Hey guys! I've been updating a lot more than I usually will because I've had a lot more free time but I don't think that will continue becauset it's my birthday today! I'll be busy for the rest of the week so if I don't get another chapter up by next Friday I apologize! Anyway, time to read! Please enjoy and review
Ladybug ran across rooftops in the dark heading toward her meeting place with Cat Noir. She was late but it took a lot of encouragement from Tikki to get her to come. When she reached the meeting place Chat was already there.
She froze and tried to breath normally. He turned around and grinned. "My Lady." He purred bowing. She couldn't do this. Everything just kept replaying in her head. She couldn't stop it, her shouts echoed in her ears. She began shaking once again. Her breath quickened.
"My Lady? What's wrong?" He asked with concern.
"I-I can't d-d-do th-this." She forced out.
"Goodbye C-Chat." She stuttered sprinting away into the darkness.
"Ladybug!" He yelled after her. He was so confused. Her eyes had been so haunted and full of fear.
For the next month Marinette tried desparetly to forget about what had happened. She hadn't seen Cat Noir since the patrol night. Most importantly she was eight days late for her period. She had morning sickness and random cravings all the time. Her sense of smell was sharper than ever. Tikki new it, she new it.
Cat Noir looked everywhere for his love but she was no where to be found. He was growing quite worried.
Finally Tikki convinced her to get a test. She picked it up on her way home from school. Once she got home she took it immediately. Not wanting to wait any longer she looked down. Pink. No. Pink meant positive. Marinette was pregnant with Cat Noir's child. And she didn't even know who he was. Right then and there she new she had to tell Chat.
She was getting extremely overwhelmed. She needed some air so she grabbed her purse with Tikki in it and walked outside.
"Follow me" his voice echoed in her ears sending shivers down her spine. It began to replay in her head. His voice was everywhere and nowhere all at once.
Adrien had gone on a walk trying to figure out what was up with Ladybug when he saw Marinette frozen in place. She was shaking and sweating. He walked over. "Marinette?" When she didn't respond he placed is hand gently on her shoulder.
When she felt a hand on her shoulder Marinette jumped and jolted back into the real world. She saw Adrien's kind face smiling at her.
"You okay?" He asked gently. Marinette knew she couldn't lie to him and sighed.
"No not really."
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked.
"Sure" she answered sitting down on the curb.
"I have a very close friend who did something awful but he doesn't even know it. I know I need to tell him but I'm not sure how." She sighed
"Actually I'm on the other end of a similar situation, a girl I'm friends with seems very upset with me but I have no idea why. I just wish she'd tell me so I could fix it." Sighed Adrien
"No one can fix this" murmured Marinette.
"Don't underestimate. We can fix a lot of problems probably including yours." He laughed
Marinette began to cry silently as she shook her head.
"I'm pregnant!" She sobbed dropping her face into her hands.
Adrien felt like he had been kicked in the gut. His mouth dropped open as he stared at his friend. For some reason it felt like something was broken. He finally came to his senses and lifted her head onto his shoulder, gently squeezing her shoulder.
"I will always be there to support you keep that in mind." He murmured softly.
The two friends talked for quite a long time. Not about Marinette's situation but about other things.
By the time Adrien walked Marinette home it was dark out. Her thoughts for the first time in the past six weeks were not about what had happened. She was actually happy.
When she walked in the door to the bakery she saw her parents sitting at a table. They most certainly did not look happy.
"Where have you been?" Asked her father gruffly.
"I went on a walk and met Adrien." She answered her smile fading.
"Come and sit down." Said her mother softly gesturing to the chair across from them. Marinette slowly sat down getting a bit nervous. Her dad looked angry and stern while her mother looked sad and disappointed.
"Honey…. I was emptied get your garbage can today when I found this." Her mother murmured setting Marinette's pregnancy test down on the table. Marinette's eyes grew wide and her hands cold.
"I'm not angry but I need you to answer me honestly. Are you pregnant?" Marinette knew she couldn't hide it and maybe having her parents know would help with the stress. She nodded weakly as small tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Did you want it to happen?" Asked her father softly. She could tell them the "truth.
"Yes" she murmured feebly. Her father's expression relaxed as he rubbed her shoulder.
"Honey you need to use protection." Her mother said gently. Marinette nodded again looking at her knees.
"But I also want you to know that we will be there for you no matter what happens." She added.
"That Adrien boy, is he the father?" Asked Tom. Marinette shook her head wishing he was.
"Who is the father?" He pressed
You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She responded.
"Try us" her mother interjected
"The father is Cat Noir." She said quietly.
Both her parents looked surprised but neither said anything as Marinette walked upstairs to get ready for bed.
The next day she was supposed to be patrolling with Chat. She would tell him then.
