"Why are you out so early?" LadyBeetle asked, not moving from their spot in the alleyway, his heart racing, afraid she might hear it.

"I got in a fight with my parents, why are you?" She asked back.

"I needed some fresh air," he pulled her off the wall, holding her hand and running his thumb over her knuckles. "Do you have anywhere you want to go?"

She shook her head slowly, bringing it slowly up to kiss him again. He kissed her back as Adrien rounded the corner, looking into the alleyway and growling lowly at the sight of his daughter kissing someone, but not just a someone, LadyBeetle. "Emma!" They both. Flinched at Adriens booming voice. She leaned her head against LadyBeetles shoulder, wishing and hopping that they could disappear. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Kissing someone," she muttered, closing her eyes as LadyBeetle squirmed under Adriens glare. "Can you just leave me alone."

"No Emma," Adrien grabbed her arm and dragged her away. "We're going back home and talking." She tried to push away from Adrien but he didn't move, only gripping tighter. She looked back at LadyBeetle and winked, holding her hand up to her ear with her pinkie and thumb out mouthing, 'Call me'.

Adrien stormed into the house, throwing Emma inside and shutting the door before grabbing her arm again and pulling her up to her room, throwing her in and slamming the door, him standing in front of it and glaring at her. "What the hell!" Emma yelled at Adrien. "Why do you have to be such a dick!"

"Why do you have to be so damn defiant!" Adrien yelled above her, booming through the house and making Emma shrink. "All we did was ask a simple yes or no question and you make it about yourself!"

"Of course I did! Having another baby would mean another reason I have to hate myself more!" Emma screamed as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I never asked to be born!" She turned on her heels to her window and pulled it open, Adrien grabbing her arms and pulling her back, Emma fighting against him. "Let me go!"

"No," his voice was soft. "Emma stop fighting."

"Let go of me! Fuck off!"

"Emma!" Adrien shouted, Emma still fighting and scream, clawing and scratching. "I'm not letting you go." His voice turned to a calm, even tone, one he knew would calm her down.

"You already have!" She screamed. "Let go of me!"

"Emma calm down," Adriens voice was soothing but she didn't shut up or calm down. "Emma calm down," he moved his arms to around her and sat on the ground. Emma struggled against him, soon giving in and leaning foreword, Adrien still hugging her as she cried. "You don't need to hate yourself Emma," he whispered in her ear. "You're perfect."

"You didn't want me." Her voice was fragile and shaking.

"Of course I did Emma, I still do," his voice was soft and calming. "I just don't want to loose you again," they fell quiet, Emma bit her lip to stop it from quivering. "I'm sorry I yelled."

"I'm sorry I attacked you." Emma sniffled, both sitting up straight and Emma curling on his lap and resting her head on his shoulder.

"Why don't you invite him over for dinner so I can apologize."

"He's probably going to come over tonight anyway." Emma softly laughed, Adrien holding her while slowly rocking back and forth.

"Emma, I wanted you to be born, I was just young and scared, I wanted you more then anything," Adrien whispered. Emma moved her head to his shoulder, resting it on the other side and looking at the closed door. "I really care about you Sunshine."

LadyBeetle came hours later, Emma sitting on her balcony waiting for him. She smiled as he landed next to her and sat down next to her, Emma cupping his cheeks and kissing him softly. "I missed you too," he laughed. "Did you get in trouble?" Emma nodded hugging him and him hugging her back.

"My parents want you for dinner though," he froze, Emma sitting up and holding his shoulders. "You'll be fine, just, use the front door." He laughed dryly and nodded, jumping off of her balcony and ringing the doorbell. Emma ran to the door and opened it as Adrien and Marinette peered around the corner.

"H-Hi Emma." He stammered. He couldn't form words anymore.

"Mama! Papa! LadyBeetles staying for dinner!" Emma yelled as he walked inside, walking next to her as they walked into the kitchen where Marinette was making Spaghetti. Marinette smiled as she stirred it as Adrien sat on the counter, trying to grab a few strands when Marinette brought the spoon up.

"Okay Moonbeam." Marinette smiled as she laid out plates for them all.

˚ºTwo Hours Laterº˚

Emma sighed as LadyBeetle and her lied on the floor of her room, music softly playing in their ears as they stared at each other. "Sorry about dinner."

"They're worried. I understood why they asked so many questions." LadyBeetle chuckled softly, gently pulling Emmas hair out of her face.

"But they asked your identity, and..."

"And you're not ready. I know." LadyBeetle sighed, sitting up, Emma following and staring at him as he bit his lip.

"I want to know, I do but I'm just scared, of what you'll think of me."

LadyBeetle blinked as he looked at Emma. Adrien and Marinette had their ears pressed to her door ever since dinner ended. "Think of you? What do you mean?"

Emma bit her lip as she twisted the ring on her finger, holding her hand up for him to see. "Does this look familiar?" She pointed to the ring, his eyes squinting at it then widening as he looked at her.

"Chat," Emma nodded, slowly biting down harder on her lip. "Emma, can I show you who I am?"

"You're not-"

"I couldn't be disappointed it was you, you're like, the most perfect girl I know, in and out of costume." Emma giggled, pressing her lips against his cheek.

"You can show me," he blushed and nodded, saying his small phrase and a pink light overcoming his body. Emma closed her eyes for a moment, biting her lip as she opened her eyes. "Thomas..."

"Yeah," he sighed, Tikki and Plagg flying off to her bed. "Sorr-" Emma leaned over, pressing her lips against his and cutting him off. He held Emma close by the belt loops of her jeans as she sat on his lap, Emmas fingers in tangles in his hair.

Emma pulled away as Thomas licked Emmas lips, pressing her finger against his lips, pulling her hair to the left side of her head with her other hand. "Aren't you eager Princely."

"S-Sorry. M-My first kiss was in the alley so..." His voice trailed as Emma giggled, kissing him again then pulling away.

"You should get home before my parents think we did it." Emma giggled softly as Thomas nodded, transforming and hopping to her window.

"Will I see you again?" He asked as she opened her window.

"At school tomorrow, and you have my number," Emma giggled as she kissed his cheek. "Now go, stupid beetle."

Thomas kissed her cheek. "See you at school." And he was gone in the night.
