Adrien's Point of View

"No, you can't go to your friends house for Thanksgiving, you're going to stay here with your family." I sternly told Hugo.

He crossed his arms angrily. "But Jessica wants me to come over."

I was stunned for a second, the name of my old friend had shocked me. I quickly shook it off and kept cooking, Jessica was a common name. "If she was willing to come over here, then I'd be more willing to let you hang out with her. But for now, I need your help making this casserole."

Hugo sighed and took over mixing all the ingredients with one hand while he used the other to tap away on his phone, probably asking Jessica. "Hey, can her parents come too?"

"Sure. The more the merrier."

"Hey, mom has me working on setting the table, I need to know how many people are coming over." Emma said as she popped her head in the room.

I took my hands off of the bowl that I was stirring to count on my fingers. "There's us, your grandma and grandpa, one of mom's work friends, Mylene, and her husband Ivan, oh and Hugo's friend Jessica and her parents."

"Twelve people!" She exclaimed, shaking her head. "Hey, what's Jessica's parents names?"

I looked over at Hugo, urging him to answer. "I don't know, I don't want to ask either. Can't you just find out when they get here?"

"When are they getting here?"

"Same as everybody else." He answered. "In an hour."

She shrugged. "I guess that would be fine." She ran off and we spent the next hour cooking.

At exactly three o'clock on the dot, the doorbell rang and I heard my wife yell from the top of the stairs that she would get it. I stopped cooking and washed my hands to go greet our guests while Hugo and Louis kept cooking.

"Hi, Mylene. Ivan." I greeted both of them warmly as I shook hands with my old friends. "It's good to see you."

Another ring from the door sounded at that moment and Marinette rushed to answer it. "Mom! Dad!" She threw her arms around her parents as if she hadn't seen them in years when in reality she hasn't seen them for a month.

"Now where are our grandchildren?" Her father asked. I directed him to the kitchen and the couple rushed off to go see them. The rest of us followed shortly.

I cleared my throat. "So how has business been going?" I asked Mylene and Marinette, as I only modeled rarely and I haven't checked up on what they were doing for a while.

"Oh my goodness, it's been so busy!" Mylene quickly answered and Mari nodded in agreement. "We've been so busy working on next year's spring line that we barely have any breathing room!" From what I did know, they were always ahead of schedule on their work.

Mari decided to jump in at this moment. "Don't forget about that new contest we have to manage," she glanced over at me. "We're having people submit designs for new outfits. I can't make everything." She giggled.

"Watch out!" Ivan was quick to step out of the way as Louis came by carrying a full casserole dish.

We all laughed at him slightly struggling to keep the dish upright.

"Your kids are growing up so fast." Ivan commented. He looked down at his wife and they shared what looked like a very meaningful look. "We're actually expecting ourselves." Mylene put her hand on her stomach.

"Congratulations!" Marinette said at the same time I said "That's great!"

"Okay, how far along are you and have you been thinking of names?" Marinette was quick to ask.

"Nearing the end of the second trimester." Mylene replied. "And we haven't thought about names yet." She pulled her eyes off of us and turned then back to Ivan.

The doorbell rang again. "That's Jessica!" Hugo shouted and raced to the door. I could hear him issuing quick greetings to the family at the door before he invited them in.

And I saw a very familiar face.

Sorry for not updating in a while!! I might not update again for another long while, sorry. I actually kind of completely forgot where I was originally going with this book so I had to take it in a new direction.

As for my question, I think I'll make it relate to the story for this one:

Who do you think Adrien saw?

Love ya guys! 🦄
