-MARINETTE-

Marinette sat on the edge of her bed.

Her eyes wide, and her legs shaking.

This couldn't be happening. How could she be so careless and stupid.

She held the pregnancy test in her palm, her hand shaking as she read the result plastered on the front.

Positive

She pressed her lips together as she threw it on the floor in frustration. Three other tests lay on the floor all reading the same thing.

It could have been defective, but she couldn't go to the hospital and check for herself.

She stood up, and wrapped her arms around herself as she began to pace.

She bit her lip as she gathered up the tests and threw each of them into the trash.

She could feel the tears sting in her eyes.

How could this happen?

This couldn't be happening. There's no way.

She shuddered at all the memories of her intimacy with Chat Noir. She didn't really focus on the two times he had released within her.

She rubbed her temples.

This was excruciating. She didn't even know anything about Chat Noir.

She wanted to know his identity, but at the same time she didn't. How would she even tell him? How would she tell Alya?

Her parents? How could she do that to them. Her life felt like it was shaken.

How could she tell anyone?

She didn't think too much about how much that would affect her role as ladybug, but what would everyone think of her now.

She pressed her lips together and sealed in her cries.

Adrien definitely wouldn't want her now. She was a teenager, and she was now pregnant.

How could she be so stupid?

Tikki looked at Marinette.

"Marinette... You have to tell your parents... They can help you." She assured.

Marinette shook her head as she began to pace nervously.

"No, I can't... I can't do that to them." She breathed.

"This was a terrible mistake." She added as her pace began to grow a little faster.

"Your parents can help." She assured, she carefully floated up to Marinette's ear and nuzzled her.

"It will be okay, Marinette." Tikki said softly.

"Your parents will help you."

Marinette shook her head.

"No... I'm not telling anyone. I can't do this to everyone." She sighed.

"Not even Chat...it would be best that he's not involved." She spoke softly.

Tikki looked at her with a grimace.

"But... Marinette... He's the father... Shouldn't he know?" She asked.

Marinette looked at Tikki.

"No... I'll just... Get rid of it when its born." She sniffled. She wiped her tears that already began streaming down her face.

She loved Adrien... She liked Chat too, but she loved Adrien more.

She couldn't do this anymore with Chat. It was not fair to either of them.

"Marinette...are you sure about this?" Tikki asked, her eyes widened.

Marinette stopped pacing and sat down on the bed.

"Y-yes... No one has to know about this... It'll just be me and you Tikki." She sighed.

Marinette closed her eyes as the wheels in her head turned.

Everything made sense. She understood why her akumatized assailant didn't finish her off.

She heard the baby's heartbeat.

She had an entirely new problem to deal with aside from hiding her pregnancy.

She knew her enemy was aware of her being pregnant, and now has to protect her unborn child.

-ADRIEN-

Adrien had just finished homework. He had been taking numerous showers since the incident with Marinette. She was a sweet girl, and even at times he thought she was adorable.

She was a bit strange, but quite interesting sometimes.

He wasn't aware why she acted the way she did, but the vomit incident really did throw him off.

It literally made him sick.

He couldn't wipe the smell off, despite how many times he showered.

He felt bad for her. She must have been incredibly ill.

Plagg sat on Adrien's bed and munched on his cheese, watching Adrien as if he were some movie to be entertained by.

Adrien pulled a new shirt over his head. Once he had it on, he smoothed out his hair and looked at Plagg.

"Do I smell?" He asked Plagg.

Plagg hummed as he took another gulp of his cheese.

"Its all in your head Adrien." He sighed, his face turning into that of a dreaminess.

"All I can smell is Swiss Gruyère." He hummed as he smothered himself in the cheese.

Adrien rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Adrien looked at his watch.

"Its almost time to meet up with ladybug soon. Are you full enough to transform me?" Adrien asked impatiently.

Plagg looked at Adrien with one eye and simply turned around.

Adrien couldn't help but to feel as giddy as he did. Things were going well with ladybug, and for awhile he was incredibly happy.

At that moment he didn't even worry so much about his father, he had ladybug.

It was all that mattered to him, it was all that made him happy.

"Plagg, hurry. I don't want to be late." He said thoughtfully.

-Chat Noir-

Chat waited on top of the Bourgeois hotel.

It was almost sunset and ladybug seemed to have been running late.

He looked at the time on his stick, before retracting it and putting it away.

"Anything yet?" A voice asked from way behind him.

Chat turned to look at his lady.

Something about her seemed different. He couldn't tell what it was, but she seemed troubled.

"No... Nothing yet... I still haven't figured out what the plan is yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be bad." Chat spoke, walking closer to ladybug who seemed to tense at his words.

She wrapped her arms around herself and kept her gaze away from him.

Chat assumed she was just as stressed as he was.

He slowly touched her shoulder.

"It will be okay..." He said softly.

Ladybug sighed and slowly shrugged out of his grip.

Chat allowed his hands to drop to his side.

"Is everything okay?" He asked her curiously. It was always when things got better, something always messed things up. He wasn't sure if it was the stress of the akuma or anything else.

"I'm fine..." Ladybug said, her voice starting to become a bit more serious.

"There's no sign of Chloé. We'll need to start our own search." Ladybug said thoughtfully.

"The mayor is counting on us." She spoke.

Chat nodded.

"I'll take the call on this one... You get home and get your thoughts together." He said, looking at her.

Ladybug looked at Chat, her lip trembled slightly before she stepped away.

He could tell she initially wanted to protest, but something was withholding her from doing so.

She nodded before turning her back.

"I'll be up tomorrow morning to cover... That way you can rest some tonight." She spoke and leaped before Chat could even protest.

He sighed as he watched. her leap effortlessly from building to building.

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

The whole thing happening felt like it was putting a strain on the both of them lately.

He wondered if their nightly patrols and lack of sleep made her uneasy.

She seemed troubled and that bothered him more than usual.

He was worried. He couldn't lose her again. He was worried that she'd pull away again. He was willing to do anything to prevent that. And so, he gave her the space she needed and made sure not to pressure her.

Sighing, he turned to face the sunset. Even though they'd had each other about twice, she still seemed closed to him.

Hopefully, she'd open up to him.

He wanted to know who she was, and he had hoped that would come sooner.

A/N : Two updates in one day?! What's happening here... I'm actually excited. :3 my mind is spawning tons of ideas. I'm actually considering a sequel. Plus I have no cable so... THERE'S TIME NOW.
