"Will you marry me?"

Marinette stared back, slack jawed.

"Hawah?" She so deftly responded.

"I love you," Adrien said. "I know we're young, and I know this is the kind of thing that normally happens later, but, but I love being with you, and with your family. I want you in my life, for the rest of, of my life. Our lives."

Smooth Adrien is smooth.

"What about your father?" Sabine asked. "He's, I just, no offense dear, but, he's on board with this?"

Adrien gave her a sheepish grin. "Actually? He, um, kicked me out this afternoon when I told him what I was going to do. I'm going to live at Chloé's hotel until I can get an apartment."

"What will you do for a living?" Tom asked.

Adrien grimaced a bit. "Well, I've got multiple offers lined up, and, um, I'm rich? Like, I don't like to talk about it, but, um… Mom left a small fortune specifically in my name, and I've invested all my modeling money. Um, with Nathalie's help. I'm still going to work, but, um, I don't really have to?"

Tom held his wife's hand. "Son, I… That's good to know, and, well, we appreciate you doing the decent thing on this, Honestly, I thought this would take some convincing, but your moral fiber is exceptional."

Adrien blinked, confused. "I'm sorry, what?"

Tom and Sabine looked at each other and then back at Adrien. "You mean," Tom asked, his voice small. "You don't know?"

"Know what?"

Marinette felt her knees go weak. "You asked me and you… You didn't know?"

"Know what?" Adrien asked again, slightly flustered. Honestly, he had expected some kind of answer by now, even if it was a no.

Marinette bit her lip. "I need to, oh my God, this is… This is… Okay. Okay." She started fanning herself. "Okay. Adrien. You, um, you deserve to know something important, first. And, um, if you want to withdraw your offer I'll, um, I'll understand."

"Um, okay?" Adrien said, confused.

Marinette bit her lip. "Well, um… I'm pregnant."

Adrien stared.

"I just found out today," Marinette continued. "I figured that's why you were asking, but then you said you were just asking because you love me, and I love you, too! I do! And this is all I've ever wanted! But I wanted you to know, because I would want to know, and now you know, so…"

Marinette looked to Adrien.

Adrien stared.

"Adrien?" Marinette asked.

Adrien continued to stare.

"Are you okay?" Marinette asked again. She waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Adrien opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out.

Marinette let out a sigh. Her eyes were downcast as she fidgeted with her hands. "I know you weren't expecting… I understand you weren't asking me because you knew, and that, that knowing might have changed things. I'm sorry, I…"

She was cut off by Adrien wrapping her in his arms and kissing her.

"Re… Really?" He asked, both crying and laughing at the same time. He quickly slipped his words between kisses. "Are… Are you sure?"

Sabine nodded. "She's sure. The doctor confirmed it this afternoon."

Adrien felt his legs going out. He clung to Marinette and continued to rotate between laughing and crying. "We're going to have a baby?"

Marinette nodded, laughing. "We're… Yes. We're going to have a baby."

Adrien sniffed and clumsily held the ring back up. "This is yours, no matter what the situation. Would… Do you still want… I'd be honored to raise a child with you. May, may I be your husband, Ms. Dupain-Cheng?"

Sabine leaned over and whispered to Tom. "Ooooh, that's good."

"I know!" Tom whispered back. He was crying and bouncing in place.

"Yes!" Marinette cried out. She hugged Adrien and kissed him over and over. "Yes! Of course I'll marry you! Are you kidding me? I… YES!"

Adrien held her as she bounced in his arms. The planted a huge kiss on him and grinned. "This is amazing! I mean, I never thought… Okay, I did think, I thought a lot, but I didn't think this was, this would… Really?"

Adrien nodded. "Really."

Marinette kissed him again and hugged him tightly.

"Um, not that it matters at all in my answering, but, um, just out of curiosity," Marinette asked. "How rich? I mean, are we okay with me just working part-time? Can we do school and still afford an apartment? I…"

Adrien whispered something in her ear.

Marinette paled. She pulled back and looked at him, eyes wide.

"Holy shit."

"Dear!" Sabine said.

Marinette looked down and patted her stomach. "You're getting an awesome nursery, Emmy."

Adrien laughed and looked to Tom and Sabine. "And, um, with your permission. I'm sorry I didn't ask ahead of time, but, um, a lot happened today and I just… May I have your blessing for your daughter's hand?"

Tom answered by standing and sweeping him into a tight hug.

Adrien, crying, crumbled into it.

"Welcome to the family, son," Tom said.

Sabine and Marinette joined them.

Adrien wasn't sure when the hug broke, or what they even had for dinner. All he registered was the outpouring of love her felt, not only from his bride-to-be, but from her parents. All he registered was for the first time in years, he felt like he was home.
