A Masked Mistake

World of our Own [23: Memories]

"And that, my darling girl, was how Maman and papa beat their first villain, the first of many." Chat Noir bent down and placed a kiss onto his daughter's wonderful baby smelling head, taking a deep inhale as he did so. Seriously, if someone had told him babies smelt this good he would have had one a lot sooner.

"I'm not sure that's exactly how it happened?"

He looked over to their bedroom balcony door opening and his Lady returning from patrol. She looked glorious back in her costume, the curves from Emma's presence in her body just made him want her more; the fact she was still breastfeeding was quite the turn on too...not the act! He wasn't into that, but the added bonus of Marinette's...well...

"I think you'll find it was exactly what happened, Emma. Maman just tends to blank some of the story out," he announced, his words taking on that of baby talk, as he ignored Ladybug and spoke to Emma instead. If he wanted to save the damsel in distress from the big rock monster then that was what was going to happen.

The young infant gurgled and made some strange baby noises.

"I knew you'd believe me," he cooed, stroking the back of one finger over her cheek, "that's why you're my favourite."

"Woah," Ladybug vented, moving closer to the snuggled pair, "it only took three months for her to completely replace me as your favourite."

"How cute! Your Maman thought it took months for her to be replaced where you've been my favourite since the moment you were born." He looked into his wife's eyes, his expressive face showing no jest as she rolled her eyes in return. "I love you," he said, pouting towards her in want of a kiss.

"Yeah, well, I kinda like you too." She bent down and pressed her lips to her husbands, before sitting on the arm of the chair. "Why are you suited, Minou?"

"Oh...well, Plagg has been trying to feed Emma Camembert and Xuppu has been stealing her dummy."

"And where's Xuppu?" she asked, looking around the room.

"He's thinking things through on the naughty step,O Plagg was giving me a little too much lip." Chat smiled back, Ladybug letting out a little giggled before pressing a kiss on her daughter's head.

"Well, aren't you just 'the super daddy'. There's me thinking you were purring her to sleep again."

"Nope," he exclaimed, "I told you, we can't keep helping her to sleep. You have to do it yourself, don't you cupcake? Or Maman and papa don't get to have any fun."

"Kitty!" she hissed, only for him to break out laughing, her hand punching him quite aggressively in the shoulder.

"That's animal abuse."

"And that's a joke you've told one too many times." She punctuated the sentence with another jab to his shoulder.

They smiled at each other before turning their attention back to the tiny bundle Chat was holding wrapped in her favourite yellow blanket. She'd just began to smile, and everytime her lips made the tiniest turn upwards his heart broke into a rendition of 'All you need is love'.

"How are you feeling about the weekend?" Ladybug pulled him out of the second chorus and back to reality.

He looked up towards her, his smile (impossibly) elongating even more.

"I can't wait to be back on the court, and having you there is just going to be amazing. I can't believe I finally get to show you off to the world." He was gushing like a teenage boy but he didn't care in the slightest.

"I just wish I wasn't still caring around this kangaroo pouch." She patted her stomach under her costume, and Chat knew how glad she was that Tikki could hide her perfect imperfections. Not only was this weekend a big one for Adrien in terms of playing. It was massive in the fact it was 'The Agreste's' first public appearance, Adrien having both Marinette and Emma by his side.
