The Romantic Adventures of the Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir

17 years later...

Marinette woke up early, quickly turning her alarm off to not wake up Adrien. She jumped out of bed and put on her bunny slippers.

She walked across the hall and knocked on the door. The light was on under the door.

"Rose?" Marinette said, opening the door.

Rose was pulling on some flowery shoes, to match her flowery shirt. "Hi mom!" She said, hopping up and down to get her shoe on. Her long blond hair was in pigtails, much like Marinette's used to be everyday. Her bright blue eyes sparkled when she finished pulling on her shoes.

Marinette smiled at her. "Well, I was coming in here to wake you up...but I can see you're already awake."

Rose smiled, sheepish. "Well, it's the first day of school! I have to be ready to go soon."

Marinette rolled her eyes. Rose would be starting 9th grade today and she hadn't stopped talking about it.

"Oh! I'm going to go make breakfast!" Rose said. She raced to her mom, bounding with energy, and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll make you some too!"

"Thank you Rose." Marinette said to the already retreating Rose. She shook her head, amused. Where did she get all that energy from?

Marinette frowned when she turned to the door to her right. Time to get her eldest up.

She knocked on the door, hesitating when there was no response. "Kaiden?" She asked, opening the door.

Kaiden hadn't heard her. His arm was flung over his face, mouth lazily held opened. His messy black hair all over the place.

Marinette walked over and shook him gently awake. His green eyes opened widely and he groaned.

"MoooooOOOmm." He whined. "It's summer vacation." He rolled over and put a pillow to his face. Marinette glared at him.

"Today is the first day of school." Marinette informed him, pulling his covers off of him. "You have to get going! Your sister is already up!"

Kaiden groaned and rolled over again. Marinette rolled her eyes. "If you're not up in the next five minutes, I'm bringing a glass of water."

Marinette turned around and marched out of the room, hoping that her threat would work. She sighed. She knew where Kaiden got his tiredness from. She smiled as she remembered all the times that she would stay in bed until the last possible second.

When she got downstairs, she was pleasantly surprised to find Adrien eating some pancakes.

"You know Marinette," he said as way of greeting, "Our daughter is going to be a famous chef one day. Try some of these pancakes!"

Marinette gladly took a fork and started eating.

Rose giggled and spun around, serving more pancakes onto a plate. "Where's Kaiden?" She asked, holding the plate up expectantly.

Marinette was about to respond when she heard footsteps behind her. "Right here." She turned around and smiled at the grumpy looking Kaiden.

Kaiden sat down and brushed the hair out of his eyes. "Where are my pancakes?" He asked Rose.

Rose giggled. "You have to ask nicely."

Kaiden smiled. "Can I please have some pancakes?"

Rose handed him a plate that she had drawn a smiley face with syrup on it. He smiled at her, and Marinette felt a surge of pride. They were both growing into such nice people!

Kaiden started eating his pancakes, looking downcast. Adrien asked, "What's up sport?"

"Leon was in my class last year...He might be in my class this year. And if it's not him...it'll probably be Leeroy."

Adrien and Marinette glanced at each other. Leon and Leeroy were Chloe's and Kim's twins.

"You know," Marinette said. "Chloe used to annoy me in class when we were in grade school."

Kaiden looked awestruck. "But...Chloe's so nice!"

Adrien laughed. "Not back then. She put gum on Marinette's seat the second day of school. I got blamed for it."

"Really?" Rose asked, wide eyed.

"Yeah. But, turns out, if that hadn't happened, Marinette probably wouldn't have liked me as much as she does."

Marinette blushed. "I probably would have...eventually liked you."

Adrien laughed and put his arm around her. "Only joking sweetheart."

The phone rang and Marinette raced off to answer it. Adrien glanced at the clock and encouraged the kids to hurry up. He was getting them out the door when Marinette ran back in, out of breath and looking very excited.

"Go on kids. Your dad will be there in a minute." She said, breathlessly. Kaiden and Rose glanced at each other and walked to the car. Marinette waited until they were safely in before turning to Adrien with a wild look on her face. "You know how Alya and Nino were trying to find a place to settle down for a while?" She asked. Adrien nodded. "Well...They decided to go back to Paris! Their kid, Vivian, is going to be going to school with Kaiden and Rose!"

Adrien smiled. Nino and Alya traveled a lot, both for Alya's journalism career and Nino's DJing. Their daughter Vivian was a year younger than Kaiden.

"Vivian is such a sweetheart!" Marinette continued. "I can't wait for Kaiden and her to get married so Alya and I can be related..."

"Whoa whoa!" Adrien said, putting his hands on her arms to calm her down. "You can't be getting too excited. If Kaiden thinks we want them together, then the last thing that he will want to do is get with her."

Marinette nodded, slowly. "Okay. Okay. We'll let it be a surprise. Vivian skipped a grade and might be in his class!"

Adrien rolled his eyes. "I have to go sweetheart." He kissed Marinette goodbye.

Marinette watched Adrien get into the car and wink at her. Marinette tried to conceal her excitement but couldn't help jumping up and down.

"Daddy?" Rose said. "Why is Mom so excited? Is she happy to see us go?" Rose grinned, showing that she was kidding.

Adrien started the car. "Nah. She just found out that Vivian is going to be at you guys's school."

There was a squeal and a groan at the same time.

"Ugh." Kaiden said. "Rose and Mom will never stop talking about her now."

Rose playfully hit his arm. "Shut up! She's a great person."

Adrien chuckled and started to drive to the school.

Little did they know, an old evil was starting to plan its return.

Beaten and defeated, Hawkmoth had lost his moth brooch.

But, after careful searching, Hawkmoth discovered it once again.

It was time for a new generation of superheroes to come forth.

A/N. There will be a sequel, focusing on the children. :3 I hope you guys liked this story. It was really fun to write! Let me know how you felt about this story, overall.
