The Family Plan Chapter Fifteen: Parents and Priorities

Alec Pov

"Give it back!" I could hear my eldest son yelling in the living room and sighed, already knowing that Magnus was the cause. Here I thought he was done pushing Rafael's buttons.

"Ooooh, who's Ash? Is that short for Ashley? Got yourself a little crush?" Magnus's teasing voice echoed through the room.

"None of your business! Give it back!"

I could hear them both chasing each other around the room and I sighed, shaking my head. Sometimes I swear I have three kids instead of two.

"Oh no you don't. I'm not done teasing you yet. Who is Ash? Is she cute? Is she your little girlfriend?"

"Shut up and give it back to me!"

"Rafael and Ash, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!," Magnus sang, making my head shake even more.

"I don't know what you're spelling but stop it! You are supposed to be an adult, but you're acting like a child!"

Pretty much summed up Magnus Bane in one sentence.

"I'm a child at heart!"

Well, at least he is aware of it.

Sighing, I walked out of the kitchen and leaned in the doorway, watching them run around the living room fighting over a notebook.

"What are you two doing in here?"

"Magnus won't give me back my notes!"

"Well, I got to tease him. He's learning how to spell Ash. It's so cute that he has a crush. I want to meet her."

"You will not!" Rafael screamed.

"Ash could also be the name of a boy," I chimed in, thinking. Pretty sure Clary has a nephew named Ash, or something close to it. Not a very common name, but it gets used sometimes.

"Not you too!" Rafael groaned, throwing his head back in dread.

"Oooooh, A little boyfriend? Even better. Which is it Rafael? Ash or Ashely?"

"I'm not going to tell you. God, you are so embarrassing! Dad! Make Papa stop!"

Everyone in the room went silent as realization and dread washed over Rafael. He cleared his throat before snatching the notebook from Magnus, who didn't even fight to keep a grip on it.

"I'll be in my room. Call me when dinner is done," He said before running to his bedroom. Magnus watched him go before looking over at me wide eyed.

"Did he just say what I think he said?"

I nodded silently, still unable to believe it. A wide smile formed on Magnus's face.

"Did he just call me what I think he called me?"

I nodded again, not able to fight a big smile of my own.

His smile reached his ears as he ran over to me and scooped me up into his arms, spinning me around. I laughed, wrapping my arms around his neck and holding him tight.

"Dad and Papa. Did you hear that? He called us dad and Papa!"

I nodded, trying to contain the giddiness bubbling up inside me. "I heard it."

Magnus put me down before running his hands through his hair. "I never saw this happening. Not this soon anyway. Hell, maybe not ever. I guess I just always expected Rafael to call me Magnus. Never would I have thought that he would call me papa."
