AN/Hey you guys. I'm sorry for being late. I had exams in school. Pressure & stuff. I couldn't find time to write. But I'm finally here. So yeah. Also, I'm over the moon because of the reviews. Thank you for reading and commenting. Love you. Enjoy reading!

... "YOUR WHAT!?" he exclaimed

-"My- other- child Adrien."

-"y-you have two!?"

-"I have two."

He just stared at her. She had 2 kids. She was just telling him that she had given up on her dreams because of a baby. Plus, she's a single mom, and looks exhausted. He thought Emma was a lot of pressure on her. But obviously, Marinette has a lot of more hidden truths. Then again, if Emma's dad does not know about her, is it possible that Marinette repeated her mistake twice?! He couldn't just ask her directly beside her daughter. So he gave her a questioning look, hoping she'd get his request.

And thankfully she did, by saying, "they're twins Adrien." And smiling.

Then he was somehow relieved. "Oh, okay. Wow Marinette, twins…" he said while nodding trying to get it all in.

How does she manage? Marinette was one hell of a woman.

"So where is louis?" he asked her.

"I was just texting Alya" she answered, "He spends most of his time with tommy. "Her son is very shy and...Well… not like Alya at all. He doesn't have a lot of friends, that's why they spend mostly all of the afternoon together. Louis and tommy get along very well, they're just like Alya and I."

"Oh that's really great. Uhm can I meet your son too?" He really wanted to see Marinette's son. As much as he wanted to meet Emma. She seemed very happy with it too, that's why he asked.

She told him that she would love him to. They had to go to her apartment, since Alya was dropping off Louis there. They talked on the way, and he started to play and get to know Emma more. He loved Emma, she was super cute and funny. He'd love to spend more time with her. He couldn't wait to get to know her son too.

They arrived to their destination. Marinette lived in a nice building, not very far from her parent's bakery. Her house wasn't very large, but it was okay for her and her kids only. The apartment felt warm and cozy, children's toys were found in random places. It was obviously decorated by her, some walls were clearly drawn by her, and some others had her kids' palms in various shapes and paint colors.

He liked how Marinette made a good out of everything. She would do the unexpected, surprise everyone with her creativity. She would bend the straight lines everyone sees. Marinette was just talented and original. And the better thing was that she was teaching her kids how to set their imagination free, and how to be unique just like her.

The moment he entered her house, he admired everything there. The way she was able to turn her apartment to a place where her kids would love to call home, warmed his heart up. She was a true mom. He wished he had a place like this to spend his childhood in, not a huge, cold mansion. He wished the mom of his children would be a real mom like Marinette.

"So this is our apartment." He heard her say. "Make yourself at home, I'm going to go for a minute and I'll be right back. Come on Emma." She took her daughter's hand and headed to a room where he assumed it was Emma's.

He sat there thinking about how hard life was for his ex-classmate.

When she came back. Her hair wasn't in a messy but, the makeup was removed from her face, and she wasn't wearing her black blazer, her pencil skirt, or heels. He saw the Marinette he once knew. She was still pretty cute, her hair was down, her bare skin wasn't very clear but it was still beautiful, she wore a pink shirt, and a sweatpants.

Then he immediately realized that he was staring at her, "sorry, i- i almost forgot how u looked like without the formal wear?" he gave her an apologetic look.

She laughed. "it's okay, I'm sorry for the mess though. I wasn't expecting anyone, and they mess the house pretty fast."

"Don't worry, I know" he looked at Emma who was playing with some puppets, then looked back at Marinette and asked." So how did you manage?"

She took a deep breath and threw her head on the back of the couch.

"So, Alya and my parents, helped me big time. They still do. As I told you, I studied education. I was in university while being pregnant. I was supported by teachers, classmates and everyone else. I worked very hard, I finished my 4 years in 2 years, and I finished another in the following two years. It wasn't very tough, but I had to put a lot of work and time to it. I wanted to make sure that my kids would have everything they wished for in the future."

She finished then gave out an unhappy half smile while looking at her daughter. "I was scared, and unsure of what to do at first though. I felt like my whole life shattered in front of me, and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I felt like I'm a bad person, that's why I kept it a secret from nearly everyone." Then she started to tear up.

Marinette hasn't had a conversation like this in a long time. She was always vague and secretive about what happened. But for some reason, she opened up to him instantly. Talking about the past, how she considered abortion, or suicide, made her feel horrible again, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Adrien directly pulled her into a hug and told her "it's okay, don't cry Nette"

He honestly didn't know what to do. That was his best option. It was obvious that she didn't like to open up a lot about her live. But his curiosity was just getting in the way. He wanted to know more.

She pulled away, wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry, I'm overdramatic hehe."

"Psh. no you're not. You're actually very strong, Mari." he corrected her.

"Uhm... Thanks" she smiled. "So, where was I? Ah, yes, so I graduated and started teaching. The first 2 years for Louis and Emma, I stayed at my parent's for help. Now were here. The kids go to school when I'm working and we return home together."

"That's amazing Marinette. I'm really happy you managed to raise your kids alone. It's nothing easy, you're indeed a supermom. I, myself, wouldn't handle what you did. Woman, you should be awarded, you're amazing Marinette." he exclaimed.

"Thank you very much, Adrien" she blushed.

He saw it.

She decided to change the subject.

"So, are you hungry?"

"Yea actually I a-""DING-DONG

"Ohh, that should be Alya and Louis" she said.

Emma who was very distracted by her toys, left them, and rushed towards the door and opened it.

"Emma what did I tell you about opening the door without my permission?" her mom yelled and walked near her.

"Sorry mommy, but I know its louis." The child apologized.

Adrien heard a fast footsteps, saw Marinette lifting up a kid. "Mommyyy, I miss you." Louis said as he buried his face into his mother's neck.

"I miss you too little one, and I have a surprise for you today." she said as she poked her son's nose.

The ex-model heard the door closes after saying goodbye to Alya, who said she was in a hurry because of something about tommy sleeping in the car.

He got up, and went to the hallway, to meet Louis.
