Gabriel stood in his wife's secret layer. Just looking at his wife Emilie. She was so beautiful, so peaceful. If one did not know better. They would think that she was simply sleeping.

But, Gabriel knew that his wife had been dead for a year now. And the only thing that kept her looking so good. Was that she was in an air tight chamber, with temperatures below freezing.

Gabriel couldn't help but to keep thinking back to the night his wife died. How would he ever forget?

Flashback...

Gabriel stood in his office, waiting for his wife to return from her layer. It was late and there was a thunderstorm rumbling outside. Gabriel quickly noticed that it was taking his wife longer then usual to return to his office.

The worry finally became to much. And Gabriel went to his wife's secret layer, to see what was holding her up.

When he got there, he found Emilie on the ground, looking pale, and gasping for breath. Gabriel ran over and collected wife in his arms.

"Emilie, what on earth happened?" Gabriel asked.

M-My miraculous, i-it was struck by lightning." Emilie replied.

Gabriel ripped the peacock miraculous off of Emilie's jacket. But, it didn't seem to do anything.

"L-Listen to me, Gabriel. I-I don't have much time left. I need you to promise me. That you will get Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculous. So, you can bring me back." Emilie said.

Gabriel now had tears on his face. "No, no, you are going to be okay."

Emilie gently touched her husbands face, "I love you so much, my sweet Gabriel. Please take care of Adrien. Don't let anything happen to him. And please don't tell him what happen to me. But, make sure he knows that I love him more then life itself."

With those words said, Emilie took her last breath. And died right there in Gabriel's arms.

"Emilie, EMILIE! Wake up, PLEASE!" Gabriel cried, as he shook his wife.

Once it sunk in that Emilie was not waking back up. Gabriel embraced his wife and broke down crying. But, through his tears, he was able to mutter out,

"I promise."

End of flashback...

Gabriel sighed, before looking up at his wife. "I'm so sorry, Emilie. I have been trying everything. But, while I was trying to bring you back. I was ruining my relationship with Adrien. I know you wanted me to be good to him and take care of him while you were gone. And neither I have done. He needs me, and if I keep this up. Then I will lose him. And I don't even think bringing you back would be able to fix our relationship. So, please forgive me for this choice I had to make. I will always love you. You and Adrien were the best things that have ever happened to me. And I have already lost you. I can't lose him too. Thank you, for all the wonderful years we got to spend together. I will always remember them fondly."

Gabriel's face was now covered in tears again. As he walked up to the chamber, punched in the code, and took his wife into his arms. He held her for several moments and just cried. Hating that it had come to this.

Gabriel finally laid his wife on a pile of moss and kissed her ice cold lips.

"I'm so sorry, we'll see you again someday. I love you, my love." Gabriel said.

With those last words, Gabriel left the layer, and went to his room. Locked the door, turned off all the lights. And sobbed on his bed. His heart was already broken due to what was happening with Adrien. But, now it felt like someone had ripped his heart out of his chest. But, through his tears he kept thinking the same thing in his head.

"You are doing this for Adrien."

Even through this tears, that helped Gabriel remember why he was going through all of this heart ache, it was all for Adrien.
