Everything Changes –Chapter Four

Adrien POV

As I stepped into Marinette's room, chills ran up my spine and I tensed up. Marinette was scaring me.

"Hey Mari…" I said nervously, scratching the back of my neck.

"Adrien… we need to talk," Marinette said quietly and a lot nicer than before. "Take a seat." I sat down awkwardly.

"Adrien, you remember that…night… about a week ago…?" She started.

"Y-yes," I cringed.

"Well…" She began again. Suddenly I found my eyes scanning the room. I stopped on three white sticks laying on the floor. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. Marinette caught my gaze. Her eyes widened too and she scurried to push them under the bed. It was too late. I had seen.

"ARE YOU-" I jumped up, hands flying to my head, in shock and horror. "ARE YOU PREGNANT?! She gave a very small nod.

"NO, NO, NO, NO!" I screamed, in disbelief. I must admit; I was being very over dramatic. "HOW COULD THIS BE?! OMG! DOES ANYONE KNOW?!"

"Only Alya. But she doesn't know who the father is…" She replied. I shook my head.

"Your parents' aren't going to be there for the birth. That leaves me responsible for it! OMG! If my dad ever found out he'd kill me… Well at least you aren't some superhero who goes jumping around saving Paris, right?" I giggled nervously and so did she.

"You d-do want t-to be a part of its l-life, right?" Marinette asked shakily.

"Of course Mari. I couldn't let you do it by yourself."

Two Days Later

I jumped down, onto the platform below. Ladybug was already there. She was leaning against the railing with her head in her hands, asleep.

"Ladybug?" I tapped her on the shoulder. Her hands slipped out from under her and she fell over. It woke her up, let's just say that.

"Chat? When did you get here?" Ladybug says wearily. She stands up and looks me in the eyes.

"A few minutes ago. Why are you so tired, milady? Rough day?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. I haven't been feeling the best lately." She rubs her eyes and yawns.

"Really? How come?"

"I really shouldn't say," Her eyes dart away and she yawns again.

"Wow, milady. You're lucky that there's no akuma. I don't think you'd be able to stay awake for that," I giggled.

"Chat? I think I'm gonna go home. I have a headache and this probably isn't the best thing for it…" She turns away to head off. I was left alone, again.

"Mari?" I knocked on the door again. "Marinette, are you home?" I checked the door. It wasn't locked. I walked inside and upstairs to Mari's bedroom. When I opened the door, Mari was slouched over desk, pencil still in her hand, asleep.

"Mari?" I tapped her on the shoulder. Her hand slipped and she poked herself in the eye with her pencil. It woke her up, let's just say that.

"Adrien? When did you get here?" Mari says wearily. She stands up and looks me in the eyes.

"A few minutes ago. Why are you so tired, Mari? Rough day?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. I haven't been feeling the best lately." She rubs her eyes and yawns.

"Poor Mari. Well I just came to see if you were alright after I left the other day. Well I should be heading back home now, so, as long as you're ok." As I turned to leave, I felt Mari grab hold of my wrist. She looked up at me with the saddest baby doll eyes ever.

"Please Adrien. Please stay." She asked nervously. She looked at me eyes beginning to tear up.

"Sure thing, Mari. Sure thing."

Don't judge! Hope you like it!

Sticks and Stones don't normally hurt me…

But words sure can hella hurt!
