Chapter 3: The Dream Comes True
"Magnus!" Alec called from the bedroom. "Come quick! You gotta see this!"
The warlock was lazily watching TV when he heard his boyfriend call and raced to the bedroom.
The electric blue vanity table was in the corner of the room, the king sized bed with a dozen pillows and a silver bedspread was in the middle of the room and sitting at the end of it was a boy with black hair that covered his face as he stared at the floor intently. Magnus went to sit on the bed next to the boy and also looked at the floor. On the floor was a pile of blankets that looked like a nest for two eggs, which held Magnus and Alec's daughters Lexi and Lana, and snuggled close to the eggs was the small grey tabby kitten known as Chairman Meow. "This is what you wanted me to see?" Magnus asked.
Alec looked at Magnus, his blue eyes beautiful as always, and smiled faintly. "Yes Magnus" He said as he kissed Magnus lightly on the cheek. "This means the Chairman is ok with our decision"
Magnus sighed. He leaned forward to kiss Alec on the mouth and wrapped his arms around the Shadowhunter, pulling him closer. Alec layed on the bed with Magnus on top of him and kissed him firmly on the mouth. Then suddenly Alec's shirt had vanished.
"Magnus" Alec moaned playfully. "That's cheating"
"It's not cheating" Magnus said as he trailed kisses down Alec's stomach. "It's just faster than the normal way" Then returned to the Shadowhunter's lips and moaned softly. While he quickly snapped his fingers and Alec's pants were now gone leaving Alec exposed beneath him.
"Sorry Magnus" Alec said playfully. "But if you want to continue, you're going to have to take your clothes off" As he trailed a finger down Magnus' covered chest.
Magnus gave his boyfriend a seductive grin then with another quick snap of his fingers, his clothes disappeared. He heard Alec moan beneath him as those exquisite blue eyes slowly studied every inch of the sexy warlock.
Alec reached up and locked his hands around the warlock's neck and pulled him close so every inch of them touched, their lips as they kissed with a fiery passion and a desperate longing, his hands on Magnus' bare chest. Alec ran his fingers through his lovers' hair, as the warlock stared into his Shadowhunters deep blue eyes. Magnus was in such a hypnotic trance that he didn't realise that Alec had taken over until they rolled over and Alec was smirking down at his warlock lover. "Are you tired yet, my darling?" Alec purred as he trailed kisses up Magnus' stomach to his ear. "Because now, it's my turn"
Then suddenly, the boys heard the Chairman meow loudly and they both sat up and saw the eggs moving. "Alec, I think they're about to hatch" Magnus said, as they quickly got dressed.
"Magnus" Alec called. "I can't find my pants" The warlock snapped his fingers and Alec's pants dropped next to the Shadowhunter. "Thank you" Alec said as he finished getting dressed and went to sit at the end of the bed with his lover.
They watched the eggs intently as they began to shake and crack. "Magnus" Alec said. "Aren't we going to need some stuff for Lexi and Lana?"
"Don't worry, my darling" Magnus replied. "I got that stuff already" and kissed Alec on the cheek then turned back to the eggs.
The boys decided to move closer to the eggs, just as both eggs cracked more and the shells started to chip. Then the doorbell rang. They looked at each other but it was Alec who spoke. "We invited them for dinner" Alec remembered the lunch with Clary and Jace.
"They can't be here" Magnus said. "Our daughters are being born; we weren't going to tell them yet"
"I will just tell them something" Alec sighed. "It's ok" The Shadowhunter left the room.
When Alec came back, he was a little sad because Izzy was going to come and Magnus knew how much he missed her. "It will be ok" The warlock said. "I'm sure they will understand"
Just then, a foot came out of Lexi's egg. An arm broke through Lana's shell, wiggling five small fingers, then Lana's leg and foot broke the shell and also Lexi's arm and hand. Then both shells broke apart, revealing two baby girls with wisps of dark hair, matching their fathers, Magnus and Alec. The baby on the left, closest to Alec, had the exact same eye colour as Magnus and mixed with those magnificent green eyes were golden specks, this baby was Alexandra Madeleine Lightwood-Bane. The baby next to her, closest to Magnus, had Alec's gorgeous blue eyes but the same golden specks her sister had, this was Lana Cori Lightwood-Bane. The two lovers also noticed that neither of the girls had bellybuttons. "Well, they are part warlock" Magnus explained. "So, they must take after their dear Papa and have no bellybutton"
Alec could only stare at his warlock lover. "'Papa'?" The young Shadowhunter inquired. "Who is 'Papa'?"
The warlock was shocked. "I am 'Papa', my darling" Magnus said. "You will be Daddy because they don't have a mother. And I will not be called mummy"
Just then, Lexi and Lana started crying. "We should wrap them up" Alec said, picking up Lexi and gesturing Magnus to pick up Lana. "We will sort out everything else after. Now who am I holding?"
Magnus picked up Lana. "You're holding Alexandra, my darling" The warlock smiled. "I have Lana"
The new fathers took their daughters to the room closest to theirs, which in the future will be Lexi's room, where Magnus had set up the nursery and for the style of the over eight hundred year old and very sexy warlock, it was perfect.
The walls were sky blue painted with clouds, the carpet was peach, the window on the left side of the room had a canary yellow curtain pulled back, letting the sunlight stream through, next to the window on the right side was a violet changing table, complete with diapers, extra pacifiers and some toys, on the left side of the window was a white, polished wardrobe full of baby clothes, hats and shoes, on the other side of the room were two cribs, one was silver with a light blue blanket and above the crib, written in purple was the name Lana. The other crib was also silver with a scarlet red blanket and the name Alexandra written in turquoise was above the crib.
"Magnus" Alec caught his breath as he looked around the nursery. "This is amazing! It's perfect for our beautiful daughters" He and Magnus put the twins in their cribs and they instantly fell asleep.
The lovers hovered over the cribs, watching how peaceful Lexi and Lana looked as they slept. "I think it's safe to go take a nap" Magnus whispered. "I'm so tired. Are you coming?"
"Most definitely" Alec yawned as he and Magnus left the nursery and headed to their room.
Alec fell asleep as soon as he snuggled up to Magnus, with their fingers laced and his head on the warlock's bare chest, listening to his heartbeat.
The warlock woke up to find himself alone in the bed and frowned. Magnus got up and padded to the nursery, where he guessed his missing lover would be.
When Magnus got to the nursery, he didn't find Alec there. So, the warlock decided to check the lounge room but Alec wasn't there either.
"Alec? Are you here?" Magnus called, making sure not to yell too loud.
"What's wrong, Magnus?" Alec asked from the hallway.
Magnus turned around to find Alec drying his wet hair with a towel. "I woke up and you weren't there" Magnus explained, as he walked up to his lover and kissed him on the mouth.
"What was that for?" Alec asked when he got his breath back.
"For making me worry" Magnus sighed. "And if you do it again, so help me Alexander" And Magnus kissed his lover fiercely, pulling him close.
Then the babies started to cry. The lovers stopped kissing but were still close together. "I think they're hungry" Magnus said and they pulled away and went to check on the twins.
When they got to the nursery, Magnus grabbed Lexi and Alec got Lana, then fed them, burped them, bathed them, clothed them and put them back to bed.
Magnus and Alec were standing over the cribs, waiting for their daughters to fall asleep. "I don't want to keep this a secret anymore" Alec confessed. "I want to tell Izzy, Mum and Jace about this" The young Shadowhunter left the nursery and headed to the bedroom. Magnus followed.
"Why don't we invite them over for dinner, for real this time, and tell them" Magnus suggested. "Besides, our daughters need that ritual done, to stop the influence of demons"
"The ritual performed by a Silent Brother and an Iron Sister?" Alec asked.
The warlock nodded then went to sit at the end of the bed, patting the space beside him, gesturing Alec to sit. Alec sat. "We should invite them over tonight" Alec suggested.
"Yes we should" Magnus agreed.
Later that night, Maryse, Isabelle, Jace and Clary all came to the loft for dinner. "Mum!" Alec called when Maryse Lightwood entered the door, her black hair tied in a ponytail, her blue eyes set on her sons' face, wearing her grey business suit, went to give her son a hug. "I didn't think you would come"
"Alexander, of course I came" Maryse said, releasing her son from the hug.
Alec smiled. "You remember Magnus, right Mum?" He asked when Magnus entered the room.
"Yes of course" Maryse said. "It's good to see you again, Magnus"
"Alec!" Isabelle called as she entered the room and ran over to her brother and pulled him into a loving embrace. "I've missed you so much"
"I've missed you too, Izzy" Alec said as he was released from his sister's clinging grip. "Why don't you all sit down, Magnus and I have some news"
Everyone sat in the cluster of couches and chairs. Maryse and Isabelle sat on the soft two-seater burgundy couch with silver cushions, Jace and Clary sat on the dark purple two-seater with gold cushions, while Magnus and Alec stayed standing.
"Go ahead, Alec and Magnus" Jace said. "Don't keep us in suspense"
The young Shadowhunter took a deep breath and turned to Magnus, who gave him a reassuring smile. He sighed. "Now, this maybe a shock to you but we're hoping that you will be ok with our decision" Alec said and launched into the story of Lexi and Lana. "And so, yeah. We have daughters, Alexandra and Lana, who are both part Nephilim and part warlock"
Everyone in the room was silent with complete shock on their faces. Luckily, it was Isabelle who spoke first. "Can we see them?" The look in her dark eyes was hopeful.
"Of course!" Alec said happily and a little relieved. "Follow us" and grabbed Magnus' hand and led the way to the nursery.
While Isabelle and the others were meeting the twins, Alec sat in an armchair, worrying because his mother hadn't said anything about Lexi and Lana since he told everyone. Alec watched his mother as she stood by the door and just studied everything in the room. "Oh, they're so adorable" He heard Isabelle say. Which he was glad to hear, Isabelle had always been so understanding of his decisions and he knew in some way, she would approve. Jace approved because he knew that Alec was happy and that's all he wanted but kept glancing at Maryse.
"They're like you and Alec but are girls" Jace said to Magnus.
The warlock smiled. "Yes Jace. They were made out of our blood, so I guess them looking like us was bound to happen" Magnus looked at Alec and smiled but Alec couldn't return the smile which made Magnus come over to him.
"I know I should be happy but I can't be, knowing that she doesn't approve" Alec said to Magnus while looking at Maryse.
Magnus sat on the arm of the chair and put his arm around Alec. "She's probably just shocked. Soon enough she'll get over it and be happy for you"
Alec smiled weakly. "Thanks Magnus but I doubt she will approve" Alec could tell that Magnus didn't like to see him upset and concerned that his mother would reject his children, but as he watched the others fuss over Lexi and Lana, it gave him hope that his mother would soon get over the shock.
"They are just so cute!" Clary said as she turned around to face him and Magnus. "You must be so proud. I would very much like to draw them" then turned back to Lexi and Lana.
"May I hold one?" Izzy asked as she walked over to the chair where Alec and Magnus were sitting.
The parents of Lexi and Lana exchanged a look and both nodded as Alec got up from the chair, walked over to the crib of Lana, picked her up and gave her to Izzy who could not stop smiling as she held the baby girl in her arms. Then did the same with Lexi and let Clary hold her, he wasn't entirely sure he could trust Jace with a baby.
Alec watched as Izzy held Lana, walked up to their mother and said, "Look at her, isn't she beautiful?" Alec's smiled had completely vanished. "Do you want to hold her?" Everyone fell silent as they waited for Maryse's reaction.
Maryse looked at Lana and her expression softened. She nodded as Izzy handed her the baby and as she took it in her arms, a smile that lit up her whole face slowly emerged on her lips.
Everyone sighed in relief, especially Alec as he sat in the armchair next to Magnus.
