  Adrien groaned in his sleep.
  He felt entirely too warm. The bed sheets scrunched at his hips, and it was only then that Adrien remembered he was completely naked underneath.

Worried that Louis could have stumbled in some time during the night, he gripped on to the bedding and hoisted it up past his hips. He blindly reached for his love, searching the space beside him eagerly. His heart sank and a small frown grace his lips as the bedside turned up empty. He lifted his head from the pillow, squinting in the sunlight.
   The sun rays were warm against his back, and from the looks of it, Louis was still asleep.
The model sat up and ran his hand through his hair, yawning.
Adrien assumed Plagg was in Louis' room, evading he and Marinette's intimate moment the night before. She glanced over at the pillow, flopping down on it as he couldn't be bothered with getting up. He had a few photoshoots to attend to, and Adrien was dreading it.
He was tired of dealing with Lila. He had to tell her off many times before, but it appeared that all of it was in vain.

She never stopped. Nothing he did got her to stop. It got to the point where he just didn't want to attend work.

It was poor pay considering what he had to go through.

The blonde furrowed his brow, feeling a paper like texture underneath his cheek. He pulled back, squinting at a note that was left on the pillow Marinette had been on the night before.

   "Out to the doctor's.
Can't wait to confirm our little one. I'll be back in time for dinner.

                     Love you. ❤

                      Marinette "

Adrien glared at the note. He subtly rolled his eyes. He hated how their schedules began to conflict lately. That was an appointment he wanted to be there for.

He couldn't be there for Louis' appointment. He was kept a secret Adrien didn't even know Louis existed until it was nearly time for him to be brought into this world.

He needed this time to be different. He wanted to be there for every single appointment. He wanted to see the first ultrasound, the first heartbeat, the first everything.

It ached his heart to know he missed all of that when it came to Louis, but he knew he'd be there for all his firsts after that.

He was going to be a be a better father than his own.

Adrien climbed out of bed, keeping his sheet tied around his waist as he dug for some clothes.

He had enough time to get dressed, bathe Louis and perhaps enjoy a nice bonding breakfast with his son.

    He had a bit of an off feeling about work, but he brushed it aside, not wanting to focus on that, but to focus on caring for his wife and his son.

  He missed her.

He missed her terribly.  He wondered why he was so attached all of the sudden. He knew she was more than likely pregnant, and he was definitely attached to the idea of them having another child.

He was also marrying her, and quite protective of her and her feelings. Something in his gut only told him that he felt so antsy because he really didn't want to be at work.

He enjoyed modeling to an extent, but he was older, he had an actual family that he felt warm and welcomed to. He was growing interested in other things. With the nuisance of Lila hovering about and around, it made the job sour and quite monotonous.
Anywhere would have been better than where he was.
