Hi friends! Few more chapters to go. Thank you so much for reading this fic.

Sorry for mistakes

Enjoy :-)))

Magnus woke up to a pounding headache and dull ache in his body. He laid in his bed for few minutes to let the feeling pass but it only got worse. His stomach churned up and he could feel the bile that rose in his throat. Magnus tried his best to ignore the dizziness when he planted his foot on the floor and staggered towards his bathroom.

Magnus threw up for ten minutes until he was dry heaving. He felt like his throat was on fire and didn't want to let go of the sink that he had clutched tightly fearing a definite fall. A sharp pain shot through his lower back and he gasped. He panted closing his eyes and took few deep breaths. He still felt weak and nauseous. Magnus then slowly placed his hand on the door handle and took a step forward. A groan escaped from his mouth and vision blurred as the room started spinning infront of him

Magnus was successfully able to take four steps when his legs gave out and he fell on the floor with a loud thud. The last thing he saw before loosing consciousness was his son running towards him and yell "PAPA!"

Rafael was completing his homework early morning so he could give a surprise to his father. He was half way through when he heard a loud noise from Magnus's room. The boy dropped the pencil and ran to check on the noise. When he pushed the door open, his eyes widened when he saw his father on the floor with closed eyes "PAPA!"

Rafael bend down and tried to wake Magnus by shaking his shoulders "Papa! Open your eyes. Papa what happened to you" tears started falling from his eyes and Rafael didn't know what to do. Suddenly an idea struck him and he ran towards the hall. Rafael then quickly dialled Max's number and heard Alec's voice "Mr Lightwood! Papa is not moving...please help him"

Rafael was glad Mr Lightwood was coming to help his father. He quickly unlocked the main door and ran to be with Magnus who was still passed out on the floor "Papa please wake up"

It took fifteen minutes for Alec to reach at Magnus's place. He brought Max along with him since he didn't have time to wait for Jace or Izzy to come and babysit for him. He pushed the already opened door "Rafael?"

Rafael jumped on hearing Alec's voice "Mr Lightwood! Papa is here. Come fast!"

Alec quickened his steps followed by Max and stepped in "Magnus?" his eyes went wide, worry lines decorating his forehead on seeing Magnus unconscious on the floor "Magnus!"

Alec knelt down and gently pushed Rafael aside so he could check on Magnus. He let out a small gasp the second he placed his hand on Magnus's shoulder as the skin was too hot to touch "Magnus? Hey can you hear me? Magnus"

"Is he dead?" Rafael asked with tears rolling down his face standing next to Max who was equally worried and scared

"NO!" Alec knew he shouldn't yell at Rafael but the thought of Magnus dying felt like a stab to his chest. He held Rafael by his arms and wiped his tears "Rafael your papa is fine okay. He's just having a fever. I'm here now and will take care of him. Do you understand? Everything is going to be fine"

Rafael nodded and Alec looked at his son "Max can you take Rafael in the hall. You both can watch some TV. I'll be back in few minutes" Max gave a small nod and guided his friend out of the room murmuring soft words like 'It's going to be fine'

Alec now focused on Magnus. He easily swept him up in the air with one arm below his knees and other behind his back. Alec laid Magnus on the bed and searched for a wash cloth. He found it on the side table and ran towards the bathroom. Alec soaked the cloth wringing out extra water and came back to place it on Magnus's burning forehead.

Magnus moaned at the contact and fluttered his eyelids. He made a face of discomfort and slowly opened his eyes and saw blurry figure. He blinked couple of times to clear his vision "Alexander? Is.. that you?" he tried to get up but Alec pushed him back "Take it easy Magnus. You've a high fever"

"How did you know?"

"Rafael called. He's very worried about you"

Suddenly Magnus's face scrunched in pain and he rolled to his side gasping for air. Alec looked at him with confusion "Magnus are you okay?"

Magnus shook his head vigorously trying to catch his breath "I..can't...something's wrong" his hand wrapped around his waist as tears leaked from his eyes "Aaaaah!"

Alec felt himself panicking. He couldn't understand what was happening to Magnus. The teacher placed a comforting hand on his arm "Magnus? What is it? Where does it hurt?"

"My..my back" Magnus wheezed out "and stomach.." as if on cue his stomach twisted in pain and be let out a strangled cry. Alec didn't waste any time further and pulled his cell out and started pacing "Jace! This is an emergency. I need you to at Magnus's place. Something is wrong with him. I'm taking him to a hospital but I need you to watch over the boys. Please can you come"

"I'm on my way" said Jace. Alec hung up and bend down to talk to Magnus "Magnus I'm going to take you to hospital. Stay with me okay" more tears fell from Magnus's eyes and Alec quickly picked him up again in bridal style who groaned in response, fisting Alec's shirt in his hands. Alec then ran out of room and started barking orders to the boys "Max! Rafael! I'm taking him to the hospital. Uncle Jace is on his way. He's going to be with you boys. Lock the door when I go and don't open unless it's uncle Jace. Got it?"

Max nodded but Rafael looked at his father with wide eyes "What's wrong with Papa?" Alec looked at Max who nodded and held Rafael's hand in his "Rafael please stop crying. Dad is going to take care of Mr Bane"

Alec then rushed out and Max locked the door. He turned around and gave a hug to Rafael "I'm here Rafael. I'll be with you. Your Papa is going to be fine" Rafael hugged Max and cried harder

AT HOSPITAL

Magnus was whisked away as soon as they stepped in the hospital. Alec was told to wait outside and God only knew how the wait was killing him. He paced for three hours straight praying that Magnus would be fine. Finally the door where Magnus was being treated opened and Alec ran towards the doctor "How is Magnus? Is he alright?"

The doctor eyed Alec for few seconds "Are you sure you're alright young man? You seem to pass out any second. Sit down for a while"

"I'm fine" Alec clenched his jaw "Tell me about Magnus. What was wrong with him?"

"Magnus is fine now. He was having kidney stones.

We've removed them and he's resting" the doctor informed

"Kidney stones?"

"Yes but don't worry. Everything is fine now"

Alec sighed in relief "Thank you so much"

"You too take some rest. I mean it or else I'm sending you home" the doctor warned and Alec nodded "I promise to take rest. But can I please see Magnus"

"Yeah. We've shifted him in room 207. Don't keep him up for long"

"Thank you"

Alec slowly pushed the door and stepped in the room. His eyes fell on Magnus who laid on the bed wide awake and was so glad was not in pain anymore. He never wanted to experience again what happened this morning. Alec cleared his throat to draw attention "Hi"

Magnus perked up at Alec's voice "Hi Alexander" he gave a small smile "Please come in"

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine now...though it was really embarrassing but I'm glad you were there"

"Did you know you had kidney stones"

"No...I mean I was feeling a bit off last couple of days.. slight fever and lower back aches but never thought it would be this serious" Magnus spoke softly

"You should've been more careful...I was..I mean Rafael was really worried" Alec looked away and Magnus bit his lip. Why couldn't Alec admit he was worried for him. Why was he being so stubborn "Where is Rafael?"

"Your home with Max. I called Jace. He's with them"

"Thank you Alexander"

"You should rest. I'll come back again"

Magnus didn't want Alec to go. He wanted him to stay next to him. Why wasn't his tongue working for him. Why were things being so difficult between them. He blinked twice and saw Alec walk out if the room. The ache in his heart was ten times stronger than the pain he suffered this morning

Alec slammed his hand on the wall as soon as he was out of the room. He wanted to stay but how could he when Magnus didn't even stop him from leaving. Everything was so messed up between them.

For next two days Alec visited Magnus three times a day but their was an awkward silence between them. No one was ready to talk first. In the end Magnus would fall asleep and Alec would watch him for hours.

TWO DAYS LATER

Max and Rafael were very happy that Alec and Magnus were talking and spending time together. They knew for last two days Alec took care of Magnus by visiting him three times a day and taking care of them "I think they are back together" Rafael whispered to Max during the class

Max nodded smiling "Me too. When do you think they are going to get married?"

Rafael shrugged "I don't know...maybe on Sunday? It's a holiday so Papa and Mr Lightwood will be free"

"Hmm...I'm going to buy new clothes"

"Maybe we can wear matching tux" Rafael beamed happily "Like brother"

"Yes just like brothers! Rafael you're very smart"

"I know" Rafael held his head high

NEXT DAY

"Did Mr Lightwood bring Papa home?" Rafael asked Jace who was driving car. Alec told him that his father will be home by the time they got back from school and now Rafael was very excited and eager to meet Magnus "Yeah buddy. I just talked to Alec. They have already reached home" said Jace

Rafael leaned forward "He's not going back again right?" Max pushed hom back in his seat "Mr Bane is fine Rafael. Dad said the good doctor had taken away all the pain and given him lots of medicines"

"Eeeww..I hate taking medicines. They taste yucky"

Max nodded "I know! I don't like it either. Once Dad gave me pink cold syrup and I threw up"

Jace laughed and Max pulled his tongue out at him "Alright we're home boys. Listen I gotta go from here. Will you two go by yourselves?"

"We're big boys uncle Jace. We can come alone from school" said Max confidently earning a giggle from Jace. Rafael was being impatient. He wanted to meet his father so he jumped out of the car "Max c'mon!"

"Bye boys!"

The two boys ran through the stairs with their bags and water bottles. As soon as the reached home Rafael pushed the already opened door "They're here!" he beamed happily and Max smiled back

"Papa?" Rafael threw his bag and bottle on the floor ran towards Magnus's bedroom followed by Max. What the two boys didn't expect was to hear their fathers yelling and bickering at each other

"This is ridiculous! I can't believe I even thought this was going to work between us!" Alec raised his voice

Magnus gritted his teeth "You're the one who's being ridiculous Alec. I can't even look at you right now. Get out of my house!"
