The Next Day…
"Alison come down now or we are going to be late to see your Father," Marinette yelled up the stairs to Alison. Alison walked down the stairs to where her mother was standing. "Are you ready to go now?" Marinette asked. Alison had said a bit more words last night while Adrien was around. "We go see Daddy," Alison asked Marinette. "Yes, we are going to have lunch with Daddy too," Marinette said as Alison took her hand so they could leave the bakery and headed to the park where the Photoshoot was happening. While they were walking to the park Marinette had noticed that someone was following them, ever since they had left the bakery. She stopped to picked Alison up before continuing to walk to the park. "Mummy soweone is folowng us," Alison said looking over her Mother's shoulder. "I know Honey, don't look at them okay," Marinette said trying to keep the fear out of her voice so she would not scare 3-year-old. "I scared Mummy," Alison said into Marinette's shoulder. Marinette just hurried her steps towards the park. Once they finally arrive at the park they saw Adrien and his team over near the pond. Marinette had stopped to turned to see where the person that was following was and saw them standing near some trees. So, she holds Alison tighter and walked as fast as she could over to Adrien.
When Adrien looked up, he saw Marinette arriving with Alison. But when he saw Marinette and saw the look of fear cross her face which got him concerned and worried that something had happened. "Marinette and Alison is here so; I'm going to take a break now," Adrien called out over his shoulder as he walked over to Marinette and Alison. When Marinette got closer, she had set Alison down so she could go to Adrien. "Daddy!" Alison yelled as she ran over to Adrien with her arms out. Adrien picked up Alison when she got closer and carried on walking towards Marinette where she had stopped walking. "Hello, baby girl," Adrien said after kissing her on the forehead. As he came up to Marinette, he had stopped in front of her. "Hi, Adrien," Marinette said while trying to keep the fear out of her voice and off her face which she was not doing a good job of hiding it and that Adrien could see right through it. "Marinette are you alright? What is wrong? What happened?" Adrien asked with a worried tone in his voice. "Adrien, do you see that person behind me who is wearing all black," Marinette asked him. He looked passed Marinette and saw the person standing near the trees. Adrien had recognized them from the day before at the park. "Yea, I see them" He replied. "They followed us from the bakery all the way here," Marinette said with fear in her voice. Adrien had shifted Alison to the other hip so he could wrap an arm around Marinette's shoulders and turned her towards where their picnic lunch was waiting for them.
"It is going to be okay Mari, the three of us are together now. Let us go and get some lunch." Adrien says trying to comfort Marinette. Adrien set Alison down and took her hand as Alison took Marinette's and he led them over to the picnic lunch that Natalie had set out for them. After they were finished eating lunch Adrien was about to say something to Marinette when… "Daddy, can I tawe sowe bwead and eed the wucks at the wond?" Alison asked her Father. "Sure, but make sure you don't go where we cannot see you, so that means you're not allowed to go past the pond," Adrien said. "Okay, Daddy," Alison said as she went over to feed the ducks. "Mari, I think you should consider you and Ali coming to stay with me"
"Why do you say that for Adrien?" Marinette asked. "Well you and Ali are being followed and my house has security that could protect our daughter," Adrien explained. "Give it a couple more days. And if that person is still following us then I will consider it for Ali's sake." Marinette suggested. Adrien nodded to let her know that he understood. They both got up and went over to help feed the ducks. "Adrien, we need to start the Photo Shoot now," Natalie called out to him. "Adrien…" Adrien knew what Marinette was going to say.
"Mari, I will get Natalie to text Gorilla, my bodyguard to come and pick you and Ali up from here to take you both home," Adrien said. Marinette nodded. As Adrien went over to talk to Natalie, Marinette took Alison back to where they had lunch to start packing up. " we going, Mummy?" Alison asked Marinette. "Yea, Daddy has to get back to work now, so we are going to go home. Okay, Honey." Marinette said. Adrien back came over to help pack up. "Natalie has contacted Gorilla to come and pick you both up, and I will wait till he arrives," Adrien said. "Thank you, Adrien." Marinette had said. 10 minutes later Gorilla had arrived at the park. He walked over to Adrien and stood in front of him. Marinette picked Alison up and went to stand next to Adrien. "Gorilla this is Marinette and Alison. I want you to take them home to the Dupain-Cheng bakery." Adrien demanded to his bodyguard. His bodyguard gave Adrien a slight nod. Adrien turned to Marinette and his Daughter. " Marinette, Alison this is Gorilla. He is my driver/bodyguard and is going to take both of you home. And I will come around later to put you to bed." Adrien explained as he placed a kiss on his daughter's head.
"Bye Daddy," Alison said hugging her Father. "Bye baby girl." He said back. Adrien turned to Marinette. "Mari once you and Ali get home, lock the side door that leads to the house and doesn't leave the house," Adrien demanded triumphantly. Marinette nodded. "I will see you later when you come around." Says Marinette. Gorilla leads Marinette and Alison to the car and took them home.
By the time they got home it nearly time for dinner. As Alison was cleaning up for dinner Marinette thought about what Adrien had said to her today about going to live with him for the time being. "Dinners ready!" Sabine said breaking Marinette out of her thoughts. "How was your day dear?" Sabine asked her Granddaughter at the dinner table.
"Was fun Gwandma. We picwic and I weed the wucks." Said Alison. "Sounds like you had a big day," Tom said. After dinner, Marinette had helped with the dishes then went to fill the bath up for Alison. "Ali it is bath time," Marinette called out. "Comwng Mummy," Alison said as she followed her Mother's voice into the hallway and followed her to the bathroom. Marinette washed Alison's hair and helped her wash her body then after the bath she helped her get into her PJ. Adrien arrived just as they were finishing up in the bathroom and when she came into the lounge. "Daddy." Yelled Alison as she ran into Adrien's arms. Adrien picked her up and said. "Princess, are you all ready for bed?" Alison nodded as she laid her head on her Father's shoulders and rubbed eyes with her thumb in her mouth. Marinette and Adrien took Ali upstairs and he placed her in bed. "Daddy stowy?" Alison asked. "Sure thing Princess." Said Adrien picking up a book. Three books later Alison had finally fallen asleep. Marinette had walked Adrien to the door to say Goodnight to him. "I will come by tomorrow morning to pick you both up so we can take her to kindy." Suggested Adrien. "Yea that is fine." She said. Then Adrien left, Marinette went back upstairs to say goodnight to her parents then went up to her room and went to sleep.
