So...this is what Marionette looks like now... She isn't showing, but I'm doing a picture for every 2 weeks that pass. So...next chapter will be 4 weeks. Then 6 weeks. Then 8 weeks. Then -

Well, you get the point. Enjoy!

Adrien's POV

I was extremely worried for Marinette. She had been puking a lot lately. I had to get her to Hotel Dieu Hospital as soon as possible.

I wasn't even with her yet, though. I was waiting for her to come down for school. Telling her not to come to school didn't help anything. She insisted that she should still go. I did not agree with her. She seemed too sick.

Marinette opened the door to the bakery and stepped out. We got in the limo and drove to school. Once we arrived, I took Mari's hand and we walked into François Dupont.

When we were almost to the locker room, I turned Mari to face me. She looked a little confused.

"What?" she asked.

"I'm taking you to the hospital," I replied simply.

"No! I'm fine!" Mari protested.

"No, you aren't, Mari. You've been puking for two weeks. Two. You're coming with me whether you like it or not," I declared.

"...Fine," she finally said.

"I'm going to take you as Chat Noir, so we need to leave the school in order for this to work," I explained.

"I need to go do my daily puking first," Mari said, looking like she was gonna puke any second.

"Go!" I told her. She ran off to the bathroom and came back a few minutes later with a not-so-happy face. We left the building and went to an empty alley way.

"I really don't want to go to the hospital, but if it means I can stop puking soon...well hopefully...then I will do it," Mari said.

"Good. Are you ready?" I asked.

"As I'll ever be," she replied.

"Plagg, claws out!" I chanted. A bright green light engulfed me. It disappeared to reveal my black cat themed suit.

Mari looked at me in awe. I guess it looked pretty cool when I transformed. Then she looked at me expectantly.

"Are we gonna go?" she asked.

"Oh! Yeah," I replied. I scooped up the midnight haired girl and took her to the hospital. I detransformed in an alley way near the hospital. We went inside and waited for our turn.

When we finally got a room, the doctor started to ask questions.

"I'm Dr. Zientek. What seems to be the problem?" she asked.

"Well, Marinette has been puking every day for the last two weeks. We aren't sure what's wrong," I explained.

"I see. Right this way, Marinette," she told Mari. Then she turned to me. "You can just wait outside and I'll tell you what you need to know after I give her a quick check-up."

I walked out of the room and waited for what seemed like hours, though it was only about fifteen minutes.

Dr. Zientek came back out and told me that I could come back into the room. She had a faint smile on her face. I took that as a good sign.

I entered the room to find Mari lying on the hospital bed. She had an eager expression on her face. I guessed that that meant that she hadn't found out what was going on with her.

"So... Marinette is sick...in a way. It is not anything serious. In fact, this is totally normal for her...condition..." Dr. Zientek explained. I was confused by this.

"Normal? Her condition? What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well...she is expecting..." she replied. It took a minute for me to process what she was saying. Expecting? Expecting what?

Then it dawned on me. Marinette was pregnant. My eyes widened and I could feel a blush creeping onto my cheeks. I glanced at Mari who was also a tomato.

Her expression was hard to read. She looked shocked, embarrassed, mad, sad, overjoyed, confused, and excited all at the same time. I wasn't sure how she could show so many different emotions all at once, but she did. That was for sure. But the one that stood out the most was confusion. It was practically written across her forehead.

I wasn't sure what to think of our current situation. My emotions sort of mirrored Mari's...except for one. Sadness. I wasn't sad at all. I didn't know why Mari was sad, but I could save that question for later. There were more important things to talk about at the moment.

"I...uh..." Mari started. "So...you mean I'm...pregnant?"

"Yes, sweetie. You're pregnant. I'm guessing you didn't know about this before, so would you like me to call your parents and inform them of your current status?" Dr. Zientek asked.

"Uh...no thank you...I'll tell them when I'm ready," Mari replied.

"Who is the father?" Dr. Zientek asked. I slowly raised my hand.

"I-I am," I stuttered. I wasn't sure why I was so scared to admit it. I wasn't in my superhero form at the moment, so why would I have to be scared? Oh yeah, that's right. I'm afraid of what my father will do to me or worse, Mari.

"Was this an accident?" Dr. Zientek asked. I opened my mouth to answer, but Mari beat me to it.

"Yes," she replied.

"Did you use a...condom?" Dr. Zientek asked. My mind traveled back to that night. Time stopped when I realized that we didn't use a condom. I just stared at Dr. Zientec. Mari did too.

"Uh... I... Um... We... Euh... Well... Er... Oops?" I meant it as a sentence, (Can you even call that a sentence, Adrien?) but it came out as question.

"I'm gonna say that's a no," Dr. Zientek decided. The rest of the time we were at the hospital, time seemed to speed up and before we knew it, we were walking to Mari's house so she could tell her parents. I decided to come with her so she wouldn't be alone. I wished I hadn't agreed as we were about to open the door. A wave of fear washed over me as I remembered that I was the dad and that I was talking to the parents of the mom. I was supposed to be invited and not just invite myself to meet her parents.

Yep. Great plan, Adrien. Great plan.

We opened the bakery door and Mari led me to the house part of the building. We walked into the living room and boy was I scared for this conversation.

"Mom... Dad... I have something to tell you..." Mari said.
