(A/N) Well lovely readers, here we are… the final chapter of Cats and Curses. I'll save all the thank yous for the end but there are some things I want to say before we get into it.
This story started on April 3rd of this year, it started as an idea that has now grown into a 40-chapter story that has received more love than I could have ever dreamed. It's gonna feel weird next week when I won't have to write a chapter for this… then again it is finals week next week, so I guess it sort of is good I won't have one next week.
Kinda wish I offered to do a Q&A with this chapter, don't know if you guys would have had any questions but it might've been fun.
In other news… I feel like I jinxed everything when I mentioned Season 2 last week, for those who don't know what I'm talking about there is a twitter page for Miraculous that has that news…
Well, let's dive right in with the Epilogue.
*boop*
Many things can happen in a short amount of time, that is something that Adrien had learned not too long ago. It had been two years since the incident, and he would never trade what he had been given due to those events.
He truly was grateful for all that had transpired in that initial month. Because of it, his life had gotten increasingly better due to new friends, new experiences, and even a new love.
Marinette had quickly become his whole world. Even now as he would wake up next to her every morning, he couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her every time he saw the ring on her finger.
They had waited almost a year of course before Adrien had gotten down on one knee. Paris had been abuzz for quite a while with the news of their engagement, only to go crazy again on the day of the actual wedding. Adrien could easily look back fondly at that day, everything had been absolutely perfect.
Over a year after that amazing day, he now watched his wife as she made her way around the kitchen, unaware of his presence just yet. She seemed a little more excited today, she usually became like this when a fun project for work came around. So, Adrien just assumed that was the case.
He stealthily made his way over and wrapped his arms around her waist, only slightly startling her in the process. She paused briefly to enjoy the comfort of their position before continuing to make their breakfast, only this time with Adrien's help.
They fell into a comfortable silence until they were seated. They tried to avoid talking about work over meals since they did usually work together. During this time they would talk about their friends or family, really just anything not involving fashion or business.
As they talked this morning, Adrien couldn't help but notice Marinette seemed not fully in the conversation, and also somewhat nervous. He knew it was better to not ask and let her tell him whatever was on her mind when she was ready.
And within a matter of minutes, she did just that in a surge of confidence.
"Adrien I, I have something to give you." She didn't say another word as she stood up and walked out of the room. She returned moments later with an unmarked box in hand, soon giving it to the confused Adrien. He looked up at Marinette to see a mixture of excitement and worry on her face. He looked back down to the box in his hands before he opened it up and took out its contents.
He could tell that it was one of Marinette's works instantly. Though this piece seemed somewhat small, causing him to wonder what it could be. The soft, light green fabric was carefully folded, giving him full view of what was written on the front in black letters.
Daddys Little Purrincess
It took him a few seconds to register the words. All at once freezing as it all clicked into place. His head snapped up to look at Marinette, eyes widening as he saw the confirming smile on her face. He turned back to the object he was holding, hands shaking slightly as he unfolded and took in the ever so tiny onesie.
In a flash he was out of his chair, enveloping Marinette in an excited hug.
This reaction seemed to give Marinette relief as she melted into the hug. Both beginning to laugh as tears of joy threatened to fall from their eyes.
With that revelation, Adrien couldn't help but look to the future with more excitement than he had just minutes before.
Because with this, his loving family would only grow from here...
*boop*
And with that, we have come to the end. And now for some final things.
First off, an enormous thank you to those of you that have contributed to this story in some way. Whether is was a review, a follow, or a favorite, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've said this a lot, but it's due to all the love and support that this story turned out as long as it did.
Probably the biggest thank you is to my most loyal reviewers. I went back through every review and I would like to shout out the three who were such amazing reviewers with one who did so from almost the very beginning.
So, a massive thank you to Daisy Rhine, Dragon Lord Draco, and Tiger Priestess for their amazing devotion and support to this series.
Now that doesn't mean a lot more of you were also extremely supportive, I would shout out each and every single one of you if I could, problem is that would take forever, and this note would be extremely long. Just know that you are all awesome individuals and I am grateful for you all.
In other announcements, I'm going to take a 1-2-week break from posting, not that it exactly matters too much, but yeah. Like I mentioned before this chapter, finals are next week so I definitely need to focus on studying, well that and Star Wars ; )
When I come back, I've got a few ideas for short stories I'll get out before the beginning of the next semester, when it might get a little harder to post due to some classes. Nevertheless, if I can't get anything new out I'll be doing a deep cleaning on this story as well as my others.
Once again, thank you all for coming with me on this journey. I hope you guys had as much fun reading as I did writing it. Keep staying Miraculous you guys…
Lots of Love to you all!
