Alec's POV

I wake up with a sleeping Magnus curled into me. I smile and kiss his cheek. He looks so cute curled up like that. I put both my arms around him and lay there with my eyes closed. There's complete silence and it's a nice one.

I gently rub Magnus's bare back as he sleeps quietly and comfortable. I love waking up to Magnus being curled up into me. Ever since I rescued him and the twins five years ago I don't leave him alone at home anymore. The kids go to school at the institue now. Well all except Rafael.

Rafael only comes home for a little amount of time now. And if not he stays at the institue. Madzie and Max have had enough of Rafael acting like this and are going to knock some sense into him and see if he'll come back to us. Hopefully they won't hate each other for it.

I feel Magnus start to wake up and slowly remove one arm from around him. He finally wakes up and yawns. He looks up at me.

"Good morning Alexander" He says and I smile. "Good morning sleepy head. Did you sleep well babe?" I ask him and he nods.

"Yes I did. You're very warm and comfortable" He says moving his hand along my chest. I pull him close to me and don't move.

He laughs.

"Can we at least get ready for the day before we start this?" He asks and I shake my head.

"No I want to do it now. I want to stay like this forever. I miss doing this everyday.

God I love waking up next to you Mags. It's the best feeling in the world" I say to him and he puts his arms around me and sighs happyily.

After a few minutes we get up and start getting ready for the day. Soon we are at the table with Madzie, Max, Amethyst and Phoenix. I look at Magnus who has tears in his eyes. I feel my heart break.

Ever since Rafael decided to be more of a pre-clary shadow hunter like I was back then, he hasn't been home for breakfast or any meals or parties.

He doesn't come back for weeks. And it breaks Magnus Even more each time we sit together. Madzie and Max look at Magnus's face and become red with anger.

"Don't do it" Amethyst says looking over at them. And we look at her.

"Do what Amee?" Asks Madzie but Phoenix give her a look. "Don't say anything to Rafael that'll upset him.

He won't come home that way. And don't trick him either. He won't believe you-" Amethyst says but stops for a second.

We watch as her eyes change as shes having a vision. Once she's done she suddenly rushes to her room and grabs her whip. And opens the front door. We follow her and stop cold at who's at the door.

"Rafael!!"Amethyst says and drops her whip. She hugs him and he hugs back. Madzie and Max look at each other and then give me a look.

"Amethyst I missed you so much. Little sister you've gotten so big" Rafael says while hugging Amethyst.

They pull away and stare at each other for a moment. Rafael then  looks up at me and Magnus. Magnus walks over and pulls him into a hug. Rafael stiffens for a moment and then hugs back. He mumbles something to Magnus who nods and mumbles something back.

They pull away as Rafael turns to me. He stands there awkwardly before slowly walking over to me. I pull him into a hug and he slowly hugs back. "Dad... I'm sorry" He says quietly and I tighten my hold on him.

"It's okay baby boy. I'll always forgive you. I'm always going to no matter what" I tell him and we let go of each other.

He gives me a small smile. He turns to Phoenix who smiles. They share a hug but with no words. After they they pull away he turns to Max and Madzie. He stands there not knowing what to do. Max goes to hug him but Madzie pulls him back.
