Mari was at the hospital about to visit Fu when she suddenly felt dizzy and collapse to the floor. A security guard went to her and picked her up bride style to take her to the ER. When Mari woke up, she found herself in a hospital bed, and a doctor was next to her bed writing something on a clipboard. "What's wrong with me doctor?"
The doctor looked at her. "Are you married?"
Mari nodded. "Yes but I'm getting a divorce."
"You can't now that you are pregnant." The doctor replied and Mari quickly sat up looking at him in shock.
"No no no I'm still getting a divorce." Mari said quickly.
"You shouldn't since you're pregnant." The doctor stated softly.
"Is that why I fainted?" Mari asked.
The doctor nodded. "Yes you are around two weeks pregnant. Now take good care of yourself see your doctor at least once a month and that will depend on you having a happy pregnancy and labor and your baby should be born safe and sound." The doctor smiles shaking her hand. "Congratulations future mother." Mari smiled softly still not getting the idea of her being pregnant in her head.
Lila gently shakes Adrien up. "Adrien." Adrien wakes up and looks at her confused. "I have a surprise for you follow me." She grabs his hand and pulls him up before leading him upstairs.
Meanwhile in Maya's room, Maya was playing with Teddy as Emilie sat on her bed watching them with a smile. " Isn't my puppy so cute!" Maya asked happily.
"Yes he is but remember that Mari brought him to you not Lila." Maya nodded and continued to play with Teddy.
At that moment, Adrien and Lila walked in the room, and Adrien was surprised to see Teddy there. "How is this possible?" He asked as he went besides Maya with a smile.
"I brought the dog to her; I thought she needed him, so I went to get him no matter the cost." Lila replied, and Emilie frowned at her lie.
Adrien looked at her confused. "Mari gave him to you?"
"Well I had to beg her then I offered money, and since she needs it; she sold him to me, but the important thing is that Maya is happy." Lila replied. Emilie stood up and walked to a corner of the room with crossed arms.
Adrien stood up. "Thank you Lila."
"My pleasure." Lila smiled but then frowned. "I couldn't talk much with Mari, but I can assure you that Mari declared against you." Emilie covered her mouth in shock that Lila said such a lie.
After hearing the big news Mari walked home without seeing Fu since she needed fresh air. "The doctor told me I couldn't get a divorce, but I don't want to stay married to...him and I can't tell Fu because he will have another heart attack, and the guilt will stay in my conscious." Mari sighs putting her hands on her stomach.
"Will you believe that Mari sold the dog to Lila?" Adrien asked Edward as they walked to Adrien's clinic.
"Well, the important part is that Maya is happy." Edward replied.
"You're right but I'm disappointed that Mari was willing to sell the dog and deny her pension." Adrien replied with a sigh. "Than again she was willing to declare against me not caring that Maya was in between."
That night Mari was making some teas when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
Roland walked in leaving the door open. "I came to bring you this." He hands her a script. "It's the script of the movie it's called Miraculous Love. The female lead is just like you. We will be working hard on it until you can do her part, but I'm sure you can." Mari nodded.
A week has passed, and Adrien was playing with Maya and Teddy in the back yard. "Daddy where's Grandma Audrey I haven't seen her."
"Grandma Audrey went on a trip." Adrien replied.
"She doesn't like Teddy." Maya replied, and Adrien nodded petting the dog. "You know what daddy Mari brought Teddy here."
Adrien shakes his head. "No dear it was Lila."
"No daddy it was Mari." Maya said with a huge smile.
"I'll achieve my goal, I'll make this girl from the streets into an elegant young lady. Take her and bathe her." Roland said pointing at Mari, who was sitting on a chair.
Mari stood up glaring at him. "Who do you think I am?"
"No one go so they can bathe you." Roland replied.
Mari sighs. "Roland you are tiring me out this week."
"Let's start from the beginning." Roland replied and Mari slowly nodded.
"I talked to your doctor in two days your bandages will be taken off." Adrien told Ruby with a smile.
Ruby nodded happily. "Hay Adri do you think I can go home until my next plastic surgery?"
"I think so we need to ask your doctor." Adrien replied.
"Mari hasn't come lately have you seen her?" Ruby asked.
"No and I don't want to see her. Mari declared against me during the trail." Adrien stated bitterly.
"That's not true Mari declared in your favor, she told me so herself." Ruby replied.
"She lied to you. Mari declared against me; she told Lila." Adrien replied.
After Adrien left Ruby's room, he bumped into Father Carlos. "Dr. Agreste I'm glad to see you. I was planing to call you. I know the demand your mother in law made to take your daughter's custody away from you. How did it go?"
"Good the judge declared in my favor my daughter will stay with me." Adrien replied. "Even though Mari declared against me."
Father Carlos sighs. "You need to forgive her; you know Marinette is an innocent-"
"Inocent? What she did was mischievous." Adrien replied.
"It's my fault Marinette had to say the truth I always told her that." Father Carlos replied.
"Mari did it for revenge. She had no problem lying before, but now she didn't lie to harm me." Adrien replied harshly.
"I'm sorry you think that way." Father Carlos said sadly. "I was hoping a miracle would happen and you two would get back together, but it seems impossible."
Adrien shook his head. "It doesn't seem impossible father...it is impossible."
Mari sat on her bed putting her hands on her stomach and thinks about what the doctor told her a week ago before smiling sadly. "A kid...I'm going to have a kid who won't have a father. It must be like when my mom got pregnant with me, but I won't give my child away like she did. I'll protect it even if it costs my life." Mari smiled brighter and looked down at her stomach before remembering her wedding day with sadness.
The next-day Mari and Roland went to the mall to buy the clothes she will need for the movie. "Mari we need to hurry with the shopping we have an appointment with your hair stylist and then an appointment with your make up artist and finally your lesson for manners."
"Do all actresses need to deal with this stuff?" Mari asked.
Roland chuckled. "Yes but especially you since well...you know with how you behave."
Mari laughed. "After 22 years of being how I am I doubt I'll learn anything and much less everything in two days."
"You'll see now we need clothes when your character goes from vague to elegant. When she's vague you can just wear the clothes you always do." Roland said with a laugh as Mari punches him on the arm playfully.
They shop for a while until they find the perfect dress once they brought it; they left the store, and Mari bumped into someone who was on the phone. "I'm sorry-" She stops when she realised it was Edward.
Edward looks at her surprised hanging up his phone. "Mari? What are you doing with this man?"
"Why do you care?" Roland asked answering for Mari.
"I know who you are Roland." Edward replied sternly.
"I also know who you are the boyfriend Elsa dumped to marry my friend Michael." Roland replied with a smirk.
Edward was about to punch him, but Mari stops him going in between the two. "No please don't fight."
"What are you doing with him Mari?" Edward asked. "Have you forgotten what kind of man that he is?"
"She won't tell you anything. First because she doesn't want to and second it's not your business." Roland stated. "Let's go Mari." He grabs her arm and basically drags her away.
Mari frees her arm. "Thanks for not telling him why I'm with you."
"Well we did agree to keep it a secret until the right moment." Roland replied.
"I just hope he doesn't tell Adrien." Mari whispered.
Edward walks in Adrien's office. "Do you know who I found at the mall? That director Roland and guess who was with him? Mari." Adrien stands up shocked.
Nino walked in Fu's house. "Hey Fu, where's Mari?"
"I don't know, since I came out of the hospital, I have barely seen her in the house" Fu replied.
At that moment, Mari enters the house. "Hey Nino how are you?"
"Good waiting for you to tell me your secret" Nino replied.
"You are telling me that Mari was with Roland, are you sure?" Adrien asked.
"Yes I am sure" Edward replied. "Mari was coming out from a store at the mall with him."
"What is she doing with that guy?" Adrien asked irritated.
"That's what I asked her, but she didn't reply. She barely said a single word. Nevertheless they were carrying a lot of bags." Edward stated.
Adrien sighed. "It seems like Mari forgotten what that guy did to her."
'Could it be that Nino knows that I'm pregnant, but only I know that.' Mari looks at Nino sheepishly "I don't know what secret you are talking about."
"The secret you have been hiding from Fu and I that involves you owning a lot of money." Nino replied.
"Oh that secret well that's a secret that I can't tell you yet." Mari said with a soft smile.
"Are you jealous Adrien?" Edward asked.
"Me, jealous, of course not, I don't care about Mari anymore" Adrien replied. "However, she is still my wife, and she needs to respect Mari thinks she will make a fool of me. She is wrong. I will not let her."
Nino sees that Mari was holding something. "What's that?" He took it before running in circles around the table since Mari started chasing him as he looked through the papers. "It looks like a script to a TV show or a movie."
"Fine!" Mari stops chasing him. "It's a script for a movie. I'm going to be the female lead, in other words, I'm going to be an actress."
"What?!" Fu and Nino exclaimed at the same time in surprise.
Mari took the script from Nino's hands. "How do you like the surprise?"
"Who told you that you could be an actress?" Nino asked amused.
"Well who else the director Roland," Mari replied and both Fu and Nino were even more surprised.
"And you trust him?" Fu asked concern.
"Well as a man no but as a director yes. It doesn't hurt to try plus he knows not to mess with me. I need to find a good path in life for you Fu for me for...well you guys get it." Mari looks at the time. "I only came for a while, but I need to go back to rehearsal see ya." Mari waves and walks away.
"Pay attention before you start speaking you need to do a pause." Roland said during the rehearsal. "Meaning you stay quiet for a moment. The two leads stare at each other like this." Roland stares deeply at Mari's eyes and pulled Mari closer to him, but Mari starts to pull back. "It's only acting Mari." Mari sighs and lets him pull her closer. "A moment of silence...looking at each other with love..." Mari giggled. "Focus Mari...Words are not needed everything is said by your look."
At that moment, they heard clapping and when they turn to look who it was they saw Adrien. "Wow how cute I'm sorry to interrupt such a romantic scene." He said sarcastically as he walked over to them. "I knew this was happening."
"You knew?!" Mari walks in between the two man. "But I thought we were doing a good job keeping it a secret."
"Some things can't stay a secret Mari." Adrien said sternly.
"It just that Roland and I wanted it to be a surprise." Mari explained.
Adrien raises an eyebrow. "A surprise? I don't see anything great about this for it to be a surprise."
"Agreste what are you referring to exactly?" Roland asked.
"You still got the guts to ask? Isn't it obvious? 'Words are not needed everything is said by your look' you guys were going to kiss." Adrien replied.
"WHAT?!" Mari yelled.
"And what if we were?" Roland asked challenging him.
"Mari is still my wife." Adrien looks at Mari. "You are still married to me."
"Yea in the process of divorce." Roland reminded him.
"When she's free she can do anything she wants, but until then I don't want her to do that." Adrien looks at Mari. "I forbid you to see him again."
"I'm not doing anything wrong." Mari replied.
"It's not wrong to kiss another guy while still married?" Adrien asked harshly.
"Think whatever you want I don't care." Mari said crossing her arms.
"You're just jealous Agreste that Mari is with me." Roland said teasing him.
Mari glares at Roland. "That's not true-"
"I can't be jealous of a guy like you plus." Adrien looks at Mari. "I'm not interested in you anymore."
"If you aren't interested in me anymore. Why are you here?" Mari asked hiding the hurt in her voice.
"Just leave Agreste you have nothing to do here." Roland added.
Adrien took a step back then was about to punch Roland but Mari goes in fount of him. "No please don't hurt him." Mari said with a soft voice.
Adrien looks down at her. "You're defending him? Wow you used to be happy when I protected you from him and now you're protecting him from me? Wow."
"Please just leave." Mari replied looking down.
Adrien turns to walk away but turns back to face her. "Oh and for your consent, my daughter wasn't taken from me. She stays with me." With that he leaves. Mari looks down remembering that she was carrying his child inside of her.
Sabine and Isabella were at the dining table as Sabine was making candy bags for the girls of the orphanage, and Isabella was just drinking tea. "So Audrey went to live with her sister." Isabella said continuing their conversation. "She came to the house and told Lila to make sure Maya doesn't forget about her."
"I think it's good the kids learn to love and not act like adults who sometimes act of hatred." Sabine replied.
Isabella nodded. "That's true take Lila, for example, even though she was abandoned as a child, she is full of kindness every day."
Sabine looks over at Isabella. "Isabella how old is Lila?" Isabella freezes at hearing that.
"Adrien thinks I teamed up with Audrey to take Maya away from him!" Mari complains to father Carlos when she visited him.
Father Carlos nodded. "He's convinced of that."
"Fine let him think that it's better if he loses interest in me." Mari said crossing her arms.
Later as Mari was walking down the sidewalk, she suddenly sees Adrien walking over to her, and she stops walking in surprise. "I couldn't tell you all you deserved a while ago, but now I will." He said harshly once he was in fount of her.
