A/N: Here is the first chapter of the third (and probably) final story of this series. I really didn't intend for All Because of Ice-Cream to have a sequel let alone two, but here we are! Story number three and hopefully the best out of all three.

This story is set several years later and I'll try to explain everything in the time gap as much as possible without leaving you guys in the dark, however if I haven't explained anything clearly just tell me in reviews. I'm open to criticism and personal opinions, so feel free to say whatever you think.

I think that's everything I had to say so here's the first chapter...

Ladybug tried to catch her breath as Chat Noir went to attack the akuma. In the past few years she'd never encountered anything like this and now she was facing an entirely new threat. The enemy knew everything about her, from her weaknesses to her personal life. Ladybug never thought that she would be so exposed to the opposition.

Lila was meant to be her friend, she was meant to help make Paris a better place and had been doing so for the past few years, but something changed when Emma was born. Once Marinette had given birth, it was like Lila had become more distant, especially once she saw the baby. It was like something snapped inside of the brunette, making her become more and more secretive until she eventually turned against them. But what puzzled the bluenette most was why Lila was acting the way she was. She hadn't been like this when Alya and Nino had Percy or when Chloe had the twins. It just didn't make sense.

Ladybug was snapped out of her thoughts, when she narrowly evaded an attack from the akuma. She had to be a lot more careful from now on, especially since she had much more responsibility than she did a few years ago. She self consciously placed a hand over her stomach, knowing that there was a unborn child there. She definitely had to be more careful now. The heroine threw her yo-yo towards the akuma's giant syringe pen and got it away from him, before passing it to Chat.

The hero then destroyed the object and the akuma was purified. Dr Sadness then returned to the person he was before he was akumatised, and the two heroes sighed in relief. Tonight had been a close call and it proved that they were both out of practise. It had been so long since Hawkmoth had been jailed that they'd gotten used to dealing with minor enemies like robbers and other criminals. Tonight was like being let into the unknown for them.

"That was close," Chat spoke as they made their way back home.

"Too close," Ladybug agreed, before her mind went to her baby back home, "Do you think Emma's ok?"

"She's fine," Chat chuckled, "You worry too much."

"I know," The heroine blushed. She had a tendency to worry about her baby every so often. But who could blame her? It was every mother's instinct to be there for their child. It was like clockwork.

The two traveled in a comfortable silence before arriving at home. Everything was exactly how they'd left it and it didn't seem as if anyone had come while they were gone, which was a good sign. The two heroes detransformed and went to check on their baby. She was fast asleep and didn't stir when they opened the door. Her dark hair covered her face and she clutched onto her black cat stuffie.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief. They hated when they had to leave for patrol every night and now that Lila had become their latest threat, it only made their nerves worse every time they left. She knew that they had a child and could use that against them in any situation, potentially revealing their identities at the same time. The last thing they wanted was for their daughter to get hurt and so they usually made sure she was asleep when they left each night, making sure to come back as swiftly as possible. Sometimes taking shifts when the crime level was high.

The two collapsed onto their bed, exhausted. Tonight had proven challenging for them and the last thing they needed was for it to be evident to Lila. If she knew they were struggling to defeat her akumas, then she could do much worse.

The bluenette lay on her back, thinking about why Lila had suddenly turned on them like that. They used to be close friends and told each other almost everything. She even helped them to take down Hawkmoth and proved that she was a worthy of owning the Butterfly miraculous. So why did she suddenly change? She didn't show any odd behavior, well she didn't until Marinette told her she was pregnant. It just didn't add up.

The bluenette turned over onto her side. All of this thinking was giving her a headache. Maybe she should just ask someone what they think. She looked at the blonde, she knew she could tell him anything but she should ask him about this? Maybe she should just ask Alya...Biting her lip, Marinette decided to ask.

"Adrien, do you think Lila's doing this because of Emma?" The bluenette asked.

"No, why would you think that?" He replied turning to face her.

"I don't know..." She sighed, "She was just acting so strangely when I told her I was pregnant. It's just weird..."

"It's nothing to worry about," He wrapped his arms around her, "She's probably going through some conflict with her mom."

"Maybe," The bluenette replied sleepily. She knew that Lila and her mom didn't have the best relationship, especially after she turned eighteen, but she was still uncertain.

She cuddled against him and he hugged her back. Maybe she was just overthinking. The bluenette closed her eyes and tried to think about something else before the drowsiness took over. Soon the two fell asleep, wrapped in the other's arms.

"Ma! Pa!"

The two woke up to find a fully awake Emma, her bright green eyes sparkling, as she gently smacked their faces in an effort to wake them up. Somehow the infant managed to get all the way to their room without hurting herself.

The two sat up and smiled at her. She usually did this every morning.

"Looks like we have a visitor," Adrien tickled the infant, making her squeal.

"I think she had some help," Marinette giggled as she spotted Plagg by the doorway.

"Don't look at me!" The kwami fumed, "I had nothing to do with it."

Suddenly, Tikki zipped towards them, a worried look on her face.

"The whole team's at the door," The red kwami sighed, "Apparently Percy and the twins have gone missing."

The two adults looked at each other confused. It seemed strange that Chloe, Alya and Nino's children had gone missing.

The two headed to the door, Marinette picking up the now bubbly infant. As soon as they opened the door, Alya and Chloe burst through, showering the bluenette and Emma in hugs while they cried. Alix and Nino stayed at the door, but Adrien could tell his friend was upset. The only reason he didn't break down was because he had to stay strong for Alya. Alix was the only one who seemed calm.

"I'm guessing something serious happened," Adrien looked from the two females to Alix and Nino.

"Yep," The pink haired adult sighed, "Lila broke in and kidnapped Chloe's twins and Percy. I'm surprised she didn't take Emma in the process."

"That's actually why we came over," Nino continued, "To check if she'd taken everyone's kids."

"That's awful," The blonde looked over to the three women fighting over the giggling infant, "I couldn't imagine how you're feeling."

"Well one thing's for sure," Alix looked distant, "Lila's got them and I have a feeling she's up to no good."

"Me too," Both males agreed. They'd known the brunette long enough to know that she can be malicious and nasty, and so they knew what to expect.

Adrien thought about his family. After feeling alone for so long, he finally felt content. He didn't want that being taken away. He looked at Marinette protectively shielding the infant from Chloe and Lila. Maybe he was just being selfish, but he knew that he'd do everything to protect the woman he loves and their children.

Emma looked up in a confused state as she spotted the three women crying. They were just laughing, joking about and being so happy a moment ago, so why were they so sad? Maybe it was because daddy left with the other two people to do something. It could be they were just sad. Or it was because she was doing something wrong. The infant didn't understand and she didn't like that. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about it a little more, until she was bawling her eyes out.

Marinette sighed as she looked at her baby. It was like she could sense emotions or something, because she always seemed to reflect what everyone around her felt. The bluenette scooped up her double and rocked her back and forth, showing everything was ok.

"Maybe we shouldn't have discussed that while mini-Marinette here was awake," Alya looked at the infant who was drowsily closing her eyes.

"Yeah, I forgot infants can sense emotions," Chloe nodded before she felt her stomach grumble, "Guess we were in such a rush this morning none of us ate breakfast."

The two other females' stomachs growled and they blushed. By now the infant was half-asleep and barely registered anything that was going on around her, her eyelids fluttered as she let in a few deep breaths before falling asleep.

"I can whip up something for lunch!" Alya smiled, "My mom showed me this new recipe the other day."

"That sounds good," Marinette agreed, "I'll just put Emma in her crib."

"I'm just hungry," The blonde replied, "So I suggest we just make something."

The three women got up and Chloe and Alya went to the kitchen. Marinette put the now sleeping Emma in her crib before going to help her friends make something to eat. Little did the females know that a violet butterfly was watching them. Giving feedback to its master.

A/N: Here is the first chapter. I may make them a little longer in the future but right now I'm a little short on time.

Alya: Not bad.

Me: Well I know how to set a scene.

Alya: I know, I know. So...any spoilers?

Me: Nope!

Alya: Aww come on! Just one!

Me: Well...

Alya: Yes?

Me: My answer's still no!

Alya: Aww, come on!

Till next time,
