Their Closure

"I wonder what his reaction would be like." Marinette said.

"It definitely won't be good." Adrien sighed. "We should go tell him no-"

He was interrupted by Marinette's phone. She frowned, picked it up from the coffee table and checked to see who was calling.

"Chloe?" Marinette turned her phone to allow Adrien to see.

"Why's she calling?" Adrien furrowed his brow. "The school year ended a week and a half ago, so there's no way she's calling about homework."

Marinette shrugged and answered the phone. "Hello?"

Adrien sat there and listened to Marinette. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't hear Chloe on the other line.

"Hi Chloe, how are you?

....

I'm good.

...

Oh?

...

I'm sorry too, Chloe. 

...

I'd love that.

...

What? You don't have to!

...

You know what? How about I come over now and we'll talk about it.

...

Don't bring Adrien?"

Marinette stuck her tongue out at Adrien and he scoffed.

"Okay," Marinette laughed. "I'll see you soon. Bye." She hung up.

"What was that about?" Adrien asked.

"Chloe apologized to me for bullying me. I apologized too because I'm not really innocent either, so we agreed to start over. Anyway, she told me she wanted to plan my birthday party, and she was insisting on it. I told her I'd come over now."

"And what's this about not bringing me?" Adrien pouted.

"Just some girl time, Adrien." She playfully rolled her eyes at him.

"What? And I don't qualify to participate in girl time?" Adrien interrogated.

"Only Louis is!" Marinette giggled and rubbed her belly. Then she stopped. Oops, she thought.

"L-Louis?"

"I..um.." Marinette fiddled with her thumbs.

"I think that's a beautiful name for our baby boy." Adrien smiled and kissed her.

"Really?" She blushed. "But we don't even know if it's a boy, don't get too ahead of yourself Agreste!"

"Says the girl who already picked out a name!" Adrien teased Marinette, which made her face turn more red.

"I have a name for a girl, too! I'm just more confident that it's a boy."

"Me too." Adrien said.

"You have a name for a girl too?" Marinette sat up.

"No, I'm more confident it's a boy. And I don't have names planned out for our children, weirdo." Adrien smirked.

"Yeah right!" Marinette narrowed her eyes and leaned into him Chat Noir style.

"O-okay, fine." Adrien used his hands to lean Marinette away from him. "I have one for a girl..."

"What is it?"
