Epilogue

Alec made his way into the bedroom and found his lover sleeping on his side breathing lightly. The room was dark save for the light of the moon casting down on them from the window overhead. In pants and a simple grey shirt, Alec padded over to the bed and gently crawled under the sheets. At the sound if the bed creaking, Magnus turned. Alec comfortably settled onto his side and looked back at amber eyes.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" He asked. Magnus shook his head.
"I was just resting my eyes." He teased and that drew a smile from Alec. "How is Adam?"
"I finally got him to sleep." Alec sighed. Magnus affectionately reach out and brushed his hand over Alec's cheek and captured his soft tender lips. At this gesture, the blue eyes man scooted closer and tangled his hands in Magnus hair and gently pulled at it. The older man purred in response and rolled on top of Alec one knee between his legs.
"I thought you said you were tired?" Alec smirked.
"I never said that, love. I was merely waiting for your arrival." Magnus said kissing him sweetly, his hands cupping the man's cheeks. Magnus was ready to pry open Alec's mouth and show just how awake he was, when there was a soft knock on the door. Magnus sighed inwardly shifting off Alec and they looked to find their little three-year-old daughter Monica, stand at the door in a pink frilly nightdress. Her long black hair curled just below her shoulders and her head was tilted slightly downward so that her bangs hovered over her brown chestnut eyes. She was clutching her teddy bear tight against her chest and she seemed shaken.
"Daddy," she said shyly.
"What's wrong dear?" Magnus asked sitting up.
"I had another bad dream." She confessed. Magnus smiled solemnly.
"You want to sleep with us?" She nodded guiltily and Magnus beckoned her to the bed. Monica beamed and jumped onto the bed and snuggled between her parents. Alec tenderly ran his hand through her hair while Magnus brought the sheets up to her shoulders.
"What did you dream about?" Alec asked with concern. The little girl looked sadly at her father.
"Demons." She pouted. Alec was taken aback.
"And where did you hear about that?" Alec demanded.
"In school, Timmy was scaring me and telling me there were monsters and demons that walked the earth. He said that they had red eyes and they strike at night." Alec looked grimly at his husband. Their poor daughter was being taunted and teased at school. Alec would talk with the teacher later but for now, there was nothing that could be done but to try and calm their scared child.
"Well Monica, where there is a dark side, there is always light." Magnus said as a matter of fact. The little girl turned her attention to Magnus and stared in wonder.
"What do you mean?"
"If there are villains and evil creatures then surely there has to be a hero and good creatures right?" She nodded her head. "There must be a balance in the world." Magnus didn't want to confuse his child but for the most part, she understood. "You like fairytales right?" she nodded eagerly. "So imagine this, there are demons lurking in the night ready to strike, but what they don't know is Alec is an angel." Monica jerked her head around to face her father.
"Really!?" She beamed. Alec seemed a little startled at being pulled into the story.
"Well," he paused trying to collect his thoughts. "More like a guardian angel." He said.
"Your father has a sword that glows like the heavens that is used to defeat the bad demons. He loves you very much and he will do anything to protect you. He will fight any demons that try to touch you." Alec smiled and nodded in agreement.
"What about you?" Monica asked Magnus.
"I am the more...enchanted protector. I use magic and spells to keep away evil from you like a wizard, a warlock of you will."
"Does daddy shot sparkles?" She asked eagerly.
"That I do! Lots and lots of it!" Magnus laughed and tickled his daughter playfully. She squealed and tried to wiggle out of his grasp.
"Hey, don't wake up the baby," Alec reminded them both sternly. Magnus placed a hand over his mouth and Monica did the same. They giggled at being scolded and settled back in bed.
Monica curled herself in her father's chest and Magnus protectively wrapped his arms around her, cradling her against him. Alec rubbed her back soothingly until all three drifted into sleep.

It was still new to Alec and Magnus and the lifestyle they lived. It took a while for Alec to accept having the company of a child since he worried very much for their well being. He did not want to put them in an uncomfortable situation because he was gay and married. Magnus had persuaded that it wouldn't matter. He explained that they would be a good parent by learning from their parent's mistake. If the child struggled with anything, then they would work it out together. If their child acted out then he or she would be punished accordingly but after, they would embrace the child and explain why the things they did were bad. It was about communication between the parent and child. Magnus wanted to pass on the lessons he learned through his childhood and growing up, from loving nothing and to loving everything. That was enough for Alec to agree. It was a long process and they had to sign many papers that took months before they were eligible to adopt in outer countries. First they adopted a little baby girl from China that had been abandoned on the streets and brought to the orphanage. They were restless and eager to adopt as they flew to China to pick her up. When they brought her home, she immediately settled in enjoyed the spacious house. As they grew to take care of her they learned she was a rascal with innocent chestnut eyes and they named her Monica. Later when she was two, they decided to adopt another child so she wouldn't be lonely. They were looking to go out of country again but they received a call from a nearby hospital saying there was a woman who was unable to keep her child. At the hospital they met up with the mother and she signed off the papers that allowed them to adopt her child. It was a baby boy with fierce blue eyes like Alec, and they named him Adam.

Magnus woke early for work and carefully slipped out of bed so not to wake his daughter and husband that were curled against each other. He crept out of the room and padded over to Adam's room. He peaked down into the crib and saw his son sleeping soundlessly on his back. Magnus reached down and twined a finger in the baby's hand and Adam curled his nimble fingers around his and made a little whimper. Magnus smiled and gently with the other hand, stroked his head. After a while, he reluctantly pulled away and slipped out of the room. He went over to the bathroom to wash up and changed into his work clothes- a soft pink dress shirt and dark purple vest and tie. He gelled his hair up into individual spikes and lightly applied glitter around his eyes. His passion for glitter and black liner did not call to him as it used to after he adopted his two children. When he was done he went back into the large bedroom and went to the other side of the bed to kiss Alec goodbye. The man stirred and rolled over.

"Hey, are you leaving now?" He asked quietly. Magnus nodded and bent down to kiss Alec on the lips. "Be safe." He whispered before Magnus left.

It was around five in the evening when Magnus drove past the vineyard and he could see the big house on the hill above. He couldn't help but breathed sigh of satisfaction as he realized that the house was his. He drove up to the house and parked his car in the garage and made his way up the front door and stepped inside. He set his bag down onto the table and searched around the house. It was quiet and calm, undisturbed. He happened upon Alec's study and found a canvas being propped on an easel. On a side table there was a pallet that was stained with both dry and newly applied paint. There was also a cup that had paintbrushes soaking in the murky brown water. He leaned against the door frame and admired the half painted scene.

There was an open field with rolling hills and bed flowers. The clouds were heavy and stooped low onto the mountains making it difficult to see. There was lake that trailed around the field that twinkled and glistened with little fishes swimming in the current. On the hill there was little cottage with a windmill and if Magnus looked long enough, he believed he could see it slowly circulating in the water. Though the sky was dark, there seemed to be a peaceful setting. A calm before the storm came. He did notice that there was a grey blotch on one of the clouds and he noticed the attempts of Alec trying to fix it.

It was decided that Alec would stay at home and take care of the children while Magnus went to work during the day. The blue eyed boy spent most of his time in the study painting. He then would submit his work to Seelie and she would see if it was eligible enough to be placed in any upcoming gallery opening. The pieces that didn't get submitted, he sold to the art store. During his free time, Alec would help the workers in the vineyard by picking off the dead spurs on the cordon, watering the vineyard regularly and picking up the dead leaves around the trellis. When Monica wasn't at school, she would her father in the vineyard and bring bottled water to the workers knowing it was difficult to work in the field especially under the heated sun. They adored her enthusiasm and said she gave them the energy to work.

The sound of distant pitter patter getting closer forced him out of his revere and a smile spread across his face. He saw Monica dashing towards him and he squatted to pick her up in his arms. The twirled around with her in his arms and she giggled. She was wearing a bright yellow dress that complimented her eyes.

"Daddy you're home!" She beamed. He held her close and stroked her hair.

"How's my sunshine? No bad dreams last night?" She innocently smiled and shook her head. "Good" Magnus said tapping her little nose. "Where's Alec? Can you tell me?" She nodded again and he set her down and she raced to the back door and slipped outside like a cat. He followed her onto the porch and watched as she dashed down the hill where their back yard was. He saw Alec walking behind Adam as the little baby hobbled forward. Magnus watched with interest as the wind blew, it picked up Alec's sleek black hair and carried it over his blue eyes and the man would involuntarily push it aside. He was wearing a simple black shirt that had a few paint stain marks on it and jeans. Though Magnus and Alec had gone out several times to buy fancier clothing, Alec still liked to wear his dark colors on occasion. Monica had rushed Alec's side and said something to him that caused him to look up in Magnus' direction. The man waved and Alec waved back. He made his way up the hill and stood beside Magnus.

"Hello beautiful" Magnus grinned wrapping his arm around the man's waist pulling him into a tender kiss, and even after all these years, Alec still blushed.

"How was work?" He asked.

"It was good," he said lightly. "I did see the new piece you were painting." He smirked.

"You weren't supposed to see that yet!" Alec said blushing.

"I thought it was beautiful." Magnus protested.

"Yeah well, I probably won't give it to Seelie. I made the mistake in letting Monica sit in the room with me. She splotched a bit fat grey dot on my cloud. I had to change the entire setting of the picture."

"Is that what it was? I thought it was part of the painting." Alec lightly nudged him with his shoulder.

"Haha," he said mockingly. Magnus laughed and placed an arm around his shoulder. They watched as their children rolled around in the yard getting grass in their hair. Monica was dancing around Adam as he attempted to stand on his pudgy little legs. It was a marvelous scene to watch and it brought sweet smiles on their faces. Magnus studied Alec's face and saw that his mind seemed to contemplating on heavy thoughts.

"Are you alright dear?" Alec nodded.

"I still can't believe we got this far Magnus; the house, the vineyard, the kids. It all seems surreal." Alec said shaking his head in disbelief.

"It is a dream indeed." Magnus sighed agreeing. "But we did it together Alexander and that's what's important." Alec faced Magnus and looked into his eyes. They were brilliant green gold but he noticed the age lines sinking in. There were also the lines from where his eyes smiled more often than he thought imaginable. He felt at peace standing beside his lover in the place where they wanted to be and the kids playing downhill. Alec laced his fingers with Magnus and rested his head on his shoulder. As he sighed contently, Alec thought, "This is a scene I will surely paint one day".
