You Changed My Life

Talks With Tikki

Marinette

"Bella it's time to go you're already sleepy" I said as Adrien handed Bella to me. "N-no I-I'm not" she yawned as I smiled, I kissed her forehead as we walked to the car. Damian wrapped his arms around my shoulder. We were almost there when someone stopped us.

"Hi you're a cute couple" the lady said with a smile. "Oh I'm sorry we're-" I started before he cut me off. "We're happy to meet you, and thank you for the compliment" he pulled me to the car. He drove instead because I was as tired as Bella.

"Now what was that" I yawned "What was what?" He responded I narrowed my eyes. "Why didn't you let me tell her we weren't together" he smirked. "That's for me to know and you to dot, dot, dot" I rolled my eyes as I went to sleep.

A couple hours later I woke up in my room with a sleeping Bella. I smiled and kissed her head, I'm glad I adopted her. I sat up and rubbed my eyes yawning, I got up and went to the walk in closet. I sat on the floor as Tikki came in and woke to me.

"Hey Tikki" I smiled at my best friend, "Hi Mari, did you think about our talk?" She asked I smiled and shook my head. "I adopted Bella because not only can she relate to past trauma, but she looks like me, and makes me happy." Tikki smiled hugging my cheek.

"For the past year I felt like something was missing and when Bella came into my life my world brightened. I'm still missing something and I don't know who are what it is." I let a tear slip as Tikki tried comforting me.

"You know Mari it's never bad to open up and give others a chance such as a certain Ice Prince" I laughed at that thought. "He's great with Bella she's been happier since she met him but trust me he's not the kind of person who dates, plus I don't want Bella to get her hopes up or anything. I can already see how happy she is and I don't want her to lose that happiness" Tikki wiped away a tear that fell.

"Marinette, maybe you should let things play out. I'm sure you'll find what you're missing soon." I nodded and hugged the little creature. Little did we know there was a certain someone listening.

Damian

Bella and Angel went to sleep in the car causing me to bring them to bed. I stayed with them for a while but I had to go to the bathroom at one point. When I came out Angel wasn't in the bed anymore and I heard voices from the closet.

I walked over to the closet and listened and notice it was Tikki and Angels voice. I wasn't going to listen until I heard "Hi Mari, did you think about our talk?" Talk? What talk? I saw Angel shake her head before speaking.

"I adopted Bella because not only can she relate to past trauma, but she looks like me, and makes me happy." I saw Tikki hug her with a smile I smiled at their moment. That is until I heard her next words.

"For the past year I felt like something was missing and when Bella came into my life my world brightened. I'm still missing something and I don't know who are what it is." She felt like something else was missing? I continued listening to their conversation.

"You know Mari it's never bad to open up and give others a chance such as a certain Ice Prince" I flushed red when Tikki said that. Angel laughed and said "He's great with Bella she's been happier since she met him but trust me he's not the kind of person who dates, plus I don't want Bella to get her hopes up or anything. I can already see how happy she is and I don't want her to lose that happiness" I saw a tear fall.

It took everything in me not to go and hug her. She's right I don't date, I've never dated anyone a day in my life. I remember the time Rachel had a crush on me but I couldn't return her feelings. I've managed to love Bella in not even three days. I could feel something in me every time I heard her, looked at her, talked to her.

It took me a while to realize I loved her, how did I confirm it? Plagg came to me.

(A/N: Adrien was not the truth holder for the black cat miraculous. Mari took it and gave him the Fox miraculous and he's a true holder)

When I found out I was scared beyond anything. Actually no that's a lie I had mixed emotions, happy, sad, confused, you know what any emotion you name I feel it.

I never actually thought about having kids or dating, I was taught that love was a weakness. So I believed it even after leaving the league I still believed love was a weakness. Even so no one ever caught my eye, all the girls who threw themselves at me, Rachel, plus others. I never gave them the time of day which is how I earned the name The Ice Prince of Gotham.

Now I've met someone that makes me feel emotions I know my mom would not approve of. I fell in love with a child that isn't even mine and I'm sure everyone can see it. Both Mari and Bella have the same traumatic childhood so it was understandable.

When we were out someone thought she was my kid due to the black hair. They could obviously see she looked exactly like Mari. The thing is Mari has a blue-ish hair color where as I have jet black. So me and Bella have the same hair color.

Do I love Mari? Yes, yes I do. Am I scared? Yes, yes I am. Am I upset she didn't talk to me about it? Yes. Would can I do though? There's nothing I could do but wait for her to come to me herself.
