After looking for her husband all around the house, holding little Louis in her arms, Marinette headed outside into their rather expansive garden. Still no sign of Adrien. Hearing a giggle, she looked for the source of the noise. Her gaze softened as she spotted her eldest son, Hugo and her daughter, Emma.
And then she spotted the biggest child of them all, her husband.
"What happened to that swear that you were never going to climb a tree again?" She called up to him. He blushed as her remembered back to that day fifteen years ago, both thirty years old now.
"I broke that two weeks later when you saved me, again."
"Well Alya and Nino saved us that first time. I only stopped your loneliness."
"That really did save me though." A blush appeared on Marinette's cheeks. "That day was the start of a beautiful friendship." She laughed, Louis starting to wake up.
"Let's get you guys down from there." Marinette said, chuckling from the predicament her family got into. Louis had woken up by now and wanted out of his mother's arms anyway. Placing Louis down on the porch, she stretched herself out.
"It's been a few months since I last did this..." She muttered to herself. Her kids all lit up and watched in glee, Adrien included. He still couldn't believe that his lovely Marinette was also his Lady.
"Tikki, transform me!" She called, the Kwami that rested on her shoulder flew into her earrings, the suit and mask forming on her, revealing her alter-ego of Ladybug.
"That's so cool mama!" Emma shouted from her perch, eyes sparkling in amazement.
"She is, isn't she?" Adrien agreed, sighing. Marinette latched her yoyo to a branch in the tree, close enough to grab her family, and pulled herself towards it.
Firstly, she grabbed Hugo and Emma, jumping down from the tree and landing softly on the green grass below. They ran out of her arms and sat on the porch next to their younger brother of three years old.
She returns up the tree to her dorky cat husband.
"Shall I finally save my kitty cat from its hell?" She asks him, holding a hand out.
"Yes please." He said, grabbing her hand eagerly. Marinette scooped Adrien up into her arms, bridal style, and landed once again on the ground. "Thank you, my lady."
"No problem, Adrien Dupain-Cheng." She said, tapping his nose with a wink before she detransformed into her normal, civilian self.
"My Ladybug senses were tingling." A voice called from the edge of the garden.
"Aunt Alya!" The children of seven, five and two called, Hugo and Emma running towards the woman while Louis teeter-tottered his way over.
"Be careful little monkeys!" Alya teased, holding her bulging stomach.
"It's great to see you Alya, how's Nino been?"
"Exhausted. His DJing means he rarely is awake when I am and when he is, he is completely out of it."
"That's a shame." Adrien said, missing seeing his friend. Marinette nodded in agreement.
"How are your little 'angels' getting on?" Marinette asked, stepping closer to the pregnant woman.
"Evangeline is alright, she absolutely adores her dolls that you made her and every night reads my scripts for the 'fictional' piece about you two." She said with a happy smile on her face. "Felix here;" she started, giving her stomach a light pat, "has been kicking me on a regular basis. He is dying to get out of me but I keep telling him he has to wait a little longer."
"So it's a he then?"
"Yeah, we had a check as we wanted a name sorted and ready."
"Would you like anything to eat? Drink?"
"No, it's alright. Next time Nino is off work, we'll come round for a chat."
Marinette's smile fell a little before it picked up again. She was disappointed that her friend couldn't stay but in all fairness, she rarely had the time to go visit her or the rest of her friends, many of whom were her old classmates. Even Chloé. After an incident with Ladybug, Chloé changed for the better. She apologised to the class, to Sabrina, even to Marinette. To say she was shocked was an understatement when Chloé came up to her with her hands behind her back, looking nervous.
After that had passed, they actually got on alright. Sure they still had their differences that they argued about from time to time, but there were a few things they shared in common. It was after Chloé told her 'embarrassing' stories about Adrien when he was younger, that she was able to talk to the boy easier, the stuttering disappearing. When she heard of stories such as 'who stole my teddy bear?', she realised that she had no reason to be nervous around him.
It wasn't until just before they went to engage Hawkmoth in the final battle that anyone else knew. They were eighteen at that point, used to the job of defeating the Akuma's for three years. They revealed themselves to each other first, breaking into tears of joy when they saw who the other was.
Then Marinette started to freak out. All the stuff she and Chat had done together, the touches, their partnership, that they kissed, it was her and Adrien.
They told Nino and Alya next. They found no reason not to tell them, the were going to defeat Hawkmoth and after he was gone, his Miraculous away from him, there wouldn't be as major of a threat again. Alya fainted. Simple as. Nino laughed until he realised all the stuff that happened, that Adrien did, which resulted in a punch in the arm, most of the reason being betrayal for not being told sooner.
They defeated Hawkmoth in a long, intense battle. Their biggest enemy they would ever face was none other than Gabriel Agreste. Oh how he tried to convince Adrien to join him, Gabriel knowing who Chat was after seeing Adrien wearing the ring, swearing that with his and Marinette's miraculous, they would get Adrien's mother, back. She could see the struggle he faced in this, oh how he wanted to see his mother again but he couldn't just let Hawkmoth win, even if he was his father. He responded to the deal with a swift kick to the groin.
They called a few close friends together, those they felt deserved to know. So their families, excluding Gabriel who had been taken into police custody before court. They took the miraculous to Master Fu, who when the pair reached for their miraculous to return, told them to keep them, that Paris needed heroes like them to keep Paris safe.
Many of the adults just nodded when they found out, it made many of their absences and 'excuses' make much more sense than previously. Chloé asked for a selfie, which Marinette was confused and was about to transform when Chloé stopped her.
"I want a selfie with you Marinette, you as yourself."
Years went by and Marinette and Adrien got engaged, married and had Hugo before they knew it, Emma following two years later and then little Louis. When villains found out that Ladybug became a mother, they expected her to have mellowed down and be easier to fight against. Oh, how they were wrong. She was angrier, mainly as they seemed to attack or go on their escapades when she was in the middle of changing a diaper or feeding or something else.
The crime rate dropped dramatically, no one dared face her.
"I hope that isn't too far away, I need to speak to my best bro." Adrien replied, arms crossed against his chest.
"I'm sure he wants to speak to you as well." Alya chuckled before looking at her watch. "I better go, I left Ange by herself, well Nino's sleeping, so I don't want the place ruined."
"It was great seeing you Alya." Marinette said, wrapping the girl in a hug. They embraced for a while before separating. "You can take Ange here for a while so we can babysit, to let you guys have some time to yourself."
"Mari, we both know who the better babysitter is." Alya winked before heading to the gate, waving behind her. The Dupain-Chengs waved back, seeing the family friend off.
"Mama, papa?" Hugo asked in a innocent tone.
"What is it my kitten?" Adrien asked his son, bending down to be eye level with him.
"Can we have a treehouse?"
The two adults shared one glance that spoke a thousand words in a second.
"No."
guest: bunny approve? Yes!
