Hello again for this week, I bet it's been a tense one. Anyway there is Nino, Alya, Harriet and Tikki in this chapter- but no real ships except Adrienette.
Question of the chapter- Favourite Miraculous Character?
My personal favourite is Chat. I know it isn't that creative but I love his puns and personality. If I was ladybug I'd be his.
On with the chapter...
So, as Adrien had become very aware of, calling an ambulance to the Agreste household was going to cause a stir. He just didn't know how much he had affected the press. It was barely a minute of the paramedics being there when crowds filled the streets, fans screamed and some even clambered onto the gates. Police were called to keep the road clear.
The father-to-be hesitantly waited near the door. He didn't wanted want to show everyone Marinette's condition. The paramedics (and the Agreste assistant) suggested they made an official press release about the pregnancy. Maybe the fans would be understanding enough to move out of the way.
Marinette was placed onto a stretcher, laying lifelessly as she was taken to the ambulance. Adrien held her hand, kissing it and rubbing her cheek lovingly. He didn't care for the people around him, they could disappear for all he cared. His thoughts were all focused on his princess laying unconscious in front of him.
Flashing lights from cameras bought his attention back to reality. The gates had been forced open, press and fans streaming in. Multiple bodyguards ran in front of the ambulance, the police joining them. As Mari was finally put into the vehicle, Adrien looked to the crowd- there was no path to get out. A policewoman was trying to use a megaphone to get them to move but it didn't seem to work.
Sighing, Adrien grabbed it," Listen here!"
"OMG Adrien spoke to me!" A red-haired fan screeched.
"Master Agreste any comments for Paris' teen weekly?" A long-noses reporter interrogated.
"Can I have a job at Agreste?"
"Who is your plus one to the next big event?"
"Gabriel any input on your son's modelling career?"
"Be my boyfriend Adrien!"
"Sign this!"
"Sign my shirt!"
"Sign my boo-"
"ENOUGH!" Adrien shouted, although his voice was already amplified by the megaphone," My beautiful girlfriend is in that ambulance- pregnant with my child! Clear a damn path! Marinette is unconscious, I just want her and our child to be okay, is that so hard to ask? A fan would move out the way, a good fan will leave and a true fan wouldn't even be here. As for reporters you know the laws- off the grounds,"
As soon as the word 'pregnant' left his mouth, the Agreste fans felt like their whole world had shattered. However, they obliged and slowly left the grounds. Many whispers of the word 'gold-digger' were said but Adrien decided to deal with them at a later date.
Once they were outside the property, and the roads were cleared, the ambulance finally departed for the hospital. Adrien was allowed to ride with them whilst anyone else had to get there on their own. Gabriel and Nathalie said they would sort out the press statements and responses, obviously not particularly bothered by Marinette's health.
An idea strange to Adrien's mind, he scrolled through his contacts and texted Marko. The girls would be on their way shortly.
"Alya!" Harriet shouted, banging loudly on the door," Open up woman! I don't care what you and Nino are up two but so help me god I will break down this door,"
The wooden entryway opened slowly, revealing a dressed and pressed Alya. She had the look on her face she wore when she knew what you were about to say before you even said it. Nino appeared behind her, disheveled and barely awake.
"Harriet I'm a reporter- what do you take me for?" Alya smiled," Come in let's get to hospital,"
Nino placed a hand on Harriet's shoulder," She's been waiting for you for twenty minutes,"
"why didn't she go to the hospital?" Harriet asked.
The man shrugged," Guess she wanted to know if it actually was true,"
As the three headed into the lobby, it seemed Alya had ran. Outside, the woman was in the car- honking the horn and waiting for the other two. Sighing, the couple ran into the vehicle. When they were all seated and on their way, Harriet informed the husband and wife that Tikki would meet them there.
It was evident that Alya's reckless driving could get across Paris quicker than any other driver could. They were parked and in the hospital waiting room faster than any of them had expected. However, there wasn't always a downside to being the fastest driver.
"What do you mean she isn't here?" Alya growled, glaring into the eyes of the trembling receptionist.
"We.. Well ma'm Miss Dupain-Cheng has not entered the hospital or been checked in recently. There are no new updates on the system," The receptionist stammered, trying to avoid Alya's terrifying glare.
"Alya leave the poor receptionist alone," Nino begged, pulling his wife away," She'll be here soon and then they will tell us,"
Through gritted teeth, Alya grumbled," Fine,"
The three of them sat down, Harriet was already there ingrossed in an app on her phone. Time seemed to pass slowly as no new reports of Marinette came in. Getting bored, Harry decided to head to the vending machine.
Her attention turned to a ravenette being pulled through the room on a stretcher. Harriet said a polite hello to Adrien which he waved to her in return, not bothering to ask how she got there so quickly.
Harriet ran back to the waiting room," I found Marinette! She went down that hallway and now I have no idea where she is,"
"Well what are you waiting for?" Tikki said coming in through the entrance," Let's get running,"
The four of them did just that.
Sorry you won't find out Marinette's condition until next week. I just wanted to show them getting there and the news spreading to the fans. Maybe at the start of next chapter will be when Mari wakes up.
Question of the chapter, how do you think the Agreste fans will react to the news?
Anyway, see you next week!
