Here is the last part of this short story. Thanks for everyone who read it! :D It means the world to me!

I own nothing, just the plot and any OCs used.

"Today is a great day!" Magnus cheered lifting Max up in the air.

Max squealed in happiness at the sudden motion and waved his hands widely. Magnus had a strong hold on Max's stomach, so he would not fall. chuckling, Magnus pulled him down and blew a raspberry on Max's cheek.

"Your papa is coming home!" Magnus grinned

"Pa!" Max giggled

"Yes! your papa!" Magnus kissed his forehead "So I was thinking we should make a welcome home dinner!"

"Ah bah bah" Max babbled trying to grab one of Magnus's earrings.

"No-ah" Magnus pulled away Max's hands "You cannot have those. Someone could get hurt"

"Da" Max pouted.

"Come on. We have to get the house ready for papa!"

Magnus walked towards the living room and placed Max on the mat. Looking around the area, he noticed what a mess their apartment was. He should clean the whole place before Alec arrived. He knew he would need to pick up Max's mat and find somewhere else to put Max, or leave him in his room. Loving the little sounds Max made as he played or looked around, Magnus decided not to keep him in his room. So Magnus snapped his fingers and a baby walker appear in the living room. Grinning in triumph, Magnus lifted Max once again and placed him on the baby walker. Max looked at the thing unsure of himself, never really being in one of them. He looked up at Magnus with big eyes, but Magnus just smiled at him and stroked his hair gently, bumping his horns slightly.

"Have fun blueberry. I'll be around cleaning the room"

Max looked at the different colors and toys in the console at the baby walker. He pressed his hand against a big red circle and it made a squeaky sound. Max startled at the sound, but soon started to giggle. He pressed it once again, with more force, and burst out laughing.

"Da!" Max called looking at Magnus with eyes filled with joy "Da! ound!"

"Yes Max!" Magnus grinned "It's so much fun right?"

Max laughed once again when he pressed the circle and the sound came out once more. He then started to press the other figures and they all made a different sound or had a different texture. Max laughed and cooed at everything in his new discovery. Every time a new sound came out, Max would call out for Magnus to hear it as well.

Meanwhile, Magnus was picking up all the toys and things that were around the room. He did not used magic. Alec did not like when Magnus used his magic for little things that he could do himself. The Shadowhunter claimed it was a waste of energy. Magnus, of course, stopped doing it while they were dating and was now used to it. He only used his magic for big clean-ups or renovation of their living room...or for getting new toys for Max. But picking up the toys on the floor, he decided to do it manually. He took a basket from the laundry room and started to pick up the blankets and pillows that should be washed. He also took all of the toys back to Max's room and placed them in the proper toy box or shelf. Once he returned to the living room, he replaced all the pillows and the mat on the floor. He dusted off the furniture and the TV, before organising the pillows on the sofas. He cleaned the windows and re-filled flower bases and watered the plants. Afterwards, he moved to the kitchen and started cleaning the countertops and cabinets. He could still hear Max playing in the living room. Soon enough he heard the small wheels on the baby walker move across the floorboard and knew Max had figured out how to walk with it. Max giggled and squealed happily as he played, enjoying the new pastime. Magnus knew that it would be really hard to get Max away from the baby walker without a fight. He could not wait for Alec to hear how happy their son was with the new addition.

The two warlocks had spent the morning at the Institute. Maryse had gotten then early in the morning and was rejoiced to find her grandson there. Ever since Max had come to their lives, Maryse and Robert found any excuse on the book to see him. Not like they needed an excuse, they were his grandparents after all. However, after so much time lost with their son and their reluctant acceptance towards Magnus, they felt the need to make up for it.

So in the morning they had breakfast together. Afterwards, Magnus and Isabelle went through her closet, reorganising everything and planning a new shopping trip while Maryse and Max spent some time together.

Just a few hours before lunch, Magnus had managed to get Max away from his grandmother and got him home. They had gone really quick to the store to get some food for tonight's dinner. Magnus had already planned what to make, he would cook Alec's favourite. One of the few dishes he had cooked himself when they had first started dating. Alec had loved it and Magnus made it whenever he wanted to surprise Alec or just to do something nice.

"Max!" Magnus called when he was finished cleaning the kitchen. "Come on love, it's time for your bottle"

Max protested when Magnus lifted him from the baby walker. Holding him in his arms, Magnus hushed Max gently. Magnus prepared the bottle quickly and then moved towards the living room, dropping a towel over his shoulder. Magnus sat down on the sofa and gave the bottle to Max. He instantly stopped complaining and grabbed the bottle, supporting it with his hands and drinking it gladly. Magnus smiled down at his son and turned on the TV. He guessed he could relax a bit. He still had a lot of time before dinner. He guessed he could eat a quick sandwich for lunch and get started on cooking dinner while Max napped. Project Runway was playing on the TV so Magnus settled on watching the episode. After Max had finished his bottle, Magnus burped him and then stayed for a little cuddle time with his son.

Alec had arrived earlier than expected to New York. He and Jace had given their early class and then after a small meeting with he headmaster of the Academy, they had escaped Idris. Both of them were restless to get home. Jace could not wait to go back to the New York Institute, he never enjoyed being at Idris for too long. And of course, he was missing Clary like crazy. Alec, on the other hand, was longing to get to the flat he shared with Magnus in Brooklyn. He could not wait to surprise his partner by showing up early. And he could not wait to see their son, Max. He had missed their baby boy so badly. The way his eyes would light up when he saw either of his parents, or the way his joyful giggles would warm up the room. He missed his family and he wanted to see them as soon as possible.

The parabatai had arrived at the New York Institute. After greeting Clary, Maryse and Isabelle quickly, Alec had rushed off towards Brooklyn. He decided not to call or text Magnus. He wanted to surprise him and he guessed if he arrived home early he would be able to catch Magnus off guard. There was the possibility Magnus had decided to take Max out to play at the park or to another shopping trip, but Magnus had not mentioned anything the night before. Alec hoped they would be home. If they were not, that would mean that Alec had to wait much longer to be reunited with his family and Alec was not sure if he could handle it.

He took two steps at a time. They really needed to fix the elevator in this apartment complex. Jugging upstairs, he finally reached the floor where their home was. Walking down the hallway, he could not reach the front door fast enough. Once there, he tried to control his breathing and took out his key. Opening the door carefully so it didn't make any sounds, Alec peered inside. He walking inside, his steps soundless. There was no sounds coming from the inside of the house expect for the sound of the TV. He knew it was coming from the living room, but it was turned on a volume really low that Alec could not think Magnus was actually watching it. There was no other sounds inside the house. No sounds from the kitchen that indicated Magnus was there, or from their bedroom. No sounds from the living room that indicated Max was playing there or watching a cartoon. Usually when Max watched the TV he would coo and aah at the sounds and colors, sometimes even giggled or laughed out loud. Confused, Alec closed the door behind him the soft click echoing around the area. The sound of small pats on the floor caught Alec's attention. He looked down and found Chairman Meow walking towards him. The small tabby cat soon started rubbing his body against his legs. Alec bent down and started scratching the Chairman behind his ears. The cat started purring happily, curling against Alec's hand. Alec smiled softly at him before standing up and walking further inside the house. He dropped his jacket and took his boots off by the front door and then walked down the small hallway towards the living room. Once there he stopped by the front door. The sight that greeted him was just too precious. Magnus was lying down on the sofa deep in sleep while Max napped against him. Max was in the space between Magnus's body and the back of the sofa. Magnus obviously had made sure of that so he could not roll over and fall on the floor.

Alec smiled tenderly at the two most important men in his life. He was shocked at the intensity of the love he felt for both of them. Those two perfect men in front of him were what filled Alec's life with joy and love and Alec could not believe he was finally home and he could see them again.

Alec moved silently towards the sofa. He leaned over the back of the sofa and hovered over them. He smiled at the sight of Magnus's peaceful face as he slept. Leaning down, Alec placed a tender kiss on Magnus's forehead. Magnus's brow furrowed as Alec pulled back. Magnus sighed deeply and then he started to blink awake. Alec waited for the warlock to be pulled out of the land of dreams. One Magnus's eyes focused he looked up at Alec, who smiled happily at him.

"Alexander?" Magnus asked. His voice was rough and deep, still clouded with sleep.

"I'm home" Alec whispered leaning down to kiss Magnus on the lips.

"mmm" Magnus smiled happily "Welcome back"

Once they pulled away, Magnus was much more awake. He looked around as if finally noticing where he was. He instantly wrapped his arm around Max when he saw the baby boy sleeping next to him.

"What time is it?" Magnus asked looking up "I can't believe I fell asleep…I wanted to have dinner ready for you!"

"I came back earlier" Alec smiled "It's just past four"

"Oh" Magnus said and then pouted "I still can't believe I fell asleep…it's all Max's fault"

"Of course" Alec laughed lightly. They were talking in hushed voices, so Max would not wake up from his nap.

"I'm serious! He fell asleep on me, using me as his personal pillow!" Magnus protested "Do you know what extra sleep does to my face? Wrinkles! That's what it does! It brings wrinkles!"

"Magnus…you're a warlock" Alec chuckled "You can't get wrinkles"

"Hmm…I'm not sure" Magnus pondered "It may happen"

Alec grinned down at his partner. He could not help himself, he was so glad to be back home. He leaned down once again and kissed him on the lips once again. Magnus sighed happily and pressed back, kissing Alec lightly.

"I'm so glad you're back" Magnus whispered against the shadowhunter's lips.

"I'm glad to be back" Alec responded.
