"Do you remember this one?"

    Louis lay uncomfortably in Emma's tiny bed, the boy carefully bonked his head on to his little sister's head as he held a book in his lap.
  Emma nuzzled comfortably into her older brother with a small smile as he read her an old book their mother often read to them when they were babies.

  Her green eyes followed the picture Louis pointed to on the page and a wide smile spread across her lips at the memory.

"Yes." Emma nodded, reaching over to point to the illustration in the picture book as well. "It's mommy rabbit!"

Louis chuckled, bending his leg so he could rest the book on to his thigh with a grin.
  "Yes, this mommy rabbit, is just like our mommy. You know that, right?" He mused, perking a brow and glancing down at his sister as her expression twisted into that of confusion.

  "You mean, mommy rabbit is a hero too?" Emma asked, her brow furrowing as she faced her brother and cocked her head to the side.

"Nope." Louis murmured, shaking his head before a small smile crept on to his face. "She...was...a MONSTER!" Louis growled, immediately attacking his sister in tickles.

  Emma immediately screeched with a loud laugh as she cowered away from her brother. The child immediately began thrashing at him, her giggles only growing louder and louder before she gasped, her green eyes growing wide.

  "Wait! Wait!" She exclaimed, looking at her brother in utter disbelief.

  "What is it?" Louis asked, drawing back and glancing at her. "Are you okay?"

"My tooth!" Emma exclaimed. "It's coming out! It's really coming out!" She clamped her hand over her mouth, her green eyes beaming with excitement.

  "Yeah?" Louis mused, closing the book and placing it to the side. "Let me see."

Emma proudly sat up. She reached up, pulling her lip down to show her crooked loose tooth. She forced her tongue into the space, awkwardly forcing the tooth to hang out in the empty space of her gums, almost as if she were too excited for it to fall out naturally.

  Louis coiled at the sight, vividly recalling the times he lost his baby teeth. He'd be so excited for the tooth fairy, he'd jam his tongue into the space to force the tooth out.

"You should probably stop doing that." Louis murmured, now suddenly flinching at the sight.

"Time for bed!" Tikki piped. "You both need sleep for school tomorrow!" The little Kwami spoke from the doorway of Emma's room.
 
  Louis glanced up at the Kwami, nodding subtly before he carefully climbed off the bed. Her pulled Emma's pink blanket over her body as she readjusted to get comfortable in her bed.

  "Goodnight." He whispered, placing a gentle kiss to his little sisters head.

"She ruins all the fun, doesn't she?" Plagg whined, bumping Tikki lightly before the small creature landed just where he liked, Louis' head.
 
Louis slowly stood up, gently reaching up to pluck Plagg out of his hair.
"I'm not getting you cheese, Plagg." The boy deadpanned, letting the creature go as he floated back, feigning a look of hurt.

"W-What? Y-You think I came all this way for cheese?!" The Kwami gasped. "And here I was just dropping by to see you. I practically raised you, you know."

  Louis casted a look of doubt, a small smile stretching across his lips as he crossed his arms. "Mhm..."

  Tikki sighed, facepalming herself into hell.

  "Your Lady has arrived!" Marinette exclaimed as she stepped out of the steam that emanated from the bathroom, she ran a hand through her wet hair and she grinned.

   She had just taken a shower and despite only wearing underwear, Marinette couldn't have cared less. She'd often prance around her husband like that, he mentioned countless times that he's seen her naked before.

Adrien lay on the bed in his pyjama shorts, he hummed only acknowledging Marinette briefly as he scrolled through his tablet to confirm the schedule his father had made for him.

Marinette reached down, purposely pulling her panties up past her navel to mimic the granny panty look. She awkwardly slouched over, grinning as she turned around to show it off.

"My mom body awaits!" She exclaimed again, glancing back at Adrien in hopes that her joke would catch his attention.

  Adrien barely glanced at her, his eyes trained on the screen of his tablet as he began to move things around with his fingertips.

"Yeah babe. Your mom body is hot." He murmured, his mind completely elsewhere.

Marinette sighed, her face becoming flaccid as she reached down to fix her underwear. "You know, you're not supposed to agree with me."

  Adrien chuckled, finally pulling his eyes away from the screen of his tablet with a grin.
"Sorry sweetie, your glow worm body is sexy~. Is that better?"

Marinette giggled, a small blush forming on her cheeks as she slowly approached the bed. She reached over, gently grabbing the tablet from his hands and placing it onto the bedside table.

"Oh yes~" she murmured, slowly climbing on to his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. "I like that much better. I'll be your sexy little glow worm~"

Adrien chuckled, looking into her eyes as his hands rested on her hips.
"Wait, you're a Ladybug. So technically you're a beetle."

"I'll be whatever you want me to be." She murmured, leaning closer to him to press a kiss next to his mouth.

   Adrien snorted, his hands massaging into her hips delicately. His green eyes glanced up and down her body, and for a brief moment Marinette felt self conscious.

"Go put on a bra." He murmured, scrunching up his nose with a grin.

Marinette playfully pouted, glancing down at her chest briefly before she looked up at him once more.

  "Why? Don't you like them?" She asked, laughing softly as she began to playfully shimmy her shoulders so that she could tease him.

  Adrien bit his lip, his hands slowly sliding up her body as he placed them onto her breasts without hesitation.
   Throughout the entirety of their relationship, there were countless times Marinette came on to him.
  He recalled all those times she came on to him while she was pregnant with Louis to the point where they both got intimate in a janitors closet during school hours.

   Adrien was under Marinette's thumb and he didn't want it any other way. The way she teased him when she wanted something was incredibly irresistible.

"I do. I actually love them." He replied, squeezing them gently. He couldn't believe there was a time Marinette worried that her chest was too small, even after the kids, especially when they fit into his hands so perfectly.

  Marinette giggled, immediately drawing him close. She pressed her lips to his and Adrien was more than happy to comply.
  He closed his eyes, his hands now moving back to her hips as the two shared a passionate kiss.

   Adrien smiled under the kiss, keeping his wife close to him as she drew back. She cupped his face, a small smile stretching on to her lips as she settled against his hips.

   "Hey I wasn't done." Adrien groaned, pressing gentle kisses to her neck. "You always pull away at the worst time." He murmured against her skin with a subtle blush.

  Marinette bit her lip, running her hands through his thick hair. She hummed, a deep blush brewing against her cheeks as she tugged at the length of his hair.

   "You need a haircut." She chuckled, ignoring as Adrien sucked his teeth and pulled back to glare at her.

"What?" She protested, looping one of this thick locks around her finger so that she could play with it. "It was only a suggestion."

  Adrien simply wrapped his arms around her, carefully flipping them over so that she lay flat against the bed and he could lay comfortably on top of her.

"We should be as quiet as we can." Adrien murmured, reaching up to grip on the hem of Marinette's underwear. "I know the kids are just down the hall. Not entirely sure if they're asleep..."

  Marinette blushed, biting her lip once more as she lifted her hips, allowing Adrien to slide off her panties and part her legs.

   "S- should we wait?" She breathed, her heart racing as Adrien tugged down his pyjama shorts and boxers.

   Adrien simply glanced at her, shrugging it off briefly. At the rate he was going, it wasn't likely he was willing to wait. He knew their kids were in their beds, the kwamis had made sure of that.

  Marinette rested her thighs against him, looking up at him just as he leaned down and captured her lips once more. She closed her eyes, her arms wrapping around him as she drew him close.

   Adrien pressed one hand against the bed, the other hand slipping between the both of them so that he could guide himself to her entrance.
   Marinette furrowed her brow, her body tensing up the moment she felt Adrien very carefully sink himself inside of her.

    She stifled a moan, her body trembling as it didn't matter how many times they did this, she could never find herself getting used to the sensation.

   Adrien trembled above her, his breath growing rigid as he appeared to feel the same way.
   He leaned down, lightly pressing his body against hers and keeping her close as his lips remained slated against hers.

   Marinette relaxed against him, her hands slowly cupping his face as she kissed him. A deep blush brewed on her cheeks, very slowly cascading down her to chest.

   Adrien took the initiative to move. Despite the depravity that had began to surge through his veins he remained gentle, partly because he wanted to love her passionately, and another part because the noisy shift in the bed would make things too obvious.

   She was incredibly warm and inviting. It was a sensation that Adrien could have sworn he was addicted to. It was only her that could ever make him feel this way.
  He breathed in, just as she opened her mouth against the kiss and Adrien was pleasantly greeted by the wet sensation of her tongue. His grip on her tightened, his hips never stilling between her thighs.

  Marinette felt his tongue slide against hers, her hands slowly reaching up and knotting into his thick blond hair as they kissed. It was almost as if electricity ran through her body each time she felt him move in her.
  She carefully lifted her hips, meeting him thrust for thrust as the couple silently made love. Her legs only tightened around him, her heart racing as it felt like he somehow moved deeper and deeper with each thrust.

  They had been together for so long and yet there were moments where she really craved this. It didn't matter how many times they've done it, it always felt like the first time.

  Marinette wrapped her arms around him, gripping him tightly as the butterflies ignited deep in her stomach. She quivered, her body growing more and more hot as she listened to Adrien's broken soft moans into her mouth.

   Adrien's hand gently glided up her neck, pausing to caress her face as he kissed her and it didn't take long to feel her tighten around him. He was just as close as she was.

Her grip on him only grew tighter and Adrien soon lost control of himself. Before he knew it, he had been thrusting so hard Marinette had began to bounce up the bed obnoxiously.

   Marinette gasped, her nails digging into his skin as her orgasm approached much more faster than she would have liked. She whimpered into his mouth, her body shaking as she felt Adrien still between her legs.
   She furrowed her brow, breathing against his lips as she felt him twitch and empty very soon after. She breathed out, her own breath clashing with his as he relaxed against her.

   His thumb caressed her cheek, her heart refusing to calm down as her legs slowly unwrapped themselves around from him. She pressed her face into his neck with a small smile.

   "I love you..." she breathed softly, her hands moving up to play with his hair.

   Adrien smiled, kissing her lips delicately once more.

"I love you too..."

"MOMMY! DADDY!"

Emma's voice perforated through the door suddenly, and before they both knew it, the child had bursted through their bedroom door with eagerness.

  Marinette gasped, immediately cowering against Adrien as if to hide against him.
  With his cat like reflexes, Adrien quickly grabbed the duvet, covering both him and Marinette. Adrien lay on top of her, covering her completely as if she weren't in the bed at all.

  Emma would grow highly suspicious if she had seen Marinette laying underneath him. In fact, he was sure Emma would mistake him for hurting her.

"I LOST MY TOOTH!" Emma exclaimed, jumping on her toes with her tooth in her palm. "See?!"

  Adrien laughed nervously, naturally he'd be excited about these things but regarding the circumstances, all he was focused on was getting her out of the room so that Marinette could breathe.

   "T-That's awesome, sweetheart!" Adrien stammered, feeling Marinette shift beneath him. "Get back into bed. Your mother will be in to show you how to prepare it for the tooth fairy!"

Emma paused, curiously glancing around the room for Marinette.

"Where is mom?" She asked, furrowing her brow before she glanced back at Adrien.

Adrien cleared his throat, blushing deeply as his daughter inquired about his wife.
"She's in the bathroom." He deadpanned, coming up with a lie on impulse. "Go to your room. I'll let her know to go see you."

  Emma immediately smiled, quickly glancing down at her tooth in her palm before she nodded.
"Okay!" She exclaimed, immediately turning around and leaving the room excitedly.

  Adrien and Marinette both sighed, sweat beading at their brows.

   "That was close..." Adrien breathed, carefully withdrawing from Marinette so that she could get a breath of fresh air.

"Didn't you think to lock the door when I got out of the shower?" Marinette asked, chuckling slightly as Adrien rolled off of her.

  "I didn't know we were gonna end up having sex. Otherwise I would've. I was under the impression that Tikki and Plagg had everything under control." He retorted, his cheeks growing impossibly red.

  Marinette shook her head, keeping the blanket wrapped around her as she hopped off the bed and quickly shut the door.
  Perhaps they depended on their kwamis too much.

_________________________________________

  Adrien flipped the light on in the kitchen. He had no idea why he got so hungry in the middle of the night, but he just wanted something to snack on.

   He opened the fridge, pressing his lips together tautly as he hoped there was something Marinette had prepared that was left over.

Cheese--? No- that belonged to Plagg. Plus, it was too stinky and probably tastes awful.

Juices--? No- that belonged to the kids.

  Brownies--? Perfect!

Adrien licked his lips, reaching over to grab the plate of brownies. He hummed, closing the fridge and turning around towards the kitchen counter.
  He paused, his green eyes landing on a story time book left behind.

He furrowed his brow, placing the plate on the counter before he reached over to grab the book about the mother rabbit and the baby rabbit.

  "I remember this story..." Adrien murmured to himself, slowly opening the book to see the photos inside. He recalled vividly how Marinette would read this story to Louis all the time when he was a toddler. Louis always pointed to the mother rabbit and expressed how much he loved the mother rabbit.

     °• "Louis, I said not to come in here so late..." °•

Adrien froze, the lines beneath his eyes deepening at the sound of his own voice. His heart squeezed in his chest as he could still recall that night so many years ago.

Louis had came into his room and asked Adrien to read him a story. Instead, Adrien pushed his son down to the ground and scolded him. All because he was having a traumatic nightmare about his wife passing away over and over.

  Adrien knew that Louis had no recollection of what had happened as the akuma erased the entire timeline completely, and he still had no idea why he and Plagg could still remember every minute detail.

   Oh how he wished he could rid those memories. Adrien felt his appetite for the brownies immediately washing away the moment he remembered how frightened Louis was. He remembered how he didn't want to be around him, he remembered the way he fell to the ground, grabbing the book before running away in fear.
  It tore at his heart relentlessly, and for a brief moment Adrien felt like he couldnt breathe. His chest had felt so tight.

  "Dad?"

Adrien blinked, the sound of his son's voice immediately pulling him out of his self deprecation.

He glanced up, his green eyes landing on his tousled haired son who stood at the kitchen entrance in his black cat pyjamas. Louis yawned, quickly reaching up to rub his eyes before he glanced at his dad once more.

"Are you okay?"

  Adrien glanced down at the brownies distastefully, wondering if Tikki would be up to having a bite instead and Adrien nodded, knowing full well his son wouldn't understand. Adrien wouldn't want him to know about it anyway.

"Yeah, I'm alright." He replied, setting the brownies to the side with a grimace.

  Louis simply nodded, walking around the counter so that he had access to the fridge. He pulled out a juice for both he and his sister.

  "Lou-" Adrien murmured before his son could leave the kitchen. "You know that I love you, right?"

  Louis paused, furrowing his brow as his father spoke to him. The preteen stood awkwardly to the side, glancing around before nodding slowly. A pliable expression plastered it's way on to his face and he approached the counter, placing the juices onto it with a small smile.

  "Yeah I do." He replied promptly as he glanced at his father from across the counter. "Is that why you guys are always watching us?"

Adrien furrowed his brow watching as his son leaned against the counter and began wringing his hands.

  "Watching you?" Adrien asked. "What do you mean?"

  "I mean that I've seen Ladybug and Chat Noir." Louis replied. "When I walk with Emma after school. I see you guys all the time."

  Adrien sighed, shaking his head with a light chuckle. He placed his hands on the counter and glanced at the kitchen entrance. He knew they'd be found out sooner or later. His kids were not dumb.

  "That's all your mother's idea." Adrien deadpanned. "Trust me if it were up to me, I'd have her parents just call us." He had no issues throwing Marinette under the bus with this one.

  Louis hummed, nodding his head.
"Right..."

Adrien pursed his lips, his eyes moving back to Louis before he walked around the counter to wrap his arms around his son.

Louis immediately wrapped his arms around his father without hesitation. The sudden burst of affection never surprised him, in fact he was used to it. For as long as he remembered, his parents were always affectionate with him and his sister.

Louis never once craved attention from his parents or felt neglected. He was pretty well fed in that department.

  "You know when you were born, your mother and I had absolutely no idea what we were doing." He chuckled, recalling how often they'd be up at night because Louis was gassy or wanted milk.

  "Really?" Louis mused, pulling back to look at his dad with a perked brow.

"Yeah" Adrien sighed. "We were still in high school. Seventeen years old. Only a few years older than you. You were our first baby. We had to grow the moment we had you. We were scared but totally clueless." He paused, tugging his son closer to him. "We wanted to be the best parents out there. I'd like to think we're doing a great job."

Louis chuckled, keeping one arm around the waist of his dad with a small smile. "Don't worry. I think you're a great dad."

  Adrien reached up, tussling his son's hair with a warm smile. Now looking at him, he had been so used to seeing his chubby little toddler.
He always saw Louis with chubby cheeks, wide blue eyes, a tiny freckled nose and meatball little hands. But now, looking at him, he had grown so tall, and his face had thinned out significantly.

  He wasn't a chubby little toddler anymore, in fact he had grown as tall as Adrien when he was about that age. Had it not been for the freckles on his face and his blue eyes, Adrien would have mistaken him for his younger self.

  He was growing much too fast.

Adrien grabbed Louis by the shoulders, sighing as he knew this was going to eventually happen.
  "Lou, you're gonna be twelve soon and before we know it, you're gonna be thirteen....a teenager." He sighed, glancing at his son. "I think it's time we talk about the birds and the bees."

Louis stared blankly at Adrien. The wheels in his head turning slowly. He may have heard about it before, but he wasn't sure if this was something he wanted to converse about with his father.

  "I really don't...want to talk about that." Louis replied as bluntly as he could.

  "No no." Adrien replied obdurately. "You see, my father didn't have these talks with me when I was your age, and we barely learned it in school." He explained. "Which is probably partially the reason why you're here."

Louis widened his eyes, throwing his arms up in disbelief with an exasperated scoff.
"Wha-- who says that to their own child?" He breathed, his head shaking.

  "It's a natural thing to do-" Adrien interjected, completely ignoring the horror on his son's face. "You see your mother and I--"

"Don't finish that sentence-" Louis cut him off with wide eyes. "That's so gross!"

Adrien shook his head, patting his son's shoulder gently. "No, it's not gross." He sighed. "If it were gross, you wouldn't be here."

  Louis facepalmed, his face growing red as he was about ready to make a run for it. He sighed, reaching for his drink awkwardly.

  "There's gonna be a time when you're gonna want a girlfriend-" Adrien continued, watching his son take a sip of his drink.

  "Dad, I don't want a girlfriend right now." He murmured, taking another awkward sip of his drink.

  "Boyfriend?" Adrien mused, raising a brow at his son who continued to take rigid sips of his drink.
  Louis stared at his father, swallowing his drink as he shook his head.
"No." He replied as bluntly as he could. "I'm more into video games and sneakers right now."

  Adrien nodded, running his thumb against his bottom lip. "Okay, but still-"

  "I'm going to bed." Louis smiled awkwardly. "Goodnight dad."

  Adrien sighed, feeling dejected as Louis shut down the conversation. He leaned against the counter, watching as Louis grabbed the juice for Emma and nearly ran out of the kitchen.

"This conversation isn't over!" Adrien called out to him, crossing his arms.

_________________________________________

  "Do you think the tooth fairy will come?" Emma asked as Marinette pulled the blanket over her body. Her green eyes were wide with excitement and for a brief moment, Marinette was worried she was gonna be up all night.
  She needed Emma to be sleeping if she wanted to replace the tooth with money before the night was over.

  "Yes, she will come." Marinette reassured her daughter with a warm smile. "But you have to sleep or she will have issues putting the money under your pillow."

"Don't worry, I'll be going to sleep too." Tikki whispered, nuzzling the space beside Emma's head. "I'll make sure the tooth fairy gets in safe."

  Emma grinned, nuzzling into her pillows as Marinette booped her nose.
"Okay, I will go to sleep!" She piped, the child likely much too excited to fall asleep.

  "Goodnight, sweetheart." Marinette whispered, leaning down to kiss her daughter on the top of her head. "I love you."

  Emma hummed softly, relaxing into the bed with a subtle blush.
"Goodnight, mommy." Emma yawned softly. "I love you too..."

  Marinette stood up, slowly walking towards the door and flicking off the lights. She glanced at her daughter one last time as the child turned over, cuddling Tikki as best as she could before Marinette closed the door.

  Marinette stepped into the hallway, glancing up just as Louis made his way down the hall towards his room.

  "What are you still doing up?" She inquired her blue eyes glued on to the preteen as he approached her.

  "I went to grab a juice for Emma." He elucidated, handing Marinette the juice box. "Can you give this to her?"

  Marinette took the juice box, nodding as she looked at it. She smiled, quite proud at how nurturing Louis was towards his little sister.
   Dare she say he knew her better than she did? They were incredibly close and Marinette inwardly pat herself on the back. She did good.

"I bumped into dad." Louis explained, glancing up at his mom. "He tried to give me the talk about the birds and the bees."

  Marinette perked a brow, her blue eyes examining her son as he scrunched up his freckled nose.

  "And how did that go?"

Louis shuddered, shaking his head as he looked at his mother.

"It didn't-"

Marinette hummed, nodding softly.
"Ah, I see..." she breathed reaching over with her other hand to run her hand through his hair. "Get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow."

  Louis closed his eyes as his mother kissed the top of his head. He gently wrapped his arms around her with a small smile. "I love you." He whispered.

  Marinette smiled, hugging her son back tightly. "I love you too..."

  She hesitated, but she didn't want to let him go. He was her first baby, and despite Adrien seeing how much he's grown, Marinette hadn't been able to see it yet.
 
  Louis gently pulled away from his mother, yawning before he moved down the hall towards his bedroom door.

  Marinette crossed her arms, glancing over towards the opposite hall where she could spot Adrien leaving the kitchen.

   Louis entered his room, his blue eyes landing on the small black creature who waited for him on his pillow.

  "Did you bring the stuff?" Plagg asked, sitting up and eyeing the preteen curiously.

Louis chuckled, reaching into his pyjama pocket to pull out a piece of stinky cheese.
"I sure did-" he replied, casually tossing it towards Plagg who hastily gobbled it up.

_________________________________________

"How could you?" Marinette hissed, closing their bedroom door behind them. "Why would you do this?"

  Adrien sat on the edge of the bed, pulling his eyes away from his tablet with a flummoxed expression.

  "....what?" He asked, placing his tablet to the side slowly. "What did I do?"

Marinette felt her face heat up and she crossed her arms, flames nearly burning in her eyes as she approached him.

"You tried to talk to Louis about the birds and the bees? He's still a baby! Are you trying to pry him away from me?"

  Adrien furrowed his brow, glancing around briefly with confusion.
"Baby?" He mused. "Marinette, he's nearly a teenager. He's getting to the age where we were, you know when we started seeing each other." Adrien stood up. "Our parents never had this conversation with us, which is why we were so careless back then. One of these days he's going to meet someone and we need to prepare for that."

Marinette adamantly shook her head, her heart racing as she thought about her baby faced toddler.
"No, he doesn't need a girlfriend or boyfriend, all he needs is me."

Adrien chuckled, placing his hands on her hips and lightly drawing her close with a small smile.

  "You wanna make him into a momma's boy?" He asked, glancing down at his wife who's face was turning all shades of red.

  "And what's wrong with that?" Marinette asked, refusing to believe that her son would ever find someone else. "At least he knows I'd never hurt him the way a girlfriend or boyfriend would."

"Marinette, Louis will still love you regardless of who he meets. I know you're worried that you'll be replaced or that he would be too preoccupied to spend time with you, but that's not true.  You'll always be his mother and that love is irrevocable." Adrien murmured, lightly pulling Marinette against him.

  Marinette frowned, placing her face into his chest with a small sigh. She wasn't ready to let Louis grow yet. In her eyes, he was still her baby. She wanted him to stay that way forever.

"How do you know?" Marinette whimpered, burying her face into his chest with a deep blush. She gripped on to his shirt, nuzzling into him like a toddler that needed to be coddled.

  "Because I was really close to my mom when I was younger. She meant the world to me, and she still does." Adrien explained. "I guess you can say I was a momma's boy too..." he rested his chin on the top of her head.

"But then I met you." He slowly began to run his fingertips up and down her back. He closed his eyes, remembering the last pieces he had of his mother before she disappeared.
"I love you both so much and if she were here, I know she would've loved you. I would have wanted you guys to get to know one another better."

  Marinette closed her eyes, relaxing into him as she wondered what his mother was like. While it was true, they both loved each other very much, there was always a special place of love in his heart for his mother.

  She carefully swathed her arms around him, drawing him close.

She didn't want any of her kids to grow up yet.
