Adrien was at the bakery of the Dupain-Cheng family making croissants filled with bacon and Camembert, while his wife and kwami were watching.
"Can I have a bit?" Asked the black kwami observing Adrien rolling the triangle formed dough piece with the bacon and the cheese in it together, then moved the sides down, making three spirals, so that it looked like a not-baked croissant.
"You call that a croissant?" Asked Plagg glaring at the blonde.
"It has to go first into the oven, then after that, it grows and you can finally eat it and enjoy my art de cuisine," Told Adrien looking at the two. "Right Mari?"
"You're almost as good as my father," Said Marinette observing her husband rolling another flat dough piece with its ingredients for the croissants he's making.
"Well he's been teaching me almost everything and giving me great ideas"
"Yeah and this recipe you got from the internet" Said Plagg as he saw a female name on the top of the recipe."Where's the improvising?
"We improvise one or two little things with a receipt we got, not with everything on it"
"You're boring" Said Plagg. "I have no idea, what Marinette saw in you"
"The same question I got about you and Tikki"
"Touché....now finish your delicious Camembert filled croissants', cause I can't hold much longer, without having Camembert in front of me, without me having to eat it!" Shouted Plagg flying towards the croissants, but got stopped by Sabine, Marinette's mother.
"After it is baked or your stomach will ache after it''Told Ms. Cheng, making Marinette giggle and Plagg cross his arms looking grumpy.

At the hospital, Lila sat on a bed while a nurse passed a gel over her belly. Nathaniel sat there observing the woman spreading the gel over her belly, then took a hammer-like device and looked at both.
"Now I'm going to pass this over her belly and look for your child," Told the woman and both nodded, then looked at each other.
"Good" Responded Lila then the doctor passed the objects over Lila's bell while looking on the scan for any hint of a fetus. The couple glared at the screen, then Lila felt someone grabbing her hand, which was her husband. She smiled and kept looking at the screen, then they saw a strange and tiny bean-like creature on the scan.
"Can you two see that?" Asked the nurse and Lila's smile turned big, while Nath crosses his eyes trying to figure out, what he sees. "Here Mr. Kurtzberg" Pointed the woman with her finger. "It's a fetus and she or he seems to be in a good process."
"Look Nath, there's the umbilical cord hanging down on its belly"
"Cute"
"Are we able to hear the heartbeat yet?" Asked Lila and the nurse shook her head.
"No, but in a few months you will be able and I can play it live to you"
"Amazing" Replied Lila looking at Nathaniel, which leaned his forehead on hers.
"Are you interested into buying a screenshot of it?" Asked the black-haired nurse. "They're only 2.99€"
"Why not?" Replied Lila glaring at Nathaniel, which agreed with his fiance.
"So I have sent it to the administration, there we can go and get the photo, then pay for it too"
"Sure we could go"
"Please Follow me Mister" Demanded the nurse and Nathaniel followed the nurse, leaving Lila back on the seat, which kept looking at the screen with the baby, which is been involving inside her.


At the entrance, someone sneaked him wearing a black hoodie while having her head covered and approached herself near Lila. Lila kept glaring at the screen, then felt, that someone was standing behind her. The person took the pillow from behind Lila's back and waited for a moment, then suddenly Lila spoke.
"Did you forget your wallet Nathy?" Asked Lila, then the person responded to her.
"I'm not your Nathy!" Responded that person shrieking Lila, then she turned around at the dark-dressed person and the person covered Lila's whole face with the pillow, hard, trying to suffocate her.

"Hmmmmmmmm!!!!!!" Mumbled Lila, while trying to push the arms of the other person.
"Shhhh shut up" Demanded the person as Lila started to slowly back her arms off.
"Good"
"Lila!" Shouted a voice and it was Nathaniel running and pushing the person, along with the pillow off Lila, then Lila could breathe normally again, but now more shocked due to the situation.
"Mrs. Kurtzberg, are you alright?" Asked the nurse looking at her along with Nathaniel and the brunette nodded then embraced the redhead, feeling panicked from it. The nurse ran at the door to see, if the person was already gone, which sadly was true.
"I'm here Lila, don't worry" Told Nathaniel petting the head of Lila, calming her down.
"Thank god, you came back," Said Lila and the nurse came back.
"I couldn't see, where the person ran, but I'm calling the head director to inform him about it," Told the nurse taking the phone and typing a short number on it.
"Alright" Agreed Nathaniel. "Shall we go to the police?" Asked Nathaniel and Lila looked back at the entrance of the room, then back to him again.
"I just want to find out, who wanted to do this to me," Told Lila looking a bit anxious at the redhead, which nodded at the brunette.
