Marinette's phone rang, once, then twice. It was laying on her nightstand upstairs though. She hadn't been able to reach it in time so instead checked her messages. Apparently Alya was hosting a picnic with all of their friends back when they were in school. It was exciting, they hadn't met up like that since Autumn. It had been freezing that winter, and Parisians had barely gone outside of their homes. She smiled in excitement and replied that they would be there. Maybe she could bring some macarons, too.

Adrien stood up from his desk downstairs in the office. Plagg had been whining about cheese to the point where he couldn't focus on the lesson plan he was arranging. "Okay, okay. Let's go upstairs and I'll get you your cheese." They usually kept the smelly cheese in the pantry, but they had run out. Plagg had been lucky that Adrien always kept a replacement box upstairs in his room. Stepping inside, he saw his wife texting someone on her phone. He leaned down and pressed a kiss on her head. "Hey, Bugaboo." He said as he opened up the cheese box. "What's up?"

Marinette held out her cellphone. "Alya invited us for a picnic down at the park near the Louvre. I said we would be there, yes?" She watched as his eyes moved through the multiple messages Alya had texted.

"We should bring something." He sat down on the bed with her. Marinette waited for him to say something, but after thirty or so seconds he hadn't opened his mouth. Right when she was about to suggest, his eyes lit up. "How about macarons?"

She laughed and ruffled his hair, standing up from the bed. "I thought the same thing, Kitty. Just let me know when you're ready to go. We can pick them up and the bakery on our way."

Adrien stood up, sliding his arms around her waist. "Sounds like a plan, M'lady." He gave her a peck on the lips. "I love you." Another kiss. "So much. Just my daily reminder!"

Marinette giggled and tapped his nose. "Your seventh today." She teased. "Then this is mine." She wrapped her arms around his neck, holding herself steady as she pressed her lips on his. He didn't hesitate to kiss her back, instead holding the back of her head with his hand gently.

"Get a room..." Muttered Hugo as he walked past his parents' room in the hallway. That was the billionth time he had seen them kiss that day, and it wasn't even noon yet. He often happened to wonder why he didn't get a third sibling while they were at it. Not that he really wanted one, anyways. He already had more than enough with Emma and Louis.

Marinette reached to grab the silver door handle of her parents' bakery. As she entered inside, the smell of French pastries filled her nose, making her forget what she came for in the first place. The bell rang loudly as she walked through, making her mother look towards her. "Hi, Mamá!" Marinette greeted her mother with a hug.

Sabine smiled, hugging her daughter back. "Hello Marinette! It's very nice to see you."

Marinette was about to say something but then Hugo walked in, and then Adrien who was holding onto Louis and Emma. "Grandma!" Emma shouted, letting go from Adrien's hand and jumping into Sabine's arms. Then Hugo and Louis also ran towards her, joining the hug.

"Hello, you three!" Sabine said, planting a kiss on each of their heads. She looked up at Marinette and Adrien. "Hi Adrien! It's nice to see you too." She said hugging him.

Adrien hugged her back. "It's nice to see you! Where's Tom?"

"He's upstairs, probably cooking lunch. What do you need today?" The woman asked.

"We stopped by for some macarons, Mama. We're all going to a picnic at the park near the Louvre." Marinette smiled.

Sabine headed for the counter and pulled out a box filled with them. Definitely enough for everyone. "Thank you, you're the best!" Marinette beamed.
