Lila had arrived when she was 13. She had stolen all her friends. She was bullied by her class. Chloe apologized and was her only friend in her class, but she moved to New York to spend more time with her mother.
She was alone. Marinette decided to...
I have been spending a lot of my time studying for my exams, so my parents have decided that we will go buy some stuff for the nursery today to keep myself busy and not spend as much time worrying. Walking is becoming increasingly difficult. If I had never been Ladybug, I would probably be in a wheelchair right now.
We are currently looking for cute toys for them. "We" is probably an exaggeration, my parents are throwing EVERY. SINGLE. TOY. they come across into the cart. We still need to buy a buggy, carriers, cribs and pretty much any necessity you can think of... I love my parents, but they are more excited than me about my own pregnancy.
At least they are supportive.
I smile at that thought. They love me and will be the best grandparents ever in a time span Tha is becoming increasingly short.
I'm gonna be a mother in the next three months.
The thought is making me anxious. Sure I babysat, sure I am Ladybug and am used to tricky situations, but this is different. My parents and friends will help me along the way, but it is still huge to me.
Maman : - inette ? Marinette? Marinette !
Mari : huh-wh-what?
Papa : Are you coming? I already put the toys in the boot. Next on the list : a buggy and carriers.
We walk into the shop and the cycle commences again. I asked them to get neutral colors, as I don't want to end up with a fluorescent green buggy with bright orange carriers. I watch from a distance, as they bicker over which version is better to end up getting both.
I love them. I really do.
It took them an hour to leave the store. Because of the time they spent in the shop, we decided to got to lunch. My cravings weren't too weird today, so we managed to choose a restaurant fitting everyone's likings. We ate and talked. Joked quite a bit. The food was really good. We left the restaurant after about two hours.
The next items on the list are cribs. We enter a cute little shop selling wooden cribs. They were all very cute. I chose simple, modern wooden designs.

I may add a few painted designs to it. Inspired by the miraculous or Gotham.
Feeling tired, I tell my parents that I will wait for them in the car while they get the last few things. I trust them to not go overboard. Scratch that, I don't, but I'm to tired to make sure they don't.
While waiting for them, I somehow fell asleep. When I woke up, I was in my bed and the sun was rising.
I get up, the need to pee being overwhelming. New tattoos are slowly appearing. I like how they look. Not many are colorful, but I love all of the designs.
I can smell the breakfast my parents are cooking.
Mmmh... Pancakes!
After barely making it to the bathroom on time, I head to the table for breakfast. I'm starving.
Maman : Good morning sleepy head!
Mari : Good morning! The food smells amazing!
I sit down and start eating the fluffy pancakes. We chat about random stuff until I spot the boxes.
Mari : Why are there so many boxes?
Papa smiling brightly, visibly proud of himself : It's everything we got for the nursery! We will set it up while you are taking your exams next week!
Marinette face-palming : Of course! I told you not to go overboard!
Maman : We didn't go overboard though!
Mari : Of course you didn't... Thank you for helping me out with the shopping.
I smile at them. They are so helpful. I don't know if I would have made it through the pregnancy without them.
Maman : Have you thought of any names yet?
Mari : No, not yet...
Maman : You need to find some ideas. They will be out soon and need names.
Mari : I know. Don't worry!
I get up and go to my room (Papa carries me up the stairs). I get dressed and finish the parcel I need to send to Jagged and Penny. I finished the last outfit for their baby. They told me that they want to name her Harmony. I love that name. I can't wait to meet the little thing.
Once I finish the parcel, I get to work on some of the designs for my own babies. I make mostly dark outfits with little designs inspired by the miraculous.
I spend most of my days like this. I know that I am ready for the exams, so I just spend my time designing.
I still can't believe that these babies will be out in a few weeks.
°Time skip°
I have my exams today and tomorrow. I think I'm ready.
I just hope the babies won't force me to go to the bathroom too often...
Today Morning : Oral exam Afternoon : Philosophy
Tomorrow Morning : English Afternoon : Arts
°Time skip°
My exams went well. I will get my results back in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll get a grade I'm happy with.
My parents baked a huge cake to celebrate. We had a lot of fun. Jagged and Penny came over to celebrate with us. Chloe, Moss, Kagami and Luka will be visiting in a week's time. I can't wait to see them.
My parents are about to show me the nursery. I haven't been in my room in two days now and all I want is to lie in bed.
Papa carries me upstairs. As we enter my room and he puts me down, I notice that, where my chaise once was, are all four cribs. They are lined up against the wall. They repainted part of my room so it could be neutral colors. One wall is still pink though. They hung up a few pictures of us, of the sonograms... It looks amazing.
I hug them tightly and thank them before going to bed. I'm exhausted.
A/N : I'm still looking for the babies' names. I'm looking for original, "powerful" (names that go well with being the children of two powerful heros) , cool, unusual gender neutral names. If you have any ideas, feel free to comment them. If I see one I like, it will end up in the story.
