“Oh she is tiny,” Izzy exclaimed, then asked “does she seem healthy, other than a bit small?”

 

“Feeding and pooping well,” Magnus replied. “I was hoping you can check her over properly before you do any blood tests?”

 

“I can do that,” Izzy smiled, putting her arms out to take the sleeping baby. “how often is she feeding?”

 

“Every couple of hours,” Magnus told her, “it's been a long time since I looked after a baby.”

 

Izzy gave Alec a questioning look and he just shook his head and shrugged.

 

Looking down at the infants features she smiled.

 

“I would say she's not a downworlder,” Izzy told them, does she have a name?”

 

“Kitten,” Magnus told her.

 

“No,” Alec added, “there was no note or anything to say.”

 

“What's wrong with kitten?” Magnus muttered.

 

“It's a cute nickname but not an appropriate name for a child,” Izzy agreed. “we will find the right name for her.”

 

“Okay!” Magnus stated, “now, please check her over.

 

Izzy had placed a thick folded blanket on top of the table she had prepared for the baby to lie on. Picking up the hand held scanner she slowly passed it slowly over the length of the infants body, from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.

 

“She is compltely healthy,” Izzy told them with some relief herself. “She is maybe 3 or 4 weeks early but she is holding her own.”

 

“That's what I guessed,” Magnus replied.

 

“Blood tests next, they will take me a little while to get the results though,” Izzy said, reaching for the equipment she needed.

 

“Don't hurt her,” Alec said quietly.

 

“I'll be as gentle as I can, but she will probably wake up,” Izzy told them.

 

“Okay,” Magnus agreed, feeling Alec's hand join with his and hold it tight.

 

They watched as Izzy carefully inserted a tiny needle into the infants tiny vein, she gave out a small, soft cry and then settled back into sleep again. Magnus and Alec felt each other let out the breath they were holding, watching closely while the vial filled up with blood and then smiled at each other when Izzy removed the needle and taped a tiny ball of cotton wool over the needle site.

 

Izzy placed the vial of blood in a kidney dish and picked the baby up, giving her a cuddle.

 

“This reminds me of Max as a baby,” she told them, “except he wasn't so small, had hair and cried a lot!”

 

“I do remember the crying,” Alec told her with a smile.

 

“How long will the tests take?” Magnus asked.

 

“No more than a couple of hours,” Izzy told him, “are you going to wait here?”

 

“No. We'll take her back to the apartment,” Magnus replied. “this is no place for one so young.”

 

“Okay,” Izzy said, carefully handing the baby back to Magnus. “then I will get on with the tests and will let you know the results.”

 

“Thank you Izzy,” Alec told her.

 

“Anything for my big brother,” she smiled, “well, almost anything!

 

They said their goodbyes and Magnus portalled them back to their apartment.

 

“This little lady needs a proper place to sleep,” Magnus stated when they arrived. “time for the spare room to have a makeover.”

 

“But she might not be here for long.” Alec told him.

 

“No matter Alexander,” Magnus replied. “it will only take a moment or two to turn it back into a spare room again.

 

“True,” Alec agreed and followed his husband to the said room.

 

Magnus handed the baby to Alec and looked around the room, his mind whirling with ideas for a place suitable for a baby nursery. With a smile on his face his arms began to whirl around in the air before him, pink and purple sparks flew from his fingers and then in a sudden moment the whole room changed before them.

 

The walls were a soft pink and the thick velvet curtains blocked out the daylight. The original furniture was replaced by that suitable for a baby and in the middle of the room was a fancy bassinet decorated with frills of lace and fit for any little girl.

 

“Perfect,” Magnus nodded to himself.

 

“It's very pink,” Alec noted out loud.

 

“Fit for a princess,” Magnus smiled, “and on that note, what about the name Aurora?”

 

“Aurora?”

 

“It's the name of a Roman Goddess and a Disney princess,” Magnus informed him.

 

“Disney Princess?” Alec asked.

 

“Sleeping Beauty?” Magnus asked, Alec shrugged.

 

“Okay, well, do you like the name?” Magnus added.

 

“It's as good as any other, but when she is adopted they might change it.” Alec replied.

 

“And she will be to young to remember,” Magnus smiled, giving Alec a soft kiss on the lips before laying her sleeping form in the bassient.

 

“She'll be awake again soon,” Magnus told him, “I need coffee.”

 

“No, you need sleep,” Alec replied.

 

“My dear Alexander, I am fine,” Magnus smiled, patting him lightly on the chest with his right hand.

 

“No, get some sleep,” Alec insisted, “I have watched you take care of her … Aurora … and I can do so too.”

 

“Are you sure?” Magnus asked.

 

“Perfectly!” Alec insisted, taking his hand to lead him from the room and to their own bedroom. “But later, you tell me how you know so much about looking after babies.”

 

“Okay,” Magnus agreed resignedly.

 

Pulling his husband close Alec kissed his tenderly before gently pushing him towards their bed and then headed to the kitchen to make up a soon needed bottle.
