Three:
"Alec, you've been the bathroom over an hour already, you need to come out," Isabelle said.
"Try telling that to your future niece or nephew," Alec replied. He gripped the toilet bowl as he emptied his stomach contents and leaned back against the wall after flushing.
"What happened to the tea Magnus's friend gave you?" She asked.
"It's gone," he answered. "I drank it all."
"And you didn't think to ask for more?" She replied.
"I've been a bit preoccupied with being pregnant, and trying to make sure mom doesn't secretly try to run a DNA test," he huffed.
"Alright alright, no need to go and bite my head off," she said. "You're even more bitchy now then you were before you got knocked up."
"If I wasn't puking I would kick you," he told her. He stood up once he was sure his stomach wouldn't revolt and brushed his teeth.
"I was thinking we should go shopping," Isabelle said. "We're going to have to move your room. It's too small to fit anything for a baby. I found the perfect one too. It's got a small adjoining room so we can make that the nursery and then the bathroom's just across the hall. I'm thinking a nice bright yellow. What about you?"
"I'm thinking I really want pancakes drenched in syrup and butter with bacon and hashbrowns," Alec answered. "Strawberry syrup."
"...You just spent two hours puking your guts out…" Isabelle pointed out.
"I know, and I'm starving. So, breakfast?" he asked getting his coat. "My treat?"
"Well, if you're buying," she answered. "Oh...you're gonna have to wear a glamour once you start showing aren't you?"
"Yeah...Have you um...spoken to Jace?" he asked.
"If I speak to him, I might just punch him in the face," Isabelle answered. "You think he'd at least you know, talk to you about it."
"He's with Clary...I doubt he's even told her," Alec shrugged a little.
Isabelle squeezed his hand. "Well screw Jace...oh wait, you already did that."
Alec rolled his eyes but did smile a bit. "I don't need Jace to get through this...I've got you right?"
"Of course you do Alec. I'd never leave my big bro hanging," she replied. "And I know for a fact, a certain warlock is happy to help you with anything."
"Isabelle for the last time, Magnus does not like me that way," Alec said. "And I really doubt he'd like me when I'm having another man's baby."
"I didn't know you were a mind reader," Isabelle replied as they walked outside. "Quick. What am I thinking?"
Alec rolled his eyes. "Okay...I see your point…"
He opened the door to Taki's and they found a booth off to the side in the back. He picked his menu up and scanned it already knowing what he was going to order.
"But, say he does like me that way, why would he like me?" Alec asked. "I'm a shadowhunter, our parent's tried to wipe his race out, I got knocked up by some guy I've loved since before we became parabatai..and I've never actually been in a real relationship. I'm probably the worst person to like."
Isabelle rolled her eyes. "Don't forget emotionally constipated….although, I don't think that'll apply given you're already having mood swings, shut up, you are, but you're also kind, and generous and loyal and handsome. And glowing. Pregnancy suits you."
"Right, new rule, we do not discuss that in public where Mundane might overhear," Alec said. He set his menu down as the waitress got to their table and ordered.
"And he'll have an orange juice, not coffee," Isabelle told the young woman. "You'll thank me later Alec."
He would not admit to pouting but knew Isabelle was probably right and leaned back in his seat. "You're aunt's already trying to get me to eat better. Next thing you know she'll be reading What to Expect When You're Expecting."
Isabelle stuck her tongue out at him. "If I read it it's only because you won't."
"I know what to expect when I'm expecting," Alec replied. He thanked the waitress when she brought their food and picked up his fork. "And it's going to drive all of you crazy."
"You know who it might not drive crazy," Isabelle replied with a knowing smile.
"Izzy no, he's done enough already," Alec said.
"Alec, he wants to help you," she replied. "It's not like Jace is going to be stepping up anytime soon."
Alec stabbed a pancake at the mention of the blond. "I don't think getting involved with someone right now is a good idea."
"I'm not saying you get involved with him," Isabelle replied. "But, is it really a bad idea to let him help? Mom's not really jumping through hoops at the moment, and…" she refrained from saying Jace's name this time and picked up a piece of bacon.
"He's already done so much," Alec repeated."I don't want him to think I'm just using him...I can do this on my own."
"No, you can't," Isabelle replied. "You think you can, but you won't be able to Alec. You're going to need help and there's only so much we can do."
"Since when have you been the voice of reason?" Alec asked.
"Since you got knocked up," she answered with an innocent smile.
He stuck his tongue out at her and picked up a pancake. "So what are you suggesting?"
"Well, you can start by calling Magnus and ask him if he's got anymore of the tea that will make you feel better," Isabelle answered. "Then ask if him if he wants to help you pick out things for the nursery."
"I thought we were going to pick out things," Alec frowned.
"We were, but Simon just texted me," Isabelle answered holding up her phone. "He wants to hang out."
"This was your plan all along wasn't it?" Alec asked.
"What plan?" she asked.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about," Alec answered. He ate a piece of bacon. "Tell Simon I said hi."
