After Kagami left Mari sat on a couch and busted in tears. "Teddy." She thinks about all the good memories she had of Teddy. "Maya." She thinks about all the good times with Maya. "Ruby." She thinks about all the good times with Ruby. "That house...Adrien." she thinks about all the good times with Adrien. "That's all in the past now like a lost memory...it's time to say goodbye to everything. Goodbye forever."


Today was a special day Emma was one now and being the mother Mari had to be happy. It wasn't hard to forget about her meeting with Kagami she just had to think about how in the last few months Emma learned to crawl said her first word which to the joy of Mari it was mama and she even took her first step though she couldn't actually walk yet. Now as all the guests for the party arrived she couldn't be more happier.

"Well first I want to introduce you guys to someone." Mari told the whole room before gesturing to Ana. "This is Ana Roland's assistant and sometimes she's my make up artist. Over the months we have become good friends. Thoes are my friends for years now Alix Roxie and Elsa." Mari told Ana gesturing to the three young women.

"Nice to meet you." Ana told them and they greeted back with a smile.

"And this is Nino he's like a brother to me." Mari said putting Nino's shoulder. "And that's his mother." Gestures to his mother. Ana smiled and greeted them as they greeted her back. "I'm so glad to see you again Nino I really did miss talking to you."

"Well I'm glad to be at your daughter's birthday party so what name did you finally decide for her?" Nino asked.

"Well Emma." Mari replied.

"Just Emma?" Roxie asked and Mari nodded.

"Well since everyone is officially here I should probably announce the official name for Ad...Emma." Father Carlos stated.

"Wait Ruby isn't here yet and as the aunt she should be present when Father Carlos announces the name." Elsa replied.

"No Ruby doesn't even know about this party since I didn't invite her." Mari stated.

"Okay her official name is-" Father Carlos started.

At that moment Mathew walked in with Ruby by his side and Mari was surprised to see her. "I was going to tell you but Father Carlos interrupted us." Elsa whispered in Mari's ear.

"But I didn't tell her anything." Mari whispered back.

Ruby walked over to Mari. "I know that you didn't invite me but I still came. If you don't want me here that's fine let me just say happy birthday to my niece and give her the present I got her before leaving."

"Of course I want you here Ruby I just didn't tell you anything so Adrien wouldn't find out-" Mari started but at that moment Adrien walked in the house.


"So what's new?" Lila asked Roland over the phone. "How are things with Mari?"

"Good she came back to the theater months ago." Roland replied.

"If she went back to the theater that means the little streat rat didn't die." Lila stated.

"No today is actually her birthday and Mari planned a party for her at the apartment and I can assure you that her father Adrien Agreste will be there." Roland replied.


Father Carlos took Emma from Mari gently. "Now that everyone is here let me introduced to you all to Adrienne Emma Agreste Dupain." Everyone clapped happily though Mari's friends were confused since the name didn't match to what Mari said like 5 minutes ago.

Mari was to distracted by seeing Adrien that she didn't pay attention to what Father Carlos just said. When Father Carlos gave Adrienne back to her Adrien kissed Adrienne's forehead wished her a happy birthday and gestured to the present he got for her to Mari before putting it on the table with presents before walking away without saying another word.


"Plagg have you seen Tom?" Sabine asked Plagg.

"No Mrs. Sabine he hasn't come back." Plagg replied.

"Okay I'll leave now I'll talk to him later." Sabine stated.

Lila walked over to her. "Let me guess you're going to look for Mari. You know something so you're going to see her today."

"Like what? Do you know something that I should?" Sabine asked.

Lila shook her head no. "No but what if dad finds out?"

"You can tell him if you want it's no secret. I assure you that Tom is now accepting that I go see my daughter and soon he'll be doing the same." With that Sabine walks away.


Mari took Father Carlos to the side. "Can you explain to me why Adrien came? What for anyway I didn't want him to be here."

"He's her father Marinette." Father Carlos replied.

"Maybe by blood but not by love and not even by word because she'll never call him dad." Mari stated. "She won't even know Adrien is her father."

"You won't be able to avoid that she'll one day know the truth." Father Carlos replied.

"If I have to take her away than I'll do that." Mari stated. "But Adrien won't torment me or ruin her childhood because she's mine and she'll have my last name the name I was given in the orphanage. She will only have her mother and that's all she needs."

"Marinette you need to accept that he's the father." Father Carlos replied. "There's something you seem to be ignoring Mari either you don't accept it or didn't listen to me earlier. When I went to register Adrienne they already knew about her. I thought about telling you immediately but I didn't I decided to tell you at this moment. Adrien presented documents to prove that you were married to him when you got pregnant. Didn't you hear me earlier? Her legal name is Adrienne Emma Agreste Dupain."

"What!?" Mari exclaimed. "I can't believe this. I was so distracted by seeing Adrien here that I didn't pay attention to you. At Viperion's ranch I thought Adrienne was a great name for her but then I regretted it. The name passes but Adrienne with the last name of Agreste and Dupain I don't think so she doesn't belong to neither family."


"Lila tell Sabine that we're going to have lunch I have to leave again very soon." Tom stated walking in the living room.

"Well than we're only going to have lunch because Sabine left to see Mari and now Adrienne too." Lila replied.


"Calm down Marinette there's things in life that we can't control." Father Carlos stated.

Ruby walked over to them holding Adrienne. "Thank you for letting me stay Mari."

"Well now I regret it." Mari said irritated taking Adrienne from her. "I wish I didn't."

"Why that change all of the sudden?" Ruby asked confused and hurt.

Mari sighs. "I'm sorry Ruby it's not you. It's what you are the sister of Adrien. I didn't want anything to do with him and I was right. He recognized Adrienne as his daughter."

"I know I was a witness along with Edward." Ruby replied.

Fu walked to them. "We should celebrate with the rest guys."

"Do you know where Adrien is?" Mari asked Ruby.

"Yes he told me that he would go to his clinic after coming here." Ruby replied.

Mari hands Adrienne back to her. "Take care of her." Mari runs out the apartment. Adrien just said goodbye to a patient as Mari busted in his office. "How could you recognize Adrienne?"

"Mari you can't apart me from Adrienne as much as you try." Adrien stated.

"You shouldn't have registered her behind my back because I didn't want it you did it against my will and what I don't want at all is for her to have those two last names." Mari replied. "Yours and the Dupain."

Mari was about to leave but Adrien stopped her. "She should have them because of birth and family. You are Dupain I am Agreste. That's her rightful name."

"Well I'll fine a lawyer so Adrienne only has my last name that I was given in the orphanage." Mari replied.

"You can take Dupain out if you want but not Agreste you got pregnant while we were married and the law will be at my side." Adrien stated.

"Wasn't it that our marriage was invalid that it was like it never existed?" Mari asked using his words that he used.

"Even if I didn't want to Adrienne was formed during our marriage so she has to have my last name" Adrien replied. "Plus I do want to share that responsibility with you."

"Are you also going to use the law to take her away from me?" Mari asked. "The only thing I love and have? Now you recognized her what's next Adrien?"


"Today is Adrienne's birthday Sabine probably found out and went to join the fun." Lila added. "She didn't say it directly but she implied it. She'll keep seeing Mari and soon Mari will accept her then Mari will come with Adrienne and all the vague people with them. Sabine says you'll accept her too."

"I'll accept for her and Adrienne to come at the house that belongs to them but I won't accept her as a daughter." Tom replied.

"You shouldn't let someone who has offended you to live here. You should prohibit Sabine to bring her here." Lila stated.


Adrien sighs. "Why can't we ever talk calmly? Mari regonize that Adrienne isn't the only thing that unites us but our love to each other. A love that can't die. We look for each other only just to fight because it's a love that wants to go on. Even if we don't want to accept it our love is more sincere and honest than us. We act as enemies when what we really want to do is be together." Before they both knew it they were leaning in and they kissed passionately. After a while they broke apart. "Why don't we just be honest Mari? Why don't we say the truth and speak with our feelings? Let's consider our situation with Adrienne civilly and find a solution?"

"There's...no fixing our situation." Mari replied.

"Mari I know that there's things separating us but let's fix that and accept that our love for each other exists." Adrien stated. "I'll tell you right now my love for you still exists and you only need to say the same thing for everything between us to be fixed and you could be my wife again. What do you say Mari?"


"Do you agree with my plan?" Isabella asked Audrey.

"It's a plan that can actually work and it's obvious you made it with a lot of thought so yes." Audrey replied.

"It's the best way to alter Kagami and by each day that passes she'll be more nervous in front of Adrien. Though you need to tell me with details everything you find out so it works." Isabella stated. "Just don't forget about my niece Lila."

"Don't worry Lila will be the first one gaining something with all of this." Audrey replied.


Adrien was going to kiss Mari again but Mari stopped him. "Do you want to be my wife again Mari?"

"I have suffered a lot since I'm a sick woman and Adrien has been very kind to me. You can't imagine the anxiety that I have been through but you are a strong woman willing to move forward and I'm not like that. I'm weak I don't know how to face life and maybe that's why I'm like this because I couldn't deal with a huge abandoning."

"We will be together like before how we should've always been."

"If you want me to leave just tell me if you want to be with Adrien than I'll leave. I'll break my engagement with him so you two can be happy. Tell me is that what you want Mari?"

"We would have Adrienne with us Mari and Maya too. We would be at our house where we would form our family."

"Now I feel less insecure without the doubts that I had. I can now accept something that I didn't want to before. Ruby Maya and Adrien care about me."

"Everything is waiting for you Mari." Adrien finished.

"Another woman is waiting for you there." Mari replied. "Or did you forget about that?"


"I can't do that." Tom stated. "I love Sabine she has her feelings toward Mari even if I don't feel the same way. Plus I can't deny that being a grandfather makes me feel good. Sabine is only acting as a mother."


"No Mari I didn't forget about what I did and of my obligations but there's many ways to solve this without anyone getting hurt." Adrien stated. "We just need to talk about it. Especially for Adrienne."

"Well I'm not interested." Mari replied. "You will marry Kagami and you don't have to explain anything to me. Just marry her and forget about me especially Adrienne. I don't want to ever see you again." With that Mari leaves Adrien's office.

Adrien went home and sat on a couch in the living room with a smile. "She loves me. I know that Mari loves me she was about to give in when I told her how I felt. She was about to accept but she was afraid to accept her feelings for me but I know that she loves me. Mari loves me I just know it." He stands up and paces around. "The only obstacle is Kagami but she already told me that she knew how to understand-"

Kagami quickly walked to him with a smile. "Adrien you're back. I was waiting for you I have to talk to you."

"Good because I also have to talk to you." Adrien replied.

"Is it important because what I have to tell you is important." Kagami stated. "You know what it doesn't matter you can start. What do you want to tell me?"

"No you can start it must be important you are almost jumping off the walls with happiness." Adrien replied.

"Because for the first time I dare to open my eyes to happiness. UntilI today there was something stopping me from feeling that happiness when you asked me to marry you Adrien. To stay at this house with Maya to start a new life by your side. All because I was afraid that you and Mari still loved each other and I was just an obstacle for the two of you. Something that prohibit the happiness of both of you but now that fear went away because I went to see her. I went to see Mari." Kagami stated.


Mari was in her room when Ana walked in. "Mari do you feel ill?"

"A little." Mari replied not looking up.

Ana sat next to her. "You had problems with the dad of Adrienne right? Fu and Father Carlos told me that the man who came earlier was Adrienne's dad."

"He was my husband Ana. I fell in love with him like crazy but my happiness only lasted a couple of hours. My life went downhill and it was all because of him. Now he's chasing after me and tormenting me." Mari replied.

"Do you still love him?" Ana asked.

"...it's better that we talk about this another time." Mari replied. "I'm not in the mood and my head hurts."

"Don't worry about it. Right now isn't the moment. Though I'm here if you need someone to talk to about anything. Now smile it's Adrienne's birthday you shouldn't be sad." Ana stated before leaving the room.


"I needed to see her and talk to her." Kagami continued. "I told her that I was willing to leave you if she wanted to get back together with you. I even tried to convince her because Adrienne is involved too. I saw Adrienne by the way and I was very honest with Mari by opening my heart to her. Things that I haven't even told you about my loneliness. She's so admirable she's so confident for a woman of her age but of course she had love and a daughter. Maybe I can be like her after I overcome my fears. Adrien Mari told me that she never planned to get back together with you." Those words were like a knife stabbing Adrien's heart.


Before Ana went to see Mari Fu went to see her first. "Dear what's wrong the guests are waiting for you at the party. Won't you join them?"

"I don't feel good Fu if I go talk my head will hurt badly." Mari replied. "You take care of them okay?"

"You're like this because of your visit to Adrien right?" Fu asked.

"We argued a lot but I'll tell you later okay." Mari replied. "Let me rest."

"Of course I'll take care of the party." With that Fu leaves her room.


"I'm telling you this so you don't see me as an obstacle between you and Mari." Kagami stated. "Even if I didn't exist or if we weren't engaged Mari wouldn't-"

"Don't go on please don't go on because there's no point in talking about it." Adrien replied. "Everything is clear now and I'm glad that you're happy."

Kagami nodded. "Adrien...I believe that we never kissed before."


After Fu went to see Mari he went to the party which was full of happiness everyone was having fun and many used the opportunity to catch up with each other.

"I think that Ruby did a good thing by coming here. It's not fair for her to have missed a special day for Adrienne just because Adrien and Mari aren't in good terms." Roxie told the rest of the girls. "Mari didn't seem to mind after all they're good friends and they care about each other."

"Did you see how Dr. Agreste came? I did like how he kissed Adrienne's forehead and wished her a happy birthday even bringing her a gift." Alix stated.

"She's his daughter Alix it's natural that my cousin would come for her birthday." Elsa replied.

The doorbell rang and Marlena went to open the door to find Sabine standing there. "Good afternoon."

"Hi Mrs. Sabine come in." Marlena said and Sabine walked in to see all the guests there.

"Just what we needed Mrs. Sabine and Mari is in her room." Fu whispered to Father Carlos before looking at Ana who was holding Adrienne. "That woman is Mari's mom but a lot of things happened and Mari doesn't want anything to do with her."

"What are you guys celebrating?" Sabine asked Marlena.

"Adrienne's first birthday." Marlena replied.

Sabine nodded and and went over to Fu and Father Carlos. "Hi I had no idea." At that moment Mari walked over to them and saw Mrs Sabine. "Hi Mari I came without knowing anything and-" Mari walks pass her and gently takes Adrienne from Ana about to walk back to her room. "Mari even if it's just for today can I hold Adrienne please it's her birthday."


Adrien leans forward and kisses Kagami's forehead unable to kiss her especially after the kiss he had with Mari. Kagami either wasn't phaced by it or pretended not to be. "I talked a lot and you also had something to tell me what was it?"

Adrien smiled softly. "Forget about it. It doesn't matter."


Mari looked at Fu and Father Carlos before sighing and handed Adrien over to Sabine before walking back to her room. Sabine smiled and played with Adrienne with happiness.

"My girl is still sad." Fu said sadly.

"Marinette probably feels defeated in that fight she has with Adrien over Adrienne. Maybe she's starting to accept that she needs to share Adrienne with others that care about her." Father Carlos replied.

"Maybe you should go see her and talk to her." Fu suggested to Ana and Ana nodded heading to Mari's room and that's how Ana ended up talking to Mari.

Marlena went to talk to Fu and Father Carlos and soon Elsa and Roxie walked over to them. "Well we have to go." Elsa stated.

"Please let Mari know for us." Roxie added.

"If you want I can call her to come." Fu suggested.

"No don't bother Fu I have to go because Michael is very ill and I can't leave him alone for a long period of time." Elsa replied.

"Well thank you for coming." Fu said and the two nodded before walking away.


Sabine walked over to Tom. "Forgive me for taking so long Tom. I just came back from Mari's house. It was Adrienne's first birthday. Mari let me hold her. Do you realize what that means Tom? Mari's heart is softening." Sabine said happily.


All the guests were eating cake at this point and Nino walked to Marlena. "Mari's new friend came back to the party but Mari is still locked in her room."

"Well since she went to see Adrien...they probably got into a huge argument about Adrienne. " Marlena replied. "Mari doesn't love Adrien anymore and she's afraid that Adrien will take Adrienne away from her."

"I understand women less everyday. If Dr. Ageeste is Mari's only great love how is it possible- how's Alya?" Nino asked suddenly.

"Good she's still in New York." Marlena replied.

"Do you think that I can go see her?" Nino asked.

"I don't know Nino she has been avoiding talking about you." Marlena stated. "But I'll give you her address maybe you'll have better luck this time."

Later when the party was over Mari went to the living room and sat on a chair looking around the room upset for two reasons the main one being that she missed Adrienne's party all because of Adrien but...

Marlena walked over to her. "Everyone left it's time to go to the theater Ana already left to get everything ready. I'll go get the things that we need." Mari nodded as Marlena went to get the things.

Fu walked over to her. "Parties are so much fun but a huge mess is left behind. It's a shame that you couldn't enjoy it. Most likely because of the argument you had with Adrien."

"Adrienne will have those two names Fu." Mari stated. "Well she has to have Adrien's by force at least. Since I got pregnant when I was still married to him."

"Mari you don't want to accept it but everyone agrees that he is the father and that's the last name Adrienne should have. That's a good thing when she has questions and wants to know things." Fu replied.


Luka went in his hotel room and turned on the lights to see Ryuuko sitting on the bed. "How did you get in here? I'm tired and I want to rest."

"You're going to sleep so early? Well you won't be alone I'll sleep with you." Ryuuko said with a smirk gesturing Luka with her hand to go over to her seductively.


"If only I could take her far away so she would be far from Adrien's side." Mari stated. "I want to defend Adrienne from so many things especially from a dad that she really doesn't have. A few days ago it could've been possible for us to form a happy family but not anymore. He belongs to that woman who's going to be his wife."

"Oh c'mon you only need to smile at him and he'll leave her in a heartbeat to be with you." Fu replied.

"I can't do that...the worst part is that...I still love him Fu." Mari stated. "I can't deny it anymore I love him. I love Adrien with all my heart." Mari burst into tears.

"Look dear I'll be honest with you. I don't think you should be crying but instead you should be fixing your problem." Fu replied. "You should talk with him with honesty."

"What could I even tell him?" Mari asked.

"That you love him." Fu replied.

"I can't do that Fu." Mari stated in tears.

"Mari for you and Adrienne...if you really love him than you should marry Adrien again." Fu replied.

Mari kept crying as Marlena walked over to them. "Mari we need to go or you'll be late for the profermance."

Mari wiped her tears. "Yes let's go." She stands up and they leave the house.


Michael was worst than ever and Elsa feared that this was it that the end was close.


Mari was getting ready for the profermance as she was thinking about what Fu told her.

"Mari for you and Adrienne...if you really love him than you should marry Adrien again."

Ana walked in at that moment. "Here Mari I brought you a cup of tea. I imagine that you need it."

Mari takes the cup. "Thanks Ana."

"Now let me start doing your make up because if Mr. Rople sees you like this I'll be in big trouble and we don't want that now do we?" Ana said playfully before starting to do Mari's make up. "...Mari are you still sad about Adrienne's dad? You still love him right?"

Mari sighs. "Yes Ana I still love him. As much as I try I can't get rid of him from my heart."

"Maybe you'll be back together with him." Ana stated.

"Tell me Ana what would you do if you were in my place?" Mari asked.

"Well I'm not you and I'm not in your situation but by what you told me earlier...honestly I wouldn't get back together with him." Ana replied.


"Why didn't you call me before? Mathew and I would have gone there." Ruby said over the phone. "I understand if anything happens please call me Roxie." Ruby hangs up and looks over at Mathew. "Mathew Michael got worst. It is believed that he won't make it by tomorrow. It must be sad to die when a whole life is ahead of them."


"So you wouldn't get back together with the man you loved even if you had a child with him?" Mari asked.

"Well I'm stubborn and proud of myself. Even if that was the case I would deal with everything on my own like many single mothers do." Ana replied. "I would feel as if I was losing my integrity being lower than him. That's my way of thinking though I'm not saying that every woman should do that or that it's right. Maybe I'm wrong and the right thing to do is to get back together with him."

Mari sighs. "Fu saw me crying and he gave me some advice. If I love Adrien and thinking about Adrienne I should marry Adrien again."

"You got divorced?" Ana asked confused.

"No you see Adrien had another wife before me but she was assumed dead after a plane crash so we got married but than she appeared alive so my marriage with him became invalid." Mari replied. "Oh he also had a daughter with her making her Adrienne's half sister."

Ana was even more confused. "...Your situation is even more complicated than I thought. So do you want to get back together with your ex husband?"

"I don't know I'm so confused but I do know that I'm suffering badly." Mari replied.


"Did Mathew already leave?" Adrien asked Ruby.

"Yes he went to Elsa's house. Adrien it seems like Michael is dying." Ruby replied.

Adrien sighs. "I'm really sorry but with the conditions that he was in maybe it's for the best."

"I know that Mari went to see you today how did it go?" Ruby asked. "She asked me where you were and I told her."

"Yes she busted in my office furious that I registered Adrienne as my daughter. There's no doubt that she's my daughter so she had to have my last name. I had to explain to her everything...then we calmed down and we were able to talk." Adrien replied.

"She went back to the house so upset that she locked herself in her room for the rest of the party." Ruby stated. "What happened between the two of you?"

"A connection happened...it seemed like everything would've gotten fixed between us but it didn't." Adrien replied.

Later Ruby knocked on Kagami's door a couple of times but there was no answer so she opened the door which was unlocked and walked in but Kagami wasn't there. Everything was all neat and Ruby saw the door that lead to the garden opened. Ruby quickly closed the door and left the room nervously knowing that it was Ryuuko who left.

Audrey walked over to Ruby. "Are you looking for Kagami Ruby?"

"Yes but she wasn't in her room. She's probably with Maya or eating dinner I'll look for her downstairs." Ruby replied.

"Don't bother looking for her downstairs Kagami isn't home...or should I say Ryuuko? I saw her leaving the house all provoked like a while ago and this isn't the first time either she did it the other day too." Audrey stated. "It seems no matter how hard your brother tries he couldn't cue Kagami yet. Who knows what harm that woman is doing right now."

Ruby quickly went to Adrien's study and Audrey followed. "Adrien Kagami Isn't in her room."

"It's true Adrien the tutor isn't in the house I saw her leaving in secret from the garden. Though it wasn't Kagami it was the Japanese woman." Audrey added. "This is the second time I saw her leave too."

"So you proved to yourself that it wasn't a fake story about Kagami's spilt personality. You saw it yourself and you can't deny it anymore?" Adrien asked.

"Yes but I'm still not convinced If she does it conciously or unconsciously." Audrey replied. "And there's a big difference there. If this is true than all I want is for you to cue her so she doesn't commit more crimes." With that Audrey walked away.

Adrien sighs. "Ryuuko came back and for bad intentions."


Michael gave Elsa a journal that was filled with poems and he asked her once he died to publish them it would be the last thing he would give to the world and to her since they were poems of their time together and Elsa promised to do so.


"What are you going to do Adrien?" Ruby asked Adrien.

"I would need to look for her but I don't know how I doubt that she went to the park where we would meet up she's smarter than that." Adrien stated.

"Why don't you destroy that personality once and for all?" Ruby asked. "Free Kagami once and for all."

"You think that I haven't tried? I haven't been able to Ruby. She denies to collaborate I thought Ryuuko hasn't come back but you heard Audrey she has the for at least two nights and who knows how long besides that besides us Ryuuko doesn't know anyone in Paris. We need to wait until she comes back go to sleep I'll wait."

"No I won't be able to go to sleep. I'll get a cup of tea do you want one?" Adrien nodded before Ruby left the room.


Michael didn't want to die in a closed room so with a lot of struggle Elsa took Michael to a flower field so he could be in the fresh air and Michael smiled.


Adrien sighs. "Should I suffer by not being with the woman I love with passion? It's fair for Kagami but I only have compassion and obligation with her why shouldn't I just be honest with her? To tell her that I'm willing to help her but I need my freedom to redo my life with Mari."
