so... this sparked from seeing all the Miraculous Ladybug games for girls where Ladybug/Marinette is pregnant. in one game the baby had a mask in the womb. of course Chat Noir/Adrien is the father... but, it's still an interesting concept if they still don't know who each other is under the masks... thus this was "Born".

this has no connection to any of my other Miraculous stories.

hope ya'll enjoy!

Ch, 7. Catty Blonde

Chloe and Lila's laughter could be heard from all directions. Marinette held her large belly as she quickly walked. She stopped to catch her breath. Chloe and Lila came out of the shadows only to laugh in her face.

"I can't believe Adri-kins is dating such a pathetic slut!" Chloe pointed at Marinette.

"Should have kept your legs closed, Loser-bug!" Lila giggled.

"Leave me alone!" Marinette walked past them both and began to tear up.

She soon came up behind Adrien. He turned around and gave her a scowl as Chat Noir landed next to him. Both of them crossed their arms.

"We've been talking." Adrien began.

"Neither of us want you anymore." Chat scowled as well.

"I'm breaking up with you." Adrien spat.

"And I don't want to be your partner anymore." Chat spat as well.

"Goodbye Forever!" Both boys turned their backs to her.

"No! Wait!" Marinette cried out as both boys disappeared.

"No!" Marinette woke up with a jolt causing Adrien to jump and almost fall out of her bed.

She gasped as she noticed him hanging on for dear life. "Oh My Gosh! Adrien!"

He gave her a small smile. "I'm ok." He swayed his lower end so he wouldn't land on her desk below. He then let himself fall. He was soon back up the ladder and sitting next to her. "You ok love? Did you have a nightmare?"

She nodded as she rubbed her almost about to pop belly.

He grabbed her hand, gave it a kiss and looked her in the eyes. "Wanna talk about it?"

She shook her head this time and looked away.

He sighed. "Marinette!" He kissed her hand again. "I'm here for you! If something is bothering you, you can tell me about it." He then let go of her hand, placed his hand under her chin and raised her face so they could look each other in the eyes. "You're not alone." He gave her a soft, sweet, and warm kiss to the lips. He rested his forehead on hers as he pulled her into a soft embrace.

She rested her eyes on his shoulder and let the tears she was holding back flow. "I don't deserve you."

He smiled sweetly and rubbed her back as he kissed her hair. "That's not how I see things."

The morning sun shone as Adrien combed his hair. He then looked up at his bundled up girlfriend who was still in bed.

He chuckled and shook his head. "We're gonna be late for school."

"I'm not going!" The bunch of blankets moved. "I'm eight and a half months pregnant, didn't sleep well last night, and if I see Chloe and or Lila I will probably punch them in their faces."

He shrugged. "I'll check on you at lunch then. Text me if you need me."

"Thanks." She rolled over to lay on her side. Her belly rested on a pillow he got her so she could sleep on her side.

He climbed up the ladder, knelt down, and kissed her forehead. "See you at lunch, Love."

She gave him a weak smile as he began to climb down the ladder and leave the room. When he was gone, she sighed and closed her eyes.

"Is Marinette awake yet?" Mrs. Dupain-Cheng noticed Adrien coming down the stairs alone. "And would you like some breakfast son?"

He shrugged and sat down at the island. "She's not going to school today. She didn't sleep well last night. She had a nightmare, but she wouldn't talk to me about it. And I think the twins kicked the rest of the night." He chuckled a little. "I also apparently snore."

She giggled a little too. "You can't be as bad as Tom." She handed him a plate of food.

"Thanks." He smiled bright.

"Speaking of my husband; I should go check on him. Have a good day at school." she waved as she began to walk to the door.

"I'm coming back at lunch to check on Mari." He waved back.

"Alright then, see you later son." She was out the door and on her way to the bakery below.

Adrien had finished his breakfast, snuck Plagg some cheese he found in the fridge (he could live with cream cheese till lunch when he could stop by the store and pick up some camembert), and was on his way to school.

He got to the courtyard and was greeted by Nino.

"Hey bro!" Nino gave his best friend a fist bump. He then looked around. "Where's Mari?"

Adrien shrugged. "Staying home today."

Nino nodded and smiled. "Dude, can you believe in less than a month you're gonna be a dad?"

Adrien chuckled. "I know right." He and Marinette told people he was the father just to save face (even though it was true) because once everybody found out there was a sea of questions. The biggest was "Who's the father?" "If you told my 13-year-old self I'd have a girlfriend and she's pregnant with my children before my 19th birthday, I would have said you're crazy and wouldn't have believed you." He chuckled again.

Nino shrugged. "Do you regret it?"

Adrien smiled. "Not at all." He chuckled once more. "Actually, I'm happy and thrilled at the same time."

Nino smiled. "That's good, but babies are hard work. And you two have two on the way." Adrien's smile faded. "Mari still wants to give them up doesn't she?"

Adrien nodded.

Nino crossed his arms. "That stinks."

Adrien nodded again. "I want the twins to have the life I didn't. I want them to always feel loved. They might not get adopted together. I don't want them to get separated. I'll raise them alone if I have to. But…"

Nino nodded. "It would be easier with Mari. I hear you bro. But you won't be alone, you have uncle Nino!"

Adrien game him a small smile. "Thanks." He gave him a fist bump. "They say it takes a village."

Chloe stormed over to the pair. She put on a fake smile and hugged Adrien's arm. "Adri-kins! Did you finally ditch that tramp who's only using you for your money?"

Adrien blinked. "What? Chloe get off!" He scowled. "Marinette is not a tramp nor is she after my money!"

Chloe did as she was told and crossed her arms. "Then why is she carrying your babies?"

Adrien smiled and shrugged. "We had sex." It was the truth. And he was proud of that fact.

He and Marinette had lots of sex. He quickly learned that pregnant women, while having weird food cravings, also crave sex. However it's only in the first two trimesters, the third trimester had been sex-less. And, honestly, he didn't mind. He read they could still do it, but he didn't want her to be in pain or uncomfortable. That, and he was shocked that he got laid at all. That night on the Eiffel Tower was burned into his brain. He really needed to tell her he was Chat. He didn't care if he'd never have sex ever again, but it was still unfair that he knew her secret and she didn't know his. He tried to tell her, but he must have always picked the wrong time, or it was his rotten luck, but right when he'd try to tell her they would get interrupted.

But, here they were, Paris's secret protectors were about to be parents.

Her parents even threw a baby shower for them and all of Paris seemed to show up. Even though she didn't want it and tried to get him to take everything back and refund their friends, he kept everything just in case and refunded everyone out of his own pocket. He wanted them to be a family. He wanted to prove to her he loved her with or without the mask and they could raise the twins together.

Chloe fumed. "Why?"

Adrien sighed and shook his head. "Chloe, how many times do I have to tell you I'm not into you? I was never into you, and I will never be into you. You and I used to be friends. But, you and I are no longer friends. You're mean, cruel, and material. And I've always known that. It's time we part ways. After graduation, I hope our paths never cross again. I'm sorry Chloe, but that's just how I feel." He crossed his arms.

Chloe gasped. "That pregnant slut! She put those ideas in your head!" She scowled. "She's brain-washed you!"

Nino gasped as Adrien growled. How dare she say that about his Lady?!

His body seemed to go on auto pilot as his hand raised and struck her across the face.

"Oh Snap!" Nino covered his mouth as Chloe gently rubbed her red check.

She looked up at him in confusion and hurt. "Adri-kins?" she whimpered.

"Stop calling me that!" Adrien almost yelled.

Genuine tears welled up in her eyes as she ran away.

Adrien took a deep breath.

Nino was still in shock. "Bro! What just happened? I've never seen you that angry."

Adrien just shrugged. "I guess I'm just tired… tired of Chloe." He sighed and stood up straight. "I guess you learn who your real friends are when you're having a baby." He gave him a weak smile.

Nino patted his shoulder. "Ones you make on your own without your father's help… speaking of your pops… where does he stand on the whole being a grandpa thing?"

Adrien shrugged. "I'm not sure. He's been very cryptic about it. One minute I'm getting a lecture about waiting until marriage, and then the next he's helping me pick out rocking chairs and blankets. Honestly, I think he's mad at me for getting Mari pregnant, but wants to be a grandpa." He sighed and shrugged again. "I'm so confused half the time."

"Adrien Agreste, come to the principal's office at once!" A woman's voice sounded over the load speaker.

Adrien shrugged. "I guess we know where Chloe ran to." He waved at his best friend as he began to walk away.

"Right behind you bro!" Nino fell instep behind him.

The boys reached their destination in no time and found Chloe sitting in front on the principal, still shaken.

Adrien sat down in the other chair as the principal raised an eyebrow.

"Adrien, care to explain why Miss Bourgeois says you hit her?" the principal leaned over his desk and folded his hands under his chin.

Adrien shrugged. "It was a slap, she deserved it, I'm not sorry, and I'll take whatever punishment you're going to give me sir." He crossed his leg over his lap.

The principal blinked.

Nino stepped in. "Chloe provoked Adrien Sir. She called his girlfriend a pregnant slut."

Chloe sobbed. "It's true. Are we even sure the twins are yours?"

Adrien rolled his eyes. "Get a DNA test after they're born." He looked back at the principal. "Now, what are we looking at? How much detention am I getting?"

The principal cleared his throat. "Since this is your first offence, other than tardiness and absences, a day of detention… tomorrow." He then looked back at Chloe. "Now Miss Bourgeois, calling another female student such things is strictly forbidden. I'm sure your Father would agree that your behaver is unacceptable. Since this is your fifth strike this month, one week suspension."

Nino and Adrien's jaws dropped.

"What?!" Chloe's tears were dry as she stood up. "Why am I getting suspended? I'm the victim here!"

The principal seemed to roll his eyes, but didn't. "Now Miss Bourgeois, you were the instigator. Sure, Adrien had no right to strike you, but if you hadn't called his girlfriend such things then he wouldn't have gotten so mad." He then reached over to grab the phone on his desk. "I'm calling your father now to inform him of your suspension. I suggest to get your assignments for the week and run along home." He began to dial. The other end picked up and spoke. "Yes, may I speak with the mayor please? It's about his daughter."

Adrien and Nino took the cue to leave and headed off to class.

Chloe sat still as she listened to conversation. She couldn't believe her ears. She was suspended! She was suspended because Marinette Dupain-Cheng seduced into her bed and got knocked up with HER Adri-kins' twins! No, this wasn't right! Something had to be done.

Once the phone clicked when the principal hung up she stood up and walked out the room. Something had to be done… she had to do something!

Marinette waddled down the stairs and grumbled that she couldn't see her feet under her breath. She was ready for the twins to get out of her already! She sighed, half a month to go. She could make it… right?

Her mother smiled and gave her daughter a hug when she reached the bottom of the stairs. "Hey sleepy head, are you hungry?"

Marinette giggled. "Always."

A knock sounded at the door.

"I'll get it." Marinette waddled to open it.

On the other side was Chloe with tear stained cheeks and ruined mascara. Marinette didn't notice the knife the blonde was clutching onto.

"Chloe?" Marinette raised a concerned eyebrow. "What's the matter… and why did you come here? You hate me."

"I do hate you!" Chloe sniffled. "You took everything away from me!" She wiped her tears away with her free hand. She then looked at Marinette square in the eye and glared into her soul. "I'm here to take back what is rightfully mine!"

Marinette was confused beyond reason. "What in the world are you talking about?" Light reflected on the knife and caught her eye. She gashed and backed away. She wasn't Ladybug at the moment. She was Marinette! She couldn't just kick her and take the knife away, even if she could. Such actions would revel herself as her alter ego.

Chloe raised the knife.

Marinette covered her stomach with her arms in hopes that the twins would be protected if she did.

The blade never came.

Marinette looked up and saw her mother holding Chloe's shaking arm; keeping it in mid air.

"Call the police!" Her mother instructed with a face her daughter had never seen her make before. It was cross between stern, angry, hurt, and sad.

Marinette then quickly waddled over to the house phone and dialed the police. "Hello? Police?" She affirmed. She then began to tell the dispatcher her address and reason for calling.

She hadn't noticed, but the floor next to the door had a shallow pool of liquid that had been expelled from her body. A harsh pain caused her to scream.

The dispatcher asked if she was alright as she noticed the fluid.

"I think my water just broke!" Marinette gasped for air.
