Adrien groaned at the magazine cover with him and Riley on it. He's been trying to keep them from Marinette and caught this one just in time before she could even see it. Sabine and Tom say they should do what makes them happy for the baby so they're still debating on aborting it. He threw it into a nearby trash can and leaned against the wall, waiting for Riley since they had a 'date' today. Marinette was at home resting after they went to another doctors appointment. They still don't know the gender but should in a months time.

"Sorry I'm late." Riley smiled as she walked up to him. She wore her brown hair in a braid with flowers tucked in wherever they could in it. A fake flower crown, a white crop top with a pink flower on the breast pocket, black high waisted shorts and brown ankle boots.

"I-it's fine." Adrien shuddered. He just wore a green tank top, baggy jeans and black tennis shoes. Nothing like her outfit. They walked a few blocks and she tried to act like a couple but he kept brushing her off.

"You okay?" Riley asked as they sat down at a bench in the park with ice cream and sodas.

"No I'm not."Adrien harshly spurred out making Riley wince at his tone. "Sorry it's just that I have a girlfriend, a real girlfriend, and I've been trying to keep this away from here."

"Wow." Riley chuckled.

"A-actually she's my fiancée." Adrien rubbed the back of his neck. Riley inhaled sharply. "Yeah."

"How old are you?"

"I should ask you the same question." Adrien laughed. "I'm 18 and going to be 19 in a few months."

"I'm 17." Adrien lifted a brow. "Why don't you tell her this is a publicity stunt and we're not dating so she can read magazines."

"All she wants to do is complain and fight and even when I know I'm right, I always come back with flowers and to tell her everything is okay."

"That is super sweet of you." Riley patted his back. "You should probably get back to her soon."

"Yeah." Adrien stood up and him and Riley went their separate ways. He walked to the apartment and walked in, being greeted by a magazine landing at his feet. "What's this?" Adrien picked it up and his face went pale.

"What's that all about?" Marinette crossed her arms while Tikki sat on her shoulder, pissed off and Plagg didn't do anything since he didn't want to get into their stuff.

Adrien read the headline and nearly passed out. Adrien Agreste and Riley Harts, The Perfect Couple! Marinettes face was full of anger and hatred.  "I-I-I-" Adrien didn't know what to say to this. He hoped she would never find out.

"What is that Adrien?" Marinette scrunched up her face. "What is that!" Adrien didn't know what to say."Are you seeing another girl behind my back!"

"No! I would never do that to you!"

"But you did it anyway!"  Marinette raised her voice and held back tears.

"It's not real Marinette. I would never cheat on you!"

"But you did!" Tears slide down her face.  "You did it! I thought you loved me!"

"I do love you! What I have with her is fake! My Father had us-"

"I'm done with your excuses!" Marinette shouted at the top of her lungs.

"They're not excuses!" Adrien yelled back.

"You don't love me!"

"Yes I do!" Adrien yelled.  "I love you with all my heart!"

"No you don't!" Hot tears streamed down her face. "If you don't love me-"

"You're right! I don't love you!" Marinettes heart shattered. "I admire you! You are my queen!"

"Stop lying to me!"  Marinette stormed into the bedroom and grabbed a bag under the bed.

"What're you doing!" Adrien yelled as he followed her in.

"I'm leaving." Marinette sniffled as she put her clothes in the bag. Tikki sat with Plagg on the pillow, letting the two sort it out.

"No you're not." Adrien grabbed her arm.

"Let go Adrien. Don't make this harder on yourself." Tears hit her clothes resting in her bag.  She tore her arm out of Adriens grasp and finished putting her stuff in and closed it.

She walked to the door and Tikki flew with her. They had to go with their holders, no matter what. "You're not going anywhere."  Adrien grabbed her by her shoulders and turned her around. "I love you and only you."

"Bullshit! You never loved me!" Tears streamed down her face.  She pulled away from his grasp, opened the door and slammed it shut. She stormed down the corridor and out of the building, all with Adrien shouting at her, pleading for her, begging her to come back but she didn't.

She stormed home and collapsed on the doorsteps to the kitchen and stairs up to her room. She cried into her hands. Sabine heard the crying and opened the door and helped her daughter up.  "Marinette what happened?"
