"Mari, wake up, we should get going home now." Kim advised. "W-What do I tell Hugo?" She asked tears rolling down her puffy cheeks. "Nothing, lets just go get you changed." He said taking her hand. She dried her tears and looked at her boyfriend laying life less on the bed.


"Mommy?" Hugo questioned seeing blood on her hands. She couldn't bear to look at him, she just sucked up her tears and walked upstairs.

She took off her dress, and undid her hair, before scrubbing his blood off her hands. "Oh God." She sobbed gripping the sink.

She hurried to the toilet and grabbed the edge as she puked out her lunch. Paxton came in and held her hair back, rubbing her back in circles. 

"Do you want water or anything?" He asked as he threw a robe over her, as she only wore a bra and her underwear.

She shook her head and leaned up against the wall running her hand through her hair.

"I-I couldn't tell Hugo." She whispered. "How am I supposed to tell a little boy his father is... gone? How am I to explain to my unborn child t-that I couldn't protect t-their father? I'm a failure." She hung her head in her hands and cried loudly.

"You are pregnant?" He asked. She nodded, clutching her stomach. "I can't do this, not without him." She wept. "Mari we are here for you okay, we'll help like we always have-"

"I need my boyfriend! I need Adrien! You all aren't the same, you don't love me like he does a-and his children need their father." She yelled and Paxton sighed. "I'm sorry I shouldn't yell at you..." she whispered.

"It's okay, what do you want us to do." He asked.

"C-Can you ask Gabriel to take Hugo please." She asked. He nodded and got up.

Marinette then got up and went back to her room. "I can't keep crying like this, stress isn't good for you." She whispered rubbing her small baby bump. "Lets just get through the night first..." she fixed the robe on her body and laid down on the bed. 

It was dark, empty, silent, his legs wasn't intertwined with hers, his hand wasn't drapped over her, she couldn't feel his breathing on her neck.

She tossed and turned in her bed, trying to find a comfortable spot on the bed. 

She got her huge fluffy pillow and placed it between her legs, she laid on it, hugged it, but nothing worked. It became obvious that Adrien, was the only thing that could calm her down to put her into a peaceful slumber.



Two days later...

"Has anything new come up?" Paxton asked. "Well-" Kim started "Mari!" Paxton rushed to her side and picked her up and placed her on the sofa. "You are weak, you can hardly stand up straight, are you sleeping okay?" He asked tying her hair up in a ponytail.

She shook her head and sniffled. "I-I can't." She whispered. "Blue, I know it must be hard but Adrien would want you taking care of yourself, and your baby, these things are important. Can someone get her something to eat." He ordered. Two of them got up and walked into the kitchen.

"H-Have you seen Caleb? I haven't seen him since the incident." She asked weakly.

"No, I can get a hold of him if you want." He spoke up. "Thank you." She replied.



Later that day...

"I heard you were asking for me." Caleb spoke up. "Yeah, I was worried when you left. A-Are you okay." She asked.

"No, I'm not okay, none of this shit is fucking okay, this wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to get shot, you weren't supposed to be alone and pregnant again, another child is not supposed to grow up without their father, this is fucked up." He yelled and she jumped from his sudden outburst.

He watched the tears fall from her bowed head, she quickly wiped them and he cursed internally.

"Marinette I'm sorry." He said sitting down next to her on the bed. "I-It's fine and you are right... this wasn't supposed to happen." She whispered.

"I am making you suffer again, I messed up... I was supposed to protect your family, I failed you, I failed him, Your children... I failed Christian... I'm a fucking screw up." He whispered back.

"What?! No, no Caleb, this is not your fault, this is no one's fault but Lila and you are so much better compared to her, you did your best-"

"What if I didn't and Lila hurts someone else, what if she hurts my family, I can't let that happen-" 

"Well don't let it happen, we find Lila and we end this, once and for all. She has caused us too much pain already. You shouldn't have to raise your family in fear." She replied.

"Thank you for taking care of me." He smiled. "No, thank you for taking care of my family, without you, I would have never made it this far, and my beautiful son wouldn't have been here. Now go get that bitch and make her pay." She said narrowing her eyebrows...
