Adrien meets Marinette's parents! Let's see how he reacts, shall we?
I.O.N.
Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jade Turtle led Chat Noir into a small bakery, where a very large man was sitting behind the counter.
After Chat and Gabriel took the oath, Ladybug had given her entire crew the day off, with strict orders to not be seen on the ship again for the next forty-eight hours.
Queen Bee, Rena Rouge, and Paon had immediately set off to find a good place to set up Gabriel. They of course also took the tailor with them, so that they could have his input.
The other patrons of the shop seemed startled at their sudden arrival, but the newly dressed pirate was surprised to note that none of them were scared. The man behind the counter, on the other hand, had a completely different reaction. His smile widened into a broad grin and he motioned for them to wait while he finished up with the last of his customers.
Jade Turtle seemed really excited and Chat Noir couldn't help but be infected by it. From the corner of his mouth, Chat whispered, "So why are we here?"
Biting back a grin, his best friend replied, matching the whisper, "You mean besides the fact that this place has the best food anywhere? You'll just have to wait and see."
Soon enough the patrons bought the items they came for and left only the two pirates, the large man and, once Chat noticed her, a petite woman who had come from the back. The last customer had barely left when Jade Turtle jumped from where he'd been sitting and rush the two.
At first Chat Noir was freaked out, but then he noticed that his friend was hugging the two bakers and not trying to kill them. Breathing a sigh of relief, a moment too soon, Chat almost immediately tensed back up when he heard his name being said.
"And this is our newest pirate, Chat Noir!" Jade Turtle was telling the two. Suddenly nervous, all the pirate could do was wave awkwardly. Laughing the turtle themed pirate told his friend, "Chat Noir, these are my parents, Tom and Sabine."
Instantly more relaxed, Chat replied with the first thing that came to mind, "Really? You don't look...like...either of...them..." then immediately felt like he'd just messed up big time.
But luckily Nino laughed that off too, "Adrien! Chill dude! They adopted me."
Sabine smiled kindly at the obviously distressed boy, "Don't worry about it, my husband and I actually adopted a few other pirates from Tikki when they were still little."
"Who? I never noticed anyone acting like siblings."
"Chloe, for one. Along with Alya, Ella, Etta, Kim, and Alix."
"What about Marinette? From what I've heard she's been part of Tikki's crew for a while."
"No. We did not adopt Marinette."
"Yeah, instead they gave birth to me," Ladybug said, as she slipped inside of the bakery, "Really I was quite disappointed when I kept getting more family who were either all the same age as I was or older."
Jade scoffed, "You're just jealous that we all have so much more style than you."
"Remind me again, who made the outfits?"
"..."
"That's what I thought."
Tom stepped in before the two started in on a three-hour argument about something or other, "Marinette! We weren't expecting you for a few more weeks, what have you been up to?"
As Ladybug explained everything that had happened, Adrien was left to process everything. When it finally did, he caught onto one thing.
"Wait." He began as the bakers and their children turned to look at him, "MARINETTE?!" Chat shrieked before passing out from the confusing thoughts running through his brain.
"Well. That took longer than I thought it would."
"Nino!"
