miraculously pregnant 🤍

chapter 43

nobodies POV

marinette stood forward, facing the bakery's door, her hand clutching her baby pink flowered bag

she wanted to turn around, grab adriens hand, and wake up from a nightmare

she knew adrien was a dream, nothing at all like a nightmare, but felt like what happened after she let the news out would be nothing short of a horror story

adrien saw how tense she was, and stepped forward, squeezing her hand for good luck

"it'll be okay" he whispered into her ear

marinette squeezed his hand back in response

"i hope" she plainly said

they both took a step closer to the bakery, breathing heavily

maris POV

i stared at the door, my stomach pounding

maybe it was the baby, or just my breakfast

"a-adrien" i whined, holding my stomach

i felt as if i was going to be sick

and to no surprise, i was

nobodies POV

adrien wiped maris mouth with his shirt, and then tucked that part into his shorts

"don't worry mari" he said, placing a hand on her shoulder, and then placing another hand on her stomach

"we can do it" he smiled

mari tried to force a smile out back, but struggled

"ding" the bakery's door chimed as the pair entered

"marinette!" her parents yelled in unison, running over to greet her, throwing their hands around her in joy

"and... adrien?" sabine said in a surprised happiness

tom held out a hand to shake adriens

"hello there son" he smiled

adrien smiled warmly at tom

"nice to meet you again mr dupain" he said as he shook toms giant hand

sabine chimed as she greeted adrien

"i didn't know you two were friends" she smiled at marinette, knowing adrien has been her crush for ages, excited to see marinette was no longer stammering as much

"well uh dorm room mates" she stammered out, turning flustered

"yeah sabine, marinette and i were assigned the same dorm room" adrien smiled, holding maris hand behind his back to support her

"oh how wonderful!" sabine chirped, throwing her hands together in delight

"anyways you two, come through come through, we've arranged some lunch, but it'll be ready in thirty minutes" sabine said, ushering them through to the lounge

"i've even baked a special pie!" tom sang

"you two can wait upstairs in marinettes room if you'd like" sabine smiled at the pair

"thanks mrs dupain-cheng" adrien smiled, discreetly placing a hand behind marinette's back, so her parents didn't notice

"thanks mom" mari smiled at her nervously, brushing out some hair from her face

"no problem sweetie, me and your father can't wait to hear all about college when lunch is prepared" sabine said, before her and tom walked back to the bakery
