A/N: Probably not a chapter update to some, depending how far you are in the story, if you are waiting on an update, please read the chapter before this one. I did some looking and turns out I was missing one. I'm so sorry guys!!!

Adrien ran a hand through his hair as he watched Marinette leave his home solemnly with their son. The look on her face remained completely impassive, but with the long years that he has known his love, he was well aware that she was a nervous wreck.

Adrien was too. Although Marinette had no idea what he was planning for later on in the day, they both couldn't help put to be anything but enthralled to be in the presence of Mr. Gabriel Agreste.

Adrien closed the door thoughtfully, being sure to watch Marinette climb into his chauffeurs' car, and taking off before doing so. He leaned against the door with a grimace, his green orbs landing on his father who stood only a few feet away.

Adrien pressed his lips together, his heart thumping painfully in his chest.

The two remained silent.

Not one of them uttered a single word to each other. Adrien could have sworn that he felt the silence tearing its way through his ear drums. The only thing he could manage to do was look at his father, a silent plea to get him to do something to stop the aching stillness between the two of them..

Gabriel simply cracked a smile, his stiff posture slightly shifting as one of his arms, which was tucked away neatly behind his back.

Adrien's eyes carefully landed on his father's palm which was held out to him as if it were a peace offering.

Within the raised appendage, was a small black box in the palm of his fathers hand. It rested peacefully and contrasted to his skin.

Adrien looked up at his father, almost silently asking for permission before he delicately took the item out of his father's palm.

Adrien could feel his heart aching in his throat at smooth velvet texture.

His father didn't seem too inhibited by the idea of his son on the verge of proposing, but rather empathy on Adrien's behalf as to how he was going to ask her parents for their permission to marry their daughter.

"Good luck..."

The words sliced through the thick and deafening silence.

Adrien looked up at his father, he couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic, or actually genuine at Adrien's situation. He closed his hand around the box, and nodded softly.

"Thank you....father..." He spoke, his voice smoother than the nerves that he began to work up within almost every fiber of his being.

Adrien breathed deep, almost as if to assure himself that it wasn't the end of the world. He was almost positive that her parents weren't going to give him their blessings...they did have a child together after all.

Gabriel nodded, his glasses almost glaring as Adrien opened the door.

"I'll have your apartment key ready for you when you return.."Gabriel assured, as Adrien turned back one last time.

"What is he up to?" Alya asked, her arms folded as she folded her arms with ease.

Marinette squinted under the sun, her pale skin dampening with sweat as she shifted.

It had been Adrien's idea to ship the three of them off to the park. It wasn't something Marinette particularly wanted at this time of day...and weather. But, he was her love, and Louis seemed to be in favor of the idea.

Marinette grunted as she pushed onto the swing, allowing Louis to excel slightly before he retracted back towards her.

"I'm not really sure...but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous." Marinette responded, her blue orbs latching on to her son as he swayed through the air on the park swing.

Alya pursed her lips as she too watched Louis squirm playfully on the swing.

"You don't think he's spending quality time with his father...do you?" She asked, raising a brow curiously as Marinette shook her head in half hearted contemplation.

"I don't know...but something is up. He asked me to leave for awhile with Louis because he had something planned...I hope the apartment is nice, my mom got too emotional at the visage of my leaving." She giggled, as she latched on to the swing to bring it to a halt.

Louis whipped his head around and looked at Marinette in utter protest.

"He's got his fathers look." Alya deadpanned, as Marinette giggled.

"You would have never believed he belongs to Chat Noir."

Marinette shook her head at Alya's statement.

"That's because he's Adrien all over again." She chided as she slowly began to push the little one on the swing.

Marinette pressed her lips together as she thought for some time. She was a little nervous. Adrien had seem to put off a secretive aura, and it nearly hurt Marinette. She knew Adrien wasn't the type of person to keep anything from her, which is why this made her worried.

She sighed, attempting to clear her mind of all things that were negative, and focus on Louis...even if he did look a lot like his father.

Adrien stared blankly into thin air, as he felt something he thought he would have never felt again. He missed him mom...he really did. He missed the comfort, the aura, hell...he even missed her smell. For the most part, he had kept a comfortable distance from his father during his mother's disappearance. He had grown numb to the lack of companionship from his father. Which was why he was surprised when he felt something wet on his cheek.

A heartbeat

A breath

A cry...

Adrien felt her arms wrapped around him tightly, almost so tight that he couldn't breathe. His green eyes widened as Sabine held him in such a tight embrace. It send the slightest quiver to his heart as he had been embraced by someone that wasn't Marinette. It was in such a way that Adrien almost broke down to his knees. Since his mother's disappearance, Adrien yearned for such a touch.

Sabine pulled back to look at him, her gray eyes connecting with his, as she gave him a subtle nod. A small smile pulled at the edges of her lips, followed by the one word he had hoped to hear.

"Yes."

Adrien's heart beat picked up the pace as his eyes soon averted to Tom, who stood behind Sabine, with his brow furrowed in deep concentration. He looked up at Adrien and nodded.

"Alright. You have our blessing."

Marinette fidgeted in the back seat of the vehicle. She had already missed Louis, but her parent's were just too eager to see him for a reason she was completely unaware about. Marinette blew air through her lips as she looked up at the ceiling of the car. A small blush rose to her cheeks, and she subconsciously rubbed them. She wondered what Adrien was up to, and if it had something to do with her parent's strange behavior. Marinette really tried not to think much of it, but the thought was genuinely killing her.

Marinette was known for throwing things off the rail, but by all the gods known in existence, she did not do well when it came to surprises.

In the back of her mind, Marinette wondered what the new place would have looked like. She didn't want to expect too much, even though her boyfriend's father was Adrien Agreste, the model and son of the one and only Gabriel Agreste. Marinette pursed her lips in thought. Anything was better than the living conditions they were in currently. Louis was getting to be a big boy, and he needed his own space. A growing boy needed space for his toys, and his new big boy bed.

Marinette then began to bite her lip with a small smile, as her eyes trailed up and down, tracing car door patterns with her blue irises at the thought of it.

Her and Adrien were almost inseparable, and it was getting harder and harder for the two of them to do anything with one another with Louis sleeping a few feet away from them, let alone with their parents lurking around somewhere.

In just an instant, the aesthetic feeling washed away, and her anxiousness returned loyally. She crossed her legs and sighed.

Adrien placed a hand on her thigh, sitting beside her he leaned down and pressed a tender kiss to her cheek. The padding of his thumb rubbed comforting circles into the skin of her leg as if he could sense her anxiety from miles away.

"Marinette, it's going to be okay..." He whispered soothingly. "Just relax."

Marinette chewed on the inside of her cheek and nodded. She looked out the window, watching houses and trees that were once whisking by her carefully return to a halt.

Adrien's eyes followed Marinette's to the world outside the car. He inwardly scolded himself, trying desperately to take his own advice and remain calm, but he was nervous as hell.

Marinette caught her eyes on a small one leveled home, and she couldn't stop the blush that ran up her chest and face like a heard of hungry fire ants. She cleared her throat and looked ahead of her, refusing to get ahead of herself in such the worse of ways. Everyone knew how much she could overthink things. Whenever she was given an inch, she would somehow make a mile of it.

Adrien then moved his hand to catch hers. Marinette gasped lightly, her head turning to watch his fingers tenderly laced with hers.

"Ready?" He asked, looking at her curiously while Marinette mentally prepared herself for their own very first home together.

"Of course." Marinette responded with a soft smile. Adrien nodded and gently released her hand so that the two of them could exit the vehicle from their own respective sides. Adrien walked around, watching Marinette's expressions carefully.

Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink as she blushed, the blush then traveled down to her chest and her fingers trembled as they reached out for his.

Adrien gave her a reassuring chuckle, and subtly reached back for her hand, interlacing them once more like they were meant to do.

Marinette could feel her heart pounding out of her chest, and she habitually leaned against him. Adrien's hand then slipped from her hand and casually wrapped around her waist.

"Should I carry you?" He whispered softly into her ear.

Marinette was at a loss for words as she took in the view of their brand new one leveled house. She could very well see the two of them raising Louis as a true family there. She pictured her mother and father frequently visiting, bringing gifts for anniversaries, birthday parties, cookouts, and just family get together parties. Marinette felt the excitement bubble into her stomach and she wanted to leap. She wouldn't need Adrien to carry her because she was almost sure that she could fly.

It look almost five minutes for Marinette to be pulled out of her trance, and she was finally able to focus on her boyfriend. She wiggled her nose and she smiled at him.

"Is this for real life?" She giggled

Adrien nodded with a small smile and he started to tug her. He felt himself growing more and more antsy as he made his way closer to their new home. He fumbled with the key in his pocket and he unlocked the door.

Marinette's eyes grew even wider at the she saw the spacious living room. There was no furniture inside, but she was grateful for that. She saw it as an empty canvas. They could paint and fill it to how ever they wanted it, as long as it was their home. Marinette smiled even wider as she ran towards the large double doors towards the outside patio. She watched in awe of the view of their yard.

All of her dreams were slowly coming true. She was grateful that he was willing to take the first step in owning a home with her. Sure, she was a little bummed that they weren't married, which was what she wanted badly, but she was able to live with this.

Adrien stood behind her, he watched her figure in the door way as the windowed doors allowed an elegant light that blessed him with a better few of the goddess in front of him.

Marinette was a queen, she was the mother of his child. He had never felt so lucky to have someone as loyal, brave and immaculate as her. She was all his, and he wanted to make sure that everyone knew it. He knew she wanted this bad, but he never realized how bad he wanted this too.

He carefully walked up beside her and watched her carefully as she admired the yard.

"Do you like it?" He asked, his eyes trailing to her beautiful pink lip that parted as she smiled.

"I love it, I can see us building a life here...I am so glad you talked to your dad!" She exclaimed and she looked at him briefly before she went back to looking at the yard.

Adrien gulped, and his heart pounded.

"Do...you think you'd be able to spend the rest of your life here? With...me?" He mused and kept his watch closely on her.

Marinette chuckled. She opened her mouth once more to speak, and she turned to face him.

"Adrien-" Her sentence was cut short, the moment Adrien held on to her hand and carefully descended to one knee.

"O-Oh m-m-my..." she gasped. Tears immediately welled into her eyes, as Adrien looked up to her.

This couldn't be happening. There was no way this could have been happening. Marinette found her knees shaking as she had waited for this moment the moment she realized she had feelings for Adrien.

"Marinette...I love you. We have been through so much together. We fought side by side together, we were classmates for years. You were one of the most important friends I've ever made...and we have a beautiful child together. You are my rock, you are my life, you are my queen, you are my heroine. Through the time we were together I fell in love with how you care and raised Louis, how you take care of me...and I want to spend the rest of my life together." He licked his lip as he spoke. His thumb lightly caressed the top of her hand as he felt it trembling.

"Marinette..." He continued. "Would you do me the honor of marrying me?" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. "Would you please be my wife?" He let go of her hand and opened the box, the ring rested respectively in the box. He looked up at her. "Marinette, marry me. Promise you'll stay with me."

Marinette remained quiet as she trembled. She couldn't open her mouth as she was choked with tears. The tears fell from her eyes and it took a few moments for her to respond. Her hands trembled as she reached for his hand.

"Y-You don't have to ask me. You know you're all that I live for..." she sobbed and looked down at him. "I'll always be beside you."

Adrien smiled and he slowly took out the ring. Holding her trembling hand, he slipped the ring on to her finger perfectly. He stood up and wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled her close, her reaction springing a few tears from his own eyes.

Marinette squeezed her eyes shut as she sobbed, trying her best not to pass out.

Adrien felt her trembling in his arms and he slowly pulled away to silence her with a small kiss.
