Forced Marriage

Chapter 15: Only You

Marinette hummed as she wandered through the grocery isle, picking some sweet fruits, she heard they were good for the baby. The baby was about as big as a lime by now, she thought as she added fruits and vegetables to the cart.

She strolled through the next isle, grabbing a box of butter and a carton of milk and orange juice. "Excuse me miss?" She heard someone say, she turned around. Her eyes widened as she recognized the man, and the voice.

"L-luka?" She stuttered, being brought before none other than her high school sweetheart. "Marinette, I thought I'd recognized you." He said with a smile, he still had the same old style.

But he did dress a bit more at the maturity of his age. His hair was black, it wasn't dyed anymore and that may have surprised her. Luka without the blue streaks really was surprising. If he didn't have those eyes she wouldn't have recognized him.

"It's good to see you Marinette. What's going on in that world of yours?" Marinette smiled at the thought of Adrien, "Well, I did pursue my designing business. I married Adrien, and I'm actually 3 months pregnant."

It broke her heart to see his expression so shattered, but he deserved to know. She didn't even expect to see him here and she probably should head home soon. "O-oh... You're pregnant? I didn't even notice."

Marinette smiled and placed her hand on her tummy, "Speaking of which, I probably should be home soon. My husband said he'd make dinner this time and I'm curious to see how it'll turn out. But maybe I'll see you around Luka."

He nodded, obviously quite crushed. "Yeah, I'll see you around." Marinette smiled and headed to the check out, leaving behind a completely heart broken Luka. She shouldn't have felt bad, but the smile he gave her just didn't reach his eyes.

Adrien's eyes widened in utter horror, as he immediately pulled away almost as soon as she had kissed him. He wiped his mouth clear of her red lipstick which has smeared across her lips. He had only ever shook her hand as a thank you to her help with the nursery.

"Janet you know damn well I have a wife who's in fact pregnant! And if you think I wouldn't tell her than you're completely wrong!" He was angry , how could she try to ruin a relationship- a marriage- that had a child on the way?

"Well it's now or never for me, and I also know damn well how sexy you are~ under all those clothes that you're wearing anyway... I've seen your shirtless poses in magazines. Doesn't a woman with a protruding belly turn you off?"

Adrien was flaming, his fists clenching, knuckles turning white and he didn't even notice he was digging nail marks into his skin. How dare she speak of his wife that way? "The only turn off I have right now is your fucking loyalty! To my wife and to your husband, which I'll be sure to contact."

"Marinette is an amazing woman, she's beautiful, talented, smart-- hell- she's pregnant! So if you think that I would ever cheat on her with anyone then you're head is way too far up your ass."

Janet looked horrified, obviously not the reaction she was expecting. What she was expecting was a quickie on the couch before his wife had gotten home from the store. Would he really contact her husband?

She was worried she wouldn't be able to convince him this time.

He heard the keys unlock the door before it opened, and Marinette walked in with a couple of groceries. "Hey Janet, didn't expect to see you here. Would you like to stay for dinner?" She asked sweetly, setting the bags of groceries on the counter.

Janet gulped and Marinette turned to look at her, noticing the smeared lipstick on her lips and on her husband's hand. "O-oh..." She said in realization. She couldn't explain the utter pain she felt as something seemed to break inside her.

Her eyes glossed with tears as she looked up at Adrien. His eyes narrowed as he rushed to comfort his wife. "Marinette I promise you nothing happened, let me explain." Janet left in embarrassment, slamming the door.

Marinette immediately broke into tears, was this happening behind her back the whole time? She dropped to the floor, while she was pregnant? Her blood boiled in anger as she clenched her fists.

"Explain what? The lipstick smeared across her lips and your hand?" Marinette asked, Her lips quivering as Adrien pulled her close. "Marinette, she came in while you were at the store. She was asking for you and I told her I'd tell you she stopped by..."

"S-she kissed me... And I promise that was it. I pushed her away and wiped it off my lips, that's why it's on my hand I promise you." Marinette wrapped her arms around him and cried into his shoulder.

"It still hurts..." She said, "I'm pregnant and you're out there with a ton of gorgeous models with the most perfect bodies..." She explained, Adrien looked at her and wiped her tears away, "Marinette I don't care about all them."

"Do you wanna know why?" Marinette gulped and stared at him, "Because they're not you. Your body is just as perfect and I love you so much I could care less. Those are models who are rude and think they're better then everyone else just because they starve themselves."

He leaned his head against hers, "I love you so much Marinette, I didn't know you felt this way... But I promise I never did anything with her or even gave a glance to the models, I love you..." He pulled her back into his embrace and closed his eyes.

"Only you..." He whispered, his grip tightening around her.
