"I spy with my little eye something soft." Emma said.

Hugo looked up from his bucket of snow. "Emma, we're too old for I spy."

"You're never too old for I spy." Marinette said, channeling a wink at her husband. They used to play I Spy on patrol. Before Hugo crashed in and foiled their plans. Oh well. Life.

"Come on!" Emma whined.

"No."

"Fine." Emma took a bunch of snow from his bucket, destroying his ultimate plan to make a giant snow castle, balled it up, and chucked it at him.

Hugo froze as he felt the snow hit the back of his head and slide down.

"Ooh. Icy burn." Adrien winced before Marinette elbowed him in the ribs. "What? She takes on after me."

"Snowball fight!" Their son called.

"Crap." Marinette swore quietly. "I uh...I'm just gonna-"

She got hit straight in the face with a snowball.

"Oh, it's on!" She exclaimed, suddenly having changed her mind. She didn't let Adrien get away with stuff like that.

"I have carried two of your children," she said, balling up a snowball. "You have no right to hurt me like that!"

"Oh, what's wrong? Princess got cold feet?"

"You...you ane!"

She threw a snowball at him so hard that he lay flat on the ground.

"Mom, aren't you gonna help him?" Hugo asked Marinette, who was focused on getting back in the house.

"Nope!" She said from afar.

"I don't want her help," Adrien grumbled. "She called me a donkey."

Hugo laughed and ran after his mother.

"Don't worry, Daddy." Emma said, patting Adrien's forehead as if it would do anything to help. "We can ambush Mommy later."

Adrien grinned and hugged his daughter. He and Marinette had made beautiful babies. He loved them.

The genetics were too good.

"You wanna know the meaning behind your name?" Adrien asked Emma.

"Mommy said that it meant universal." Emma said.

"Well, yeah. She liked that meaning a lot more than the original. You were named after your grandmother."

"My grandma?"

"Yep. Her name was Emilie."

"Is that why my full name is..."

"Emma Lie Adelaide Agreste, yes."

"What was she like?"

Adrien propped himself up. "You look just like her. Blonde hair, green eyes, and a beautiful voice."

"She was a singer?"

"No, an actress."

"I wanna be an actress. Can I be an actress?"

Adrien fought tears away.

"Of course. You can be just like her."

"Let's go ambush Mommy."

Emma ran off to find some snow.

Adrien sighed. What did he do to deserve a family? A daughter that was a clone of his mother and a son that was a clone of his wife.

Something. Something great.


Aaannd I'll end it there. I was going in circles. I felt like writing angst. Whoops.
