Miraculous: Marinette's Promise (Book Three Of the "Marinette's Baby" Series) ✔

Preface

   It was a daunting kind of sadness.
The look in his green eyes told stories, years and years of memories.
Memories of his mother that would not fade, and the years of solitude. He couldn't count how many times he sat in front of a cold meal, with no one there to talk to him, to guide him, to simply be there for him. His father had grown cold to him. The rare moments where he would be held, be spoken to, be guided or even was acknowledged was such a rush. The rare contact would make his heart palpitate more than anyone could have imagined.
    Overtime he'd try to get used to the lonely and accept it because when he lost his mother, he lost his father as well.

Adrien wasn't familiar with making new friends, he didn't know much about the outside world, and despite the many people who did adore him and call him an inspiration, there was a voice deep down that told him he was worth just as much as what his father treated him.

Nothing

He was nothing. He felt like nothing, he believed he was nothing. For a moment he truly believed that this was what was in the end for him.

But that all changed when he met her.

The very innocent glance she'd send him would wash away all the lonely he felt. The small smile she'd give him eased his pain, and the sound of her voice was enough to ease his soul.
She came into his life in a whirlwind of romance and for the first time in his life, he was happy. She was what he needed and just like that, she gave him a son. They created a family he never thought he deserved to have.

She made the impossible, possible.

But this was his face....the face of lonely.

"Are you alright?" Marinette asked, placing her hand on to his shoulder.

Her voice immediately deterred his train of thought as he glanced down at the photo of himself in his youth.

Marinette felt concern for him. It had been a year or two since they graduated, but there was a feeling inside of her that worried Adrien was stuck.

"Yeah...I was just...thinking." Adrien chuckled, placing the photo back on his desk.

Marinette nodded and she leaned on him. Her arms wrapped around him, and she parted her lips as her heart pounded within her chest. She gently caressed his hips with her leg, and the lace of her sleepwear brushed against her upper thigh.
"I finally finished setting up Louis' room." She murmured into his neck.
    "He's going to be so excited when he sees it."

Adrien bit his lip, listening to her words as she spoke. Most of the bedrooms in their new homes were set up to a more home like feeling. They wanted their son to be comfortable. He was so used to bouncing between Adrien's home and Marinette's home. But this was a new adjustment for the little one, this was a home all on their own.

    Adrien carefully reciprocated the embrace, his arm dipped around her waist and tugged her closer.

"You're an artist, Marinette." The blonde whispered, turning his face and brushing his lips at the edges of her mouth.
"Louis has an amazing mother. I'm glad I chose you for my first time." He finished off with a tease, his lips stretching into a smile.

Marinette snorted, and she turned her head as well, capturing his lips briefly in a sweet kiss.

"You just knew me as Ladybug. You didn't know I was her." She murmured against his lips as she wrapped her arms around him.

"If anyone was Ladybug..." Adrien interjected, bringing his face to hers.
   "I'm glad it was you I fell in love with..." he finished off with a kiss, pressing his lips to hers.

Marinette was breathless, the way he handled and kissed her was enough to sweep her off her feet.
  She immediately kissed back, her body shivering as she tangled her fingers in his dark locks.
She wasn't a teen in school anymore, she was older, she was here with him and she knew how to hold her own.
   The room was silent, nothing could be heard but their laboured breathing as the kiss deepened and the sounds of their lips whispering in perfect  synchronization.

"Beautiful"  ...

     was the first word that came to Adrien's mind once his hands began to travel up her body, gripping the lace of her dress and withdrawing it.

"Warm" ...

     was what Marinette thought of when he carefully carried her to their bed and lay her down flat against it.

  
"Happy" ...

    was what they both felt as their bodies were soon entangled in a passionate embrace.

The blunette breathed out the monent their lips separated and Adrien placed his lips on her skin. His tongue danced across her collarbone with a languid movement.

He was careful not to leave marks, as she was supposed to be starting a fashion program soon and didn't want to leave any marks.

Her digits soon found themselves in his golden locks once more the moment he sucked very lightly on her neck. She bit her lip when he pressed a gentle kiss to the area.

Marinette liked how they had made time for one another. After having the mishaps with Nathan that stemmed because they barely spent time together and Marinette's trepidation, they have learned significantly how important it was to be with one another.

With planning the wedding, Adrien starting a new modeling contract and Marinette starting a new program, their life occasionally got hectic. Parenting Louis wasn't any easier, but they managed to find a good center.

Her heart pounded against her chest,  and her hands loosened their grip from his hair once he began to ascend towards her face.
Green eyes sought hers, and his thumb brushed over the soft display of freckles across her face.
The blush matched with one another as it began to crawl over both their faces.
     "Hey~" Adrien teased, playfully wiggling his brows.

Marinette snorted, trembling underneath him in a swarm of giggles.

Adrien took in that moment, drinking in every aspect of her adorableness in complete adoration for his Queen underneath him.

She really was a beautiful angel.
