⚠️SUPER IMPORTANT READ AUTHOR NOTE AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER!⚠️

"Father, I want to marry Marinette Dupain-Cheng."  Adrien informed his father, Gabriel, who took the news surprised.

"Marinette? Wasn't she married and pregnant to Pryor Blanc?" Gabriel questioned his son for an instant. Adrien was also caught by surprise.

How did he know!?

Adrien couldn't keep himself but to ask, "Do you know him?" He asked as his annoyed tone couldn't be held in.

"Yes, he is one of the most prestigious home interiors designer in Paris." Gabriel replied back into his business voice.

"He is also one of the biggest jerks in Paris." Adrien mumbled but loud enough for Gabriel to hear.

"What? Why?" He questioned astonished.

"Pryor cheated on Marinette a couple months ago and she divorced him. By the way Marinette gave birth weeks ago as well." A smile form on his lips as his little kitty came jumping on his mind. Adrien was sure, he couldn't live without Manon nor Marinette and he consider that he already waited long enough.

"Oh I wasn't aware of that... Well, son is your choice to make though I don't recommend you to. Unless you're willing to love her child and maintain Marinette until the baby is old enough." Gabriel didn't want Adrien to marry Marinette. In fact he thought Chloe could give Adrien so much more than Marinette—in money matters of course.

"I'll do what it takes father, thanks for the advice though." With this, Adrien walked out of his father's house and drove to his own where the loves of his life were waiting for him.

After Adrien left, Gabriel started to think Chloe still had a chance if he managed to convince Adrien to not marry Marinette. Little did Gabriel know that Chloe had already begun a life and family of her own.

Well not intentionally...

•At Pryor's house•

"I need to get them back!" Pryor yelled slamming everything off the nightstand. Running his fingers through his hair frustratedly. He sat on end of the bed that he and Marinette used to share. "Why did ever do that! I shouldn't accepted the..." He stopped himself as a hot tears slide down his cheeks.

Pryor collapsed on the bed, letting everything out, regretting what he did. The guilt never left his body after the day Marinette caught him with Chloe.

Ding, Dong

The doorbell echoed through the quiet and big house. Pryor forced himself to stand and get it, cleaning his tears on the way.

He opened the door who revealed Chloe tearing up, "Chloe that's not egoing to work, I told you, we are done." Pryor said coldly closing the door but she stopped him.

" You don't understand Pryor, I am pregnant. And it is yours." Her voice and her hands didn't stopped shaking. Pryor choked on his on saliva as he looked at her puffy eyes. She unzipped the jacket she had on to reveal the months old belly, " I thought I could handle it but I can't, Pryor I need your support.." Chloe cried quietly, looking embarrassed at the floor.

Pryor despise the idea of Chloe begin the mother but he couldn't leave her on her own, it was his mistake to fix also he was decided to not commit the same mistake of letting her go as he did with Marinette.

Chloe and the baby maybe the only thing that could make him happy again.

"Come on in." He replied slipping his hand under hers, dragging her inside. Chloe eyes light up in hope as a smile was plastered on Pryor's face.

It was midnight, Adrien had spent the whole day planing with Alya the proposal. He came through the door quietly not wanting to wake up Manon nor Marinette. For his surprise Marinette was sitting on the couch with one of his shirt on, sweatpants and a messy bun.

Marinette attention was drag by the blond boy who came through door, "You're finally here." She yawned and rubbed her eyes gently.

"My lady, why are you still up so late?" He asked sweetly sitting beside her, sliding his hand around her frame as she pressed her head on his chest. "I couldn't sleep without my stuffed kitty." She lazily wrapped her arms around him.

"Can your kitty bathe first?" Adrien asked stroking the top of her head.

"Yes, I'll wait for you in the bed." She quickly peck his nose and went upstairs.

He smiled warmly as he felt butterflies in his stomach, he was happy since he and Marinette got together. Soon Marinette will be his fiancée then his wife and who knows? Maybe a mother again. Nothing could take away his happiness.

•Le time skip after adrien's bath•

Adrien lay next to Marinette who fell asleep when he got out of the shower. He wrapped his arms around her waist as one of his fingers trailed invisible circles on Marinette's flat stomach.

What did I do to deserve you..

Adrien sigh quietly, kissing her cheek and drifted off to sleep.
