A change of heart

Try

They put Emilie back downstairs and sat down at the kitchen table, Tiki, Plagg, Nooroo, and Duusu sat in the middle.

D- Are you going to take us back to the miracle box's guardian? Please don't take me away from Mrs. Nathalie!

A- I won't tell Ladybug who you are, but please don't akumatize anyone anymore.

G- I won't, I promise.

T- I really did like spending time with you though Nathalie, I'll miss you.

N- See you Tiki.

Noo- It was good to see you, if any other kwamis want to visit...

T- We promised not to tell, so we can't tell any other kwamis but maybe I can stop by here once in a while.

Adrien smiled and put his ring on, he transformed and went to give Marinette back her earrings, Gabriel and Nathalie went into his office. Gabriel stood in front of Nathalie and stared at her, she was smiling.

G- I'm sorry Nathalie, I was so caught up in getting her back that i didn't realize that... I love you, my Nathalie.

Before she could respond, he hugged her tightly, she started to cry again and hugged him back, she had never wanted anything more.

N- You have no idea how happy that makes me. I love you Gabriel.

They stayed standing where they were and still had their arms around each other, Nathalie had stopped crying, they decided to finish work for the day and go out to the garden. Cat Noir came back and sat down next to them, then de transformed back and gave Plagg a piece of camembert. 

A- I'm so glad you didn't die. 

G- I don't know what  we'd do.

N- You guys are my family, I would do anything for you.

D- That's what got you into this mess in the first place.

N- But this mess turned out to be successful, right?

A- It sure did, but I have a question.

G- What question?

A- Will Nathalie be my new mother?

G- Give it time, son. 

N- Not that fast anyway.

They stayed outside and watched the rest of the sun go down, Adrien fell asleep on Nathalie's lap, she carried him to his room and went back to her room to get her pyjamas on, Gabriel knocked on the door. She buttoned up her shirt and opened the door.

G- Do you want to stay with me for the night?

N- Alright, your sure?

G- Absolutely.

Nathalie giggled and followed him into his room, she flopped down on the bad next to him on the bed and Gabriel put his hands on the sides of her face, she smiled and he kissed her, not for long, but this had meant more to her than anything, when he'd kissed her he was drunk and now he had full control over what he did, and he chose to kiss her this time.

N- I've never felt like this before.

G- What do you mean?

N- You didn't make the decision on your own when you were drunk, this time you actually chose to.

Gabriel smiled and she kissed him until they fell asleep. They were only woken up by their phones buzzing, Nathalie reached over to grab her phone, so did Gabriel, it was a new report, they threw their phones down on the bed. Nathalie stretched and sat up, she had welts on her arm from the towel and her ribs hurt a bit, Gabriel saw her look at her arms and legs, then reached for her hand.

G- How are you today?

N- Good, just a little sore, is all.

G- Why didn't you ever tell me Emilie treated you that way.

N- You were always so fond of her, I didn't want to be the one who ruined it.

G- You could never ruin anything for me. It's impossible, Nat.

N- What are we going to do today?

G- I have a meeting with the team today in London, shit!

He jumped out of the bed and got a suit case out of his closet, he started packing for the trip frantically. Nathalie went into her room and got dressed, putting her glasses back on, she tied her hair up in a bun that was messier than usual, but still suitable. She threw on the usual pan suit, and went into Gabriel's room to help him, he was dressed now, but was rushing to get everything together. The gorilla carried everything into the limo and Gabriel kissed Nathalie's cheek, then drove away.

A- Where did father go?

N- He forgot about his meeting in London.

A- I thought you would've gone with him.

N- Sorry, but your still only 15, I promised I'd look after you.

A- Right, thanks.

N- No problem, since it's Saturday, I could help you with perfecting Angel eyes for when your father arrives home.

A- Really? Thank you Nathalie! 

N- Of course, go get dressed, I'm going to have a coffee and I'll be upstairs as soon as I'm done.

A- Don't worry, take your time.

He ran back into the house and up to his room, Nathalie went into the kitchen and made herself a coffee. She then got a call from Gabriel, she answered.

N- Hello, sir.

...- Hello dear, if you want Agreste back, hurry up to notre dam, if you don't come within an hour, this gun won't be full anymore.

N- Who the-

...- Slow down dear, don't get mad, we'll be waiting for you.

There was a gun shot and a yell, the caller hung up. She stood there furiously, this could be a trick, but if it was, then why did she receive a call from Gabriel's phone.

N- Duusu, spread my feathers! Adrien, get down here quick!

He ran down the stairs, and saw she was Mayura.

A- What?

M- Transform, we have to go save your father's ass, let's go.

A- Plagg, claws out! We should get Ladybug.

M- Go, I'm going right now. We have an hour before he's dead, just call her on the way there.

They jumped out of one of the windows and Cat noir called Marinette, explaining everything and telling her to get to notre dam, once they arrived, they waited at the door for Ladybug, she got there quickly, and they ran into the building, Gabriel was lying in a pool of blood, the person who had kidnapped him noticed the heros and aimed at Mayura, he shot the gun and it hit her.
