Alec walks in with Raphael on his hip. The Little is still in his teddy bear onesie as he hides his face in Alec's neck. Magnus is rubbing his back as they walk in. Jace is on the floor beside Simon, who is distracted by his plush toy that Jace brought. Alec sits on the floor with Raphael in his lap and Magnus sits beside them. Simon looks at Raphael and crawls closer to him. The younger Little looks at him in confusion and slight fear.
"Hi! Daddy say I have be careful around you cause you a baby! Cmon less play!" Raphael crawls a bit closer to him and grabs his blocks, stacking them like Alec showed him. Simon grabs some blocks too and stacks towers, knocking them down after. "Now you!" "I no wanna..." Raphael stacks another tower, keeping his first one standing upright. Simon looks at him, a little bit confused. He pushes Raphael's first tower down, upsetting him. Raphael gets upset and takes two of Simon's blocks, making the older of the two Littles take action by pushing Raphael hard. Raphael hits his head on the floor very hard and he starts crying, more out of shock and because he was startled by it than hin getting hurt by it.
While the boys are playing, the three caregivers sit on the couch. Jace talks to the couple beside him, not paying full attention to the Littles nearby. "Simon found this on the internet and we tried it out. He usually falls into a toddler headspace, between two and four." Magnus nods. "Raphael has always been in an infant state when he she's down. I introduced him to this decades ago, Alexander had just joined today." Alec nods. He hears a loud thud and then quiet crying. He rushes over to the Littles first, Magnus and Jace heading over at a normal speed. Alec cups the back of Raphael's head gently.
"Can you tell daddy what happened?" "S-si push me!" He cries a bit louder and hides his face in Alec's chest. Simon crosses his arms and pouts. "No! He just a baby! He lie!" "No! I no lie daddy I pwomiss!" Alec rubs Raphael's back. "It's okay sweetie daddy knows you're telling the truth. Simon why did you push him?" "He took bwocks away!" Magnus raises an eyebrow. "Mijo is that true?" "He knockded my towew down fiwst papá... I tookded two bwocks aftew..." Magnus nods and looks at Jace. "So both boys are in the wrong it seems, though Simon more than Raphael. Do you agree?" "Completely. I honestly believe that Raphael isn't even at fault in this scenario. Simon apologize to Raphael." "No! He juss a dumb baby!" "Nu uh! I no dumb!" "Simon Lewis!" Simon turns to see Jace looking at him in disappointment. He looks down. "Is he fault." Jace shakes his head. "I'm gonna take him home. A certain Little boy needs a time out." Alec nods and continues to comfort Raphael. Magnus creates a portal as Jace lifts the Little in his arms, prepared for a tantrum.
Once they leave, Raphael starts to calm down. Alec holds him close, helping him calm down fast. Magnus smiles at how natural Alec seems with Raphael. Alec kisses the boy's head and tickles him a bit, all tears vanishing instantly.
Jace put Simon in a ten minute time out, which felt like a year for the toddler. Afterwards, Simon ages up. "Man I was a dick." "Yep. But Raph will forgive you. Now you just need to apologize next time." Simon nods.
