Soulmates And What We Expect (A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfic)

Caring Pt.1

Adrien pushed the door of the Boulangerie Patisserie and stepped into the comfortable looking house.

Sabine was at the counter, packing a few macaroons into a box. She brightened up when she saw him,"Adrien! What brings you here?"

He nodded at the Chinese woman in curtsy and asked if Marinette was here. She looked remorseful when he mentioned the bluenette, " Yes, she is in her room…although she isn't feeling well… "

Adrien smiled slightly before he climbed up the stairs and walked into her room. He saw Marinette curled up in a corner with her head buried in her knees. Her shoulders trembled every now and then.

Adrien knew she was crying...

Tom sat next to her, patting her hair and murmuring quiet words to her, seemingly consoling her. When he saw Adrien, he stood up and said to Marinette in a low voice that he was going downstairs and that she should call him if she needed anything. Tom sighed softly and walked past Adrien, nodding to him curtly.

"M'lady? " Adrien walked over to her carefully when he received no response from her.

"It's going to be alright, princess. Don't be afraid, hmm? I'm here for you."

He sat on the bed beside her, "Don't be sad, 'kay? You're pregnant. If not for yourself, then be strong for your babies. Doctor told me that the mother's emotions can influence the babies' personalities a lot. So, m'lady, you have to be strong, mmm?"

Adrien's voice was gentle and tender. He never knew how to comfort girls. But, right now, he was at his tenderest moment. He reached his hand out and gently patted her back, as if comforting a child.

After a while, Marinette slowly lifted her head, and with tears streaming down her face, she slowly asked, "Adrien, I miss him very much. Can you take me with you to find him? "

Adrien fell silent and wasn't sure of how to respond.
" M'lady, as hard as it is for you...to... understand it... but... Luka isn't a-alive... anymore... He wanted you to be stay safe…so much that he even sacrificed himself for you. Don't cry m'lady, please don't cry-"

Adrien's heart ached as his own words resulted in her breaking down in tears again. He hated that he was the cause of her tears, but these words had to be said, as much his heart was breaking right now.
"Can you do this alley cat a favour, princess?"

She looked up.

"Can you please rest for now? This knight doesn't want his princess get all ugly and snotty. "

Marinette smiled slightly and threw a weak punch at his arm, with him laughing loudly in response.

"Rest up, mmm? "
"Okay... "

Adrien helped her lie down and adjusted the blanket so that she won't be cold in her thin sweatshirt.

"Are you hungry? " he asked.

She shook her head.

"Do you want some water? "

Marinette shook her head again.

"Hm, how about some fruits? "

"No."

"Are you sleepy?"

She nodded.

" Okay, close your eyes then and don't think about anything else. "

"Mhm."

"What about you ?" Marinette looked at Adrien and asked.

"I'm….I'm fine. I'll stay here for a bit and leave after you fall asleep."
