Stay With Me.

Chapter 19

A/N the only excuse i have for not updating is: it's been rough at home. Apologies.

Alexander's POV.

Everytime I walked past my mother or father in the institute, I grew nervous. It was more of an anxiety attack almost than just nervous feelings. We hadn't told anyone about the engagement, and now we have a baby situation on our hands. My Dad was barely coping with me being Gay. He says he's okay with it, but sometimes i get the feeling he still hates me.

My Mom would scold me saying I was too young, but she would still be happy and support Magnus and I. This could make my father snap. I was afraid of that.

I had to tell somebody. As of now Catarina was the only one who knew. It was hard keeping this a secret from my family. I went in search of someone i knew I could trust. Jace. He wouldn't rat me out.

I quickly found him. He was training as usual. Clary was watching him, eating strawberries, her baby bump was huge. She was ready to burst at any moment. I replaced her with Magnus and blushed lightly.

She gave me a weird look and Jace cleared his throat. "Um- Alec, is there a reason you're looking at my girl all weird like that?"

"I- um- I," I stuttered over my words, "I need to talk to you. It's important."

"Does Clary need to leave?"

"It's not a problem if I do, I understand," she said.

I shook my head, "s-she can stay."

"Is everything alright," Jace asked.

"Everything's great actually. Um- Magnus and I are engaged."

"What's the big deal about that," Clary piped up, "That's a great thing, why do you seem so nervous about an engagement?"

"Well- we're also having a baby."

"Alec," Jace started, "I won't try to change your mind, but you're not even married and you and Magnus are already trying to adopt?"

"You aren't married to me Jace, what's that supposed to mean?"

"We aren't engaged and thinking about kids at the same time Clary! Both at once is a lot to handle."

"No- guys. Shut up and listen! We are /having/ a baby. Magnus is pregnant!"

"Woah," Clary said, "your parents are going to kill you."

"Thanks," I said dryly.

"Congratulations Alec. This is great," Jace said and gave me a sweaty hug.

"You need a shower," I mumbled.

He laughed, "you better go tell Izzy. She'll be upset if she's very last to know."

I nodded and went to tell her. She started asking tons of questions after I finished. Questions I didn't know the answer to. I was saved by a call from Magnus.

"Hello," I said when I picked up.

"Alexander get your ass here now before I have a panic attack."

"Why what's wrong," I was concerned.

"Catarina is coming by early to do the ultrasound and stuff and-" he started to cry, "and I'm scared and I need you."

"I'm on the way baby, hang in there. I love you." I hung up the phone and left the institute.

When I got home Magnus was nearly in a full blown anxiety attack. I rushed to him, "Magnus. Maggie, calm down. You're panicking over a small thing. Go ahead and lay down in bed, be prepared for when she gets here."

I got him into bed and I laid down next to him. She showed up with all her equipment. She didn't waste time and got started right away. She told Magnus to pull up his shirt as she started putting the equipment together.

I noticed the slight weight difference in Magnus' stomach and grinned. I gave his tummy a gentle kiss. Magnus smiled happily. He loved tummy kisses.

I moved away so Catarina could put the Jelly like substance on his stomach. I took Magnus' hand, when it made contact with his skin he gasped and squeezed my hand. "It's cold," he mumbled.

I kissed his knuckles and watched the moniter as Catarina moved the ultrasound device around his stomach.

After several minutes of this. Catarina stopped and pointed out where the baby was. I was grinning ear to ear and Magnus had tears in his eyes.

I still couldn't believe it.

 I was going to be a father.
