Magnus is cleaning out his office when he finds an old photo created from using a memory. He freezes and feels tears collect in his eyes, it's from such a happy moment that now hurts to think about. He wipes his eyes quickly, hearing Alec's footsteps approaching. The shadowhunter peers his head in the doorway and can immediately see that something is wrong. He walks in and hugs Magnus, not looking at what he's holding.

"What is it? You seem upset." Magnus shrugs. "I'm fine..." "Mags we've talked about this." The warlock sighs and looks at his boyfriend. "Just a now painful memory..." Alec looks at the photo and can tell that it is at least a few hundred years old, meaning it was originally a memory. He takes a closer look and sees Magnus holding something... is that...? "You have a kid?" Magnus sighs and has Alec sit down. "Back in 1716, while I lived in France..."

[~Magnus hears a pounding on his door and groans. He opens it to reveal a french woman he hasn't seen in around seven or eight months after a one night stand, looking different and angry. He raises an eyebrow at her.

"You look like you are about to explode from your abdomen..." "It is called being pregnant! You had gotten me pregnant you are the last man I had slept with!" Magnus is confused, he knows that is not physically possible. She lets herself in and sits down. "You are to take responsibility for this. I cannot raise the child on my own." Magnus nods. "Alright fine. I will aid you in raising the baby."

After she fell asleep that night, Magnus used his magic to examine her swollen belly and the fetus. He reaches the baby and pulls his hand back quickly as he feels something odd. The baby inside of this woman has his same genetic makeup, not any of the mother's at all. He also can sense a weak presence of magic identical to his own growing within the unborn fetus. He sends a fire message to Ragnor Fell immediately, confused by this.

Magnus paces the floor as Ragnor enters the room. The older warlock raises an eyebrow at his anxious friend. "What was the emergency?" Magnus tells him what he discovered and Ragnor looks immensely confused. "Let me check as well, maybe you could sense the magic because it was yours that you felt." Ragnor enters the bedroom silently and does the same thing that Magnus did, finding the same results. He returns to his best friend in the den and shrugs. "You were right... But how is this possible?" "I have no clue... Maybe-... I bet you that it was a greater demon! Some of them have powers in DNA manipulation!" "Like your father?" Magnus freezes. "I would not doubt that it was that vile thing..." Ragnor sighs.

"So what now? Once the baby is born we send the mother away?" "You were able to sense it as well, she will not survive... The Silent Brothers will not accept the baby however given that there is a direct relation to me..." Magnus groans and sits down. "Looks like I am going to have to raise it..." Ragnor places a hand on his friend's shoulder. "And I will be right there beside you."

Magnus's uninvited guest went into labor about a month and a half later and, as predicted, died within seconds of giving birth. Magnus holds his new daughter in his arms, already cleaned and wrapped in a blanket. Ragnor looks at them. "Any names in mind?" Magnus nods, not looking away from the tiny and curious golden cat eyes that are fixated on him.

"Adelia. It means nobility. I decided on Sinta for a middle name. It means rose. And of course Bane as a last name." "You're naming your daughter Noble Rose... You are such a cliché Magnus Bane." "Oh you love me."~]

"...and I raised her. Ragnor was a large help to me and Catarina and even Dorothea were there throughout her life... Her and I haven't spoken in many years... We had a falling out and I have not even heard of my daughter all this time..." Alec wipes the tears away from Magnus's face and hugs him close. "Maybe we can find her?" "I highly doubt that she will ever want to see me again, Alexander..." The shadowhunter sighs, wanting to fix this.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Adelia groans as she's woken up by a loud snore beside her. She pushes his face. "Darling I know that you're awake..." The man chuckles. "My apologies, my dear. I just wanted you awake so I could see those gorgeous cat eyes of yours~" His British accent gets her every time so she can't help but roll her eyes and smile. "You're lucky I'm in love with you, Lucifer Morningstar." "And I adore you, Adelia Morningstar." They share a sweet kiss before she buries her face against his hairy chest, loving every second with her Devil. After her fallout with Magnus, she lived in Hell with Lucifer then moved with him to Los Angeles in 2011. There's a knock against the doorframe, Mazikeen leaning against it.

"Your uncle is here again, Lia." The warlock woman groans and gets dressed, not wanting to greet him naked. Ragnor Fell is seated at the bar in Lux, smiling at Adelia when he sees her. She hugs him tightly and smiles. "How are you, uncle Ragnor?" "Great right now. How's your... husband?" Ragnor shutters at the word. Adelia laughs, her and Lucifer had gotten married while in Hell and she took the fake last name when they moved. "He's doing great. He's a better man you know." "Yes I know." Ragnor sighs. "Maybe it's about time that you contact your father." "Oh please... He despises my very existence... He would never want to speak with me again..."

[~1932

"Why can you not just accept this?!" Adelia is furious at her father. She has been seeing a certain someone that she knows she shouldn't, the man has been visiting her from a level of Hell for Angel's sake! Magnus looks ready to lock her in a room. "You are not to see this man am I clear?" "Ayah you're being ridiculous! I am 216 years old I can date whomever I please!" "The man is the Devil himself!" Adelia flinches back, Magnus had never yelled at her before.

"You and I are both half demon and I cannot date a fallen angel?! You are out of your mind! Lucifer and I are in love and you cannot stop me from being with him!" Magnus snaps his front door open. "Go." Adelia looks at him in shock. "W-what...?" "Go. You are a grown woman and I refuse to stand here and watch you ruin your immortal life. Go live with your beloved I do not care. Just do not come crying back to me when he turns out to be the monster I know he is."

Adelia starts to cry, hot tears streaming down her face. She snaps all of her things into two bags and opens a portal to where she can contact Lucifer. She looks at Magnus before stepping through. "I hate you." She leaves and the portal closes, both warlocks breaking down in their current locations.~]
