A/N: So instead of making a super long chapter that wouldn't have gotten post for weeks, I'm going to make this one a two parter :)

Comments always welcome :)

A/N: Sorry for the longish wait. My muse has been on the fritz lately :/ but I hope you like the chapter. Next one should be up and about. Also tinkering with another Mpreg story line for these two and I promise I haven't forgotten about my other fics.

We Should Talk pt 2

"For someone who just invited their ex-boyfriend, who is the father of their baby, who still has feelings for him to dinner, you look pretty sad," Raphael pointed out as he handed Magnus a cup of tea.

"I think we're going to have the talk," Magnus replied.

"The talk?" Raphael asked.

"The, 'We know we both totally wanna get back together but will it really be the smart thing to do' talk," Magnus answered.

"Do you want to get back together with him?" Raphael asked.

"It's...a nice idea," Magnus admitted smiling a bit.

"But?" Raphael asked. He drank some of his coffee and crossed his legs. "You're worried about what might happen if he knew what happened in high school?"

Magnus nodded and stared at his tea. "What if he hates me?"

Raphael sighed and stood up. He sat next to Magnus and held his arm open and Magnus, smart enough not to ignore the gesture, moved closer and laid his head on Raphael's shoulder.

"Alec, is not going to hate you, I don't know how, but that man will never hate you," Raphael said after a while. "And it's really easy to hate you."

Magnus rolled his eyes.

"What happened wasn't your fault and you need to understand that," Raphael continued. "He's not going to hate you when you tell him and if you keep carrying it around that won't be healthy."

Magnus looked up. "When did you become the smart one?"

"When you decided to have a baby with your ex boyfriend," Raphael answered.

"Funny," Magnus deadpanned.

Raphael shook his head. "I never became the smart one Magnus. I'm just telling you what you already know. And, if he does hate you, then I'll kick his ass."

Magnus smiled a bit. "You'd do that for me?"

"Partly for you, partly because Alec always complains that he'd be able to best me in a fight," Raphael shrugged and smiled. "You know I'm always here for you right?"

"I know, but it's nice to hear you say it," Magnus smiled.

Raphael rolled his eyes and picked up his coffee. "Alright, enough touchy feely. I gotta get to work."

"And I should go grocery shopping for dinner," Magnus said as he got up. "You and Ragnor are gonna behave right?"

"If we must," Raphael replied. He finished off his coffee and set the cup in the sink. "See you later."


"Something smells really good," Alec complimented as he walked into the apartment.

"I made nasi goreng and satay," Magnus smiled. "Just the way you like it too."

"You didn't have to do that," Alec said as he walked inside. "Oh, these are for you...we drove by that bakery you always liked on patrol today and thought you might like them."

"I was craving these all day," Magnus admitted. "I was about to see if Ragnor would get me some on his way back."

"Still could," Alec joked as he walked into the apartment.

Magnus shut the door and set the pink box on the coffee table. "How was your shift?"

"Chased a couple bad guys," Alec answered. "Did boring paperwork. How about you?"

"I went grocery shopping and bought way more food then I needed because I started getting cravings," Magnus answered. "I ate melted marshmallows and pickles for lunch."

"That sounds disgusting," Alec said.

"It was oddly good," Magnus replied. "And the baby loved it to so…" he shrugged and smiled. "Thirsty?"

"Beer if you have it," Alec answered. "Can I help with anything?"

"Do you mind setting the table?" Magnus asked. He checked the few pots on the stove. "I've been banned from getting anything higher than I can reach."

"I agree with that ban," Alec replied as he walked over to the cabinets.

"Not you too," Magnus said. "I'm hardly that far along, I can use a stool."

"And what if you lose your footing?" Alec asked. "You've got some precious cargo, I don't want either of you getting hurt because you can't just ask for help."

"I can ask for help," Magnus replied. "I asked you to help set the table."

Alec chuckled. "I asked if you needed help, and you said I could set the table." He took the plates down and walked over to the table.

"Same thing," Magnus said. He got a beer out of the fridge for Alec and poured it into a glass for him.

"Slight difference, but whatever helps you sleep at night," Alec smiled.

Magnus leaned against the counter and held out the glass. "I haven't had a decent night's sleep in a couple weeks now."

"Have you brought it up with the doctor?" Alec asked frowning.

"Yeah, and Cat recommended this tea that's supposed to help," Magnus answered. "All it does is make me drowsy."

"I could always make you some of my famous hot chocolate," Alec offered. "Read some shakespeare? That always puts you to sleep...Unless it's my voice puts you to sleep."

"Your voice does many things. putting me to sleep is not one of them," Magnus replied.

Alec chuckled and walked over to pick up the beer. "Yeah?"

Magnus nodded and smiled as Alec leaned over the counter and kissed him. His hand came up to cup the side of his face and he sighed softly.

"We still have to talk," Alec murmured.

Magnus nodded. "Yeah...We should do that…" he reluctantly pulled away and checked the food before leaning against the counter.

"I want to get back together," Alec said. "Not, not just because we're having a baby together. Being with you again, I never wanted to break up with you Magnus. I know, it was mutual and we had our rough patches, but, I've always loved you and I still do...and, I totally understand if you don't want to get back together...I just figured I should tell you."

Magnus bit the inside of his cheek and nodded a little.

"I...I wanted to get back together to, I just wasn't sure if you want to," Magnus replied. "I mean, we still have a few things to work out, but I'm willing to give it another go."

"I've been going to therapy," Alec admitted. "Mainly for my short fuse...It helps."

"I thought you hated therapy," Magnus replied.

"I like my job more," Alec chuckled. "A short fuse gets you in deep front with internal affairs."

"I'm glad that's helping you," Magnus smiled. "We could always try therapy...Might help right?"

Alec nodded. "Yeah...Yeah, that's a good idea." He smiled relieved. "Was there something else you wanted to talk about? You've got that look."

"Raphael and Ragnor made other dinner plans," Magnus answered. "So it's just the two of us."

"More food for us then," Alec smiled and leaned over to give him another kiss.

Magnus nodded and pushed the nagging thought to the back of his head. He ignored Raphael's slow headshake when the other male returned home later that evening and instead chose to curl up next to Alec more.

"What was with Raphael?" Alec asked. "He just kept staring."

"Nothing," Magnus lied. "Could I have some more hot chocolate?"

"Course," Alec took his cup and stood up going to the kitchen.

"Don't look at me like that," Magnus said as Raphael gave him the look.

"What happened to telling him?" He asked.

"I will...Just...Not now," Magnus answered.

Alec came back and Magnus accepted the mug of hot chocolate with a small smile and resumed his position of laying pressed against him with Alec's arm wrapped around him and his fingers gently stroking the small swell of his abdomen.

Magnus relaxed at the feeling and closed his eyes as he drank some more oft he hot chocolate. He'll tell Alec when the time is right.
