Gabriel's Return

Negotiations At Dinner

They arrived at the restaurant, where they had booked a table for seven thirty in the evening barely in time. The teenagers had already been ready to leave, so had Emilie, when Nathalie, who they had let sleep until it was almost seven, had eventually gotten up too and immediately had rushed into the bathroom to throw up.

As this had cost them quite some time, because she afterwards was feeling a little dizzy and needed a couple of minutes before she was able to get under the shower and then into her clothes. Emilie, who had watched her old friend with concern, as she ran towards the toilet, had soon followed her and stayed with her all of the time, just to make sure, she was alright. Then she had wrapped her into a towel and helped her back to the bed, to sit on the mattress, while she brought Nathalie her clothes and even helped her put them on.

The young, pregnant woman was not only blushing deeply, but also tried to tell Emilie, that she was very well capable of doing it herself.

But the actress just smiled at her and cupped her cheek with one hand to then place a very light peck on her lips.

"Just relax, dear. I don't want to take any risk. You could barely stay on your feet after you stopped vomiting. And now don't be so stubborn all of the time and let me help you. You don't want us to be late, right?"

That had made her gasp. Being as good at her job as she was, she always was on time, always finished her work, before leaving her workplace and always made a schedule for the next day.

"Fine. But only because I hate it to be late!" Nathalie growled.

With a grin Emilie knelt down and helped her into her panties and trousers, than held out her hands to draw Nathalie to her feet and pull them both up.

"See," she smiled, "it wasn't that bad. Now come, we don't want to keep them waiting."

Their hands once more intertwined, the women exited the room to almost bump into Adrien and Marinette, who had just left theirs.

"Oh my, you look gorgeous, sweetie!" Emilie gushed out as her gaze landed on the teenage girl. To Nathalie she hummed, "doesn't she look incredible?"

"Yes, she does. And so do you, Adrien. The new look suits you. The plain, black shirt is a lot better than the one with the stripes. Especially without the white short on top of everything." Nathalie agreed.

The young couple blushed in an instant, both muttering a short,

"Thank you!"

They entered the little restaurant, where not only Kagami and Felix, but also Ámelie and Mrs Tsurugi were waiting for them already.

Emilie gasped and narrowed her grasp around Nathalie's hand.

Her twin sister though, jumped to her feet and ran towards them, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"Emilie! I've missed you so very much! I won't even ask, what happened right now.I am just glad to have you back, healthy and alive. Same for you!" she exclaimed to then pull the young assistant into her arms.

Nathalie smiled at her and gently hugged her back.

"Be a little careful with Nath, Amy! She got herself knocked up!" Emilie whispered into her sibling's ear.

Amelie looked at the young woman with a puzzled face, then she understood and took a deep breath, stating,

"I never understood, how the two of you could still be friends after all that happened between Gabriel and... But as it isn't of my concern, I won't question any further. So, you're having Gabriel's child then, Nathalie? What did Adrien say? And can you please let go of each other's hands? Act appropriately for once in your life, Emilie!"
