This one-shot is set post-reveal and after the final battle with Hawkmoth. Marinette has raised her two kids alone since Chat Noir died. This is about how much Emma misses her dad, and how much he means to her. Inspired by the 2018 Eurovision Entry by Germany called: 'You Let Me Walk Alone' by Michael Schulte

I don't own Miraculous Ladybug or 'You Let Me Walk Alone'

Please Come Dry My Tears, I Miss You

Dear Father,

I wish I got to know you.

You mean the world to me and you don't even know it.

No one comes close to being my father. It's on nights like this that I wish you were here.

When mum's crying in her sleep, Louis and I are the only ones left awake.

Mum says your eyes are so clear and green. I wouldn't know, the only reference I have of you is my twin brother, Louis.

I dream of other scenarios where I leave first, but only for happy things. Like travelling or marriage, to take big steps towards my grown-up life. I never imagined that it would be you first. Mum didn't think so either. She always seems happy and content, but the dazed lack of life never leaves her eyes. MDC Fashions is the new big thing in the fashion world, but mum always makes time for us. I might only be 7 but Louis and I are always grateful for it. She always said she wanted to make you proud, she never wants to repeat our grandfather's mistake.

I think we all dream of the times when you come home from work, smiling like you know you mean the world to us. Because you do. I love you dad, no matter what. I understand why Grandpa Gabriel is in jail. I understand why you never come home.

I've seen the pictures during Alya's footage of the day Chat Noir died. The day our father died. The day Ladybug cried her heart out. Its been 5 years, París still mourns. But no one more than my family. Ladybug went into hiding, rumour has it that she also died. But I know that's not true, my mother may have lost her other half that day. But Tikki and Plagg will take care of us.

Please come home soon Dad,

Lots of love, Emma.

"I was born from one love, two hearts.

We were two kids and a loving mum.

You made this place a home

A shelter from the storm

You said I had one life and a true heart

I tried my best and I came so far

But you will never know

'Cause you let me walk this road alone."

That night Ladybug and Chat Noir stood at the top of the Eiffel Tower. The miraculous had been passed on to Emma and Louis. But they didn't know they had new protectors. Paris was still in mourning. Heck, Emma and Louis were still mourning. But the difference was that their mother stood watching them from their apartment balcony. Smiling, she fondly remembered the good times, but also the bad times.

"Chat Noir!" I screamed, he jumped in front of me. Like he always said he would. His body slumped and went lifeless. The life was drawn out of his eyes like a vacuum.

We had just defeated Hawkmoth. The most important battle of our lives. Tears spilled from my eyes, I sat there bawling. Gabriel was in the opposite corner of the room, watching. He knew he had already lost. The police were on their way. I turned around, waterfalls still pouring from my eyes. I slipped the ring off his finger and a bright green flash appeared, revealing Adrien. My husband, we eloped, nobody knew, not even Alya.

"You killed him, as Adrien, not Chat Noir. But you also killed Chat Noir. The world doesn't need to find out one of their favourite heroes was killed by his father." I waited for his nod to show his understanding.

I flewto our apartment where our two toddlers were waiting for me. I sat there and cried with them. Tikki and Plagg came to comfort me.

"We're leaving for China." I couldn't breathe in this apartment. Not without him. We might come back, but only time would tell.

Looking up at the stars she cried; the tears flowing like rivers down her cheeks. She begins to sing, a song that had once given her hope. But that now left her without breath...because without him, she felt empty. Her kids helped her, so that one day she might heal. But that day was still a long way off.

"You made this place a home

A shelter from the storm

You said I had one life and a true heart

I tried my best and I came so far

But you will never know

'Cause you let me walk this road alone."
