The Fox's Artist 3

The Miraculouses

Days later Nathaniel sat inside the kitchen talking with Lila's mother.  

"I have the feeling, they are all trying to force me to leave Lila. They've been telling me various things. I know I should ignore this, but when Lila's away for a while, they start again"

"Maybe we should talk with them about it?"

"No, I don't want that. Then it will be worse, they will say, that I'm..."

The doorbell rang and Mrs. Rossi looked around to the entrance of the kitchen.

"Who could it be?" Asked Mrs. Rossi walking out, followed by Nathaniel and as she arrived the door got opened and Alessio stood there along with a tall young man with black hair and brown eyes.

"Look, who I met while going home, Antonio!" Said Alessio.

"Oh hello" Greeted Mrs. Rossi. "Come estai?"

"Bene" Responded Antonio and behind them appeared Lila along with Alice and Valentina, then saw Antonio there. Alice did a face palm, while Lila got angry about it.

"Look this is Nathaniel, my future son in law" Introduced Alessio him to the redhead.

"You're Lila's boyfriend?" Asked Antonio looking at the Frenchman.

"Uh yes" Responded Nathaniel. "Or no actually her fiancé"

"Great" Said Antonio. "I'm Antonio, I'm her ex"

"Great....." Replied Nathaniel. "Nice to meet you...."

Lila passed between her stepfather and Antonio walking up at Nathaniel and her mother, looking back at the other two.

"What is he doing here?" Asked Lila glaring at her stepfather.

"I invited him to come and visit us" Responded Alessio. "I've met him before, as I left the work.

"Of course you did" Responded Lila ironic. "Can I talk with you in private?"

"Sure" Responded Alessio following the brunette into the house leaving the others back.

"Get in Antonio," Told Mrs. Rossi and all got in.

"So you're now Lila's new mate hein?" Asked Antonio interested.

"Yeah" Responded Nathaniel. "Why?"

"Alessio told me about it" Replied Antonio. "He told me, that she would change her religion, just to be able to marry you"

"Yeah she kind of said that"

"And you?" Asked Antonio. "Are you too religious to change your religion?"

"Uh no"

"Then why does she change?"

"Because I've had done all rituals I needed to become Jewish, she didn't want, that I would think I did this all for nothing"

"Oh, so you're that kind of guy with trust issues?"

"Uh not really trust issues, more of..."

"She grabbed herself a fool of a guy" Said Antonio with a chuckle. "I wonder, what she has seen in you?" Said Antonio, making Nathaniel frown his face turning a bit mad.

"I wonder, what she has seen in you before"

"Oh, you're jealous?" Asked Antonio.

"No, I'm not!" Responded Nathaniel back a little loud.

"But you are!" Replied the Italian back. "You're definitely jealous"

"....."

"Don't worry, I'm not really interested in her" Said Antonio. "The fact, she still looks hotter as always"

Nathaniel growled at Antonio, which glared at him entertained with the annoyance Nathaniel was getting. Lila appeared next the two, looking at Antonio.

"Do you want something to drink?" Asked Lila glaring unimpressed at the ex.

"I'd love to" Responded Antonio and Lila left the two back. Antonio rolled his eyes at Nathaniel, while twitching them and followed Lila and spoke at her in Italian.

"Ugh" Replied Nathaniel covering his face with his hands. "I need a break," Said Nathaniel walking at the door, then got stopped by Lila's mother.

"Ragazzo, where are you going?" Asked Mrs. Rossi glaring at the redhead.

"Clear my mind I guess" Responded Nathaniel. "I'll be there at the Starbucks at the train station"

"Okay and please don't do anything bad Nathaniel," Told Mrs. Rossi earning a nod from the redhead, which then left the house.

"Dov'è Nathaniel?" Asked Lila showing up with two glasses of water.

In Paris, Adrien was driving home in his Seat Ateca with a shopping bag standing on the co-driver seat. Adrien whistled while he was listening to music on the radio of his car. A while later he arrived at his mansion and entered into the front entrance of the house with the car, then left the car walking back to the trunk, then passed his foot under the bumper to cause the door of the trunk to open up by itself.

"The diapers were really cheap at the store," Adrien said to himself taking two packages of diapers out of the car, then noted a brown box with the name Master Fu on it. "Huh?" Asked Adrien as he noted the box. He pulled the box at him staring at the top, which wasn't fixed together and opened it, wondering, what it was.

"Oh gosh," Said Adrien surprised as he saw, that it was Master Fu's phonograph in it, with the horn taken down. "What are his miraculouses doing here?" Asked Adrien then found a note inside it.

"Dear Adrien, Marinette, Lila, Chloé or Nathaniel. If you read this I'm dead or I'm gone for a while and someone has to protect the miraculouses, while I'm away. So, what did I want to say....yes right, please keep this safe somewhere, where no one will find it. If this lands on the wrong hands it can cause real trouble like it was with Hawk Moth for example. If there's anything real bad going on, you can use the miraculous, but only if it is really, really urgent.

Stay Miraculous.

Greetings, Master Fu."

"Hmm okay?" Asked Adrien himself and looked around, if someone was there. He took the box along with the diapers packages and passed his foot under the bumper's sensor again, causing the car to close the back door of the SUV.
