Ha, you guys thought that we were getting some Spicy Marichat™? Nooo. This is a oneshot from a draft of Love Chain, thus why Emma isn't present.
"Good morning, Lilly," Adrien said softly to Marinette's three year old daughter, Lillybelle, who resembled her mother.
He'd been babysitting her for a while now, sure, but when she said "Good morning, daddy," in return, Adrien couldn't help but grin.
When Marinette returned from work, she noticed how Adrien was still smiling.
"What are you grinning ear to ear about?" She asked with a little chuckle. "What happened?"
He glanced at Lillybelle, who was trying to play with Kyomi, then back at Marinette.
"This morning she called me daddy," he said.
"Oh?"
"Yeah...I'm happy but at the same time a little stumped."
"Stumped?"
"I'm not with you romantically, which would simply make me your close friend. But she just called me daddy. Does she know what happened to Luka?"
"Yeah. I told her that he went to a better place and would make music there." Marinette said. "She's calling you daddy now because of how you're treating and taking care of her."
"Do you think she'll keep calling me daddy?"
"Should you continue to take care of her like this? Yep."
Adrien couldn't help but continue to smile at that.
Lilly may not have been his, but he'd treat her as if she were his own.
