"Relax and rest." Adrien added and Chloe leaned back on her chair as she kept her eyes on the metronome and slowly she starts closing her eyes before she falls asleep. "Chloe can you hear me?" He asked making sure she was asleep and she was. "Chloe we will have an important talk. I need to know everything that happened when you were miss-"
At that moment Chloe's phone rang waking her up. "What happened?" Chloe asked rubbing her eyes.
"Your phone." Adrien replied with a sigh before turning the metronome off and sitting on his chair across from her.
"Right." Chloe grabs her phone that was on the table and answers it. "Hello?"
"It's me Chloe Lila. I have great news to tell you the street rat is about to give birth." Lila said on the other line and Chloe smiled. "Roland was informed and he went there to make sure that Scorpion does his job."
"I would love to." Chloe said since Adrien was watching her.
"Let me guess you're not alone. Adrien?" Lila asked.
"Excidly." Chloe replied.
"Than I'll leave you alone." Lila stated before hanging up.
"Who was it?" Adrien asked.
"Lila she wanted to invite me to a fashion show." Chloe replied before standing up. "Well I'll leave now."
Adrien stands up. "Chloe we were going to talk."
"But I need to get ready for the fashion show...unless you want to take me somewhere." Chloe stated with a smile.
"Chloe you're sick." Adrien reminded her.
"Of amnesia but that doesn't stop me from wanting to have fun." Chloe replied. "Plus didn't you want the tension between us to go away and wanted us to get along? Going out together could be beneficial."
"Where do you want to go?" Adrien asked.
"Wherever you want to take me." Chloe replied.
Adrien sighs. "Fine get ready and we'll go out." Chloe smirked and left the room. "She's making fun of me but two can play that game." Adrien said sternly.
"When do want to go home?" Max asked Ruby.
"Right now." Ruby replied.
"Well before I leave I'll give the clear so you can go back to your family tomorrow." Max stated.
"Tomorrow?" Ruby asked with excitement and Max nodded. "Thank you for everything doctor." Max smiled before leaving the room.
Alix who was in the room the whole time walked over to the bed. "Congrats Ruby you finally get to leave."
"It seems like a lie Alix. I'll call Adrien right now and you can help me get ready to leave tomorrow!" Ruby said happily.
"You know what people are calling your baby here? Little Viperion." Fu told Mari with a laugh but Mari only stares at him. "Relax they don't think Viperion is the father its because your baby will be born here. Anyway how would you want to name your baby?"
"Well...if it's a boy I would like to name him after his father Adrien." Mari replied with a soft smile. "But that could be more proof that it's his child."
"And if it's a girl?" Fu asked.
"If its a girl I might call her Emma." Mari replied with a smile.
Soon Fu left Mari's room for a moment and Mari starts thinking about Adrien. "Adrien if the baby is a boy his name should be Adrien it would be selfish of me to not give him something about his father."
Juleka walked in the room. "How do you feel?"
"Better Juleka." Mari replied.
"Enaugh to receive a visitor?" Juleka asked.
"Who came?" Mari asked curiously and fearful that it was Adrien.
"Your friend that came last time. The so called Roland." Juleka replied. "So will you receive him?"
Mari sighs but nods. "Yes Juleka."
"Do you want him to come here?" Juleka asked.
"No I'll go to the living room." Mari said as she slowly got up from her bed and walked to the living room.
Meanwhile Roland was in the phone with Isabella. "Yes I know that its 2 in the morning over there but I had to call you to let you know that Mari hasn't gone in labor yet not until two weeks from now."
"Two weeks?" Isabella asked frustrated. "Are you sure Roland?"
"Yes I was just told that plus two weeks will come by fast." Roland replied. "The only bad thing is that in two weeks the so called Viperion can be back from his trip and then it can be more difficult."
"And everything was going so well for us." Isabella said irritated.
"Isabella tell Lila." Roland sees Mari walking over to him. "Yes I'll call the producer for the new program bye." He hangs up. "How do you feel?"
"Good." Mari replied with a smile.
"I was told by the young woman that you felt bad earlier and they thought you were going in labor." Roland stated.
"It was nothing so why are you here?" Mari asked.
"To check on you and to talk." Roland replied.
"Well I also wanted to talk to you and ask you about the people." Mari stated. "Do you know anything about Adrien?"
"No I don't have contact with Agreste." Roland replied. "But I know that he is okay from the theater group that always visit his sister Ruby."
"Yes of Ruby Maya and Teddy I know about." Mari stated. "Maya is so pretty when she smiles she looks a lot like Adrien. I wonder if my baby will look like him. I once went to tell Adrien about the baby and I told Maya I was going to bring her a little brother or sister. I hope she hasn't told Adrien."
"Adrien must be to busy with his wife to pay attention to that." Roland replied. "So do you think that by the time your baby is born the owner of the ranch will be back?"
"I don't know but I hope so." Mari stated. "In the beginning I was afraid of him but then after he found out that I was pregnant he became sweeter too me."
"And he'll assist you during labor?" Roland asked.
"He said no but I'm sure that when the time is here he will." Mari replied.
"Well than I can go relaxed." Roland stated.
Mari nodded. "Thank you for worrying about me."
"Don't forget I expect you to be an actress after you give birth." Roland replied.
"I don't know if I'll be able to since I want to dedicate my time to my baby." Mari stated.
"Don't worry Iris the baby won't be a bother for you." Roland replied.
The next morning in Paris Chloe walked to the kitchen. "Is breakfast ready?"
Natalie nodded. "Yes but Mr. Adrien hasn't come down yet."
"Adrien and I will have breakfast in our room we came home late last night and we still want to rest. Bring breakfast upstairs when its ready." Chloe stated.
Natalie nodded. "Yes Mrs. Chloe."
Chloe headed upstairs again and she came across Kagami who was headed to Maya's room. "I want to talk with you." Chloe said sternly.
"But Mrs. Chloe Maya is waiting for me-" Kagami started.
"First we need to talk. Your attitude has me intrigated. The other day I saw you looking at me in an odd way as if you were threatening me. Have you been suffering from psychological problems?" Chloe asked.
"I have always been a sane and balanced person." Kagami replied.
"Well something is going on with you why don't you tell me?" Chloe asked
"I have nothing to hide." Kagami replied.
"There's something I don't like about you and I don't like you taking care of my daughter. Now I can decide in this issue now that I have taken back my place." Chloe said harshly before walking away.
Adrien opened his eyes and sat up in his bed...wait this wasn't his bed! He looked around and saw that he was in Chloe's room...he looked down and saw that he was shirtless...
At that moment Chloe walked in the room and sat next to Adrien on the bed. "I told the servants to bring us breakfast in bed."
"What happened last night Chloe?" Adrien asked fearfully.
"What happens between a man and woman when they are married." Chloe replied. "Its only normal in a marriage."
Adrien's heart stopped. "That can be." He got off from the bed put his clothes back on and left the room.
Maya went to the secret garden in a hurry. "Grandma Emilie!" Maya hugs Emilie.
"Maya you scared me what are you doing here so early?" Emilie asked worriedly.
"No one pays attention to me." Maya said sadly. "Starting with my mom who never pays attention to me."
"I think you're exaggerating. Everyone in this house care for you." Emilie stated.
"Not true mommy doesn't even know how I am. She doesn't even let Kagami go to my room to help me get dressed or accompany me to breakfast like she has done since she got here." Maya's replied sadly.
"Look dear I already told you that you need to be patient with your mom. Do you promise me that you'll be patient?" Maya slowly nodded. "Don't worry so much you'll see that everything will go back to how they're supposed to be."
"Could it be true Adrien?" Edward asked Adrien who was currently pacing back and forth in his office.
"I don't know Edward she says yes but I say no." Adrien replied.
"You need to know Adrien try to remember." Edward stated.
"I tried all I remember is going to dinner and you know that I don't even drink I had soda. By the end of dinner I didn't feel well so we took a taxi to be safe...and I helped Chloe who was drunk go to her room...that's all I remember." Adrien replied. "And I woke up in her bed."
"Well in that case you need to accept the confirmed facts Adrien. You need to accept Chloe as your wife in every sense of the word." Edward stated. "And live with her like any other normal marriage."
"How could you think that I would return with Chloe as if nothing happened." Adrien exclaimed.
"You been married to her for years." Edward replied.
"I had to deal with her because I felt obligated but now after seeing Mari and loving her I can't pretend to love another woman." Adrien stated with a sigh.
"I was thinking could Chloe have planned this?" Edward asked.
"She could've it's more likely that she did but I don't know how." Adrien replied.
"I suppose Adrien must be happy." Lila told Chloe after Chloe told her about what happened last night. Lila came to visit her to tell her the bad news that Mari didn't go in labor yet.
"Well he doesn't remember anything." Chloe replied.
"You don't say so it still needs to be confirmed that its true." Lila stated with a smirk.
"Are you assuming that I'm lying?" Chloe asked.
"Well you are a master in that." Lila stated.
"Well you are wrong everything I told you is true. Adrien became my husband in every sense of the word." Chloe replied.
Mari was on her bed in the dark holding her baby when she suddenly saw shadows surrounding her. She hold her baby close as her sheets were pulled off her and she saw that her legs were chained to the bed and she couldn't move. The shadows started to try to take her baby and Mari tried to hold tight begging them to not take her baby but the shadows were able to take the baby away...
Mari woke up screaming sitting up and she started crying putting her hands on her stomach. Soon Fu rushed in the room asking her what was wrong and Mari told him her nightmare. "Shadows tried to take my baby and I couldn't stop them I tried to fight back but it was for no use." Mari was still in tears.
Fu hugged her. "There there it was just a nightmare everything is in the past."
Mari pulled away. "No Simon everything is not in the past my nightmare wasn't just a dream it was more like a warning that something bad is going to happen."
"I think that you are just worried that Viperion hasn't come back from his trip." Fu stated. "And he isn't here to protect you. Stay calm Juleka and I are here to keep an eye on you."
Mari nodded. "You're right."
"I'll bring your breakfast here. Now just stay calm." Fu kissed Mari's forehead before leaving the room. Mari tried to calm down but couldn't stop crying. Soon Fu came back with her food. "Now eat up." Mari slowly nodded and started eating. "Besides the nerves from your nightmare how do you feel? Have you felt any pain?"
"Not right now." Mari replied. "Is anything known about Viperion?" Fu shook his head no. "He has taken longer than expected. Do you think he will be back in two weeks?"
Fu shugged. "Who knows."
"I hope so I'm more afraid everyday. I think that if Viperion isn't here by the time my baby is born something wrong will happen." Mari stated. "Why do you think he's taking so long?"
"Well I heard that there was a problem and that's why his trip lasted more than a month." Fu replied.
"I don't think he'll be back by the time I give birth and I'm afraid something bad will happen." Mari replied.
"There's a lot of man in the ranch." Fu stated.
"Not like Viperion I feel like he's the only one that can defend me." Mari replied.
"Defend you from what?" Fu asked.
"I don't know." Mari replied.
"We might get a surprise and in any moment now Viperion returns." Fu stated with a smile.
Adrien was walking back to his room when he came across Natalie and another maid holding his clothes. "Good evening sir."
"Good evening where are you taking those clothes?" Adrien asked.
"The room of Mrs. Chloe which used to be the room of both of you." Natalie replied. "She ordered us to take all of your things back in her room."
"No Natalie please put all of those clothes back where they were." Adrien stated and Natalie nodded before walking back to Adrien's room with the other maid. Adrien walked in Chloe's room where she was talking with her mom. "Why are my clothes being brought here?"
"I ordered them to be brought here you can't be sleeping here while your things are in another room." Chloe replied.
"I want all my things to be taken back to my room they're my things." Adrien stated.
"They're already here and they'll stay." Chloe exclaimed.
Audrey stood up from the bed. "I'll leave you guys alone so you can talk it out." Audrey leaves the room.
Chloe also stood up. "Why are you acting like this? I thought that after what happened last night everything would go back to normal between us."
"No Chloe it can't be since I'm not sure what you said happened last night actually happened." Adrien replied sternly. "And if it did happen than it was unwillingly and it would be for one time only since I assure you that it won't happen again."
"But why do you regret it? You know I was thinking that Maya deserves to be a big sister." Chloe replied with a smile.
"Let's make a deal Chloe I'll do my best to make our marriage go to normal if you let yourself be given the treatment of hypnosis." Adrien stated.
Chloe crosses her arms. "That's blackmail Adrien."
"Nothing can be recreated under a false base. You're sick and I want you to get cued." Adrien replied. "Just think about it."
"Did you talk with the street rat?" Isabella asked Roland.
Roland nodded. "Yes everyday she trusts me even more."
"Than we can confirm that the plan is still on?" Isabella asked and Roland nodded.
"Natalie!" Ruby exclaimed hugging Natalie. Adrien just brought her back home from the hospital.
Natalie hugged back. "Welcome back Miss. Ruby."
Ruby broke the hug. "What did you do to yourself you look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you."
Adrien smiled. "Natalie please take Ruby's things to her room."
Natalie nodded. "It would be my pleasure." Natalie took Ruby's stuff upstairs.
Chloe was walking down the stairs at that moment. "Chloe I can't believe it." Ruby hugs her.
"I'm glad about your recovery." Chloe said not returning the hug.
Ruby broke the hug. "I see that you don't remember me but I'm glad you came back well from the plane crush."
"Please forgive me for acting strange around you but its enough that you're Adrien's little sister for me to learn to care for you." Chloe replied.
"Where's Maya?" Ruby asked Adrien.
"Her tutor took her to the park since she was a bit unstable." Adrien replied and Ruby nodded before heading upstairs.
"I want to talk with you." Chloe told Adrien and Adrien nodded. "It has to do with Maya's tutor. I'm going to fire her today. That woman isn't right in the head. There's something about her that I'm afraid of."
Adrien laughed. "Afriad? That's absurd. If it was from another person I could've believed you but not from Miss. Kagami she's the most kindness sensitive person that I have ever met."
"Well I still don't want her in my house." Chloe replied.
"Well I still want her to stay." Adrien said sternly.
Later Adrien was in the library when Lila walked in. "So what did you want to talk about?"
"Why do you tell my wife things she shouldn't know?" Adrien asked.
"You're talking about the Japanese woman." Lila stated.
"No I'm talking about what happened with Mari a few years ago." Adrien replied.
"What but I didn't tell her about that someone else must have told her." Lila stated.
"I don't believe you." Adrien replied.
Lila raises an eyebrow. "Why don't you believe me? Don't you think I can keep a secret? I have always proven that I am loyal to you Adrien. Actually I'll tell you something."
Adrien nodded. "Go on."
"I know where Mari is." Lila said sternly.
That evening in California Mari was putting some baby toys that were given to her in a basket when she heard her bedroom door open she looked over to see who it was and she couldn't believe who she saw. "You?" Mari stood up. "Is it really you?" Mari gave the person a hug. "You're back."
"How are you feeling Iris?" Luka asked returning the hug.
"Better now that you are back." Mari replied before breaking the hug.
"I found out that you felt bad yesterday." Luka stated. "Juleka told me that it was thought you would go in labor early so I came to see myself how you were doing."
"Well I did have pain and I was worried but they suddenly went away and a doctor came and checked me and told me I was fine and that it was good that I didn't go to the hospital and I just needed to rest-" Mari rambled. "...Sorry I'm rambling."
Luka smiled. "No continue tell me everything."
"Well that's it." Mari replied with a smile. "Though I couldn't believe that it was you who was by my door I thought I was dreaming."
"I couldn't stay away from this place any longer Iris. I had this feeling that told me that I had to come back as soon as possible. Like as if I wouldn't find something I left here if I didn't come back right away." Luka stated softly. "Like something bad was going to happen."
