Mare, we're home. Mari heard Nino she could still hear him in her mind even in Paris, that didn't matter now,  she let go of his and hand and moved it to her belly and was relieved when she felt her baby belly. 

Our Baby is okay! She jumped into his arms do fast and kissed him as he twirled her. "We are home! She squealed. "Also I'm glad to see Ladybug doesn't have to wear a onesie anymore but I think I want to Marinette." (See Storyline A for their supper hero looks.)

"I think I'd rather be Nino as well." They both detrasfomed, Nino in a brown vest, deep blue dress shirt and pants that matched the vest much like he would have worn in Dou Luna, Mari in a long flowy pink skirt and white blouse. They were met by their Kawmis. 

"Your home!" They both called. After Kawmi hugs, they heard a throat clear and they turned around.  And saw who could only be Adrien and Alya, Adrien stood in an olive dress shirt and black pants with a coral tie, Alya her hand in his stood in a flowing calf-length coral dress that showed off her own baby belly.

"Marinette? Nino?" Adrien's voice was gentle. 

"Is, is it really you?" Alya looked at them with eyebrows raised. 

"Why don't you take my hand and tell me." Mari reached out to her best friend waiting. 

Alya looked at Adrien let go of his hand and slowly walked over to Mari, reached out and took her hand. She gasped, "It really is you." Her eyes flooded with tears and she pulled Mari into as best a hug and she could manage. "I thought I'd never see you again."

"Me too Ayla, me too," Mari whispered as the two girls hugged and cried.

"Dude?" Nino opened up his arms toward Adrien and took a step. 

"Bro?" Adrien took a step.

"Dude!" Nino smiled and pulled Adrien towards him. 

"Bro!" Adrien lifted Nino off the ground. "You're really back!"

 "Looks like you married my girl and got her pregnant." Nino teased. 

"Cause you're not guilty of that." Adrien dished it right back.

They couldn't keep the bit up thought because the girl mulled them in hugs. 

"Hey, Kitty." Mari smiled. 

"Hey, My Lady." He kissed her hand. She giggled "Mari you look incredible, how far along are you?" 

"Eight months. You've grown into quite the man Adrien. Not mad?" 

"Never, it what we prayed had happed to you both, after all, your best friend is now my wife." They looked over at their spouses. "Twins, seven months," Adrien told her in a hushed voice. Mari gasped.

"That's wonderful! We always wanted to have babies at the same time." She giggled. 

"I remember. We have so much to tell you." Adrien started to tell her everything. 

Mari put a figure to his lip, "Shh, later, by the looks of it, the two of you were going somewhere, And Nino and I will need somewhere to stay. We are accustom to sleeping with one another anymore. " She giggled. 

---

Alya let of Nino, "Hey Turtle Boy." 

"Hey, Foxy lady! Look at you! Twins right?" 

"How'd ya know?" She gave a small twirl. 

"Your mom always said Twins were high in your family." 

"Seven months so could pop any day now technically. You look great Nino. You and Mari look like a happy couple." She placed a hand on his arm.

"So do you and Adrien. Not too weird right?" He looked at her. 

"We waited until our sophomore year to date, finally choosing to believe that you two like us had found love after us too." She smiled.

"Good I'm glad. Tell me everything we missed." Nino wanted to know everything. 

"Tonight after the baby shower. You And Mare can stay in our guest room until we get everything sorted." She led him over to Mari and Adrien. "How do we wanna do this? You have to tell your parents that you're home."

"We could just go to the baby shower I guess, but that will change the theme of you're party." Nino teased. 

"I don't mind. I didn't want the party anyway." Alya shrugged. 

"Can they just walk in though? Or should we surprise everyone?" Adrien got excited at the idea of the thought of Tom, Sabine, James, and Caral's faces when they see their son and daughter for the first time in eight years. Oh and Chris and Manon too. Oh and what of their classmates who stuck around. Everyone would be so happy. 

Mari looked to Nino, You thinking what I'm thinking? 

You know it, love. 

"Hey, you guys have a big box?" Mari smiled. 

Adrien knew where she was going, "Ya, we just got a new fridge, will be a tight fit, but Nino if you stand bind Mari you should both fit." 

"We could pretend it's a gender reveal!" Alya smiled. Okay, let's hurry we don't have much time." 

"Wait how do we get from your place to the hotel with us in a box, I can't have Mari and the baby getting hurt, but some clueless taxi driver." Nino pulled Mari close to him. 

"I bet Master Fu can help with that. Adrien, Love, call him? Tell him to meet us at the apartment." The four all Transformed like old times. 

"Trix Let's Ponce!"

"Wayz Shell On!

Tiki Spots On!"

"Plag Claws Out!"

"Alright, Last one there's a rotten egg!" Chat Noir yelled as he darted away.

Rena Rouge quickly jumped after him. "Hey, no fair!" Only now slower in her youth, with Chat Noir, quickly stealing her up in his arms. His custom no longer a leather catsuit, but looking more his fencing wear only in black with a green paw print over his heart, his bell stayed, his cat ears and mask were the same. He almost seems to move easily in it, then he did in the tight leather. Rena Rouge's costume was longer, flowlier her two tails were now one and looked more like a high low skirt still having two white stripes across the back, her top now solid orange with white sleeves.  Her legging were white with knee-high black boots.

"Well Spots, look like they forgot I'm not as fast as Chat." Carapace walked over to Ladybug.

"Every time Shell." She giggled remembering will.  "I'm sorry the Miraculous I gave you, doesn't give you cool transportation."

"Eh, it means I get to fly around the city with my childhood best friend and my now my wife." He smiled and scooped her up, Hold tight, you swing, I'll jump and together we should be able to chase after them. We'll make it. 

Together. She smiled.

The other two did quickly remember that their friends didn't know where they were going and waited for them. Master Fu was shocked to see them and hugged his two students he blamed himself for losing. "I never forgave myself for what happened to you." 

Mari got close to the old man, got down on her knees to be at his height pulled his hand to her belly, he gasped as the baby kicked as if knowing this was an old friend, "Master, we don't blame you for anything. It wasn't the Miraculous's fault. It happens every five hundred years, we just got picked."

After a few tears were shed, the couple got in the box and Master Fu called on Kaalki and opened a portal just outside the room where the baby shower was to be. Master Fu slipped into the room as he was an invited guest.  Alya and Adrien gently pushed the box into the room. trying to make it look effortless. Settling to put it just inside the door. 

"Oh Alya! You deiced to do a gender reveal after all!" Her mom called. 

"It's a reveal alright. Everyone gather round, I want to to this first!"

"But sweetheart that's not what your mother had." Her father started to say. 

"Nah uh, I'm the pregnant lady what I say goes!" She placed her hands on her hips. Everyone quickly listened. Adrien brought the three sets of parents to the front. 

"We have great news and we want you to see." Chris pulled out his phone to record. "Nah Bud you come up here, Manon you too, have one of your friend's record." The two teens joined the parents at the front. "We present to you"

"Our reveal!" Alya finished for him as they opened the door. Out walked Nino and Marinette. The room collectivity gasped. 

"We got zapped back?" Mari waved and smiled. 

"We don't know how we got there or how we got back." Nino took her hand. His bother was the first to move. 

"Nino!" He gave his brother the biggest of hugs. 

"Yo little brother!" Nino couldn't believe how big he was. 

"My baby!" Sabine hugged her daughter. 

"My girls!" Tom picked up Sabine and Marinette in a hug. 

"Papa! Careful, my baby!" Mari giggled. 

"My Boys!" James pulled his sons into a hug. Carol followed after. 

"Nino, is Marittes baby yours?" his mother asked

"I'd hope so she is my wife after all!' Nino pulled Mari in and kissed her in front of everyone. 

"Wonderful!" "Amazing!" "I knew it!" People shouted and celebrated. 

Mari and Nino told a short version of what happened. And they heard stories. They learned about Hawkmoths defeat, Adrien pulled them aside and told them of his father, and the three hugged quickly. Mari felt her heartbreak for her old love. She was grateful Ayla had been there for him. 

Mari and Nino made plans with their parents to have breakfast at Sabine and Tom's in the morning so they could hear about everything from Adrien and Alya tonight. The Mayor offered to meet with them and help get them set up, explaining that The heroes had been given a gift of money as a thank you, and they had kept Ladybug and Carapace's set aside as an investment and scholarship fund. But was sure something could be done.  Master Fu tells them to come to visit him in a few days, he has an offer for them. He says its time, and Alya and Adrien seem to know what that means. But as the party winds down,  and then four friends head home for a night of pizza and even more stories. Nino looks to Mari, Love we are gonna be okay. 

You know Babe, I think your right.
