OMG I AM SO SORRY! Seriously, I have just been busy and all those other excuses you people have no interest in hearing. But fear not my lovely readers, I have not forgotten about you! Here is the loooooong awaited update with the loooong awaited birth!

Reminders: The transformation spell is the spell mentioned earlier. It turns Alec into a girl so he can have the baby without a hitch. And please don't ask me how Jocelyn knows so much about childbirth. She just does. Seriously, the "OMG that is SO unrealistic!" comments irritate me. Well OF COURSE any story involving male pregnancy will be unrealistic. Last time I checked, men don't have babies. I also have never had a child, so my knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth include only what Google tells me.*sigh* Rant over.

Warnings: This is a little graphic-ish I guess. I TRIED to be realistic, so the birthing process does have some detail. Squeamish people be wary.

"Okay Alec, I'll only be gone for a few hours. Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?" Magnus looked worried and Alec rolled his eyes. Magnus had reached a whole new level of over protectiveness during Alec's eighth month of pregnancy. It was really starting to get on Alec's last nerve.

"For the last time Magnus, I will be fine. Please stop worrying, it's driving me crazy!"

"But Alec-"

"No buts! You have a client to attend to and you can't ignore him forever. Please Magnus, go do your job. I will be fine. I promise." Magnus looked unsure as he grabbed the door knob to leave.

"Okay Alec, but please call me if anything happens. Okay?" Alec nodded his head and all but shoved Magnus out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 Hours Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alec was not feeling well at all. He shifted on the couch for the millionth time, trying to find a comfortable position. This wasn't easy seeing as his mammoth stomach made maneuvering a chore. For the last hour, he'd been feeling this nagging discomfort in his lower back. This wasn't really anything new, so he wasn't all that worried about it.

Alec continued to watch T.V for the next two hours, but finally he had enough of the slight pain. He heaved himself of the couch and headed for his and Magnus's bedroom to get some sleep. He looked at the alarm clock before sliding under the covers. Magnus had been gone for longer than he said he would be. I guess the job took a lot longer than Magnus expected it to. Alec eventually fell into an uneasy sleep, cold without Magnus's warm figure beside him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Several Hours Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alec awoke with a gasp. There was a stabbing pain in his stomach. He groaned. What the hell? The pain was intense and burning. Alec gripped the sheets in a tight fist as sweat beaded on his brow. He tried to breathe through the pain and just as he was sure he was going to explode, it suddenly stopped. Alec took deep, gasping breaths as he tried to get his bearings. His mind was still foggy from sleep and he had no idea what was happening until he felt something odd. He lifted the sheet to find a puddle of dampness on the bed. Oh God, did I just wet the bed? He was embarrassed for all of three second before it hit him. His water had broken. The babies were coming. Now.

~~~~~~~~~~~Magnus's POV~~~~~~~~~

I don't know why I put up with these people. All they do is complain. That potion was perfect; there was no need to re-brew it three times! Magnus was scowling to himself as he opened his front door and trudged up the steps to his apartment. When he walked in the living room, he heard a low, but audible, pained moan. Magnus rushed to his bedroom, only to find Alec curled up on his side. His hair was plastered to his forehead with sweat and his hands gripped the sheets so tightly that they shook. He was obviously in intense pain. He watched as Alec collapsed in relief as the pain passed. Alec then seemed to notice Magnus and looked up at him.

"M-Magnus, could you call Jocelyn for me?" His eyes were wide and afraid. Magnus could only stare at him wordlessly until another wave of pain crossed Alec's face. "Magnus! Call Jocelyn! NOW!" Magnus hurried to do so.

~~~~~~~~~~~Jocelyn and Clary Arrive 20 Minutes Later~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay Magnus I need you to calm down. Alec needs you to be strong right now. Can you do that for me?" Magnus nodded silently. "Good. So I take it you already performed the transformation spell on Alec?" Again, Magnus nodded. "Good. So how painful are the-" A pained scream came from the bedroom. "Never mind," Jocelyn said as she hurried to the bedroom where Clary was keeping Alec company. Magnus rushed in right behind her. Alec was lying on the bed, panting from the pain. Clary was holding his hand, well, having her hand crushed by him, as she whispered words of comfort and encouragement. Magnus immediately went to Alec's side.

"Baby? Are you okay?" Magus immediately realized that was a stupid question as Alec gave him a death glare.

"Do…I….look….okay?" Alec barely gasped the words out. Magnus conceded that Alec had a point. He looked pretty exhausted.

Jocelyn had been hurriedly talking to someone on her cell phone and had just hung-up.

"Okay Alec, I called Isabelle, and she's bringing the supplies I need. I just need to check how dilated you are." Magnus watched as Jocelyn lifted the sheet and proceeded to check Alec. When she was finished she replaced the sheet and stood up. "Okay Alec, you're only about half-way there. It'll still be a while.

About ten minutes later, Izzy burst through the door, out of breath and holding what looked like a doctor's medical bag.

"Okay, I'm here! Did I miss anything?" She asked breathlessly while depositing the bag by the bedside.

"No Izzy, it will still be a while before the babies come." Alec moaned at this disheartening knowledge. Clearly, the pain was not about to ease up any time soon. In fact, Alec noticed that the pain only seemed to get even worse.

…

Alec wanted to die. Seriously, the pain was that bad. I am a Shadowhunter! I can handle this! It's really not that- "OH MY GOD WHEN WILL IT STOP?" Alec screamed suddenly, breaking the tense silence.

Jocelyn stopped folding towels and looked up at Alec, "Well, it's been a while since I checked so you may be far enough along to start pushing." Alec began panicking. Pushing? But that means the babies will really be here. Oh God, what if I can't do it? It's probably going to hurt. A lot. Oh God, oh God, oh- "Okay Alec, I think it's time. Tell me when you have the urge to push and them we can get started."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Magnus' POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Magnus was sure his hand was broken. Every time Alec actually managed to squeeze his hand even harder, Magnus could hear the scrape of broken bones. Ow, sometimes I really hate that Shadowhunter strength. But broken bones were the least of Magnus' problems at the moment. The babies' arrival was imminent and Alec's pain was increasing to the point of him losing all of his I-am-a-tough-Shadowhunter-who-feels-no-pain exterior.

"GOD, Magnus you are never allowed to touch me again! Do you hear me? No more sex ever!" Alec managed to pant as he suffered another contraction. When the pain passed briefly, Alec was apologetic and assured Magnus that he didn't mean what he had just said. Bipolar much Alec? Ugh, my poor hand. "Uh Jocelyn, I feel weird."

"Like you need to push?" she asked. Alec nodded.

"Okay. Clary go stand by Alec's head to encourage him. Magnus, come here and hold up his right leg. Izzy, you get the left." Magnus and Izzy, both looking wary, went to their assigned positions. "Alec, when I tell you to, start pushing. Push down and push hard. Got it?" Alec nodded, still blushing from the fact that all these people saw him lying on his back with his legs splayed. Awkward.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alec's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come on Alec! Just a few more pushes! I can see the first baby's head!" Jocelyn shouted encouragingly at Alec. Magnus, who had used magic to heal his hand, patted Alec's leg in an attempt to comfort and encourage him. It wasn't working.

"I'm trying! It's hard!" Alec couldn't believe that getting this baby out, let alone the second one, was even possible. He felt like his body was literally being ripped in half. His vision was blurred with pain as he pushed with all his might. He collapsed back on the pillows, spent.

"Okay Alec, the head is out. You're almost done, then you can rest a little before the second baby comes." The prospect of doing this a second time did nothing to ease Alec's intense pain. But he pushed again anyway. Nothing happened. Alec pushed one last time, using every once of energy he had left and- "It's a boy!"

Alec looked up at the red, squalling infant Jocelyn held up for him to see. As she cut the cord, Alec's mind spun. That was his baby, a tiny fragile life that depended on him and Magnus completely, and it was perfect. His perfect little baby boy.

Jocelyn finished cleaning the baby and handed him to Alec, who eagerly held out his arms. Alec looked into the tightly shut eyes on the still crying face of his new son. "Shh baby. It's okay. Daddy's here." Alec whispered to his baby, brushing his tiny forehead with the tips of his fingers. Magnus leaned close to them and held the baby's hand, which then wrapped tiny fingers around Magnus' thumb. Alec looked up, eyes shining with unshed tears. Magnus smiled back at him and was about to say something when Alec felt an all too familiar urge to push. Again. Alec groaned to announce this fact.

"Okay Alec, hand the baby to Magnus. It's time for baby number two." Clary was forced to help hold Alec's leg as Magnus cuddled and cooed to his new son.

Surprisingly, the birth of baby two went much more quickly. Before Alec knew what happened, he suddenly felt empty and Jocelyn held out his new baby. His new baby girl. Alec lifted his weak arms to receive his new daughter. Unlike her bald sibling, she had a small patch of dark hair on her tiny head. Her face was bright red with the effort of screaming her lungs out. Alec shushed and soothed her until the harsh wrinkles on her forehead smoothed out. When she calmed, Magnus nestled their son into Alec's other arm. Alec smiled tiredly down at the two precious bundles. He was about to pass out from exhaustion when the babies opened their eyes.

Muh ha ha! An evil cliffy! Don't you all just hate me? Lol. I'll try to update MUCH faster this time. Please review! And if you have questions, PM me or something.
