Miraculous One-Shots

A Day of Happiness and Death

Marinette would have killed to meet Emma.

Marinette had died the day she was born, making Adrien a single father. The doctor told him her body was put on too much pressure and she had lost too much blood. He had lost his love, and gained a new one all in one day. 

Her last words often ring in his ears as he watched their daughter grow up. 

"I love you, My kitty. I always and forever will."

Emma was 14 now. She had bright blue eyes and an affectionate smile. Her blonde hair often shags in her eyes. Her aunt Alya told her, often growing up, that she was a perfect mix of both her parents. 

Today was Emma birthday. She was turning the age 15. Not only was it her birthday but it was also the anniversary of Marinette's death. Emma and Adrien have a tradition. Each year, They would visit Marinette's grave. Adrien would always put down a bouquet of red roses. She had learned that back when they were Ladybug and Chat Noir, he would alway give her roses to symbolize their love.

Emma was about to get ready to go to the cemetery when something fell out of her closet, a little box filed with a letter. 

A letter with her name on it....

Dear my Emma,
If you are reading this, it is your 15 birthday. I'm so happy to know you are okay. I never told your father but the doctors told me that I might not make it. I still wanted to continue with my pregnancy if only to leave your father with some piece of me. I hope your okay, my sweet girl. I hope that you have your father eyes. They were always my favorite feature on him. 

I want you to have something of mine too. By the time you read this, you will be 15. I was the same age when I felt entire world fall upon my shoulders. I'm sure Adrien, my sweet love told you how we fall in love as Ladybug and Chat Noir. Those were the best years of my life. Just being able to soar the world with only a yoyo. I only had one anchor and that was your father. I loved him, and I hope you know that I love you too. 

This box is something that honors our love. How our destiny was written in the stars and engraved in the rain. It would lead you to a secret as old as time. The combination colors are light yellow, yellow, orange, and green. There, you will press the Ladybug symbol. In there you will see a very special pair of earrings. 

I love you, My Emma. 

Tell your father that I miss him (even though he is sitting right next to me snoring) very much and I love him more than he will ever know. 

Love, Marinette. 

Emma had forgotten about the box that had also fallen. She picked it up. It looked like a pink picnic basket where you could simply stash your treats. 

Emma pushes the top open and it shows her a bunch of colored buttons. 

'Huh,' she thought. 'This is what her mom meant by color combination.' 

She pushed all the buttons. She then saw what her mom had meant what the Ladybug symbol. Pressing it slowly, came above was two earrings. They were a strange ladybug themed. Emma could just imagine, with all the stories of her mom being a fashion designer, she had a liking too to being Ladybug and the dots

She opened the box and out came a burst of bright light. 

There stood, in all her tiny glory, a little Ladybug kwami. 

Emma screamed.

Adrien, to his credit, was trying to have a regular day. 

He was planning on visiting his wife gravestone. It hurt so much just to know she is gone. She had risked her entire life to give him a new one. He misses just being able to hold her in his arms. He misses being able to kiss her, like actually kiss her, letting the day stress flood past him just enveloping him in her love. 

He was trying to drink his tea. That was until he heard his daughter scream. 

He put down his tea and ran up the stairs. His mind was racing. 

'Why did she scream? Is she okay? What if I can't protect her like Marinette?' 

He reached the stairs, out of breath. He ran to her bedroom and flung the door open. 

If you ask him later what was going on in his mind, he would tell you that he wasn't able to even have a coherent thought. 

There stood his young daughter frozen in fear, her eyes fixated on something in the middle of the room. 

Tikki flew around to him. 

"Oh, Adrien. Look how much you've grown." Her tiny voice echoing over the silent room. 

Emma screamed again. 

Adrien rubbed his teary eyes. Tikki came up and kissed his cheek. 

Adrien couldn't process what was going on. His dead wife's kwami was right in front of him and his daughter had the earrings that changed his life on. 

Emma took off the earrings. 

Tikki had vanished just like that. 

"Papa," she exclaimed. "What was that thing?"

Adrien, who was still in some form of shock held out his hand. The silver ring glistened in the light. . 

"Emma, I think you are the new guardian of Miraculous." 

Hi everyone. Thank you for loving these stories. I love writing them for you. I hope you have an amazing day.
