Adrien woke up to the usual noise of a cartoon playing. Emma was sitting on the floor even though Adrien had tried to coax her to sit on the couch with him, and Lillybelle and Kyomi were playing.
"Daddy, you're awake!" Emma exclaimed.
"Hi, princess. Are Lilly and Kyomi still playing dress up?"
"Yeah!"
Adrien chuckled. Toddlers never got bored.
Then he frowned.
Marinette's designs!
"What room?"
"Yours and Mummy's."
"Oh, no no no no!"
Adrien leapt off of the couch and bolted to the bedroom. He found Lillybelle with Marinette's bra on (to the best of her ability as a small little girl with no breasts) and Kyomi trying to wear one of Marinette's lingerie.
"What are you guys doing?!" He asked the girls, rushing to remove the clothes from them.
"Dressing up!" They exclaimed.
Adrien sighed. He took the bra and lingerie from the girls, who pouted.
"All of Mummy's other stuff too big!" Kyomi exclaimed in Japanese.
"Everything of Mummy's is too big for you." Adrien replied.
"We wanna play dress up!" Lillybelle was on the verge of a tantrum.
"Okay, okay! I'll ask her to make you some outfits in her spare time, okay?"
"Yay!" The girls cheered. They ran off to the playroom. Adrien heaved a sigh of relief.
"Are you gonna tell Mummy?" Emma asked him.
Adrien tensed from his daughter sneaking up on him.
"Yep." He told her with a little smile.
By the time Marinette got home from work, it was about time for dinner. Lillybelle and Kyomi had tired themselves out from playing so much, and Emma cried herself to sleep when Adrien told her to stop watching TV after she'd started rubbing her eyes.
"Hi kitty." She said, gently shutting the door. "I'm assuming the girls are all asleep?"
"Yep." He answered. "Lilly and Kyomi wore themselves out and Em got mad at me and cried herself to sleep when I cut her TV."
"Other than that how were they?"
Adrien chuckled. "Funny story, little lady, they got into these." He held her bra and lingerie from his finger.
Marinette squeaked. She snatched them and hid them behind her back, face red.
"Why are you hiding? You wore lingerie on our honeymoon, you wear bras all the time. But I've never seen this one, I admit."
She glanced down at the bra with a sad smile.
"My lady?"
"Sorry." She wiped her tears. "I was just remembering Luka...I made it myself. I washed it of course, but never wore it again."
"On purpose?" He asked softly.
"Yeah...I wanted to throw away every sign of Luka because I basically cry a river and fall through the bridge every time he's talked about or mentioned. I didn't. I just hid a lot of it. The only tokens now are the necklaces and Lilly."
"Where is all of the stuff?" He asked.
"Um...well, a lot of the clothes and presents are in storage right now. The pictures and videos are on a thumbdrive and so are our text messages."
Adrien hugged his wife. "It's alright, my lady...we can visit his grave sometime soon if you want."
"I'm fine." She answered, and glanced at the rings on the chain.
"You...you proposed to him, right? Both times?"
"Yeah, to be my boyfriend and my husband. Thus the color of our wedding bands, black and blue. His ring was silver. Juleka told me that I should keep the wedding bands at least."
"Till death do us part."
"What if one of our vows was why he died?"
"Don't you dare start thinking like that, Marinette. You had no control over the situation. Nobody does. You never part with a loved one."
She fell into his arms and cried. Adrien ran his fingers through her hair.
"I didn't mean to make you cry, I wanted to laugh over the girls finding entertainment out of your...special clothes."
"I know," she mumbled.
"You know we changed our vows from both past marriages," he told her. "What was it, hmm? What did we promise each other?"
"That we won't part until the end of everlasting time."
"Which is?"
"Never."
"Exactly. And let's just say that you and Luka promised that too."
"We didn't, but—"
"No buts, little lady. We're going with the story."
"Fine..."
"Now tell me...what on Earth did this do to Luka to have you pregnant with Lilly in...I dunno, minutes or so?"
"A-A-Adrien!"
