Summary: A baby is born.
Lydia walked out of the Clinic sure that she would be having morning sickness in a few months, already mentally re-adjusting her schedual to make sure she wasn't in too much danger.
Entering her room she saw a crisp envelope on her pillow and inside found her new schedual, it seemed that Alec was on the same page as her.
Alec couldn't breath, couldn't manage to expand his lungs as the tiny baby was set in his arms and he wondered how he and Lydia could have made something so precious.
Lydia was watching him tiredly, propped up on the pillows. For now it was just them but the others would want entrance soon.
Isabelle with her look of both joy and disappointment, she and Jace were still waiting for Alec to come to his senses and chase after Magnus and Alec wanted to but Jace was happy with Simon and Izzy with Clary and Alec couldn't risk his work with getting it approved by the Clave by doing what his heart begged him to.
"You two should sneak out." Lydia said softly, "I'm going to tell them that I want to sleep with my new family and to come back in a day or two."
"Why would i leave?" Alec asked.
"You know why, Alec."
"I..."
"Just go, do something for you, Alec, for once just be selfish." Lydia said.
Alec took a breath, "We'll be back in the morning."
Alec cradled the baby in one arm as he collected the diaper bag and snuck out of the Institute.
