Adrien packed up his gear and headed to his home. He thought about letting himself in but changed his mind. He felt he lost that right when he walked out on her. So, he knocked on the door. Nino answered.

"Welcome home dude. I assume that you are staying?" He greeted Adrien spying his suitcase.

Adrien nodded, looking past Nino, looking for Marinette. Nino getting that Adrien was looking for his wife said in a strained voice "She's upstairs, Dude, with Luka and Louis."

"Thanks Nino," Adrien nodded with a small smile as he looked up the stairs.

"I hope that you do the right thing this time, it's been hell for Marinette. Yeah, what she did was dumb but it worked. Luka isn't a bad guy you know."

"I know," Adrien took his bag up the stairs and put it in Marinette's and his dressing room.

Adrien watched the interaction between Luca, Louis and Marinette.

"Do you think Daddy will be home soon Uncle Luka?" asked Marinette looking at Luka.

"I don't know Mummy" said Luka holding Adrien's son's hand.

"Daddy!" Slobbered Adrien's son on Luka.

"No," Marinette said, correcting her son, "Uncle Luka."

"No, Daddy!" Insisted Adrien's son.

"No, this is Uncle Luca!" Marinette tried again to reason with her son, "Daddy is staying with Grandpa Gabriel, I told you this."

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Insisted his son, that Luka was his father.

It brought tears to Adrien's eyes. He had left his wife and son so long that his son had replaced him with the man he had tasked to watch over them. A cruel job for someone like Luka, who loved his wife as much as he did.

"Hopefully, Daddy will be home soon, so you know your real Dad." Marinette said with a sigh, "Will he come home, Luka?"

Adrien decided to answer the question himself "I am home, Marinette." He said walking into the room.

When Luka saw him he said, "I will go then, is it ok if I crash here for a couple of days till I find a place?"

"Stay Luca" Adrien said "I can't have my child lose the only Dad he has known. I don't see why you can't use the basement to live. Nino only uses a little of its space and we never got around to doing anything with it, unless something has changed while I was gone?"

Marinette shook her head "No, it's still the same. But we have unfortunate news for you. I am afraid that you will go again." And tears started falling down her face.

"What's the news?" Adrien asked, tilting his head in curiosity.

Luka answered "That one night I was with her, the night you were dead, I got Marinette pregnant."

Adrien was quiet. He had been expecting this. He couldn't say anything but he knew that he had a long way to go to earn back Marinette's trust and a even further road to go to get over his own issues over what happened. He didn't want to be the person who leaves his wife when things weren't great, so he stayed, reached over and held her hand.

"Who are you?" His child asked.

"I'm your father," Adrien answered.

"No! You're not! That's my farber!" said Louis pointing to Luka. "Who are you?"

"Well then," said Adrien accepting defeat "Call me Uncle Adrien"

"Unka Abrien?"

"That's right" Adrien smiled at his son "Uncle Adrien."

Marinette and Luka looked at Adrien in amazement, it was like there was a whole new person sitting before them. One willing to try and understand what happened.

"Well, what shall we play little man" Adrien asked.

"Airplanes!" Louis said, "Up! Up away!"

The three laughed and Adrien said "Ok Louis, Aeroplanes it is" and got up off the floor, picked up his son and pretends to fly him all around the room. Eliciting delighted baby laughter from him.

When Louis had enough he said "Stop, Daddy now" and Adrien had to reluctantly hand his son to Luka, who held Louis as if he was his own son. "Ok little man, sleepy time, ok?"

"Ok Daddy," and Luka put him in his cot in the bedroom and sang him a song he wrote Louis. It was cute, happy and catchy perfect for a growing child. Louis was out like a light with a smile on his face.

"Shall we go back downstairs?" Luka asked the pair.

Adrien nodded and left to go downstairs to the lounge. Marinette and Luka followed.

"This is going to be a problem" sighed Luka collapsing on the lounge.

"What is?" Asked Alya coming into the lounge with Nino following behind.

"Louis thinks Luka is his Dad not me" Adrien stated sadly, "I guess I can't be surprised, since I walked out on both him and Marinette a month ago, just as he was starting to notice things. Luka has been here, not me."

"Well that is a problem!" Nino agreed.

"Nino, is it ok if Luka has the basement except for where you already have set up?"

"Yeah, no worries, we'll probably double up on stuff anyway Luca's music and all" said Nino. "By the way Luca where is all your stuff. You said that you gave up your unit awhile ago, but nothing came with you except your clothes in the laundry."

"I stored it in my old room at Mum's, she's been looking after everything. It's probably pissing her off as I said to look after it for a short while. It hasn't been that," he chuckled deprecatingly.

"Did you want to get it now then?" Asked Marinette "There's a bit of time till Louis is up again."

"No, it's ok, I would need a truck for the trip." Indicating that they all only had push bikes. No-one had bothered to get their license out of the 5, mainly because they had been travelling either by miraculous or bike to wherever they needed to go.

"What are we going to do about Louis?" Marinette wondered.

"I don't mind him rooming with me" Luka said.

"That sounds like a good idea Luka, providing you don't mind sharing with Louis." Marinette replied.

"I don't mind, it won't be so lonely then." Said Luka. "We will need to move him down with me."

"Why don't fix the area up first?" Adrian suggests "Its rather rough as  the room has never been renovated or furnished. I can wait, its my fault for getting into this mess."

"No its mine" protested Marinette.

"It's no-ones fault!" vetoed Alya, "What happened happened, stop the blame game it won't help. Anyway, how long will it take to renovate?"

"I don't know, " Adrien said "I'll ask Natalie to send a building constructer to come provide a quote or just start, its up to you Luka."

"I think just start straight away otherwise it'll take too long." Said Luka.

So, Adrien organised a contractor, leaving Luka to choose and sort out the upgrades to his area.
