Luka's PoV
I feel Chloe get up in the middle of the night.
"Chlo?"
"Hmm?"
"Wh-where are you going..."
"I'm hungry...I need something cheesy..."
"Ohh, let me..."
I get up and she sits at the table.
Humming, I pull out some cheese and quickly heat it up to make a fondue. Then I grab a baguette and slice them into small pieces like croutons before frying them gently.
"Thanks Luka..." Chloe yawns.
She digs into the food when she suddenly drops her fork.
"What's wrong?"
"M-my waters broke..."
"Wh-what?! At 1 in the morning?!"
She nods.
I run about to find towels and then then under her. She takes my hand, "we need to go to the hospital!"
"I can call the midwife instead. It might be quicker..."
She shakes her head.
I nod understandingly and move her out the house and into the car.
I hear her deeply breathe.
"L-Luka..." I hear her whimper, "I-I'm scared..."
"Don't worry bee, I'm right here. We are almost there."
We enter through the A&E part and they immediately get her into a room.
"Mr Couffaine, will you join us or-"
Chloe cries, "NO!"
"Ok,ok, take deep breaths...Mr Couffaine, Mrs Bourgeois, I would recommend him joining us."
Chloe nods as the contractions calm down.
I join her after quickly texting everyone on the group chat.
LUKA: EMERGENCY! CHLOE IS IN HOSPITAL. NOW.

Adrien's PoV
"Did you...hear...that?" Mumbles Marinette.
I mumble back, "the kids?"
"Mmmmm, no...it was my phone...EEK!" She suddenly exclaims.
"What?"
"Chloe's in hospital. LIKE NOW."
"And is everyone going?" I ask.
Marinette nods, "yeah..."
"What do we do?"
Marinette gets up, "I'll tell you what we do. When I gave birth to Emma and Louis, who came to the rescue? Chloe. So now, what am I going to do? I'm going to take one of the kids with me and I'm going to JOIN THEM because that's what friends would do, am I right Adrien?"
I grumble, "but it's-"
"No buts! But~~~," she giggles, "I promise to make it up to you."
I smile, "I like the sound of that princess."
"Mmm hmm," she giggles, "come on!"

We walk into the nursery and I pick up Emma. Marinette picks up Louis. We put them in their baby seats and walk to the car.
I drive us to the hospital whilst Mari sits in the back, watching them carefully.

Once we arrive we see ALL OF OUR FRIENDS.
"Guys!" Alya beams.
"Shhh!" I hush them, "we had to bring the kids."
Marinette yawns as she places Louis' seat on the floor.
"You ok princess?"
"Just a bit tired-"
Just then a scream comes from the doors and Marinette jolts.
"Whoah," Adrien says, "you ok?"
"Yeah, just a bit, hnghh, yknow?"
I laugh, "yeah...who would've thought that I'd be more awake than you if you compared when we woke up."
"Oh shush," she giggles.
Another scream echoes the hallways and everyone nervously waits. Alya brings her kid, Noah over.
"Hey Noah..." Marinette coos as she picks up Emma, who woke up.
Noah giggles as he lays eyes on Emma.
"Emma is a beauty isn't she," Alya says.
I frown, "doesn't mean I'll let just ANYONE sweep her off her feet..."
Noah looks at me, and cries.
I pout and Marinette pats my shoulder, "it's ok...don't worry..." then she bursts into laughter.
Alya joins in until, yet again, Chloe screams again from the other room because of the pain.

Time: 9 am
We finally hear the cries of a baby after falling asleep and waking up. Juleka and Rose has brought food for us, of course.
We hear Chloe and Luka crying with joy and the baby's cry. The doctor comes out.
"We assure you, Chloe is fine."
"And the baby?"
"...he is fine as well..."
"Why did you pause?"
"Well, we are not 100% sure because the final push was quite sudden but he should be fine. We've had many pregnancies where that has happened..."
Everyone let's out a sigh of relief and Mari and I lean into eachother, whilst Emma and Louis watch us with curiosity.
"Guys..." a voice says.
We look and see Luka, who's hair was EXTREMELY messy.
"Omg, Luka..."
"I'm fine," he smiles, "I'm fine..."
Curling up in a ball on the seat, he says, "I just...need to deal with the fact that I'm a dad now..."
I gulp and see everyone is watching him.
"Hey, Luka, take a walk with me..."
"guys, don't go in, ok? Let Chloe rest."
They nod.

"Dude...I know exactly what you're going through..."
"Mmm?" He weakly asks.
"Heck yeah. I mean, I have two kids of my own...don't I? TWO. From 0 to 2. All because of my stupid twin genes as well...but they're both still beautiful and my sweet Marinette, she is beautiful too...I just, want you to know that although it's a BIG moment, you'll be fine...because there'll be tears of pain and tears of joy..."
I look at Luka who starts to cry.
"Dude..." he whimpers, "I'm so scared..."
I smile as I hug him, "it's ok...I was too..." I sniff, "hey, you're gonna make me cry."
(A/N: not gonna lie, almost cried writing this. THE FEEEELS! 😭)
We walk back and everyone worryingly asks, "hey, why was Luka crying?"
"Adrien what did you say-"
"Don't worry guys," Luka wipes his tears, "I'm fine. I'm going to check on Chloe, ok?"
They nod and he goes in.

Luka's PoV
How embarrassing...I've never cried like that before...ughhh...
"Luka...it's really hot..." Chloe murmers.
"S-Sorry bee!"
"It's ok..."
I slightly open the window and turn the heating low.
"You rest bee, it's been 8 and a half hours..."
She nods, "you too..."
"Everyone came to see if you were alright..."
"They did? Can you open the door slightly so I can see them?"
I nod and open the door wide. Everyone sees her and waves.
I smile as she tears up and waves.
"Wait, where's mom and dad, and Anarka?"
"They'll come later, your parents were actually in Versailles and mom said that she'll go when the your parents go so, yeah..."
Marinette taps my shoulder, "hey, we're all gonna head out. It's quite early... We love you Chloeeeee!"
"Love you too!" She laughs weakly.
As they leave, I close the door.
"Luka...I did want another kid but...maybe we should put it off for a while, hmmm?"
I nod, "I agree bee, I can't believe that we're parents now..."
"Me too..."
