets."

She kissed his forehead and left the room. Alec wiped his stomach off and stared at the pictures. His emotions were all over the place, he didn't know if he wanted to be happy, sad, scared, depressed, or heartbroken. His father's voice broke him out of his thoughts. Michael was reaching out to him. Alec grabbed his hand tightly as he moved to sit in the chair beside his bed.

"I'm so happy for you Allie. You're going to be an amazing father and I wish I could be there when they are born, but my time has come. Thank you for sharing this special moment with me. I'm glad I was here for your first ultrasound. Please take care of yourself my darling. I love you so much. Never forget how strong you are." With that, Michael took his last breath, and his hand gave out in Alec's grip.

Alec was in shock. "Dad," Alec said, but Michael made no movement. "DAD!" Alec screamed as Catarina rushed into the room when the alerts went off inside the hospital.

Sean grabbed Alec holding him tightly. Alec heart broken into a million pieces right then and there. Catarina turned off the machines and called time of death. The nurses and Doctors walked out the room, giving the family some time to themselves. Alec felt as if he was going to pass out. He had to hold it together like his father wanted him to, but it was too damn hard. Alec walked over to his father and kissed his forehead that was still warm.

"I love you, dad, always and forever. Thank you so much for taking care of me." He said his goodbyes and backed away for Lydia and Sean to say there's.

Michael didn't want a funeral. He said there were too many fake people in this world and he didn't want them there crying fake tears as if they knew him. He wanted to be cream mated, and he wanted them to spread his ashes in the oceans of Hawaii where he taught Alec and Lydia how to surf.

Alec, Lydia, and Sean made plans to flew there next weekend after their performance. He could miss any more days of school if he did he wouldn't be able to graduate. Alec took a deep as a nurse wheeled his father's body to the morgue for processing.

Sean hugged Alec tightly. "Do you want to come with me tonight? You don't have to be Alone AL."

Alec shook his head no. "I'm going to stay with Magnus tonight. I have to explain why I've been distant. I'll be okay eventually."

"Okay, call me if you need anything okay? And I mean anything. We're family, you're my son as well. Even if you're a pain in the ass sometimes, I still love you."

Alec pushed Sean playfully. "I love you too Sean, and thank you for making my father happy, and for taking the responsibility as a stepfather. I never told you how much I appreciate everything you've done for and I'm sorry for that."

Sean chuckled and shook his head. "I knew what I signed up for 6 years ago."

They said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.

Alec made it to Magnus' house and opened the door. He was greeted by his pack members asking him if he was okay, but he was too numb to even speak. He just shook his head and headed straight to his Alphas room. But what he saw broke his heart even more. Camille had he lips on his Alpha. Magnus pushed her away about to yell at her but froze when he saw Alec with a hurt expression.

Alec laughed darkly. "Of all days you pick today to cheat on me with the school's slut! My day just can't get any worse could it?"

Magnus rushed to his side trying to explain, but Alec didn't want to hear it. "Alexander I swear I would never betray you like that. I would never cheat on you ever! Please believe me, she kissed me, not the other way around and I pushed her away." Magnus tried to touch him, but Alec took a step back shaking his head.

Magnus felt the pain coming from his omega but it was ten times worse. With a shaky hand, Alec reached into his pocket pulling out the ultrasound pictures. He slammed them into Magnus' chest with so much force Magnus hissed in pain.

"Congratulations Magnus your a father, but after tonight I want nothing to do with you. We're done, you can go back to your tramp." Alec rushed out the house with tears in his eyes. Magnus was rushing after him calling his name, but Alec didn't look back. He got in his car and speed away with Magnus running after him but he couldn't keep up with the car. Alec drove to Sean's house and cried on his shoulder all night.

He lost his father, he found out he was pregnant, and now his Alpha cheated on him with a slut. Alec was in so much pain, it numbed his ability to feel anything else
