Epilogue

A year later

"Come on, Alec, or we're going to be late!" Magnus shouted, banging on the bathroom door. Lightwood was in there for a half of an hour now, doing god knows what. "Alec!"

"Give me five minutes!"

"I'm counting!" In an answer Magnus heard only some murmuring. He rolled his eyes and went back to their bedroom, to finish putting his own clothes on. He reached for his red jacket, lying on their bed. They were going to the restaurant tonight, to celebrate their second anniversary. They finally could enjoy a night off, just the two of them, since this weekend belonged to Kaelie.

A year after the trial Alec and Kaelie had a good plan of taking care of Jake. According to the Judge's sentence, Jake stayed with Alec and Magnus, but Alec didn't get a sole custody over him. He and Kaelie had to share the custody, but the place of living the little boy was every place where his father was staying. Of course Kaelie was opposite to that, but after long talks mixed with tears and screams coming from both Alec and Kaelie, they've finally found a way to work this out.

Kaelie moved in closer to them, in her own apartment, where Jake had his room as well. She found a well-paid job, a boyfriend that Jake liked immediately, though he doesn't call him daddy, he calls him an uncle. The young woman takes Jake on most weekends to her place sometimes she takes him in a week too for a few days, as well as she can take him on vacations and such.

And Jake? Jake is so happy to have his mommy and two daddies so close to himself.

"I'm ready," Alec stepped into their bedroom, looking like a model from a magazine. The black suit he had on was very well fitted, a navy blue tie matching his eyes. A white shirt, picked not so long ago by Magnus for the wedding of Seth with his girlfriend. All in all, Alec looked wonderful, and Magnus wanted to eat him up. "Mags?"

"Yeah?" Bane snapped out of his admiration, he came closer to his boyfriend and threw his arms around him. "You look so wonderful that I don't want to go out anymore, just get you out of those clothes."

"We'll have a time for that later," Despite being together for so long, Alec still could blush even on a slight sexual innuendo. But that's what Magnus loves in him, this adorable blush. "We have to go. I think the taxi is waiting for us."

Alec grabbed his wallet from the drawer in the living room and clasped his hand with Magnus's, leading them out of their small apartment.

The restaurant, where Alec made a reservation for them was wonderful. Their table stood in the corner, near the fireplace, so they were away from the people's sights. There were candles on the table, two sets of plates and cutlery, two wine glasses. Alec pushed the chair for Magnus, like a real gentleman. Wait a minute, did that mean that Magnus is the lady in their relationship? Well, he could be, as long as Alec would charm him with his manners and this adorable little smile. Lightwood sat across to him, and a minute later, a waiter came to them, holding a bottle of a white wine in his hands. Once he left them, after he had poured them the wine, Magnus turned to Alec.

"How did you manage to convince him to give us an alcohol? I'm twenty, you're almost too..."

"Let's say that my sister and your brother are very convincing," Magnus laughed at those words.

Alec watched Magnus like enchanted. Bane's laughter sounded like the most beautiful music to him. He could listen to him for hours.

The waiter brought them appetizers, shrimps in a curry sauce with cherry tomatoes and basil. The dish smelled amazing, and it made Magnus's mouth watered. Bane watched as Alec devoured his dish in a few bites, when Magnus was enjoying and savoring the amazing taste, drinking the wine now and then. Then the waiter brought the main dish; a penne with seafood.

"Are you trying to seduce me with food, Alexander?" Magnus asked, after he had swallowed a bite of mollusc.

"Is it working?" Alec licked his lips, to seduce Magnus even more, which wasn't possible anymore, since by now Bane was able to do everything for the boy. When Lightwood finished his dish, he reached to the pocket inside his jacket and took out a small, white, plush box.

At that moment, Magnus's heart started to beat faster. Did that mean…

"Open it, Mags," the blue eyed boy spoke. With shaky hands Magnus obliged. And he was shocked, though not the way he expected himself to be.

"Keys?"

"What? Did you expect an engagement ring?" Magnus tried to hide the disappointed look in his eyes from his boyfriend. Indeed, he expected an engagement ring, especially in such beautiful box. Plus the occasion was perfect, a wonderful, romantic dinner.

"What are those keys for?" he asked, trying to sound as natural as he could.

"To our new home," Magnus's left eyebrow quirked in a question. "I have a new job, we both are better paid now, and we still squeeze in that small, two rooms apartment. Jake is growing, he'll need a bigger room soon. So do you, for your all clothes, so...I looked around and bought a small home for us, in the suburbs of Manhattan. It has three bedrooms and a living room, one big bathroom, and a small room that you can turn into your wardrobe," Magnus looked at him in a disbelief. He really didn't expect such a thing. "Magnus, honey?"

"A new home for us?" Alec nodded. "Alexander…"

"I want us to have a real home, you, me and Jake," Magnus leaned over the table and grabbed Alec's face to kiss him sweetly. Though Alec pushed him away too soon, to which Magnus gave him a confused look. "Do you want to burn yourself?"

Magnus realized that there were still lit candles on the table. Suddenly the waiter materialized himself next to them and cleared his throat nervously.

"I brought you a dessert, Sirs," he placed two cups of chocolate mousse with a small amount of chili, on the table.

Magnus enjoyed his meal once again, closing his eyes, so he didn't even realized that Alec got up from his chair. When he opened his eyes after a moment, licking his lips to savor the taste of mousse, he looked before himself. Alec wasn't there. He started to look around the room, until he felt a slight poke on his thigh. He looked down and saw Alec, kneeling on one knee, with a small, red, velvet box in his hand.

His mouth opened and his eyes went wide in a shock.

"Magnus Bane, the love of my life, I know we're just twenty, but will you…"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Magnus cut him off, placing his hands on both Alec's cheeks. He drew him closer to himself and kissed him hardly on the mouth. The sweet kiss lasted as long as they didn't hear loud claps and whistling in the room. When they pulled away from each other, both flushed; Alec of course more; Alec smiled sweetly to Magnus.

"You didn't let me finish," he started. "What if it wasn't engaging?"

"There better be an engagement ring in that box, Alexander, or I swear, you're sleeping on the couch from now on," Alec laughed at those words, opening the box. Inside of it was a golden signet with a blue topaz, similar to the color of Alec's eyes. It was beautiful, and it looked equally beautiful on the caramel finger of Magnus's left hand, when Alec slid it on it. "My auntie won't believe it."

"Actually…" Alec bit down his lower lip, looking meaningfully at Magnus.

"They all know about it already, don't they?" Alec nodded, getting up from the ground. He went back to his place and took Magnus's left hand over the table. He brought it to his mouth and kissed the top of the signet. "So I was the one left in the dark. And Jake?"

"He helped me pick the signet. And I quote 'Daddy Magnus likes our eyes, pick this one daddy," Bane wiped away the tear of happiness, streaming down his cheek. "He's really happy for our wedding. Along with Izzy and Alli they started to plan it last night. Of course I had my say no, when Jake wanted us to have a wedding cake in a shape of a monkey's face. Plus, he wanted us to get married in a zoo."

"That's our little boy, forever in love with monkeys," Alec had to agree with this. "That's why I love you, Lightwoods, you never disappoint me."

"You'll be soon a Lightwood yourself."

…

Ten years later

"Come on, Jake, faster!" Magnus banged on the door of the teenager's room so hard that he could make a hole there if the boy hadn't have double door; a wish on his twelfth birthday, so he could have a bit of a privacy from his both dads and younger sister Tatiana. "You have ten minutes or I'm coming in!"

"I'll be out in a moment, dad!" he heard in a response. Like father, like son, Magnus thought. Both Lightwoods did not know the word ' on time'. They always were late, and if it wasn't for Magnus and his concern, they sometimes were on time in some important places. "Why so grumpy?" Jake asked, opening his door. "I'm ready."

Magnus nodded at Jake's outfit: a black suit, red tie and a white shirt. His black, half long hair now were made up to the back on the gel; Alec keeps telling him to cut them off now and then, though the boy keeps answering that he has a thing for long hair after Magnus.

"You look so handsome."

"You say that, because you're my father. You have to say that," the teenage boy put his black shoes on and patted his father on the shoulder. "Where's dad and Tee?"

"They are waiting for us in the car for twenty minutes already," Magnus fixed his golden tie and grabbed his son by a hand. He led them out of their house. "You're the one who took the longest."

"Says who. You're putting your make-up for an hour, dad."

"Sometimes I wonder, after whom, you're so mouthy?" the young boy smirked, opening the door of the black Aston Martin, where his sister and other father were already in. He climbed on the back seat, next to Tatiana, behind Alec, who was sitting on the passenger seat. Magnus got in the driver seat and shut the door loudly.

"After dad Alec."

"What after me?" inquired Alec.

"Dad wondered, after whom I'm so mouthy," Jake replied, grinning at Alec, who watched him in the car mirror. "After you, dad."

"That's true!" Tatiana spoke. She was ten years old, black haired girl, whom Magnus and Alec adopted eight years ago, when Jake was five and demanded siblings from his two dads and his mother. And Tatiana, when they met her in the orphanage kids home, they fell in love with her immediately. A half year later they adopted her and Jake had finally a second sister. Kaelie and her soon-to-be-husband have two kids on their own; Tommy and Katie are Louis kids from the first marriage.

After an hour of riding they were finally at the Court. Jake moved to the front, to his mother and her fiance. Alec, Magnus and their daughter stayed at the back. Today, there was the wedding of Kaelie and Louis, finally, after eight years of relationship.

During the reception, in one of New York's restaurants, Alec and Magnus watched their children dancing and playing with other kids from the groom's family. Magnus laid his head on Alec's shoulder and sighed.

"They grow up so fast. Before we know, they'll be adult and leave us alone," Alec tangled his fingers in Magnus's short hair and stroked them.

"You're right. Sometimes, I don't want them to grow up at all," Magnus laced their hands. "I'd like them to stay as babies forever."

"What's up?" Jake showed himself suddenly before them with a wide smile on his face. "You have so gloomy faces. It's mom's wedding, we should be happy with her. By the way, I'm going with mom for two weeks in the mountains in winter holidays."

"We are happy," Magnus sighed. "We just sigh that you and your sister grow so fast."

"Jeez, dad," Jake sat down next to Alec. "We won't be little kids forever."

"Such a shame, because you were so cute as kids," Alec kissed the top of his head, drawing him closer to his chest. The teenager, as usual, tried to escape his father's hug. It's not a cool thing for a teenager to be kissed and hugged by his father, like he'd be a little boy again. When Alec released him, he ruffled Jake's hair.

"Dad!" Alec just poked Jake on his nose. The boy turned to Magnus. "Tell him something! He ruins my hair!"

Magnus just burst out in a laugh. When Tatiana joined them, called by her father's laugh, Magnus looked at his family. They were perfect. Alec hugged both of their kids, smiling broadly. Right next to them, Kaelie hugged her newly wedded husband and two kids.

Magnus couldn't stop a happy smile that came up on his face, when his mind set a thought.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Alec poked him on his arm, getting him out of his thoughts.

"That I have the most amazing family in the entire world," Magnus wrapped his arms around the three of them, squeezing them hard, to which both of his kids moaned in a disapproval. Alec agreed with that thought.

Indeed, they had an amazing family that had and will have a wonderful life.

A/N: Did you like it?

I know that some of you may think that Kaelie doesn't deserve a happy ending, but I wanted to give her some happiness in her life.

For the last time: Review if you feel like to.
