Hey! :D Thank you all for helping me reach the 226 reviews :O I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to answer to them because they were too much :P I just got out of exams and now I've been really busy with school and getting home really late :P But I do read them!

I wrote this real quick while waiting for my brother to get out of his tutoring classes, so hopefully you like it :)

I own nothing!

The new issue of the Prestigious Magazine had been out for a few days already. It had been a hit just as the last one had been. However, all of their copies had been sold the first day it was out. It was unbelievable for anyone who worked at the magazine. It was the first fashion magazine that had been sold out on the day it was out. The fame of the magazine had increased half of its normal number with all the news about Magnus and Alec. Magnus's clothes were selling like mad, Alec's photos were getting more views, and everything was just getting better and better for their professions.

With the new magazine also came a preview to Magnus's new clothing line. Everyone already knew that he was working on something. However he hadn't told anyone what it all was about. He now had released the main idea for his clothing line and people were getting anxious to see how everything would turn out.

The magazine showed a small interview, it only took a page on the whole magazine, but it was enough for people to start making guesses about how it all was going to be. On the interview he had stated that a person had inspired him to design the whole clothing line and that all the pieces represented many different feelings, such as love, heart-break, and lust. He had also revealed that the main colors of said clothing line were going to be blue and black. Those were enough clues to get the whole population that loved Magnus start guessing who could possibly be Magnus's inspiration.

The whole clothing line was turning better than what Magnus expected. There was still a lot to do and he had only got some of the designs completed. There already were 2 outfits that were complete while other 3 still had a few touches that should be made. The whole clothing line consisted of 23 different outfits and he was going to show it on The Fashion Week of that year. Magnus was slowly running out of time, but he wasn't worried. That's how he worked. He worked much better under pressure. But now he was spending his time to get those outfits ready.

That was where Alec found him on a Monday morning when he reached the magazine's building. Magnus was on the sewing room, where he had spent the whole weekend sewing pieces of fabric together and finishing outfits.

When Alec walked inside the room he found Magnus's back directed at him, and he was leaning down on a sewing machine as he moved and sewed together some blue fabric. Magnus seemed oblivious of Alec's presence and that made the photographer grin. He slammed the door closed making Magnus jump on his seat.

Magnus cursed as he sewed the fabric on the wrong way and turned around with a deathly glare to see who had scared him like that. His glare disappeared as soon as he saw Alec's innocent blue eyes looking at him. Alec had his hands on his pockets and looking at him with wide eyes. When Magnus raised an eyebrow at him Alec just shrugged giving him that sweet smile that made Magnus's knees give out. Good thing he was sitting down.

"What was that for?" Magnus demanded, trying to sound angry but failing miserably.

"I have no idea what you're talking about" Alec said with another shrug.

"Just so you know" Magnus said turning back to the sewing machine "I have to re-do this"

"What is it anyways?" Alec asked stepping closer to his boyfriend.

"A blazer" Magnus said "But I'm just starting…I still have a lot to do and it'll look so much better than this"

"Well I wouldn't know" Alec said "You always I have a terrible eye for fashion"

"That you do darling" Magnus chuckled "Anyways, what brings you here?"

"You've been working non-stop all week" Alec stated with a small pout "I came to see my boyfriend since I haven't seen him since Friday! And that just for an hour"

"I'm sorry darling" Magnus said looking up with an apologetic look "But you know I have to get all this together"

"I know" Alec sighed "Anyways, I have to go in half-an-hour…you keep working and I'll just hang around"

"Where do you have to be in half-an-hour?" Magnus asked finally getting off the sewing points he got wrong and continued with his work.

"I'm going out for lunch" Alec shrugged, taking a seat next to Magnus and watching silently as he worked.

"Going out for lunch with who? Should I be worried?" Magnus asked looking up for a minute to raise his eyebrow and then went back to his work.

"Probably…but not for the reasons you think" Alec answered "I'm having lunch with my mother"

Magnus stopped sewing, turning off the machine, and turning to look at his boyfriend…and all in two seconds. He looked at his boyfriend with worried eyes, searching on his face, trying to find any emotion that would help him decipher what the photographer felt.

"I didn't know you were in contact with her" Magnus said finally, not looking away from Alec.

"I wasn't" Alec answered "She called me yesterday…said she wanted to talk to me and we agreed to meet today"

"And…you're alright with that?" Magnus asked concerned. He knew how Alec felt towards his parents and he worried about him.

"I'm not exactly happy" Alec shrugged "but I'm giving her a chance…see where it takes us"

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, it's alright" Alec said "You keep working and we'll call tonight"

Magnus nodded silently, still a bit concerned, but let it go all the same. They talked for a couple of minutes until Alec decided it was better for him to start making his way towards the restaurant where he was going to meet with his mother.

Alec took a shaky breath as he stepped through the door and inside the restaurant. It took him a moment to find his mother, but he did. She was sitting on one of the tables at the far corners of the restaurant, as far away of the windows as possible. Alec made his way towards the table and took his seat quietly.

"Hello Alexander" Maryse Lightwood said "I'm glad you made it"

"I said I would" Alec shrugged looking down at the table.

There was a tight silence between the two when the waitress came to take their order and each asked for what they wanted.

It wasn't until their food was brought to them that Maryse tried to start a conversation once again with her son.

"Alexander-"

"It's Alec" the photographer cut in "Everyone calls me that"

"Very well" Maryse said with pursed lips "Alec, I would like to apologize"

"Whatever you are apologizing for?" Alec asked raising an eyebrow

"For what we – Robert and I – did to you" Maryse said, wincing at the name of the man she was married to.

"You mean kicking me out?" Alec asked with a serious face "I'm over it"

"That doesn't mean I shouldn't apologize" Maryse insisted

"It's too late for that mother" Alec said "What is done is done. You kicked me out. I accepted it…It hurt yeah, but I wasn't going to dwell on it for too long. I forgave you long ago…that does not mean it all is going to go back to how it was"

"I wasn't expecting it to be" Maryse said "I just wanted you to know that I really am sorry for what I did to you…I cannot talk for your father, but I am. And I want you to know you are welcome to our house any time you want"

"Thank you" Alec said softly.

The rest of their lunch was like that. They talked quietly, rather slow, trying to catch up but not really letting much out. Alec wasn't about to run into his mother's arms once she apologized and she knew that, but accepting it and trying to work on it was the first step of getting it all right on track.

Once they were done with their lunch, Maryse paid for it all and they got ready to part.

"Before you leave I wanted to ask you something" Maryse said stopping Alec from getting up and walking away "Are you happy?"

"What?" Alec asked confused

"Are you happy?" Maryse repeated "I've seen the news. I know about Magnus…are you happy? Does he make you happy?"

"Yes" Alec said instantly "He is everything…I've never been this happy in years"

"I'm glad" Maryse nodded "I'm glad you've found someone and I really hope you two are happy with each other"

"Really?" Alec asked in disbelief "T-Thanks"

"I'm planning on having a family dinner on Friday. Jace and Isabelle already agreed and they are bringing Simon and Clary" Maryse explained standing up "You should bring Magnus"

And with that she was gone.

What do you think? Not the longest nor the best chapter, but it is an update :) I'll have a lot of time to write since I have to wait for my brother for his tutoring classes, so hopefully I'll be able to update soon!

Also, I've been thinking about starting a new fanfic...but I'm still not sure :P meh, we'll see! :P
