-MARINETTE-

Marinette slowly opened her eyes. Sweat beaded at her hairline. She slowly sat up.

She felt something. She could feel a movement in her belly.

It was painful.

Adrien could sense her movement, and touched her arm.

"Is everything okay?" He asked sleepily.

It wasn't even sunrise yet, and Marinette slept in his bed waiting for his father to get home. She was already pushed into her third trimester, and she was showing.

Marinette sighed.

"Y-yeah. He's in my ribs." She breathed. She clenched on to the sheets.

Adrien Sat up, and rubbed her back.

"It hurts." She groaned as she ran her hand down her sides.

Adrien slowly took her into his arms.

"You're strong, Marinette." He whispered.

Marinette whimpered at the pain she was feeling.

"Take it easy..." She whispered to their baby as she placed a hand on her belly.

Marinette leaned against Adrien, who cradled her until she feel asleep again.

-The next day-

Marinette sat on a park bench. It had been sometime since she's been in school. Her body had been aching since the baby had started moving.

She was now almost in her eighth month.

Marinette looked up at Alya who looked down at her with folded arms.

Adrien sat beside Marinette, the two sitting a great distance from each other.

Adrien woke up with Marinette which was just as often, so nonetheless they were both incredibly tired with a lack of sleep lately.

Alya looked at the two with a sigh.

"You both look like a mess..." She sighed thoughtfully.

Marinette rubbed her eyes. She could tell a few strands of hair were out of place, and the bags under her eyes had become more noticeable as the nights went on.

Adrien cracked open his water bottle and took a sip.

"The baby, keeps jamming into my ribs." Marinette sighed, her hands on her belly.

"We haven't slept in days." Adrien chimed in.

Alya rubbed her temples and breathed out.

"Look, you guys are having a baby. You have no idea how this baby will be. It's rare you'll get a quiet one that won't drive you crazy. You have to get used to this, because you probably won't be getting sleep for awhile." Alya explained.

Marinette inwardly groaned, scolding herself.

"I'm not second guessing it. I'm prepared for whatever happens." Adrien said adamantly.

He was pretty insistent on keeping the child, even if Marinette wasn't still in it.

Marinette looked up at him, her eyes almost etched with sadness. She looked away.

She had been feeling a little hurt. Lately she felt like he was suffering with her, and that made her miserable.

She was aware that he had other things to do, other than being with her, that built up major responsibility on him.

Adrien kept his gaze down at his feet as he unscrewed the cap from his water bottle and started drinking.

Alya glared at the two.

"Have you guys even decided a name yet?" Alya asked.

Marinette gulped, and Adrien choked on his water.

Alya and Marinette looked at Adrien as he coughed, attempting to regain himself.

"Is it too early to start thinking about it?" Adrien coughed.

"Rather you guys are running late." Alya disagreed. "She's due in two months, and your son still doesn't have a name."

Marinette shuddered and looked at Adrien who looked back at her.

She felt under immense pressure and she inwardly panicked. She needed to think of something quick.

-Time skip-

-ADRIEN-

Adrien held Marinette's hand. He noticed her slight limp, and he pulled her closer.

Lately it looked like the life had been drained out of her. It made him feel awful

He knew Alya was right. The baby was due soon, and they hadn't even come up with a name.

He hasn't even told his father yet.

Adrien started to feel more and more angry and sad.

Marinette leaned closer to Adrien.

"I can't stay over tonight. My parents kinda miss me. I'm barely ever home. I'm always at your house." Marinette sighed, she shuddered as she began to yawn.

Adrien chuckled as he nodded.

"Let's... Discuss something first at my home. Maybe my father is home, and we can finally introduce you." Adrien said. Deep down he felt nervous. He knew how harsh his father could be, but at the same time he even doubted his father would be home.

They could have used this valuable time to discuss what they would name their child.

Adrien laced his fingers with hers, as he softly kissed the back of her hand.

He watched as his ride slowly pulled over.

Like a gentleman, he opened the door for Marinette, allowing her to slip inside before he did.

When the car ride was over, Marinette needed some help getting out of the car.

Adrien kept his hand on her back as he carefully led her to his room.

Marinette groaned as she sat on his bed.

She slipped off her shoes and lay back.

Adrien closed his bedroom door and looked up at her with a small smile.

He slowly approached his bed and climbed over her.

Marinette looked up at Adrien, and blinked.

She breathed in softly as he leaned down and kissed her.

Her eyes closed along with his as their lips slowly melted to one another, but held their own.

The kiss remained firm and passionate. His hands brushed against her cheeks as he took the risk and deepened the kiss.

Marinette hummed softly, her hands rubbing his chest softly before she carefully pushed him.

Adrien opened his eyes slowly as his lips pulled away from hers.

Marinette sat up, backing Adrien off of her slightly.

"We have important things to discuss..." She whispered with a small smile.

Adrien looked at her with a grimace and twisted so that he sat beside her.

"I'm guessing you want to figure out a name for our son." He stated softly.

Marinette blushed, and rubbed her cheeks.

"Y-yeah... I want this baby to have a name before he's born... And that could happen anytime in the next two months." Marinette explained, her hands propping herself up as she leaned back.

Marinette pursed her lips, as Adrien crossed his legs and folded his arms.

"How about Hugo?" Marinette suggested.

Adrien gave her a strange look, remaining quiet before he spoke.

"No." He said, shaking his head quickly.

Marinette sighed and then looked around the room, as she thought again.

"How about Adrien, after you?" She suggested once more.

Adrien shook his head.

"Wheres the originality in that?" He asked, rubbing his chin.

Marinette grunted in frustration.

"So then that's a no on Gabriel?" She asked.

Adrien snickered, his shoulders shaking with slight laughter, as he shook his head.

"No, no, no,no." He breathed.

Marinette folded her arms, her brows furrowing.

"It's not funny. You keep shooting down all my ideas." Marinette pouted.

Adrien opened his mouth to speak, but was cut short by the sharp knock at the door.

Marinette looked at Adrien briefly before looking at the door.

"It's open." Adrien spoke softly, watching as the door opened slowly.

Nathalie slowly appeared, her face serious as it had always been.

"Nathalie?" Adrien mused, his stomach dropping some.

"Adrien, Mr. Agreste would like to see you." She said sharply.

Marinette looked at Adrien.

"Y-you're father is here." Marinette said, her eyes widening a bit.

Adrien could feel his palms sweat almost immediately.

His stomach dropped as his nerves started to overwork themselves.

His father was a scary person. There was no denying that.

Adrien carefully slid off the bed.

Marinette stood up behind him.

"Should I go with you?" She asked curiously.

Adrien turned around and grabbed her shoulders.

"Maybe you should stay here..." He said thoughtfully.

Marinette looked at him with a grimace.

"Tell you what, rethink over the names again, pick one you absolutely like, and when I come back you tell me." Adrien said softly, and kissed her head.

Marinette looked at Adrien as he released her and walked out the room with Nathalie.

She sighed as she sat on the bed, rubbing her belly.

Adrien walked beside Nathalie, his heart in his throat as she led him down the narrow hall.

He clenched his fists as he kept his gaze ahead. The office door to where his father worked in, was wide open.

Nathalie paused, just outside the door.

Adrien swallowed hard and nodded at Nathalie before he stepped inside his father's office.

He closed the door behind him and looked up.

His father's desk seemed to be empty, but his father looked out the window on the other side of the room.

He remained quiet, his arms tucked carefully behind his back.

Adrien waited patiently.

He didn't move, he simply remained quiet.

After what felt like centuries, his fathers voice broke the silence.

"I heard a nasty rumor, Adrien..." He said so calmly that it was almost menacing.

Adrien pressed his lips together.

"What rumors, father?" He asked nervously.

Gabriel slowly turned around, his eyes almost unreadable. It made Adrien nervous.

"That you're having a baby out of wedlock. If that's any worse, but a bakers daughter." He spoke sharply.

Adrien flinched lightly.

"Her name is, Marinette..." Adrien said almost timidly.

Gabriel looked at Adrien, anger flashing into his eyes.

"So the rumors are true..." He sighed.

Adrien nervously nodded, only confirming.

Gabriel slowly stood by his desk.

"What were you thinking, Adrien?" He spoke, looking at Adrien.

Adrien kept his gaze away from his father as he spoke.

"I don't know..."

Gabriel remained quiet.

Adrien stood awkwardly by the door, his eyes still kept away from his father.

"Is it too late to get rid of it?" He asked, looking up at Adrien.

Adrien clenched his fists.

"It? Father, she's due in two months." He retorted.

Gabriel glared at Adrien.

"Does your name mean nothing to you?" He asked, his voice laced heavily with anger.

Adrien furrowed his brow.

"My name? Father, this child will have our name. It was a mistake, and I knew you wouldn't be thrilled when you found out, but I'm willing to take care of him." Adrien argued.

Gabriel clenched his teeth.

"You're not taking care of anything. Have you no care of your future? If you stick with this thing and that pathetic bakers girl your future will be ruined. You're already doing so well for yourself, Adrien. Don't ruin everything that I gave to you"

Adrien bit his lip as he breathed.

"Father... This is my future-"

"THE HELL ITS NOT!" Gabriel scolded, cutting Adrien off, and causing him to flinch.

"Now you're going to listen to me..." Gabriel breathed.

"You're going to get that thing, and that girl out of here as soon as possible. I'm much too busy to deal with this as you should be. You are never to speak to any of them again. Even after that thing is born." Gabriel stated firmly.

Adrien's eyes widened, his entire body suddenly ridden with shock.

"F-father!" Adrien retorted in complete shock.

"This conversation is over..." He stated as he sat down at his desk.

Adrien glared at his father in disbelief. He clenched his teeth and turned around.

He could feel anger and sadness boil In his blood as he headed for the door.

Breathing out, he pulled open the door, his eyes widening the moment he saw Marinette, standing helplessly on the other side. Her eyes looked into his instantly, tears pooling on the outer edges.

"M-Marinette." He breathed. Adrien looked back at his father briefly before he stepped out into the hallway and closed the door.

Marinette took a few steps back, her lip quivering.

"I...I liked Louis..." She spoke, her voice quivering.

She wiped her face, before she turned around abruptly.

He could sense the anger emanating from her.

She heard everything.

"Marinette, please wait..." He begged, just as she stormed off.

Marinette ignored him, she continued to walk towards the front doors that led to the outside.

"Don't listen to him." He breathed as he caught up with her.

He grabbed her arm and turned her around.

Marinette remained completely obtuse.

She kept her gaze away from him.

"Please...don't leave. I'm sorry my father said those things about you. He's completely unreasonable sometimes" Adrien explained almost begging, his breathing heavy.

Marinette looked at him.

"He called our son an it... I could care less of what he said about me." She replied.

Adrien looked at her. He knew that what his father said about her hurt, despite her saying otherwise.

"Come on, let me give you a ride home." Adrien spoke, his arms starting to wrap around her attempting to hug her.

Marinette shoved him, as she squirmed.

"JUST LET ME GO!" Marinette scolded, her voice echoing throughout the halls.

Adrien immediately recoiled. His eyes widened as Marinette wiped her cheeks and turned around once more, heading towards the door.

Adrien bit his lip. He couldn't help himself, he went after her again.

"Marinette, please... Just let me-"

"Just leave me alone!" Marinette cut him off.

She breathed heavily and pulled open the door, walking out of his home.

She didn't hesitant to slam the door behind her.

Adrien breathed heavily, as he stood in the middle of the hallway. He continued to stare at the door.

He couldn't wrap his around what had just happened.

Were they over? Or just fighting?
