when it buzzes louder Alec ran to pick his phone, still wearing his kitchen apron around his bump and his hands filled with flour , ..
Daniel : Jezzz Alec…. Your magnus is not gonna disappear… Go slow (he teased)
Alec rolled his eyes at Daniel and looked at his phone with pouted lips because it's not from magnus.. On seeing Alec's upset face Daniel asked him "it's not magnus, isn't it??" he giggled..
Alec :no it's not him..he won't text or call me unless it is necessary.. (he said and opened the text from the unknown number)
Daniel : what?? He won't text, asking about you or your health or the baby ?? (he asked in disbelief)
Alec : No… as we are staying together he won't call or text during my work hours… (he said simply but that disappointment Is obvious)
Daniel : I can't believe this.. I understand , but You don't have to talk romantically, at least you deserve a text from him, just to remember that you meant to him like you are important to him.. Because after all you are caring his baby… (he said out of care)
Alec : He does care about me.. He has his way of showing that on low key (he smiled with a nod) but he won't believe in talking and texting for an hour like usual lovers and calling each other with sweet nicknames like honey or baby so and so … (he said smiling at Daniel)
Daniel :didn't you ever expect such things from magnus??not even a text? (he asked with a same proud smile)
Alec :I do… Actually a lot.. (he thought for a second) but the way he treat me and take care of me when I get back home totally convinces me (he smiled with a little blush on his face)
Daniel : hooooooooooo(he made a teasing face and got a kick from Alec)
Alec shook his head and opened the text, there is a link which takes him to his mail.. And there is an invitation, on reading it Alec smiled at first but made a disappointed face following that..it's from the art gallery.. Alec was invited to present his artwork for the final sale of the year in their annual fest … last time when he did that he earned a lot of money which saved his family from bank debt in a single swipe… NoW he wants to participate badly because If he had luck he might earn a little and he might give back the money he borrowed from Jace's father….. But this time as Alec went through a lot of emotional breakdown, not even one of his art is happy.. It's all about him and Magnus and how much he wants Magnus back in his life …. He doesn't want to wash his dirty laundry in front of others.. So he thought he should Pass…..He locked his phone and continued with his work disappointedly..
++++++same evening in Bane's mansion+++++
The whole evening Magnus was busy with his work.. Even at dinner he came down to have dinner with everyone just for Alec's sake… he can handle and face anyone but he can't handle Alec's pregnancy tantrums, it's getting worse day by day and he is not complaining … so he was very careful not to trigger that side of alec. If Alec asks something he will definitely do that without saying no.. If Alec says something he will listen without uttering a word .. If Alec stayed silent he started to make himself scared ... ..because if he starts with his tantrum he won't stop…
Alec came back upstairs after spending some time talking with Amira and Zoe, he talked with Maryse on the phone.... Raphael was busy in his room, he is working on the project which Magnus has been busy with ,since evening… He Opened the room and saw Magnus standing next to the table by leaning down and checking on the papers while facing the lawn… Alec noticed Magnus wearing a casual black t-shirt which is tight enough to show his defined arms and his back bone, he wore a Grey sweatpants…Alec eyes went wide when he noticed that Magnus was already going commando on those gray pants, he was wearing nothing under that.. Alec could see those finely defined ass cheeks and those defined legs and thighs. Alec swallowed hard on rubbing his bump … he was getting sinful thoughts on seeing magnus working hard with those sweatpants..
