-ADRIEN-

Adrien sighed as he touched the end call button on the screen of his phone.

He carefully tossed his phone aside and gazed out the window.

He had his legs folded, against the bed, his arms folded in deep thought.

It had been two days, and Marinette had ignored his calls, and hadn't responded to his texts.

He was getting more irritated and sad. He had missed her, the last thing he saw was her crying. The last words she said to him were to leave her alone.

The words buzzed around in his head, nearly driving him to the brink of insanity.

This was the second time she left him with sharp words that killed him.

Plagg sat beside Adrien, his posture almost the same.

"It looks like your father blew it for you." Plagg said flatly.

Adrien sighed, his brow furrowed in irritation as he looked away.

He wasn't up for going to school that morning, but anything was better than sitting at home and being alone with his thoughts.

He carefully slipped out of bed, and began putting on his shoes.

Plagg watched Adrien as he started getting ready for school.

"What are the chances of her being at school?" Plagg asked curiously.

Adrien looked at the kwami and shrugged.

"Probably incredibly slim. She barely goes to school as is since her first trimester." Adrien spoke thoughtfully.

"Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get Alya to talk to her." He sighed, as he slipped on his school bag.

Plagg tilted his head to the side.

Adrien grabbed Plagg, and tucked him under his shirt.

Adrien climbed down the stairs.

His father stood in the lobby of the hall, talking with Nathalie silently.

Nathalie looked over at Adrien.

"Adrien." Gabriel started to speak.

"I have to go, I'm running late." Adrien said flatly, leaving the mansion at full speed.

He couldn't look at his father. He was too furious with what he had done.

He couldn't blame Marinette for being upset the way she was. Maybe it could have been the pregnancy that made her act irrational as well. He couldn't tell.

Adrien slipped into the car that waited outside for him and remained quiet the entire ride.

He was beginning to grow impressed with Plagg's recent patience. It made him appreciate the kwami a little bit more.

When the car pulled up to the front of the school, Adrien could feel his stomach drop.

Piles of people were waiting out front, waiting to get inside.

Adrien slipped out of the car and spotted Nino by the steps. Adrien usually would have approached him, and waited with him. However, he was feeling down, and would much rather have been alone. He stuffed his hands into his pockets, as he continued to wait, right beside the car.

As if on cue, the doors opened and they started to pour inside the building.

The class wasn't as big as it was last year.

He slowly followed suit. From the corner of his eye, he could see a few people whispering.

Alya brushed passed two of them, and Adrien immediately averted his gaze. His eyes widened as Marinette walked behind her. Despite her wearing a large sweater, her belly still significantly showed through.

Her demeanor explained that she was embarrassed.

He knew many people were staring at her, some even whispering in shock.

At that moment, there was no one else in the room.

It was just her and him.

Adrien clenched his fists and immediately started to storm up to her.

Her eyes briefly connected with his.

Upon seeing him marching straight towards her, she immediately began to change direction.

"Marinette, wait. Please..." He said, pushing passed Alya, and grabbing her hand.

Marinette yanked her hand away, pushing through students and finally stepping outside of the building.

Adrien followed suit. He ignored the scoffs of disapproval of his pushing, as he had grown almost intolerant to it.

"Marinette... Wait." He breathed as he too stepped out of the building.

He grabbed her hand.

Marinette paused and looked at him.

"What do you want, Adrien?" She asked, her voice almost cracking.

Adrien looked at her.

"Marinette, I'm sorry. My father could really be careless. But don't punish me for this." Adrien spoke firmly.

Marinette continued to glare at him.

"Punish you? Are you joking?" Marinette retorted.

"Adrien, its over..." She breathed out.

Adrien shook his head.

"No, don't say that... It's not over."

Marinette shifted her weight, pulling her hand away from his.

"Yes, it is. Both me and the baby won't be in the way to ruin your future." Marinette scoffed.

Adrien sucked his teeth.

"You and this baby are my future. You're my family now."

Marinette shook her head and she pulled away, as Adrien tried to hold her once more.

"How? How can we be a family? Your father doesn't even approve of me, not even your own son." Marinette argued.

Adrien clenched his teeth.

"I don't care, what he does and doesn't approve of." Adrien replied sharply.

Marinette breathed out sharply, and walked away from him.

She climbed down the stairs of the school

Adrien followed suit.

"Marinette, you can't take my son away from me." He spoke, his voice etched with hurt.

"Who ever said I was?" Marinette sighed. "I won't go back on my word. I'm keeping Louis." She looked up at him.

"Marinette... Please... Just think this over." Adrien pleaded.

"Dont do this to me again" Adrien begged.

Marinette looked at Adrien, and then let her hand slip from his.

"I'm sorry, Adrien. It's over..." She breathed.

"Goodbye." She whispered before she brushed passed him.

Adrien just watched her briefly as she left. He continued to be locked in his place, not moving an inch.

The rest of the day seemed to go one without him.

Adrien couldn't pay attention in class, he couldn't bring himself to talk to Alya.

This was a breakup, and it was killing him a lot more than he had expected.

When the last bell rang for the day, Adrien dragged himself home.

He felt like he was in a trance, and for the first time he allowed himself to cry.

Adrien sat on his bed and did like so.

Gripping, the pillows he cried into them.

Plagg sat beside him, not uttering a word, but simply staring.

Adrien lifted his head and wiped his face.

He had skipped out on breakfast, lunch, and now dinner. He was too upset to eat anything.

Adrien turned to his back, and stared at the ceiling.

He could smell food being prepared, but it only made his stomach hurt.

Plagg slowly floated above his head.

"Are you done moping, Adrien?' Plagg asked.

Adrien rolled his eyes. The sky had started to darken, and Adrien could spot a few fireflies outside of his window and he sighed.

"You don't know anything, Plagg." Adrien sighed.

Plagg rolled his eyes.

"I know you've been laying here for hours!" Plagg growled.

"Just go to her. Stop sitting here and crying." Plagg continued with annoyance.

Adrien wiped his face once more and looked at Plagg.

"You're right..."

-MARINETTE-

Marinette slipped on a jacket. She was feeling a bit chilly, despite it being quite warm out.

Marinette looked at Tikki would seemed just as upset as she was.

"Marinette, you don't think you were being too hard on him?" She asked. "Your relationship was short lived."

Marinette shrugged, as she struggled to open the window just above her bed that led to the outside balcony.

"Maybe it's the lack of sleep. Or the hormones..." Marinette pondered to herself.

She considered Tikki to be right, but it still didn't soothe the pain inflicted to her by his father.

She worried that his father would disown him, Marinette didn't want him to throw his life way because of her.

It simply brought her back to why she kept the pregnancy secret In the first place.

She grunted as she pulled herself up. She rubbed her upper arms as she shivered.

Tikki sat on her shoulder as Marinette leaned against the rails. She smiled sheepishly as she breathed in. The warm breeze brushed against her. It was relaxing her some.

Marinette relaxed her muscles as she counted the fireflies, attempting to take her mind off of things.

She sensed that it probably would have started raining soon, but she wanted to enjoy the night air before heading to bed.

"There you are." A voice said softly.

Marinette and Tikki both yelped and jumped, as Chat Noir slowly climbed into the rails from the other side of the building.

Marinette scowled at Chat.

"What are you doing here?" She whispered sharply.

Chat looked at her.

"I couldn't just let you be." He breathed.

"I really need you to rethink this..." Chat continued.

Marinette sighed and shook her head.

"Quit being persistent." She replied. "What your father said was right... Even if it hurt" Marinette explained.

Chat shook his head and carefully lowered himself on the pavement.

"It couldn't be farther from the truth." He assured.

"You're throwing away your future for us, Chat. This isn't fair to you." Marinette argued.

Chat shook his head, slowly approaching Marinette.

"We made this baby together. We are supposed to be in this together." Chat replied.

Marinette sighed.

"We should take a break, Chat..." She said softly.

"I just need time to think, and let everything in. I just want to be alone." Marinette explained.

Chat simply looked at her.

There was no getting through to her.

She was serious.

Chat shook his head.

"Marinette..." His voice trailed off.

Marinette slowly approached him. With a grimace she wrapped her arms around him tightly.

Chat hesitated, he wrapped his arms around her. They embraced each other tightly before she pulled away from him.

"A-are you sure about this?" He asked, his heart aching In his chest.

Marinette nodded, her lips pressing together. She withheld the tears that threatened to ebb.

Chat looked at her, his eyes etched with hurt.

"A-as long as you're happy..." His voice trailed off.

Marinette nodded.

"You should get going. I'm tired and need sleep..." She said softly.

Chat blinked slowly and nodded.

"I...guess I'll see you around."

Marinette nodded.

She blinked back tears as he carefully leaped off the rails.

She watched as he sprinted away from her building.

Tikki looked at Marinette with a grimace.

"Marinette...are you really happy about this?" Tikki asked.

Marinette shook her head.

"Of course not..." She breathed, her baby slowly shifting in her belly.

"I just need to think..." Marinette said softly as she slowly climbed back down towards her bed.

-CHAT NOIR-

Chat extended his stick. His heart felt heavy. He was in immense pain. At that moment he had no one. He felt as if he lost everything all in two days.

There was no one there for him. He was alone.

Instead of sprinting home, he traveled straight towards the Eiffel tower.

He could feel the tears sting in his eyes as he shook.

He carefully landed in front of the Eiffel tower. The lights began to flicker.

He could feel a few of the rain drops fall against his skin.

This couldn't be happening to him. It was a little overwhelming.

Almost staggering, he toppled over his own feet and fell straight towards his knees.

He continued to stay this way underneath the tower.

He cried silently, his fists clenching.

"Need any help?" A familiar sharp voice spoke softly.

Chat immediately looked up, his eyes widening.

"Smoke girl?" He asked, immediately scrambling away from her.

The assailant chuckled and crossed her arms.

Chat carefully staggered to his feet, his fists clenched and ready for a fight.

She looked at him, her smile suddenly soft.

"I've been waiting to crack you alone." She said thoughtfully. "I'm sensing something is...stressing you." She said with a sultry voice.

Chat breathed heavily, as she started to step closer to her.

"W-What do you want?" Chat breathed, stepping away as she started to get closer.

She grinned, there was something new about her. Something evolved somehow, it was drawing him to her. Was this the plan she had this whole time.

"I want you." She said softly, her voice almost sarcastic.

Before long Chat was pressed against one of the bases of the tower.

His body shook.

"What are you doing?" He asked, his voice shaking.

The girl simply smiled. She touched his face softly, and before he could comprehend what was going on, her lips touched his.

At that very moment, Chat felt as if he had stepped out of his own body.

He inwardly screamed at himself, as his body reacted almost instantly. He started to kiss back.

She ran his hands across his cheeks as Chat closed his eyes, kissing her back almost fiercely.

Why was he doing this? He would never do this? Especially not after what happened with Marinette.

She slowly pulled away from the kiss. Chat remained still, completely dazed at what just happened.

The girl grinned as she kept her hands hung loosely around his neck.

She breathed in softly, as a black mass started to form at their feet.

Chat immediately snapped out of it as the ground from beneath his feet began to pull apart. He pushed the girl away.

"W-what's...happening?" Chat asked, panicking.

He gasped as he fell into a sink hole.

With a grunt he fell harshly against the ground within the sinkhole.

He looked up, as the scenery above him slowly began to dissipate.

He looked around frantically.

An underground cave?

Under the Eiffel tower? This was new.

He could see embers layered across the ground, almost illuminating a dim light to make out a few items.

Everything else, he spotted through his night vision.

The assailant stood in front of him. She leaned down, her hand touching the back of his head.

"Stay with me... I know you're hurting... I can sense it." She whispered.

Chat looked up at the girl, his brow furrowing at the broch he noticed that seemed to almost implant into her skin.

Could that be what he thought it was?

Chat swallowed hard and carefully stood up, his body shaking as he backed away.

Taking a few steps back, he stepped on something soft.

He whipped his head around as he heard a whimper.

There, on the ground was Chloé. Her body frail, and almost emaciated. Her clothes were dirty, and she looked as if she needed food and water as soon as possible.

Chloé shook violently, as she lay on the ground.

Chat's eyes widened.

Chloé was here the entire time.

The assailant sighed her arms folding.

Chat looked back at her and swallowed hard.

He needed to get out as soon as possible.
