Holding her close, his grin softened to loving adoration. He felt her happiness through the bond until he felt like he was floating.
"We're pregnant." It was probably silly to keep repeating it, but each time he said made it more real to him. "We're going to have kittens." He loved Lex and Mal as if he had raised them in this life, but to have another chance at something that was impossible.
Which meant that they couldn't take risks like they normally could. Frowning slightly, he gently cupped her cheek, eyes shadowed with worry as he remembered what Magna had told him of his first death. It could have just as easily been Magnus who had died instead of Alec.
"I'll let you help, Magna, but... Will you stay out of the battles?" He couldn't demand that she stay behind. That would hurt her and might make her more determined to help than she already was. "I don't want to risk losing you and our kitten. Especially now."
It probably wasn't fair to ask her that after she'd lost him a century ago, but it was more than just Magna's life that was now at risk. Hopefully, she'd agree without becoming angry with him.
"I want these memories, Magnus. I want us to be a family... all of us together." Unconsciously, his hand drifted to her stomach as he gave her a shy smile. "Another miracle that we didn't think we'd have."
