Everything Changes –Chapter Five

Marinette POV

A WEEK LATER

"What do you mean you can't see anything?! I look fat!" I pouted, stamping. I could see Adrien was enjoying this, with that big smile plastered on his face.

"Really Mari, you're not even three weeks pregnant yet! You look fine!" Adrien laughed. I just scowled at him.

"Adrien!" I wined.

"I'm sorry, it's just… how are you going to handle the later months, if your like this now?" He continued laughing.

"Ha ha," I faked. "Speaking of funny; have you told your dad yet?" My turn to laugh.

"Um- no- ugh, I mean, not yet- I mean, does he have to know?" Adrien rambled.

"Of course he does! He's going to be a grandfather!" I told him, slapping him gently on the arm.

"Pfft, him? A grandfather? He wouldn't care less about being a grandfather! He's heartless! Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be Hawkmoth!" We both began laughing at that joke. That's just stupid! As we were laughing I suddenly felt ill again. I drew my hands to my mouth and made a gagging sound.

"Morning sickness again?" Adrien asked following me into the bathroom. I nodded my head before leaning over the toilet. He held my hair up, out of my face for me. When I was done, I wrote in my notebook.

"Twice in an hour. Well, it's worse than yesterday but not as bad as Monday," I said out loud.

"You're so calm with this, I love it," Adrien said smiling.

"Thanks!" I look at my watch and realised the time. "Oh Adrien, you better leave now. I have to be somewhere in 20 minutes."

"Damn, so do I," He exclaimed checking the time for himself. I walked him to the front door.

"Oh Adrien, don't forget, I have an obstetrician appointment tomorrow. You coming?" I asked.

"Course I am! See you then!" After bidding him farewell I ran back upstairs. I found Tikki in the corner of my room, munching on a cookie.

"Marinette! I think Adrien is beginning to like you! I mean like-like you!" Tikki exclaimed while stuffing her face full of cookie.

"What?! Tikki, that's insane!" I choked.

"I'm just saying what I saw!" Tikki protested.

"Tikki? I have a question… if I am to keep…growing…how am I to fit the ladybug suit? Also, I'm pregnant… should I really be jumping around saving Paris?"

"The suit will grow with you Marinette. And you don't have to do the 'jumping around' part but you can't stop being Ladybug. Chat Noir can't purify the akumas without you!"

"Thanks Tikki! Now, Tikki Spots On!" I exclaim. Once transformed, I take a look at myself in the mirror.

"Ugghh! Adrien doesn't know what he's talking about! I do look fat! I hope Chat doesn't notice…"

I approach the landing where Chat is waiting. Surprisingly, he was early.

"Hey Chat! What's the news?" I called as I approached him.

"Just a bank robbery, that's all. We should be out of here in ten minutes." Chat replied. No flirting, no bad puns, nothing. There was something wrong with Chat and I wanted to know what it was. We had better stop the thief first though.

I tagged behind a little, just to be safe. Chat caught the thief, returned the money and made his way back to me. I was sitting on the roof of the bank, just watching.

"Not feeling very helpful today, are we milady?" Chat panted as he approached me. I shook my head. He didn't need to know why.

"'Chat, is something wrong? You've been acting off lately." I asked putting my hand on his. He tensed up as though he was doing something wrong.

"No, no. Everything is fine…" He stated blandly, moving his hand out from under mine. That's when my hormones began to kick in. I leant forward and kissed Chat on the lips. I kissed Chat! I am a horrible person. Well his response was completely unexpected, I'll tell you that!

"Ladybug, NO!" He pushed me away and sighed. "I'm in love with someone else, ok?"

And that's when it hit me. Or it didn't really hit me. It hit Chat. Morning sickness.

Don't judge! Hope you like it!

Sticks and Stones don't normally hurt me…

But words sure can hella hurt!
