So... Marinette was pregnant! Finally! They've been waiting for it for too long, honestly. But it's happening. The little Emma is on her way! And yeah... they already named her. They started to make plans on how are they going to tell their family, their friends... and so, while they do some sightseeing in London, they kept talking about the amazing news.
Everyone next to them could see how excited they were. Honestly, they radiated happiness.
The thing is that, the time went by, they came back to Paris and the first thing they did was visiting the doctor. And luckily, everything was in order! The baby was safe, and so did the mother. Everything was alright.
"I know how to tell my parents!" Marinette screamed. "We'll invite them tonight and... Look!" She opened a box with two pijamas. One for her dad, and another for her mom. One said "best grandma" and the other one "best grandpa". Marinette herself designed them. "What do you think??"
"I like it!" Adrien grinned. "I'll text them. Oh, uh... did you tell Alya?"
"Oh... No, no. I have to tease her a little bit first. I already know how." She laughed maliciously.
So by the time her parents came, everything was prepared and settled. The little box gifts in their bedroom, the dinner done, and all the kwamis In the miracle box. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Adrien opened the door.
"Hello Sabine, Tom, please come in!" He hugged both of his father and mother in law and they made their way to the dinningroom.
"Mom! Dad!" Marinette jumped into their arms so happy and impatient to give them the surprise!.
"Paris in summer is really beautiful. It never stops to amaze me. You two, how's been the trip to London?" Her mom asked after they say at the table and Adrien was preparing the dishes.
"It's been the best trip of my life." She sighed and Mari's parents looked at her with lovely eyes. They were so happy to see her daughter, their little princess and fighter, become such a beautiful women, working hard to reach every single goal.
"Who's hungry! Because I am" Adrien placed the plates so they could start eating.
"Honey... you're different." Her mom noticed. Nothing can be hidden from moms. "You have... a different smile. Like... some kind of glow up."
"Maybe... haha... why do you ask?" She answered nervously.
"Oh. For nothing. Nothing."
After that, they started talking about London, the places they visited, and about the bakery and how Marinette needs it for some reason. Faster than they expected, they finished eating. So slyly Adrien lead them to the living room. They had no idea about what was coming.
"So. Mom, Dad. I... prepared a speech that I wrote in a napkin but I forgot where I put it. So I'm gonna try to say it by heart. Umm... You've been the best parents a girl could ever have. You taught me to help the others, to be kind, to be pacient, hard worker, fighter, happy... I don't have words to describe everything you showed me. But above all, you taught me love. And I love you. I'm so grateful for all you've done for me. I love you so much..." She started sobbing, but trying hard to not cry. " Okay, I'm not gonna cry yet. I made you something." She handed them the two boxes.
"Oh... Marinette, you didn't have to. We love you too, sweetie. And we can't be happier to see you on your own, being such a strong and beautiful woman. And Adrien, stop being so shy and come here. You know we love you too, almost as much as we love Marinette. You are our son too. And a very important part of our family. And the best gift you could have ever done to us, was making our daughter the happy woman she is."
Adrien was about to cry. What a tender feeling he felt.
"Open the box already!" Marinette exclaimed.
They did as she said. And soon, they were looking at some pijamas with some letter embroidered on them.
"Look! This is what I was saying. You've made this?? You're so talented. Wait..." her mom looked closer to the letters and started reading. "Best grandma" her eyes opened tempting against anatomy. WHAT?
"grandpa... HUH?????"
"MARINETTE. YOU ARE PREGNANT???"
She gave some little jumps and nodded.
"OH MY GOD... oh my god... I... I'm so happy for you!" Her mom started crying just as much as Marinette did in the first time and hugged her carefully. Just in case she would broke.
"I'm going to have a grandson!"
"It's a girl." She corrected him.
"How do you know?"
"OH MM INTERESTING QUESTION. Hmm... I just know, okay?"
Tom hugged them too. While Adrien was staring at the edge of the tears. How bad he wanted to have his parents with him and share this exciting adventure...
"Adrien, son, come here." Tom gave him his hand to add him to the hug. So his thoughts went away when he felt the warm of what a true family is. Marinette's parents always loved him, and they were so supportive. Never said anything wrong about him, and he felt like home with them. So it was so special for him to be included.
"And how are you feeling, honey?" Her mom caressed her cheeks.
"I'm good. A little bit sick sometimes, but Adrien is with me all the time. Well he always is, but now even more" She giggled.
"What can I do? I'm pretty excited, Mari. I want to capture every moment!"
"It's time to have another baker in our bakery!" Tom affirmed.
Everyone burst in laughs and the ambient filled with so much love and excitement. You don't always receive this kind of news!
"So... I need the bakery. I'm gonna tell Alya. But not without teasing her first."
.....
A week later her plan was settled and Marinette had everything prepared for Alya.
"Are you sure this is gonna work?" Adrien whispered.
"Of course! It's going to be hilarious. You'll see." She placed a kiss on his cheek and right after, Alya opened the bakery door.
"Hey girl! Long time no see huh we've been busy, you know, with the twins and all that, but I made a miracle, so Nino can stay with them while I come here to help my BFF. Hello Adrien, as handsome as always."
"Well, Alya, this is a nightmare. We have so much work that we don't know where to start!" He acted.
"But you don't work at the bakery."
"Yeah, we know, BUT this is a special order that my parents can't do and is extremely urgent." Marinette nodded really convinced.
"Okay, so... what can I do?"
Marinette then explained her how to make the bakery dough, but little did she know for what.
"Okay, so I just do what you told me. Right?" Alya asked concerned.
"Exactly. just do it. We'll do the rest."
And while Alya was doing her assigned job, Marinette and Adrien started baking.
"Eh... Marinette? What is that?"
"Oh? Oooh, this is part of the order. You know, the customer is having a baby. So we are baking baby croissants, baby maccarons, baby baguettes, baby cookies..."
Alya was looking at them suspiciously but she has no idea what was going on. She only kept watching how they baked everything ten times smaller. Tons and tons of mini sweets.
"Mari... I finished the dough... but Humm... don't you think that... the bread is too tiny?"
"Nahh, is alright. It's perfect for a baby. And the dough is perfect Alya, thank you! Perfect for a little human. I'm going to use It now. I'll be right back." And then she disappeared leaving Adrien and Alya alone.
"Psss, Adrien, is Marinette alright? She has baby fever or something?"
"Hum? Yeah, she's alright. why?"
"Are you sure? What have you done to my friend?"
"You should be more specific because I do a lot of things." He winked with a smirk and Alya punched him in the shoulder.
"Not that kind Agreste! Is she sick or something?"
"Oh, she is going through a lot right now... and... I think it's my fault." He teased faking a sob.
"What? What happened?? Did you two fight?"
"Oh, Alya, is way bigger than that..."
"Wait... IS THERE A NEW VILLAIN?? IS THAT SO?? well you know I can take back my miraculous..."
"No, no, is nothing like that, Alya. It is just between Mari and I. And... everything is about to change..."
Alya was concerned, intrigued, and very very lost. She frowned.
"Are you two going to divorce?"
Adrien almost choked with the little cookie he was eating.
"WHAT? no, no, Of course not!"
"THEN WHAT IS IT???"
"IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!" He shouted while he disappeared from the bakery to go upstairs after Marinette.
"Kid, don't you think you exaggerated??" Plagg asked.
"Nahh, she'll be fine. Bugaboo, I'm here. You can go down now. She is utterly lost." He laughed.
"Good job, Kitty! This is way funnier than I thought." She kissed him and went down stairs with Alya, faking a tear and crying.
"Alya!!!!"
"What's going on girl?? I know something's up. You can tell me. I've always been here."
"Well... it's way too much, you know?? I've never felt like this."
"Does it has something to do with Adrien?" Alya hugged her.
"Well you should be more specific because Adrien does a lot of things."
"UGHHH YOU TWO ARE INCREDIBLE. THATS NOT WHAT I MEAN. You know what? I give up." She turned back annoyed.
"No, no, I understand. It's too much for you Alya. I get it. Guess we'll have to Keep baking."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH TOO MUCH??? Girl I'm confused. You told me you were Ladybug and I kept the secret perfectly. You know I can handle whatever. But if you don't wanna tell me it's okay. I'm done baking."
"Okay. I'll tell you. It has something to do with Bread, baking, and ovens."
Marinette laughed because she couldn't keep it anymore.
"Baking? HHHH are you going to leave fashion?"
"Keep trying. It's also related to Adrien."
"You are going to run the bakery?"
"There are another little thing added."
"OOOHHH I GET IT NOW. YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE THE MIRACLE BOX IN THE TEMPLE AND THEN YOU ARE GOING TO OPEN YOUR OWN BAKERY?"
Seriously? Is that all what a journalist can do?
"The answer is upstairs. Search for it." Adrien appeared in scene.
"YOUU... ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY. This better not me a prank"
She went upstairs frowning with her arms crossed. Every kind of possibility crossed her mind But she had no clue about what was actually going on.
She knocked the door And Sabine opened it, greeting her and letting her in. Then Alya started to search until she saw the oven.
Still lost and concerned, she opened it to see there was just a little bun in the oven.
"What? There's just a bun in the... oven..." at that exact moment she realized it. "OH MY FREAKING GOD. NO WAY. A BUN IN THE OVEN, BAKING, BABY THINGS. OF COURSE!!!!! IS MARINETTE PREGNANT??" She yelled incredibly freaked out. She put her hands in her head with a big smile and running downstairs.
"MARIIIIIIII" She hugged her tightly. "OMG OMG THIS IS AMAZING. I WAS ABOUT TO KILL YOU BUT EVERYTHING I WANT TO DO NOW IS HUG YOU. IM SO HAPPY!"
Adrien and Marinette bursted in laugh.
It was so much fun teasing her up to that point. And her reaction was priceless.
"CONGRATS ADRIEN" She hugged him too. No mystery she liked babies a lot.
"Hold on, so that means, Ladybug is pregnant and Cat noir is the father. CAN I WRITE IT ON THE BLOG?"
"No." Both said in unison.
"Whyyyyyyyy??"
"I had enough with the wedding thing. We were trending topic for weeks, and everyone wanted an interview. I don't have energy for that again." Marinette said.
"Oh, come on, LADYBUG AND CAT NOIR GET MARRIED. Was the best article I've ever written. Imagine "LADYBUG AND CAT NOIR EXPECT A BABY".
"No" Both said with the same voice.
"Okay, I get it. I'm still so happy for you!!! But I'll take my revenge!"
