"Get dunked on!" Alya exclaimed, slamming her hands on the cafe table.
   "All of you! Twenty gwap right now!" She jutted her finger towards Nino, and Marinette.

Adrien glanced up at the female, completely dumbfounded. He quite enjoyed when the gang joined him on his lunch break.
   It was nice to have familiar faces to see when he was constantly having to dodge Lilas advances.

He shook his head as Alya did a little dance, grabbing the bills Marinette and Nino slapped on to the table.

On second thought, perhaps some alone time would have been nice as well.

"Whats that about?" Adrien asked, eying his friends as Alya folded the bills and slipped them into her back pocket.

"I bet that Marinette wouldn't tell to Nino, and I bet to Marinette that you'd react well to it." Alya chuckled, shaking her hips in another victory dance

Marinette rolled her eyes, cracking a small smile. Nino nudged Adrien who flailed his arms and looked at his friends.

"You made bets at my expense? You guys are probably the worst friends I've ever had." Adrien retorted, scooting his chair away from Nino as Nino wrapped his arms around him.

"No, we love you!!" Nino protested, pressing a kiss to Adrien's cheek to which he playfully batted him away.

"At your expense..." Marinette pouted, looking at her fiance. "I'm the one that's pregnant."

Nino turned to look at her.

"He doesn't get it. So disrespectful, right?" Nino chimed, immediately pushing Adrien away and clinging on to Marinette.

Alya snorted, raising her phone up to snap a photo of the two.
Nino obnoxiously smiled for the photo, which Adrien photobombed.

Marinette yawned. She still had a full day of work to complete. She had to admit she was a little jealous that Adrien got to leave shortly after, but aside from her not getting sleep lately, her life seemed pretty rewarding.

"I'm gonna grab some more tea" the blunette yawned once more, shrugging out of Nino's and Adrien's grip.
     "I'll be back..."
Nino slipped his hand off her shoulder and allowed Marinette to excuse herself.

"Are we hoping for a girl this time?" Alya interjected, looking at both of the boys across from her. "I think it'll be cute for Louis to have a baby sister."

   Adrien smiled at the thought.
To have a little princess who looked just like his queen. He'd adore his Mini Marinette as much as he adored his mini self. Louis was almost a spitting image of himself, and not to make himself feel anymore narcissistic, he did feel within the deepest parts of him that he and Marinette did a great job on him.

Adrien shrugged.
   "It sounds like a good idea... but its not up to me. Whatever happens, happens. Regardless of the gender I'm grateful for a healthy wife and a healthy baby."

Alya glanced over at Nino with a small smile. The girl blushed, she was truly happy for her friend and wished that perhaps, she'd be the one sharing this kind of news with her friends someday

"Technically it is up to you-" Nino interjected, looking at Adrien.

Adrien furrowed his brow. "What?"

"The baby's gender..." Nino clarified. "Technically the female already holds the x chromosome. What ever chromosome the male releases is what determines the gender of the baby. The chromosome is determined the moment the cells are released and received. So your argument is invalid."
