Adrien glanced down at the black cat stuffie in his hand.
   He smiled, his heart feeling warm at the memory of how much he used to cuddle this thing as a child.

    It was a heartfelt gift from his mother. It meant a lot to him as she made it herself. It was the most important thing in the world to him.

He took this thing with him everywhere. It was right beside him while he slept and it often floated in the tub with him during bath time.

At times, the stuffie did become completely soaked and his mother often had to reattach the arms as Adrien continued to place him into the toilet.
   The toy had began to show its age, but it still held its sentimental value.

   Adrien knew it was time to pass it on. As a father he knew how much something like this would mean to a child.
  If he could, he'd ask Marinette to help him sew it up if Louis decided to bathe with it or throw it into the toilet.

    A small smile graced his lips the moment the model opened the door to his son's bedroom.
Louis was already in bed, Tikki guided his fingers to the mother rabbits on his favorite book.
  Plagg remained asleep on his pillow, he didn't really care for story time.
All he really cared for was sleep and cheese.

    Tikki glanced up at Adrien as he stepped into the bedroom, holding the stuffed black cat toy in his hands.

Louis turned his head, his pacifier falling from his mouth the moment he saw his father.
    He opened his arms, reaching out to his father eagerly.

Adrien chuckled, bending over to lift his toddler in his arms. He sat on the edge of the bed and hugged his son close to him.

   "I have something for you..." Adrien prompted, grabbing the black cat stuffie from underneath his arms and placing it on to Louis' lap.

    Louis smiled, gently grabbing the stuffie from his lap.

   "My mom gave me this when I was your age. She made it for me so I can always have a friend whenever I felt lonely or sad. Everytime I held on to this, I was always able to remember that she was here with me and that she always loved me." Adrien explained.

   "I don't want you to ever forget how much you mean to me, Lou."

   Louis blinked, he looked up at his father and then back down at the toy he was just gifted with.
  The toddler scooped the toy up into his arms and cuddled it with a small smile.
  He nuzzled into the toy with a happy heart. He had a piece of his father with him. The toy already meant the world to him.
    "I know it feels like we're always busy and sometimes me and mommy aren't around. I know it can feel lonely when Plagg and Tikki aren't around either; but everything is going to change. I promise..." the blonde assured.

   Louis hummed sweetly, not exactly sure what his father meant. All that mattered was that he had a new toy! And it was from his father. It couldn't have gotten any better than that.

   "But at least you have something from me for now. Whenever you feel lonely or scared, you can hold this toy." Adrien murmured, leaning forward to press a gentle kiss to his forehead.
   Adrien stood up, placing the toddler back to bed with Tikki and his new toy. He pulled the blanket over his son, tucking him in.

Louis cuddled with his new black cat stuffie and closed his eyes, yawning as it had been a really long day.
  Tikki closed the book, allowing Adrien to take the book and place it back on the shelf.

"Goodnight little guy..." Adrien whispered, giving his son one last kiss before he stood up and hesitantly left the room.

   Marinette sat on the edge of her bed in the master bedroom. She had just finished a shower and tied her hair into a messy bun on the top of her head.
   The blunette climbed into bed, wondering if it was time for a haircut.

   Her blue eyes shifted up the moment she spotted Adrien as he entered the room.
   He smiled at her gently and then very carefully climbed into the bed beside her.

   "You know, I saw you everywhere. I don't think you realize how much you are a part of my life..." Adrien murmured, sliding beneath the blankets and wrapping his arms around his lady.

   Marinette blushed deeply, reaching up to lightly play with his hair.
"You're a huge part of my life too..." she whispered. "I mean...aside from where we are...you've made me a mom. I dont think I could see my life with anyone else at this point..."

    Adrien chuckled, his heart warming at the sound of her voice. His hand slowly reached down, caressing her flat tummy with a small smile
   "Sorry I've unexpectedly made you a mother again..."

   Marinette giggled, leaning more so into him. She was a bit nervous to see how Louis would react to the news of a new sibling but she hoped it wouldn't be too bad.

   Her and Adrien were the only children in their families growing up, so she could imagine how hard it was for either of them to speculate how it would go.

    "I hope this one looks like me. Louis looks almost exactly like you. Almost like you did all the work." Marinette chuckled, nuzzling into him with a small smile.

   Adrien perked a brow, pulling back to look at her with a strange face.
"I did all the work for Louis?" He asked curiously. "So that's why he looks just like me. Makes sense." He teased with a grin before he rested his head back on her chest once more.

  The blunette snorted, attempting to withhold an embarrassed laugh.
   "Well...yeah. You got a little mini you. I'd like to have a mini me. A mini princess that I can have a little girl time with..." Marinette bit her lip, almost wanting to cry at the thought of having a daughter.
   It warmed her heart at the thought of holding both her children in her arms during a bedtime story when they had their little slumber parties.

    Adrien smiled, his eyes remaining closed. He couldn't help himself. He quite liked the idea of having a little daddy's girl. It was without a doubt he'd spoil her rotten like he did with his son.

    "I think...even if it's a boy, I'd love our child no matter what..." he replied in a soft whisper.
  
  Marinette inhaled, the fact that she was pregnant and having another baby finally setting in.
  
   "Do you think we should start talking about names?" She asked, pulling back to look at him curiously.

   Adrien groaned, burying his face in between her breasts stubbornly.
  "Marinette....the baby is still a tiny little....scab. We still have nine more months to think about that." He murmured into her skin.

   Marinette looked down at him with a deadpanned expression.
"This time is different. With Louis we literally waited until last minute to pick out a name. This time around we are actually here...ready to prepare for this child. We're still getting married and this time I think it's best if we come up with names now so we aren't rushing and we don't end up picking an ugly one when I have the baby...."

Marinette shivered.
If this birth was anything like the birth of Louis she wasn't sure if she was prepared to go through that again.
   Marinette had hoped she was lucky enough to grab an epidural this time around.
Bringing Louis into the world was incredibly exhausting and painful.

But a life was a life.
She couldn't imagine her life without her children.
   It was a nerve wracking experience, but if she had to do it all over again again she would.

   "Marinette...?" Adrien mused, his voice very gently pulling Marinette out of her train of thought.

   The blunette relaxed against the bed as she held Adrien in her arms. Adrien gently pulled back to glance up at her, his hands gently running up her sides.
 
   "Yes sweetheart?" Marinette breathed out, her body growing goosebumps in the wake of his fingertips.

   "You still want to marry me, right? That won't change no matter what obstacles we bump into? You know...first with me being oblivious to your pregnancy, the issue with Nathan and than Lila...being as difficult as she was. None of these things scare you away from being with me, right?" He asked, his voice quivering as he was almost nervous of the answer.

   Marinette hummed, her fingers continuing to run through his thick blonde locks.
   "Sometimes, I get that fear that you'll leave me, or that I'm not good enough for you. Especially after the mishap with Nathan I worried that I lost you forever..." her blue eyes connected with his as she almost wanted to cry at the pain they had to go through to get to where they were.
    "It never made sense for you to love me...I couldn't understand why you had chose me out of everyone..." she breathed. "But I want you to know that my feelings for you will never change. I can't wait for the day that I get to walk down the aisle and spend the rest of my life with you..." she reached down, taking Adrien's face into her palm.

    Adrien glanced up at her, his heart swelling at the words she promised him. He felt tears pool at the edges of his eyes.
   They both came such a long way from where they were. They had progressed into so much together. He was ready to spend the rest of his life with her
   He loved her and only her. This was the woman he loved.

    "I love you..." he breathed his hand reaching up to touch hers as it rested on his cheek.

   "I love you too...." Marinette breathed in response, her thumb caressing his cheek. "And that won't ever change. I promise..."

    Adrien breathed out, tears rolling down his cheeks. He leaned up, his lips pressing against her beautiful pink plump lips.

    Marinette inhaled into the kiss. She slowly wrapped her arms around him, holding him close.
   Adrien gently climbed over her, his body pressed flush against hers as the pair sunk into the bed.

  Marinette felt his mouth on hers, their lips parting against one another as the kiss grew deeper into their passion.
    A small desperate whimper escaped his lips the moment her tongue touched his.
   Her lips parted, and she breathed in his breath as his tongue very tenderly slid between her lips.
   She laced her lips around his tongue, keeping him in her mouth to taste him before her tongue very gently slid underneath his.
Adrien slid his hands down the length of her body, his fingers gripping on to her underwear and tugging them.

   "Can I take these off?" He murmured against the kiss.
  
   Marinette giggled softly, lifting her hips so that he could drag her underwear down the length of her legs.
  The model tossed the garment to the side.
  He kneeled up, removing his shirt and throwing it to the side as well.
  Marinette took the opportunity to run her hands down the soft yet firm toned muscles against his chest and stomach.

   "Honestly, we are just too hopeless..." Marinette breathed as she could still taste him on her mouth.
    Adrien leaned forward, gripping on to the sheets as Marinette's hands found their way to his sweatpants.
    "Why do you say that?" Adrien asked, a deep blush coating his cheeks as Marinette successfully removed his sweats and his boxers.

   "We can't keep away from each other. It's like we never learn..." she murmured, her voice quivering as Adrien lowered himself on to her.

    "I guess that makes me some sort of fool..." Adrien replied, his hand slowly brushing down her thighs. The male very gently hiked both her legs up his waist.

   Marinette very gently gripped on to the sheets, her chest rising and falling with each breath she took.

   "T-Thats okay..." her voice stuttered. The helpless bluenette gripped onto the sheets, her knuckles turning white as their bodies very lovingly merged into one.
    "Y-You can be my foolish kitty-" she breathed, her voice wavering off at the feeling of him inside of her body

   Adrien pressed his lips to her neck very tenderly, his brow furrowed at the taut sensation of her body.

  "I think I'd be okay with that..." his hands moved down to her hips, holding her close to him.

    Marinette buried her face into his shoulder, her body warm against his.

The couple held each other, their hands roaming against their bodies as they made love.

    It was an intimate moment, they finally had the time to rediscover one another all over again; and they certainly took their time.

   Adrien would never take his time with her for granted not ever again.

   And for the first time in a long time, everything was finally going to be okay again.
