Chapter 21

Marinette, now changed out of that ridiculous getup, sat cross-legged across from Adrien. They were both suspended. Marinette was suspended for breaking the P.E dress code, and Adrien was suspended for breaking Kim's jaw. They were In Marinette's bedroom, while Marinette had the first Aid pack out. She was cleaning his wounds "It's a good thing my parents enrolled me in first Aid classes since I was 6. They always knew I was clumsy" she said. He laughed.

She bit her lip. "A-Adrien. I think I'm gonna have to pop your knuckles back into place. They're definitely not broke or sprained, that's for sure" Marinette said, looking worryingly at Adrien.

"Alright, let's get this over with" Adrien sighed, burying his head into her other shoulder. She smiled sweetly and kissed the back of his neck, stretching out his fingers. She winced as she heard him cry. In one swift movement, she popped his knuckles into place while he cried.

Wrapping it up quickly, she kissed his neck. "That was torture. I hate hurting you" Marinette pouted. He wiped his eyes. "Hey.. a-are you crying?" She asked, cupping his face in her hands. "No! No of course not" Adrien said, blushing. "Men don't cry" Adrien sighed, quoting his father.

Marinette's face went sour. "Do men laugh? Do they eat? Do they get mad? Of course. So why don't they cry? Of course men cry!" Marinette said, rolling her eyes. Stereotyping.

"This is why I love you" Adrien Said, kissing her cheek. She giggled. "Well, now we have a whole week of no alarms, no assignments and hopefully no Akuma's" she said, lying on her bed. "You said it not me!" Plagg yawned, hanging out with Tikki.

Marinette giggled. "Your Kwami is so relatable" She said, nudging Adrien. He lay down beside her. "Marinette, how about we go shopping for baby stuff this week?" He asked. She paused. "With the money we have" she said sarcastically. "I've done research and baby stuff isn't cheep" she muttered. Adrien sat up. "I get paid a hundred or two for each photoshoot I do. I give a lot back to Charity's, but that can't really be helped because it's Charity" Adrien said. Marinette looked puzzled. "I keep the remaining money in a box in my room. There's quite a bit in there so we can use that to get the Baby stuff!" He said excitedly. Marinette smiled. He was so cute.

"Sure. But for now, can we sleep?" She yawned. He kissed her head. "Of course!" He exclaimed, pulling the duvet up on them both.

Marinette sucked in her cheeks as they wandered from aisle to aisle, staring at the different baby items. From cribs to diapers, There was no definite shortage of stock anytime soon. "We'll have to buy everything white because we don't know the baby's gender" Marinette pointed out. Adrien nodded and pushed the cart with his good hand.

He picked up Newborn Diapers, along with Blankets and then they finally came to the crib's section. "Whoa! That's a lot of white" He said, pointing to all of the cribs. A salesperson's eyes lit up when he saw them.

"Happy day! Happy day! I see you have made it to our wonderful store!" They said, shaking both of their hands. Marinette smiled. What a character!

"So, what are you both looking for today?" They asked. Marinette bit her lip. "We don't know the Baby's gender, so we're just going to go for something white, and simple yet elegant" Adrien said, taking Charge. The salesperson nodded and pointed to three different cribs. Each more beautiful than the last.

"To the left is a handcrafted, oak crib. It's about 20-22 inches tall and it includes a 6 inch Mattress, that fits the crib perfectly so it is safe to protect against S.I.D.S" the person said. Marinette nodded. "In the Middle is a 24 Inch wooden Crib. It's not as sturdy as the oak crib but the Mattress is about 8 inch's" They continued. Adrien hummed. "And to the left, is another solid oak crib. It is around 22-23 inches and includes a 7 inch Mattress" They said, both parents nodding.

"And your total is €858" the cashier said. "Cash or card?" They asked, smirking at Marinette's face. She was shocked. "Card" Adrien replied, taking out his Debit card. After the transaction was complete, they left the store without uttering a word to each other.

"I cannot believe you spent €858 on baby stuff. We don't even have the majority of it yet!" Marinette gasped. Adrien shook his head. "It's fine Marinette. I don't mind. We're just going to have to wait a while until I save up some more money" Adrien said. Marinette kissed him. "This is why I love you!" She smiled. "You had a heart of gold" She hummed while he blushed. "Anything for you. For us. For the baby" he whispered into her ear softly. She smiled.

Click!

The shutter went off, alarming Marinette. Adrien stood up tall, off guard. The paparazzi flustered for a minute and ran away, waving his camera. Marinette looked alarmed. This didn't look good.

Marinette was shaking. She shook her head as she stared at the front cover Magazine. T had been spilled. Her secret. Their baby. It was obvious, her belly and then the pair of them coming out of a baby store and kissing. They should have been more careful.

Adrien sat on the sofa anxiously. His phone rang out from the hundredth time, making him shudder. His father was furious. "You have to pick it up" Marinette exclaimed. Adrien's lip wobbled and he accepted the call, putting it on speakerphone.

"Adrien? Adrien You get home right now! I've seen the news. What were you thinking, you fool? You were thinking with your dick and not your head. Get away from whatever Slut your sleeping with right now!" His voice boomed. Marinette folded her arms and started to cry.

"Hey!" Adrien yelled down the phone, Marinette gasped. "Fuck you. I've always had to do what you say. This is my choice. Don't call again" Adrien shouted, ending the call. He screamed and threw his phone on the floor, dropping to his knees and crying. Marinette rushed over to him, resting by his side.

"I hate him! I hate him so fucking much!" Adrien yelled, crying into her shoulder. "It'll be alright" she mumbled into his ear and ran her hand through his hair comfortingly. They both sighed when they police sirens close by. "You Okay to go save Paris?" She asked. He nodded and wiped his eyes. "Let's go!" He smiled
