-MARINETTE-

Marinette shoved a piece of chocolate into her mouth feverishly. She wiped her lips with the back of her hand.

It had been a few days since she's been released from the hospital along with her healthy baby boy.

There was no sign of smoke girl, despite of how many times her and Chat Noir waited.

They didn't give up just yet though.

Marinette held Louis in one of her arms, as she stuffed another piece of chocolate into her mouth aimlessly.

Louis, squirmed and then calmed as she began to bounce him carefully.

It had been a sunny day, and the air was breezy, but with warm winds.

Marinette carefully climbed down the stairs to meet her mother in the kitchen.

"Thank you so much, mom. I really do appreciate this." Marinette said thoughtfully as she handed the baby over to her mother.

Sabine took the child with a small smile. Louis only opened his eyes briefly, before he closed them again.

"There's my beautiful baby." Sabine cooed as she bounced the baby softly.

Marinette smiled as she turned slowly.

"Be back in time, Marinette. Please don't take too long." Sabine said firmly as she carried the fussing baby into the living room.

Sabine swished a pacifier In his mouth, which quieted him down quickly.

Marinette nodded thoughtfully before she walked out of the apartment. She closed the door and rushed down the stairs.

Her mother was under the impression that her and Adrien were going on a simple date. She explained that it had been awhile since they had time to spend with one another since she got pregnant.

She stepped outside, smiling as the sun touched her skin.

Tikki slowly emerged from her jacket.

"Are you ready to go?" She asked.

Marinette nodded, her back not hurting for once.

"Yes." She whispered as she slowly walked down the sidewalk.

She slipped into an alleyway.

"Tikki. Transform me!"

After her transformation, Marinette flung her yoyo on a lamppost and swung herself up on a building.

With a grin, Marinette giggled with excitement as she landed on another rooftop.

Her and Chat Noir both agreed on meeting by the Eiffel tower.

She had never had so much fun getting to a mission before.

She had so much agility and flexibility and she missed it dearly.

She swiftly landed on a building a few feet away from the tower.

She smiled as the warm wind blew in her hair.

"You seem lively." Chat grunted as he landed on the rooftop behind her.

Ladybug looked at Chat with a grin.

"It feels so good to be out again." Ladybug whispered as she twirled ecstaticly.

Chat chuckled, his arms slipping around her waist, as he aided her twirl and dipped her.

Ladybug looked up at him, her hands on his shoulders.

He gave her a playful wink, and she blushed.

"Why are you suddenly so charming?" She snickered.

Usually, this kind of display of affection would have annoyed Marinette, but for some reason, she felt it was charming.

Chat chuckled as he aided her back on her feet.

"Maybe, that's because you like me." Chat teased, his brows wriggling.

Marinette snorted.

"I think you like me, more." She retorted with a grin.

Chat shook his head.

"Nah, no way." He teased as he rested his hands on her hips, giving her a firm kiss on the lips.

Ladybug widened her eyes and pulled away.

Chat raised a brow.

"Don't I get a kiss?" He asked.

Ladybug giggled and shook her head as she rested her hands on his chest.

"Not so suddenly..." She whispered shyly.

Chat smiled at her before he leaned down and gave her a softer kiss.

Ladybug closed her eyes as she kissed back, her lips pressed against his firmly three times simultaneously with his, before she pulled away.

Chat laughed softly.

"Is this a thing now? The whole three kiss thing? We should make that our special kiss." He winked playfully.

His brow suddenly raised as he pressed his lips together.

"Chocolate? And you didn't share?" He mused, his lips smacking together.

Ladybug sighed, rolling her eyes and slipping out from his grasp, a small giggle leaving her lips softly..

"Did smoke girl appear yet?" She asked curiously.

Chat shook his head.

"Apparently not." He sighed.

"I thought this was supposed to be an easy one." Chat admitted sheepishly.

Ladybug shook her head slowly, while folding her arms.

"I guess we should wait around for a little bit." Ladybug said thoughtfully.

Chat nodded, he felt a little nervous whenever he was around her.

"Do you think it will work?" Ladybug asked, curiously.

Chat looked at her.

"I don't see why not..." Chat replied thoughtfully.

Ladybug rubbed her chin, and hummed.

"You said she draws from... Negative energy, right?" Ladybug asked.

Chat raised a brow.

"Yes..."

Ladybug looked at him.

"Wouldn't she sense that you aren't... Emanating that sadness anymore, now that we had our baby and we are back together?" Ladybug asked, her voice etching with worry.

Chat pressed his lips together and nodded.

Ladybug and him both looked at each other.

"I...could think of things that make me sad? Or worried?" Chat suggested.

"Just to lure her in."

Ladybug looked at Chat.

"We could give that a shot." Ladybug sighed.

"Then we could bring Chloé back when we find the akuma." She added.

Chat shuddered at the thought of Chloé.

Ladybug looked at Chat.

"Was she bad?" Ladybug asked, almost afraid to know the answer.

Chat chuckled, his head nodded with disappointment.

"She's just the same old Chloé... Just more fidgety and ten times more annoying." He sighed.

Ladybug laughed softly.

"Either way we're losing." Ladybug sighed.

Chat nodded with an apologetic look.

Chat and ladybug remained quiet for some time.

Minutes had passed and there was still nothing.

Ladybug shifted as she tapped her foot impatiently.

She sighed with worry.

Chat looked at her questionably.

"Ladybug? You seemed worried..." His voice trailed.

Ladybug nodded sheepishly.

"Just worried and a bit antsy." She admitted shyly.

Chat gave her a strange look.

"Is it Louis?" He asked curiously.

Ladybug looked at him with an apologetic look.

"I don't want to take too long... Louis is up for another feeding in an hour." Ladybug explained.

Chat folded his arms as his eyes traveled down to her chest.

"Oh? So you're a walking bottle?" He asked, teasingly.

Ladybug shuddered and whipped her head towards him.

"I am not! It's only for a little while...before...I start...pumping." She gulped, her cheeks flushing a deep red.

Chat raised a brow. He wanted to twist a dirty pun from her words but decided not to. He could tell she was already suffering enough.

She seemed incredibly embarrassed at the fact that she had to explain a breast bump to her crush, her boyfriend, AND the father of her child.

Chat smiled at her.

"If it's any consolation... I'm actually pretty lucky I got someone like you to become the mother of my child." Chat said softly.

Ladybug looked at him, her blush still pulsating against her cheeks.

"Stop...you're being inappropriate." Ladybug chuckled nervously.

Chat simply smiled.

Ladybug smiled back, it soon faded as she felt trembling from beneath her.

Immediately her heart started to pound harder.

"Go!" Ladybug instructed.

"She's there." She hissed as she hid behind the chimney.

Chat nodded, immediately extending his stick and climbing on the edge.

In a swift motion, Chat rolled onto the ground and ran towards the tower as fast as he could.

Ladybug stayed put.

Chat leaned against the tower as the ground shook, the civilians who knew what that usually meant, made a run for it.

A black mass suddenly appeared, and the girl appeared in front of him.

Her eyes continued to remain black as her figure slowly took its shape.

She looked at Chat, her arms folded.

"Chat Noir..." She spoke, her voice trailing off.

Adrien gulped, his own soul shuddering under his mask, as he started to change his mind away from the love he had with his family at home.

He allowed his mind to revert back towards his father, towards Nathalie, towards his mother.

He bottled the loneliness he's ever felt since his childhood.

Adrien hadn't felt more depressed in his life.

Smoke girl seemed to detect this as her brow raised.

She slowly approached him.

"I see..." She whispered, her hand touching his face.

Chat wanted to recoil immediately, but fought against the urge.

He kind of felt bad that he was tricking her, but he was determined to save her, whoever she was.

Chat swallowed hard, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

The girl looked up at him.

"Why'd you leave, Chat Noir?" She asked curiously.

Chat swallowed hard and continued to look at her.

"I was...scared...and overwhelmed." He answered truthfully.

"I wasn't sure what you wanted me for..."

Ladybug carefully lowered herself on to the ground. She slowly rolled herself across the pavement before hiding against the far end of the monument.

Chat shivered as smoke girl, touched his face.

Ladybug clenched her fists, attempting to gather away all of her jealousy.

The girl leaned closer as if she was about to kiss him, but froze, just before their lips touched.

She slowly pulled away and looked around.

"What's this?" She asked.

Chat swallowed hard.

"What's what?" He asked nervously.

Her brow furrowed as she was able to pick up Marinette's unrestrained jealousy.

Her fists balled as a black mass swarmed around her.

She whisked around, throwing her fiery punch towards a hiding ladybug.

Ladybug immediately dodged it.

Chat only tightened his grip around her, which she looked at him.

"I should've known!" She screeched as she punched him in the gut, the force so strong it knocked the wind out of him.

She gripped him by his neck and threw him.

Ladybug watched as the smoke girl looked at her with sheer anger boiling in her eyes.

She paused slightly as she noticed something was different.

"So you've got rid of that thing. It's about time." She said spitefully.

Ladybug chuckled and shook her head.

"I know what you're up to, and it's not going to work." Ladybug spoke.

The girl continued to glare at ladybug, her fists shaking with anger.

"Rahh!" She hissed as she threw her solid black masses at ladybug.

Ladybug swung her yoyo, the pace building a shield and blocking off her attack.

The girl lunged at ladybug which she dodged, her agility more adamant than usual.

Ladybug felt a rush of adrenaline pump through her veins.

Ladybug threw a punch but was dodged out too.

Ladybug lifted her leg, throwing a side kick.

The smoke girl took a swing at her side.

Ladybug flipped and jumped on her back, using her as leverage to jump on to the tower.

Ladybug looked down as the girl toppled over.

Chat jumped over her attempting to pin her down.

She looked up at him, her eyes completely black.

She brought her leg up, and kicked him, which he immediately recoiled from.

He flipped and landed on his feet.

Before ladybug could comprehend, the two were both at a stale mate fight.

The two of them blocking off each others attacks.

Chat Noir used his stick as a barrier, which blocked off the smoke attacks she threw at him.

Ladybug threw her lucky charm, only to be surprised as a butter knife ended up in her hands.

She shook her head, immediately looking around for clues.

The smoke girl had Chat backed up against the wall.

Then she looked at him with a grin.

Ladybug immediately jumped from one end of the monument to the other end.

She threw her yoyo, and wrapped it around the girl.

Chat grinned, as the girl didn't comprehend what was happening just yet.

Chat reached over and ripped open her shirt, revealing the brooch between her breasts.

He extended his stick, and pushed it against her feet and tripping her.

She fell hard against the ground with a thud.

She immediately squirmed in the wire.

"Ladybug, QUICK! BEFORE SHE BREAKS THROUGH!" He called out.

Ladybug immediately jumped, her stride elongated just enough to glide over the girl.

The wire dragged smoke girl to the center.

Ladybug threw the butter knife head on.

Smoke girl gasped as the wires tightened around her, pinning her arms to her sides.

With a swift moment the butter knife pierced straight into the brooch.

It cracked, a huge mass escaping from it.

Smoke girl screamed violently as ladybug finally captured the akuma that fluttered out of the brooch.

"Got ya!" She spoke softly.

With a grin, she released the butterfly.

Ladybug grabbed the butter knife and threw it into the sky, finally relieved as it restored everything back to normal.

As expected Chloé appeared a few miles ahead of them.

She looked around, her face completely dazed.

She seemed pretty normal.

Chat looked at ladybug.

"Is this finally over?" Chat asked, his breathing slightly heavy.

Both ladybug and Chat Noir felt at ease knowing that their son as well as Chloé was safe.

Ladybug nodded.

"Its over..."

Chat and ladybug both watched as the purple mass faded over smoke girl revealing her real identity.

Chat's eyes widened.

Sabrina?!

He had been kissing Sabrina this whole time?!

Chat looked at Ladybug with panic, which she responded with hysterical laughter.

Sabrina sat up, her brooch in front of her.

"W-what's going on?" She asked, her eyes spotting the brooch and picking it up.

Ladybug folded her arms as Chat hesitantly approached her.

He bent down, to help her up.

Sabrina slowly stood up with Chat's help.

"Sabrina, you're an amazing person." He spoke softly.

She looked up at him, her eyes glossy and her glasses broken.

"Take a break and grieve... Especially, the break part. You need some time away from Chloé." Chat explained thoughtfully.

Ladybug tensed as her miraculous beeped.

"Okay, kitty. We have to go." She said softly.

Chat released his grip on her hand and waved awkwardly.

Ladybug wrapped her arm around his neck, and he extended his stick.

Sitting on his lap, the two took off into the sky.

"Thank you!" Sabrina called as the two faded out into the sky.

A/N: Sorry if the chapter sucked. Was feeling off today. Chapter was inspired by "As the world falls down" music box version from the Labyrinth! Check it out on YouTube.

Rest in peace David Bowie!

Have a great night!
