Marinette's POV

"This movie absolutely sucks," I scoff, crossing my arms and rolling my eyes.

"But it's a movie about us, milady?"

I throw my hands up in the air. "Big deal! They can't even draw my nose right! And my hair is not that blue."

Adrien laughs as we cuddle together on our couch, watching the new Ladybug and Chat Noir movie late at night. My finger brushes against his wedding ring on his finger as we continue to watch the film. The city is bustling with life and music from outside our high rise. The smell of chocolate chip cookies in the oven floats throughout the living room. Candles flicker and give off a warm tone.

"Okay, but they made me so annoying!" I snap. "With Ladybug, they made me hate puns with a passion. Like, despise them. And don't get me started on my civilian form! They made me have zero self confidence!"

Adrien adjusts his arm over my shoulder. "They made me severely malnourished because of my "model diet," croissants as my only source of food, and extremely sinful. What's your point?"

I snicker and dig my head into his shoulder. Everything has been perfect ever since our big reveal. I've never been happier. The doorbell rings interrupting my thoughts and we both get up, knowing who's at the door. Adrien opens the door, and two tiny twins coming bursting into the apartment.

"Children, please!" Alya scolds. "We've literally only been her for two seconds."

I laugh and turn around towards my children's rooms. "Luis! Hugo! Emma! Alya and Nino's kids are here!"

Laughter quickly fills our apartment as the tiny group of five run around our apartment, throwing their toys and making spaceship noises. I just softly giggle and look back at the couple entering our apartment.

Nino walks in and slides his arm over Alya's shoulders and kisses her cheek, then looks at Adrien and I.

"How are y'all doing, Dupain-Chengs?" he asks, walking in the door.

"Doing just fine, how bout y'all?"

"I need a drink. Now," Alya growls, with a slight smirk.

Nino, Adrien and I roll our eyes and laugh.

"What?! You try dealing with those two all day!" Alya argues, pointing at her children.

"I deal with three," Adrien shoots back.

Alya laughs and we all gather around the dining table. The adults sit at one table, while the children eat in the living room by the ceiling-tall windows looking out into the dark city of Paris. I pull out the lasagna from the oven, and the whole room increases in temperature. Glasses ding and silverware clink as Alya, Nino, Adrien and I prep the table. Warm sides of green beans, buttered rolls, and fresh salad fill the table.

Eventually, the children calm down and sit down with their paper plates filled and water in their plastic cups, eating away. Adrien and I are the last to sit down. As soon as we sit in the cushioned wooden chairs and pick up our forks and knifes, a familiar sound fills the air.

I groan and slouch in my chair, closing my eyes and pouting. Tikki and Plagg quickly fly out and greet us. Alya just laughs.

"An akuma alarm, right as we sit down to eat?!" I practically shout. "But the lasagna looks so good!"

Adrien stands up, ignoring my comments, and holds his hand out to me, giving me a classic Chat Noir grin. "Ready, milady?"

I nervously look at Nino and Alya.

"Go!" Encourages Alya, flinging her hand to shoo us away.

Nino nods and crosses his arms. "We'll watch the children. Now, go kick some akuma a-"

"NINO!" Alya interrupts, frantically pointing at the kids.

"- butt. Kick akuma butt."

I snicker, then look back at Adrien and grab his hand. "Let's go."

We open the balcony doors, sending cold wind flowing through the apartment and sending curtains flying. I look back at Alya, and she winks. I smile back. Adrien and I say our signature transformation words, and are quickly in our costumes.

And off we go, to fight yet another akuma. I wave to Luka from a concert as I swing through the Paris city, and he smiles and waves back. Chloé tells Chat where the akuma is from her Mayor's office and we both fly towards the destination. Kagami is already on the scene, barricading a section of the city to prevent civilians from being hurt and commanding officers to keep the city safe.

The fight quickly goes by fast. We capture the akuma and send it on it's way, fixing the damage we caused, and eventually Paris continues on with life as if nothing happened.

I turn to Chat Noir and pump my fist out to him with a smile. He returns it, and our knuckles bump.

"Pound it!"

I'm about to swing my yo-yo and prepare to fly back to our apartment, but I'm stopped when Chat Noir grabs my hand.

I turn to face him and smile. "What's up, kitten?"

"Thank you."

I tilt my head and look at him confused. "What do you mean?"

He smiles shyly and looks away. "For everything, milady. For once in my life, I'm completely happy."

I freeze, feeling my cheeks heat up.

He continues. "We've been through thick and thin. There was a time when I was growing emotionless, and another time when I thought I lost you forever from thorns."

I nod.

"But everything is different now. Emma, Louis, and Hugo have made me so happy," He explains, grabbing my hands, "but you're the light of my life. I couldn't imagine a world without you."

I bite my lip and smile.

"Thank you, Marinette, for being a caring mother, a wonderful wife..."

He grabs my chin and our lips are only inches away.

"...and an amazing Ladybug."

He holds me tight and runs his hands through my hair as we kiss.

"I love you, milady."

I giggle.

"I love you too, my chatton."

Thank you so much for reading my book! It makes me so happy that there's people out there who looked forward everyday to reading it!

I'm thinking of my next book (cause i wanna start another book asap) with another AU. maybe where chat noir and ladybug / marinette and adrien hated eachother at the beginning. That would be an interesting book, and I'm a sucker for haters to lovers <3 if you have any AU ideas, please comment because I just might do you idea! Just make sure it's not too complicated;)

[ and NOT vampire / ladyblood related ;))) ]

Once more, you guys are amazing! I always read your comments, your dms, and your texts on the conversations pages. You guys are what have got me to where I was today. So thank you! Thank you so, so much for everything!

I love you all!
