"You have a goofy face..."

   The bluenette was laying flat against her bed, a small blush dusting her cheeks as Chat Noir hovered above her.
  Marinette bit her lip, reaching up to touch his face.

Chat Noir furrowed his brow, turning his head to capture her digit between his teeth.
"That's not exactly a term of endearment, you know..." the black feline hero said while glancing down at her.

Marinette giggled, looking up at him the moment he began to bite her fingers.
   "What? Its a cute goofy face. You also look silly when you're eating something you like." She hummed, leaning up to press a kiss to Chat's lips. "I haven't actually looked at your face during an orgasm...but I'm sure that looks goofy, too." She teased, leaning up to kiss his lips again.

Chat groaned against her lips, but he was more than happy to kiss back. His lips pressed against hers, and the male leaned down to place a claw in her hair as he followed through with the kiss.
   "You better get used to my goofy face... our son is going to look just like me. Its obvious I did all the work."

Marinette pulled away and rolled her eyes with a cheeky grin.
"Yes...because you carried him for nine months and then pushed him out without an epidural." She poked the bell on his chest. "Last time I remembered, you were too busy in the hallway throwing up...."

Chat contorted his face with disgust at the memory.
It was the after birth. That was the culprit. It was also witnessing the baby squeeze out such a small crevice. There was so much blood and so much screaming.
There were many times where he could still hear Marinette's pained cries of giving life to their son.
She was a warrior, with an ass harder than steel.

  "Yeah? Well...you threw up on me." He replied back, poking his claw into her cheek. "Remember?"

Marinette widened her eyes and she grabbed her pillow, whacking him with it. "NO! I DON'T REMEMBER!" She screeched.

Chat flinched when the pillow hit him. He tucked his head into her belly, nuzzling into her.
"Liar!!" He exclaimed, laughing into her stomach.
Marinette snorted, immediately running her hands through his hair. She didn't want to admit she was quite ticklish.
During the years they both learned more about the other. What antics they habitually grew, their pet peeves, their likes and dislikes. It was truly insane how there was a way they both scratched each other's unusual itches.
Whether it'd be sexually, or just flat out emotionally. Adrien had this keen sense of knowing where Marinette liked to be tentive to, and he did it so well.

   "You can't go anywhere looking like that...." the blunette uttered, her eyes shifting down to look at the black cat who flattened his ears and hid against her belly.
   She tugged at his blonde hair, furrowing her brow as he refused to move.

This damned cat.

She tugged at his hair harder, earning a quiet whimper from the cat.

Chat Noir simply curled more so into her, his tail lightly wrapping around her wrist.  She sighed, plopping her head back on to the pillows underneath her.
"Your dad would be furious if you didn't show..." she sighed, groaning as a part of her didn't want to go herself.

What was wrong with just staying at home? Eating foods, and cuddling up with both her blonde boys while watching a movie sounded like heaven.

"So...Nathalie called today..." Chat murmured, slowly lifting his head to capture her gaze.

Marinette felt a wave of dread wash over her at his information. Usually whenever Gabriel or his staff called in, it was usually because they wanted Adrien to be somewhere, or he did something.
   "And what did she want?" Marinette groaned. "Does your father want you to be somewhere else?"

Chat Noir bit his lip. He shifted himself so that he lay beside her, his arms wrapping around her.

"Acutally....she asked me if we could drop Louis off with my father before we go to the event..."

Marinette widened her eyes, her throat feeling dry but at the same time stuffed.
  She coughed, nearly choking on her spit with a deep blush as Adrien simply glanced over at her curiously.

"Wait...he wants to see Louis? Our Louis? The Louis in which we have birthed and raised? Our son Louis?" She blinked, her head struggling to wrap around what he said.

Chat chuckled, nodding his head.
"I know, right? That's odd. I had trouble struggling to believe it as well." The blonde sighed, stubbornly pulling Marinette closer. "It does feel unfair that he holds his events, but he doesn't ever make a public appearance... he just stays home and leaves me to be a faceclaim. I'd like to think I'm more of his son than some sort of marketing merchandise..."

Marinette frowned.
She truly felt for him. She wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes. She kissed his head softly, hoping that her embrace would somehow be able to permeate properly. She wanted him to feel like he was a human. He was the love of her life, her fiance and the father to her child.

"Well...to me and Louis...you are a person. My parents like you, our friends like you...." she comforted.
"You're not merchandise...and you're certainly not some sort of volture... just sitting around in your home and watching things from afar. It'd be hard to work from home." She blushed.

She couldn't help but to wonder how lonely Gabriel must have been. His only son moved out, and with his wife gone, he probably didn't have many people to work with.

She nuzzled her face into Chat's hair with a grimace. Perhaps that was why he had requested to see Louis.

And in some way, it seemed a little bit bitter sweet.
It was strange....
But it was sweet.
Only Adrien knew the soft spots of his father, and on rare occasions had even experienced a hug or two. Marinette wouldn't have believed Gabriel was nothing more than a robot had she not seen him hug Adrien with her own two eyes on the cat walk while filming on international TV when they were younger.

   "Speaking of Volture..." Chat sighed. "I think I may have one on my hands..." he pressed his lips together, his mind wandering to a certain nuissance at work before wondering if they had some time before they were going to get dressed.

Marinette tensed underneath him, as he was a bit worried that Marinette was suspicious or upset. He furrowed his brow as she began to chuckle a bit.

"Go figure...a cat is afraid of a bird." She snorted.

Chat frowned, his ears flattening against his head completely.

"She's a scary bird...with sharp fingers...and claws rougher than mine..." he hid his face against her. "I just want Lila to go away....far far..away..." he grumbled.

Marinette felt her stomach tie into difficult knots at the sound of Lila's name. Her hand continued to play with his blonde hair, the lines under her eyes deepening with stress.

She really was a volture...

Marinette was well aware of the handful Lila was, so she was empathetic for the most part. She truly felt bad for her love, having to pose and work with her for hours and hours. She could imagine the great suffering.
With Lila tailing down on her future husband, the wedding they had to plan for, the charity event she was attending with no one else she knew and the simple fact that Gabriel had asked to babysit Louis, all of her emotions were all over the place.

Adrien was no less than that. He too was under a mixture of emotions. He wanted nothing more than to curl into Marinette and forget the most of his worries.

   She was just so warm and welcoming, and for a brief moment the kitty felt tired. He could have went for a nap, but they both knew there wasn't enough time for it.

"Don't worry..." Marinette assured, smiling as she squeezed him gently. "I'll protect you from the scary bird. I promise."

Chat grinned, listening to her words as her voice put him as ease almost immediately.
"I love you..." he murmured into her skin. He truly did.

The blunette giggled, wrapping both arms around him in an awkward hug.

   They both jumped at the sound of her phone alarm.
The pair groaned, hesitantly withdrawing from one another. Marinette grabbed her phone to mute the alarm.

"I guess we should get dressed...and get Louis prepared to spend a day with your father." She snorted.

It was still such a funny thought.

Gabriel wanted to see Louis?
   Why the change of heart?
