Chapter 21
Adrien goes to check on Marinette. He opens their bedroom door and sees her asleep. He smiles softly and looks at her. He lays next to her and taps her shoulder. "Mari?" Marinette wakes up and looks at Adrien.
"hey" She smiles. "is there an akuma or something?" Adrien shakes his head.
"no just missed you" He kisses her. She kisses back.
"you're such a dork" She giggles "I was thinking that maybe we should move on from being Ladybug and Chat Noir." She sighs.
"but Marinette we love being heroes and it's the only time you can walk."
"I know but we are getting older and we have kids to look after" Marinette coughs then smiles weakly.
"I will get you your medicine." Adrien gets up and goes to the bathroom to get Marinette's medicine then he helps her take it. He holds her hand. "you don't look so good" Adrien was worried for Marinette. Marinette has been starting to get sick for months now and she wasn't getting better, her immune system was failing and he was afraid that he might loose her soon. Marinette yawns.
"I love you my dork but I'm going to sleep now" Marinette falls asleep. Adrien sighs and leaves Marinette's room. All Marinette ever does since the accident was sleep. He was so depressed over how Marinette has turned out.
Many hours later finally the twins got home. Adrien smiles at them. "how was school?"
"yea it was good Kayla and I signed up for the band at school" Emma giggles.
"that's great Em and what about you Elle? How was school?" Emilie sighs
"it was fine" Emilie goes to her room and closes the door.
"is she ok?" Adrien asks Emma but Emma just shrugs.
"I'm going to do some homework" Emma walks off. Adrien goes to check up on Emilie. He knocks on her door.
"Elle it's dad can I come in?" He hears no response so he opens the door, but no one was in the room. He sees the window wide open and he looks out the window and groans. "damn it." Adrien runs downstairs and gets into his car and goes to find Emilie.
Couple hours later and he finally finds her. He goes over to Emilie and grabs her by the wrist. "Emilie Agreste you are in deep trouble." Emilie sighs. "and who are these people?" Adrien was pissed off.
"this is my boyfriend and this is his friends" Emilie rolls her eyes. Adrien drags Emilie into the car and he drives home. The whole drive no one talked. He drags her inside.
"you are grounded!" Adrien crosses his arm. Emilie screams in frustration then storms off to her room and slams the door. Adrien sits on the couch and sighs. Emma goes over to Adrien and she sits next to him.
"dad are you ok?" Emma looks at him sadly. Adrien nods.
"I'll be fine." Adrien sighs.
"ok dad, I'm here for you, anyways I'm going to bed goodnight" Emma kisses her fathers cheek then goes to her room. Adrien sits on the couch crying. There was so much stress on his shoulders. He didn't know what to do anymore. He felt like a single parent since Marinette can't help raise the girls. He falls asleep on the couch.
He wakes up to Emma shaking him. He looks at Emma as he sees her crying, he quickly sits up. "what is it Emma?"
"it's mom she keeps screaming" Emma runs back to her mothers room. Adrien runs after Emma. He could hear the screaming. He sees Marinette screaming and he rushes over.
"Hey, hey calm down Mari." Adrien tears up.
"it hurts!" Marinette keeps crying.
"what hurts?" Adrien was so worried.
"my head!" Then she passes out from the pain. Adrien looks at Emma who is standing there crying.
"Emma call an ambulance now!" Adrien cries looking at Marinette. Emma nods and calls an ambulance. Once the ambulance arrived, they took Marinette to the hospital. Adrien goes to get Emilie but when he goes to her room, she is gone. Adrien gets really upset and angry but he needs to be with his wife, so Emma and Adrien get in the car and go to the hospital.
