Late at night-the dim, orange lights of the kitchen casted upon Marinette. Where she peacefully prepared herself a honey-lavender tea. She watched the water boil but her mind was elsewhere.

Damn, I miss coffee
I wish Adrien was here
Why is he taking so long?
The night seems quiet I hope there's no trouble.

Marinette poured the boiling water into a black ceramic mug, placing the tea bag and stirring it around. The water -that was now tea- took a light brown color almost honey like, she then poured a little bit of sugar.

"It's been almost 2 hours," she mumbled as she looked at the digital clock of the stove.

Adrien or as for now "Chat Noir" was patrolling the city alone since she was unable to. She was 6 months pregnant, her big belly didn't let her move much and of course not that Adrien let her anyway. Either way it worried her, she knew he could handle himself but still...

Stress is not good for you

She always tried to keep in mind.

With a heavy sigh she slid the door of her balcony, placing her mug on the a small table and sat down on the cushioned chair. The cold breeze blew in her face softly, she placed her feet between the cold, metal rails of the balcony. Just enjoying the view and fresh air.

As soon as she got married to Adrien, he bought her a luxurious apartment with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. And at night with the stars and the street lamps? It was priceless.

"What are you thinking Marinette?" Tikki's squeaky voice asked. Sitting on Marinette's shoulder and nuzzling onto her neck.

Marinette smiled and replied, "oh just those days when I was desperate to get Adrien's attention." She took a sip of her tea, "Messing up a thousand times and each I thought he'll never talk to me again."

"I remember," Tikki giggled.

"They were so embarrassing," she shook her head. "I was so afraid of being rejected. Not being able to keep up with his fame and all those girls that were lined up for him. It made fell small and stupid... "

"But?" Tikki asked, she felt it coming.

"But look at me now, pregnant with his child. Sitting on a balcony of a very expensive penthouse.." she teased, "I'm kidding. It's actually how he was the masked guy who stole my heart, at the time I was so confused to how could I feel for two people. I was troubled.."

She took another sip of the warm tea, "It's just funny."

"Indeed M'lady." A voice she knew all too well purred.

Her eyes almost popped out as Chat Noir leaped on front of her. Quickly engulfing her his arms as he sighed in relief, "princess." He mumbled softly.

He felt home every time he hugged her, warm and cozy. His arms traveled to her lower back and then slid them to her belly. Pulling away to see that bump he loved. Adrien often found himself watching her fondly do things like going up the stairs, laying down on the couch, getting to bed next to him. She managing herself with that belly was a sight to him.

He felt somehow proud and overwhelmed.

They stumbled inside still in the hug before someone saw them. He quickly de-transformed
and pulled Marinette to the couch on top of him.

"I missed you." He whispered before kissing her lips gently and slowly. Savoring every single second.

Their lips made a "pop" as they pulled apart, she ran her hands through his silky hair as he caressed her back. "How was the patrol? You took so long. I was starting to get worried." She said breathlessly, kissing his soft cheek and nuzzling into his warm neck.

"Oh M'lady don't worry. Paris at night is pretty quiet, I just checked all four corners of the city to make sure everything was fine." Adrien laughed softly. "I thought I told you to go to sleep."

"I'm tired of sleeping all day! You won't let me do anything else! Besides, I had a craving for cup of tea." She pouted, he chuckled pecking her lips.

"I just love you so much my lady. I want to protect you and this little bean at all cost." Adrien pecked her forehead and embraced her tightly. Afraid that if he let his guard down something or someone would take her away. After all the suffering from the previous years of loneliness and rejection; he feared deeply going back to them.

"I know, I know. I love you too but don't worry about me too much. The only "dangerous" thing I did today was making myself a late night tea."

"Well, I can fix that. I'll leave a gallon made. You only have to microwave it."

She giggled, "don't you dare!"

"Oh my lady you know I will."
