Chapter 4

-MARINETTE-

Marinette stood beside Adrien awkwardly as Chloé stood in front of him.

Her fists clenched in anger, her face pink with frustration.

"You're with Marinette?!" She screeched.

Marinette flinched, Alya and Nino was behind them, not too far away, but close enough to see what was about to unfold.

Adrien crossed his arms.

"Yes, Chloé. We've been together for a little over a year, maybe?" Adrien responded calmly.

Marinette looked at him, her blush deepening.

"You two even have a kid?!" Chloé yelled.

Marinette flinched.

The whole school was going to know that her and Adrien had a child because of Chloé's fat mouth.

The five of them stood in front of the school doors awkwardly, the rest of the students waiting, watching as the events unfolded in front of them.

"I'm assuming Sabrina told you..." He sighed.

Chloé didn't answer, she simply fumed at Adrien.

Sabrina didn't seem to be anywhere in sight.

However, Marinette couldn't help but to be slightly curious as to why he told Sabrina this.

She furrowed her brow.

The many different scenarios ran through her head of how that came to be.

Marinette pouted her bottom lip with jealousy.

"How...could...you?! And out of everyone...HER!" Chloé hissed.

Marinette glared at Chloé, her fists clenched.

"You have no room to talk! You're the most vile creature I've ever come into contact with!" Marinette retorted back. Her pride incredibly hurt by Chloé's remark.

"He made a child with me. GET OVER IT." Marinette continued. "He's better than you in every aspect of personality, and he only has two teeth."

Chloé grounded her teeth. Her blue eyes coursing with rage.

With a swift and mighty punch, she hit Adrien right where the Sun didn't shine.

Adrien squeaked and hunched over. His hands tucked between his legs as he fell to his knees.

Marinette gasped immediately hovering down over with him.

"Adrien!" She screeched.

Nino and Alya both gasped and ran up to join both Marinette and Adrien.

Chloé quickly fixed her posture. She flicked her ponytail and simply walked away.

Marinette looked up at her with a glare.

"What a prick." Alya muttered through her teeth.

"Is she even allowed to do that?" Nino asked.

Alya sighed shaking her head.

"Well, she's the daughter of the mayor." Alya replied with a sigh. "She'll more than likely get away with it..."

Marinette looked up, Adrien slowly relaxing under her palm.

She clenched her teeth, and breathed heavily.

"One of these days, I'm just going to kick her a-"

"No, you're not." Adrien breathed, cutting Marinette off before she could continue the last word of her sentence.

Marinette looked at Adrien as he stood up, his legs shaking.

Marinette sighed with a grimace.

"Are you alright?" She asked as he breathed out deeply.

He gave her a reassuring smile. "Y-yeah." He replied almost shyly. His face as flushed with that of embarrassment.

Marinette looked at Alya.

"I'm so mad." She hissed.

Adrien gently touched her shoulder.

"It's not worth it, Marinette. I'm fine... Maybe a little embarrassed, but I'll live." He spoke softly.

Marinette looked at him, and nodded, letting it slide this time.

Marinette was beginning to lose her patience.

"Come on, class is about to start." Nino said softly, his hand slipping into Alya's.

Alya smiled as Nino and began to walk with him.

Marinette looked at Adrien as he struggled to walk straight towards class.

She could tell from the look on his face he was still in some sort of pain.

"I think she killed any siblings for Louis." Adrien chuckled, his hand slipping into Marinette's.

Marinette continued to glare at him, her eyes narrowing, her cheeks growing pink and her bottom lip pouting.

"What?" Adrien asked curiously, pausing just outside of the classroom door.

Marinette sighed.

She didn't want to come off as that type, but lately she's been that way. She couldn't help herself. She continued to go over ways In her head that didn't make her come off as rude.

" How did Sabrina know we have a son?" She asked, her breath slightly rigid.

Adrien simply looked at her.

"I told her...how else?" He responded.

Marinette nodded.

"Adrien, did something happen? That you absolutely had to tell her..." Her voice trailed off as the crazy scenarios repeated in her head.

Adrien sighed, rubbing his temples as he shifted his weight.

"Marinette, nothing happened. We went through this already. Don't you trust me?" He groaned.

Marinette nodded.

She could be so annoying.

She bit her lip and nodded.

"I'm just...scared that she'll come on to you." She replied.

Adrien sighed, slipping his hand into hers.

"Lets get going." He murmured softly ignoring her last remark.

Marinette nodded and continued to go.

-ADRIEN-

Adrien didn't feel like working on his project. He simply just wanted to sleep all day. His son had spend the day with Marinette's parents, while Marinette finally decided to meet Nathanaël outside of school.

Adrien sat on his bed as Sabrina looked at him carefully.

Adrien sighed glaring at her before he finally decided to speak again.

"Sabrina... Why'd you tell Chloé?" He asked, softly.

Sabrina gulped, her face redder than her lips.

"I-it was an accident. It slipped out of my mouth." Sabrina explained.

Adrien folded his arms.

"Just slipped out?" Adrien asked.

He gave Sabrina the benefit of the doubt. He was well aware of what kind of person she was whenever she was around Chloé.

"She was planning on asking you out. Saying a whole bunch of things about you. She didn't know you were seeing someone. She was just as clueless as me. We didn't know anything about your baby." She explained.

Adrien shook his head, sighing a bit. He didn't want to upset her anymore, or make things more awkward between the both of them.

Although he was a bit annoyed that because of Sabrina's mouth, he was punched in the balls.

He didn't want to be angry about it, either.

It was going to be hard to concentrate if he did so.

"Did you draw out the last of the drafts before we start our research?" Adrien asked, almost nervously, immediately hoping to change the subject.

Sabrina looked up at him, her face more red than a tomato. Her lips were a much more lighter pink than her face which gave her an odd appearance.

Adrien withheld a soft giggle.

Sabrina nodded.

"I-I gathered research...rather than draw the drafts. I figured we'd piece together important information before we start pushing them into the temple. It'll give us an outline for the report." Sabrina explained thoughtfully.

Adrien grinned.

"Nice work." He replied.

Sabrina giggled.

-MARINETTE-

Marinette always made sure to meet Nathanaël anywhere that wasn't her home.

He didn't know about her son, and she didn't want him to know either.

She was unaware of how he felt for her, and she wanted to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

She totally didn't agree to Adrien's decision about meeting at home for project assignments, but what does he have to worry anyway?

Louis was never at his house because Mr. Agreste, and Nathalie all despised the little one for no reason.

The thought angered her as she placed her bag on the desk inside the library of the school.

She attempted to will away all the thoughts in her head as she knew that Sabrina was once again at Adrien's house, probably in his room...on his bed...

Marinette shook her head as she began to feel weary of the waves of emotions she was feeling lately.

She didn't want to come off as a crazy jealous girlfriend.

She sat at the desk, and pulled out the drafts for the presentations.

She looked up, just as Nathanaël walked into the door.

His red hair, was pushed back slightly, his body lean as his sleeves were rolled up just above his elbows.

Marinette looked at him, blinking a few times.

This was new.

She never really paid attention to his appearance at all. She realized now that he looked kinda good.

Marinette cleared her throat as he took a seat. He seemed just as shy as he usually was, despite the minor changes in his appearance.

Marinette pressed her lips together.

Nathanaël shyly folded his hands in front of her.

"I...I have started some drafts..." Marinette swallowed. "I think that maybe you should look at them"

She reached into her school bag, pulling out the folders with the sketched out drafts she had made the night before.

She thoughtfully slid them across the table.

Nathanaël took them carefully, and slowly went through each of the pages. He hummed thoughtfully as he flipped through them.

"I think the templates...are a bit too plain." He said softly.

Marinette looked at him with a grimace.

"You think so?" She asked, her cheeks flushing a bit.

Nathanaël nodded shyly.

"B-But it's okay. I can help enhance it." He assured politely.

Marinette looked up at him, her lips pressed tightly together as she looked at him.

He shifted slightly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"May I?" He asked, stacking the papers together and holding his hand out.

Marinette nodded, reaching into her bag and pulling out a pencil.

She thoughtfully placed the utensil on to his palm.

Nathanaël smiled and then leaned over.

Marinette curiously watched as Nathanaël glided the pencil across the paper gently.

Marinette slowly leaned over, a small smile forming on to her face as he began to spice up their presentation draft.

When he added a few touches to the last paper he sighed with a smile of content.

The pencil, almost dull, was carefully thrown on to the table top.

Marinette looked up at him, then gathered the papers for a second look.

Marinette examined each one carefully.

She nodded in approval.

Marinette was deeply impressed.

She could respect a fellow creative sketcher.

"Wow. This is awesome, Nathanaël. I can't wait to see how the final draft turns out." Marinette chuckled.

Nathanaël chuckled shyly.

"Thanks, Marinette." He replied thoughtfully.

"I can't believe you still draw after all these years" Marinette murmured softly, slightly blushing as all the drawings he used to make for her flooded her mind.

Nathanaël nodded as he reached into his bag for his laptop.

"Y-yeah. It's a huge passion of mine" he replied, flipping open the laptop screen and connecting online to start their research.

Marinette nodded, watching as he set up.

"I'm assuming you hope to make a career out of it?" She asked, slowly standing up, and walking around the table.

Nathanaël blushed as Marinette now sat beside him, leaning closer to look at the screen.

Nathanaël swallowed hard and nodded.

"Of course. I'd love to work for a well known animation company." Nathanaël replied.

Marinette smiled.

"That's really awesome, Nathanaël." She giggled.

After her and Nathanaël worked on their project, Marinette found herself walking to Adrien's house.

Subconsciously, she wondered if she would walk in on Adrien and Sabrina doing something, but at the same time, she knew Adrien wouldn't do something like that.

He wasn't that type of person.

Marinette couldn't stop herself from thinking about Nathanaël on her way to Adrien's home.

She was surprised and impressed at how far he's come since the two of them clashed a few years ago.

It was the first time she's thought about something else that wasn't Louis and what Adrien was doing whenever she wasn't around.

Marinette found herself growing more nervous as she stepped in front of the large gates of the mansion.

She was still aware that his father didn't approve of her and their son.

Marinette held her schoolbag nervously. She slowly walked passed the open gates and made her way towards the two very large doors in the center.

She slowly brought her fist towards the door and gasped as they already opened before she could even knock.

Marinette took a few steps back.

Sabrina emerged from the doors, her face flushed as she giggled.

Marinette glared at her immediately.

Sabrina didn't seem to notice her, as she was completely focused on Adrien who was now standing beside her.

"I'm so happy, we got most of the research done." Sabrina spoke softly.

Adrien chuckled nervously.

"Yeah. It's just wasn't as easy as I thought it would be." He admitted nervously, his eyes trailing off to Marinette who stood off to the side. He immediately noticed the glare in her eyes and inwardly flinched.

"Marinette?" He hissed.

Sabrina immediately turned around.

Marinette flickered her eyes from Sabrina, to Adrien.

Sabrina shivered with slight fear as she noticed the glare in Marinette's eyes.

"Sorry, am I interrupting anything?" Marinette asked sharply through her teeth. She tried her best to withhold the jealously that laced through her voice in vain.

Sabrina shook her head, and gulped.

Adrien looked at Marinette wearily. He needed to sneak her upstairs before anyone like Nathalie and his father could notice.

Sabrina sighed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I-I should go." She laughed nervously, as she walked down the steps.

Adrien looked at Sabrina as he grabbed Marinette's hand tightly.

"I'll see you later, Sabrina." He said.

Sabrina smiled and waved as she made her way towards the gate.

Adrien yanked Marinette inside as carefully as he could.

Without looking back he rushed her up the stairs.

Marinette tried to keep up, tripping over her feet occasionally as the two made it to his bedroom safe and sound.

Adrien shut the door behind him and breathed out.

Marinette stood by his bed and looked at him.

Adrien looked at her, furrowing his brow in frustration.

"Marinette...please don't tell me that you showed up because you didn't trust me being alone with Sabrina." Adrien huffed.

Marinette blushed, her face growing darker than ever.

She shook her head.

"No of course not." She protested adamantly.

Marinette really didn't know why she wondered down to Adrien's house.

Truth be told, she got out of the study session with Nathanaël sooner than she had expected. He had to leave early, something about his father required attention. Marinette didn't pay much to it. It was none of her business.

Her parents were still out with Louis for another few hours, and Marinette would be home alone with Tikki.

What good would that be?

She figured she'd use this time with Adrien when he finished his study session.

Adrien looked at her, waiting for her next move.

Marinette flattened the wrinkles in her shirt and looked up at him.

"I...I just missed you." Marinette sighed.

"We barely have any time together. I thought that just cuddling would be something nice to do, since we barely have time to do that either." She explained with a deep sigh.

The stress of caring for Louis, the project, the constant worry over Adrien, it really started to take its toll.

Marinette shifted her weight, rubbing her temples as her headache came on strong.

Adrien breathed deeply as his facial features softened.

He couldn't help but to feel bad at how she felt.

They both had been lonely at times, and Adrien felt that he was neglecting her, despite the countless claims of her saying otherwise.

Adrien sighed and carefully pushed himself off the door.

Marinette watched as he approached her, his arms immediately wrapping around her.

Marinette smiled, as she breathed In his scent. She wrapped her arms around him and leaned into him.

It was even the small gestures like this, that made her happy.

Marinette furrowed her brow as her head pounded.

"Come on. We can lay down for a few hours." Adrien urged softly.

Marinette nodded as she pulled away.

Adrien carefully sat on the edge of the bed. He looked up at Marinette, who rubbed her temples thoughtfully.

"Is everything okay?" He asked, his brow raised.

Marinette slowly shifted with a small smile.

"Yeah. Just a headache." She admitted sheepishly.

Adrien pressed his lips together. He pointed to his computer desk.

"There's aspirin in there, if you want some. Just get some water from the bathroom and we can lay down until it goes away."

Marinette nodded at his words.

She really liked the sound of that idea.

She slowly walked up to his computer desk, and pulled open the drawer carefully.

Marinette yawned, as she spotted the box of aspirin.

She reached inside, the back of her hand brushing over the stack of condoms he had tucked away neatly.

Wait...condoms?

Marinette gripped the bottle, her face growing a dark shade of red.

She whipped around and looked at Adrien.

"Condoms, Adrien?! Condoms? Where you planning something while I was away?" Marinette hissed.

Adrien's eyes widened, he heaved over and shook his head.

"Marinette, what on earth are you on about?" Adrien sighed softly. "Now you're giving me a headache."

Marinette folded her arms.

"Why do you have condoms, Adrien?" Marinette asked once more.

Adrien shot her a warning look.

"Why else would I, Marinette?" He snapped back. "Do you WANT to end up pregnant again?" He asked, standing up immediately.

Marinette glared at him, her hands shaking.

"I'm on birth control! Plus we don't even have sex!" She retorted back.

Adrien bit his lip.

"Since when?!" He asked.

Marinette rolled her eyes.

"Since three months ago!" She replied.

Adrien shrugged his shoulders in exasperation.

"How would I know that?!"

Marinette clenched her teeth.

"You wouldn't! We don't even have sex anymore, Adrien!" She retorted. "So why do you have the condoms when we aren't even having sex" she pouted.

Adrien sighed and shook his head.

"For the future, Marinette. For the furture. I'm not going to get you pregnant again. Louis is four kids in one." He added.

Marinette continued to glare at him.

"Like that'll ever happen..." She muttered under her breath.

Adrien glared at her as he was able to hear her snide remark.

"Youre funny Marinette." He seethed. "Do you want to have sex now? Since that's all you've been complaining about."

Marinette gasped, her brow furrowing.

"No! I don't want to have sex with you!" Marinette replied sharply.

Adrien groaned.

"Marinette, we're just going around in circles!" He exclaimed.

Marinette turned away, her arms folded and her temples pounding.

Adrien breathed unevenly as she had her back turned to him.

He shifted his weight and breathed evenly

They both stood away from each other in silence as they gathered their thoughts.

"Marinette, I love you. I don't look at anyone else the way I look at you. Your jealousy could be a bit cute sometimes, but lately it's getting out of hand. I'm committed to you, and we have a child together." He murmured softly.

Marinette continued to face the other way, her heart racing at his words.

"All of this fighting is unnecessary..." Adrien continued.

Marinette sighed, letting his words sink in. This was their first serious fight since their son was born, and they both needed to step back and reevaluate things.

She slowly turned around, looking at Adrien.

"I don't mean to annoy you...especially with my jealousy. I'm just...insecure sometimes. Since I had Louis I always get scared that you're going to leave me. You'll get tired of me and Louis." Marinette admitted sheepishly.

Adrien looked at her with wide eyes. He shook his head adamantly and slowly approached her.

Marinette pouted as he placed his hands on her face.

"That will never happen..." He assured in a soft whisper.

Marinette looked up, her eyes connecting with his.

"I'm sorry..." She breathed.

Adrien blinked at her a few times, her apology taking him off guard.

He slowly leaned into a small smile, and rubbed the apples of her cheeks with his thumbs.

"I'm sorry, too." He whispered, and sealed the deal with a firm kiss.

Marinette shivered, her body growing warm each time he touched her.

Her eyes fluttered closed along with his. Her hand touched his on her face, and she leaned into the kiss.

Plagg, who sat on the desk on the far end of the room rolled his eyes as the events in front of him, unfolded and suddenly concluded.

"Oh, please..." He muttered, rolling his eyes.

A/N: So much fluff at the end! Lol, anyway, funeral is Tuesday, so I might update on Friday. I'm not sure.

This chapter is dedicated to FF guest reader, Ash. I've seen you from the very beginning. Thank you, for staying on board!
