This is going to be my post for the weekend. I hope I did the idea justice. This request was sent to me in Spanish so it's only as correct as Google Translate. I feel like it's all over the place but I hope you can all still enjoy this I worked hard.

A villain floated over the Couffaine boat, just out of sight. They watched as the miraculous holders milled around the boat. Alya and Nino were watching the latest video she'd taken of Ladybug in action, while Adrien and Kagami were sitting on the edge of the boat, watching the other boats pass by.
"If the miraculous holders are gone Ladybug and Chat Noir will have no one to help them," Hawkmoth stated into the villains subconscious. They smirked hitting the boat with a beam.
Marinette was sitting on Luka's bed as he played the finished melody on his guitar. The boat rocked, knocking her into him. She awkwardly smiled up at him as his arms came around to keep her from getting hurt.
"What was that?" Marinette asked pulling herself from his arms much to his dislike.
"Probably just a rogue wave, sometimes they roll in," He followed Marinette's lead as she stood.
"Thanks for playing, but I should probably go home," she looked to him disappointed.
"Anytime, Marinette," He smiled as she left.
Marinette walked out onto the deck. Adrien and Kagami were heading out, if they skipped practice both their families would have their hides. Marinette started the walk home. She walked the same path she always did but it felt different today for some reason.
"Was that shop always there?" She asked herself as she continued down the street. The further she got the weirder things felt. She began to run home, coming to the bakery doors. It was closed. She tried to unlock the door but the key didn't work. She started making her way to the only other place she could think of.
Adrien and Kagami arrived at the school. They walked through the doors and it was very different from what they had seen just this morning. Did they redecorate in the few hours the students were gone? They looked at each other but shrugged it off. They made their way to the fencing area. A plaque on the wall caught their eye.
"In honor of Armand D'Argencourt," Adrien read. This was too weird to ignore now.
"Something seems wrong," Kagami said, Adrien, agreed. "I'm gonna go check on my family," she rushed off leaving Adrien to do the same.
Adrien stepped outside to find Marinette. She had a just as worried look on her face. She came to when Adrien stepped in front of her.
"Are you okay Marinette?" He asked. She let out a deep breath.
"Things just feel…"
"Off?" He finished for her and she nodded. "I was gonna go check out my house, wanna come with me?" She smiled, feeling more assured now that she wasn't alone.
They walked quickly to his house. It looked the same on the outside besides the big sign on the door that stated 'Agreste Museum'. They gave each other a look before stepping inside. There were huge statues. Each one commemorating the death of a miraculous holder. Marinette gasped when she saw herself as Ladybug and Chat Noir at her side. The cold stone was frozen in time. Her statue had shorter hair than she did now. They were… dead?
"Adrien…?" A voice echoed out into the museum. They turned to find Gabriel looking many years older. He sucked in a breath and stepped closer to his son, pulling him into his arms. Adrien didn't know what to do. His father had never shown this kind of emotion. Gabriel pulled himself together and released him, eyes shining with unshed tears. He looked over to Marinette with a gentle smile before his eyes widened.
"I'm sure you're both very confused. There's someone I'd like you to meet," behind him was a woman and a tall man.
They stepped forward, the woman speaking. "This is Hugo." The woman stated.
"He's your son Marinette."
"What?!" Both Marinette and Adrien shouted in unison. Hugo gave a soft smile. Now that they really looked at him they could see the resemblance. He had dark black hair like hers and emerald green eyes.
"H-how is this possible?" Marinette let out a shaky breath.
"Mom," she startled at the word. "You've come to the future."
Gabriel stepped away from them to make a call. Marinette and Adrien sat down as they took in what was going on. The woman crouched down in front of Marinette. "I'm Bridgette."
"If Marinette is his mother then who is the father?" Adrien asked, knowing Marinette wasn't in the right mind state to ask herself.
Hugo stared at him for a moment, trying to find the right words. "Chat Noir," Bridgette said in his stead. Both Marinette and Adrien's eyes widened, mouths agape. Adrien looked at her and stood, taking a deep breath before pacing around the statues. This was all too much for him to take in.
"Let me explain." Marinette was flamed red at the information she'd just gotten but Bridgette's serious tone brought her back. "How old are you now?"
"I'm 15 why?" She answered, confused as to why it mattered.
"I'm going to speak fast we don't have long, okay?" She nodded, ready to soak up all the information she was going to give her.
"When you were eight months pregnant with Hugo, you were on a plane and a new Hawkmoth wanted you dead." Marinette listened, still not believing this was all happening.
"Chat Noir…" She let out a heavy breath. "Died trying to protect you." Marinette gaped at Hugo as he teared up a bit, he had never known his father but seeing him now, as a kid was hard for some reason. He looked away from her, staring at the pacing Adrien.
"You survived, but not for long… you died giving birth to Hugo." She laid a hand on Marinette's as her bottom lip quivered.
She struggled to continue. "The other holders aren't dead, they've gone into hiding because someone is trying to take them out one by one, and theyre faking their deaths." Marinette let out a sigh of relief. At least she knew Alya and Nino and everyone else was safe.
"Why is he with you?" Marinette had never met this woman in her life, how were they connected.
"My fiance and I adopted him because I am a descendant of a past Ladybug and Chat Noir," Marinette looked confused. Was that really enough reason to adopt her son?
"Alix guards the Miracle Box now, it's safe, but we have no holders that can fight against the new Hawkmoth,"
"If Alix has a miraculous why can't she fight him?"
"There is a traitor in the Order of the Guardians, he's holding one of the descendants of the rabbit miraculous hostage," Marinette thought they were all dead.
"Whoa whoa, what's all this about… descendants?" Marinette was lost.
"It doesn't matter, for now, all you need to know is that they know when the miraculous is used and where. Revealing the location,"
"Would expose the Miracle Box location," Marinette finished for her.
"Exactly, the traitor wanted you dead, not only because you're Ladybug but because Hugo has power." She continued before Marinette could ask.
While this was happening Hugo walked over to Adrien. "Dad…?" The boy's voice shocked him.
"H-how did you know," Adrien swallowed, it was hard to imagine this was his son when he was much taller and older than he was.
"I never got to meet you, or mom until now but I've seen pictures," Hugo tried to keep his tears at bay. Adrien watched, his heart stinging.
He explained how they had died and the situation they were in now. The shock made Adrien sit on the cold marble floors. He assumed Marinette was getting the same talk with how her face looked.
"Uncle Felix adopted me along with Bridgette over there," Hugo threw his head in her direction.
"Why would he do that?" Adrien asked confused, they hadn't exactly left on good terms.
"You two grew closer than you are now, and with grandpa," Hugo looked to Gabriel, who smiled back at him and Adrien. Adrien was still shocked by the fact that his father could smile so lovingly.
"C-can I hug you?" Hugo asked, giving a shy smile.
"Of course," Adrien felt more like the child when Hugo wrapped his large body around him. He couldn't believe this was his son… and Marinette's.
Adrien and Hugo stood, walking back over to Marinette and Bridgette.
"... it'll be easier to understand once you see," they had walked into the tail end of their conversation.
Adrien and Marinette stood before Hugo. Gabriel stood behind them, not taking his eyes off Adrien. He missed his son more and more each day. He hoped this would fix everything.
"Mom," she would never get used to hearing that. "I want you, both of you, to follow your own path," He smiled, taking a calming breath. He didn't want to say goodbye to them just yet.
"I guess it's time to say goodbye," he sighed.
"Wait!" Marinette stepped forward. "W-when is your birthday?" She felt silly for asking.
Hugo chuckled pulling her into a hug, "Shouldn't you know your own kwami's birthday?" He whispered to her. She was confused until she remembered what Bridgette had told her. Children of the miraculous holders are born with powers, especially if they are born on the kwami's birthday. The information was still fresh in her mind.
Hugo released her and a grey aura began to form around him. A portal opened up behind them.
"I'll see you guys soon," Hugo sadly smiled. "I love you." With his words, they were sucked back to their time as if nothing happened. Marinette sucked in a breath, still sitting on Luka's bed.
"Are you okay?" Luka asked worriedly.
"Y-yeah I'm fine," she chuckled awkwardly. Marinette ran into a bathroom to transform.
Adrien was still sitting with Kagami. "Did you find your parents?" He asked.
"What are you talking about?" I guess I'm the only one who remembers.
Adrien began to look around, making some excuse to leave quickly. They still had an Akuma to take care of. They still didn't know the identity of the new hawkmoth but they knew he was coming and they were prepared for the future.
