"Excuse me mister..!!! The parking is on the left" the security of the hospital shouted after him…
"Then park it on the left " he threw the keys to him and ran inside the hospital ignoring the security guard staring at him and shaking his head on seeing His attitude, while walking towards Magnus's car.. It's not that Magnus wants to be rude.. There is a lot running in his head which he wasn't sure about…
When he ran inside with his suit left open which was swinging in the air.. He stopped by Raphael, who was already waiting for him at the reception..
"Where is he??" Magnus asked Raphael while his eyes wandered around every nook and corner of the hospital ..
Raphael : he is waiting outside catarina's room and his mom is in the pharmacy…. Alec was sitting there all alone.. (he said and walks along with magnus)
Magnus : did he see you?? (he asked while checking the wards)
Raphael : no.. Only I did.. I just called David (another car driver of Magnus's ) and asked him to take amira back home… I was here all this time. I am sure he didn't leave this place yet.. (he assured)
Magnus : did amira see him?? (he asked while getting on the corridor which leads to catarina's room..)
Raphael : no she didn't .. I told you it's only me… (he said and stopped walking when magnus does… he saw magnus standing there like a statue staring at the person sitting in the chair right in front of him while staring at the empty floor and tapping his feet on it .. Magnus closed his eyes when he felt that familiar yet fresh smell, he just realized he sensed the same smell the day alec left him… actually magnus knows the smell of alec but now alec smells more like magnus not like his usual omega self…instead of getting happy, he felt the rage on seeing Alec sitting all alone with his baby …)
Raphael : Damn.. That was Magnus's !! (he smiled on smelling alec's new scent… )
Magnus walks straight to Alec with his nose bulging in anger…. just because Alec is sitting on the chair,His little bloated bump is not visible in that hoodie he wore on.. Yes it was Magnus's hoodie…
Before Alec could notice Magnus's presence and before Magnus could reach Alec , Catarina came out with a file approaching alec… Alec stood up with a smiling face on seeing her.. "As I said Everything was completely normal with you and the baby" she smiled while extending her hands to give that file to Alec but her face turns out surprised on seeing Magnus snapping that file from her hand.. That's the moment Alec noticed that his magnus was here…he didn't expect him especially not now… that moment he knew he fucked up… alec's heart started to beat really fast like he did some kinda crime and got caught red handed.. His breath is getting irregular on seeing magnus but magnus wasn't even looking at him. He opened the file and started to read it…
Cat : magnus!!! What are you doing here?? (she smiled and waved at Raphael who was standing keeping his distance from Magnus because he knows that they both need to talk. He thought they needed some space..)
Magnus didn't reply, he just checked the reports with an angry face.. Alec swallowed hard in fear. He knows about Magnus's anger but he doesn't know what Magnus is mad about. Is it because he is hiding his pregnancy from him? or he is getting pregnant with Magnus's baby without his permission …? Alec blinked In terror
Cat looked at Magnus and Alec back and forth.she could sense that tension in Alec's face and anger in Magnus's face...
"So it was him??" Catarina asked alec.. Who looks too pathetic and terrified right now…
Cat shifted her gaze to magnus..
"So it's him!!!! The one you got worried about and took a test on yourself that you don't have any sexually transmitted diseases, the other day??" Catarina asked on looking at Magnus which was all new information for alec.. Alec frowned on hearing that.."STD test??" he frowned at magnus..
Magnus not even listening to anything.. His eyes widened and his anger took him over when he saw the duration .." 12 weeks??? "he shouted in anger..
Alec closed his eyes on that sudden lash out.. Cat got startled a little and Raphael knew it's coming..so he was ready but that temper magnus hold was totally different this time…
Cat : 11 weeks and 5 days (she said and tried to change his mood but it's all a failed attempt).
Magnus : It's 12 weeks , you hid this thing from me for almost 12 weeks… for all these days you are carrying my baby in your tummy … "my baby" and I don't get to know that ..are you out of your mind?? (he literally started to yell at him)
Cat :Magnus relax!!! He is pregnant, please don't shout at him like that… (she tried to call him down but Raphael knows it is never gonna work.. Only him and amira knows how much magnus suffers alone ) I asked him about the father of this baby but he wasn't ready to say … It's not my place to force him magnus .. If I knew this baby was yours I would have let you know since the beginning..
Magnus : Am I that bad person alec??? that you can't say my name…??? That you can't mention this baby is mine (he said pointing at the file… Alec just stood there speechless he don't have answer for that, he don't know what he explanation he gonna give)
Cat : magnus!!!! … (she tried to calm him again but magnus staring made her mute)
Magnus : I will call you, catarina.. Can you give us a minute .. I need to talk to him.. (he asked kindly, his eyes still fuming in anger)
Cat : sure but it's a hospital.. And he is pregnant so keep that in mind and keep it low.. (she said and left, throughout the time magnus gaze was fixed on alec… Alec can't even say a word on looking at those fuming eyes.. Magnus looks fierce today)
Magnus : how could you do that to me?? (he asked in low voice, he is trying his best not to lash out again but he have his anger issues)
Alec : magnus!!! (he tried to talk but he don't know what to say)
Magnus : Did you know this, when you left me??? The last time we argued and you walked out by leaving me behind in my room, you know this back then???you know this when you confess to me?? (he asked still holding that file on his hand tight )
Alec : Magnus please!! (he tried to touch him but Magnus backed off.. Alec wanted to scream it out by holding Magnus's collar "that he wanted him" but he held his emotions back.. His eyes got wet)
Magnus : did you know or not?? (he asked even more sternly.alec left a shaky breath and replied)
Alec : I knew!! (he said and looked at Magnus without even blinking.. That's where magnus lost his hope.. He Shook his head and nodded repeatedly..) but magnus please listen to me.. (he said and that death glare from magnus is enough to shut alec down)
Magnus : I am listening.. Talk!!!!! (he shouted which made Alec close his eyes again) talk… At Least, talk now!!! (he roared which made Alec terrified) have you ever planned to say this to me or you just want to move on with this baby without even letting me know that I do have one .. I do have a son or daughter who could call me dad …have you ever planned to tell me that you do have my tiny little human growing in your bump for all these days..? Did you ever plan to tell me that I finally have someone to call me as a family??? (he asked angrily with his lips trembles and his eyes blurred and his body shakes on saying all this)
Alec : I was.. (he cried and on seeing Magnus crying like that he break his silence ..)i was going to tell you(he said and shake his head)
Magnus : when?? After I die?? Or on my funeral?? (he asked still angirly)
Alec : God stop talking like that!! (he raised his voice) I was going to tell you the other day.. I made up my mind, that if you accepted my love then I would have said that..but you didn't .. (he cried) Then what did you want me to do..??you want me To say that I got myself pregnant with your baby without your permission, when you were drunk on our first night we spent together in my house…?? I can't say the truth after knowing that you are not gonna love me back. You know how it feels to carry your baby and hear it from you that you can't love me back.. It's like burning myself with the truth… (he cried out his pain,Raphael doesn't have any heart to hear them.. She just sat on a chair nearer) tell me something,Magnus ..Will you accept my love if I said I was carrying your baby??
Magnus : I would have !!! (he said in a low voice.. Raphael just closed his eyes on hearing their conversation.. He was close to Burst out in tears as well.. Alec chuckled through tears )
Alec :sounds like a charity to me.. charity won't work on love, magnus.. I don't want that… That's why I didn't tell you that I am pregnant… (magnus frowned on that) I want you to love me for who I am not because I am carrying your baby…. I don't want you to love me under condition…I don't want you to love me for a reason.. I want you to love me the way I love you (he cried his eyes out)
Magnus :you are saying your reasons But that doesn't justify that you hide this much important thing from me…. You have no idea how much I am craving for a family…. I lost too much in my past.. When Raphael said he saw you today and you are hiding this very important thing from me.. I was praying all the way that this baby should be mine… what you did is not so fair… you don't understand my pain because you have everything.. You have a family.. Mother , siblings and my baby .. I have none… you have everything when I was dying alone in my darkness.. For all these days I was wondering that one constant feeling I had.. I feel like you took something from me… I Never knew it was my baby.. You don't understand how I feel Alexander, you will never understand.. All you can say is I am being overdramatic.. Or overreacting … (he said sniffing his tears and emotions)
Alec : magnus.. I do know how you feel…(he tried to get closer but Magnus averted his eyes.. Alec could feel that pain of distancing again. But still he fought it back ) magnus… I didn't mean to hide it from you.. It's just I don't want you to think I did it on purpose… I thought, what if you think I did it to get shares in your properties through this baby.?... I thought, What if you think that I did this for money…??and I thought.,What if you think this baby wasn't yours?? (he said with hurtful eyes which made magnus even more broken ) I can't take it if you think about me like any of this …
Magnus : it's all about what you thought.. You don't care about what I actually want and how I feel… and look at your reasons, am I that cheap to think all this?? How did you say you love me when you have these kind of judgements about me….??(he clenched his jaw) You came to confess your feelings to me like if I accept I can have my baby, if I don't you will hide my baby from me forever ... .What is this alec?? This isn't you… (he asked in disbelief) it was like you confessed after knowing that you are pregnant like you don't have any other option, otherwise you wouldn't… isn't it?? -( he asked Alec which is not true.. ) for a moment I thought someone loved me for who I am but that's not true.. You said you love me because I made you pregnant..
Alec : stop it magnus(he lashed out finally) .. I confessed to you because I love you not because I knew that I am pregnant with your baby and not that I don't have Any other option..this thing happened between me and you is not because of the heat of the moment.. Maybe you were drunk that night, not me.. I know what I am doing, I was in my heat and I really want it with you.. I want to give it to you… I let you mate me because I love you and I am all for it to have a baby with you.. On that day I don't care whether you're gonna love me in future or not .. Trust me, I confessed to you because I love you I still do… (he stammered in return and held his head .. Magnus doesn't know what to say. He was angry, confused and he was frustrated already. Out of all the mess he could see Alec's little bump flashing around when Alec's hoodie moved a little up .. The happiness magnus felt at the moment.. Only he knew how happy he was to see that little bloated flesh filled with his own little plump, now he knew what he was craving for all these days , he didn't crave for sex, he didn't crave for love, all he craved for, was to touch that bump and feel those teeny tiny moments of his baby.. He lost half of his life sulking around, mourning and drowning in the darkness.. He is not ready to let go of this baby. He started to think maybe this was the moment.. Maybe he suffered for all these days to have this moment.. His hand extended to touch Alec's bump without his knowledge .. In the middle of chaos Alec noticed that Magnus' lips were curling up with a cute little smile through his tears on seeing His bump.. Alec looked at him tiredly and smiled through his tears… He started to fall for this magnus again and he know that there is no stepping back )
Magnus stopped arguing and listening to anything , his focus was fully on that bump. He just wants to touch it,feel it and hold it, just to make sure it's all real.. His happiness was real… Alec cried in happiness. He tried to take Magnus's hand and kept it on his bump. but stopped when he heard Maryse's voice from the other side…
Maryse : don't you dare to touch him again!! (she shouted looking at Magnus , thank God the corridor and waiting room was free of patients..)
Magnus looked at her confusingly.. Because her eyes reflect the same anger as Magnus's … Alec was like "fuck!! It's gonna be war" he thought to himself..
Magnus : And who are you to say that?? (he asked still dominantly ).
"my mom.." alec voiced out which made magnus give a quick apologetical look at alec…
Maryse walked fiercely towards them.. Throwing death glare at Raphael… who made a 0 face and took a step back
"mom… Relax" Alec tried to calm her.. But it's not happening.. ..
Maryse : you shut up!!! (she muted Alec by pointing her finger at Alec who sighed in return) what the hell are you doing here?? (she asked looking straight Into Magnus's face) get out now..
Magnus : this is between me and your son .. I will leave if he asks me to (he said staring at alec. His eyes were still red in anger.. Alec can't take a side right now.. He tried his best not to make it more complicated..)
Maryse : between you and my son ? (he laughed in a mocking way) where have you been for all these days..?? (those her words were wounding on magnus)
Magnus : I was here but it's your son who hid his pregnancy from me.. Who hid my baby from me.. (he mocked back)
Maryse : you baby (mocking chuckle) Did Alec say that this is your baby??? (she asked in anger.. She really wanted to hear it from Magnus because that is what Alec is afraid of.. .)
Magnus frowned and replied "I don't know about you but I know him enough that he is not that kinda person who sleeps with random guys for fun and gets pregnant.. And I am an alpha. I know that scent of my heirlooms and I could sense their presence out of a million.. The one your mom had on his bump is mine "he roared out.. Now Maryse could understand why Alec loved him.. Alec gave a loving and longing look at magnus..
Maryse : I know about my son, you don't have to give him a certificate… especially not you.. I know how pure his love is.. The one I don't trust with this is you .. Because when he confessed his feelings to you, you didn't even consider it…. You just kicked him out after using him for your lust… can you see how filthy that sound?? (Magnus' lips start to tremble again but this time in anger…)
Alec :mom.. (alec whispered in disbelief, he tried to stop her.but Maryse is unstoppable)
Mrayse : he carried that baby for all these days all alone…. He went through everything alone… he can't sleep, he can't eat, the fatigue, the craving, the mood swings, the morning sickness and most of all his craving for your love and care.. Can you bring back those moments and turn into the happiest one, the moment he spent alone crying on his own fate…?? I never seen him sleeping peacefully one night not even one night (he spilled her anger without knowing that magnus wasn't doing any better)
"mom.. It's not only Alec who suffered…" Raphael tried to explain but Maryse shut him by a single move with her hand.. Alec looked at Raphael because Raphael was about to say something that could make him feel better..
Magnus : I agree he went through everything alone…(he stressed that word '' alone ") but it's not my wish, it's the decision taken by your son .. you have to understand that your son hid his pregnancy from me… i am not a future predictor or a sorcerer to find it in myself… if he chose to hide it from me you have to question him not me..I want this baby more than your son does (he said while looking at maryse, alec just watched him in silence...) so from now on, he is gonna stay with me (he said taking alec's hand which was cold as ice and alec could feel that warmness on Magnus's touch.. His face and ears were red in anger that's another story)
Maryse looked at him in shock..
Maryse :no. I am not sending my son with you.. Especially not after seeing how rude you can treat him(she took Alec's other hand)
Alec looked at both of them.. He don't want them to fight because of him
Magnus : yes I am rude and I am a monster…I am not good for your son…you have to put some sense on him that I am not good for nothing… I am not stopping you from doing that. But he is carrying my baby until he gives birth to that little one. He is my responsibility.. (he lashed out still holding Alec's hand tight.. Alec looked at Magnus in disbelief he could feel that hold getting tight every second)
Maryse was about to say something but Alec stopped her and asked Magnus "what happens after that??" He asked with crooked brows.. Magnus closed his eyes frustratingly. "look at me magnus… tell me what happens after I give birth to our baby??" Alec asked out of confusion
Magnus : your mom said I am nothing but rude with you.. You don't have to live with a rude person… I will take responsibility for this baby after birth.. You don't have to make your life hell by sticking around with me.. (he said while looking at the floor)
On hearing Magnus's words.. Raphael cursed Magnus under his breath…
Alec :look at my face and say that… (he growled in anger)
Magnus closed his eyes and bit his lips "look I can't give you the life you are expecting from me.. Your mom was right.. I can't treat you any better.. But I promise I will take care until you give birth "Magnus said looking straight Into Alec's eyes..
Maryse : tell me now alec, you really gonna fall on that trap again alec?? (he asked Alec instead of taking her anger out on magnus) this coward is not ready to accept you.. He is asking you to be with him only for his baby…
Alec : I am going with him, mom (he said staring at magnus who blinked at him confusingly with a broken face)
Maryse : are you out of your mind alec?? He is gonna hurt you again.. Why can't you see that?? (she said to Alec while eyeing magnus angirly )
Alec : I Will stay with him for next 6 or 7 months.. Until my due.. At Least I will find one good reason to hate him forever (he said grinding his teeth.. His eyes filled with tears.. His nose bulges in anger)
On hearing Alec's statement Magnus could feel that fear deep inside his heart.. He doesn't want Alec to hate him, he never wanted that.. The way Alec said it made him afraid of his upcoming days..
Maryse was totally disappointed, she took her hand from Alec's wrist and walked away without uttering anything.. "mom.." Alec voiced after her but she kept on walking.. Alec wants to run after her but Magnus' hand was holding him tight.. "Let me go" Alec says, still burning him with anger filled eyes..
Magnus shook his head as no… "you have to let me go now otherwise I am not coming with you" he asked staring at the strong hand holding his wrist.. Magnus inhaled sharply and let alec go…
Alec ran after maryse…
"can't you be a little nice to her ??" Raphael asked Magnus in annoyance..
Magnus : that women talking like I fucked her son and ran away after knowing that I made him pregnant … (he berate in anger)
++++++++
"Mom, wait!!!" he stopped her..
Maryse : aren't you left already.. I thought you went with your magnus!! (she murmured in all fed up tone )
Alec didn't say anything, he just pulled her Into his arms and hugged her tight.. Maryse breathed out when Alec rubbed her back.. Alec pulled back when maryse started to talk
Maryse : Alec… I don't know what you are thinking…?? But I am sure he is never gonna change.. If he hurts you once again.. I will kill him, I won't think twice… (she muttered)
Alec : The Magnus you see today is not him… He is angry because I hid this pregnancy from him.. But this is not real magnus … he won't hurt me.. He will never… I promise (he said caressing her cheeks)
Maryse :if you say so but look at him he is not gonna love you back… He is too clear in that.. He is just using you to give birth to his baby.. He is talking like he is gonna walk away with his heirs, leaving you behind..I can't see you go through that pain once again..
Alec : mom.. As I said.…It's either magnus accepting his love for me or me finding a reason to hate him.. (he said smiling weekly) by that way it won't hurt much at the end
Maryse :I know you are good with words.. But don't do those tricks with me .. I am not magnus. (she crooked her lips with a teasing smile) I know there is no universe you hate him…
Alec : Give him one more chance.. Before this he didn't know that I loved him but now he knows .. So he will definitely express his feelings towards me at some point or at any form… We have 6 to 7 months… I am sure You will love him mom… (he assured)
Maryse : Whatever you say.. (she left a disappointed sound ) At Least I am happy that he is taking you with him.. I can't see you crying alone sitting on your empty bed staring at the sky and the empty streets … craving for his presence, running towards the window on hearing a car horn every time, expecting it to be him and begging for his love and care in silence ….. For good or bad… at least you can have him next to you … (she said and kissed his cheeks)
Alec : he always shows his affection and care in a totally different way, mom.. I want that and I am craving for that… this time I am not ready to let him go.. (he said and smiled)
Maryse patted Alec's cheeks with a smile "go… I Want to see you happy that's all" she said hugging alec one last time 💖 TBC 💖
