Adrien sighed walking into the door of his his apartment that he shared with his bride to be. A smile on his face as the warm air greeted him making him feel content once again.
It had been a long day filled with more meetings and fake smiles than usual along side his father. So of course he'd be happy to be once again greeted by his beautiful fiance.
Sadly that wasn't the case.
Marinette didn't come to the door to greet him like she always did. Adrien assumed that she might be asleep, but then he heard some scuffling in the kitchen.
Heading through the living room he spotted Tikki and Plagg on the coffee table sharing a piece of cheesecake and watching TV together.
"Hey Tikki, Hey Plagg." He greeted.
"Hi Adrien!" Tikki said happily. "Welcome back!"
Plagg continued to eat his share of cheesecake.
"Is Marinette here?" The blonde asked his lady's kwami.
"She's in the kitchen."
Adrien headed towards the entrance leading into the kitchen to see Marinette at the stove making dinner.
He smiled and waltz on over to the unsuspecting female covering her eyes from behind and whispered. "Guess who?"
"Adrien?" She turned around in his arms. "I didn't expect you to be home so soon?"
"Soon? It feels like it's been forever." He leaned in to give her a kiss on her lips, but found her cheek instead since she had turned her head away.
A cold washed over him, but he quickly shook the feeling away and tried again, but she had walked away.
"So are you hungry?" She asked grabbing plates from the cabinet.
Adrien was confused at why Marinette was acting so strangely, but complied to having dinner.
While they ate he kept glancing at Marinette trying to figure out what could be wrong. He remember that she wasn't feeling to well recently so maybe she was just not in the best mood so he decided to let it go for today.
Days past and Marinette was still in an odd mood, she didn't speak to Adrien as much whenever he came home or greet him like she used to when he returned home. When she had went out on patrol and he wanted to tag alone she insisted that she should go by herself despite always being eager for him to join her before.
Adrien couldn't figure out if he had done something wrong to cause this sort of behavior, but after a full week of getting the cold shoulder he decided to take some action.
Marinette had decided to work late one night and was on her way home when a shadow had appeared above her and she was suddenly swooped in the arms of none other than Chat Noir.
"Ch..Chat?! What are you doing?! You're supposed to be patrolling! Put me down!!!"
Chat Noir ignored her demands as he jumped over building to building until finding a secluded place for him and the blunette.
Once he set her down she spun around facing him and glaring daggers at him. "Adri-...Chat why am I up here? I need to get home!"
"I needed to talk to you." He said simply.
"Then why can't we talk at home?"
"So you can flat out ignore me again? I don't think so, this was the only sure way I'd be able to get your full attention."
Marinette blinked and turned away from the blonde. "What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about Marinette. All this week you've barely said more the a sentence to me and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong. Did I do something to upset you? Are you mad at me?"
"No I'm not mad at you..."
"Then what is it? Tell me what's going on. Is there something you need to say?"
Marinette was silent. Tikki who had been in her bag poked her head out as she watched the blue eyed woman's expression. Marinette sighed before finally speaking.
"Yes, but....I'm not exactly sure how you'll take it."
"What do you mean?"
"We just got engaged a month ago. I don't know how you'll react. I don't know if you'll be happy, sad, or scared and I just can't handle disappointment."
Adrien was a little fearful of what she could have possibly meant, but the fear quickly subsided. He trusted his Lady and he knew that whatever it is she had a good reason for feeling this way.
Chat Noir took a few steps forward de-transforming until Adrien stood in front of Marinette.
"M'lady do you remember the day I found out that you were Ladybug?" She nodded and he continued. "I told you that I could never be disappointed by you, I love you with or without the spots, whatever it is I'm sure we can get through it, I'm always by your side no matter what."
Marinette blushed at her fiance's words. Wondering how in the heavens she managed to get THIS lucky to have this man in her life. She trusted him with all her heart, so he deserved to know the truth.
"Now tell me, what's been on your mind recentl-"
"Adrien I'm pregnant." She said suddenly.
Adrien's words came to a halt and he blinked. "You're....you're what?"
"I'm..... pregnant..." She repeated. "About two weeks actually...."
"How?" She raised an eyebrow at his question. "I mean not 'how' but like how do you know or when did you find out?"
"A little over a week ago when I wasn't feeling well. Tikki said that she sensed something, another presence growing inside to me. So I went to the doctor and even took and at home pregnancy test and everything confirmed that I was in fact pregnant." Marinette chuckled, she had to. She felt that she might break down if she didn't. "I'm....I'm sorry Adrien..."
"Sorry? Why are you sorry?" Adrien had a huge smile on his face as he embraced his lady in his arms. "This is the best thing that could possibly happen. Oh my gosh I can't believe we're actually going to have a baby!"
He held her tight and Marinette held a bit of a dumbfounded expression. "You're okay with this?"
"Of course I'm okay with this! Why wouldn't I be?" He stopped for a moment and pulled back to look at her. "Wait.....are you saying that you don't want the baby?"
"N..no! I mean Yes I do want the baby! I always wanted this to for us one day and I can't help but feel excited it's just........I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. I mean we live in such a small space and we're not even married yet. We're completely unprepared for this."
"Then we'll prepare." Adrien said confidently. "We'll have the wedding before the baby's due date and we'll find a bigger house for the three of us to live in. I believe we can do this, don't you?"
"Yes but-"
"Then we'll manage. Besides there's no better team than us right?" He said with a wink and his heart soared when he got a smile.
"Right..." She leaned against his chest and he wrapped his arms around her.
Tilting her head up their lips came together in a passionate kiss as Adrien picked up his love and spun her around in happiness.
