Midnight Mishap (MariChat) ||Complete||

Chapter 4: Positive

Marinette ran to her washroom. She dialed Alya on her phone, as she hovered over her toilet. Tikki was handing Marinette her towel as Alya rushed in. "Marinette, are you okay?" she rubbed her back.

Marinette shook her head. "This has been going on for the past few days," she groaned. Alya bit her lip as Marinette threw up more. Tikki gave her a towel as Marinette thanked her quietly. 

"Well..." Alya trailed off, pulling something out of her bag. Marinette gasped as she saw it. "You did do it with Chat... you may be pregnant," she handed her the test.

Marinette shook her head in disbelief. "It was my first time though," Marinette groaned. "Still, you could be," Alya handed it to her as Marinette took it from her. She looked at the packaging and followed the instructions as Alya waited outside.

Alya paced around her room, etching for an answer. Marinette then finally walked out, with Tikki resting on her shoulder. She showed her friend the test.

Two lines.

Marinette immediately started to bawl as Alya hugged her. "It's going to be okay," Alya rubbed her back. "Are these happy or sad tears?" Alya questioned.

Marinette laughed, tears flooding her cheeks. "It's a bit of both," Tikki hugged her cheek. "How far along would you be?" Alya said as Marinette shrugged.

"It's been about a week," Marinette responded. "That I have been sick," she wiped her tears. "I can't belive I messed up so bad," Marinette rubbed her temples. 

"It wasn't your fault. It was the akuma's," Alya responded truthfully. "How do I tell my teachers, my parents, the kids at school, and Chat Noir," Marinette listed off, tears still falling.

"It's going to be okay, Mari. Chat Noir may be a flirt, but he is also extremely kind, he will support you," Alya hugged her. "This may just be the hormones talking, but I don't think I'm going to survive," Marinette laughed.

Alya giggled. "You're going to be fine. I'll be here, your parents, teachers, classmates, and the father," Alya smiled. "That's a lucky little kid," Alya gestured to her stomach.

Marinette hugged her best friend. But, with all this positivity, all the doubts started to creep in.

She tried to stay positive, but after her pregnancy test, she had enough.

Marinette sat in her bed after Alya left, rubbing her stomach. Tikki brought her a cookie, but she quickly denied. "What do I do Tikki?" Marinette sat up. 

"How do I tell Chat?"

Marinette groaned. Tikki rubbed her shoulder. "You can tell Chat when you're ready," Tikki replied. "But I do feel you should tell him, it is not just your child; it's Chat Noir's as well," Tikki said as Marinette sighed.

"I know I should...but I don't want him to leave me alone to take care of the child," Marinette looked down. "He won-" "How do you know!" Marinette exclaimed back, tears running down her face.

"We have been partners throughout highschool," Marinette grumbled. "But I don't know that he will promise to take care of the child with me," Marinette added. Tikki wiped Marinette's tears, as Marinette did herself.

"And what about Ladybug? I can't go swinging around protecting Paris if I'm pregnant," Marinette exclaimed. "Alya and Nino can help Chat Noir while you stay home and rest," Tikki replied.

"But what about the Akuma? And my magical ladybugs to clean everything up?" Marinette covered her face in her hands. "It's hopeless Tikki! I can't do this on my own," Marinette cried.

Tikki looked down. "Maybe, for the time being, you could give your miraculous-" "What!?" Marinette interrupted. "Without you, Tikki, I'll be all by myself," Marinette replied.

"Well, we're not giving your miraculous back today, and after you give birth, you can get it back! And by the time you need to give your miraculous, you already have your parents, Alya and Chat Noir to keep you company," Tikki smiled.

"You're not alone Marinette," Tikki rubbed her cheek. Marinette bawled as Tikki flew behind her shoulder. "Ti-" "Marinette?" Chat Noir stared at her, dumbstruck.

"I'm so sorry," Marinette ran over to him. He hugged her. "What's going on?" he asked as she continued to cry. "It's all my fault," Marinette choked. Chat Noir rubbed her back. "What the hell happened," Chat Noir asked.

Marinette shook her head. "I should have been more careful," Marinette breathed. "Marinette!" He pulled her outwards. "What is going on? Please tell me," he begged, as she continued to cry. 

"I...I can't," Marinette stammered as Chat Noir pulled her closer. "I-Okay," Chat Noir held her in a hug. They stood there for a long time as Marinette wiped her tears. "Sorry," she mumbled. 

"No! No, it's okay. It's good to let your feelings out," Chat Noir smiled. Marinette sighed. "There's just something I found out today," Marinette rubbed her arm.

"Oh? What is it?" Chat Noir asked as Marinette froze. "I-uh, uh," Marinette stammered. "Is it good or bad," Chat Noir smiled. Marinette looked down at her stomach.

"I don't know,"
