Epilogue:

"I don't want to go to school!" Romeo whined. "I want to stay here with you, Papa and Hugo and the new baby!" Romeo wrapped his arms around Marinette's large stomach. It had been four years since Marinette moved in with Romeo and Adrien, and after their first date it only took six months for Adrien to propose. He wanted to spend his life with his best friend and partner in crime-fighting. He admitted to Marinette once that he would have proposed to her after that first date, if he could have, but he didn't want to come off as pushy. The two of them were engaged for a year, letting Gabriel plan most of the wedding, as he insisted on doing, before getting married in a large ceremony that many of the world's top fashion icons attended.

Gabriel quickly discovered that Marinette was a talented designer and took her on as his apprentice, deciding that she would inherit as much of the company as Adrien did. Adrien would run the business side, and Marinette would run the fashion side. Everyone was happy with that arrangement. Gabriel let Marinette implement her line of clothes for people with disabilities, which brought the company a lot of good press. The family was happy.

When Marinette found out she was pregnant the first time she told Romeo to tell Adrien that he was going to be a big brother and filmed the reaction, where Adrien started hyperventilating and passed out, smiling when he finally woke up because they were having a baby! He had been jealous because Nino and Alya had just had their son, Lucien, only two months prior. Hugo was born and the world seemed right.

Now they had an eighteenth month old, who both Adrien and Romeo adored, and another on the way, due any day now. Marinette really didn't want to fight with Romeo, trying to convince him to go to his first day of school for the year. "Well, why don't you want to go, Romeo?" She couldn't crouch down to meet his level, so she settled for using her most soothing, motherly voice.

"Because Papa told me I had to be the man of the house when he's at work but how can I be the man when I'm not here?"

Marinette chuckled, but rolled her eyes. He had probably told Romeo that because he was worried about her upcoming due date and the fact that he was working more hours so he could take time off when the baby was born. "I'll be fine, Romeo. I'm Ladybug, remember? I can take care of myself." She gave the little boy a wink and a tentative smile began to form on his face.

"Alright…" She and Adrien decided letting Romeo believe his parents were Ladybug and Chat Noir until he was proven right was easier than telling him they weren't then correcting themselves later and telling him that they were. Romeo, despite being talkative, was good at keeping secrets. He knew not to reveal that they were Ladybug and Chat Noir. No one would believe an eight year old anyway. "See you after school, Mom. Bye, Hugo!" Hugo didn't respond, but continued to play with his toys on the floor.

Marinette kept an eye on him while she grabbed her sketchbook and began creating some new designs when she felt her first contraction. She sighed, picked up Hugo and placed him in his crib, texted Alya asking her to come pick him up and watch him, took a shower, went and ate a pint of gelato, passed Hugo to Alya, watched a movie, timing out her contractions, then called Adrien, telling him that they were about to have a baby, where he then promptly freaked out and rushed home to take her to the hospital.

That night Felix Louis Agreste was born, which was expected, but as was Bridgette Juliette Agreste, who was more of a surprise. The name Felix had been Marinette's idea. She wanted to give their son a lucky name since luck is what their relationship circled around. Adrien had wanted to name their daughter Juliette, but Marinette drew the line, refusing to have both a Romeo and Juliet in the house, but allowed to middle name to live on.

That next morning Gabriel came over with Romeo before school started. Marinette was asleep, but Adrien sat in a chair beside her, holding the two children in his arms, passing Felix to Gabriel and Bridgette to Romeo. "You've got a big job now, bud." Adrien spoke quietly, as to not disturb Marinette. "You've got three little siblings to watch after now. Are you up to the challenge?"

Romeo smiled, a glint in his eye, looking down at the pink wrapped little girl in his arms. "I will be the best big brother ever."

"You already are." Adrien ruffled Romeo's hair, causing it to go every which way. Normally Romeo would smooth it down, but today he ignored it, captivated by his new little siblings.

Marinette stirred at this moment, slowly opening her eyes, sleepily looking at her family in the room. There were some members missing, Hugo and her parents, but even seeing her husband, Romeo and Gabriel crowded around Felix and Bridgette was nice. She wasn't sure what she did to deserve this kind of happiness.

Adrien noticed Marinette woke up and went to stand by her, taking her hand in his. "You're amazing," he said.

"No, you're the one that brought this family together, Adrien."

He placed a kiss on her forehead and continued to watch his father and son with his two youngest. "Why don't we agree we're both amazing and leave it at that, M'Lady."

"We're going to have to find a really babysitter before too long, you know. We can't just keep shoving the kids off on others when we go fight."

"We'll figure something out." They sighed, looking at one another, both their eyes gleaming brightly. "I love you."

"I love you too."


Sorry everyone for the wait! I just got really busy with school and stuff. Recently I auditioned for a play at my local community theatre and got cast. It's a show with seven parts, three girls and four guys, and I actually managed to get one of those parts! I'm still going to be writing though. Don't worry. Currently my next story in progress is Broken, which I'm planning on updating once a week, but I haven't figured out which day yet. I'm also planning another one for weekly updates as well. After that I might consider a sequel for Romeo and Marinette but I'm not quite sure yet. I'll keep y'all posted. I can't believe this is the end! I hope y'all enjoyed reading as much as I did writing! See y'all soon!
