"Chaton?"
Adrien and Marinette were just sitting there looking at each other with wide eyes. "Mummy," Alison said in a scared voice. Marinette turned to look behind the couch to find Alison who she had forgotten was still in the room and hiding there scared and curled up hugging her knees. "Ali come out Baby girl. It is alright they are gone." Marinette said looking over the couch and down at Alison holding her hand out. Alison came out from behind the couch and took her Mother's hand and climbed onto the couch to cuddle into her. "Marinette…" Adrien started to say but didn't know what to say. "We will talk in a minute, Adrien." She said. "Ali darling can you please take your doll and go over there to play. I need to talk to your Father." Marinette told Alison as she pointed to a spot in Adrien's room. Alison being confused why got down from the couch and went over to the other side of the room to play with her doll-like her Mother said for her to do. Marinette took one look at Adrien and stood up of the couch and walked over to the window. "Marinette your Ladybug?" Adrien asked as he stood up as well and started to walk towards her. "I…I…" She started to say but couldn't get the words out. She took a breath. "Yes." She said as she took one look at him then turned to face the window again. Adrien took a step closer to her so he was right behind her. "And your Chat Noir?" She asked. Adrien took Marinette's shoulders in his hands and slowly started to turn her to around to face him. "Yes. I am." He said once she was looking at him. During this Plagg had decided to come out of Adrien's bag and flew till he was beside his holder. "Tikki you might as well come out now they know," Plagg said. Tikki then flew out of Marinette's purse and went to hover beside her holder. Plagg and Tikki both moved till the were hovering in front of their holders. Adrien was overjoyed that his Princess was also his M'Lady, while Marinette was having trouble getting her head around it all, and how Adrien was her Kitty. He was her pun pulling Kitty and that was something she was having trouble getting her head around. Tikki faced her holder and asked, "Are you alright Marinette?"
"I'm fine Tikki," Marinette replied but Tikki knew that she was troubled. Tikki watched as her holder walked over to the couch in her shocked state "Kid go over there and talk to her." Plagg told his holder. "And say what exactly Plagg?" Adrien asked as he just stood there and watched his partner in crime walk over to the couch and sat down. "You just found out that your Princess is Ladybug. So, go over there and talk to her." Plagg demanded. "Okay. I will talk to her." Adrien said. Adrien then made his way over the couch where Marinette was. When he placed his hand on her shoulder she jumped in fright. Adrien then sat in front of her on the coffee table. "What's wrong Bugaboo? Are you disappointed that it was me under the mask?" Asked in a hurt voice. Marinette looked up hearing the hurt in his voice. "Oh, Adrien. I could never be disappointed that it was you behind the mask this whole time." She said as she took his hand in hers then she went on to ask, "Are you disappointed that it was me under the mask?"
"Why would I be disappointed, Mari?" Adrien asked her. Adrien noticed that something was wrong with Marinette but he couldn't figure what it was. "Because I'm clumsy, awkward. I make an idiot out of myself in front of people and I'm not brave or confident. I am just a regular girl who couldn't get one sentence outright all because I had a crush on you." Marinette said looking down. Adrien could not believe what he was hearing. He did not know that she thought so low of herself. "Marinette, you are kind, friendly, brave, confident, and strong. You put others need first before yourself. Yes, you maybe a wee bit clumsy. But we all can be clumsy at time. It doesn't matter who you are under the mask or even with the mask on. "You are Ladybug and Marinette. They are both you." Adrien explained as he tilted her chin up so he could look at her face. "Yes, thank you. That is what I always tell her." They heard Tikki yell in the background. "Thank you, Adrien. It just that I am having trouble getting my head around this all." She said. "I know so am I." He replied. "I mean… I am still trying to figure out how the boy I am in love with and my Kitty could be the same person because you both are so different in personality-wise. But now as I look at you I can that you are both." She explained. "I know what you mean. Wait What?" He asked. Adrien was shocked to hear that Marinette is in love with him. "Wait did you not know that Marinette had a crush on you, Adrien?" Tikki asked Adrien as she flew over to them with Plagg following her.
"TIKKI!" Marinette yelled out in embarrassment and she also started to blush. "What is true." Tikki cried. "Don't look so shock Kitty," Marinette said. "I did not know that at all," Adrien said. "Your joking, right?"
"I always thought that you didn't like me."
"I have a major crush on you. That is why I never could get a sentence out whenever you were around." She said. "So, Marinette is in love with Adrien who is Chat Noir and Adrien is in love with Ladybug who is Marinette," Plagg said. "Yes. They are in love with each other but didn't know until now." Tikki said. "Adrien" Marinette sighed. "You love Ladybug not me as Marinette." She added. Adrien stood up and pulled Marinette up with him. "Yes, it is too that I fell in love with Ladybug. But I had fallen in love with the girl that was behind the mask. I only said I love Ladybug because I didn't know who she was underneath the mask. I love you as Ladybug and as Marinette because you are both." He told her. Marinette stood there in front of him smiling. "Well, I guess I should introduce you then." She said. "Adrien this is my Kwami Tikki." Marinette introduced Tikki to Adrien. "It is nice to meet you, Adrien," Tikki said. "It is nice to meet you too Tikki. Mari this is my Kwami Plagg." Adrien said. "Hello, Plagg, nice to meet you."
"Same to you bug," Plagg said. Marinette giggled before her face went serious and Adrien noticed the change expression on her face. "This was not meant to happen. We should never know each other identities." She said as she pulled away from Adrien and walked away from him. "What do you mean Mari?" He asked her. "I mean that by knowing each other identities we could put each other in danger. We could put our daughter in daughter if Hawkemouth founds out about her because we knew each other Identities. I would never forgive myself." She explained. "Hey, nothing like that would happen to us or our daughter." He said walking over to stand in front of her once again. "How do you know Adrien?"
"I just do alright. We will protect our daughter at whatever cost and we will take each day as it comes." He said then placed his hands on her face and stroke her cheek. "Now will you take me as Chat Noir and as Adrien just as I take you as Ladybug and Marinette," Adrien asked her. Marinette looked into his eyes and could see that every word he has just said was the truth and that he meant it too. "Of course, I do Chaton. I need you by my side out there." She said smiling. Adrien smiles as he says, "I love you Bugaboo."
"I love you to Chaton." She replies. Next thing she knew was that Adrien pulled her closer than his lips were on her. Marinette was shocked first but then came out of her shock and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed him back as he placed one hand on her waist and pulled her even closer. They stood there kissing for a few minutes until…
