The Widow I Love AU by Summer Cheng

Chapter 6 You Better Watch it Agreste

           Oden's  POV:

              Oden recalls how he saw Adrien with Marinette recently. He is not too happy about this at all.  Why should he be when Marinette is his girl, not that blonde boy's girl.

             He thinks I will have to find some way to get her attention. The thing is he is not sure how or when is the best time to approach her.  It is not like she will be alone when she has a child.

          Funny he does not recall any mention of her having a daughter, but plain as day one was with her when she met up with her old friend.

           Oden scowls as he says, "You Better Watch it Agreste if you know what is good for you."

             
           Marinette's POV:

             Marinette knows it has been a few days since she last saw Adrien.
 
                She figures maybe she should see if he minds watching Bethany for her.  This way she can go on a few errands without her daughter tagging along.  For some reason, she feels like it will be better than taking her with her.  

               Marinette grabs her purse, and says to her daughter, "Come on Bethany, let us go see if Adrien can baby-sit you for a bit."

               "Adrien, babysit me, mom I am five," She scowls.

               "Maybe so, but I think that you should stay with him for a few hours," Marinette says.

               "Ok," Bethany states. She thinks the whole thing is odd that her mother should want her to stay at Adrien's all of a sudden.  

                
                Bethany's  POV:
                   Bethany wonders why her mother insists she stays at Adrien's.   She could have asked her grandparents to watch her, right?  So why send her to her friend's house?  She shrugs her shoulders as they head in that direction.

                She smiles as her mom rings the doorbell to the place where Adrien says. To call it a place is a bit of an exaggeration as he has a mansion.  
 
                 "Mom, do you think he is even home?"  Bethany asks.

                 "Bethany, why do you want to find out?"  Marinette asks her.

                Adrien's  POV:
              The door opens and Adrien smiles when he sees them.  

             "Wow, what brings my two favorite girls here?"  Adrien asks.

              "Adrien, could you watch Bethany for a few hours so I can shop by myself?" Marinette asks. She sure hopes this will not be an inconvenience for him.

             "Marinette, I would be glad to keep an eye on her for you," Adrien says with a grin.

               " Oh, thanks Adrien, I owe you one," Marinette says. 
 
                "Sure thing, Mari," Adrien replies with a blush across his face.

              "See you later, mom,"  Bethany says.
 
          Adrien closes the door, locks it and thinks it strange Marinette would request him as a sitter since her parents still live in town.  He thought she would have asked them to take care of her child.  So, why him?

         Marinette's POV:

            Marinette leaves to go on her errands. She arrives safely at the store.  She goes inside with her shopping cart and buys some groceries. Then, she goes to pay for them. When she finishes she heads out to the car. She loads up her stuff and drives off.
