Adrien sat on his bed holding onto the Miracle box, slowly tracing his finger over the smooth oval shape.

"You ok, kid?" Plagg was worried about his chosen and he couldn't help but feel he was to blame. The bad luck of the black cat. He settled down on the egg shaped miracle box and looked at Adrien's face.

"Do you think I can do it, Plagg?" Plagg knew exactly what Adrien was talking about, this was the constant reassurance he needed. He needed to know everyone was going to be there to support him. To help his lady love him again. "Am I good enough?"

"I spoke with Tikki and we're going to do whatever we can to make sure she doesn't forgot what she had with you. Neither of us are bound by any of the rules since you two started an intimate relationship. Everyone is here to support you." Adrien nodded.

He picked up a picture of him and Marinette. It was taken at their first proper gala together as a couple. She looked gorgeous and he was so happy. In the picture she's pulling a funny face as he kissed her cheek. She really was a ray of sunshine in his dark and miserable life.

"You know -" Plagg continued, "she's going to see magazines of the two of you, pictures and messages on her phone and her friends stories. She may not remember, herself, how much she loved you, but she's smart enough to know there was something there."

"You're right ... I know you're right. I'm just so scared Plagg. So, so scared." Plagg flew over to Adrien offering him some comfort.

"She's going to be fine, kid. This is going to work. You're going to save her life to the greatest extent, and all because you love her and she loves you. Can you remember when you were both young teens and Dark Cupid was shooting everyone up on Valentines Day?"

Adrien released a small laugh, "Yeah. We've never stopped teasing Kim about it."

"Remember how she managed to take you out from under the akuma's spell?" Plagg asked.

"True loves kiss."

"And how did you bring your mother back?"

"True loves kiss."

"You see ... true love! True love and the power of love will always win." When he needed to be Plagg was always a source of comfort to Adrien.

"Yin and yang, two parts of one soul."

"Exactly, kid. Now get that box, transform and get us to the hospital to save your future wife."

Adrien smiled his lopsided grin at his black kwami, sometimes Plagg could be a sweet companion.

"Plagg, claws out." Climbing out the window he made his way through the dark curtains of night towards his lady.

Once Nathalie understood the circumstances of what happened at Notre-Dame, she knew exactly what Adrien's next move would be. To use the Miraculous and help Marinette, or should she say Ladybug.

She should have known who they were  really. The two of them were too pure to be normal. Always looking for the best in people and wanting what's right for others, they basically were heroes with or without their masks. Plus they'd never shown enough negative emotion to get akumatized.

As if on cue Nathalie looked up to see a dark figure land on the top of the hospital. She was sure he'd have the Miracle box, giving her access to the butterfly miraculous. Once she had hold of it she would cause disaster and chaos throughout Paris again. She wouldn't be weak like Gabriel was. She'd give Ladybug and Chat Noir exactly what they deserved.

Walking into the hospital she placed her hood over her head and went directly to where she knew Marientte was. Her determination meaning she was not going to be leaving empty handed.

—————————————————

Making his way out the fire exit door, he tucked the Miracle box into his coat. The halls were now silent apart from the synchronised bleeping of the heart machines. Families were asleep on chairs inside and outside of hospital rooms, showing clear exhaustion from the time they'd spent with their loved ones who were seated on the edge of life. Guilt ran through his spine, he was about to bring back the most important person in this world. Not many others can say they have that choice, this was the reality he needed.

He mentally kicked himself for being so selfish. He had the opportunity to bring someone back. Yes he'd have to make her love him again but would that matter as long as her love, laugh and smile could grace the Earth once more. Her incredible loyalty, her determination and fierceness, her creation and imagination, her kindness and beauty. Life would be great again, his life would definitely be great again because he had the chance for Marinette to be a part of it.

Suddenly a serge of confidence raced through hm. He was going to do something not everyone got the chance to do. He wasn't going to say goodbye today and he'd make sure he protected her for the rest of his life.

Finally he made it to Marinette's room and knocked on the door.

"It's Adrien." His voice was strong and determined.

The door opened and Sabine pulled him in, shutting the door behind him and pulling him into a tight hug.

"You ready?" She asked him delicately as they walked arm in arm to Marinette's bed. Tom was in deep conversation with Shén jī next to Marinette's still form.

"Has anything changed?" He asked back.

"Nothing, she's still exactly as you left her." Tom explained as Adrien handed over the Miracle box to Shén jī. She began to place the different miraculous on her body freeing the kwami's out of their homes. Each one looked at Marinette and expressed such sorrow of the situation she was in.

"We're missing Wayzz." Shén jī said, as she greeted each of the kwami's. Adrien remembered he had it in his pocket; taking it out and handing it over to the Master she placed the bracelet on freeing the turtle kwami.

"I'm so sorry Chat Noir." Wayzz came straight to Adrien and bowed his head.

"This is going to work, Wayzz. Don't feel guilty, we all did what we could. Nows the time we need to pull together." Adrien stroked the little kwami on the head in sincere love.

"Now, when Marinette wakes up she might be confused as to why you're here Chat, so I suggest you be prepared. I'm not sure where in your relationship the love will be taken from, Tikki was our best guess." Shén jī explained. Adrien nodded and found a supportive hand meet his shoulder.

"We're all here, Adrien. We've got your back." For a big man, Tom was the gentle supportive hand Adrien needed.

With one last kiss to Marinette's lips he gave his ok for the ritual to begin. The kwami's joined hands and circled around Marinette's stomach. They began to sing and chant musically, each closing their eyes and concentrating on the words they needed to speak. Shén jī placed her hands on Marinette's stomach and joined in the musical words of the kwami's.

A magical pink glow began to swirl in the middle of the kwami circle making its way into the sky. Within the swirl Adrien could make out little ladybugs and tiny black cats. When the creatures reached the ceiling they began to float down into the middle of the swirl. They built piece on piece forming a new body. This continued for a few minutes before the pink swirling stopped, revealing the tiny black and red kwami in the middle of Marinette's stomach.

The kwami looked to be fast asleep laying against its mothers tummy. The new kwami had a red head with tiny cat ears, a black body with ladybug wings and black spots finishing with a black tail. Slowly it opened its eyes and looked around, as their eyes hit Adrien's he jumped back in surprise. This new little miracle had one sapphire blue eye and one electric green eye. The kwami sat up and looked him over. Plagg and Tikki made their way into the middle to help the new entity fly towards Adrien, placing it gently in his palms.

"Don't worry daddy, we're going to save mummy together." The soft, sweet voice spoke to Adrien and then hugged onto his thumb. Adrien lifted his hand and placed a kiss on the new kwami's head.

"We'll need to give you a name." Adrien said through his tears.

"Mummy always mentioned Hugo. Can I please be called Hugo?"

"Of course. I'm so glad you're here." He gave the kwami one last stroke on his head before being interrupted by Shén jī.

"Chat, we need to continue to save Ladybug. Are you ready?" Adrien nodded and placed his new baby into the doctors hands. She had placed the Kwagatama over Marinette's heart. All Hugo needed to do was transfer into it to active it's healing power. Then they had nothing else to do, but wait.

Placing Hugo down gently, he stroked the Kwagatama before placing both stubby hands on it. Again a flash of pink light surrounded the room and the Kwagatama. The steady beat on the heart machine began to grow more powerful and Marientte was glowing; literally glowing pink.

"Come on sweetheart, you can do it." Sabine was gripping onto Adrien and Tom's hands, willing her daughter to push through all this. She knew Marinette was strong, she knew her daughter could come back to them all.

The pink glow ceased and Hugo came flopping out the Kwagatama. Adrien picked him up and stroked his head.

"Good work little man." Speaking calmly to the exhausted kwami. Shén jī was putting the Miraculous' away in the egg when Adrien stopped her.

"Wayzz needs to go back to his owner." She handed him the bracelet and picked up the fox and butterfly miraculous'.

"I need to just do a couple more things to make sure the doctors aren't too suspicious from this miraculous recovery." She walked out the room, closing the door behind her. Adrien placed Hugo in his pocket and asked Plagg to keep him safe.

"Wouldn't Hugo be better with me?" Tikki asked.

"It'll be better for Marinette if we don't place this new kwami in front of her as soon as she wakes up. Plus poor Hugo needs sleep, he's just worked his little booty off to save our Princess."

Tikki sighed and decided to not argue anymore, after all Adrien was right.

"So what do we do now?" Tom asked to no one in particular.

"We wait for Mari to wake. Our own Sleeping Beauty." Sabine stroked the hair on her daughters Snow White face.

Sleeping beauty? Adrien thought, that was it.

"Not in death, but just in sleep the fateful prophecy you'll keep, and from this slumber you shall wake when true love's kiss the spell shall break." Adrien remembered back to when they'd awoken his mother with none other than true loves kiss. The power of love was always so strong!

He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Marinette unsure about how things would work out, but he knew that he needed to try. He lent forward his lips parting whilst his heart was beating out of his chest. His breath hitched in his throat as he closed the last few inches doing the only other thing he could think of to bring his lady back ... true loves kiss.
