34.
"Alec we're going to be late," Magnus said.
"We're not going to be late," Alec replied, pulling on his coat. "Relax babe."
"I'm just excited, and nervous, but mainly excited, we're going to find the gender," Magnus said.
"Or gender's," Alec added.
"If we were having twins, we would've found out much sooner," Magnus reminded him.
"Not all the time," Alec said, opening the door. "My mom's had plenty of patients who've had undiagnosed twins. It happens."
"How about, we focus on whether we're having a boy or a girl," Magnus replied.
Alec locked the front door behind them and went to open the car door for him. "Oh, we're definitely having a girl."
"Boy, or girl, or girl who wants to be a boy, or boy who wants to be a girl, we will love them either way," Magnus said. "Right?"
"Of course," Alec replied. "But it's going to be a girl."
"If you say werewolf instinct I will punch you," Magnus told him. "Hormones or not."
"I was not going to say werewolf instinct," Alec said.
"Really?" Magnus asked. "What were you going to say?"
"How about we go to lunch after the appointment?" Alec asked.
"Smooth," Magnus answered as Alec started driving. "Trying to distract me with food."
"I was not trying to distract you," Alec replied. "I was just mentioning how it'd be nice if we got some lunch after the appointment you know? Take a walk around town, pick up some things for the baby."
He looked over at Magnus who was suddenly quiet. "Mags? Babe? Everything okay babe?"
"We've never made it this far before," Magnus said. "It was always just...the baby this and the baby that, and now, we'll know if we're having a boy or a girl and we'll get to pick out a name, and buy dresses, or little sneakers and pants..."
Alec reached over and took his hand. "Or two sets of dresses, or two sets of sneakers, and matching onsies."
Magnus laughed and wiped his eyes with his free hand. "Do you just want twins or something?"
"A little bit yeah," Alec admitted. "But I want to have a baby with you way more."
"You know twins will mean extra trouble right?" Magnus asked.
"We can handle it," Alec answered.
"You two seem to be in good spirits," the doctor smiled as he walked into the room.
"It's been a good day so far," Magnus replied. "Excited to find out if we'll be having a boy or a girl."
"Well then, let's take a look shall we?" the doctor said, rolling up Magnus's shirt.
He poured some gel onto the swell of his stomach and moved the ultrasound wand around to get a clear picture. "Everything looks good."
"So, it's safe to say it's one baby right?" Magnus asked. "Not twins? Or triplets?"
"One healthy baby," the doctor answered. "A baby boy to be exact."
"Boy? You sure?" Alec asked.
The doctor nodded. "Positive. Congratulations."
He cleaned the gel off of Magnus's stomach and printed off a few pictures. "I would like to schedule c-section for your due date, assuming of course nothing goes wrong between now and then. Which, given how well you're doing now, I really don't think that will be an issue."
"That sounds good," Magnus nodded. "We will schedule it for the due date."
"Excellent," The doctor smiled. "Well, if you have other questions. I will walk you out."
"...So, no twins and we're having a boy," Magnus said, once they were outside. "You okay?"
"There's always next time," Alec replied. "At least now, we only have to focus on picking one name and not two right?"
"How about we come up with names over lunch? I'm in the mood for something spicy," Magnus said, taking his hand.
"Spicy food it is," Alec chuckled.
"What are you doing up?" Magnus asked, yawning.
"Couldn't sleep, unlike you, who should be," Alec answered.
Magnus carefully sat down on the couch and put his feet up on the coffee table. "Had a craving for some bacon, figured I'd get you to make me some but you weren't in bed."
Alec chuckled. "Always bacon." He closed his laptop and got up, going to the kitchen. "Is it just bacon? Or do you want something with it?"
"Just the bacon," Magnus answered. "Have you given any more thoughts to names?"
"What about Ben?" Alec asked.
"Not Robert? After your father?" Magnus asked. "Isn't it tradition to name the first born son after the grandfather or something."
"Benjamin Robert Lightwood-Bane then," Alec answered. "Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?"
"Has a long ring to it," Magnus answered. "But I like it."
Alec came back and sat down on the couch with a plate of bacon and put his arm around Magnus. "Your bacon."
"Ah, just the way I like it," Magnus smiled taking a piece.
Alec rubbed his leg a little. "You gonna be okay while I go to therapy tomorrow?"
"I thought it wasn't until Friday," Magnus frowned.
"I moved it up," Alec shrugged. "Leg's been bothering me more lately..."
"What'd your mother say?" Magnus asked.
"I haven't talked to her about it," Alec answered. "It's manageable at this point, and the physically therapy is going fine. If it gets worse, I will call my mother and see what she says about it okay?"
"You swear?" Magnus asked.
"I swear," Alec promised.
Magnus nodded and Alec kissed his temple.
"You think the two of you can go to bed now?" Alec asked.
"Only if you come with us," Magnus answered. "I swear, he won't calm down unless you're sleeping too. Why do you think I'm still up?"
"Because you wanted bacon," Alec pointed out as he stood.
"Well...bacon and because you weren't in bed either," Magnus replied. "Baby's can sense these things you know."
"Alright, alright, I will come to bed with you," he said helping him up. "Can't have you not getting any sleep."
"You're going to need it too, we won't be getting any when this one's born," Magnus replied, putting a hand on his baby bump. "You think this is bad. Wait until he's crying his lungs out at two in the morning."
"Well, when he's crying his lungs out at two in the morning, I'll let you sleep and I'll tend to his every whim," Alec told him.
"I don't know why, but that seriously turns me on," Magnus said. "Honestly though, anything turns me on at this point."
"I've noticed," Alec chuckled. "But you need to get some sleep. We can have sex in the morning." He turned off the light once they were in bed and wrapped an arm around Magnus.
"Night sweet pea," Magnus sighed.
Alec nuzzled him. "Night."
