Marinette and Adrien had been married a month when the school year ended. Alya and Nino were finally moving in with them.

Adrien found Marinette singing happily in the kitchen and he walked over to give his beautiful wife a hug and kiss good morning. Marinette turned and returned his morning kiss enthusiastically before returning to baking him breakfast and prepare for the party that they had arranged for tomorrow night.

Adrien sat happily down on a bar stool, content to observe his wife as she cooked and sung. Marinette was clearly in her own world as she stirred the ingredients with a spoon, and using that same spoon as a microphone in her favourite bits of the song. She was singing the latest popular song that had just become number one in France. As he listened to her sing, the fond smile he was wearing fell off his face as he realised that the song was all about Marinette. Marinette had never cheated on him, this he was sure of since he had literally been with her everywhere since they were married, so, how could this song be about the very person he treasured?

"Marinette?" He asked, his green eyes raging with jealousy, "Who created that song your singing?"

Marinette, oblivious to his inner turmoil, said "I don't know,  let me look it up... oh! It's Luka Couffaine. Wow! I am so happy for him, he achieved his dream. Adrien..."

Marinette turned around, but Adrien   wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Where did he go? I wonder..." Marinette shrugged, figuring that perhaps he wanted alone time, for the first time since they were married, and went on with her baking. She was feeling particularly good for once.

Adrien, as soon as he heard Luka's name, turned into Chat and hunted him down. He found Luka overlooking the river again, looking sad.

"How did you do it Couffaine?" Chat asked Luka.

"Do what?" Luka asked.

"Don't play dumb with me, Luka!" He snapped in disgust "I know that you have slept with my wife."

"I have never slept with your wife!" Luka said.

"Don't bullshit me Luka...I can tell you have, when did you sleep with her."

"Chat, your wife has never slept with me. If you must know how I know - You. Were. Dead. and the end of the world was happening yet again. I slept with a Marinette then. She didn't want to die a virgin. There's no way she would have slept with me otherwise. It literally took Your Death and the end of the world for her to look at me. There are you happy?"

"No!" Said Chat Noir still angry.

"No?" Luka asked sarcasm evident in his voice, "You literally have ruined my most precious memory of Marinette with your jealousy and its not enough. What more could you possibly want?"

"How many times? How many times did you do it with her?" Chat asked, somewhat afraid of the answer, his voice breaking.

"Once." Replied Luka, knowing that Adrien wouldn't believe him unless he explained further, so he continued, "It was all I was allowed by Dr Strange."

"Once?" Whispered Adrien in relief, he had been afraid that it had been many times, "I won't kill you then." He paused for a while thinking. He abruptly started talking to Luka about what he had been thinking,  "This is going to sound weird now that I have yelled at you about this, but if something happens to me... Could you please look after Marinette and our children?"

"Marinette is pregnant?" Luka deduced by the question, and surprised at the news, if it were true.

"Not that I know of, but it is likely," Chat grinned, happy at the thought of a little Bug Noir.

"Oh ok. I will look after her, should something happen to you and if I still haven't moved on. You do know that I am trying to, hey?" Luka agreed.

"If your like me Luka, you won't be able to." Chat Noir said frankly, "But come visit us, Marinette would love to see you. I promise that I won't get jealous again. She has told me of your agreement. "

"You're cruel Chat Noir, but I will visit,  I would love to see her again." Luka agreed to the invitation.

"We are holding a moving in party tomorrow tonight with our friends, why don't you come?" Chat offered somewhat out of pity, some out of genuine friendship.

"I'll come, where do you live?' Luka agreed.

"Are you telling me that you don't know?" Chat was astonished that he was asking, for he was sure Luka would know, loving Marinette like he did.

"I know, it's just I am not supposed to know." Luka admitted, somewhat ashamed.

"You are exactly like me," Chat said, with a grin bordering on evil, "You can't leave her alone, even when you know she isn't yours. It killed me watching her with you."

"The feeling is mutual," Luka responded, acknowledging his own torment, "but see you tomorrow." Chat Noir headed home then, happy that he now knew how Luka knew about his wife. He also knew Marionette would be in good hands should something happen with him.

When he returned, he was very insistent on making love to his wife repeatedly that day. The next day, all Marinette could do was a weird waddle. For those that knew her would guess that she had been made love too - repeatedly.

Luka, on his part, said to Sass as he watched Chat Noir pole away, "Well that went better than expected. "

"Yes," replied Sass, "But I think he just called you both stalkers."

"Himself too?"

"Himself too." Agreed Sass.

"Wow," smiled Luca at Sass, "I wouldn't have thought that he stalked his own wife."

"Well he is a cat! They stalk the things they like!" Replied Sass, "But it still doesn't explain why you are. Why do you stalk Marinette? You know that it doesn't bring you happiness."

"I don't know Sass, it's like that bug is my home." Replied Luka sadly.

Luka and Bunnyx both knew the identities of Ladybug and Chat Noir from their time with Dr Strange. They were the only ones allowed to keep their memories of that time aside from the bug and cat. The rest only remembered the war as spectators, not superheroes.

The next day, Nino and Alya moved in. Both of their families came to check out their new crib and were suitably awestruck.

Alya's sisters asked Alya, "Why didn't you move when it was offered - it's way better than home."

Alya just said "I didn't want to crimp Adrien's style, you know, it took ages for him to get Marinette out of the friends zone he had stuck her in." She whispered to Marinette, "I also didn't want to see you guys doing the do. Adrien seems pretty possessive of you, you know, now he's finally with you."

Marinette blushed as she couldn't argue the point. Instead she hurried off to finish off cooking for the housewarming party they were holding that night.

Adrien came over to Alya and asked, "What did you say to Marinette to get her so flustered?"

"Wouldn't you like to know Mr sex-all over-the-house?" She joked, causing Adrien to choke. "Relax Adrien, I am joking." but it was too late, Alya had succeeded in making him blush.

"I'm going to help Marinette," he excused himself rapidly, so rapidly that Alya could not help but  wonder if her bad joke was actually true.

Nino watching his fiance came over and hugged her, "What did you say to them that got both so embarrassed like that?"

"I was teasing them about having sex," Alya said, bemused.

"Well, by their reactions, you can be sure they have had it." Nino said.

"Yeah, makes me a little jealous, I thought we would get there before them, ya know?" Alya commented as Nino hugged her from behind as they watched the other couple interracting.

"I know babe, but Adrian was all kinds of fast when he de-friendzoned Marinette. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if those two were married already!" he observed.

"Marinette has never said anything, nor has Adrien for that matter" Alya mused, wanting an answer she followed them to the kitchen. "Hey you two! By any chance are you married?"

"Yes, we are," answered Adrien, somewhat confused by the question, "I thought we told you."

Marinette again blushed, "I was going to tell you but Adrien wanted to get home and we didn't leave again till school started."

"Oh, so that's why you were walking funny after your birthday." observed Alya.

"Yes" Marinette nodded.

"Wait, did you guys marry on Marinette's birthday?" Nino asked, putting a few of the pieces together that they had been offered.

" Yes" Marinette replied.

"Wow," exclaimed Alya to Adrien, "You're like road runner." The conversation faulted then as their friends started to  arrive for the party. Alix, Julika, Rose and Mylenne arrived followed by Chloe and Sabrina. Marinette was at the door letting in Kagami when Luka arrived and greeted Marinette in their  usual way. Adrien just raised his eyebrow at Luka and smiled.

"Dude, are you just going to allow that?" Asked Nino, concerned at the liberty Luka was taking with Marinette.

"Yup, it's just a peck. Mind you, if it were anyone else, they would be dead," Adrien said in a tone of voice that chilled Nino to the bone.

"Why? Dude why?" Nino asked puzzled by the seeming contradiction of values.

"Because that's how he's always been with Marinette." Was all he got, Nino didn't need to know what he asked of him, it was the cruellest thing he could have asked, letting Luka kiss his wife, which was really just a peck on the mouth, was small compensation indeed.

Marinette noticing Luka was carrying his guitar again asked, "Would you play for us Luka?"

Luka looked at Adrien who shook his head. Luka understanding his worry answered "Maybe later." Figuring he could talk to Adrien and let him know he wouldn't sing that song or his other most popular song.

Max, and Kim showed up together. Where upon Chloe started hitting on Kim as he had been infatuated with her in the past and she didn't want to feel left out.

"Did you ever notice Marinette and Adrien, that most of your friends are girls?" Nino asked.

"No, we didn't," answered Adrien, "I guess it just happened that way."

The house-warming party got underway after Adrien officially welcomed them into their home.

Nino piped up, "Thanks Dude, but don't you have some other news to tell?"

Adrien looked confused, "Other news? There's other news?"

Luka realised then that the majority of Adrien and Marinette's friends probably didn't know that they were married. He only found out for sure when Adrien had bailed him up as Chat demanding to know when he had made love to Marinette. Prior to that he only suspected from his stalking. "You know - your other news" Luka said emphasising the other. It was then Adrien figured out what the two were hinting at.

"Oh!" Adrien said smiling, "Marinette, can you come here please?" As she had left to put out more food.

"Huh? Sure thing," she said, as she put down the plate full of food, and went to stand next to him.

Adrien pulled her close, and kissed her cheek, causing his wife to blush. "I am sorry for the late announcement, but Marinette is my wife and has been for a couple of months now."

You could have heard a pin drop then.
