Summary: In which Magnus makes an appearence.
Alec hesitated outside of Magnus' loft before knocking.
"WHO DARES TO DESTURB-" Magnus stopped speaking as he stared at the man at his door.
"I know I'm the last person you want to see, I just... I needed...I wanted, This was a mistake." Alec said and took a step back.
"Alexander, come in and who is this?" Magnus asked as he cooed at the baby.
"My daughter." Alec said softly.
Magnus froze as he wiggled his fingers at the baby.
"I wanted to ask you something." Alec said.
"You know my prices, ALexander." Magnus said.
Alec shoo his head, "Nothing like that, I can't leave Lydia, I... my parents promised they wouldn't force Jace of Izzy to get married if I did, my marriage to Lydia allows them to love who they want and I can't take that from them. In a few months they'll be able to marry Simon and Clary if that's what they want, the Clave will aknowledge it same as a male/f emale Shadowhunter union, I can't risk that by leaving Lydia, no matter how much it kills me not to."
"Alexander." Magnus whispered heartbreakingly.
"Just, I want you to be Maggie's Godfather." Alec said quietly, "Please, I can't offer you anything but this."
Magnus took Alec's face in his hands and used his thumbs to wipe the man's tears from his cheeks.
"Alexander, I'm so sorry."
Alec fell into Magnus' embrace, careful not to crush the baby between them, and let the man hold him gently, like he was a precious thing to be careful with, as he sobbed, "Why didn't you come? By the Angelm why didn't you save me from them?"
"Because I was a fool." Magnus whispered into Alec's hair, "Come, you should sleep, you look like you could fall asleep any momnet, Maggie will be fine, I've taken care of babies before." Magnus sienced ALec's protests, "And I should get to know my Goddaughter. How old is she?"
"She was born about three hours ago, you're the second person after me to hold her." Alec said as the Warlock took the tiny being from Alec and tucked the Shadowhunter into Magnus' bed.
Magnus' eyes softened, "Alexander." He breathed.
"I love you, Magnus, I know it doesn't mean a whole lot considering my position, but I do, I really do." Alec murmured as he drifted to sleep.
