Chapter 2

"That's a funny question" Marinette answered puzzled "I'm fifteen"

Alya just stood there in shock before telling Nino to go get the doctor and tell him Mari was awake. Once Nino left she turned her attention back to her best friend.

"Hey, Mari. I've got some big news for you. You're not actually fifteen. You're 25"

Marinette looked at Alya with a shocked and confused expression "how is that even possible" Alya wasn't sure she could drop the big A bomb on her friend if she was in her teenage mindset. So she decided to keep it as simple as possible.

"Your husband and you were driving home when you got in a bad crash. He's okay, only needed some stitches, but you hit your head pretty hard" Alya explained. Marinette was in shock she couldn't believe it. Then she looked down at her left hand and saw a nice sized diamond ring and a wedding band on her left ring finger. She was definitely married. The only question was to whom. 'Please be Adrien' Marinette prayed.

"Um, Alya" Marinette asked, "who am I married too?"

As if on cue, Adrien runs through the door to Marinette's side.

"Mari thank god you're awake I was so worried" he cups her face as he talks to her then notices she turns bright red. Almost the shade of her Ladybug suit.

"What's wrong M'lady," Adrien asked with a questioned look.

Alya taps him on the shoulder and says

"She has Amnesia. She thinks she's 15"

Adrien never turns from his love and notices the shock in her eyes at the use of the nickname Chat always used for Ladybug. He hoped she didn't put things together and realize he was Chat Noir. That would be too much to handle for Marinette's 15-year-old mind.

The doctor walks in to check on Marinette's vitals and make sure there's nothing to worry about. He explains to Adrien that Marinette could get her memory back anywhere from tomorrow to never. He suggests that Marinette stays the night for observation but could leave the following day. With that, the doctor leaves. Marinette looked at her hospital band. 'Marinette Agreste' it read 'age: 25'

'Wow, I really have amnesia. I wish I could remember. I can't believe I'm married to Adrien. How lucky is that? But why did he call me M'lady? Only Chat calls me that. Does he know I'm Ladybug? It would make sense, he is my husband. But how could I tell him and not Chat? That doesn't seem fair. Does Chat know who I am? Do I know who Chat is? Are we still friends? Oh my god I'm married to Adrien!'

Marinette thought. Her face changing with each question in her mind. Adrien could tell she was confused and had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask but didn't bring herself to ask.

"I bet you have a million thoughts going through your mind Mari. Being 15 one day in love with a guy you think you'll never have. Then waking up 25 and married to said guy" Adrien chuckled. He remembered Marinette telling him about her crush on him and her insecurities when she was a teenager. She had a bad habit of putting herself down and acting as if she wasn't enough for him. He loved her with all his heart. And couldn't stand how her thoughts were consumed with lies about how she wasn't good enough. When in reality he felt he wasn't good enough for her. They had put each other on a pedestal for so long. Building each other up with the pieces they knocked down from themselves. But when they finally revealed to each other who they truly were. That's when they started being true partners. Not just in the mask but in love but in love too.
