A/N: Hey, sorry its been a while, I have a super long chapter to edit for the next chapter and I need to start finishing the story (still not sure where it is going!) :D I hope you enjoy. I changed the spelling of Louis back to the French spelling, thank you everyone for your feedback, im trying hard to work this around being a full-time mummy to my own 3 little monsters so its not always easy. but Im really really thankful for all your support.

Adriens lawyers worked quickly, before Marinette knew it she was working her dream job as a designer in Agreste Fashion. Adrien was a kind boss and would check in on her and her progress everyday. She had three more designers join the team and Adrien included her in the interview process as she would be leading the team.

She had been working for Adrien for a few weeks when it started again. He would come and check on her, sometimes spend most of the day talking with her as she drew designs. He even let her have making sessions where she could make some of the designs. She felt herself turn pink when she saw him. She found herself staring at him when he was in the room talking to another employee.

It was difficult. Chat Noir was now back in the picture and after 5 year of longing for him and hurting she found herself not knowing her feelings. It was like being a teenager all over again. Chat. Adrien, Chat, Adrien, her mind played over the two men over and over again.

It didn't help that the few times Adrien and Louis had met they had got along so well. Adrien seemed to really step into a father type role with Louis and Louis often cried when Marinette had to go to work and he wasn't allowed to come.

"Mummy, can we see Adrien today?" Louis big eyes bored into her own and she knew it was useless to argue.

"its my day off kitten" His eyes widened more and she sighed "Ill phone him, I'm sure he is probably busy though!"

She took her phone from her pocket and called Adrien, she caught a brief glimpse of his picture before she put the phone to her ear and her heart skipped a beat.

"Hey Mari, what's up?"

his voice as smooth as always didn't help her insides

"H-Hey A-Adrien" 'my gods Mari, get a freaking grip! He's your boss, you see him every day' she took a deep breath

"I have a little prodigy here begging to see you, if your busy then its fine, he understands."

The phone was snatched from her hand by the young boy.

"Adrien! Can we play today? You can come round here, mummy can get food from Nana and Papa and I can show you my new mega mech game. Pllllleeeeeeaaaseee!"

Adrien chuckled as he heard Marinette and Louis arguing over the phone. It seemed Marinette won.

"Adrien, I'm so sorry!" but Adrien cut off her apologise.

"Don't worry about it Mari, he's strong willed and knows what he wants, he has more of you in him then you realise" he smiled "I have a meeting but I'll head over straight after, probably around 11:30?"

Marinette nodded "ha, cha- his father is persistent also." she thought of all the times Chat would chase and flirt after her and even now he would message her daily to try and meet up. She still wasn't ready. "that's great, you really don't have to Adrien, thank you so much"

"Mari, its my pleasure, I just hope one day when I have children that I get one as great as Louis. See you later"

less than an hour later there was a knock at the door. "that will be Nana with our bakery feast" she smiled at Louis

"No no no its Adrien!" Louis squealed and ran to the door.

"Don't be silly kitten, he said he had a meeting and he will be here nearer to lunch" but he pushed past her and jumped at the door, not quite able to reach the high up door handle yet.

"No no its Adrien, I know it is, I feel it!" Marinette raised an eyebrow at him.

Louis had an uncanny knack for knowing things about her day or when she would be late, without her telling him. She often thought it may be because he was conceived whilst her and Chat were magically transformed. But he had never had a 'feeling' about anyone other than her, even his grandparents.

"Don't be silly Louis..." she opened the door and there stood one Adrien with a bag in each hand from her parents bakery and a very big smile.

"Adrien!" Louis jumped up and Adrien managed to catch him despite holding the bags.

Marinette stood a little shocked for a moment. How did Louis know, did he see the car maybe.. he must have. She closed the door as the pair made their way into the living room.

Adrien placed the bags on the counter between the kitchen and the living room and collapsed on the couch, Louis still in his arms.

"Oh" He moved to one side "who's this?" he pulled a stuffed toy out from behind his back where he had sat. "oh!" he grinned ear to ear "so who is the Chat Noir fan, you or mummy?" he raised his eyebrows at Louis.

"Both" Louis grinned "but he's my one, mummy's stays in her room with lady bug. They belong together just like mummy and daddy" Adrien felt a pang in his chest at these words, he didn't know if it was the fact that Marinette still held out for the absentee father or that he knew this kid was right, that Ladybug and Chat Noir belonged together.

Marinette came into the room. "what are you boys talking about now?" she smiled, having missed the conversation.

"I was telling Adrien about Chat Noir and Lady Bug!" Louis exclaimed

Marinette smiled "Adrien knows all about Chat Noir and Lady Bug, they were crime fighters when Adrien and I went to big big school together"

Louis looked up at Adrien in awe "did you ever meet them? Mummy met Lady Bug lots and she met Chat Noir a lot, Mummy tells me their stories all the time and Auntie Alya"

"Heh yeah kid I did" Adrien rubbed the back of his head and a far away look glazed over his eyes "Lady bug was fantastic!" he said dreamily and didn't notice Marinettes blush "so, who's your favourite? Mines ladybug."

"I like them both! They are a team, you cant have one without the other and that's why they are both sad now because they are both back but not together. Mummy loves chat noir, she says he's a sexy kitty and..."

"That's enough now" Marinette put her hand over Louis mouth, her blush very noticeable now and Adrien smiled at her and started laughing.

"Oh really, who would have known Marinette had a crush on Chat Noir" he laughed as Louis pulled his mothers hand away.

"She didn't crush him, she loved him, as much as she loves daddy" Adriens stopped laughing and looked at Marinette Quizzically.

He knew that as Chat and Adrien he had felt a connection with her and Chat had flirted with her a lot, but that was quite a statement for Louis to make.

"You loved Ladybug didn't you?" Adrien looked down at the boys statement as red started to creep up his cheeks.

"What happened to that game?" he chuckled as Lewis climbed off his lap and ran to the console.

"And what happened to that meeting?" Marinette looked at him.

"Ah, I blew it off, I didn't need to be there really, my assistant can handle it. Just please don't tell me you've been training Louis to be as good as you at this game?"

Marinette smiled in response, "I guess my good luck rubbed off on him a little" she winked, "good luck" and she sat down to watch them play and laughing at Adriens face knowing he was about to get his butt whipped by a 4 year old.
