Chapter 3

Nino Lahiffe waited at the Parisian airport at the arrivals hall of the airport in front of lots of other citizens, which were awaiting family members, that were coming from vacation too. The Moroccan observed the single persons appearing behind a wall, where the nothing to declare point was and Nino looked at his smartphone to see the time, then sighed as there was no sign of his friends.

"It's been almost 40 minutes" Nino stated continuing to watch a few passengers leave, followed by a family and the front person, which was a child ran off at the crowd towards a senior couple, which hugged them making Nino smile enchanted at the reunion of the family. Moments later Nino spotted Kagami walking out along with Adrien both pushing the baggage cart with their suitcases, then Nino smiled and made his way towards the couple.

"Hey, my dudes!" Nino greeted, then Adrien opened his arms to receive his friend for a hug. "Great to have you back"

"This week was fantastic. You and Alya should go there one day" Adrien mentioned making Nino laugh.

"Too expensive man and I don't even want to know how much you paid for the flight in those special class suites,"

"Sure, there are other places that are great too. You just need to dig a lot into the internet to find the best choice for you and Alya, when the time is here"

"There are a lot of choices, you can easily find something you two would like" Kagami added, then shared a hug with Adrien's best friend.

"Welcome back, Kagami" Nino greeted. "Follow me, I've got the car in the near" Nino mentioned going between the couple to grab the cart by its handle. "Let me take it,"

"It's not needed Nino, really" Adrien warned making Nino shake his head.

"No dude, I'm fine with it" Nino confirmed. "How was your lone time with Mrs. Adrien Agreste?" Nino asked with a wink making Adrien chuckle while Kagami shook her head amused at Nino's silly comment.

"I enjoyed every single moment there" Adrien answered. "Wish it could have lasted forever"
"I believe you" Nino agreed. "What about you, Kagami?"

"Same, mostly I enjoyed to be spending the time with Adrien. I had the chance to get to know his true self during vacation. It's was also our first vacation together and our first vacation, where we could do whatever you want….you know without our parent's observation the whole time,"

"That's a good thing" Nino mentioned, then Adrien touched his friend on the shoulder, which glanced up at the blonde, smiling at him waiting for him to speak.

"Hey, you sent me last day a picture, where you were together with my father and…...my mother I guess?" Adrien began earning a nod from Nino.

"She looks like your mother, to be honest. I was actually surprised as she showed up by the door with your dad,"

"So, that really was my mother?" Adrien asked making Nino shrug his shoulders.

"She asked about you and a few more details," Nino pointed out. "She would love to see you after all these times she was gone,"

"Oh my gosh. I can't believe that" Adrien mentioned slowly showing a smile on his face at the revelation. "If that's really true, I really have to see her"

"Your father told me…..better said….ordered me to inform you after your arrival to pass by his house as soon as possible" Explained the Morrocan man making the blonde nod.

"Okay, I could pass by this evening or maybe tomorrow, if it doesn't work out today" Adrien suggested.

"Yeah oh and maybe your mother would like to meet Kagami too. She was curious to know, who conquered your broken heart or some shit. I don't remember, besides she said something with conquered and heart"

"Well, I would love to know, if my parents like Kagami" Adrien confessed exchanging looks with his wife. "I just know my father was good at having us befriended with each other,"

"She sure will like her too. Before you got together with her I remember the last time I saw you happy was on your 20th birthday after you moved out a month later away from your dad. Then he began to feel sad….."Nino stated getting the attention of Kagami and the blonde, which nodded.

"What happened?" Kagami asked looking at Adrien.

"I had one book with everything special, that happened during my life and I had pictures of us in fencing and…..I began to think of you, that we never had chatted again after I lost my smartphone, that I screwed up my chances to contact you about my plans to visit you"

"I tried to convince him if he can't stay single he should get a girlfriend, but every good girl here either was dating someone or was a fangirl of him, that only was there for his fame and money,"

"You kept that book?" Kagami asked earning a nod from Adrien.

"It's somewhere in the bookshelf" Adrien mentioned. "I could show it to you when we get home"

"I don't know, what my mother did with my stuff I had in Paris, but I loved the images of us in there" Kagami confessed earning a smile from her husband.

"Oh yes," Adrien responded stopping along with Nino and Kagami in front of the elevators, then waited for one to arrive along with five other persons, that were alone. "When we get home I see if I can call my father and inform him about our arrival"

"You don't have his phone number here?" Kagami asked making Adrien shake his head.

"No, but I have it noticed down for emergencies" Adrien explained. "I added yours and Nino recently"

"You should have that list with you in case you're out of battery or lose your phone" Nino suggested. "And you know you had experienced that with Mademoiselle Agreste here" Nino stated with a wink making Kagami chuckle.

"Not you too"

"Yeah, I really should have it with me" Adrien admitted entering along with the friends into the elevator to head down to the parking lot.

"Are you planning to pass by this evening, right?" Nino asked making Adrien shrug his shoulders.

"I don't know" The blonde responded. "We have to unpack our stuff first"

"We can always do that tomorrow" Kagami suggested.

"Sure we could" Adrien agreed. "There you've got a point"

"If you two go out this evening you could always take the next two hours to rest from your flight. You've been up there for 13 hours," The brown-skinned man suggested.

"I'm thinking about it. I'm not sure if it's worth to rest or not. They're just three hours time difference from here and the Maldives. Otherwise, we didn't have any problems with resting during our flight,"

"You two could rest your eyes during our ride home. We're going to be for 40 minutes in the car anyway" Nino offered. "I think I even have the blanket I and Alya took to the drive-in cinema two weeks ago"

"That's not necessary, Nino" Adrien mentioned making the friend chuckle.

"Good, we arrived. I parked the car somewhere between 300 and 400. That's the third row I think,"

"I guess we're gonna be the next 40 minutes here looking for the car," Adrien told Kagami earning a nod from her, while Nino crossed his arms.

"Maximum 10 minutes it will take, believe me," Nino defended himself walking with the cart followed by the young Agreste couple.

In the evening Adrien and Kagami arrived upstairs at the entrance of the Agreste mansion, then the man rang at the doorbell and waited along with his wife for the door to get opened. Adrien gazed at Kagami, which gazed neutrally at the door, then the blonde placed his arm around Kagami's back looking into her eyes, wondering how she felt about the visit.

"Don't worry about my mother. She will absolutely like to meet you,"

"I'm not worried about that" Kagami mentioned. "But I'm curious to know how she came back after all those years"

"We're about to find it out soon" Adrien confirmed. "I really need to know that too," The husband pointed out followed by the door handle moving down as the door got opened back while Adrien exchanged looks with his wife and felt the woman hold his hand for reassurance. The door got fully back making Adrien drop his mouth as the person, as he recognized the woman, that opened up the door.

"Is that really you, mother?" Adrien asked approaching the entrance of the house, then the woman came closer to the blonde, slowly approaching with her hands the young man at his face a little hesitantly, unsure of what was going on at the moment.

"Is that really you, my darling?" The blonde woman asked watching the dumbfounded man gaze at her slowly recognizing his mother.

"You're here…..you're really here!" Adrien extolled running into the arms of his mother embracing her tightly. "I can't believe it". Yelped the Frenchman leaning his head next to Emilie's head.

"My son, you grew up tall" Emilie stated taking a look at her son, which passed his fist under his eyelid to clean up a tear from their reunion. "You're almost taller than me" Emilie mentioned earning a nod from Adrien. "Now it's more notable, that you've got the looks from the side of my family"

"Hehe…..father always said I've had inherited the softer side from your"

"I know that" Emilie stated, then she gazed at the exit, where Kagami stood glad at the reunion of her husband with his mother.

"Mom I'd like to introduce you someone special" Adrien mentioned looking at Kagami approaching the two, then she held out her hand for the woman. "That's Kagami. We met during fencing class when we were younger and well we have bond with the time we were hanging out together,"

"She's the one you got married to right?" Emilie asked earning a nod from the young man.

"Yes she is"

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Agreste" Kagami replied earning a courteous smile from her mother-in-law.

"You can call me Emilie,"

"Sure" Kagami answered.

"Well…..we should all get in, dinner is almost ready. You must have a lot to tell about your honeymoon…..and I and your father owe you the knowledge of the time I was absent during your life" The older adult mentioned earning a nod from her son.

"You don't have to tell everything at once. Just what you can" Adrien mentioned passing his hand on his mother's arm.

"I know, but I need to," Emilie said making Adrien nod, then she accompanied her son and her daugther-in-law into the mansion closing the door behind them.
