It's been officially a month today since I started this one-shot collection! I'm so thankful for everyone who has favorited and/or followed it means so much! I hope to keep working hard and updating every day until school comes along again. Sadly, once that time rolls around this will have to end, but enough of the sad stuff. Hopefully, I can keep the motivation going. Enjoy!

Marinette was in the Agreste Mansion. She sat in Adrien's old room, reminiscing about their childhood. The room was different than when they were in high school. His father had changed it into a guest bedroom. The books and is belongings were now at their own home. Emilie walked in, toting a glass.
Marinette stood to take it from her but Emilie laid a hand on her shoulder, pressing her back into the mattress.
"You're due any time now," Emilie smiled as she set down the juice. She sat next to Marinette, looking around the room.
It had been a few years since she was awakened. There were a few lasting effects since she'd been asleep for years but the guardians of the miraculous had a solution for any kwami related problems.
Marinette laid a hand on her protruding stomach, as she sipped the cranberry juice. For some reason the baby boy loved it.
A villain broke through the glass window, sending shattered glass flying into the room. Marinette shielded her eyes from the raining glass. Emilie tried to pull Marinette out of the room to safety. Gabriel rushed up the stairs when he heard screams.
He opened the door to Emilie fending off a villain. She was pushed into the far wall, books raining down around her. The villain grabbed Marinette, who struggled against their grasp as best she could. Gabriel ran towards the villain, holding onto Marinette's arm.
The villain dragged both of them towards the window. They used their staff to push Gabriel away. His grip on Marinette's hand slipped and with a smirk, the villain stepped off the window sill.
Gabriel and Marinette's eyes locked before they fell to the ground. He ran to look over the ledge. The villain landed on their feet, running too quickly for Gabriel to ever catch up.
Gabriel ran to Emilie's side helping her remove the books from her lap. She was crying not from pain but from frustration. He wished he could do the same, he wiped her tears before hugging her.

Chat Noir and Ladybird had just finished off a different villain. Ladybird cleansed the akuma and they fist-bumped. He zipped over the buildings landing on his front stoop. He stepped inside and transformed. He walked up the stairs, hoping to see his wife. What he walked into was a mess. His mother was on the floor, sobbing while Nathalie just hung up the phone. His father was comforting his mother.
"I've been calling you," Nathalie said worriedly.
"Where is Marinette?" he noticed the broken window, crouching next to his mother.
His mother looked into his eyes, tears falling as she struggled to get the words out, "She was captured by Hawkmoth."
His eyes widened, heart racing. He could only assume the worst. They had no idea where the new Hawkmoth was located. The only reason they would want Marinette was that she was carrying his child. He bit his lip hard enough to bruise. If they touched a hair on her head they'd be dead.
Adrien transformed into Chat Noir and jumped out the broken window, into the city once again. His family yelled after him but it fell on deaf ears. Ladybird who was headed to her own home saw Chat Noir back in action.
"Chat, what's wrong?" His face was a wall of anger and frustration, he was lost in thought.
"Chat?" She asked once again concerned.
"What?!" He yelled at her, startling her.
"Are you okay…?" She let out.
"No. I'm not okay. Marinette has been taken by Hawkmoth." He gritted out.
"That's horrible!" Ladybird tried to formulate an idea of what to do.
"You think I don't already know that," He hissed at her. He was obviously livid.
She let out a heavy breath, already overwhelmed by the information and his attitude. She left him alone. Ladybird did the only thing she could, got the miracle box, and went to gather the other heroes.
Chat didn't notice the akuma flutter towards him, entering the bell around his neck. "Chat Blanc," the voice called out in his head as his suit turned white.
"Finally," Chat smirked. Hawkmoth tried to take control of him. They blanched once they realized Chat Blanc was under his own control. "Once I find you Hawkmoth, you're dead."
Chat used his heightened sense of smell to find Marinette's scent. It was faint but he followed it. The villain had entered through the sewers. Chat followed the path underground until he reached the spot with the strongest smell. She had been here only minutes ago. He climbed up the tunnel, coming out in front of a home. He kicked the door down, entering inside. He was met with silence. He checked upstairs and found nothing, the house seemed unused. Another door caught his attention, it led to the basement.
Hawkmoths victim stood at the ready to attack as the handle jingled.
"I'll leave it to you," said Hawkmoth, leaving through a secret entrance.
Hawkmoth detransformed, leaving Lila sitting in their place. She ran from the building. She knew she was no match for Chat Blanc and the slew of other superheroes coming to her location. She could always find a new lair.
Chat Blanc busted down the door, it went flying into the villain, flattening them against the wall. Chat saw Marinette, whose hands and feet were tied. She had fabric covering her mouth as well.
The villain charged at Chat but he pinned him down with one arm. Just as he was about to cataclysm him into dust Marinette screamed in pain. Chat's attention broke from the villain who broke from his grasp and escaped. Chat ran up to Marinette. Her water had broken and she was breathing heavily.
He picked her up carefully in his arms as her contractions ended for now. As he came out of the building, all the other heroes were outside. Emilie who dawned the fixed peacock miraculous stepped closer. Chat Blanc growled at her.
She knew he wasn't under Hawkmoth's control but she hadn't expected him to be so angry. Everyone stayed away as he brought her to the nearest hospital. They followed behind.
The doctors rushed to her side, giving glances at the akumatized hero. He wasn't attacking them as they did their jobs but watched with a concerned judging eye. She screamed in pain as the contractions swelled again. Chat climbed into the bed next to her, holding her close, purring to help soothe her. She took deep breaths as they faded. Doctors didn't dare tell him to leave. After a few hours, she finally finished. A healthy baby boy was born.
The doctors handed Marinette the baby. She looked at him with tears in his eyes. He had green eyes just like Adrien but dark hair like hers. Chat Blanc looked at the tiny child with awe.
The nurse went to take the boy away for his shots. Chat snatched the baby from her arms, holding him close to his chest protectively. He kept the other arm over Marinette in an attempt to protect her. Their son began to cry in his father's arms. He purred trying to calm the boy, taking his attention off the rest of the room. Ladybird who had been waiting outside with the now transformed heroes stepped closer. Chat noticed and growled, scaring the baby once more.
"Chat… I'm okay now, we're okay," she smiled at her husband, laying a hand on his arm to calm him. Ladybird broke his bell cleansing the akuma. The baby reached for the flashing lights, excited by the colors. Chat Noir still held his son protectively but handed him over to the doctors now that he was in his right mind.
Marinette laid in bed, exhausted. Chat kissed Marinette's forehead. "I'm so sorry I lost control my love, and I'm so proud of you." He had tears in his eyes as his father and mother walked in. Soon the doctors brought the baby back and everyone got to hold him. That didn't mean Chat wasn't glaring at them the whole time though.
"What are you going to name him?" One person asked.
Chat and Marinette looked at each other and in unison smiled.
"Hugo."
