I know the past 24 hours has been hard for everyone. I…honestly don't know what to say. This scares me too, and it scares me too that my dad and brothers are happy about this, but I want anyone to know, that love and hope is the key to get through these hard times, not anger. Please do not turn to the darkness, to not let this diminish all hope that we as the people cannot fight for what we love and for who we love. I don't want to go into too many details about it, because this is a place for us all to escape. But please. Don't lose hope and don't lose faith. I beg you. If we lose those than faith in humanity is really lost. I hope you enjoy this! I tried to make it cute and fluffy but you guys also know from previous chapters I have lost all self-esteem from writing. Also please check the ending not to for some special announcements.

It was another morning that the two lovers slowly woke up to one another's embrace. Marinette sighed deeply and pressed a light kiss to her husband's cheek. She giggled at the twitching of his face when feeling her lips and his eyes fluttered open. His green eyes looked to her lovingly as he pulled her closer for a light kiss.

"Why did you have to wake me up?" He grinned to her giggling.

"You'll have to be going soon. You have appointments to attend to." He scowled before brushing his fingers through her hair.

"I'm starting to think you would make a better King. You're better at this stuff than I am." She playfully smacked his head although he caught hold of her wrist to place a kiss to her palm. "But I do love referring to you as my queen."

"That's right, if you weren't king than I wouldn't have to serve you." She giggled, playfully rolling on top of him. "Should I serve you? My King..." She purred. He gulped and his face turned beet red.

"I…I think we should probably be getting dressed." He choked, but sat up, holding her steady as she straddled him. "But I appreciate the offer Princess."

He placed a small kiss on her lips before getting up, with her giggles chasing after him. Marinette smiled fondly and laid back on the bed with a heavy sigh. It was hard to think that she and her kitty were king and queen of France. It felt truly amazing to be this happy. After putting on a robe, she strolled to her washroom to splash some cool water on her face. Even though fall was beginning to officially set in, she was feeling feverish. Glancing up to her mirror her face looked only paler than usually and wasn't flushed with possible fever. A knock sounded on the door and brought her away from her thoughts.

"Come in!" A young woman with long auburn hair walked in with a small curtesy

"Good morning you're Majesty."

"Lila please, you're one of my friends here, there's no need for you to be so formal." Marinette smiled. Over the time of becoming Adrien's fiancée, spending the time in court she quickly became friends with a Lady Lila who became her Lady in waiting. Lila was a nice girl from the South of France and came to Paris to be a part of the court. The king suggested her to become Marinette's lady in waiting and the two grew into good friends.

"You know its title now, I have to call you that in public, and it's kind of hard not to call you that."

Marinette giggled and walked to her wardrobe to pull out a dark red gown fit for the colors of autumn. Lila set to work in pulling out some slippers and helped Marinette dress before setting to work on combing through her hair. She pinned the blackette's hair up into a fashionable twist and used a butterfly pin to hold it in place.

"You know, for a royal you don't like to flaunt your new status."

"Do you think I should I don't think I would like it, it wouldn't feel right to me."

Lila chuckled and offered the young queen a beige shawl.

"You're right, it wouldn't. Now shall we go to breakfast?"

Usually her schedule was always the same for Marinette. After dressing she and Lila would have a small breakfast together and share some small talk and then afterwards she would take part in her own appointments, mostly meeting and greeting people. There wasn't much left to do for her. Then she usually was allowed to dine with Adrien and they would spend the rest of their night together.

It was after one appointment she and Lila were giggling together down the hall, discussing their thoughts concerning a rather friendly artist.

"Nathaniel is a good man Lila, and I have to say, he seemed rather smitten with you while we were supposed to be deciding an appropriate theme."

Her Lady in waiting blushed darkly and glared to her friend.

"You surely tease, I don't believe he showed much interest."

"That's not true, he could barely take his eyes off you."

"Mari…"She begged.

"Perhaps you have even taken a shying to him."

"You're Majesty!" The girl covered her face trying to hide her flush much to her queen's giggling.

"Don't worry Lila, I'll make sure to have Nathaniel invited." Marinette stopped walking and hunched over due to a sudden nauseous spell. Lila worriedly stopped and knelt beside her queen.

"M'lady?!" Marinette tried to smile in reassurance as she wobbled on her feet.

"I'm fine Lila, no need to fuss."

"I noticed you barely touched your food this morning, but didn't think to mention your odd eating habits."

"Eating habits?" The queen asked, feeling lightheaded.

"Yes, well, you have been pretty selective on what you eat and in what quantities you're eating in."

"Oh. Well, I'm sure I'm just feeling the transition of the weather."

"If you insist, how about we get some fresh air then I'm sure it could be…" And Marinette felt herself black out and her body fall down to the floor.

Marinette slowly began stirring awake her head and body ached in protest and her eyes burned once they were exposed to soft candle light.

"Marinette?" She felt her hand being squeezed and looked over to see Adrien sitting beside their bed, his clothing a little ruffled and a few documents sprawled on his lap.

"Adrien? What happened?" She croaked, trying to sit up when her vision began to blur once again, causing her to lay back.

"You collapsed." He replied, running a hand through her hair to cup her face. "Marinette are you ill?"

"Well, I haven't been feeling as much of myself."

"Marinette! Please don't lie if you aren't feeling well! You scared everyone today when Lila was crying for help. After my mother…" He paused and she instantly knew he was afraid. "We…we just don't want to lose another kind queen. I don't want to lose you too."

"Hey I'm not going anywhere Kitty." She tried pulling him close to her which he complied. "I'm perfectly healthy, I'm not leaving you alone."

He smiled and leaned closer to press his forehead to hers.

"I know." He whispered, pressing a small kiss to her nose.

A knock on the door pulled the two apart as Adrien stood away and looked at the door.

"You may enter." The door opened for a kindly old man to enter with a small bow.

"I'm sorry for taking so long you're Majesties."

"It's quite alright." Adrien waved off and turned to his wife's unhappy expression.

"You called the royal physician?"

"You collapsed and wouldn't wake up. You're going to be treated."

Marinette sighed but knew that Adrien wasn't going to yield to her on this matter.

"Thank you for the trouble sir." She nodded as the man approached her bedside.

"My queen, it is no trouble making sure you are in good health. Now, what is all the fuss about? How have you been feeling as of late?"

Marinette casted a nervous glance to Adrien before looking back.

"A little nauseated and dizzy at times."

The doctor turned to Adrien. "Do you mind giving us a moment sire so I may examine her?"

Adrien gave a nervous look to his wife, as if unsure to leave her, but stood up from the bed.

"I'll be right outside then." He replied and left soundlessly, leaving the two. Marinette smiled to the elder man as he approached her bedside with his bag in hand.

"Sir, it really is nothing more than a small virus." She tried to protest. The older man chuckled and stroked his thin goatee in thought.

"It may be that way my queen, but it is better to check. Even a simple virus can turn into something serious. Now, do you think you can tell me all the symptoms you've been having?" He opened up his bag and pulled out a thermometer that he gave a few light shakes.

"Mostly just fatigue, and some nausea spells. And then I've been told that my eating habits have been a little off."

He hummed before holding the tool to the young woman who placed it under her tongue. After a few minutes he withdrew it just to see a normal temperature.

"Any sort of dizziness or cramps?"

"Yes to both."

"In what region are you usually having these cramps?"

"My lower abdomen."

He hummed again and then eyed her carefully, before a knowing smile spread across his face.

"Do you mind standing up for me Madame?" Marinette nodded and pulled the sheets aside and wobbled up to her feet.

"I'm just going to feel around your lower abdomen." He warned her, and with one hand to the back of her hip, the other placed right above her stomach to apply a small amount of pressure. She hissed a bit from the sudden swollenness that she felt and the physician quickly removed his hand.

"Your Majesty, do you recall the last time you bled?" Marinette blinked rapidly and tried to remember the last time her menstrual cycle came. When a few moments passed, the man chuckled lightly.

"It seems we have found out this mystery. It is a wondrous occasion to learn the queen is with child. I do wish you my deepest congratulations." He nodded happily and handed her a robe due to the sudden draft. "I would suspect you're nearing three months."

Marinette was silent as her mind tried to calculate it all. A child. A baby. Her and Adrien's baby. She was carrying their baby. The future heir to the throne. A sudden giddiness filled her as she placed one of her own hands over her stomach and indeed felt the smallest curve that was not entirely noticeable. She was pregnant.

"I'll let the King in now Your Grace, and I'll make sure to visit within another fortnight to check on your progress. Oh, and don't hesitate to call upon me if you are feeling unwell again."

The sudden statement turned on her for how she was going to tell her husband the news. Scenarios flooded her mind of his possible reactions. While Adrien was overly affectionate with her, she didn't know if he wanted children yet. Her anxious thoughts didn't have much time to manifest before her husband strode in a moment after the physician left.

"Marinette? How is it? Did he find out what's wrong? Is it a fever? Oh darling, you shouldn't be out of bed yet, come on and lay back down." He fussed. Marinette blinked as if brought out of a daze.

"Adrien, love, its fine. I'm perfectly fine." She reassured, cupping his face in her hands. He blinked in confusion before cupping her face in his own hands, his thumb brushing over her cheek.

"Mari, just tell me what the doctor said please, you're torturing me."

"It shouldn't torture you Adrien." She giggled. "At least I hope it doesn't." His eyebrows arched in confusion before she stepped away a moment.

"It's good news Adrien. All these symptoms…it means that our lives are about to change."

"In what way?" She bit her lip with an eager smile.

"We're going to have a baby!" There was a pause as Adrien stared at her. His green eyes wide as they moved from her blue gaze down to her stomach and back up, several times.

"A baby?" He repeated, a little shakily. She nodded eagerly. "You're pregnant?"

She nodded again with a light giggle as tears filled the corners of her eyes.

"Yeah." She hiccupped and then she felt her feet leave the ground as her husband easily picked her up.

"You're pregnant! You're pregnant!" He kept repeating, spinning her around and laughing like a madman.

"Kitty, you're making me dizzy again." She giggled and was immediately brought into a crushing hug against his chest.

"I love you so much!" He cooed, peppering her face with kisses. "You are truly amazing!"

"I'm just so happy Adrien." She beamed.

"Me too Princess, I don't think it could get any better." He placed a chaste kiss on her lips before kneeling down to her stomach. Giving her a sly wink, he had no reservations about pulling her night gown up to place his ear against her stomach. "Oh little kitten, you are going to be so loved, just you wait!"

I honestly wanted to add more, but I got twisted, I will one day get around to writing a pregnancy fic where there's some cute fluff. But I enjoyed just writing for fun again. Okay, now for some announcements.

Social media is toxic, so to help with my anxiety I started just reading some books. Reading has always been an escape for me, and I am now taking the chance to enjoy new things instead of harping on fanfiction and facebook for something to entertain me. Now, why does this apply to you? Well one of the series I want to reread is Harry Potter. Considering this is one of the biggest things of our time, I was wondering if anyone else wanted to read it with me and we can do a book club chat. In all honesty guys, I want to just have people I can geek out about. I am a really lonely person and honestly I don't know many people who share these interests with me. So please, even if you don't want to read, can I at least talk and make friends with some of you?

Okay this is shorter, 3 months will be updated soon as well with Brothers Conflict

If you aren't already following me, I will be posting a new story on the kind of rim related to Hades/Persephone. It basically goes like this :When Marinette was just a baby, an old man predicted that she would be spirited away by a black cat. Marinette was just a sweet young princess that never understood why her parents banned black cats from their kingdom. And one day in her garden she saves and nurses back to health. As thanks the black cat gives her a ring tied to the collar that she puts on. That night, a strange man arrives and tells her parents that Marinette accepted his ring and thus accepted to be his wife.

That's it! Thank you so much for reading!
