After the bath Adrien gently put Adrienne on the bed and checked her. "How is she doing now?" Fu asked.

"For now her fever went down but I don't know excidly what's wrong with her." Adrien replied.

"Well aren't you a doctor?" Fu asked.

"Yes but I have a doctorate in psychology and masters in ophthalmology but I have little knowledge in being a pediatrician." Adrien replied. "Fu please bring wet towels." Fu nodded and left the room.


"Was he able to lower her fever?" Marlena asked Fu over the phone in Mari's dressing room. "Well hopefully the doctor can help her right?...yes when Mari finds out she'll want to run over there...well let's prey for God to help her." Marlena hangs up.

Roland who heard everything from the doorway walked in. "What's going on Marlena."

"Adrienne is sick. It is unknown what she has but Fu says that she had a huge fever and it's going up and down. The doctor is trying to lower it because he says the fever can cause brain damage." Marlena replied.

"Oh so a doctor is already checking on her." Roland said not worried.

"Yes Dr. Agreste." Marlena replied.


Throughout the night Adrien would put wet towels on Adrienne to calm her fever while holding her. By this point Adrienne was crying irritated by her fever and Adrien would calm her down by singing or rocking her gently. He would always do that to Maya when she was sick as a baby and now he was taking care of Adrienne his second daughter.


Mari went back in her dressing room exhausted from the profermance. "Help me take this dress of Marlena so I can head home."

Marlena nodded before starting to help her. "Mari there's something you should know...Adrienne is sick and it's unknown what she has."

"WHAT!" Mari exclaimed and in a blink of an eye Mari was bursting in her room with Marlena and Roland behind her and hurried to the bed being face to face with Adrien. "What's wrong with her?"


Luka was walking in Adrien's house when Natalie walked over to him. "Mr. Couffaine I was waiting for you to give you an urgent message. A man called Simon called to let you know the baby is very sick."


"Let's go." Fu said leading Roland and Marlena out the room to leave Adrien and Mari alone.

"She was fighting for a long time especially because of her fever." Adrien stated.

"What does she have Adrien?" Mari asked worriedly. "Is she going to die?"

"No don't say that. It's probably a normal cold or a virus babies usually have like Roseola or the Chicken pox. Those usually start with a high fever." Adrien replied.

Feeling too close to Adrien Mari gently picked up Adrienne and moved back a bit. "She still feels warm."

Adrien nodded putting a wet towel on Adrienne's forehead. "The fever is trying to come up again it's important to control it because it can be dangerous if it's too high."


"What else did Simon say?" Luka asked.

"To go see the baby as soon as possible." Natalie replied.

"I'm on my way thanks for letting me know." Luka quickly left the house.


"Don't worry nothing bad will happen to her." Adrien stated. "I won't leave until she gets better."

"Poor thing but mommy is here now." Mari said looking at Adrienne.

"You should put her in her basket she'll be cooler that way." Adrien stated. Mari hesitated but Adrien was a doctor and he probably knew what was best so she got up and gently put Adrienne in her basket Adrien was behind her and for a spilt second it felt like they were a family.

Meanwhile the doorbell rang and when Fu opened the door Luka walked in. "How's Adrienne?"

"She's better." Fu replied nervously knowing that this wasn't going to end well.

Luka noticed Roland. "Well at least the father worried about her this time." With that he walked in Mari's room to see Adrien there. "What are you doing here?"


"And Luka also went to Mari's house?" Ruby asked Kagami who witnessed everything.

"Yes it seems like it but I don't understand why." Kagami replied.

"Kagami Mari and Luka's girlfriend is the same woman and I can't imagine the scene that will happen when Adrien and Luka see each other." Ruby stated.


"C'mon Fu we can't stay here and miss the scene that is about to happen." Roland said with a smirk.

"You are not family you have nothing to do there." Fu said as he and Marlena walked to the bedroom but Roland followed them anyway.

"By not finding me you should have called a pediatrician a kid's doctor." Luka said before walking over to Adrienne to check on her.

"That's not necessarily Luka I already did what had to be done for the moment." Adrien replied. "We just need to wait for other symptoms."

"I'm also a doctor Adrien and I want to check on her." Luka stated.

"I'm not here as a doctor." Adrien replied. "I'm here as Adrienne's father." Mari facepalmed looking away Roland smirked and Fu along with Marlena covered their faces. "Luka the daughter of." He looks over at Mari. "Mari is not of Roland Rople as you thought she's my daughter."


Sabine was still thinking about Adrienne with happiness. "My dear Mari has given me a granddaughter God has forgiven me by giving me the best. I'm so happy that I became a grandmother."


Luka laughed softly. "You the father of Adrienne. It's not time for jokes Adrien."

"I'm not joking Luka I'm her father." Adrien stated.

"That can't be." Luka looked over at Mari. "Iris say something."

"Like I said her name isn't Iris it's Mari." Adrien stated.

"Mari? Mari is the name of who was your wife." Luka replied.

"Excidly she was my wife." Adrien replied.

"Her Mari? No it can't be you became crazy." Luka looked over at Mari again. "Don't stay quiet Iris deny what Adrien said!"

Mari sighs. "I can't deny it Luka because everything that Adrien said is true."

Roland laughed. "This is the best scene ever from a chick flick or from the best soap opera."

"We have nothing to do here." Fu said pushing Roland away and Marlena followed.

"So it's true and you been lying to me both of you!" Luka exclaimed. "In a miserable way."

"There's no reason for you to offend her like that Luka you're accusing her wrongfully." Adrien stated.

"Oh so after everything you guys have done I don't have the right to protest!? Luka asked harshly. "She lied to me! She made me believe many things even that her name was Iris."

"It's not Mari's fault she felt obligated to do so because of the situation but she's not a miserable person." Adrien stated.

"Maybe she doesn't deserve that characteristic but you do!" Luka said harshly. "You who turns out to be the jerk of a husband who abandoned her."

"I didn't abandoned her. Ask her if I abandoned her." Adrien stated and at this point Mari was in-between them afraid that they would start a fight.

"She had to go to my ranch to find shelter. To protect herself under my roof." Luka replied.

"For your knowledge she was the one who abandoned me." Adrien stated. "She disappeared without me even knowing that she was pregnant."

"And why did she do it huh? Because there was another woman in your life a woman you were legally married to!" Luka replied.

"It was thought that Chloe was dead when I married Mari." Adrien stated.

"Well what about now? You are engaged to another woman about to marry Kagami Tsurugi." Luka replied.

"Kagami is not important right now what is important is what we were talking about." Adrien stated.

"Well it's important to me because Iris or Mari or whatever her name is was yours but now she's mine and I'll protect her from you and anyone else." Luka replied.

"That's enough!" Mari exclaimed. "I don't belong to none of you! Don't you realize that Adrienne is sick and your childish fighting is not helping her. I want both of you out from my room now!" Mari pushed them out even with their protests.

Outside Roland was having fun watching Adrien and Luka walking back and forth not speaking to each other and occasionally glaring at the other.

Mari soon ran to them. "Spots started to form on her body and it seems like she's itchy or something please help."

Back inside Adrien checked her. "It's chicken pox."

Even though Adrien already checked her Luka did the same thing. "Yup its chicken pox."

"Don't worry I'll give you medicine and a cream that will help." Adrien stated writing down on a paper everything she needed to know.

"I'll bring a good friend of mine that is a kid's specialist tomorrow." Luka stated.

"We don't need so many doctors. With the medication and cream Adrienne should be fine in two days." Fu stated.

"Yea we should let Mari rest it's really late." Marlena added. Luka nor Adrien wanted to go so Fu had to push them out.


At Adrien's house Luka walked up the stairs without say a word to Ruby and Kagami who were waiting for them. Adrien walked up to them. "How's Adrienne?" Ruby asked.

"She's fine it's the Chicken pox." Adrien replied.

"Well at least it wasn't anything dangerous. Well I'm going to bed goodnight." Ruby said before walking up the stairs.

"Are you okay? Ruby told me the whole story about how Luka knows Mari." Kagami stated.

"Yes everything is fine don't worry." Adrien replied. A little bit later Adrien was walking down a hallway when he saw Luka leaving his room with his suitcase. "You're leaving?"

"You think that I can stay here after knowing the truth?" Luka asked sarcastically.

"Are you going back to the ranch?" Adrien asked.

"No to a hotel don't think that just because I know the truth I'll give up on Iris. I still love her and If I do go back to the ranch it will be with her and Adrienne. Thank you for your hospitality." With that Luka walked away.


"I won't do the profermance tonight." Mari told Roland the next day.

"You think that I'll suspend the show? Of course not." Roland stated

"Than find someone to take my place but get this though your thick head nothing is more important than my daughter." Mari said sternly.

"It's only the Chicken pox every child gets it." Roland replied. "You will have to leave my apartment if you don't work for me tonight."

"Well she needs me and I'll be by her side I'm sorry that you don't like it now look for another actress." Mari replied. "You can have your apartment back when Adrienne is better I'm not taking her out when she's sick got it! Fu and I will just go back to our old house."

At that moment the doorbell rang and Roland sighed before going to open it. "I'm here to see Mari." Mari's heart stopped hearing Sabine's voice and soon she was face to face with her mother. "Dear."


"Do you know where mom is?" Lila asked Plagg.

"Of course I do Mrs. Sabine told Tikki that she was going to see Mari her daughter." Plagg replied loving to throw those words at the wannabe.

'This is her house Lila and no one else deserves the right to be here than her and her daughter Adrienne.'


"Parden me I have to go and Mari forget about everything I said earlier you know I have a hot temple I'll suspend the show you can't be replaced and you don't have to leave take care of Adrienne...well bye." With that Roland leaves the two women alone.

"I saw Adrienne yesterday and you can't imagine how big the excitement was seeing her." Sabine stated.

"You came yesterday and saw Adrienne? No one told me that." Mari replied.

"Well you must feel so proud as a mother. Adrienne is so beautiful and she looks so healthy." Sabine stated.

"Well not right now she's sick with the chicken pox." Mari replied.

"Oh I'm so sorry hopefully she gets better soon...Mari you are aware of who I am to you right?" Sabine asked softly. "I would assume so since you went to see Tom. I'm your mother."

"I know that you gave birth to me Mrs. Sabine but I don't consider you as a mother." Mari replied. "I don't want to hurt you anymore because what would be the point of that so please forgive me. Why do you keep insisting I know that you suffered an accident after trying to search for me at the theater and if that's true I'm so sorry that happened really but why do you come back and call me your daughter?"

"Because that's what you are my daughter." Sabine stated.

"Well you should see me as a stranger because that's what you are to me a stranger." Mari replied.

Sabine sighs. "Mari no mother wants to lose their daughter."

"Oh really many mothers get rid of their kids. That's why there's so many children in the orphanages and in the streets." Mari replied.

"Well there are mothers who give up their children with good intentions so they don't suffer." Sabine stated.

"Don't think that we have everything in the orphanage. There were times when we would fight for one piece of bread. The nuns would even starve for us to eat some even got sick for not eating because they gave up their food to feed us. We were so many abandoned forgotten and orphans to feed."

"But you weren't an ophan Mari." Sabine stated.

"That's what hurts me the most. That I had a father and mother nevertheless I was alone in the world." Mari replied. "Father Carlos told me your story so many times but I suffered the same thing and I kept fighting to be there for Adrienne for nothing in the world would keep me apart from her. I would be more grateful if you hold me in your arms and someone had to pull me away from you."

"You think that it didn't hurt me to give you up?" Sabine asked sadly. "I felt that the last piece of me was leaving with you."

"But you survived and you looked for me when it was too late." Mari replied. "You waited to look for me when there was no chance at all."

"Mari could you never forgive me?" Sabine asked.


"It bothers me how the street rat will be able to come and have everything that I earned." Lila said irritated.

"Well this is her place and hopefully Mrs. Sabine can convince Mr. Tom to accept her." Plagg said with a smirk.

"Sabine makes it seem that Tom is the one that makes all the discussions but it's really her that rules the house. If that streat rat thinks I'll make her living here easy than she's so wrong." Lila stated.


"I do forgive you Mrs. Sabine." Mari replied.

"Not like that Mari I need you to forgive me from the heart." Sabine stated.

"I really do forgive you with sincerely would you believe me that I even feel pity for you?" Mari asked.

"Well can that pity help you to accept me?" Sabine asked. "Like your mother. You can't imagine how much I want to hug you and be there for you when you need me. Can I give you a hug?"

Mari looked at Sabine before sighing. "I'm sorry Mrs. Sabine I wasn't raised by your side. Your arms didn't hold me when I cried because of fear. You never sang me a song to go to sleep. You never gave me a toy or told me a bedtime story. You weren't there when I said my first word when I took my first step when I wrote for the first time when my tooth fell for the first time. You didn't give me a reward when I earned it. You didn't punished me when I did something wrong. You didn't give me advice of love I learned all of that in the streets. Some things you know how. How could I care about you like my mother after all of that. You didn't give me anything. I did care about you as a mother when I lived in your house but you ruined it. You pushed me aside because that's what your husband wanted because who you did want and defend was the other one. Who I always thought was your daughter."

"Fine I'll leave Mari but I'll come back. I once lost you because of weakness this time it won't be the same. I'll come back no matter how many times you reject me. One day you'll realize how much I care about you." Sabine stated before leaving the house.


"You can't imagine how much I would want to see that." Lila told Roland over the phone after Roland told her what happened the night before.

"Adrien and Luka were both exploding with jealousy." Roland stated. "They were about to fight and they are supposedly best friends and Mari made it clear that she didn't belong to neither of them. Mari had to kick them out and since they didn't want to leave Fu had to push them out."

"I can't believe that two handsome cultured rich men are after the streat rat." Lila said irritated. Sabine walked in the house at that moment. "Have to go Sabine came back and I want to know what happened with the street rat." She hangs up.

"Where are you coming from?" Tom asked walking in the living room.

"From our daughter's house. She doesn't forgive me Tom." Sabine said in tears. "But I'll keep insisting she's my daughter. I'm responsible for her not accepting me or for being in her life."

"She shouldn't complain she had fun with her group of friends like Roland." Lila stated.

"But she suffered the most and its my fault." Sabine replied.

Tom sighs. "Even though I'm not fond of her I'll help you Sabine."

Sabine smiled. "Thank you Tom with your help I have more strength to keep fighting."


Ana walked over to Roland with the clothes for the profermance. "Good afternoon sir is Mrs Violet in her dressing room?"

"No Ana she isn't here the rehearsal and the profermance is canceled. Violet doesn't want to give it because her daughter Adrienne is sick with the chicken pox." Roland replied.

"Oh that's to bad but at least she's taking care of her that's the important part." Ana stated.


"You don't have to worry Iris the specialist said it is minor chicken pox." Luka said before sighing. "I'm sorry for still calling you Iris it's hard calling you Mari after hearing that name from Adrien's mouth with love and pain."

"With love? Yea right." Mari said sarcastically. "What love Adrien doesn't love me. He's about to marry another woman. Do you want a bigger proof that he doesn't love me?"

"What if Adrien loved you more than anything?" Luka asked. "What would you do Mari."

"He told you that he loves me?" Mari asked.

"I asked you a question don't answer with another one." Luka stated.

"Well if he's going to marry the tutor that means that he doesn't love me but her." Mari replied.

"Than you don't love him either because you were going to marry me." Luka stated.

"Maybe you're right Luka but I don't understand anything right now." Mari replied. "I'm so confused everyone that is in my side shows me their love or that's what it seems I feel empty inside. I don't know who I love Luka." Luka nodded before leaving the house.

Later Mari was giving Adrienne her medicine in the room when Adrien walked in. "How did she spend the night?"

"Badly but she's better now." Mari replied.

"How was her fever? Did it rise?" Adrien asked.

"No luckily not. Now why did you come?" Mari asked.

"I told you that I would come back." Adrien replied.

"It's not necessarily a doctor already came and you aren't a kid's specialist." Mari stated.

"But I'm her father." Adrien replied.

"Just forgot about that." Mari stated.

"I don't want to Mari and I can't." Adrien replied.

"You have Maya your other daughter and you'll start a new life with Kagami. Adrienne and I don't fit in that life so just leave us alone." Mari replied.

"You and Adrienne can never be apart from my life because I love you both with all my heart." Adrien said stroking Mari's cheek. "Believe it or not Mari I'm still in love with you."
