Hey all! Just a heads up that my semester starts this upcoming week so I may not get to update till next weekend.

With that being said, I wanted to know everyone's thoughts on the show that starts this week? Myself, I am excited to see how they do it. I don't have issues with what has been changed or how they put more "hollywood" into it. By this I mean the technology at the institute or the girls being more "sexual" than in the book. This is hollywood and to me it's no different than when Bella and Edward first kiss in the Twilight movie, so not like the books. Also, I think the pilot may not be what everyone wanted; however, they have to put enough backstory to keep everyone, especially those that don't know the stories, interested. To me, the story will hopefully be Clary's journey, not her and Jace and sex related stuff. The scene with Izzy and Merlion is an issue for some, but not me. It's hinted in the book what that relationship entails and to me, this is showing that. I also love the actors, especially Harry and Matthew, I think everyone is going to be great! There's my thoughts and I would love to hear your thoughts on the show and how they are doing it!:)B

OK, I'm finished, lol...here's the chapter:)B

ALEC

Laying on the couch with my legs in Magnus' lap was quite relaxing after the week we both had. Annie had gotten sick and collapsed. It was horrible and I spent every moment I could with Magnus. It was Friday, Catarina and I finally getting him to leave the hospital so he could sleep. Ragnor had explained that she was fine, the tests weren't as bad as they could be. I wasn't sure what that meant, and I'm not sure Magnus did either. That little girl was his everything and I don't know what will happen if she gets worse. It's been about two months since I met him, the weather turning colder now that October was ending. That little girl, though, she grew on me faster than he did. That says a lot. I do know she had color, a lot more of it, when we left. I had taken him to my house because I knew he wouldn't be able to sleep at his.

Izzy went and stayed with Simon, who finally showed her what he asked me to help him with. She was extremely touched that he took the time to learn how to communicate with me. Magnus and I hadn't made it passed making out on a couch and I wasn't sure if he'd even kiss me tonight. Not that I would mind, he has a lot going on. We haven't been alone since Tuesday as it was Wednesday when Annie was admitted to the pediatric ward. I felt his fingers on my feet and turned from the TV to look at him. He was staring at the TV and slowly massaging the feet in his lap, my feet.

He turned to look at me and I can see the worry in his face.I move and pull him to where he's behind me so we both can see, and read in my case, the movie we were attempting to watch. I bring his hand around me and hug it to my chest after kissing the knuckle, hoping he knows I'm here for him. I feel his lips on the back of my head and let out a breath as he pulls me tighter to him. My body shivers as I feel his breath on my neck and he moves his hand.

"Cold" he signs where I can read it.

I turn my body and look at his face as I bring my hand up. "No. You ok?"

He smiles, not his usual one, and shrugs.

I cup his face, hoping my eyes show him that it's going to be alright. That I was here for him. I could see in his eyes that he wants to break and I rub my thumb under his eye as he lets a tear fall from it. His body starts to shake and I wrap my arm around him, pulling myself closer to him so I can hold him and not fall off. We just lay there, Magnus now holding onto me like I'm his lifeline. I run my fingers down his back, trying to calm him the only way I know how. I feel his lips on my skin and pull back to look at him. I try to convey that we shouldn't do anything, not with our emotions so out of whack.

He smiles and we don't move. "No sex, this is enough. Trust me. You're helping by letting me hold you, darling."

I smile at him and he leans a bit, letting me meet him halfway. We lightly kiss and then he nuzzles his head into my neck again. I can feel him breath me in and I smile, doing the same. I loved the smell, his natural smell. I had never smelled a natural scent that was so pleasing, so animalistic, so...feminine and masculine at the same time. It was heaven to me. I could feel him try to move and so moved to look at him again.

"Can we sleep in your room? I just want you in my arms tonight. I'm scared to sleep alone."

I nod and we move so we can get up.

He turns off the television while I put our dinner dishes in the washer, starting it up. I come back in to see him sitting his shoes by the door. I hold out my hand and he comes and takes it. I pull him to me again, kissing him lightly before leading him down the hall. I don't let go of his hand till I have to, and it's to give him a pair of football sweats I took from Jace senior year. He nods and goes to change in the bathroom. I quickly put on a pair of my own pajamas and then crawl into bed, waiting for him. He comes in and sits his things on my dresser before crawling in next to me.

I pull him to me and he lays his head on my chest, his arms around my waist. My fingers find their way to his hair, gently massaging his scalp to relax him. I feel his fingers draw designs on my stomach as we lay there. I know the tension with us has grown and our clothing, well shirts, have been off while together for some time. I also know this isn't the time, or way, either of us want to the next step to happen. It should be a happy time, not because we're scared or worried. Magnus moves and I look at him as his beautiful face comes into view, raising a brow in question.

"Thank you, for everything this week. If it wasn't for you, I don't know how I would have coped. It means a lot, Alexander."

I go to tell him it's not a bother and he covers my hand. I look into his eyes and I know he's not finished. He comes a bit closer so I can read his lips and a small smile appears.

"I love you, Alexander."

I smile and I know it's huge because his is as well. I move my hands and hold up "I love you". I then use the first letter of his name and hold it over my heart, which I hadn't done before. I see his eyes widen a bit and I know he knows why. Most deaf people just spell out names, I gave him a special sign, one just for him. He bends down and kisses me lightly, me returning it of course. He turns and lays back on my chest again and I bring my fingers back to run through his hair. I let out a breath when I feel his body release the tension, knowing he's sleeping, going to sleep myself.

The next morning, I wake up and see Magnus still sleeping. We stayed in the same position as we had all night. My phone was blinking, so I reached over without waking him and opened it.

"She is fine. Ragnor just got the second tests back after the meds he gave her. Cell count is spot on again, tell him. I tried to call, but I didn't want to scare him."

I smile and shake the man under me, knowing he wouldn't mind getting woken up for this news. It was great news. I watch as his body wakes up and he turns to look at me. I give him my phone and he reads it. I see his eyes light up, more than last night when we said "I love you", anyway. He looks at me and I smile, loving how his smile lights up his face again. He leans down and kisses me, putting all his emotions from the last four days into it. I'm so happy for Annie, and I show him in the kiss. He pulls back and looks at me.

"She's ok, you love me, it's a great day!"

I just nod and pull him to me again. Before we can get into it, I push a bit so he knows I want to say something. He pulls back and looks at me, silently questioning.

"We should go to the hospital. I can wait, Annie should be first." I sign.

He smiles and kisses me lightly before pulling back so I can read his lips.

"This is why I love you, Alec."

I smile and watch as he gets up, grabbing his clothes and walking out of the room. I get up and quickly add a tee, keeping the pajama pants on. I run my fingers through my hair and then get some socks. I slip on my shoes when Magnus gets back to my room. We don't say anything and we go to the main part of the house so he can get his shoes. I text Izzy so she knows that Annie pulled through with a clean bill. I grab my messenger bag and slip my phone in the pocket before putting it in its place. Magnus takes my hand and pulls me to him after I brush my teeth in the kitchen, kissing me.

"I love you."

I smile and hold up the same as we walk out of my apartment. We take a taxi to Magnus' little girl and don't really talk. He holds my hand the whole way and I just squeeze it, letting him know I love him. We get into Annie's room to see a smiling, happy girl eating some pancakes for breakfast. Catarina is sitting in the chair next to the bed and Annie lights up when she realizes we're here. Magnus heads over to her, sitting as close as he can on the bed. I just lean against the doorframe, watching the man I gave my heart to with the little person I shared his with, not that I cared about that. She deserves more of it than I do anyway and it's nice he's opened it enough to include me in it. Catarina waves and I nod in hello, she looks exhausted. I watch Magnus say something to her and she just nods.

Annie waves me over and I walk over, when I get there I hold my hands up. "I'm glad you're better, Annie."

She smiles. "Me too. Thank you for keeping my daddy happy, Alec."

I smile. "It's no problem, Annie. I was happy to help you, lovely."

She just beams and continues to eat. Ragnor comes in and talks to Magnus so I sit where he did and help Annie when she needs it. I feel a pat on my arm and look at the man next to me.

"She can go home tomorrow. They want to keep her overnight one more day to make sure it's clear. Ragnor says it's just routine and we shouldn't worry."

I nod and get up so he can sit with his daughter. I feel my phone vibrate and open it to see Izzy has texted back.

"OMG, I am so happy! Tell Magnus we're here though if he needs us.-Izzy"

"Annie gets to come home tomorrow. He may not want to go to his tonight again, that ok?"

"of course!" she quickly sends back.

I put the phone up and see Magnus looking at me.

I smile. "Izzy is happy Annie's fine and said they are here to help."

He nods and I watch from the chair as Magnus spends the morning being happy with Annie, which makes me happier than I remember ever being.
