Chapter 5.
DISCLIAMER: I don't own anything, all rights to Cassandra Clare.
*THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.*
*NOTE* this chapter takes place two years after the rest.
"Daddy, look at what I made you." Alec's three year old daughter Rose says, toddling up to him on her little legs, clutching a piece of colourful, glittery paper in her hand.
When Alec was twenty-two, two years after he and Magnus married, they decided to start a family. They at first were hoping to have a child through surrogacy, Clary had offered but shortly after, she found out she was pregnant with her first daughter Adelaide, Addie for short.
Tessa offered to carry for them but Magnus knew she had a very tough time carrying children, she was always sick when pregnant with her daughter Esther, the amount of complications she had is uncountable.
They looked into surrogacy agencies and met with any surrogates Catrina knew, but none of them were willing to carry for a gay couple.
So Alec and Magnus settled on adoption, it took them a long time but eventually they met a seventeen year old girl, Theresa, when she was six months pregnant. She never wanted children and knew she wouldn't be able to raise her child right, so she decided on adoption. Out of all the couples she met with, she liked Magnus and Alec best and chose them as the couple for her child.
Three months later little Rose Maryse Lightwood-Bane was born-2 weeks late- weighing a healthy six pounds four ounces. It was the happiest day of Alec's life.
Before Rose was born they agreed on an open adoption with Theresa, she would be known as an aunt to Rose, and godmother. She sees her as often as she pleases, which is normally two or three times a week. Rose adores her and Magnus and Alec are more than happy for Rose to have a strong bond with Theresa, they hope it may ease the blow when she finds out she's adopted.
"What did you make my precious princess?" Alec asks, lifting Rose into his arms. He holds back an exasperated sigh when he sees the glitter in her curly dark hair. Just like her papa, she loves her glitter and is normally covered in it from head to toe, and it's not easy to get off, especially since Rose absolutely despises having a bath, she screams the house down every time they put her in the bath, though she normally clams down once she notices her toys are in there with her, and that Alec and Magnus aren't going anywhere.
"I drawded you a pwetty picture daddy." She says, holding out the colourful paper to him. Alec smiles at the squiggles on the page that to his daughter, are works of art.
"Oh baby girl it's beautiful!" He says, beaming at her. She beams right back and says
"It you, me, papa and aunty T." Rose says, using her nickname for Theresa.
"It's so good Rosie! You're so smart, let's go put it on the fridge." Alec says. A wide smile spreads across Rose's face, showing her teeth. She has quite a few, but not all of them.
When they get into the kitchen and hang the picture on the fridge, there is a knock on the door.
"I'll get it my darlings." Magnus calls, walking down stairs.
Moments later Alec hears the familiar voice of Theresa. Magnus lets her in and leads her into the kitchen. She smiles broadly at Rose, only poking her head in.
"Aunty T!" Rose squeals, running as fast as her little legs will carry her, to Theresa. She smiles broadly, lifting Rose up and twirling her around once.
"Hi my beautiful Rosie, how are you?" She enthusiastically asks.
"I good, wanna see the picture I drawded?" Rose asks.
"I would love to!" Theresa exclaims, letting Rose down.
"Look, it you, me, daddy and papa!"Rose exclaims, once she gets into the kitchen.
"Wow, it's really good! You're such a smart girl!" Theresa says. Rose giggles and hugs her.
"Well, I know your daddy and papa are probably gonna kill me, and I know you're not four until tomorrow, but I just had to take you one of your presents today."Theresa says. Alec groans inwardly, he knows Theresa means well, but he also knows Rose will be so excited she won't go to sleep tonight.
"Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!" Rose exclaims, jumping up and down, clapping her hands together, her shoulder length curls bouncing up and down.
Theresa smiles as she takes a wrapped gift out from her bag. "What is it?" Rose curiously asks.
"Open it and see."Theresa says. Rose eagerly rips the paper open, to reveal a small brown teddy bear, with a white stomach. Rose had seen that teddy in a shop a few weeks ago, and she immediately fell in love with it. Alec and Magnus wanted to get it for her, but it was ridiculously expensive for a simple teddy bear, and they couldn't afford it, not if they wanted to put bread on the table.
"Wow! Thank you Aunty T! You the best! I love you!" She exclaims, flinging her arms around her neck and burying her face in the crook of it. Alec has never seen her so happy.
Theresa smiles and hugs Rose back and says "Thank you baby girl, I love you too."Theresa says.
Later on that night, Alec finds Rose fast asleep in her rocking chair, on Theresa's lap, cuddling with her teddy bear. Theresa is also asleep and looks very content.
Alec covers them with a blanket and kisses Rose's forehead.
"Sleep tight my baby girl, I love you so much, the last four years of my life would be nothing without you. Daddy loves you."
Hope you enjoy, please review, love you all.
