In Love With My Psychiatrist

Darling Family

Five Years Later

Marinette stuffed the grocery bags in her car trunk, sighing heavily

She pulled away from the supermarket, driving back home

Just then, her phone began ringing

Marinette: Hello?

Alya: Hey, Marinette!

Marinette: Oh! Hey, Alya! How are the kids doing?

Alya: They're doing well. They're playing with Nico & Elaine.

Marinette: That's good. Thanks for babysitting them.

Alya: It's no problem, girl! Besides, Emma loves hanging out with me!

Emma took the phone, giggling a lot

Emma: Hi, mommy!

She smiled, hearing her daughter's upbeat tone

Marinette: Hi, sweetie. Are you having fun with Alya?

Emma: Yeah! She's so fun!

Hugo: Hey! Is that mom? I wanna talk to her!

Her & Hugo began fighting over the phone

Emma: No fair! I had it first, Hugo!

Hugo: Well, I want it!

Alya: Well, I'm the owner, so I'll be taking it back.

Alya took her phone from the kids, who whined sadly

Alya: So, anyways, is Adrien coming back today from his business trip?

Marinette: Yeah. He should be arriving back tonight.

Alya: Oh, thank god.

Marinette: And don't worry, Alya. I'm going to pay you for babysitting Emma, Hugo, and Louis.

Alya: Thanks, girl. I hope to see you when you get back.

Marinette: Okay.

Marinette hung up the phone, driving slow but steady

She arrived back at the house, parking in the driveway

She entered inside & shut the door behind

Emma peeked from the corner

Emma: Mommy!

Marinette smiled & lifted her daughter in her arms

Marinette: Hi honey, did you have fun with Alya?

Emma: Yeah! She's so funny!

Alya came downstairs, with Hugo & Louis by her side

Alya: Hey, you're back!

Marinette: Yep. Are you okay? Your hair is messy.

Alya: Well, after all that playing, I feel exhausted.

She laughed a bit

Marinette: I see why. They get me tired too. Why don't you & I hang out tonight?

Alya: Sure, but who will watch the kids?

Marinette: I'll call Socqueline & see if she wants to babysit. Besides, we have so much to catch up on.
