"Come back..too me"

CHRISTINA PACED back and forth outside the infirmary door,  filled with worry and so many other emotions. It was like she was trapped in a maze with no way out but through that door. Everyone was worried about her emotional state with the baby, they didn't know what to say they were feeling worried for Alec. But not the way she was; that was the father of her unborn child, the love of her life dying in that room.

"Christina...honey please sit down." Diana, her mother, spoke with a concerned look in her eye.

Diana walked over to Chris getting hold of her hand taking it in confort. She pulled her over to a seat next to Izzy. Chris had been crying so much she had a river of mascara and tears stained on her pink cheeks. She couldn't help but think about what she would do if she had to be a single mother, yea...it was a terrible thing to think about but you never know. She tried to push those thoughts away by thinking of all her and Alec's good moments.

Brother Enoch had finally exited the room Alec was in, closing the door behind. Chris jumped up and walked towards him but was met halfway. Soon everyone who was seated was standing surrounding Brother Enoch hoping for good news not to want to live and that reality with Alec. Chris looked at him, her eyes red with tears. "So...?" Maryse quested with a crack in her voice.

"He's alive, he needs to heal he lost a lot of blood...Christina you saved him if you would have gotten there any later he would have bleed out."

Hearing he was alive was all she needed to hear, she could imagine her life with Alec in it. He came to her life at a time where she felt lost and broken, he helped her find herself again he put all her pieces back together. Gave her something she couldn't have found anywhere else. "Can I see him?" Chris questioned wide eyed.

Brother Enoch nodded, removing himself from her way, Christina walked past him towards the door leading out of her maze of worry and hopelessness. To Alec lying in a small infirmary bed, he was pale and looked weak. It painted her to see him like this, she tried to cover her mouth to stop from crying and rushed to his side.

"Come back..c-com please " Chris trembled out as another river began to flow, as she held his hand.
"I need you to come back.."She paused looking down at her belly. "we need you..."Chris said, holding her head down beside his bed. She felt movement in his hand, the tears that we're once falling were being swiped away by a warm touch. That became to be known as Alec's hand against her roast cheeks.

"Hey.." he said weakly with a small smile."Hey." She responded with a relief in her eyes and a fant smile.

"It's okay.." he said seeing all the worry in her eyes. "I'm okay, I'm here..right here." He told her squeezing her hand a little tight as she leaned into his chest.

Saying Christina was grateful for this moment would be an understatement. Christina had fallen in love with Alec the moment she met him,something she wouldn't have admitted 2 years ago. Mainly because she thought love at first sight was cliché, love wasn't some Cinderella fairytale but something more real and authentic. Love wasn't just ups and no downs, high and no low, or perfect. But something that has its high and lows, has its imperfections, its challenges, its pain and sadness. It's just what you make it and epic feeling and creation, what Chris thought.

"Marry me!"

"What?" Chris questioned at the shocking remark.

"Marry me." Alec stated again with a smile. I was planning on asking you tonight, I have the ring in my jacket. He said motioning to his black leather jacket pocket. "You were?" Chris asks, as tears form once again but not pain filled ones like before. She walks over to the chair on the opposite side of the room that his jacket was held on, bring it to him.

He reaches into the pocket and pulls out a small red box, once opened reveals a beautiful ring with a green emerald stone in the center.

"It's beautiful.."Chris states looking at the ring then back up at Alec.

"I know as shadowhunters hunter rings aren't traditional like the wedded union but I wanted you to have something to wear that is valuable to us."

"Yes..yes without a second thought." Chris said with a brighter than bright smile.

Alec slid the ring on Christina's ring finger. I felt right. All of it did.

Alec had been up walking around since his attack 2 weeks ago but was told by the silent brother to take it easy. But to Alec that meant being up on his feet managing an institute. Christina stayed in New York to make sure he was actually doing good, she was officially due any day now.

Magnus had finished the nursery and now Izzy and him were busy planning the wedding already.
Alec and Christina hadn't seen it yet but were told countless time they were going to love it beyond words.

"I'm excited.." Christina states walking towards the finished nursery blindfolded,being lead by magnus. And Alec was being led by Izzy. They stepped inside still blind.

"Okay, biscuits go ahea and see this masterpiece for yourselves." Magnus stated eagerly. They both pulled down there blindfolds in awe at the sight before them.

"Oh my angle.."Chris stated, as she read the sighn that was above the baby crib;

"Yo-you..." she started looking at Alec. Read it. Alec stated wrapping his arms around her. "Iris Christopher Lightwood."
Christina wanted Alec to pick there daughter middle name since she chose iris,but had no clause what he was choosing he told her she would see when mags finished the nursery.

"Alec-you didn't hav.."she started but was cut off by Alec. "I wanted too, I know how much you wish he was here. And on top of all of that I love you." He rebutted.

"I love you too Alec Gideon Lightwood." She said with a big smile, that shortly faded in a matter of seconds.

Catching Alec, Izzy and Magnums attention right away. "What's wrong?" Alec questions.

"My water just broke." Chris stated looking down at the puddle of water that was now on the floor.
