Chapter 4

Emilie, Gabriel, Adrien and Kagami Agreste sat around the dinner table eating the main dish of the night, listening to Emilie, which had been explaining the young couple, what happened in the past.

"I used to be the peacock miraculous holder before you even existed. After your birth, I rarely used the miraculous, until on a certain day the previous miraculous holder of the ox miraculous had been stolen and on that night I was out with your father. That night I've had on a bracelet around my ankle, which I forgot to remove and the miraculous got damaged. I've noticed it, but I couldn't let the villain escape with the miraculous and do whatever he had planned to do, so I continued to pursue that user and fought him…..What happened next I don't remember" Emilie told the group around the table.

"But who caught that guy?" Adrien asked curious. "Someone had to stop him after, what happened to you"

"The former miraculous holder of the fox had shown up to, managing to defeat the bad guy and afterward she brought your mother home to us…...she was…...well….she was in a comatose state…."

"She has been in a coma all those years?" Adrien asked shocked. "And you're telling me all this just now?"

"I've been thinking in the past a lot about telling you that, but it was hard for me to say it, mostly you were young and I was afraid you wouldn't react well" Gabriel stated.

"Darling your father just did, what he thought was the best for you. He didn't want to distress you with that,"

"I still suffered from her absence, I suffered from your overprotection and your cold behavior towards me" Adrien pointed out earning a disappointed nod from the older man.

"I know I did everything wrong on that time, but you have to understand all that I did was because I couldn't bear losing you too"

"I know that…..but there were times, where you seemed very careless about me, ignoring me, being busy with your job, giving me empty promises,"

"I know, what you mean" Gabriel stated. "I wish I could have done that better,"

"You still can" Emilie added. "Maybe going to the cinema?"

"We could all do together something. As we used to do, when you were younger, Adrien"

"Just suggest us a day where you're free and we'll go all out together" Emilie added earning a nod from the blonde.

"I'd prefer to be with my mom more time if you don't mind," Adrien mentioned. "I'd like to retry out moments I couldn't do in the past as you were gone,"

"If you like it that way, I have nothing to say against it"

"Cool," Adrien responded.

"How were you brought back to life, if I may ask?" Kagami asked making Adrien wide his eyes at Kagami's question.

"Yeah, I meant to ask that too. Did you just wake up or?"

"I don't remember a lot of details from that day, but your father told me our former assistant Nathalie had managed to contact the superheroes Jade Neko and Goldybug to inform about Emilie and after a long discussion Nathalie earned the miraculouses of the cat and the ladybug miraculous holder to use them on Emilie to bring her back. Using the ultimate power would be like doing a barter. You want that bicycle so bad, you'll do anything possible to get it? You're only choice would be to exchange with the bicycle's owner the bicycle with your car for example? Or you want to get that bicycle from the store? If you can give out 400 Euros, you can have it" Gabriel explained. "Easy explained, that's what the power does…..and by wishing someone dead to come back to life…."

"Someone will have to give up life?" Adrien added earning a nod from the father.

"Your father argued with Nathalie about her idea, but in the end…...she preferred to do that anyway and he just accepted her choice,"

"The good thing is, that she didn't have to suffer" Gabriel mentioned.

"That sounds awful" Kagami admitted.

"I remember Plagg telling me about the last time the ultimate power was used. It was back in Italy, where a man wished his marionette would turn into a real human and in the end he got turned into one while giving the puppet life" Adrien recounted earning a nod from the father.

"The miraculous have already existed even before Pangea got split up," Emilie told. "It's a pretty long experience the kwamis had along those centuries,"

"Wow almost everyone here used to own a miraculous. That's funny"

"You knew about Adrien's secret identity?" Gabriel asked surprised.

"He told me one time when we were already living together. I thought first it was a joke, but he gave me some hints that only Cat Noir knew…...This is then when I believed he was really telling the truth and not a joke"

"It was only fair if she also knew that too as I knew her side as Ryuko"

"I believe that" Emilie added. "Hey you know what quit talking about, what happened to me in the past, I'd like to know how your honeymoon was, tell me every little detail"

"I don't think I want to be that detailed, mom" Adrien mentioned blushing a little making Kagami chuckle at his comment.

"The week was amazing" Kagami answered with a glowing smile. "The hotel had so much to offer, it's incredible"

"They had every type of sport. We did fencing, we played basketball, soccer, volleyball on the beach, we even could bike on a bicycle on a part of the isle," Adrien related.

"We also played Tennis together" Kagami added. "Adrien acted so funnily on that evening,"

"I was just trying to be like that tennis player we saw the other day on TV," Adrien added with a laugh. "Honestly I don't know, why people groan at tennis. It looks weird to me,"

"For athletes like you two it sure is a nice place" Emilie commented.

"We also had yoga on the third day. We took a swim, we hung together at the whirlpool. Kagami says she never was in a whirlpool and I've told her about mines upstairs and she said we should use it more often"

"It really was relaxing, Adri," Kagami admitted. "

"Oh and we encountered there Jagged Stone and Penny Rolling on vacation and we grilled along with them and a few other people fish and steaks" Adrien mentioned earning a nod from his parents. "Also on the open-air cinema over the sea we encountered them there too and we had service during the ads with the waiters paddling over the water with the drinks and snacks towards us. That is actually a pretty cool idea, they have set up there"

"You certainly enjoyed also your time together with other persons I see" Gabriel mentioned. "When I was with your mother on honeymoon it was only the two of us"

"We also had our privacy of course" Kagami mentioned. "On Wednesday and Friday we had a romantic dinner and my favorite was the one we had at the edge of the beach with the sight over the ocean, where he could see the sunset"

"The other one was sort of like a picnic, but we sat inside a cocoon-like swing and overnight there" Adrien explained. "On that time of the night, it's still a little warm on the outside thought"
"Indeed" Kagami agreed. "One of my favorite nights" The woman confessed making Adrien smile a little abashed.

"The food there also was on point. Two nights ago I ate about 20 pieces of Canapé. I don't know why, but they were going so well down my throat I couldn't stop it"

"Adrien's eating habit hasn't changed since I left Paris for good the first time," Kagami mentioned. "I'm surprised how he doesn't gain any weight,"

"It's….." Adrien yawned making Emilie chuckle at her son's interruption of himself. "Sorry, we had two flights. We went from the Maldives to Sri Lanka, then here to France. Over 12 hours"

"Just finish your dinner you two peacefully, you can overnight here" Emilie offered.

"Your bed just needs an exchange of bedclothes and you two can sleep in there" Gabriel added earning a nod from Adrien and Kagami.

"I really need to rest a little earlier tonight" Kagami mentioned. "We gotta work tomorrow after all"

"I just have to go at 10 am,"
"I at 9" Kagami added. "The way we are from this trip we're most likely to fall asleep right in a couple of minutes" The woman mentioned earning a nod from her husband.

Up at the bedroom, that used to belong to Adrien, he got into it followed by Kagami and his mother, which walked to the middle of the bedroom.

"I don't know how you two are going to sleep, but Adrien has still got some of his clothing inside the drawers in case any of you needs it,"

"Okay," Adrien answered.

"I'll leave you two to rest" Emilie mentioned placing her hands on Adrien's cheeks to peck him on his forehead. "I love you so much, darling"

"I love you too" Adrien replied hugging his mother, making Kagami smile at their reunion, then watched the woman leave the two alone.

"She is a really sweet person" Kagami confessed earning a nod from the blonde.

"I can't believe it, that she's really here" Adrien confessed. "I can't even believe that this is real…..can you pinch me?" The man asked making Kagami laugh.

"Come on, what happened today is real. It's just…..unbelievable to realize it"

"You're right" Adrien answered looking at his commode next to the bed, then he went to open them up and took out a black t-shirt, then looked at Kagami, which begun to open up the buttons of her blouse and reveal her thin, but slightly muscular body and he opened the shirt for her. "Here"

"That's your favorite shirt" Kagami mentioned watching Adrien adjust the shirt to help her put it on. "Wow it almost fits me perfectly, is it M?"

"Yeah" Adrien answered and took out a red-colored t-shirt, then sat down on his bed to remove the current shirt he was wearing. In the meanwhile, Kagami had gotten rid of her shoes and her pants and observed Adrien removing his pants and putting them on the top of the commode. "Should I get you some trainers or shorts? Adrien asked making Kagami shake her head.

"I don't need any for now"

"In case you need, I'll get you some" Adrien warned earning a nod from Kagami, then he pulled back the covers of his bed as Kagami stood up taking her clothes to put them over Adrien's at the commode. Adrien hugged his wife from behind giving her a peck on her cheeks, making her smile enchanted at his gesture and nudged her nose on his.

"Come, we really need to rest tonight" Stated Mrs. Agreste earning a nod from her husband, which picked her up shrieking her and he lied down on his bed dropping her beside him, making her chuckle at his deed. "Why thank you, that wasn't necessary,"

"I know" Adrien responded hugging the woman, making her smile amused after that she pulled the bed cover up to cover her husband and herself, then she lied her arms and her head on Adrien's chest, followed by the blonde place his arms around the girl to snuggle with her. "Sleep well"

"Good night" Kagami wished leaning her head under his chin as she closed her eyes along with her husband to sleep.
