Marinette POV
Two weeks later and I need to lie down. My back hurts my legs hurt and Adrien is the best. My parents on the other hand called me a whore. They didn't even want me to marry Gabriel and now they act like it was all their plan. The minute they heard I had come into money they were at the tavern demanding it. Because apparently they had looked after me my entire life. I did try and make them see reason but then their eyes landed on my stomach which Adrien had a protective hand over and flounced off. Just then an officer came in, everyone was silent and I greeted him. Adrien slipped into the back room and sat on the bed. I guessed he was from his regiment somewhere when he used to be a French soldier.
Officer: I'd like to buy a drink for every man in this room.
I immediately started counting the men and getting glasses down for everyone. I poured the drinks and then I started handing them round. When he started talking I slipped into the back room and sat with Adrien on the bed. Yes up I unbuttoned my dress and let my swollen stomach breath for a few seconds. When Adrien saw that my dress was unbuttoned he swooped in and started peppering light kisses on my stomach.
Marinette: stop it tickles.
Adrien: no princess. I won't stop I want to show our little kitten how much I love it and it's mother.I rolled my eyes at his silly antics and just let him carry on with what he was doing.
I heard Alya and Nino talking outside and realised that they must want to talk to us. I opened the door to the back room after buttoning my dress back up.
