8 months later..

Adrien stood outside the cottage door, listening to Marinette's screams inside. The midwife and Sabine were inside, delivering Marinette's baby. She was crying and yelling. Adrien knawed at his thumb, biting a hangnail.

About a half hour passed. The midwife came out, white as a ghost. Adrien gasped, shook his head and ran inside. He pushed open their bedroom. Marinette lay pale and lifeless on the bed, her hair fanned out over the pillow. The baby cried in her arms. Sabine sat beside her daughter on a stool, weeping.

He started to cry. "M-Marinette?" He asked. His voice cracked. "S-she bled too much. I don't expect her to live through the night" The midwife said. The Baby lay in a white shawl, crying. Marinette's eyes were closed. "No!" He cried. He didn't believe her. This can't be. She can't..

He lay beside her, hugging her. He kissed her cheek. She was so cold. He scooped The baby in her arms. "A baby boy" the midwife said, packing up her things. She left the cottage. Sabine's eyes darted to Adrien. She shook her head and left the room. He could hear her crying in the kitchen.

"H-Hi Hugo" Adrien cried, holding the baby and his family. Why him? What did he do to deserve this? "I love you" He whispered to Marinette. She groaned. He gasped. "Sabine! Sabine! She's waking up" Adrien yelled. The baby wailed more. Marinette eyelashes were glossy with tears.

"Try not to yell" she whispered. He agreed and apologized. "Look! Marinette look. Look at Hugo. Our baby. Look how beautiful he is. That's what you brought into this world" Adrien smiled, kissing her forehead. She opened her bluebell eyes and stared at the baby. Tears flooded down her cheeks.

"No. What we brought  into this world" she whispered. Her throat hurt and her head was hurting badly.  "We're a family now" Adrien said, just as Sabine came running into the bedroom. She hugged and kissed Her daughter. The only remaining family she had left.

2 years Later...
Marinette hugged 2 year old Hugo. His dark Blackberry coloured hair was curled. Adrien kissed her cheek. He stared at his dad with large green jade eyes. "Daddy!" He stared, holding up his arms. He scooped Louis up. Marinette's simple white dress was elegant yet beautiful nonetheless. Her slightly swollen stomach fitted the dress too. Their wedding was small, with only A few of Sabine and Marinette's friends attending.

"You look beautiful sweetheart!" Sabine's friend, Agatha. "Thank you Agatha" Marinette replied sweetly. Adrien wore a simple suit too, even though he was a prince. But nobody knew that. Once away from the small crowd, Adrien patted her small bump. "Hugo's going to be a great big brother" Adrien smiled. He was finally happy. He finally got what he always wanted, a family. People that love him, care for him. Someone who won't kill his own son.

"And then.. After this baby, we'll be having one maybe two more children" Marinette said, booping his nose. He smiled. He loved the girl with all his heart. It didn't matter if they didn't end up in the castle, rich. It didn't matter if they found their own home, smaller than the one that Sabine owned. What mattered is that he had his family.
