Everything Changes –Chapter Three

Alya POV

A WEEK LATER

I woke up to find that I had eleven missed calls and nineteen messages. All from Marinette. It must've been really urgent so I called her back straight away. She picked up almost instantly.

"What's up girl?" I asked.

"Alya, I'm late…" She said quietly.

"For what? A date? A meeting?" I thought hard as to why she was calling at this time for.

"No, Alya. I'm late…" Marinette really emphasised the 'late'. Then it finally clicked.

"OMG, girl!" I was shocked but smiling a tad.

"But, I'm never late or early!" Marinette panicked.

"Ok, don't worry. I'll be over in a few minutes. Is there anything you want me to bring?" I asked grabbing everything I would need.

"…a test please…" She almost squeaked. I just stood there blinking for a bit.

"Ok, sure."

After stopping at the pharmacy, I arrived at Marinette's house a few minutes later. Her parents weren't home so I just let myself in. I went upstairs to where Marinette was pacing nervously.

"Here you go, girl," I tossed the pharmacy bag onto the bed. She frantically reached in to grab the test out.

"W-why are there three?" Marinette whispered.

"You know; just to be sure," I said. "Now you go into the bathroom. If it has one red line, that means no. If it has two, that means yes. Come and show me afterwards," She nodded her head.

Ten minutes later, Marinette ran back out with her eyes closed and all three tests in her hands.

"I can't do it!" She screamed, shoving the tests into my arms.

"EW! What makes you think I want to touch them!" I shouted back, but being a good friend, I looked down and read them for her.

"Congratulations, Marinette! You're pregnant! Who's the father?" I smiled. I then realised that I was still holding the pregnancy tests and dropped them on the floor. I looked over at Marinette who was frozen solid. Then she screamed. Like, really screamed.

"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're not happy?" I exclaimed over her screaming.

"This is BAD! This is VERY BAD! What am I going to tell him? One night, my first time, pregnant!? I think the universe hates me, Alya." Marinette collapsed in a heap on her bed.

"Girl, it's gonna be ok. You will be alright. It's not like you're Ladybug or something who goes jumping about saving Paris anyway!" I tried to comfort her. She looked at me wide-eyed and then screamed again.

"Well, I think I'm gonna go now!" I screamed over her screaming again. "Bye, Mari!"

Marinette POV

I picked up my phone and nervously dialled Adrien's number. Before he even had a chance to say hello, I screamed.

"ADRIEN!"

"Woah, Marinette? What wrong?" Was his response.

"ADRIEN! I NEED YOU TO COME OVER!" I shouted again.

"Ok, Mari, but if I come over deaf, it's not my fault…" He joked.

"THIS IS NOT A JOKE, ADRIEN! JUST GET HERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!" And then I hung up.

"Tikki, do you think that was a little mean?" I asked the kwami, as she poked her head out of my clutch. "OMG! TIKKI! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!"

"What? How, Marinette?" She asked, looking confused.

"YOU TOLD ME TO 'JUST GO WITH IT'!" I screamed again. Tikki blushed.

"Marinette, that's not really what I meant by that…"

Suddenly the doorbell rang. I poked my head out of the window and screamed at the blonde boy below.

"ADRIEN AGRESTE! GET UP HERE!" He looked up at me, startled, smiled nervously, and then headed inside.

"Yes Marinette, that was a little mean…" Tikki spoke up.

"YOU DON'T GET A SAY IN THIS!" Suddenly I heard Adrien knock on my door and then enter.

"Hey Mari…" He said nervously, scratching the back of his neck.

"Adrien… we need to talk."

Don't judge! Hope you like it!

Sticks and Stones don't normally hurt me…

But words sure can hella hurt!
