Adrien start the engine of the car when he had put everyone in the car and buckled them up. He had put LadyNoir next to him so he could keep an eye on her, he wasn't sure the belt would do with all those corners and such. Now that there was an Akuma on the loose, there was a chance his driving would become a bit trickier.

As they were driving, Adrien spotted Ladybug swinging past his car towards the Akuma. The kids got pretty excited seeing her, however Adrien wasn't but pretended to be so for his kids. Of course he loves his wife with all his heart and he loved to see her as both Marinette and Ladybug. All though in those situations he didn't wanted to see her as Ladybug, because where Ladybug is there is an Akuma.

He sighed as he still could see Ladybug swinging away in front of them. He hoped she would soon take a corner in the direction they weren't heading too, which unfortunately she didn't. The Akuma was near the Seine, it was some giant monster that controlled water. Great, again some element controlling Akuma.

Adrien could feel the worried stare of his wife as he had to pass the Akuma with his car, which was only 5 meters away. He really hated those kind of moment, apart from controlling water Adrien didn't knew anything more of the Akuma and so the Akuma was pretty unpredictable.

He pressed the Gas pedal almost completely in, causing the car to make more speed. Since this wasn't by far the first time he had to ride so recklessly, he was able to doge the water beam that got aimed on the car and took the first turn he could take. He knew that his Lady would keep the Akuma busy so he could let his speed become less as they continued to get to Master Fu's place.

A few minutes later he arrived at Master Fu's place. The kids rushed towards him as he just opened the door to give their uncle a hug. They told him enthusiastic about the way their father dodged the Akuma attack and how cool he did that. Adrien was glad that they didn't really see the danger of the Akuma's and can't really think of what could had happen with them. It makes it a lot easier to deal with the Akuma attacks.

"Thank you for looking after the kids whenever an Akuma appears, we really appreciate it, Master." Adrien said to Master Fu when the kids were already in the living room.

The kids had run off to the living room due to the fact that Master Fu has cookies standing on the small coffee table.

"It's no problem Adrien." Master Fu said. "You should go now, Paris needs you."
"Yeah… By the way, this is LadyNoir their new rabbit. They wanted to take it with them to you. I hope you don't mind." Adrien said as he handed Master Fu the rabbit.
"It's fine."
"Thanks a lot! I will come over with Marinette after the Akuma is purified there is something we have to talk about after."
"I'll make sure the water is hot by then."

With that Adrien had left to transform. Master Fu closed the door and walked to the Living room with LadyNoir in his hand. Emma and Hugo were sitting at the table as they munched on their chocolate chip cookies. He smiled at them, as he saw how much both of them represent their parents.

Master Fu walked over to them and placed the rabbit on the table.

"Mamma said you got a present for us from Santa!" Hugo said with his mouthful.

Master Fu laughed. He knew what the boy was talking about. He, Marinette and Adrien had discussed what reason they could use to if there happen to be an Akuma at Christmas. They came up with the idea of Master Fu having gifts from Santa. After all it would be the only reason that would succeed.

"I certainly do, but we will have something to drink and eat first." Master Fu said. ""Would you two like some lemonade and pancakes?"

Both kids nodded, they loved the lemonade they got from Master Fu and even the pancakes he baked was very loved with the kids, they even told him that his pancakes were even better than the ones made by their mother. He always made the lemonade and pancakes extra sweet for them, much to their parents dislike. All though Marinette got grown up in a bakery with the sweetest pastries imaginable, she did try to keep the sugary goods in their house as less as possible. Of course they got sweet things, but it was just a normal amount. After all she didn't want her kids to go through the same dentist experience she has to go through as a kid because of all the cavities.

However Master Fu liked to spoil the kids from time to time. All though he was dubbed as their uncle, he was more acting like a grandparent with all the sweets and presents he would give them. In the aspect of spoiling the kids, he was a combination of Tom and Gabriel. Tom loved to spoil the kids with pastries, her mom being just like her dad doubled the spoiling. Gabriel was the grandfather that would buy any present the kids wanted to have, no matter what price it cost or how much effort he had to put into it to get it, he would make it work. However this was pretty strange to Adrien and Marinette to see, as they knew how bad of a father he was to his son. They guessed that it was maybe because of feeling guilty for not being there for his son when he grew up and now take a second chance showing he can be a warmhearted man by spoiling his grandchildren.

Master Fu soon got back with a tray with two plastic glasses filled with sweet lemonade, three plates with pancakes and a cup of tea for himself on top of it. He placed the drinks and foods on the table. They ate their Pancakes and drunk their drinks before Master Fu collected the empty cups and plates and brought it to the kitchen. After that he went to get the gifts for the kids.

"This one is for Emma." He said as he handed Emma her present. "And this one is for Hugo." He handed the gift to him.

The kids ripped the paper of the gift in joy, both revealing a book once the paper was thrown somewhere in the room. Emma got a book that was filled with fairytales, that she would be able to read herself if she wanted to and Hugo got a book full of pictures of dragons and knights. They both thanked Santa out loud of the gift before they went to show their gifts at Ladynoir.

They didn't even have Ladynoir for an hour, but they already were seeing the rabbit as their family. Ladynoir however was still a bit tense, due to the car ride she has become quite shocked and a little stressed out. It wasn't surprising that she would be like that, however the kids didn't really understand that.

"Can we get Ladynoir out of her cage?" Emma asked.
"Please!" Hugo pleaded.

Master Fu ran his fingers through his little beard as he thought about it. He the rabbit looked quite stressed in her tiny cage, so maybe when he got some more space she would calm down.

"Okay we let her walk around the living room." he said.

The kids cheered happily in responds. Master Fu took the cage and placed it on the ground. He then closed the door so Ladynoir wouldn't have the chance to run away. After that he opened the cage and sat down on the floor with Emma and Hugo.

Ladynoir hopped carefully out of the cage and looked around her surroundings. She didn't showed much movement though as she was still a bit attentively.

"Why isn't she moving just yet?" Hugo asked. "I want to pet her."
"Can we get closer to her instead?" Emma asked.
"Be patient, Ladynoir will get to you when she is ready."
"But we don't have patience…" Emma said.
"Yeah we can't wait."
"Patience isn't simply the ability to wait, it's how we behave while we're waiting."

The kids nodded and then looked back at the rabbit. Master Fu chuckled he knew that the kids didn't really understood the wise things he shared from time to time, they were a little bit too young for that. Marinette and Adrien often had to explain to the kids what he meant with all those kind of sayings.

"Reach your hand out to her, she will get to you when she is ready to meet you. Stay calm and peaceful while doing so. Animals are amazing creatures that can feel when a human being is stressed or annoyed." Master Fu said as he reached his hand out to Ladynoir.

The kids watched what he was doing. They then looked at Ladynoir who was now slowly hoping to Master Fu's hand. Once she got there she sniffed at his hand. Master Fu then carefully petted Ladynoir's head, which she now allowed. The kids looked in awe as Master Fu was able to get Ladynoir over to him. They quickly copied what he did and patiently waited for Ladynoir to get over. It took some time but in the end they were able to pet their rabbit.

They continued to play with Ladynoir who had gotten way more comfortable with the kids, while Master Fu watched over them.

"I think you're parents are here." he said when the doorbell rang. "We should put her back in her cage. We don't want her to run away."

The kids nodded and let Master Fu pick up the rabbit and put it back in her cage. He then walked towards the door and opened it revealing the arguing couple.

"You told what?" Marinette asked.
"Come on Bugaboo we need to make a plan as soon as possible, we need a temporary Ladybug."
"We can't tell him now, the kids are there and besides I'm just pregnant for a few weeks."

Master Fu let out a cough, getting the attention of the two in no time. They probably didn't notice he had already opened the door for them.

"If a pregnancy is the case, then we do need to talk." Master Fu said calmly.

Marinette and Adrien just looked at him, still a bit in. Shock of his sudden appearance and embarrassed of the fact he had found out about it through an argument he wasn't supposed to hear. Master Fu told them to get inside, and they quietly followed him.

"Take a seat in the living room, I will get the tea."

Marinette and Adrien nodded. They walked into the living room while Master Fu went to the kitchen to prepare some tea. Once they got there Emma and Hugo got to them to show off their books they got from Santa. As well as told them they were allowed to play with Ladynoir. They weren't really that glad with the latter though, since they had said the kids could play with the rabbit a few days later. However they didn't let the kids know that.

Master Fu came back with three cups with tea and some lemonade for the kids to drink. He gave the drinks to the kids and told them to entertain themselves and not to disturb them as they needed to talk about important adult matters. The kids listened and went to play at the other side of the room, as far as possible from Master Fu and their Parents.

"We're so sorry you had to find out about my pregnancy through an argument." Marinette apologized right away.
"And we're so sorry we were having an argument in front of your front door."
"It's alright, you two don't need to apologize. I've known some of the past Ladybugs and Chat Noirs, even then they happen to have heated arguments while I was there too."
"How many have you known?" Marinette asked curiously.
"I've known five duos before you two became the new Ladybug and Chat Noir. Usually the Miraculous holders quit at the age between forty and fifty. Mostly because they couldn't keep up with their civilian lives and superhero lives or just because they thought it was getting too dangerous."
"So… we have to quit between those years?" Adrien asked a bit hesitant. He didn't want to give up his miraculous just yet, he loved it too much and he knew Marinette was thinking the same thing.
"No, you don't have to. It's your own choose when you want to stop. I've had a duo that quit when they were thirty five as well as a duo that continued until they were eighty years old."

Adrien could feel the tense feeling he got, the moment master Fu shared the age that most holders retired, slip off his shoulders.

"It's your choice when you want to retire, I don't have a saying it that." he said before he turned to Marinette. "Just like it's your choice how long you want to continue to be Ladybug before you go on a hiatus."

Marinette nodded. She knew about that fact already, she had been through two pregnancies before after all. She continued until she was pregnant for fourteen weeks, right after she had grown a bit of a baby bump. This was because she wanted to show Paris that she was pregnant and if she happened to disappear out of nowhere and some other ladybug appears, it would be temporary because of that reason. Of course they lied about how many weeks Ladybug was pregnant, just so it wouldn't be that suspicious when Marinette was pregnant at the exact same time. It worked quite well so they did the exact same thing when she was pregnant of Hugo.

However now that Hawk Moth got even more powerful than the years before, she knew Adrien would want her to go in hiatus right away. She understood her husband, but she was just pregnant for just two weeks. That would mean she would be in Hiatus for eight and a half months, excluding the extra weeks she needed to rest and take care of her baby. She didn't know if she could do that, she would miss Tikki a lot as she needed to be by the temporary holder all the time.

"I know that. I would like to continue with it until the fourteenth week just like last pregnancies, but I know that Mr. Agreste here doesn't agree with that." Marinette said.
"Of course I wouldn't agree with that, you saw this Akuma we just fought. It's more powerful than the Akuma we fought last week and it probably will continue like that. Akuma fights might have become less with the time, but my gut is telling me Hawk Moth just got pickier on his victims and only chooses the ones that would become powerful Akuma's. There is no way I would sent a pregnant woman in Akuma battles that gets worse and worse each time."
"I know that…" Marinette said and sighed. "I will go visit Alya tonight to tell her the news that we need her as temporary Ladybug again and that she could expect a visit of you again."

Alya had been a good candidate for the Ladybug earrings ever since the first pregnancy Marinette got through. First of all she had super hero experience as Rena Rouge and secondly she knew the ins and outs about Ladybugs powers. In the years her blog had grown pretty big and now she even has people working for her to make pictures and videos. So her blog would still be able to run with new material even though she would be the one saving Paris.

"You sure you want to go on hiatus already?" Master Fu asked. "You're the one that should make the choice, not your husband. Although I do understand that he would have a saying in this as well."
"I don't want to just yet, but it's the best for the baby. I don't want it to get hurt. Besides, Adrien does have a point, the Akuma attacks are getting worse every week."
"Okay. You can give the miraculous at your friend any time, just make sure to notify me when she's the one holding on the Ladybug earrings."
"We will."

The adults drank their tea while they talked a little more about the unborn baby and Alya being the temporary Ladybug again, until an hour or so had passed. Adrien had gotten the kids ready so they could go back home. They all said their goodbyes to Master Fu before they left. The kids where all happy of the way how they spent the evening with Master Fu and Ladynoir.

Once they got home Adrien put the kids into bed. They fell asleep quite quickly so Adrien was able to leave their room. He got back into the living room only to see Ladybug placing Ladynoir back in her bigger cage that was standing in the living room.

"Hey, you don't have to do it right now. You can visit Alya a few days later." Adrien said softly as he wrapped his arms around Ladybug.
"I know… but it's better to deal with it soon. I will make a statement that I'm pregnant so she can post it on her blog and after that got recorded, I will tell her she will be the temporary Ladybug once again."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, I will do this on my own. I don't want to leave the kids alone late at night."
"I understand. Good luck."
"Thank you. I'll see you later."

Ladybug pressed a kiss on Adrien's lips before she got out of his embrace and walked to the window. She opened it before she swung out of the window.
