Miraculous - The New Guardian

Part 56 - Emily's day off(edited)

They reached the hospital a few minutes later. As Gabriel had already called before they left the mansion, they didn't have to go to the reception at all,  but went straight to the next hallway to get into the elevator.

Nathalie looked pale and scared,  but tried to smile, as she was walking beside her former boss, who had his arm around her waist and held her onto him tightly,  as if he was about to lose her the moment he let go.

Marinette and  Adrien stayed a little behind, trying to give them their privacy and at the same time be there if they were needed.

A nurse was waiting for Nathalie and as she saw them enter, gave them a sign to follow.

"It's usually just for the patient", she said, "but your, uhm....?" She looked at the couple in front of her curiously as she of course knew, who he was and had heard quite some rumours.

"Husband!", Gabriel gave her a wide fake smile. Behind them, the teenagers gasped, but he looked at them and only hissed: "Later", and turned his attention back to the front.

The nurse cleared her throat: "Well, it's usually just the patient,  but your husband is allowed to stay with you. The others have to wait outside."

Nathalie and Gabriel turned to the younger ones with an apologetic look, but Adrien just said: "To be honest, I was hoping for an opportunity like that, so we could see mum in the meantime and tell her about the new situation."

He winked, as he had noticed the nurse listening in to their conversation and didn't want to tell her about them having not only one but two babies.

The designer nodded. "I'll see you there, than. If not, I will have you informed."

While the couple left to go to Emily's room, Gabriel grabbed the shaking woman's hand and led her further down the hallway to follow the nurse.

When Emily Agreste heard a knock, she lifted her head in surprise, as she had not been expecting anyone at this time. She knew,  that her son and his fiancee had an appointment at her doctor this morning and she expected them to visit in the afternoon or even tomorrow. So she called: "Come inside, please!", and kept her gaze at the entrance in curiosity.

Her eyes widened but her lips immediately turned to a bright smile when she saw the blond hair of her son followed by the dark hair of Marinette, that sometimes looked a little blue under the fluorescent hospital lights, enter the room.

After giving both a tight hug, she couldn't hold her question back any longer: "I would not have expected you so early. What's the occasion?  Nothing bad, I hope?"

She looked them both up and down intensely. She noticed Marinette's red cheeks and the somehow relaxed expression in her eyes, as well as the slight grin both could not wipe off completely.

She waited until Adrien had finished on telling her about Nathalie and that his father didn't want to go on his own, before she started teasing them: "The appointment must have been short, if after that you two had time to  have a conversation with your father and have sexual intercourse afterwards."

The teenagers blushed deeply, and Marinette began to explain, stuttering: "Well....uhm.....we........actually....uh..."

Emily giggled at the young woman's reaction.

"I was just teasing you a little,  Sweetheart. Now tell me about the appointment and if everything is alright. And if you and your baby are both healthy!"

"Why don't you have a look yourself?", said the young woman as she sat down on the bed beside her and handed her the first picture.

Emily's eyes filled with tears instantly.
