Chat Noir and Ladybug checked near the Louvre for any signs of Flashback, but once again they found nothing.

Ladybug turned her head to take a quick glance at her partner who had been looking around as well. He appeared to be looking around for the akuma, but his eyes seemed to be in a glazed state as if his mind was elsewhere.

It was so strange how her environment and change of pace just flipped on her so suddenly. Being able to spend so much time with Adrien, the boy she could never say more than a few words too while at the same time conversating with Chat Noir who she tries so hard to keep her identity from along with everyone else.

It felt like everything had changed overnight and she was living in a dream and she wasn't quite sure if she wanted to wake up.

"Chat?" She called to the kitty.

"Yes Princess?" He said turning his attention towards the girl.

"Would it be fine if I asked another question?"

"Of course."

"This might seem a little touchy to ask, but have you and I gotten into any serious fights?"

"Like during an akuma?"

"No you silly cat I mean like an actual argument between couples?"

Chat's ears went flat as he recalled one particular situation where that had happened. "Yeah there was one that was pretty bad....you and I, we have our disagreements from time to time just like any other couple does, but this one was...."

~~~~~

Marinette was nearly 3 months pregnant with Hugo when it had happened. Due to her condition, as time went by Marinette became limited to how much she could go out as Ladybug.

Adrien insisted that Marinette stop transforming and just stay home, but Marinette would always shoot back that she wouldn't have to stop until she was 5 months along and she didn't want him going against akumas alone.

Alya was only to use her fox Miraculous to become Rena Rouge only in emergencies when Chat and Ladybug really needed her. During Marinette's months of pregnancy though, the need for her assistance was requested more and more frequently.

During one particular akuma battle Ladybug had gotten too close and was in the line of fire. Chat instinctively jumped in front of her taking the damage instead and he had been injured that day.

That's when it all started.

Marinette tended to his wounds at home later that night in the living room. Alya and Nino were in the kitchen discussing something that was currently unknowned to the couple.

While the three were out fighting the akuma, Nino babysat Louis who was currently asleep up in his bedroom, when everyone had came back Nino took the sleeping boy upstairs and turned down the TV some that continued it's marathon of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Marinette hadn't spoken to Adrien on their way back to the house. The silence between them was slowly becoming more and more suffocating, finally Adrien attempted to break it.

"Marinette....is there something wrong?" He said.

"You know exactly what's wrong Adrien..." She said back.

"Well I don't think I would have asked if I did." He said a little irritated.

She shot a glare at him. "I don't understand why you always have to be so reckless."

"Reckless? What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you jumping in front of the akumas attack."

"That's because you were about to be hit!"

"I would have gotten away in time!"

"Oh Really? Well it didn't look like you were trying to get anywhere to me! Besides this isn't the first time this has happened I don't understand why you're-"

"I didn't like any of those times either ya know?!" Marinette stood up from the couch glaring down at the blonde. "You always do this! You never THINK before you ACT do you think I LIKE seeing you get hurt! That I LIKE seeing you INJURED!"

Adrien stood up glaring back. "I was just trying to make sure YOU and our UNBORN child was safe!"

"I can take care of myself Adrien and you KNOW that! I don't NEED you to keep protecting me!"

"I will NEVER stop protecting you!" Adrien shouted back. "I will NEVER stop making sure that you as well as our children are safe!"

"How are you going to keep protecting us if you're DEAD Chat?!"

"Nothing happened to me! I'm right here I'm completely fine!"When Adrien reached out for her he was pushed away.

"That's not the point!" Marinette had tears streaming down her eyes, she pushed passed him and went up the stairs heading to her bedroom.

Adrien let out a frustrated growl and went out through the front door, unknowned to him, Nino and Alya had been watching the two from the kitchen once they heard the two raise their voices at each other.

"Nino stay here with Mar and Louis. I'll be right back."

~~~~~~

Chat Noir ran across the rooftops of Paris trying to find some sort of distraction, anything to keep his mind away from what just happened, but nothing worked.

His ears remained flat against his head as the argument between him and his lady repeated itself in his mind.

Stopping at one particular rooftop Chat felt his heart crumble remembering Marinette's crying face before she had retreated up those stairs.

Chat had the urge to run back and apologize with all his being, he couldn't stand Marinette being mad at him, but he meant what he said. He wasn't going to stop making sure she was safe and with her being pregnant again she was once again more vulnerable during an akuma attack, even as Ladybug.

Chat ran his gloved hand through his hair wondering how in the world he was going to fix this.

"Hey there Kitty."

He nearly jumped at the sound of Alya's voice wondered how in the world she found him, he instantly remembered when he turned around to look at her.

Standing there was Rena Rouge looking at the black cat with a smirk, she walked over and stood next to the blonde. "I figured you had transformed."

"How in the world did you find me?"

The orange suited girl placed a finger to her lips. "It's a secret."

"Sneaky fox."

Rena laughed at his retort and followed his gaze towards the city. "She's right you know?"

"Figures you would side with her..."

"That doesn't make you wrong though." Chat raised an eyebrow at her statement, but stayed quiet so she'd continue. "Yes she does have a point, you're a father and a husband now, you need to be more careful about these situations. One wrong move, not only is Marinette a widow, but both of your children will be without a father."

"So how am I right as well?" Chat asked.

"Marinette might be too stubborn to admit it, but she is just as reckless as she accuses you of being. She's going to be the mother of two children soon she needs to be just as careful." Rena sighed before turning to Chat. "I don't think she's mad at you, I think shes more scared than anything. When you guys were arguing earlier it felt like you both were speaking out of fear rather than anger, you're scared of what might happen to the other if something were to go wrong."

Chat nodded. "Yeah that's..... pretty spot on actually. I'm impressed."

"I happen to have a way with words."

Chat chuckled before looking up at the sky, thinking about Marinette. "I love her so much....she means everything to me I just.....I don't want to lose her."

"Don't you think she's feeling the exact same way right about now?"

Without a second thought Chat ran back towards the house.
