Our Secret Affairs

Chapter 10: Family?

Adrien simply wanted to send him a letter, or a message, Marinette didn't typically like Gabriel either. Sure he used to be her inspiration, but after finding out he was hawkmoth, no one really liked him. He had put the city of Paris in danger multiple times.

Sure he used to sell over half a million products a day, making him one of the richest men in Paris, but now he was selling 1000 products a day. Which was still good, but Adrien hated his father. "Do we have to tell my father? I mean..."

Adrien looked to the side, "He's never been there for me, why would he care that I have a baby? He could put him or her in danger." Adrien said crossing his arms. Marinette only smiled at him, "Adrien... I know you don't want that. I don't either but he's going to hear about it eventually."

Adrien sighed, "Then let him. Who cares? I don't want to face him." Marinette sighed and hugged him tightly, "Ok. We won't go." Said Marinette, Adrien simply smiled at her running his fingers through her hair. Marinette had aged perfectly.

"Can we-" she shushed him, "We can't. The baby." Adrien pouted his lips making Marinette giggle. They months had passed by like days, they had thrown a baby shower and Marinette had gotten lots of support from her old classmates and friends.

The couple cried in joy at the first gel treatment, to the first kick, to the first gender reveal, to the first contraction, So when her water broke... Adrien freaked out.

"COME ON MARINETTE!" Marinette smiled weakly, finding it cute at how worried he was. "Adrien, be calm-" the boy picked her up, lifting her into the car with ease, adrenaline and excitement coursing through his veins.

They had arrived at the hospital, immediately being taken to the the emergency room. Adrien wanted to cry seeing his love scream in pain, but he knew that this was the start of something beautiful. He squeezed her hand in support, her heavy breathing making him nervous.

She cried out in pain, the doctor smiled, "One last push!" She bit her lip, giving it her all. One moment later, there was a baby wrapped with cloth in her hands, a tear rolled down her cheek. "H-hi little Emily." She whispered, Adrien holding both of them as he stared at the miracle.

The new born cried, the air and space confusing her. She held onto her father's finger, seeming her hand was so small. Adrien let a tear of joy roll down his cheek, "H-hi Emma." He said, practically speechless. It was at that moment, he had decided to devote his life to his new family.

The family he had created, and already loved with all his heart. He would do anything for them, for his little Emma, and the love of his life. The experience of parenting was exhausting yet exciting. Emma seemed like a ball of joy.

But she did cry a lot, but that situation was solved once he had bought her a Ladybug binki. She loved it, seeming her mother loved Ladybugs and actually used to dress and save the day as one. Emma was one of the best things that happened to him besides meeting Marinette.

So as he asked her to marry him, he was nervous as hell. He didn't want her to say no yet he was confident she would say yes. And Marinette felt flustered, shook. She wanted to scream yes but she couldn't find herself to speak, so she whispered, "Yes."

The years passed by, the two having three children, Emma, Louis, and Hugo. Emma looked like her mother with green eyes, Louis looked like his mother but a boy, and Hugo looked exactly like his father but with Blue eyes. Speaking of Adrien's father...

He regret so many things, not being with his son, missing so much of his life, not excepting The fact that his wife could not be brought back. He hadn't appreciated the only family he had left, his son. And now he had a family of his own.

He had become a completely different man. He had excepted his dark past, and had sold The mansion and began to travel. He brought back artifacts and explained them to his grandchildren, making sure to bring them a gift. He would stay for a month and then leave for a month.

Adrien was happy his father had excepted himself. Sure he was mad about him being hawkmoth but he had to forgive him. He just needed to, besides, he would've never met Ladybug, and things wouldn't have turned out this way.

The couple may have started off with a secret. A secret Identity, a secret crush, some secret letters, to a secret affair, to a married couple with three adorable children. A happy family, and this time, is really was happily ever after.

And THAT, was no secret. ;-)
