Marinette's POV

I walked outside and saw Adrien. I couldn't look him in the eyes...Not yet. I want to make sure that the curse is real...

What if it is real and I didn't talk to her? Would I harm my future child, just like how she did to me?

" ...Mari? Did it go well?" Adrien asked me which snapped me out of my thoughts.

" I..." I said.

I couldn't respond to him. My bottom lip quivered as I tried to hold my tears. This caused Adrien to worry.

I'm afraid that he won't take the news well. Most people would be wondering why I'm scared when it's Adrien and he is the most sweetest and understanding person I know, but just like everyone else, he isn't perfect and he can/does lose his temper at times. He apologizes after, but the shock is what scares me.

He walked up to me and gave me a hug. I reciprocated it with my own weak embrace.

" Mari, can you please look at me?" Adrien asked and I tried to look him in the eyes. I felt my tears stream down my cheeks. He wiped my tears off and I looked away once again.

"...Hmm..It must have been really bad if you can't even look me in the eyes...Don't worry Love, take your time and don't force yourself to tell me." Adrien said sincerely.

I nodded, scared to open my mouth to speak.

" Alright Love, let's go home." He said as he kept one of his arms wrapped around my waist and the other dangling on his right side.

I stayed quiet the whole ride home.

Adrien held my hand, trying to comfort me in anyway that he can.

Once we got to our home, I basically ran to my room.

" Mari wait-!"

SLAM

I slammed the door of my room behind me. I need to tell someone about this. I need someone to confide this too, but won't treat me like I'm crazy...Although I probably am...

I grabbed my phone and looked through my contacts. Let's see....

Adrien
Not a choice right now.

Allic
It's his day off today, I don't want to bother him with my madness.

Alix
Alya
I guess I didn't erase their contacts yet...oh well, I keep them, just in case it is needed for school.

Blake
He is also an no go. Blake's a good guy, but he is also known to be a blabber mouth.

Darcy
No...She has a photoshoot today and tomorrow...She also tends to talk really loudly and my room isn't really sound proof.

Chloe
Actually, maybe. Chloe is very direct with her opinions and she also knows how to keep things a secret...well, at least now she does...When we were younger, she spilled a lot people's secrets and caused trouble wherever she went. Especially out classmates.

I scrolled through my contacts, until I saw...

Tikki/Erin
She is a clearheaded person, but she is also down to earth. At times, when it does matter she can be a bit strict. She totally has the mind of a business women.

Maybe I should call them both. I don't think any of them have something to do today...

_________________Time Skip_________________

Both Tikki and Chloe came. At first they were confused of why the other was here, but it got settled down when they saw me.

...I looked like a mess...

" Luci, what's wrong. I know you sounded like you were crying on the phone but this is more than I expected." Chloe said looking at me with worry.

Tikki just walked towards me and sat beside me, rubbing my back in gentle circles.

"...I-I-I..." I choked out through my tears.

" Mares take some deep breaths before you respond." Tikki said gently.

I did as instructed before telling them why I called them over for.

" I called you both over...to tell you what happened today...I decided to talk to my biological mother in prison." I said, trying to make it short.

They both stated silent, a little shocked, but allowed me to continue.

" I used to have memories where my mother used to play with my sister and I before she began to abuse and neglect me...but when I went to ask her why she suddenly changed, she told me what really happened." I said slowly, trying to control my emotions and not burst into tears.

" What happened, Luci?" Chloe asked.

" She always hated me...She never loved me...I made false memories to cope from the neglect I was given as a child by my mother." I said.

Both Tikki and Chloe looked at me with very sad expressions.

" Mares..." Tikki said quietly.

" But that isn't the whole reason why you are here...The other part is the reason why she neglected me and hated me." I said taking another deep breath before continuing.

" You might think I'm crazy when I tell you this, but...she says that it was because of a generational curse."

" A curse? And you believe her?"Chloe said a little bit sarcastically.

" Chloe, let her explain." Tikki stated calmly.

" Fine... You can continue Luci."

" The curse has to do with love. She had me with the man she truly loved and in her family curse, it stated that you will hate the child you birthed with the man you love." I stated and took another breath to continue.

" I don't want to believe it, but I have no choice...I have to make sure it does or doesn't exist. This will be effecting my life with Adrien. If the curse does exist and I end up having a child with him, I'll become just like my mother and hate my child...I can't do that. I wouldn't be able to look at Adrien ever again from the shame that I could have prevented it from ever happening." I finalized.

They looked at me with shock.

" I can see why you were so upset. First she tells you that your good memories with her were a lie and second she tells you she neglected you because of a generational curse that she did not believe, and then you're saying that you don't want to believe the curse, but don't have the right to decide whether or not to believe it when it has to do with yours and Adrien's future... Have you told Adrien, yet?" Tikki summarized and asked.

" I haven't yet...I was too emotional to tell him and you know how he is. He's understanding, but not perfect. He does lose his temper at times and this does effect his future as well..." I said feeling some weight return to my shoulders, dropping them down a little.

" Wow...Luci...You're life is so chaotic..." Chloe said to me.

I nodded my head and frowned.

" Mares, I think you should tell Adrien. If he does lose his temper, call us and we'll straighten him out, right Chloe?" Tikki said.

" Hell yeah!"

" Thank you for this guys...can I tell Adrien now while you are here? Well I still want privacy, but for reassurance, you know?" I asked them.

Both of them nodded their heads.

I gave them both hugs and told them to stay in my room while I talked with Adrien.

I looked for Adrien an found him in his room.

When he saw me my expression dropped to nervousness.

" Adrien...I'm ready to talk about what happened with my mother..." I said.

" Okay...Are you okay, Mari...you look like you're really nervous." Adrien asked me, as he walks towards and held me.

I shook my head trying to shake my nerve off.

" Adrien...I might sound crazy when I tell you this... and you might not believe me-heck, I still don't believe it myself, but I want to to tell you what happened and the possible outcomes first." I said.

He looked at me seriously.

" Mari, before you talk just know I never thought of you as crazy. If you believe something or don't, it is in your right to have your own opinion. Please continue." He stated.

I took a deep breath and continued.

" She answered my questions. I found out that I had memories where she would play with me and my sister...but she never did. They were false memories I made in order to cope with the neglect that she was showing me..." I said sadly...

Adrien looked at me with worry.

" But...She said she neglected me for a reason... She was scared of Baron and also, I was the product of infidelity who she stated that she did it with the man she truly loved." I said.

" How does that excuse what she did to you?" Adrien asked.

" It doesn't. However she never knew that Baron...used me...But also she told me about something else. Something...that may...or may not...be true..." I said slowly.

Adrien looked at me as if to continue.

"...She talked about...She talked about a family curse." I said.

I looked at Adrien to see how he reacted to the news. I haven't finished, but I still want to see how he would react.

" A curse? Can you elaborate on that? What does this 'curse' have to do with her neglecting you? What even is this 'curse'?" He said slightly sarcastic.

I took a deep breath.

" That's how I reacted as well...but I want to make sure that it doesn't exist before I do anything..." I said.

" Mari, explain to me what this 'curse' is about. If it is making you second guess your decisions, then it has to be about something serious..." Adrien asked me.

I took a shaky breath in and then out.

"...The curse has to do with true love....Specifically when you give birth to a child with the person you truly love..." I said, not really finishing it.

" I'm don't understand." Adrien said, confused.

" ....She said that the curse makes you hate the child you have with the person you love whenever you look at them...." I stated.

Adrien coughed.

" That sounds like a terrible excuse for abusing and neglecting you..." Adrien said quietly, but I heard it.

" I also believe that it is a bullshit excuse...but I can't take chances on this, Adrien. If the curse is real, I don't want to harm my child, the way that she harmed me and her mother harmed her." I stated seriously.

Adrien looked at me with an ' Are you kidding me' look.

" Mari...you know I would never judge you, but this...How can you trust her after all that she has done?" Adrien asked.

My eyes watered.

" Adrien...I don't want to believe it, but I have to make sure it isn't real! Remember how you didn't want me to neglect our kids in the future, our family life, because of work?" I asked him with tears in my eyes.

He nodded.

" But Mari, you would never hurt our children-"

" AND WHAT IF I DO, ADRIEN?!" I screamed as I stood up from my seat, tears running furiously down my cheeks.

Adrien looked at me with worry.

"...What if I do?...I wouldn't be able to live with myself, Adrien!...I wouldn't be able to look you in the eyes ever again, just from pure hatred of myself, if I ever lay a malicious hand upon our future child...C-Can you honestly tell me that you would still love me if I did that?..." I said sorrowfully, sobs escaping my lips.

Adrien stated quiet, but looked really upset.

I wiped my eyes as tears began to pour down my face.

" I'm sorry for bursting out like that...I wanted to tell you about this because I want a future with you and don't want to hid anything from you. I want to live by your side for the rest of my life, but I don't want to be the cause of neglect to our child or future children because I decide to not believe that curse was real and it turns out that it's true...Please Adrien...Help me prove that it is or isn't real. I don't wait until it's too late to find out." I stated, finally looking him directly in his eyes.

His eyes were misted over with tears.

I looked away, feeling guilty that I was the one that put that expression on his face.

" Mari look at me." He said while gently tilting my head up to look at him.

"  I don't regret loving you and I don't regret agreeing to marrying you. I meant it when I said I want to spend the rest of my life by your side. I'll help you prove that the curse is or isn't real. If it the curse does exist and we can't have biological children together, that's okay. We'll get through it just like everything else. We can even consider adoption in the future. I know that we would love them as our own, but that's for our future selves to decide. For now, just know that I love you so much and I would never hate you. Thank you for telling me about this, Love." Adrien said with so much sincerity that I couldn't help, but cry in his arms.

" I love you so much Adrien. Thank you for understanding." I said.

Adrien wiped the tears off my face and I buried my face in his chest.

Knock
Knock
" Come in!" Adrien said.

We watched as the door opened and Nathalie walked in.

" Is everything alright in there? I heard screaming and came to check up on you." Nathalie said.

" Everything is alright, we were just having a serious conversation." Adrien said while rubbing my back soothingly.

" Oh, well...I made dinner. This the first time in years...can you please come and try it?" Nathalie said.

I giggled a bit.

" Let's go Adrien. Lets try your Stepmother's food." I stated with a small smile and look at him.

He smiled back at me.

" Okay, Princess." He said and kisses my forehead.

" Let's go." He said and we walked towards the dining room with Nathalie a head of us.

I felt all of the weight ony shoulders completely dissipate.

This is alright.

Everything is alright.
