 Adrien had left Marinette outside with Titus too relax. She seemed a bit wound up and decided it was best to let her relax. He could ask her about the nursery after dinner.


"Adrien? Is everything alright?" Gabriel questioned.

"Everything's fine." Adrien answered, "We had the ultrasound today."

"You did?" His father asked.

"I'm going to be the proud father of a little girl." Adrien smiled into the receiver.

"Really?" Gabriel replied.

"Yep. We already have a name picked out." Adrien stated.

"You do?" Gabriel questioned, "So soon? How long have you had it picked out?"

"Well, I already had the middle name picked out. We went fifty-fifty on the name." the new father admitted.

"She named your child?" Gabriel questioned, a bit upset.

'I never thought Mrs. Wayne would take to naming the child.'

"I think the name is beautiful." Adrien stated, hoping not to explain how he had to fight to keep the name.

"What is my granddaughter's name?" Gabriel asked.

"Emma Lily Agreste." Adrien answered.

'Emma....Lily.....Agreste.'

"She's named after Mom." Adrien continued, over his father's silence.

"Sounds....lovely." his father replied, not noticing his voice break.

"We won't be telling the media about her gender until after she's born. Only family will know her name, beforehand." Adrien spoke.

"Mr. Agreste, you have an appointment in ten minutes." Adrien heard Natalie speak.

"I-" his father began.

"It's okay, Father." Adrien interrupted, "I'm just glad we had the chance to talk. I love you."

"I love you too, Son." Gabriel spoke, before hanging up.

Adrien sighed as he placed his phone down. He hadn't expected his father to respond so strongly to his daughter's name. It sounded like his father had been trying not to cry and Natalie had given him a way out. She had always been good with those. He was sure his father would spoil her.



"Hey, Nino." Adrien spoke.

"Hey, Man." Nino replied, "So?"

"I'm having a little princess!" the young Agreste announced.

"A girl?" Nino shouted.

"Yep." the new father smiled.

"Congrats, Dude!" Nino spoke, excitedly, "You called your dad first, right?"

"Just got off the phone with him." Adrien declared.

"Now, the hard part." Nino stated.

"What?" the soon-to-be father asked.

"Names!" Nino cried out.

"Oh! The names are already locked in." Adrien chuckled, "The hard part is the nursery."

"Really?" his friend questioned.

"There's too many choices in ten photographs." the Agreste heir whined.

"See! This is why we don't eat out." Nino declared, "You want everything and can only choose a couple of things."

"How was I suppose to know that McDonalds would get mad at me for ordering one of everything!" Adrien shouted back.

Nino laughed, "That was a great day."

"My stomach didn't think so the next day." Adrien groaned.

"How's Mari?" the DJ questioned.

"Relaxing with her guard dog." Adrien stated.

"Damian?" Nino asked.

"No; Titus." Adrien laughed, "Damian's at work. Titus is just as effective."

Nino laughed along with his best friend.



"How was your day?" asked Dick.

"Today was the ultrasound!" Adrien cried.

"Well?" suggested Jason.

"Did you find out or not?" questioned Tim.

"I'm having a girl!" the Agreste heir shouted, making the girl cry out in joy and the boys groan.

Marinette just giggled, "Imagine how hard it was for Barb, Steph, Cass and Selina. We're just....evening the playing field."

"Can you do that?" asked Jason, confused.

"Have you thought about any names?" asked Selina.

Out of the corner of his eye, Damian noticed his wife tense.

"Habibiti, you didn't." Damian spoke, putting his fork down.

"I didn't mean to. I thought I was by myself. He snuck up on me and Titus didn't warn me!" Marinette exclaimed.

Damian sighed in defeat.

"What happened?" asked Tim.

"I don't know." replied Dick.

"We already picked out a name." Adrien spoke, "I already had a middle name prepared. I had trouble with the first name and Marinette already had a name picked out."

Damian glared at his wife.

"I already said I didn't know he was there! I was just calling her a name, in private, until he chose one. I immediately would have changed the name!" Marinette explained.

"What's her name?" Bruce questioned.

"Emma Lily Agreste, after my mother and her favorite flower." Adrien explained, "I didn't want to give her my mother's name. I was looking at other names, similar to her. Emma just sounded fitting. Honestly, I'm glad she will gain a name from Marinette. I'm not upset, at all, Damian."

Damian nodded his head and continued to eat his dinner. Marinette remained silent and continued to eat hers. Adrien smiled through all the congratulations and thanked them.

'Aw man. I had hoped the name wouldn't have caused such a problem. Maybe she was right and I should have chosen another name.'
