The following morning Magnus woke to an empty bed, glancing at the clock he noticed it was almost 8am. Worried that something had happened to Aurora since he last fed her at around 4am he sprang from the bed, hurriedly donned his dressing gown and rushed through the flat, almost missing Alex sat in one of the armchairs in the living room with the sleeping baby against his shoulder.

 

“Is she okay?” Magnus asked, trying to keep the panic out of his voice.

 

“She's fine Magnus,” Alec reassured him, “I heard her whimpering about an hour ago so I left you to sleep while I fed her.”

 

“And changed her nappy?” Magnus smiled, noticing a rolled up used disposable nappy nearby.

 

“Thankfully it was only wet!” Alec stated.

 

“Did you burp her?” Magnus asked.

 

“Yeah, I did everything you taught me,” Alec smiled. “I feel I should put her back down to sleep but I don't want to. Shame I have to leave for the Institute in a few minutes.”

 

“Well, I shall portal you there and then you get a little bit longer with her,” Magnus smiled. “coffee before you go? Something to eat?”

 

“Coffee please,” Alec nodded. “I can get something to eat later.”

 

When Magnus returned with the coffees Alec had got to his feet and was slowly walking about the living room whispering to the sleeping Aurora. Standing just out of sight he listened to the words his husband spoke, hearing him tell her that she was the most beautiful baby he had ever seen, despite not yet having any hair, that she had the most amazing blue eyes and most of all that he didn't want her to go to another family.

 

Magnus took a few steps backwards and then cleared his throat as he stepped into sight. He placed the coffee mugs down on the table, walked over to where Alec stood with the baby and kissed his softly on the lips.

 

“What was that for?” Alec asked with a smile.

 

“Just for being you Alexander,” Magnus replied. “let me take her so you can drink your coffee, babies and hot drinks don't mix.”

 

Magnus wasn't at all surprised when Alec tilted his head down and pressed a soft kiss to Aurora's forehead before handing her over.

 

“Did you manage to rearrange all your appointments yesterday evening?” Alec asked.

 

“Most of them, just one or two people I never got a reply from,” Magnus told him. “I'm sure they will call this morning.”

 

Alec drained the last of his coffee. “I should get going, I'll see you tonight.”

 

“Tonight,” Magnus agreed.

 

Alec kissed Magnus goodbye with a soft kiss to the lips before placing another one on the baby's forehead before rushing off to the institute the second Magnus conjured a portal.

 

“Now my little kitten,” Magnus said softly to the sleeping baby, “Papa has some work to do.”

 

“Papa?” He said aloud to himself, “No, I mustn't get too attached, Alexander is doing enough of that for the both of us.”

 

Magnus placed her back in her bassinet and left the room just as his first client of the day arrived at his door.

When Alec arrived home later he found Magnus dozing on the sofa, a used baby bottle on the coffee table and a full cup of now cold coffee beside it. Silently he grabbed them both and moved through to the kitchen, emptying the cold liquid down the sink before cleaning both it and the bottle and putting both the coffee machine on and the kettle to boil water ready for the next bottle.

 

“You're home,” a groggy voice came to him.

 

Turning round he spotted Magnus, looking still half asleep leaning against the wall.

 

“Busy day?” Alec said, moving to embrace his husband in a hug and giving him a lingering kiss on the lips.

 

“Too many clients to cope with while looking after a baby,” Magnus admitted. “I'm going to have to rearrange some of them again so I have time to at least drink a cup of coffee before it goes cold.”

 

“I noticed,” Alec smiled. “No more clients today?”

 

“No, all done Alexander,” Magnus smiled, “but kitten will need another feed soon.”

 

“She's stuck with that nickname, isn't she?” Alec smiled.

 

“Well, you won't let me call you pup or panda so ...” Magnus trailed off with a grin.

 

“Don't you even think about trying them again,” Alec laughed.

 

“I won't pumpkin ...” Magnus grinned.

 

“I inspire words beginning with P apparently,” Alec replied, “but seriously, no!”

 

“I'm just joking with you,” Magnus smiled, drawing the younger man into another kiss.

 

“Good,” Alec said when the kiss broke, “you go and have a relaxing bath and I will take care of Aurora if she wakes.”

 

“Thank you Alexander,” Magnus replied, giving him a kiss on the cheek before they untangled themselves from each other and he headed to the bathroom, deciding in his head which aromatic oils he would add to the water.

 

Alec made up the bottle for the baby, made himself a coffee and then headed to the little table that held all the ingredients for cocktails and following the recipe Magnus had taught him to make a Martini he then poured it into a glass and carried it through to the bathroom where Magnus was soaking in a deep bath full of bubbles.

 

“I thought you might want this,” Alec said, offering the glass.

 

“Never stop ceasing to amaze me Alexander,” Magnus said, reaching out to take the glass.

 

“Never!” Alec grinned. “Now, enjoy that and the bath while you can, I believe our little princess is awakening.”

 

Magnus nodded with a smile and took a sip as Alec left the room. Lying there he thought about what Alec had said, “Our little princess”. Alec was getting more and more attached to the little girl by the day and he knew they were going to have to have a talk soon, chances were the baby would not remain with them and he needed to prepare the younger man for the possibility.
