ATSK 10
It's been a week since the pregnancy announcement by Monarch to the world, and Ladybugs almost miscarriage. The Miraculous Ladybug healed her and the baby, so everything's fine now. Of course, that doesn't stop Adrien/Cat from hovering over Marinette. The earrings have been given to Ayla until Marinette gives birth. Leading the public to realise that Monarch was after all, right. Ladybug is indeed pregnant! So much Ladybug baby stuff popped up over night! Not that Marinette has seen it. Although she's completely healed, thanks to magic. Adrien won't let her up out of bed.
"Adrien, seriously. Come on, we need to go tell my parents." Giggling she grabs his hand, and pulls him up the stairs to the apartment. Adrien has insisted on her staying with him, as his place for the last week. She's hoping he'll ask her to move in with him soon.
"Ready?" She asks, as she lays a hand on her stomach, his overtop of hers.
"For your father to kill me? Yes!" He says, sarcastically. Making her giggle.
Stepping inside the apartment, her smiles up at them.
"Ok, Maman, Papa. Adrien and I, are having a baby!" She blurts out from the doorway. Sure, maybe she should have led up to the big news. But, she wants this over and done with already.
"We figured. I found the pregnancy tests. Well, figured you were pregnant just not to who. Oh Adrien, this is wonderful! I'm so excited for you two. I'm going to have a grandbaby!" Her Maman jumps up and runs out. Leaving a bewildered Marinette and Adrien.
"So, had sex with my daughter did ya? Got my daughter pregnant did ya? Now what!" Papa asks as he stands up and walks towards them.
Adrien makes a frightened child noise and hides behind his pregnant girlfriend.
"Now! We hug like a family!" Her Papa, shouts as he picks up Adrien and hugs him tightly. "Welcome to the family son!"
"Son…?" He whispers, his eyes filling with tears.
"You're not angry Papa?" Marinette asks, confused by her parents reactions.
"You're in your 20's Marinette, this is your life. Also, you and Adrien are together. Not that being a single Maman would be bad. We'd love you and the baby either way!" Papas eyes fill with tears and shuffles off to blow his nose.
"Marinette, come quick." Maman had reappeared carrying a box.
Adrien and Marinette walk over and look inside. Inside were all of Marinette's baby things.
"Oh look at baby Marinette." Adrien picks up a baby photo on top and almost squeals in happiness.
Smiling and leans against him, as if in reflex he wraps his arm around her waist and pulls her closer. Probably is reflex. He's done it 100's, if not 1000's of time as Ladybug.
"Yes, Mari was the cutest baby ever. I can't to share these baby things with your baby. Think it'll be a girl? Oh who cares! I'll use it all anyways!" Maman squeals and hugs them both tightly.
Marinette looks at Adrien, who smiles and hugs them both back.
Sitting on their roof later as Ladybug, she sits up looking around for Cat/Adrien. She's pretty safe, as no one knows she's up here. But, being Ladybug again for the first time after the almost miscarriage. Is giving her severe anxiety. Laying a hand over her stomach, she rubs the flat stomach. Adrien had run off after the meeting with her parents, she doesn't know where he went. She got a call an hour ago, to meet him here as Ladybug. Here she is, except there's no Cat.
The sound of footsteps behind her, causes her to jump out of her skin as she holds her stomach protectively.
"Sorry I'm late My Lady. Did I scare you?" He asks, his face creasing in worry.
"Just startled is all." She chuckles to herself at how silly she's being. "I've been waiting forever Kitty."
"Sorry." He smiles and pulls a long red rose from behind him. "For the love of my life and the mother of my child."
Smiling she reaches up and takes it. "Thank you My Kitty. I love you too."
Smiling he leans down and kisses her, while he rubs her stomach where their baby is growing.
"So, I have something to ask you. But, not here. Too many eyes. Follow me." He wink as he pulls out his staff and leaps across the rooftops towards the Eiffel Tower.
"Okay…" She mumbles in confusion.
Landing on the Eiffel Tower, looking around. She notices candles, candles lining the edge of the tower. And leading towards the secret office of Gustave Eiffel. The sun's slowly setting behind her, giving her a breath-taking view of the display in front of her.
The candles led off around the room and go somewhere she doesn't quite know. The rest of the candles line the edge of the platform, around the roof of the room, and up the sides of the Tower. There are rose petals scattered all around the platform, whether they'd been uniform before. They aren't know. Strong winds keep blowing them around, causing little rose petal tornadoes. Which were kinda cute. Is it too early for pregnancy hormones?
"Cat? What are you up too?" She calls out, looking around. The love of her life, has disappeared once more.
A familiar tune fills the air around her, a tune she hasn't heard since her childhood. Well, 14 years old to be exact.
"Do you remember the song, my love?" A voice asks from behind her.
Spinning around she sees Cat Noir, a heavenly glow surrounding him from the setting sun. A bouquet of roses in his hands, and a mischievous look in his eyes.
"The song we danced to at Chloe's party. What are you up too?" She folds her arms, and gives him her signature Ladybug smirk.
"Nothing at all." He winks, as he hands her the bouquet. "Do you like what I've done?" He gestures the Eiffel Tower.
"It's beautiful, our flower roses." She smiles as she takes the bouquet.
"As always. Follow me My Love." He takes her arm and walks her around the side of the room and to the door. On the door is a huge sign that says, "Congrats on the baby!"
Giggling, as Cat pushes the door open. To reveal the room's full of roses, roses of every colour and baby things. A beautiful pram, baby bottles, clothes, diapers, formula, toys. Everything, all mixed together to fill the room.
Stepping inside, she picks up a piece of clothing that says "I just did 9 months inside". "Kitty, what is all of this?" She turns to him, but he's gone again.
"Kitty!" Looking around she sees a small table in the centre of the room. Walking towards it, she sees a note on top of it. Picking it up, she reads,
"Marinette, you are the love of my life. I have loved you since we were 14, and I never stopped. I know life has been tough these last few years, and we grew apart. But, you never left my heart of my mind.
Also, turn around…"
Sniffing, she wipes her eyes. Setting the note down she turns around, to find her Kitty down on one knee, holding out a box to her. A ring box. Gasping, she covers her mouth with her hands.
"Will detransform for me?" He whispers, as a flash of green light reveal Adrien.
Nodding, a flash of red and she's Marinette again. "What are yo-"
"I wrote that note last year. We hadn't seen each other in a while, but I never stopped thinking about you. Loving you, wanting you! That night in the laundromat, was the greatest night of me life. I found out the love of my life, loves me too! My only regret is not telling you sooner. So, I'm telling you now! I love you Marinette! And I don't want to waste another moment of my life without you. So, please. Will you marry me?" Slowly he opens the box to reveal a ladybug diamond ring. "I bought this last year when I wrote the note…" He whispers.
Looking at the ring, to his bright and shiny eyes, and back to the ring. She can't help the sob that escapes her lips. Adrien Agreste has been in love with her since she was 14?! She has to be dreaming! No way that Adrien, the love of her life, her childhood crush. Is on his knees in front of her, asking her to marry him!
"We don't have to get married now, we can wait until the baby's born if you're worried about looking pregnant in photos. But, if you want. I'd marry you right here, and right now!" He holds out the box once more, reminding her she hasn't answered him yet.
"Yes… Yes… YES!" She screams, as she throws herself into his arms. Kissing him, pulling him off balance. Them both tumbling to the floor laughing.
"I'd love to marry you right now… but, I'm not exactly dressed for a wedding." She whispers, her forehead against his.
"No worries." He smiles, as he pulls her to her feet. Before placing the ring on her finger and kissing her.
"Ayla! Did you get all that?" He turns to the back of the room. Where Ayla and Nino were standing, sobbing.
"Yep, even the cute tackle and fall." Blowing her nose Ayla hands the phone to Nino. Before pulling a wedding dress from behind her. Not any wedding dress, the wedding dress, Marinette had been making for herself since she was 10.
"Where'd you…" Marinette looks at Adrien. "You've been planning this, haven't you?"
He smiles and kisses her. "Since that night in the laundromat. Yes, guilty!" Chuckling he walks to the door, before winking as he closes it behind him.
"Girl, you're marrying Adrien Agreste! …And what baby?" Nino asks, as he glances at Marinette's stomach.
"What do you think the baby things are for?" She asks, bewildered by her friend's cluelessness.
"Figured it meant he wants a baby with you. You're pregnant… to Adrien Agreste!" Nino lets out an unmanly like scream as he hugs Ayla.
"Boy, get out of here so she can change." Ayla rolls her eyes, as Nino tackles Adrien outside, yelling at him for not telling him.
"You're parents will be here in an hour. Let's get you dressed." Ayla giggles as she hands her the dress.
"Wait, that's why you demanded I try on the dress last week. To see if it still fit!" Marinette squeaks as Ayla helps her undress.
"Yep! How embarrassing it'd be if the dress didn't fit." Ayla giggles, as she unzips the dress and helps Marinette inside.
"Am I… really marrying Adrien Agreste?" She asks, as she glances at Ayla.
"Girl, you are! A happy little family." Squealing Ayla hugs her.
An hour later, the door opens and in walks her parents. Who stop to stare at the beauty in front of them. Marinette in a princess like wedding dress, and hair up in a beautiful bun.
"Maman… Papa!" She sniffs, trying to not smudge her make up.
"Oh my baby, you look like a princess, about to marry her prince." Sniffling, Maman walks back out with Ayla to join the wedding party.
"My baby girl. Look at you? All grown up! And starting a family of you own… I couldn't be happier or prouder." Papa pulls out a hanky and sobs into it.
"Me too Papa, me too." She smiles and as rubs her stomach, where her and Adrien's baby is growing.
"Let's go." Papa takes her arm, as the door opens.
Stepping outside, the sun has set now. And the tower is illuminated by the glow of hundreds of candles. Making it sparkle in the darkness. As they round the room, she sees that a alter of roses has been erected over looking the city. Surrounding it are all her friends and family. He really has been planning this for over a month now. Sneaky Kitty!
Walking down the aisle towards him, she knew all eyes were on her, but she only had eyes for her Kitty. The man she fell in love with twice, the man she's loved more then anything on Earth, heaven and hell. The man she didn't even know she loved until that fateful night in the laundromat. Their love, their story, is one that is long, bumpy and oh so romantic. Because in the end, it really is them against the world, them and their baby. Smiling, she lays a hand on her stomach.
Turning to look down the aisle at his future wife and mother of his child. He finds it hard to breathe, her beauty, her glow, is radiant. He always considered Marinette to be beautiful, but this, this is true beauty. When they left that morning after their love making and reveal, he went to the nearest ring shop and had them make him the Ladybug ring. He knew right then and there, that he was going to ask her to marry him. He just didn't expect a baby to be throw into the mix. But, he couldn't be happier. Smiling as she lay a hand on her stomach, as if thinking the same thing as him, he has to brush away a few stray tears. He finally got her, he finally got His Lady, his Bugaboo, his Princess, his Marinette. His heart's so full, he fear it may burst and kill him. It really is them against the world, them and their baby.
Stopping beside Adrien, she kisses her father on the check, as he goes to stand with his wife, both sobbing. Turning to face her Kitty-Kat, her prince, her heart swells with such love for him.
"Marinette your vows?" Luka asks, of course he's their wedding minister.
"Uhh… okay. My Kitty Kat, I have loved you for so long, it became apart of me. There's nothing I can really say. I love you, I love our baby, and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together. With our baby and whoever else might come along. As you always tell me, It's you and me…" She sobs, as she places a hand on her stomach, as his covers hers.
"Against the world, My Lady." He whispers, no longer trying to stop his tears.
"You're turn Adrien." Luka coughs, trying to not cry.
"You said it best My Lady. It's you and me against the world, with our baby beside us. And many more babies after that. I know that you want 3 or 4 kids, a house and a hamster." He smiles, as she giggles. "I promise to make you the most loved woman in all off Paris, no the world! Together forever, isn't long enough for our love. For our love will never die. When I met you, I was a scared, timid unloved little boy. But, you helped me to become the man I am today. I wouldn't be who I am, if you hadn't been in my life. You showed me what true love is. And not just romantic love, but friendship love, family love and yes, romance. You saved my life Marinette. And now, I'm going to spend the rest of mine, showing you how much I love and worship you. I can't wait to grow old with you." Smiling at the lil sob she gives off, her face buried in her hands sobbing. He takes her hands into his and kisses each of her knuckles, like he would as Cat Noir. "This Cat is no longer a stray and you are to thank for it."
"Well, that was so beautiful…" Luka squeaks as he blows his nose and wipes his eyes. "Do you Adrien Agreste take Marinette Dupain-Chang to be your wife?"
"I do, forever." Adrien smiles, as he places the Ladybug ring back on her finger,
"Do you…" Luka coughs. "Do you Marinette, take Adrien Agreste to be your husband?"
"Yes, yes, I do, I do!" She squeals, causing everyone to laugh. As she places his ring on his finger.
"Then, it is my supreme honour to pronounce you… man and wife. You may kiss the bride!" He squeaks as he buries his face in his hanky sobbing.
Adrien pulls Marinette to him, and kisses her passionately, as he slowly dips her, causing the crowd to whoop in response, the one not sobbing.
"I love you Mrs. Agreste." Adrien sobs, as he caresses her cheeks.
"I love you too, Mr. Agreste." She sobs back, trying to wipe away his tears.
"HIP HIP HOORAY! HIP HIP HOORAY!" Ayla screams from the back where the cameras are.
"HOORAY!" The crowd cheers, as fireworks explode in the sky all around them.
