Marinette stood in the bathroom wearing a crop top that she'd worn only once when she wasn't growing a whole life inside her, but it was to hot for her to be entirely covered, Paris suffering a brutal heat wave and in her pregnant state, she did not want to cover up entirely. Washing her hands after using the restroom she glanced at herself in the mirror noticing her slightly swollen stomach turning to the side she touched it gently, she didn't have anyone to talk to about this, Nathalie didn't have any children, hers and Adriens mothers were both passed, and it wasn't like she could go talk to one of her friends parents about pregnancy.

"Mar? Everything okay?" Adrien called as he walked into the bathroom to check on her, seeing her looking at herself and crossing his arms leaning against the doorframe with a smile. "You know, you don't have to stare at yourself all day." He spoke catching marinette's attention shortly after. The blunette looked at him and smiled softly. "I know it's just weird, there's a whole human in there." Marinette spoke as she gently poked her growing stomach, it might've just been mostly bloating at the moment, but it was beautiful to her.

Adrien chuckled as he walked up to her wrapping his arms around her and kissing her cheek gently, then leading her out of the bathroom to get her back to her online course, turning the air conditioning down in temperature having done enough research to know that Marinette needed the apartment nice and cool for her own comfort. The streets below their apartment were bustling with life, people going to and from work, or they were out shopping enjoying the summer heatwave.
Hearing a knock at the door Adrien went to answer the door, knowing Marinette had to focus on her class, Adrien opened the door seeing his father there with a bag full of seemingly unreleased items from his company.

"I figured with Marinette's condition, she might need some new clothing soon." Gabriel spoke looking at his son, having learned about Marinette's pregnancy at the party just a few weeks ago. "Oh yeah, she's starting to grow out of some of her clothes." Adrien gratefully took the bag, welcoming Gabriel into the apartment. "She's doing her online courses right now, so I'll show these to her later." Adrien walked into the bedroom setting the bag down kissing Marinette's cheek before returning to talk with his father. "So how far along is she now?" Gabriel asked as he took a seat on the sofa. "Well we found out in July, and it's August now, so I'd say like 11 weeks along." Adrien was trying to do the math in his head checking his calendar on his phone, making sure all his math was right before nodding his head. "Yeah, 11 weeks." Adrien confirmed looking at his father.

They talked for an hour before Marinette came out of the bedroom, her hand on her mostly flat stomach as she walked into the kitchen to grab herself a snack and a drink, not realizing that Adriens father was there her mind entirely focused on her mission of food, grabbing an ice cream bar from the freezer she turned her blue eyes widening as she saw Adrien and his father sitting on the sofa in the living room. Rushing back into the bedroom to change out of her shorts and crop top, after stripping of her clothes she relaxed far to much at the cool temperature of the small apartment, her eyes drooping as sleep began to claim her mind and changing body, laying down Marinette fell asleep without issue.

Adrien went to check on Marinette having expected her to return but a small snicker escaped his lips as he saw his girlfriend passed out on the bed in nothing but her bra and underwear. "She won't be joining us for a while." Adrien spoke as he returned to the couch with his father. "Oh? Is she sick?" Gabriel asked looking at his son, a slightly concerned tone to his voice. "No, from what it looks like is she was changing, then pregnancy got the best of her and now... She's out cold." Adrien laughed fondly as he thought back to the mental image of Marinette spread eagle on their bed sleeping soundly. "Pregnancy will do that, Agreste baby's seem to suck the energy out of most women during their pregnancy, did it to my grandmother, my mother, and your mother, seems the tradition continues." Gabriel spoke, showing a typical history within the family that he generally didn't expect to continue.

Summer weared on as the heatwave continued to burn through the city, The couple had been invited to a pool party at the Bourgeois house right before the start of the college school year. Marinette had grown quite a bit in the time since they'd last seen their friends the girl having avoided going out due to her growing stomach, the heat, and her biggest excuse of all, her classes. "Come on Mar, you have to do at least one thing this summer, you can't let all this consume your life, you're starting to forget we're still young." Adrien sat next to Marinette on the couch, he was already dressed in his swim trunks and a loose fitting tank top, ready to go to the party, but Marinette was still in her pajamas, not willing to get off the couch. "Adrien, you go, that heat out there will send me into a fainting spell." Marinette made up an excuse, it wasn't that she couldn't go outside, Adrien knew she just didn't want to, standing up and pulling her to her feet, then to the bedroom Adrien handed her the swimsuit he'd gone and bought for her. "Change Mari, we're going together, not just me, or not going at all, together." Adrien finished going to the bathroom to brush his teeth before they would leave for Chloe's party.

Marinette reluctantly changed, glancing at herself in the mirror as the swimsuit Adrien had gotten her excentuated her growing stomach, being almost halfway to having their baby made her very self conscious of her body, but Alya always told her she looked good, especially for a pregnant lady, but Marinette felt like she had a constant food baby, but in reality everyone knew that it wasn't just a food baby growing inside her, and that thought alone made her self conscious. The swimsuit Adrien had bought her was red with black polka dots, very similar to her old nickname from their soulmate app, grabbing her phone off their bed, she began to reminisce, reading the old messages they'd shared.

Ladybug
"You're a dork, don't you know people don't use cat memes anymore?"

Chat Noir
"Why yes I am buggaboo, but I know they put a smile on your face, so it's worth it to be a little lame."

Ladybug
"A little is an understatement kitty cat."

Chat Noir
"But it's only for you my buggaboo.🌹"

Marinette's face broke into a wide smile as she read the messages, wiping a few stray tears from her eyes, hormones getting the best of her as she continued to read until Adrien came to join her on the bed, one of his large hands finding it's way to her stomach, as he joined her in reading the messages.
"I remember being so nervous you would get mad about me calling you buggaboo." Adrien spoke softly as he gently rubbed marinette's growing stomach, the couple reminiscing together for a couple of minutes before getting up and going to the pool party at Chloe's home/hotel.
