Friday came even faster than Alec would have expected. Alec had told Magnus on Wednesday about the dinner with his mother and siblings. He had expected Magnus to decline, say something about having to work on his clothing line or the magazine, just so Alec could have an excuse not to go to the dinner. It wasn't that Alec didn't want to go…ok, maybe he did, but not because he disliked the idea of seeing his mother and all of his siblings gathered for dinner. The real reason was because he was scared of how it all would go. If Magnus was going to be there Alec didn't want to know what his mother's reaction would be. She had said it was alright with it and had apologized for what happened years ago, and technically she had already met the designer, but it still put Alec on the edge.
Unfortunately, Magnus had been delighted with the idea of having dinner with Alec's family. He said something about liking the idea of being properly introduced to his family. Alec had replied that technically his whole family already knew him.
"Not formally and not to your Mother" Magnus had said "Come on Alec, stop being such a party popper"
Alec had just rolled his eyes and gone to call his mother, telling her they were coming on Friday.
And now Friday was here. They were supposed to be at Alec's mother house at 6pm and it was not 5pm…Alec was already ready to go and was just waiting for Magnus to finish getting ready.
"Darling, what do you think about this one?" Magnus asked walking out of his closet with yet another outfit.
"Magnus that's the fifth outfit you've put on in the past half-an-hour" Alec groaned leaning against Magnus's bed.
"Because the last four were not good enough" Magnus complained "Come on Alec, just tell me what you think…I really want to make an outstanding impression"
"You always make an outstanding impression no matter what you're wearing" Alec sighed getting up on his elbows to look at his boyfriend
"Why thank you sweetheart, you flatter me" Magnus smirked "But I really want to make a good impression on your mother…don't you think bright colors would be too much?"
Alec stayed silent and watched carefully Magnus's outfit. He was wearing khaki fitted pants, a white button-down shirt. Alec wrinkled his nose and shook his head. He stood up and walked over to Magnus, wrapping his arms around the designer's waist.
"Didn't know you owned something like this" Alec said with a smile "So plain, so normal…"
"I found it by a chance" Magnus shrugged "Didn't know I owned it until this morning"
"Well it isn't you" Alec said "I don't want you to make an impression on my mother with someone you're not"
"I won't be changing" Magnus insisted "Just…tone down my clothes a little bit"
"Change them" Alec said pulling his boyfriend closer "Wear those tight leather pants you love so much and the most flashy and glittery neon shirt you own"
"But what about your mother" Magnus murmured wrapping his arms around Alec's neck
"She'll have to accept you with your glitter and everything…because that's the man I fell in love with"
"I love you" Magnus grinned and pulled Alec in for a kiss.
When they pulled back Magnus walked inside his closet one more time and changed his outfit. When he walked out, he was wearing black leather super-skinny pants, a lime green tank-top, and a purple button-up shirt over it that was left with all the buttons open. Magnus matched his outfit with bright green knee-high boots. He twirled around, showing Magnus his outfit to Alec. The photographer gave an approving nod and smiled widely. Magnus grinned and made his way towards the bathroom. He applied his make-up and styled his hair in spikes. He added glitter on his hair and a little bit on his eye-shadow.
It was 5:45pm by the time Magnus finished, which was his personal record since he always took more than an hour getting ready.
"So? What do you think?" Magnus asked standing in front of his boyfriend and putting a ridiculous pose.
"You look amazing" Alec grinned wrapping his arms around the designer's neck and kissing him on the lips softly.
"We're already late, darling" Magnus whispered as he placed another kiss on the photographer's awaiting lips "We should get going"
They broke apart and walked down the building where Magnus's apartment was found. They took a cab and headed towards Alec's old house. It wasn't that far away and when they reached it, it was only 6:05pm. Five minutes late barely counted so Alec wasn't too faced about it. However, when they reached the front door the nerves kicked in. Alec's hands got sweaty and he started shaking. Magnus took one of his hands and twirled their fingers together. He gave him a reassurance squeeze and smiled softly at him.
"It'll be alright darling" Magnus said "You have nothing to worry about"
"I know" Alec said "I just….I don't want to repeat what happened before"
"It won't" Magnus said pulling the photographer against his chest "She apologized and said she wanted to start again…Everything's going to be alright"
"I hope so"
Alec sighed and stepped away from Magnus. They smiled at each other and then turned back to the front door. Their hands were still clasped tightly together. Alec rang the door-bell and waiting for someone to open the door.
A few seconds later the door flew open and showed Izzy standing there. She was wearing a white skirt that reached a bit higher of her knee. She was also wearing a light sky-blue blouse. She was also wearing high heels the same color of her blouse.
"Magnus! Alec!" Izzy exclaimed happily "Glad you made it!"
"Hello Isabelle" Magnus greeted her "Good to see you"
"Come on in! You're the last ones to come"
They stepped inside the house and Izzy lead them to the living room where everyone was hanging around, except for Maryse Lightwood who was in the kitchen finishing dinner. Everyone greeted each other and they sat together just chatting and catching up.
"The movie premier is the Tuesday after this one" Jace was saying "You already have your plane tickets, don't you?"
"We do" Simon nodded "Izzy and me, that is"
"Magnus and I do as well" Alec nodded
"We'll be arriving on Saturday and spend a few days sight-seeing" Magnus said with a huge grin.
Just then Maryse Lightwood walked into the living room, cleaning her hands on the apron she was wearing. She smiled warmly at Alec and Magnus and both of them stood up to greet her. They shared small 'hellos' and Alec and her mother hugged briefly. Maryse informed them all that dinner would be served in ten minutes and then she disappeared back into the kitchen.
"Oh! Simon and I have news" Izzy said as Alec and Magnus sat back down. "Is about the baby"
Simon had taken her hands in his and was looking down at the floor. He looked up briefly to smile at her and then turned his eyes back down, not daring to look at anyone in the eye. Alec and Jace had already had their "big brother talk" with him and it was far from pleasant. They both were pretty pissed because he had gotten their little sister pregnant, but at least they didn't beat him up.
"Is everything alright with it?" Alec asked carefully, his brows furrowing with concern.
"Everything is great" Izzy said "I had a doctor appointment yesterday and it looks like it all is alright"
"That's good to hear" Clary said with a bright smile
"So what are these news about?" Jace asked from besides Clary.
"We've decided what to do with it" Isabelle said carefully, seizing everyone's reaction to her words, so far nothing too bad "And we're keeping it"
For a moment everything was silent and then Clary squealed happily and went to hug Izzy and Simon. The rest of them stood up and went to congratulate the couple as well.
"I'm happy for you Izzy" Alec said as he hugged his little sister
"Thanks" Izzy smiled softly
"I can't believe I'm going to be an uncle" Jace said "I'll be the coolest uncle ever, of course"
"No-uh" Magnus said "That would be me! I'll make her all the clothes she wants!"
"So?" Jace asked crossing his arms "I'll introduce her to all the cool people in Hollywood"
"And she'll love me forever because she'll look fabulous while meeting them all"
"Ok stop right there" Simon interjected "We don't even know if it is a girl…it could be a boy and I'm not letting any of you near my child"
"You know what's funny?" Clary said to Isabelle "Magnus, Jace, and Alec have to fight for the role of favorite uncle while I already have mine as favorite aunt assured"
Magnus, Jace, and Simon continued to argue with each other while Alec, Clary, and Isabelle just looked at them and shook their heads. Alec chuckled as Jace and Magnus continued to insult each other briefly.
"They're like kids sometimes" Alec said
"I know, right?" Izzy exclaimed with a small giggle
"Anyways, what would you like to have, Isabelle?" Clary spoke "A boy or a girl?"
"Well…I guess a girl would be nice" Izzy said "I could dress her up and everything, it would be perfect! But I think Simon wants a boy"
Alec was about to say something, but they all were cut-off by the door-bell ringing. Everyone stopped talking, including Jace and Magnus, and looked around in confusion.
"I didn't know we were expecting someone else" Alec said with a frown
"That's because we weren't" Jace answered frowning as well.
Jace was about to walk towards the door when Maryse walked outside of the kitchen and told them all she would answer the door.
A few minutes later they all heard the door open and Maryse gasping with surprise.
"What are you doing here?!" Maryse snapped making everyone even more alert of what was going on.
The person on the other side of the door answered, but none could understand what was being said or recognize the voice. They heard Maryse protest and then heavy footsteps walking down the halls with Maryse's heels following close behind.
Everyone was standing near the entrance of the living room and waiting for whoever was coming. They were not expecting the person who came inside, however.
"What's going on here?" Robert Lightwood demanded as he stood in front of everyone at the living room's entrance.
