Alone

Chapter 6

Emma nods, "Yes, my moomy. I don't know her and I want to know."

Adrien bits his lip trying to figure out something to say, "I... I can't remember who she is..."

Emma hums, "Do you have a picture of her?"

Adrien sighs and shakes his head, "No Emma, I don't."

Emma pouts, "But I want to know, I'm suppose to know."

Adrien shakes his head once again his voice turning serious, "No, you don't, everything is fine without her."

Emma looks at Adrien with pleading eyes, "But daddy..."

Adrien puts her down, "But nothing, I'm sorry."

Emma looks down and nods, "Okay."

On their way home it was quiet. The two didn't really talk. Only Emma asked to be carried at one point but after Adrien agreed the walk home was quiet.

"Uncle Nino said he was havig a party tomorrow, can we go?" Emma asked as she was set down."

Adrien shrugged and looked down at his daughter, "If you really want to go, we can."

Emma smiles bright and claps her hands as she jumped slightly in excitement, "Yay!"

Adrien and Emma went to Adrien's room. Once the door was closed Plagg came out from his hidding place and looked at Emma.

"Emma, who was this Clarissa girl you were talking about at the park?" Plagg asked.

Emma smiled at Plagg, "She's my friend!"

Plagg nodded and sat on her shoulder, "Tell me about her."

Emma nods, "She's nice, really pretty, pretty eyes, pretty hair, she's great. The greatest girl I ever met."

Plagg looks at Adrien, "Adrien?" Adrien only hums in response. "You don't get it, huh?"

Adrien tilted his head slightly, "Get what?"

Plagg looked back at Emma, "Emma, do you... Do you like her?"

Emma blinked before she responded, "Me? What? No! Of course not!"

Adrien sighs and shakes his head, "Your bad at lying, you know?"

Emma nods and looksa at Adrien, "I know, but I don't!"

Adrien stares at his daughter for a few moments before he speaks again, "Your... Your scared." Emma only looks down and nods. Adrien sighs and kneels down infront of her, "Don't be scared, I won't be mad and I'm not dissapointed."

Emma begins to tear up, "I'm scared daddy, I don't understand why or how."

Adrien nodded and moved a hand to her cheek, "It's okay to be scared, I'll help you, because I love you, and I always will, no matter what."

Emma hugs he father tightly, "I love you too daddy, a lot."

Adrien hugs her back with a smile, "Me too." He then looks at Plagg, "How did you know?"

Plagg shrugged, "I don't know. I just had a feeling she did. If I didn't say anything she would have came out to you around 12 to 15 years old and probably would have kept her relationship a secret out of fear."

Adrien nods, "You must have some type of connection with her then."

Plagg nods, "I probably do. She might be the next Chat, usually that's how it goes."

Adrien nods and looks down at Emma, "Let's get that ice cream."

Emma smiles and nods. Adrien got up and walked out the room going to the kitchen Emma following close behind. He got some ice cream and some cheese for Plagg as well.

It was now the day Nino was having his party. At the moment no one was there but Nino, Adrien, and Emma. Adrien was telling Nino about the day before.

"So she's scared of it," Adrien finally finishes.

Nino hums and shakes his head, "She really shouldn't be scared."

Adrien nods, "I told her that but I think she's confused and that's what scares her."

Nino lays a hand on Adrien's shoulder, "Your helping her, it should be fine, and she will be fine."

Adrien smiles and nods, "I know that."

Nino smiles and looks over at Emma who was sitting at a table playing with Plagg, "It's cute how she has her first crush."

Adrien looks over at Emma and nods, "Yeah, I just don't want her to be heart broken at this age, or ever."

Nino nods and moves his hands to his front pockets, "Your her father, of course you wouldn't want that."

"I know," Adrien sighs.

Nino finishes setting up the dj he was setting up as they were talking, "Well I think it's ready."

Adrien looks at Nino and nodded, "Great, who's coming? I forgot to ask."

Nino avoided eye contact with Adrien as he spoke, "Our whole class."

Adrien gulped as he kept his eyes on Nino, "Including..?"

Nino nodded and looked at Adrien, "Yes, sorry but Alya forced me."

Adrien sighs running a hand threw his hair, "Of course she did."
