A/N: Here is the next chapter! This is the one where Marinette tells Luka and Juleka about their dad. Don't you also love how Juleka and Luka look in the picture above? Hope you like this chapter!


I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing. I turn over in my bed and see that I woke up early once again! RECORD! I get out of bed and go to my bathroom. I brush my teeth,  take a shower, and change into my normal outfit and instead of putting my hair in pigtails, i put it in a long ponytail. I have decided to grow my hair out. Even though it didn't grow out much. I grabbed my backpack and my pills and bandages for my injuries and I go downstairs. I see only Blythe and Harry downstairs.

"Sup couple.", I say.

"Hey, Mari."

"Hey Bugaboo."

Guess who said which. 

I turn to Harry while eating a granola bar and ask him, "So you gonna live here until you do "you-know-what"?"

He chokes on his coffee and says, "I-I guess. Anyways...", Harry changes the topic while he sees the look on confusion on Blythe's face, "I will drop you off, Bugaboo."

I laugh internally knowing that Chat calls me that when I am Ladybug...OH, MY FUCKING GODS! I FORGOT ABOUT PATROL... I can just tell him that I got into an accident...WAIT WHERE'S TIKKI?...No wait...she's with her kwami friends. Ok, everything's okay. Calm down, Rieka.

Wait, Rieka? I turn to Blythe. "So you knew I was Rieka this whole time?!"

She looked surprised like I even knew who Rieka was. "...Yes. I wanted to tell you everything when we leave for our training. But it looks like you already know. How?"

"This lady, Amaya Brooks told me in a dream. She showed me our kingdom and who I was and all that.", I retorted.

"I am really sorry I didn't tell you sooner. Forgive me?" Blythe starts giving me puppy eyes.

"...FINE! JUST STOP GIVING ME THE PUPPY EYES!", I yell. I turn towards Harry knowing that he is also a part of our kingdom.

"If you are done, can you go get ready so you can drop me off?", I ask finishing the last of my granola.

"Yeah, yeah.", He gets up and goes upstairs to the guest room and changes his clothes. He comes downstairs dressed in a blue hoodie and black jeans. I laugh out loud. He looks at me weirdly.

"Oh! You just dress like my friend Luka!", I assure him.

"Oh!", He starts laughing with me. We both head to the car. Last night I tried to convince the fam that I can walk to school myself but they have gotten really over-protective of me ever since the accident. 

"Make sure you have everything in your backpack, babe.", Harry says. (I assure you, he doesn't like Marinette like 'that'. He loves her but like a sister. So hence the 'babe' part. Like 'babe' is 'baby' and Marinette is like his baby? I am gonna stop now)

I check everything in my backpack.

"Books. Check. Pencils. Check. Headache pills. Check. Bandages. Check. Stitches. Check. Doctor's note. Check.", I turn to Harry and tell him that everything's there.

Harry slows the car down in front of the school and I get out of the car. Harry gets out too and comes over to me. He hugs me. HE FREAKING HUGS ME. IN FRONT OF A LOT OF STUDENTS. Ugh, can he embarrass me even more? He gives me a kiss on my forehead and heads back into his car.

"Bye, Princess!", He yells before he starts his car and drives off. Nevermind

"Bye, Harry! Remember, one niece and one nephew!", I yell to get him flustered. I imagine he is blushing so hard right now. I turn towards the school and bump in Luka. My nose...

"I am so sorry, Luka!", I apologize.

"It's okay, Ma-Ma-Marinette. It was my fault too.", He chuckles. I then remember.

"Actually Luka, do you think that you could bring Juleka here? Or maybe someplace private?", I ask. I really need to tell them.

"Um... sure. But why?", he asks in suspicion.

"I promise I will explain everything but bring Juleka and meet me in Ms. Bustier's classroom. We have about 30 minutes before anyone comes in.", I say.

Luka runs off to find Juleka while I run off to Ms. Bustier's classroom.

---10 minutes later---

I heard the doorknob click and Juleka and Luka come in. I pull them in by the hand and close the door. I turn towards them and say, "So I am pretty sure you don't know why we are here. I will explain everything. So-"

"Did you know that Lila is spreading rumors about you, Mari?", Juleka butts in. I look up at her in shock.

"I-I did not know that... Who believes her?", I ask her.

"Everyone except, me, Juleka, Ms. Bustier, Kagami, Rose, Alix, Chloe, and Mark.", Luka says.

"Hold up. Did you just say Chloe?", I ask.

"Yes. You still have us though Marinette. We will always be with you.", Juleka assures me. I look at them with tears in my eyes. 

"Thank you. I love you guys so much. I just can't believe Alya or Adrien didn't stick up for me.", I say.

"No, you don't. You love~ that boy who kissed you on the forehead.", Juleka teased.

I snort. "I do love him but he isn't mine. He's my sisters. Also, he is 3 years older than me. Not that it matters.", I told them.

"YOU HAVE A SISTER?", they yell at me.

"Yeah. Blythe Dupain-Cheng. About to be Blythe Jackson.", I say.

"What do you mean?", Luka asks. 

"Harry, the guy, is going to propose to my sister and I gave him my blessings so... yeah. That's why I yelled, 'I want a niece and a nephew'.

"Ah. Now, why did you call us here?", Luka asks.

"So um, yesterday, I got into an accident while saving a little girl-"

"WHAT?"

"-And when I was in the hospital, my doctor was um... your father. Mr. Couffaine."

Luka and Juleka just stood there shocked.

"You're joking, right?", Luka asks.

"I am not. I am really sorry you two. Do you guys want a hug?", I spread my arms.

Juleka and Luka had tears running down their faces while they were hugging me. They pull back and I tell them, "Don't worry guys. He only knows that you are dating. Nothing else."

They both let out a breath.

"Now, you are going to tell us everything that happened before class starts.", Juleka ordered.

"Yes, mam.", I mockingly salute.

We all sit down and I begin my story.

Don't worry, guys. I won't ever let him near you.
