Everything Changes –Chapter Seven

Alya POV

I woke up to the sound of my phone going off. Only this time it was a single message, from Chloe!? As it turns out, she had sent a photo to practically everyone in Paris! I opened the attachment, and looked at the photo. My mouth dropped wide open as I gaped at the image. Beneath the image was the caption "Soon the be, Miraculous Baby?". The picture was of Chat Noir with one arm around Ladybug and the other on her stomach. I was frozen stiff, in pure shock. I can't believe this! Chat Noir got Ladybug pregnant? How? When? Wait! This makes finding out Ladybug's true identity even easier! I just have to look for pregnant women in Paris. I have to tell Marinette. I dialled her number and waited for her to pick up. It rang through to message bank, so I called again. It took a while but she finally answered.

"Hey Alya." She said wearily. "Sorry, I didn't pick up sooner. Morning sickness, you know?"

"It's fine, but did you get the message Chloe sent to everyone?" I asked a little too excitedly.

"Um, no? I'll take a look now…" The other end of the phone went silent, until…

"AHHHHH!" Marinette screamed.

"Shocking, I know…." Next thing I knew she was rambling frantically as though I was Adrien! Marinette kept babbling and sqealing. I wasn't getting anywhere with her.

"Listen, girl, it seems that you're in shock, so I'm going to go…" And I hung up on her. Then I went out to find the real Ladybug.

"Excuse me, are you pregnant?" I asked someone on the streets for the 34th time. The response was another slap in the face. I sighed, rubbing my cheek. That's when I noticed someone on the other side of the street. She had navy blue hair and a slim Ladybug-like figure. I ran over to her.

"Excuse me?" I panted. I had to be very careful with my wording. I didn't have any more unslapped cheeks. "I don't to insult you in any way, but are you pregnant?" I cringed waiting for my lecture.

"Why yes I am. 10 weeks, why?" She studied my face, confused. My eyes lit up and I smiled broadly.

"Do you have time to come with me, ma'am? It's just- eh- a survey! On the pregnant women of Paris! Yeah, that's what it is…" What a lame excuse! She's never going to-

"Sure thing," She responded. I gaped at her before swiftly grabbing her by the wrist. I knew I just had to show Marinette. Once we got to her place, I knocked really hard on the door.

"MARINETTE! MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG!" I called out for her. When she didn't answer I took it a step further. "MARINETTE, I FOUND THE TRUE LADYBUG!" That made Marinette open the door.

"No you didn't Alya-" Marinette stopped dead when she saw who I had with me. "ALYA! Did you kidnap someone from the streets?!" She looked outraged. She walked over to me, removed my hand from the lady's and scowled at me.

"I am so sorry for my friend's rude behaviour," She apologised for me. The lady left and Marinette dragged me inside.

"Marinette! Why did you kick Ladybug out?" I exclaimed madly.

"You can't just kidnap innocent people Alya! She wasn't Ladybug!" Marinette squealed.

"You don't know that!" I took a step closer to her. She took a step back.

"Yes I do!" Her face began to go very red and she spoke very quickly.

"No you don't!"

"YES, I DO!"

"How? How do you know that?!"

"BECAUSE I'M LADYBUG!"

Silence. I didn't dare speak. I just stared at her. That is until she started crying.

"Oh, Marinette. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to! Please don't cry!" I walked over to hug her.

"DAMN YOU PREGNNCY HORMONES!" She cried, tears still streaming from her eyes.

"Is it true, Marinette? Are you actually Ladybug?" I asked softly, not wanting to make things worse. She nodded and then called out for a Tikki? Next thing I knew; a small pink bug thing came flying out at me.

"Hello! I'm Tikki. Marinette's kwami!" I blinked a few times, as I had no idea what that was.

"On a more important note; Is Chat Noir the father?" I questioned, remembering the photo. Marinette's eyes widened.

"NO! Chat? The father? NO!" She yelled, waving her arms about. I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Then how do you explain the photo?" I grabbed my phone, and opened the message from Chloe.

"Chat was just being an idiot! Laughing at the fact that I was a pregnant Ladybug!" Marinette defended. I shrugged, still in awe when suddenly thee doorbell rang. Marinette jumped up, wiping the tears off her face, with a squeak that sounded like 'he's early'.

"Hang on, Alya. You head on upstairs and I'll meet you there," She muttered trying to push me up the stairs. Marinette walked to the front door and opened it, not knowing that I was still there.

"Ok Adrien, don't say anything," Marinette interrupted as he was about to say something. "Alya is here, and if you don't want her to know that you're the father, you are here to work on designs with me, ok?"

"YOU SLEPT WITH ADRIEN AGREST!?"

I don't even know! Ha!😂

Don't judge! Hope you like it!

Sticks and Stones don't normally hurt me…

But words sure can hella hurt!
