And the next chapter! Also, I'm still loving the show and hope you all are as well:)B

ALEC

I wake up as I feel the bed move and see Magnus slip his pants from last night on as he heads out of the room. I smile and roll onto my back, looking up at the ceiling. Last night wasn't what I thought it would be. I knew our tension was high, how could it not be. Being with him wasn't at all like Jordan. It was better. I hadn't been taken like that in years and never against someone's dresser. That was hot. I could feel the ache in my lower back as I lay here and it makes my smile widen. Showing him how much I love him afterwards was what had my smile grow. I had found home. I have know of Jace and Clary talking about "finding home" I just never knew what that meant till last night. The way we moved, the way he just seemed to know what I needed with a touch of my hand on his. How he knew just how to take me. I move to find my jeans and my phone falls out, flashing up at me. Damn, it's almost dead. I use Magnus' charger and then open the text from sister.

"Simon went to get brunch. You guys should bring Annie over.-Izzy"

I smile and my sister and send a reply that I'll ask Magnus. I grab my jeans and pull them up, going to find my other half. I find Annie first, who wraps her arms around my legs. I pick her up first and she waves, smiling at me. I smile back and kiss her nose as we go to find her dad. He's in the kitchen with a cup of what I assume is coffee talking with Catarina. He looks over and smiles at me. Catarina smiles and waves before telling Magnus she has a brunch date with Ragnor. That reminds me of the text and I look at Magnus, gaining his attention.

"Izzy has asked for our presence for brunch. Simon went to get it."

He nods and tells Annie to go take a quick bath. I text my sister back, using Magnus' phone, and the smile as Magnus wraps me in his arms. He just stare at each other and then leans his forehead to mine. Words, or signs for that matter, aren't needed and we stay like that for a bit before he pulls back.

"Annie." I nod and head to the living room to find my shirt.

I blush a bit as I find it hanging on the TV and slip it over my head. I found Magnus', handing off the lamp shade and grab it before Annie can notice. I walk back to find Annie in the room and the bathroom door shut. I look across the hall and notice Magnus not in his room so he must be in the bathroom. Annie smiles and comes over with a brush. I nod and sit on her bed. She gets on my lap and I brush her hair. I couldn't fix it, but was learning. She turned and I smile as I watch her grab one of the headbands and slip it on. She sits with me and looks at my face.

"Thank you for helping me daddy not be lonely while I was in the hospital."

I smile and hold up my hands. "I love you and your daddy very much, Annie."

Her little eyes light up and she hugs me after telling me she loves me too. I'm guessing the door to the bathroom opens because she gets down and pulls on my hand, leading me out of her room. I knew her fascination with watching her dad so I sat with them in his room while he did his routine. After he was finished, we headed back towards my apartment. We decided to walk since it was nice out today, just light jacket weather really. We were walking and someone walked out of a coffee shop, running into me. I know who it is and try to hide. I feel eyes on me though and look into his. I see Magnus, holding Annie, and silently asking if I'm ok I nod and keep my eyes on the man in front of me.

"Hey Alec."

I don't do anything, just raise a brow. He turns to look at Magnus and Annie and then back to me. "Playing house, huh. No wonder you haven't gotten fu…"

He didn't finish as I put my hand over his mouth, knowing he was trying to bait the man with me. I hold up my other hand and look at him.

"A little girls is right here. Don't talk like that. And for information, I did twice just last night."

With that, I go to move and he turns me around. Magnus loses it and hands me Annie as he gets in the guy's face. I don't know what Magnus said to him as his back to was us. I did see Jordan's face get angry and he walks up to me. "He will leave you. You will come back."

My jaw sets and I see Magus turn him, this time in my vision so I know what he says.

"Listen, butthole. Last night he made noises you only wish he'd make for you. He practically screamed for me as I pounded him against my dresser. You have no idea what the heck you're talking about. Get away from him and me and my daughter. Alexander is my boyfriend and one day I hope to marry him. He's not yours and he's not ever going to be."

I know my eyes got wide and Magnus push Jordan in the opposite way of me. He looks at his daughter first and asks if she's ok. I don't see what she says but she hugs him. When we get to my apartment, Magnus leads me to my room and shuts the door. He sits me on the bed and looks at me. I wait for him and he kneels down, cupping my face so I can read his lips.

"I love you. Last night was the best night of my life and you're it for me, Alexander Lightwood. What I told Jordan was true, all of it. Even the part about marrying you. I came here for a new start, new beginning for me and my daughter. That's you. I know it's fast and we just started being intimate last night, but I know. I knew it last night as you made love to me in my bed. You're my home, Alexander."

I smile and could feel my tears fall, his thumbs rubbing the trails on my cheeks. I hold up my hands and smile at him.

"I didn't know what I needed when I left Jordan. I didn't know what my first day of work would hold for me. I wanted fresh, new. Same as you, I guess. Most of all I wanted to be loved in spite of my disability. I love you and you're my home too, Magnus. It's always going to be you."

He takes my face and brings it to his and I know. We both now know. The new start we yearned for months ago, the beginning we needed, it was this. Together like this, faults and all and for the rest of our lives we were going to have it...Together.

Hey everyone! I hope you liked this journey with me. I really had fun writing this and I'm kind of sad to see it go. When I started this chapter, I didn't think this was the end, but as always I stop where my creative juices tell me. I already have another one started and am currently writing it. Some chapters will be shorter, I'm still trying to figure out how I want to load it. It will be a while as I think that over. Anyways, remember to leave any comments about what you think below and I cannot wait to see you in the next round!:)B

GUESTS Thanks as always, I'm glad you guys liked it!:)B
