HI Y'All from popular demand i'm posting an Epilogue ;) This is kinda gonna work around Adrien and not knowing about his mother. I wanted to put during my story but i scrapped the idea and decided to bring it back into the Epilogue so enjoy.
'Sweaty me and your dad love you so much, You may not know much of what happen but you have to remember I'm always watching over you.' The blond said to the little boy holding her hand.
'Mommy what do you mean?' he asked looking up to her.
'I love you so much, that's what I mean sweetheart.' she let go of the boy's hand , crouched in front of him, and placed both her hands on his slender shoulders. ' Your dad may not show his feelings to you right now, and he may be hurt, but Adrien he loves you and just wants the best for you. You are the most important person in his life and he doesn't want you to get hurt.'
'Mom why does it sound like you're going to leave?' tears began to form in his eyes.
The blond stood up and smiled tenderly at the young boy, 'I love you and your daddy so much.' and she walked away without looking back
The young boy tried to reach for his mother, but his feet felt like cement, so he yelled for his mother, 'MOMMA...MOMMA... Mommy, Mommy, don't leave me,' he cried and the tears poured out of his eyes, 'don't leave me... mommy' his shouts turned into whispers, he tried yelling louder but the words would not come out, the little boy crouched and placed his head on his knees. The little boy cried and cried and when he stood up the turned into a man, 'Mom, please come back...'
Adrien woke up from his dream in tears and sat up in his bed, he looked around the room not knowing where he was,
"Why are you up," Marinette muttered half-asleep.
"Nothing, I just had a weird dream, go back to sleep," he said a little shaken up.
Marinette turned in the bed and looked at him, she saw the tears that were around his eyes, "It's not nothing," she pulled on his arm to sit up, and wiped away the tears on his face, "What did you dream about?" she asked softly.
Adrine hugged Marinette and hid his face in her neck, "I don't really know," he muttered.
Marinette hugged him back, "Well what did you see, then?"
"I saw my mom..." he said holding on to her tighter, and tried to hold back the tears.
"Adrine... hey," she tried to get him to look at her, "hey, It's okay, what did guys do?"
He still couldn't look at in the eyes, "She was just talking to me, and told me she loved me... and, it's just, I don't know..."
Marinette placed both her hands on his cheeks, pulled him towards her and placed a kiss on his eye, then his nose, and then his lips, "Adrien It's okay to miss your mom." She placed her forehead on his, "I know you don't know much about her death but, she loves you, and I know your dad loves you too."
"How did you know she told me my father loves me?" he asked shocked.
"What are you talking about? I can tell your dad loves you, I've worked with him, I've had dinner with both of you, I can tell he loves you."
"It's so strange, my mom said to me that I can't tell, but he loves me, and it's weird that you bring it up too." he wrapped his hands around her waist and falls on top of her.
"Get off you're heavy!" she said out of breath.
"I'M not heavy, I'm a model, I'm as light as a feather," he said as he tucked his head in her neck again.
"Get off-" she pushed him away, "I'm tired from the concert, and we have to leave to the UK at 8 am and," she looked to the clock," It's 5 am we have to leave in an hour let me sleep."
Adrine pulled her towards him, and she laid her head on his chest, " I loved your singing, and I think it's cute you used the song you wrote for me as the last song you sing."
"Ya, don't change the topic, just tell me if you have more dreams about you mom, cuz it could be a sign," she closed her eyes. "I think you should also call you dad."
"What? Why do I have to call him?" he looked to his girlfriend.
"Ask him if he had a dream about you mom too, and just ask him what more he knows about your mom's passing. Maybe he knows more than what you know cuz she passed when you were young, there is so much a child doesn't know."
"Later-"
"Tomorrow, besides I have to talk to him too."
"Why do you need talk to my father?"
"I need to ask him about a new design," she said half-asleep.
"Okay, sleep." he said closing his eyes.

In the hotel lobby, Marinette and Adrien, waited along with all the other came on tour with Jagged, the dancers, the tech people, the producers, directors, and other people who worked backstage keeping the tour going. Adrien was not part of the tour but this was the last show in France before going of to all of Europe, and he so happen to have work in the UK the same time they were going there so he decided to travel with Marinette. Marinette was tired, the concert ended at 12 a.m. and she was wanted more sleep but she could nap on the plane for a while. They were all waiting for Jagged Stone to get his ass down so that they can all leave.
"Penny?" one of the directors asked as she approached the Tour team, "Do you know when his Highness will come down?"
"I Just messaged him He is on the elevator going down to the parking garage with security. There was a Fan issue and he is going to meet us at the airport, so we can all now enter the buses to go. Everyone has their things and Passport, yes, good, let's go!" and she directed everyone to the buses. Penny walked along side with Marinette and Adrien, "Hey, Adrien I didn't know you were coming with us."
"Ya I have some photo shoots in UK so I thought I'd tag along with Marinette." he responded as he reached to hold Marinette's hand.
"Well it cute that you came to visit your girlfriend, what did you think of the show last night?" Penny asked.
"It was amazing, when Jagged showed up on stage all of a sudden with the fog it was so cool. Jagged's concert are always the best." he said with excitement.
"Did you enjoy Marinette's opening?" Penny asked.
"Well of course, it's always Amazing to see my girlfriend onstage," he pulled Marinette closer to him and placed a kiss on her check.
"You two are so cute," Penny said. Once everyone was on the bus, Penny counted heads making sure everyone was on the bus and they were off to the airport.
Waiting for the boarding call the team waited in a private waiting area for their private flight. Jagged pulled out his phone to look at a picture of Fang, is pet crocodile. "FANG" he yelled suddenly starting everyone, "SOON WE WILL BE UNITED!"
"Jagged, you will see her once we land okay, there is no need to be melodramatic," Penny said.
"Ya Jagged," Marinette said, " Fang is in great care, I'm sure he misses you too."
"Yes Marinette, I must not lose hope! Fang is waiting for me, I must stay strong for him!"
Marinette didn't quite get Jagged Stone, but he was an interesting person to be around. She looked over to Adrien who had just took a picture of himself with the tour group in the background and Marinette smiling at Jagged Stone, he signed into his Twitter and proceed to update his status with that photo. "Hanging with the band, going to the UK with my Ladybug," Marinette read outloud.
"Hey" Adrien blushed, "Why are you reading it out loud?"
"Why are you posting a pic with 'My Ladybug'?" she asked. They hadn't come out and told everyone that they were dating but a lot of Ladybug and Adrien's fans were guessing they were.
"It's cute," he looked away from her still wanting to post the picture, "besides It's been like 2 months, I'm pretty sure they know we're dating."
"Well I'm sure they think we are, but I think it's fun keeping them in the shadows." Marinette took his phone and re-wrote his post, 'Hanging with the band, going to the UK.'
"But we have cute ship names! Besides since you posted that picture calling me Chat Noir we have four ship names, Adrinette, Ladrine, Marichat, and Ladynoir!" he protested.
"You didn't help it when you posted that picture of us on Instagram dressed up as Chat Noir and giving pictures of us to Alya. She posted them up on her blog and they went Viral!"
"Ya I didn't think it thru when she asked for pictures of us, but I think it's about time we told our fans about us," Adrien explained.
Penny overhear their debate, and walked over, "I think Marinette should sing the duet with Jagged, then at the end of the song Adrien comes on stage and you two kiss in front of everyone. That would make a statement and increase the attention to the tour and your work Marinette."
"YES! That would be perfect!" Adrien said.
"I don't think that's a good Idea," Marinette said hesitantly.
"What?" Penney and Adrien said at the same time.
"They might mistake it as a publicity stunt and think we are just taken advantage of the hype around us," Marinette explained.
"Well you two can tweet about it or release a statement about you two?" Penny suggested.
"That seems so formal though," Marinette wined.
"Well I did propose that time at dinner with your parents..." he winked at her.
Penny was shocked, "You did what?!"
"That doesn't count cuz we had just started going out and my dad is weird, and I said no." Marinette explained herself to Penny.
"Well I guess I did ask too soon..." he pouted.
"You two are just too cute. How about you post a picture of you two kissing before going on stage and as a caption just put the winky face emoji ;)" Penny said.
"That one could work?" Marinette said.
"Really?!" Pen and Adrien said at the same time
"It's not like we can really stop it, like right now people will overreact to Adrien going with us to the UK so now there are even more rumors spreading," Marinette explained.
"Ya and we can explore together and post with us together, leading up to the picture of us kissing." Adrien suggested.
"That would be so cute," Penny added.
"What's cute?" Asked a dancer named Kimmy
"They are going to come out as a couple publicly," Penny explained.
"What!? I just thought they were really good friends!" Kimmy said.
"See this is why we need to clear the Air!"Adrien said.
"You two are dating that's really big news! People are going to talk about it for weeks, trust me I can tell" Kimmy exclaimed.
Marinette wanted to change the topic, " Hey Kimmy why are you wearing that white and black jumpsuit and is that a fanny pack?"
" Ya it's just a jumpsuit and it's not a fanny pack okay it's a utility belt okay. Everything is right here and then I don't have to worry about anything," she smiled at her.
Penny got called by one of the flight attendants, "Hey everyone we are boarding let all get in the flight and get out of France."

They landed in London, and were placed in the same Hotel except for Jagged and Penny, they had their own homes near by, Jagged parted with his crew and rushed home to Fang. Penny stayed a little while longer so that everyone was settled and had everything they needed before she went home. Adrien checked in a separate room from Marinette since she was sharing with some of the dancers, and he was going to be in London for a different amount of time than Marinette since he had work of his own in the next couple of days. The crew was staying in london for 3 days and then going Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Glasgow, Belfast, and then going to Dublin Ireland within the next 2 weeks. Adrien was only staying for 5 days so he was going to enjoy as much as he could with Marinette before they had to separate for who knows how long.
Adrien knocked on Marinette's door and Kimmy answered the door, "Hey Adrine what's up?"
"Is Marinette here?" he asked her.
Kimmy stepped out of the door frame and opened the door so that Adrien would enter, "Ya she is just making sure airport security didn't mess with her stuff too much." There was one other dancer in the room but didn't really care Adrien was in there, Kimmy closed the door and went to the other dancer.
"Hey Adrien," marinette responded, "Just give me a second imma change and then we can go explore," she rummaged through her suitcase.
"It's all good, did all your stuff survive?" he asked as she when to the restroom to change.
She yelled through the door, "Ya I just wish they would be a little more gentle with my suitcase the wheels almost came off," she complained. She came out in a Ladybug print bodysuit, some shorts, knee high socks and some black flats. "Let's go," she smiled. He reached for her hand and interlaced fingers, and said good bye to the dancers.
Walking around, they decided to put on their masks just because they wanted to explore a little more without being recognized, but some people did come up to Marinette asking if she was Ladybug and she just smiled and told them no she was just a fan. After a few people asked them if they were Ladybug and Adrien, people just thought they were just another weird couple on the street. Marinette and Adrien went up to the London Eye and saw a spectacular view of the city, Marinette still had one thing she wanted to ask Adrien though, was he going to call his father and ask him about his mother's passing?
Adrien and Marinette continued to explore the streets going into random shops, trying on different things, marinette looking at the designers on the labels, taking notes in her sketchbook. Adrien has been to London before but it was just for work, now he was really getting to explore, they went into into a knick-knack shop and just looked at the random items in there, marinette was more interested in the random clothes they had while, Adrien just looked at the random things in the shop. He found some cool sunglasses and a new black mask with a black laced pattern, as he kept looking he came across a peacock influenced fan. He picked it up and it looked nearly Identical as to the one his father had given his mother, he had only seen his mother with it when ever she would tell him his favorite bedtime story, The Butterfly and The Peacock. He picked it up and bought the light aqua peacock fan, "Hey Marinette do you want to head out? Should we get something to eat?" he asked her.
"Ya lets get something to eat," she put down the shirt she was inspecting and noticed the small bag that Adrien had in his hand. "Did you buy something?"
"Ya just some random stuff, what kind of food are you in the mood for, I just want something to eat something."
Marinette noticed he didn't want to talk about what he bought but, let it go since she was also hungry. "I can eat anything, do you know what you want?"
"I kinda want a burger." he responded
Marinette reached out for his hand and they interlaced fingers, they headed out the door, "I kinda just want to eat in the hotel, I don't want to be asked again if we are who we are."
"Okay so will grab something and head back to the hotel."

They decided to eat in Adrien's room since there wouldn't be a chance of people bugging them, Marinette sat on the desk chair while Adrien just flopped face first on his bed, "I can't believe people actually recognized us at the burger stall," he mumbled into his bed.
"Well at least we got to escape from the crowd, and got free food," she replied equally as exhaust.
Adrien sat up, "But we had to wait till the crowd left so we could leave." he took off his mask.
"Well look at the bright side we ate and people know we are in London for the show," marinette pointed out.
"I guess," he flopped back on his bed.
Marinette noticed how negative adrien has been acting since they left the shop, "Hey is something the matter?" she asked concerned.
"I'm fine." he responded
"You've been acting strange since you bought stuff at that one shop," she poked.
"I said that I'm fine," he insisted.
"You haven't acted fine," she muttered.
"I'm just a little annoyed that we got reconditioned together that all."
"You are the one who wants us to be seen together and tell the world that we are a couple, something else is obviously bothering you," she caught his lie.
" I don't want to talk about it, just drop it," he sounded annoyed.
"I can tell it bugging you, I just want to know if I can help," she insisted.
"I just don't want to talk about it," he raise his voice, "just drop it."
Mariette stood up from the chair, " What's the big issue that can't be talked about," she raised her voice as well. "You know what I'm not going to deal with your attitude, I haven't done anything wrong to deserve you raising you voice at me, I just wanted to know if you were okay." with that she left the room leaving Adrien alone.
Adrien stood up and wanted to go after her but something held him back, he stood by the door just holding on to the door knob. He went back to his bed and pulled from his bag the peacock fan and stared at it till the light left the room.
'You need to apologize to the little girl you hurt' the blond woman said to the pouting little boy. She sat down next to the boy, ' Well how about if I hurt your feeling you would want momma to apologize to you.' she explained.
The little boy looked up to his mother and hugged her, 'momma why did you have to leave me?'
"What are you talking about I'm right here,' she laughed and huggd her child, ' now go and apologize to that sweet little girl, i'm sure that her feeling are hurt.' she pat him on the shoulder and he got up.
The little boy started to walk and her turned back to his mother scared, she gave him a smile and a thumbs up, 'you're going to be here when I get back right momma?' he asked.
'I'm always going to be here for you no matter what, so don't be scared cuz no matter what I'm always with you'.
So the little boy ran off...
Adrien woke up from his dream not really remembering it, for sure it had been the second time he had dreamed about his mother. He looked over to clock on the night stand, 9:36, he got up from his bed and changed out of his street clothes and into a black t-shirt and navy shorts. He looked at his phone no messages from Marinette but plenty of messages from Nino linking to pictures of him and Marinette holding hands on the streets of London. He didn't even bother looking on to his social media cuz he knew that there was going to be stuff with him and marinette all over. He put his phone down and decided to go and talk to Marinette, he did feel bad that he lashed out on her, just because she wanted to know what's up with him, he just didn't know how to talk a lot about his mother. He walked out of his room and headed to Marinette's room not caring if her roommates were there or not. He knocked on the door nervous but he knew he need to apologize to her, there was no answer at and started to leave but, then Marinette opened the door. She looked like she had also just woken up from a nap but was also still a little pissed at him but opened the door anyways. "Hey," he said.
"Hi,' she responded not really looking at him.
At the same time they said, "Sorry-" there was a silence. Marinette gestured for him to go first and he just went up to her and hugged her, " I'm sorry" he said into her ear.
She hugged him back, " I'm sorry too."
They stood there in the in front of Marinette's door for a few minutes just holding each other and when they heard people approaching they went inside Marinette's room. "They went out clubbing" she said as Arien looked to see who was in the room.
"Marinette," he a said as he held on her hand, "I'm sorry I lashed out on you," he lifted her hand a places a kiss on her knuckles, "My lady please forgive me."
Marinette pulled him by his hand and sat him down on the chair and she sat on his lap, he held on to her waist, "Just tell me what has been bothering you," she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Adrien placed his head on her shoulder, "When we were at the knick-knack shop I found this little peacock fan that looked exactly like one my father had given to my mother. I don't know she would tell me this story were a butterfly who became friends with a peacock even tho the peacock was bigger than the butterfly they still worked together. It was my favorite story as a kid and I just didn't know how to react when I saw the peacock fan so I just pushed it off, but I still bought it. I Couldn't get it out of my mind and when we got burgers and were ambushed with people I felt it was too much. I didn't want to lash out to you I know you persisted cuz you just wanted to help me."
"Adrien," she said softly and held on to him tighter, "I'm sorry I pushed you too much, I should have just waited till you were ready to talk to me." they sat there in eachothers arms for a while, marinette looked over to the clock on the wall and it was almost 10 pm, " Adrien, I think that you should call your dad and ask him about your mom."
Adrien looked into Marinette's eyes, " I don't know, he has never really talked to me about my mom other than she disappeared and was dead."
"Well it's almost 11 in france, I think if you call him he will answer he won't have any other people occupying his time."
Adrien reached for his pocket and pulled out his cell phone, and looked for his Father's number, when he got to it he took a couple of deep breath and pressed the call button. The phone rang a few times before he Gabriel Agreste answered.
"Hello? Adrien?"
"... Ya it me father." he responded nervous to actually be talking to his father.
"Is there an emergency? You never call me." A hint of concern we in his voice.
"No there is no emergency, I just need to know something about Mother," Adrien responded trying to be brave. There was no response from Gabriel only silence, so Adrien just went for it, "I have been having dreams with Mother in them and I wanted to know if you have had dreams about her too."
There was some silence, " Almost every week your mother appears in my dreams Adrien."
This shocked Adrien, he really did miss his mother, "She has been showing up and just talking to me, just telling me she loved you and me."
" That does sound like you mother," he said softly barely audible to Adrien
"What did happen to her? No one ever told be what really happened to her."
" Well I don't really know much about her passing as well, Adrien. We both went to Tibet looking for inspiration for a new project, and she found this buddhist temple that she spent a lot up in while I had meetings. When she didn't show up the worst happened, she had gone missing going on a trail exploring the mountain scenery. She was declared missing by the authorities and search party found her gone after a week of searching. I still have no information on why she went on the trail or how she passed, the authorities said it was from dehydration and starvation but it never made any sense to me."
Adrien was silent he only had more questions to ask but his Father but, he also didn't know what truly happened.
"I haven't explained what happened to your Mother because I knew you would only have more questions that I could not answers. You were also a child Adrien, there is only so much I could have told you that you would understand."
"Thank you, dad." Adrien responded
"Your welcome, son." Gabriel said.
"I have to go to a photo shoot tomorrow, I'm going to hang up now." Adrien said hesitantly not really knowing how to end the conversation.
"Yes, get some rest, good night Adrien" he father also sounded like he didn't know how to talk to his son.
"Night dad." and with that Adrien hung up
Marinette smiled at Adrien, giving him a goofy smile, "baby steps" she said and she hugged him tighter.
"Ah can't breath." he said teasingly.
"Did it help talking to your dad?" Marinette said and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"I think it did, Hey didn't you say last night that you wanted to also talk to my dad too?" Adrien asked.
"Well I just said that to try to get you to talk to your dad, I think you two should have dinner together when you get back to France."
"Baby steps" she said as he proceeded to kiss Marinette.
"Hey stop we need to take a picture," she said pushing him away and reaching for his phone.
"What why do we need a picture?" Adrien asked as he unlocked his phone for Marinette.
"Cuz don't we need to tell everyone we are together?" she smiled.
"Yes we need to do that, definitely,now?" he asked confused, "I thought we were going to post it before the concert tomorrow?"
"Well I want to post it now, we didn't agree on when, it was only suggested."
