Until I Make You Mine

Chapter 14

Adrien sat slumped over on the hospital bed, his head on his arm as he continued to hold Marinette's hand. He had finally drifted off into a lucid slumber when he was awoken by the feel of Marnette's hand twitching in his. Sitting up, he could see that she had began to stir.

Marinette slowly began to open her eyes. Looking up towards the ceiling, she realised she wasn't in her room. She blinked slowly trying to remember. There was an alarm, the sound had pierced her ears. There was something else? What was it?

"M'lady?" She knew that voice. It's soft sound filled her heart with love and made it skip a beat. She slowly turned her head. Her head hurt. Why did it hurt? Her eyes met his. Those stunning emerald eyes that once held an umbrella out to her in the rain, eyes that told her they loved her, eyes that made her feel safe.

"Kitty." She said softly. A giant weight was lifted off Adrien's shoulders and he let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding.She knew him, she knew all of him. Carefully he stood up and wrapped his arms around her. Tikki and Plagg had also come out to see her. Adrien held her face gently, kissing her softly on the lips.

"I was so scared you wouldn't know me, that your memory would be gone." Marinette smiled at him.

"Silly Kitty." She said, reaching out her hand to touch his face. "In a thousand lifetimes, I will always remember you." Adrien leaned in to kiss her once again before pulling his seat closer in, never letting go of her hand. "What happened? Why am I here?"

"A fire broke out in the building, but that's not what happened to you." Marinette's mind was blank. A fire? She tried to think. Oh yes, that loud piercing noise was the fire alarm.

"What happened to my head?" She asked. Adrien kissed her on the back of her hand.

"I was hoping you could tell me. The surveillance cameras were down so there is no footage, but when Nathalie tried to look for you she found your office door locked and you inside with that hit to the head." Marinette looked at her fiancé with wide eyes. "What do you remember?"

Marinette tried to think. She remembered looking for something in her office, that's right the sketches. Did she find them? Yes, they were in the locked drawer of her desk. She didn't remember putting them there, but no one else had the key to that draw so no wonder they couldn't find them. Nathalie came in, Marinette told her she had found the sketches and Nathalie left with them to give to another department.

"Someone else came to the office." She remembered.

"Who was it." Adrien urged. "Try to remember m'lady, it's important."

Marinette closed her eyes. She desperately tried to picture what happened in her mind. There was a female voice yelling then nothing. Marinettte scrunched up her face trying to force her memories, but it was no use and she began to cry. "I can't remember." She wailed, holding her head.

"Hush now my love." Adrien comforted, sitting on the edge of the bed, he gently cradled her in his arms. "We'll figure out something, I'm sure we will." Marinette stopped crying as Adrien wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Adrien, there was something I wanted to tell you about, something important for us." Adrien's face broke out into a broad grin.

"I know." He whispered, pressing his forehead to hers as he brought his hand to rest on her belly. "Plagg told me and the doctors said everything is alright." Marinette let out a sigh of relief that everything was fine, a small smile on her face at the joy in his eyes. "I'm so happy Marinette, and I love you so much."

It was still very early in the morning. The nurses came to check on Marinette and Adrien messaged Alya and Nino that she was awake and alright. They decided to keep their little secret to themselves for now, at least until they get to tell Marinette's parents first. Not long after there was a soft knock on the door. Adrien was more than a little surprised to see Alix walk in.
