How it All Began

Fate is a funny thing sometimes, it can shift the world you thought you knew and present an entirely different option; One you'd never have thought you'd have. It was, of course, always your choice whether or not you wanted to follow the path it opened, the extra path on your road of life. Fate was always ready with another option, always ready for change. But even the smallest deviations from the original path could change a life forever.

That was the case for Sabine Dupain-Cheng, wife to a baker with a brand new business, a new home, and ready to welcome a new life to the world; And Rosa Bourgeois, wife to an on-the-rise politician, the child growing within her destined for wealth and success. Two very different women, with very different lives, but they both had one thing in common.

A lonely pregnancy.

Their husbands were both busy with work, and although they tried to help out however they could, Sabine with the mixing and the housework, and Rosa with paperwork and organizing, the men in their lives didn't want to take chances this far into their pregnancy. So they were on their own most of the time, their friends and family far away from their new homes. And so, on one insignificant day in Paris, both of them decided that maybe it was time for some fresh air.

A choice that would change everything.

Because, you see, Sabine grew hungry a few blocks into her walk—something not uncommon these days, honestly- and across the street, not too far from her, was a food cart. Rosa, who was mid step, caught the scent of the food and instantly grew hungry. The urge too strong to resist.

That's how the two women found themselves waiting in line for a quick treat, a single tourist separating them.

And then fate intervened again.

The tourist became impatient while waiting, and forced himself forward, forcing Sabine to stumble as he passed her. Fear rushed through her as she began to tumble, terrified for her child. However, Rosa reacted quickly, moving forward to steady the woman, concern coloring her face. Her eyebrows quickly furrowed as she met the gaze of the tourist, spewing out insults and curses that were not welcome in polite company.

It was at this same time that Sabine opened her eyes, finding a very pregnant belly staring back at her. She was put back to rights then, the tourist forced away by the salesman. The ladies ordered their food, Rosa's hand still steady on Sabine's arm.

Perhaps it was fate, or simply motherly worry that prompted the two women to sit together as they ate. Small talk about their pregnancies and their lives evolving easily into funny stories, complaints of over protective husbands, and talks of the future.

Maybe it was simply the joy of finding someone else in the same situation as them, new in a city and pregnant. Whatever it was, whether it be fate or chance, the two found themselves exchanging numbers, promising to meet up again as soon as they could.

Weeks passed, and the two found themselves meeting nearly everyday, to chat or to shop, or simply to plan for their upcoming births. There was always so much to plan for, after all. Their husbands were ecstatic about the friendship, having felt guilty about being so busy. Tom would bring up snacks for the ladies when they spent their day at Sabine's home, and André would surprise them with lunches when they spent it at the Bourgeois residence. They began to spend their free time creating small designs for their children, painting dressers or making little knickknacks for their walls. This went on for quite a while, until Rosa got a call from an old friend, one who'd recently moved to Paris with her husband, another lonely woman looking for companionship.

Immediately, Rosa brought the subject up to her now close friend, asking if she could bring her along to their next meet up. Sabine agreed, laughing as she explained it would be nice for the woman to see just how much of a watermelon she would soon become.

And that was how Celeste Agreste, long time friends with Rosa Bourgeois, joined the women, creating yet another change in fate's original path.

Of course, things were different now that they had both a politician's wife and a known supermodel together. They'd stopped meeting at Sabine's unless it was necessary, but no amount of change of where they met hindered their friendship. Gabriel warmly welcomed them into the home, proudly speaking of his family and his growing career. He made them each their very own outfits, ones that were used in photos to show their deep friendship and their pregnancies. Vowing that he'd work on a proper maternity line when time permitted it.

The three of them became the closest friends they'd ever had, promising to be with each other during birth, to raise their children together. They wanted their children to bond and care as much about each other as they did for one another.

And that was how it all began, how three people who would have otherwise never met, became entwined in each others lives. That was how they completely changed their children's paths, for better or for worse.

A/N: Thank you for reading, and welcome to this series! This is going to be kind of a series or prompts and one shots based around this new universe, though there will still be superpowers and it still follows the base plot! However things will be different, for multiple reasons. If there's something you'd like to see for kid Adrien, Marinette, and Chloe send it my way, I'd love to expand this some! For those of you waiting on an update for painting revolution, it WILL come, I just have some major writer's block for it.
