Summary: Emma gets a surprise. But even with the surprise, she'll always be Plagg's favorite, right?

"...And that's how Ladybug and Chat Noir saved Paris once again!" Marinette said. Emma giggled. Mommy was telling her a bedtime story, one of Emma's favorites. The villain in it was called Bubbler, a name three-year-old Emma couldn't quite pronounce. She loved listening to it though. Mommy always knew the best stories about superheroes. "Time for bed!" Mommy smiled, tucking the covers in better around Emma.

"Nighty-night, Mama." Emma murmured.

"Hey, Em!" Daddy stood in the doorway. He walked over and pecked her on the forehead. "See you tomorrow!"

Emma giggled. "Bye, Dad."

Both Marinette and Adrien kissed her goodnight, and Adrien turned off her light. Emma yawned as she fell asleep

Time skip to the next morning

Something brushed against Emma's shoulder. She turned away from it, wanting to sleep. But she eventually opened her eyes to see Mama smiling down at her.

"Wake up, silly goose! Mommy and Daddy want to tell you about something special," Marinette said. Emma sat up and shot out of bed. She jumped up and down in her Ladybug pajamas.

"Tell me!"

Daddy walked into the room and put an arm around Mommy's shoulder.

"You're getting a baby brother!"

Emma's smiling face fell.

"A what?"

"A little brother to play with and take care of!" Mommy said.

"Oh."

The family walked downstairs together.

"Emma, play in the living room for a bit while we make breakfast and look at stuff for the baby." Mommy and Daddy said together. Emma let out a sigh before plunking down and picking up a doll. She could hear Tikki softly giggling in the kitchen.

Would the fairies still fawn over her when there was someone else around? Babies were pretty cute. Jasmine Lahiffe at day care had a baby sister named Elodie. Wayzz and Zorro were always tending to Elodie, not Jasmine. Babies sure took up a lot of time.

Emma felt something nudge against her hand and looked down to see Plagg rubbing against it. Before the cat could fly away Emma grabbed him in a chokehold and Plagg gagged.

"I'm your favorite, right Plagg?" asked Emma. "Even with the baby?"

Plagg phased out of Emma's grip before answering.

"Sure, kid. Of course."

Aww, Emma… Hope you enjoyed! ~Lark
