This is the last time you tell me I've got it wrong.
This is the last time I say, "It's been you all along."
This is the last time I let you in my door.
This is the last time I won't hurt you anymore.
This is the last time I'm asking you this,
Put my name at the top of your list.
This is the last time I'm asking you why,
You break my heart in the blink of an eye.

A/N: The last chapter is in sight </3.

10 week, 4 days later.

Nathalie, Gabriel and baby Noelle had finally made it home after two long, agonizing months.

Yesterday, everyone had come over and set up a dinner for them, they brought gifts and spent time with the new baby and her parents.

Now they were finally alone and snuggled up on the couch, Adrien had kindly offered to put Timothée to bed so they could relax.

Gabriel was sitting comfortably on the couch with one arm behind his head and the other around Nathalie who was cuddled to his chest, in a little cot infront of them was Noelle who was sleeping peacefully as they watched a movie, on very low volume, however.

"Mr. Agreste...?" Came a squeaky voice from in the corner.

"Shh!" Gabriel shushed instinctively, scared to wake the peaceful baby that had already begun fussing.

Nathalie leaned over the cot and patted her baby on the back while shushing softly.

Gabriel pecked Nathalie on the cheek before getting up and walking over to Leila.

"What do you want, Leila?" Gabriel's voice was hard, cold.

"I just wanted to talk...I mean, I thought we had something, especially since you let me be Mayura and you're letting me stay....and you, you kissed me."

Nathalie tried to suppress her gasp as she overheard what Leila said, she was right, Gabriel did cheat.

She hurriedly lifted up Noelle who begun to fuss again, her face scrunched up like she was ready to cry.

"Shh, sweetheart. It's okay, I've got you." Nathalie whispered as she placed the baby on her shoulder and put a blanket over her body.

Nathalie quickly rushed off, careful not to tear her stitches as she did so, all while patting little Noelle on the back.

"Stop the nonsense, Leila. You know we didn't kiss, and don't ever refer to yourself as Mayura again. You will never be Mayura, and you will never be my wife. Now get the hell away from me and my family.

"Fine, but I still got what I wanted." Leila smirked and pointed over to where Nathalie and Noelle were supposed to be.

"Jesus, Leila. What have you done?!" Gabriel cursed, running off to go and find Nathalie.

Gabriel eventually found Nathalie on the phone with Penny, hiding away in her old room with Noelle laying on her back on the bed, fast asleep.

"Nathalie, honey..." Gabriel whispered as he stepped into the room.

"Penny, I gotta go, I'll call you back later." Nathalie whispered, into the phone before hanging up.

Gabriel walked up to her and tried to cup her face in his hand, she quickly rejected the touch and closed her eyes, tilting her face away from his hand.

"Nathalie, please let me explain."

Nathalie became visibly mad so before she did anything she quickly took up Noelle and brought her up to Adrien's room.

Upon her return, she began tell him off.

"Explain what, Gabriel?! The fact that you cheated on me and then came to me and acted like everything was normal?!"

"I just don't understand how I let you do this to me again, Gabriel! First with Emilie and I and now with Leila."

"You just love your assistants don't you, what is it some type of fetish, speak up Gabriel!" She yelled, but not too loud as to not wake up Noelle.

"Nathalie, Nathalie, calm down." Gabriel moved closer to her and tried to cup her face.

Nathalie was quick to slap his hands away.

"Don't touch me!"

"Nathalie, my love, please just let me explain."

"Go on, I would love to hear this one." Nathalie rolled her eyes.

And so Gabriel explained, which only got Nathalie even more upset.

"So she's a psycho! I warned you from the day I got home from the hospital the first time to check her credentials!"

"I'm sorry, you were right." Gabriel sighed.

Nathalie's anger faded when she saw the look on his face and her eyes softened.

"I'm sorry for yelling like that..." She whispered.

"No, you had every right to yell, I'm sorry too, my love." Gabriel smiled, cupping her face in his hands.

He pressed his lips to her forehead and she closed her eyes, savoring the feeling.

"I love you." Nathalie whispered.

"I love you more." Gabriel grinned.

"I love you most." Nathalie grinned back.

"Impossible." He smirked before leaning in for a passionate kiss.

Nathalie wrapped her arms around his neck and tangled her fingers in his hair.

Gabriel placed one hand on her waist and the other on the back of her head.

Just as Gabriel pushed her down onto the bed a knock came from the door.

Gabriel and Nathalie groaned simultaneously.

"Yes?" Nathalie called.

"Uh, it's me, I've got Tim and Elle here, they both woke up... Tim had a nightmare and I think Elle needs her diaper changed." Adrien spoke through the door.

Nathalie and Gabriel erupted in laughter.

"We're coming, son." Gabriel chuckled.
