Agreste-Wayne?

14

Adrien knew there wasn't anything holding him back from having this conversation now. He was just scared to upset his best friend. He knew it was cowardly, but it was his best chance for this not to turn into a shouting match and upsetting the others.

The new father took a deep breath, as Marinette fed his daughter.

"So, um, Alya found out that the she-devil is a liar." Adrien began, "Nino started talking to her again."

"Nino can do whatever he wants." Marinette stated.

Adrien winced at her tone, "He thinks she wants to apologize. I didn't want to tell you before since we didn't want you stressing out."

Mrs. Wayne looked towards her husband. Damian merely shrugged.

"This was five months ago. He hasn't pressured anything. He just ran into her and Alya asked if he knew that she was a liar." Adrien stated, "She didn't even ask about Emma. The only thing she asked was if he went to your wedding."

Marinette sighed, as Emma continued to eat.

"I'll think about it." she whispered, "It's not like if she apologizes, we'll suddenly be friends again."

"She's fact checking all the stuff Lila said." Adrien replied.

"About time." Marinette answered, as Emma yawned, signaling she was ready for bed.

Marinette adjusted her shirt as Adrien got up to grab his daughter. He placed little Emma's head on his shoulder and gently tapped her back to burp her. Once a small burp was released, he rocked her until her eyes closed. With a smile, he place his princess in her crib.

"Think she'll get it right this time?" Adrien whispered, as they left the room.

"I don't know, Adrien." Mari replied, "I've grown a lot since college. The question is, has she?"

"So, I finally talked to Marinette about Alya." Adrien yawned, as he spoke on the phone, "Marinette feels like she's grown a lot over the years. From the article alone, she feels Alya has some catching up to do."

"I can respect that." Nino replied, "I'm not gonna try and force you to make them talk."

"Baby steps." Adrien answered.

"How are you?" Nino questioned, changing the subject.

The former model groaned, "Sooooooo tired. Mari and I took shifts last night. She pumps so there's a bottle of breast milk, in the fridge, for when I go in there later."

"Hold up." Nino spoke, "Your daughter....has a mini fridge...in her room?"

"Yeah." the new father yawned, "It's filled with breast milk, though. It's not like I got a secret stash of sodas in it."

"I don't care." his friend cried out, "A baby has a mini fridge! I would have dressed up in a diaper and called you 'Daddy' if it meant I got one."

"May-Maybe for Christmas." Adrien laughed, "But, I need to see proof of that diaper."

"Damn. You think they have my size?" Nino asked.

Adrien couldn't help the yawn that broke loose from his smile.

"Where's Mari?" the DJ asked.

"Sleeping." the Agreste man answered, "We're taking shifts. She gets Emma the next time she wakes up and I'll sleep for an hour or two. Damian has the girls, at the park."

"Do you think that's safe?" Nino winced.

"Titus went into guard mode the last time a PR got close to the girls and tried to ask them about Emma. He gave a warning growl and chased them down. Titus got a few playful bites in him, until Damian called him off." Adrien stated, "They tried to sue Damian for grounds of a dangerous animal. Damian called out the reporter for trespassing, harassing his children, and how his charges were more likely to stick. The reporter dropped the charges. Damian even told him how Titus warned him and next time, his dog wouldn't go as easy on him. I think he quit or was fired, after that."

"Damn." Nino said in shock.

"Yeah." Adrien spoke.

Not even a moment later, the baby monitor went off, alerting them to Emma being awake.

"Mari's up, which means I'm going to sleep." Adrien declared.

Nino chuckled, "Night, Dude. Text me when you are up."

"Sure." Adrien answered as he stretched.

Adrien rested his head on his pillow and passed out, immediatley.
