Sorry about any spelling mistakes!
Anyways, enjoy reading this in 2022
Sooooo hilarious wow (gosh I apologize that was a really bad joke, I can't even be funny)
"I told you it was a horrible idea." The little black cat whispered to his owner who just gave the kwami a death stare.
"It's not my fault father has some tracking device in his head."
"But it is your fault that you ran away to your dumb cousin who is some weird creepy drug dealer!"
"He is NOT a drug dealer!"
"He could be...have you seen that so called 'club' and his poor girlfriend, gosh she deserves someone muchhhhh better."
"Well I-..." Adrien struggled to find the right words, so with a depressed sigh he sat down on his bed all grumpy and emotional "...I can't help it. I hate it here! I'd rather be with Felix than Father and that stupid-"
"Adrien! It's time to wake up." Nathalie walked in, and teenager immediately shut up as he ran downstairs to the kitchen.
Of course the assistant found it a little weird but since she had heard the whole conversation she wasn't really surprised by Adrien's actions. The only thing she was stunned to see was that the kid had been all alone in his bedroom but earlier just a few seconds ago he was talking to someone.
Anyway, Nathalie shook her head thinking it was probably just a little misunderstanding and Adrien actually only talked to himself.
So she also walked down to the kitchen, but by that time the child was already out the door and running so that he wouldn't be late for school.
Nathalie sighed as she made her way to the office where she found Gabriel working like usual.
"You have an appointment at 2 this afternoon," said the designer as he looked up and saw the confused expression on his assistant's face. "...for the...baby." He added.
"Oh right." She nodded taking a seat at her own desk a little uncomfortable though.
Nathalie wasn't exactly looking forward to 'the appointment' since she'd never liked the doctor, even when she was just a little kid that hospital place always intimidated her.
And right now since she was in such a weird situation the assistant was even more scared than usual.
What if the doctor would give her weird looks or even start judging her.
Nathalie was imagining the worst case scenarios so vividly that she didn't even react when her boss spoke from right behind her.
"If you want I could come along." Gabriel whispered but the young woman was deeply lost in her thoughts, so he had to speak louder "...Nathalie!"
"Y-yes!" She jumped anxiously "w-what?"
"Would you like me to join you?"
"T-to the doctor's?"
"Yes, I mean only if you feel comfortable with having me there, I completely understand if you-"
"I'd like that, to be with you."
"O-okay." He smiled and Nathalie did the exact same.
They almost got a little carried away whilst looking into each other's deep blue eyes but then the phone rang and disturbed their cute little moment.
With a disappointed glare the assistant looked away and answered the call:
"Hello? Nathalie speaking, Mr Agreste's assistant. What can I help you with?"
...
After some hours of working it was finally time to stop. Gabriel got up first and then reminded his assistant about her appointment.
She just smiled awkwardly and then went to get dressed in something more casual which was not her usual work attire.
All she could find though was some basic designs of her boss he had never used because they were considered as 'fails'. But Nathalie liked them anyway. At least they were comfortable and not something too fancy.
So then after getting ready she waited for Gabriel, and once he arrived they drove to the 'trusted doctor's' place.
Nathalie was a little...no...VERY nervous so whilst her superior drove she anxiously fidgeted with the sleeve of her shirt.
Naturally the designer noticed her strange behavior and he even spotted what she was wearing so to ease her stress he commented:
"Nice outfit Miss."
"O-oh this...yeah...you made it."
"I know, and it looks especially good on you."
"T-thank you."
She smiled a little before turning away which left Gabriel worried.
He had to make sure that she was ok so without wasting a second longer he placed his hand on top of hers an whispered:
"Nathalie...are you okay?"
"Y-ye-yeah...just a little nervous."
"I understand, but it will be fine, trust me. Well actually don't trust me, trust the doctor, I don't know shit..." Gabriel laughed as he tried to make her feel better but Nathalie couldn't even force a smile onto her face now.
She just nodded and gave his hand a gentle squeeze which slightly reassured the designer that she was 'fine' and there was no need to worry.
(But knowing Gabriel he probably worried himself to death already)
...
Once they'd arrived at the 'trusted doctor's' office the lady smiled at both Gabriel and Nathalie.
"Mr Agreste! I'm glad to see you again and..."
"Nathalie."
"Nathalie! Are you the lucky one?"
"WHAAAAT NO!!!" The designer almost yelled but he managed to hold himself back and instead made it sound like a weird laugh "...She well-...first of all it's not my child, second we-I MEAN HER...she doesn't want the child."
"R-right..."
"And so...since you're really the only doctor I know could you help us-I MEAN HER with this 'issue'?"
"I-...I can definitely help. But are you sure honey?" The doctor turned to Nathalie "...I mean knowing Mr Agreste he loves kids and would definitely-"
"Yeah no I'm sure Nathalie wants to get rid of it." Gabriel laughed again, even more weirdly this time. "...Plus we're only friends and I'm just trying to help."
"A-alright, f-friends right...just two friends coming to abort a baby."
"Look desperate times require desperate measures."
"Whatever" the lady rolled her eyes "...next thing I know you guys are coming back here in a month time with your own baby." She giggled but seeing the horrified look on both of the adult's faces she eventually shut up. "...I'm kidding I know about Emilie. Oh poor thing."
"Yeah okay so can you get rid of it or not!?!"
"Yes I can Gabriel, calm down."
And with that the doctor gestured Nathalie to sit down, so she did.
Of course the assistant got extremely nervous and scared but at least her superior was there...right?
Well Gabriel wasn't much of a help as he kept his eyes focused in the complete other direction than Nathalie and only ever chatted with the doctor.
The lady eventually noticed the extreme space between these two 'friends' so she decided to do something about it.
"Gabriel would you care to maybe do something other than act like a child?"
"I-..." the designer awkwardly turned around "...what can 'I' do?" He shyly asked before taking a few steps closer to where Nathalie lied but still making sure that his eyes wouldn't even go close to her figure.
"Maybe do something a supportive 'friend' would do." The doctor suggested with a hidden smirk.
"Umm, right...is everything okay Nathalie?"
"Yep...I'm fine." The assistant dryly responded and with that their conversation ended.
The doctor didn't like this and she only shook her head disapprovingly.
"Did you know Nathalie that your boss is actually secretly obsessed with babies?..." The lady laughed to which Gabriel wanted to object but she just cut him off before the designer could've even began to speak "...you should really see him around some. He would literally turn into a toddler himself, if he doesn't already act like one."
Now Nathalie smiled as she imagined Gabriel around a bunch of babies, well apparently it would be hilarious but all she knew was that he wasn't a great father so this new fact about her boss really surprised the assistant, a lot.
"I didn't know that Sir..." She turned to face the grey haired man who just vigorously shook his head
"I-It's not true! Don't believe her Nathalie!"
"Right, believe me Nath he is obsessed. You might have not seen it but he made miniature custom dresses for his little girl-"
"ENOUGH!" Gabriel yelled and everyone immediately shut up.
Nathalie's mind was a little confused since the doctor mentioned a little girl but Gabriel only had a son.
She looked at her boss but his troubled and worried expression didn't answer anything, so the assistant just assumed that the doctor was meant to say little boy, but still, she was talking about miniature dresses and-
"Well...you're all done...you can go now." Said the doctor to which Nathalie stayed still for a moment before Gabriel walked near her and offered a hand to help.
She was a bit afraid of him at the moment but the assistant still grabbed onto his arms the second she got the chance to do so.
Then after he helped her put on her coat and without wasting much time the designer said his goodbyes, paid the doctor and left.
As they were walking back to the car Nathalie thought to ask him a couple of questions but seeing how tense and stressed he looked she decided to wait until later
...
Once they'd made it home the assistant got the rest of the day off so she wouldn't have to do anything and instead she could just rest.
Of course Nathalie did love this idea but then out of nowhere Martin called.
She couldn't decline because she knew he'd be insanely worried, so with an annoyed sigh the young woman answered her phone.
"Yes hello."
"Nathalie! Are you okay?? I've been calling you since forever and you never picked up! W-what happened?!"
The assistant stayed quiet for a bit as she tried to think of an excuse but she knew she definitely couldn't tell him the truth.
"Well I-...I'm fine, there were just some urgent things that needed to be taken care of here in the office."
"Right, so can I maybe come over and take you home? Or would you like to stay at Gabriel's?" He hissed the last sentence with utter hatred, and although Nathalie knew he would be mad if she said she wanted to stay she still decided to tell him her honest answer.
"I want to stay..." The young woman cleared her throat "...Mr Agreste still needs some help and I-"
"Help, right I bet. Whatever have fun."
Martin sighed disappointedly as he hung up leaving Nathalie feeling guilt.
Of course instantly Gabriel noticed his assistant's miserable expression so without hesitation he walked closer to her and laid his arms around her waist, pulling Nathalie closer as he did so. "You want to stay?"
"Y-yeah...or am I bothering you?"
"Not at all, I just-...well I thought you'd like to spend more time with Martin."
"Not right now. He would just be talking about how bad he wants a family and kids whilst looking at me...WE ARENT EVEN TOGETHER! This man! I swear he drives me crazy, but I do like him it's just-"
"I get it, but I wouldn't have thought I'm much better."
"Well...at least you can stay quiet for a little while..." The assistant giggled as she broke away from his arms and instead turned around so she could fully face her boss. "Oh and sir...about what the doctor said..."
"Your medication?"
"No...about you...she mentioned-"
"We don't talk about that!" The designer almost yelled, but then he just cleared his throat and started over with his sentence "...I wouldn't like to talk about whatever she said. So just forget it Nath and act like you'd never heard anything!"
To be continued-
This chapter was a struggle so I apologize again for how bad it got.
But otherwise happy new year!
