Chapter 27
"Marinette?" Asked Adrien, one day not long after his return, "I have a photo shoot this afternoon, would you come with me?"
"Sure!" Squeaked Marinette, surprised but pleased that he invited her. She hadn't been to one since before New York and had almost forgotten that he was a famous model.
"What are you going to do about Louis?" Alya asked.
Luka came up the stairs then, after talking to the workmen, "What about Louis?"
"Adrien asked Marinette to go with him to his photo shoot this afternoon," said Alya "I just wanted to know what they were going to do about Louis."
"I can look after the little guy" Luka volunteered, he usually had him anyway if Marinette or her parents weren't available. It was probably why he thought of Luka as his Dad.
"Thanks Luka," smiled Adrien, he was hoping that Marinette and he would be alone.
They went out together for his job and Marinette was bought in as a second model as she was beautiful and there.
"I forgot how fun this was with you," Adrien smiled at her, wondering why he had left her alone so long when she clearly loved him, and he hadn't stopped loving her.
It was a nice date of sorts between the couple.
That night Adrien slept in the 3rd bedroom, leaving Luka with Marinette as his child expected Luka not him. He was about to fall asleep when he heard a piercing scream from Marinette yelling "Nnnnoooo! ADRIEN No!" Followed by crying.
Adrien rushed to the door and seeing Nino and Alya in their door asked them "Does this happen much?"
"Yes!" Said Ayla "It's been happening every night since you died, she should be fine soon. Luka has it under control. We get up in case, but its been hard."
"Does it wake the baby?"
"No man, I don't know why but that kid sleeps through everything."
"Lucky him," muttered Adrien, finally beginning to see what Marinette was feeling when he died, and feeling a bit of an idiot as he was focusing on the wrong thing. He should have remembered that she loved only him and Luka was like applying a band aid to a deep wound that needed stitching when a Band-Aid was all she had. "I will try."
"Are you going to show up to school for once Adrien?" Alya asked "If you lose to many more days you won't be able to graduate. Even Marinette has managed some days between working, doing her design course and raising a baby fighting grief. But I haven't seen you."
"I honestly forgot and Father didn't hound me, which is unusual for him, thanks for reminding me Alya." Adrien said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Good she's settled" Alya said as she and Nino headed back to their room.
Adrien just stood in his doorway, undecided on what to do, when Luka came up.
"Your turn" was what he said and pushed Adrien towards the stairs, entered the room he was sleeping in and shut the door behind him. Adrien gathered by that Marinette wanted him and as he was there this time, he had to go comfort his wife. So he went.
When he arrived he could hear Marinette sniffling and hiccoughing. His heart went out to his wife and crawled in next to her and wrapped his arms around her. She froze "Don't Luka, you know I don't..."
Adrien didn't let her finish "I'm not Luka." He said holding her tighter.
"Adrien?" Marinette whispered "Is that you?" He could feel the hopefulness in her body, that it was him.
"It's me Marinette. I'm so sorry, I didn't understand what you were like when I died." Adrien apologises, he still wasn't at all pleased by what had happened but he was starting to understand the depth of grief she was in to do such a thing.
"It's ok, I am sorry too." Said Marinette turning over to return his hug. They stayed like this until it was time to get up. They heard a quiet knock on the door, and Adrien went and opened it.
"I'm here for Louis" he said holding a bottle.
Adrien nodded, "Thanks Luka, for everything." Earning him a confused look from Luka but Luka didn't dwell on it as he heard Louis stirring and went to attend the baby's needs while Adrien got himself ready by having a shower. He had to go to school today.
Marinette was ready not long after him and she said "Goodbye" to both Luka and Louis. She tried not to kiss Luka Goodbye but Louis had other ideas "Kiss Daddy Goodbye Mummy."
"Ok Louis," she sighed, "but Luka isn't your Daddy, Adrien is."
"No! Luka!" Screamed the boy.
"Bye baby," she kissed him again settling him down. "Have a good day you two!"
"We will!" Replied Luka waving Goodbye to the four as he walked downstairs to the kitchen to get something to eat.
The four teenagers walked to school. Alya and Nino were holding hands. Marinette wanted to hold Adrien's but she was not sure on what she could or couldn't do. Adrien slipped his hand in hers and smiled "I am glad Alya reminded me about school, I honestly forgot I was just a teenager in school, with everything that had happened."
To which his 2 friends and wife laughed. "It's been a hectic year that's for sure."
The group managed to finish the school year and graduate, surprisingly with honors. Marinette by this stage was showing as it was late in her pregnancy.
Marinette, Adrien and Luka went to her first ultrasound of the baby, when she was 6 months pregnant only to find that she was having twins - a boy and a girl. A picture of the scan was given to them and they put it on the fridge. Marinette probably should have seen a Dr earlier for the regular checks, but it slipped her mind with everything that had happened.
Most of Marinette's friends didn't even know that Adrien wasn't the father of the new babies and Alya, Nino and Luka said not to tell them, as they didn't need to know the trauma Marinette had been through. Adrien was perfectly happy with that decision, but he wasn't happy to give the babies his name- he insisted that they take Luka's name. Though it ended up being a mix.
The pair were born one day after the other by sheer chance. The girl was called Annette Couffaine-Agreste and the boy Lucian Couffaine-Agreste. Surprisingly both children looked like Louis but had Marinette's hair and eyes.
Marinette fed the twins for 6 weeks before swapping to the bottle as she couldn't manage a energetic toddler and two babies while breastfeeding. She was fine once she changed to the bottle.
Louis slept with Luka downstairs and the twins upstairs.
Marinette and Adrien did eventually work things out, and had the church wedding her parents wanted, but it was never quite the same. Their love did mature and they stayed married all their lives. They had a further 2 children Elijah and Emiline (Emma). Alya and Nino were married when they were twenty and had two of their own children - Lillian and Sebastian.
Their kids grew up as cousins even though they were not related.
Luka, started to travel the world and went on several world tours once his children were at school, mainly to escape from seeing the person he loved with Adrian. Louis more often than not went with him eventually they ended up performing together as Louis was extremely musical. Luka's own children thought of Adrien as their father and one followed Adrien's footsteps, the other became a teacher. The other two kids followed Nino and Alya's footsteps - DJ and reporter.
As for Nino and Alya's kids one became a designer like Marinette and the other a chef who ended up taking over Marinette's parents bakery.
