December 8th

Okay, this takes place after the series...and its based on this thing I went to today and a picture I saw online…

Alec had always known, deep down, that he wanted this. He never realized it until about a year ago, when everything ended. Clary and Jace had gotten married, and everybody went back to normal, everything seemed fine. But something felt off to Alec. Then he started noticing things, just little things. Out on the streets, he would find himself staring, and wondering. And it scared him, it really did. It scared him so much he stayed up nights thinking about it. No matter how much he tried to tell himself it was all in his head, he knew that it wasn't. Even then though, he wouldn't accept it. Until this day.

The day started out normal, with Alec lying on the couch, immersed in some book, and Magnus in the kitchen slamming around coffee cups because he had woken up to early. Suddenly, the slamming stopped and Alec looked up to find Magnus watching him. "Ummm...yes?" He asked, confused.

"Alec, love, I just had a brilliant idea!"

Alec raised his eyebrows. This couldn't end well. "Yes?"

"Cookie!" Magnus exclaimed, clapping his hands.

"What? Magnus, I think those have already been invented."

Magnus rolled his eyes.. "No, we should make some!"

"Magnus, I am not baking. If you want cookies, just go out and buy some."

'But baking is fun! And its all part of the christmas spirit."

Alec rolled his eyes. For some reason, Magnus was obsessed with christmas. Maybe it was the fact that he got to use extra glitter, but he did. "We don't have any ingredients. And have you ever baked cookies before in your life?"

"No….but thats what the internets for. And the ingredients?" Magnus grinned sinisterly, rubbing his thumb and finger together, indicating snapping.

Alec groaned. Whenever Magnus got an idea in his head, he always ended up getting what he wanted. And baking was not going to end up well. "And besides," The warlock continued, "We could bring some over for Clary and Jace and mini-Jace. Clary would be glad for the food."

Alec's heart dropped a mile. "N..no. I mean….well...I'm sure Jace and Clary have enough on their plate with the...with...well we could go visit Izzy."

Magnus frowned. "But we visited Izzy last week, and the week before. We haven't seen Clary and Jace in forever!"

Alec bit his lip. He knew he couldn't avoid it forever. "Fine…"

"Yes!" Magnus jumped up and down and snapped his fingers. Immediately the counter was filled with tubs and tubs of flour, sugar, baking soda, etc., and in his hand he held to aprons.

"I am not wearing that." He said, pointing at the rainbow monstrosity in Magnus's hand.

Magnus sighed. "Of course not darling, this ones for you." He held out a blue and black apron.

Alec looked at it like it was a bomb about to go off, before he decided he could tolerate it, for Magnus. "What about a recipe?" he asked, as he began browsing through the things on the counter.

"Here," Magnus shoved a cookbook in his face.

It was open to the page for sugar cookies. 'You own a cookbook?" Alec asked, skeptically.

"Alec, I'm 800 years old. Of course I own a cook book."

"And yet you've never actually cooked anything." Alec muttered under his breath.

"What was that dear?" Magnus asked.

'Nothing."

"Right,,,,so we need….eggs, milk, sugar, flour,...baking powder…"

"A bowl?" Alec suggested.

'Oh right…" Magnus snapped his fingers and a blue glass bowl appeared on the counter.

Alec sighed. Always blue. "Right….can you hand me the butter." He asked.

Magnus obliged, and after a few minutes, they had settled into a methodical pattern. Alec would ask for an ingredient, and Magnus would hand it to him. The warlock regarded his boyfriend curiously from the counter. He hadn't ever known the shadowhunter could cook, but now, watching him, Alec mixed the dough and added ingredients with an air that suggested he had done this before. "Have you made sugar cookies before?" He asked.

Alec shrugged, not looking up. "Only once, but I guess I remember more than I thought. Izzy made them once but butchered them as usual, she was so upset when Jace told her they sucked that I made some and replaced hers with mine."

Magnus smiled at that. That was one of the things he loved about Alec, how sweet he was with his family. He always put them before himself and sometimes forgot that sometimes he needed to do something for himself every once in a while. Finally Alec finished mixing the dough, and he scooped it out to start rolling it. (A/N: yeah I know that sugar cookie dough needs to be refrigerated put for the purposes of this fanfic were just gonna ignore that little detail…xD) "Do you have cookie cutters?" Alec asked.

"Who needs cookie cutters when you have.-"

"I know, magic." Alec interrupted.

"Actually...I was going to say a knife….."

"What!?"

Magnus helded up a steak knife by its glittery handle as proof. "Magnus! You can't cut sugar cookies with a steak knife!"

He frowned. "Why not?"

"Because...because.." Alec spluttered. "Well...you just...can't!"

"Yes you can! See!" Magnus then proceeded to hack away at the dough.

When he finished his hacking, he stepped back to let Alec admire his work. The shape was squarish mostly...with two odd lumps sticking out of the side. "Is..that supposed to be a...a...cat?" Alec asked, tilting his head from side to side.

Magnus beamed. "Yes! See! You can use a steak knife!"

Alec rolled his eyes and brushed some flour of his boyfriends shirt. "You're an idiot.' he said, affectionately.

Magnus grinned and kissed his cheek, placing one arm around his waist. "Love you too baby."

Alec laughed and wrapped his arms around Magnus's neck, kissing his lips. "We should finish cutting the rest of the dough." He said.

Magnus didn't answer but just kissed him again. "We...should...really...finish." Alec whispered between kisses.

"Its all part of the experience, darling." Magnus muttered, pulling him close.

Needless to say, it took quite a while to get the cookies in the oven.

"Now what do we do?" Magnus asked, as he watched Alec set the timer.

"Now we wait."

Magnus stood up and wrapped his arms around Alec's waist. "Now what should we do while we wait." He murmured, trailing kisses down his neck.

"Hey," Alec said, trying to wiggle away from him.

Magnus laughed as he tugged him towards the couch. "Hey! Magnus!" Alec said, trying not to laugh.

"But I'm hungry!" he whined, smirking at him.

"Well the cookies will be done in 10 minutes!"

"I know something we could do to pass the time." He said, spinning Alec around and pushing him onto the couch.

'Magnus! Stop!" Alec tried to push Magnus off of him, but it was very hard to sound authoritative while suppressing laughter.

Magnus grinned as his hand slipped under Alec's shirt and began tickling his sides.

"Ahh! St...stop!" Alec laughed.

Magnus laughed evilly and kissed his jaw. "But its so fun tickling you!"

Alec blushed and looked away. "No. No its not."

"Mhhmm.. but you're just so adorable when you laugh." He hummed, kissing his way up the side of his face.

Suddenly the oven timer sounded and Alec jumped, making Magnus laugh. "I think that was just the timer dear."

"Hey, it surprised me." He said, wiggling out from underneath the warlock.

Magnus chuckled as he followed Alec back into the kitchen. The next hour consisted of kissing, frosting, much off which ended up on Alec's face from Magnus trying to paint his face with blue frosting, and Alec trying to avoid being tickled. So by the time they had gotten the cookies in a box and were putting on their coats, the kitchen looked like world war three had occurred right there. Flour covered the flour and counters and sugar was scattered everywhere, along with a variety of sprinkles. "Right," Magnus said, wrapping a scarf around his neck, "Of to see miss Clarissa, Blondie, and mini blondie!"

Alec's smile froze on his face. Jace...and Clary...and….he had forgotten about it for a moment. A lump began to form in his throat as he followed Magnus down towards the car. He knew he would have had to face it sometime, but he wasn't ready. Well, maybe he was, he didn't know. All he knew was that looking at Magnus now, his heart seized up and he felt like throwing up. He couldn't tell him, he just couldn't, but he also couldn't keep on pretending he didn't feel this way, that he didn't want it. Alec stayed quiet all the way to Jace and Clary's house. When they reached the top of the steps, Magnus rung the doorbell and Clary answered, holding her son. "Magnus! Alec! I didn't know you were coming!" She exclaimed.

"We didn't call. but we brought cookies!" Magnus said, waving the box of sugar cookies around.

"Alec, Magnus, what are you doing here?" Jace asked as he walked up behind Clary, taking the baby from her.

Alec winced. "We brought cookies." he said softly, watching Jace.

"Come in! Come in!" Clary said excitedly.

They both stepped inside and began taking their coats off. "I'll go make some coffee." Clary declared.

"I'll help!" Magnus followed her off into the kitchen, leaving Alec and Jace alone.

Alec stood awkwardly, watching Jace bounce his son up and down. "You remember Uncle Alec, right Luke?" He said.

Alec smiled weakly. "Here, you can hold him." Jace said, plopping him into Alec's arms despite Alec's stuttered protests.

The baby started to cry, and Alec started panicking. " it's okay." He whispered, trying to soothe the child.

"Hey, come on, don't cry." Alec muttered, bouncing him on his hip.

Luke stopped crying and smiled. "Hey, how'd you do that?" Jace asked.

"What?"

"Usually it takes way longer to get him to stop crying."

"Umm…just got lucky?" Alec suggested.

Jace patted him on the back, amused. "Who knew? Alec Lightwood is good with children."

Alec smiled, biting his lip nervously. Just then Magnus and Clary re appeared around the corner, holding a pot of coffee and a tray of cookies, talking about her clothes.

"I love them!" Magnus said, "Red and black look so good on you!"

Clary laughed and they all sat down in the living room, Magnus and Clary on the couch, Jace in an armchair, and Alec on the floor, with baby Luke in his arms. The rest of the evening was spent like that, the four of them exchanging pleasantries and conversing. Alec mainly played with the baby. By the time Magnus and Alec left, waving good bye to Jace and Clary and putting on their coats, Alec had a knot in his stomach the size of mount olympus. Deep down he had always known he felt this way, but he never thought he wanted it this badly. It scared him so much, he didn't want to lose Magnus, but he didn't know how long he could go on pretending. He, Alexander Lightwood, wanted a baby.
