3rd Person's Pov

The boys knock on the door respectively knowing the girls are talking about something private. Marinette goes over to the door and lets them in just as the kwamis hid. "Hey Luka, come on in guys," the boys walk in and sit on the couch with Emilie.

"How was your time at your friends place Luka? Wait- we haven't introduced ourselves properly! Deary me, i'm Emilie Agreste, Adrien's mother," "Luka Dupain-Cheng. I had a good time, I got a bit bored at one point but Marinette texted me." "Yes I did, I somehow...knew? I knew that you were bored, yes," the group erupted in laughter and soon settled down. "Did you get up the stairs and everything easily Marinette? Sorry I wasn't there to help," "it's alright Luka and yes I was fine."

"Marinette, would you like to come over to my room to continue our chat?" "Chat what chat? Did Marinette somehow get in trouble? Oh sweet lord..." "NO I DIDN'T GET IN TROUBLE YOU IDIOT!" "WELL I'M SORRY FOR ASSUMING!" "Apology forgiven, yes Mrs Agreste, I would love to continue our chat in your room." "No," "n-no?" "No, you called me Mrs Agreste, call me Emilie and i'll say yes." The children were all confused as to why she was so determined on being called Emilie.

There were a few things Marinette wanted to tell Emilie. She could tell Luka...but he might not be able to relate. She could tell Chat Noir...but that would lead to a possible reveal. She could talk to Tikki...but she's a little more older and wouldn't understand fully. She might talk to Tikki about a few things, but Emilie is her only choice at the moment.

"U-uh ok Emilie..." "perfect let's go!" They walked over to the woman's room and Emilie unlocked the door. "Come in," Marinette nodded and walked in and sat on her bed.

"Alright, I saw you when you were walking. You limped, and tried not to show your pain, I could see it in your eyes. You did hide it well, I almost fell for it, but I eventually saw it." "I-I don't want people to worry...especially Luka. He's probably been the most worried, I don't want him to be. Knowing him, if I hurt myself by tripping or something, he'll blame himself. He'll blame himself for not being there to help me, I don't want that. I really don't," Emilie nodded. "Well, honestly, I think you should rest, take some time off to take a break. That might put him at ease. Knowing that you're resting and you're getting better."

She thought through with this, maybe it would, she told herself in her head.

"B-but i'm Ladybug...I-I can't be resting. I can't be taking a nap when Paris is about to end!" "Well I wouldn't say end," "I would. Listen, thank you for your concern and thank you for the idea, but it just won't work out. I have a lot of responsibilities and I can't be resting in between them." "I understand Marinette, it was just an option anyway. Now, tell me about what that face was when your parents were talking to Adrien."

Marinette's Pov

I feel a little embarrassed that i'm slightly jealous of her son. He's close with his parents, well, his mother at least. My parents spoke to him more than me. My parents found time to talk to Adrien but couldn't find any for me. Their own daughter. Yes we were friends when we were younger and they're just meeting him again but they don't talk like that to me. When they don't see Luka and I for a week or something they just say good morning or something. They don't pay attention to my existence. I guess i'll tell her that.

"I-it's my parents..." "your parents? What did they do?" "W-when I tried talking to them today after school because there was no one else, they said they didn't have time. They said they were busy and couldn't talk. My father didn't even spare a glance at me, only my mother did. They said, 'running a country from another is a lot of work, how about some other time?' So I said ok. I left and not too long after me talking to Tikki, you guys come. They then suddenly have time for someone! Guess what, it wasn't me, it was for you and Adrien. I'm not saying I don't like you for it or whatever but they suddenly had time to have a chat for Adrien. Yes I understand they haven't seen Adrien in a long time because we were just kids. Yes I understand they were being nice but they don't act that way to us."

I paused to take a breath, then continued.

"When they haven't seen us, Luka and I, their own children, for a week, they're not like that. Father doesn't even leave that stupid office of his, mother doesn't chat with us much. They'll say good morning and send us off to do our extra activities. We had to convince our mother one time to bring our father his breakfast. We hadn't seen him in about a month and all he said to us was 'good morning' and 'thank you'."

I had tears in my eyes. I could finally tell someone. I'm glad I could tell Emilie. I trust her and she makes everything so much better.

"I'm gonna have no one after this..." "of course not, that's not true." "Yes it is, Luka and I were inseparable but he's older. He'll find new people to be with. Why would he hang out with his dumb little sister that can't even stay on her own two feet. I had to learn how to walk without falling till the age of 6! All my friends will use me for my fame. They'll use me for my popularity and money then i'll have to leave them. My parents will grow old, they'll grow even more busy, I can't stay with them."

"Sweetheart, you have Adrien. I'm sure he won't use you for your fame, he's got enough of his own."

"No...he'll leave me too. He's a guy, he would want guy friends not some girl like me. I'm not special enough for him to ditch everyone else and go with me. I'm not special at all for anyone. Everyone will leave me and i'll have no one. I'll be alone. A loner. I'll grow old and be some...cat lady! Wait no- not a cat, th-that would remind me of Chat Noir. Uh...i'll be a knitting lady! Y-yeah, a knitting lady. I'll be knitting scarfs on Christmas for my age care friends. We'll drink tea in our beds and have someone rolling us around in wheelchairs to go to the bathroom. I'll die a lonely soul. No one will notice. No one will care. I won't have a funeral. I won't 'stay in peoples hearts'."

Maybe I got a little carried away with the age care thing...? By now I was full on bawling my eyes out on Emilie's bed. Tikki and Duusu went off somewhere to catch up, probably the bathroom.

"Sweetheart, i'm sure that won't be the outcome. I'm sure you won't...have people wheel you to the bathroom. I'm sure you will be remembered my many. You will have a funeral, and i'll make sure of it! You are special Marinette. You're very special. Who cares how long it took you to be able to walk without tripping? Who cares that you're different? I certainly don't. You've always been like a daughter to me. That means you're special to me. I may be the only one who says it, but I promise, i'm not the only one who means it."

She hugs me closely while I cry on her shoulder. Does she really mean that? That i'm like a daughter to her?

"Am I really like a daughter to you?" "Of course you are darling. You know, we were like, best friends when you were young." I giggled, "really?" "Really! We were besties!" She let go of me and we erupted into a fit of laughter.

"Come on, let's wash that beautiful face of yours and go to see the boys that'll never leave you." "How are you so wise and good with advice?" "I'm a mother and a queen, i'd say that helps out. I was also the smartest in all my classes back highschool and primary."

I wash my face to try hide the fact I was crying as much as possible. My cheeks were still red and my eyes were too. You could easily tell I was crying if you really tried. We headed back to my room and I open the door with my key.

"Hey Emilie, hey Marine- Marinette? Why are you crying?" "I-i'm not crying..." "mhm, and I have brown eyes." I roll my eyes at him and sit on my bed.

"Guys..." "yes Adrien?" "My bed won't be coming for a few days, the delivery got delayed. I don't know where to sleep in here..." "oh you can-" "you can sleep in my bed." "Uh Luka?" "Yes?" "You're gonna sleep in the same bed as Adrien?" I tried containing my laughter at the situation, this was too funny!

"NO OF COURSE NOT! He'll sleep alone, i'll sleep in your bed." "Alright," I then burst into laughter unable to hold it in any longer. "What's so funny...?" "It would be so funny i-if you two shared a-a bed! HAHAHAH!" Everyone began laughing with me and I even heard the kwamis giggling a little in my bag.

I hope Emilie was right.

I hope they never leave me.
