Loss
A/N I'm sorry for not updating but I was backpacking and when I got back I revived terrible news. One of my close friends had passed away. She was 26 and died from HIV.

This is set 5 years before Alec and Magnus meet. He's 13.
Magnus POV
I was sitting by mothers bed looking at her sleep. She looked frail and deathly pail. But it was true, this was probably going to be my mothers death bed. Ever since my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago her health had been declining. It was only a matter of time. But this week the doctor said it was to be her last week. "Maggie bean, you should be sleeping." The voice was my mothers voice. She was awake. "Mother, your awake. Do you need the doctor?" She weakly put her hand on my shoulder and said "no I want to do this myself." What was she talking about! Her eyes were slipping close and I called for the doctor "Doctor Branwell!" But before he came my mother whispered her last words. "Live your dream Maggie bean."
