50. Epilogue

"Never in my four hundred years of living, have I ever changed a diaper," Magnus said, slowly backing away from the child lying on the changing table. "I don't really need to start now."

"Changing diapers comes with adopting children! You can't expect me to change all of the diapers by myself!" Alec looked horrified at the very thought.

"Shh Alec! Inside voices," Magnus reprimanded as Rafael began to cry. "Hush, darling. Daddy doesn't want you to cry." Magnus went to pick Rafael up, but then remembered that the baby's diaper still hadn't been changed.

"Could you, Alexander?" Magnus motioned between Alec and the changing table.

"I'm holding Maxine! What do you want me to do?" Alec said, cradling their new daughter in his arms. "Why don't you just use magic."

"I don't have any energy left! I haven't slept since we got them two days ago!"

"Oh for the love of-" Clary came into the room with Jace and the twins. "You guys still haven't changed his diaper? He's going to get a rash!"

"Here, hold her," Clary put Brianna in Magnus's arms and then went to change Rafael's diaper.

"There you go, baby," Clary said in a soothing voice, picking Rafael up and bouncing him lightly so he would stop crying.

"You, biscuit," Magnus said. "Are truly an amazing person."

"Mhm," Clary swapped babies with Magnus. "You're welcome."

"Hi," Magnus cooed at Rafael. Rafael spit up in response.

"Ugh." Magnus made a face as the saliva landed on the sleeve of his jacket. "It's a good thing you're cute," he told Rafael.

"Magnus!" Izzy yelled.

"Ah, the lovely couple is back from their honeymoon," Magnus said.

"Why the hell didn't you portal us back?" Izzy asked, coming into the nursery.

She froze when she saw the two babies in Magnus and Alec's arms.

"Did you guys have more kids?" she asked Clary and Jace. "That somehow have black hair?"

"We had kids," Magnus said. "Er, well, we didn't have them, but we adopted them."

"This is Maxine," Alec went over to Izzy with Maxine in his arms. "And that's Rafael."

"Hi," Izzy smiled at the babies.

"Are they. . .?" Izzy trailed off.

"Shadowhunters?" Alec finished her question. "Rafael is. Maxine is a warlock."

"Hi," Izzy said again to her new niece and nephew.

"How was your honeymoon?" Clary asked.

"I hate flying," Izzy said.

"What?"

"Since Magnus didn't show up and portal us back," Izzy sent an accusatory glare at Magnus to which he shrugged an apology. "We had to book a flight and go to a mundane airport. It was awful!"

"You'd think coach - a designer label - seats would be a good thing. They're not," Izzy said.

"That's not the same coach," Clary said.

"I know that now," Izzy said. "The designer label would not have a bratty, screaming little kid sitting in B7."

Izzy looked at Maxine. "You're not bratty are you?"

Maxine titled her head to the side and cooed.

Izzy smiled. She wondered if her baby had survived if he or she would have grown up to be bratty. Then she started to wonder if she and Simon could adopt.

"What's that smell?" Izzy crinkled her nose.

"Oh, Rafael's diaper. I have to toss that." Magnus handed Rafael to Izzy. He put on a glove and held his breath, picked up the soiled diaper and, holding it at arms length, walked out of the room.

"Ah!" Izzy screamed.

Everyone turned to look at her to see what was wrong.

Rafael has thrown up on her.

You know, Izzy thought. Maybe she and Simon shouldn't adopt.

The End

Hi! Hope you guys liked it! I'm sorry for the mediocre chapter but, like the previous chapter, I wrote it for fluff purposes. Plus, I needed another chapter to get the nice 50 chapters. It would have bothered me if there had only been 49 chapters in this book. ;)
