Adrienette

Chapter 12 - Telling Our Friends

Marinette P.O.V

I woke up to the soind of a door bell. Adrien's arms were wrapped around my waist. I looked over at the clock. It was about 8 am. I carefully removed hus arms and got out of the big bed.

I walked over to the front door and opened it. "Hey Alya. Hey Nino." I yawned and rubbed my eyes. "What are you doing here so early?" I asked and moved out of the way so they could come in.

"We wanted to give you this." She said and handed my a photo. "You guys got a sonogram yesterday, and didn't invite me." I asked in a tempered tone. "Nah I'm just kidding." I said with a giggle. "I'm so happy! How big is it?" I asked and touched her stmoach.

"About the size of a peach." Nino answered. I awed. "I get to be an aunt!" I quietly yelled. They both laughed. I was so excited. I put the photo on the fridge next to a picture of Adrien and his mom.

She stared at my hand. I could tell she was trying to be slick, but failed. I stared at her. "So what's with the fancy ring?" She asked and pursed her lips. "Like you two don't know already." I said and grabbed some crackers from the pantry.

"I honestly don't know." She said and looked at Nino. He shrugged. I coud barely contain my excitement. I felt my face heat up and a blush creep up my face.

"It's an engagement ring." I said and looked her in the eyes. "Are you serious!?" She yelled with uncontrollable excitement. I nodded and had the biggest smile on my face.

"I'm so happy for you!" She said and picked me up. She swung me around in a hug. "Can't . . . Breath." I staggered out. She set me down.

"How did he do it?" Nino asked and crossed his arms.

"We came hom from his photo shoot and all of the lights were off and the curtains were closed. There were a ton of lit candles everywhere. Then he told me how much he loved me and asked me to marry him." I explained.

Alya started to cry. Nino put his hands on her shoulders and kissed her cheek. "Hey what's up?" Adrien asked and walked up to us. He stood behind me and and linked his hands in front of my stomach.

"So I heard that you proposed yesterday." Alya said and raised an eye brow. I felt him nod. "Wait, so who set up all of the candles and stuff?" I asked and peered up at him.

"While we were at the shoot I asked one of the directors assistants to do it." He said and let go of me. "Ohhh." I quietly said and sat on the counter.

"Speaking of assistants, when are Nathalie and your father getting back? It should be any day now." I asked and slightly swung my legs.

"What day is it?" He asked. "Ummm . . . Tuesday." Nino responded. "Day after tomorrow." He sighed. "How long has it been?" Alya asked. I had never really thought about how long it had been.

Even when he was here, he wasn't really here. "Six months." Adrien responded. Really? Has it been six months? It seemed like just 1 month.

"Does he know?" I asked and gestured to my ring. He shook his head in shame. "You didn't tell him!?" Nino asked angrily. "You know how he is!"

"I know! I know! I wasn't thinking about it!" He explained. I laughed at him. "I did ask her father though." He said in a self-pride-y way. "Did you really?" I asked.

He nodded. "Aww. I think he loves you more than me." I said and stood on my tippie toes. I cupped his face with my small hands and pulled him into a kiss.

We pulled away. Alya was making fake gagging noises. "I think you're right, actually. They have more pictures of him than they do of you." Nino said and started laughing.
