It's February 6th, almost 2 months since Christmas, and the same month I got pregnant. After Adrien took me home, he went right back. I haven't seen him, I guess he's been busier than before. He facetimes Emma and Louis, but doesn't try to visit. The babies are fussier nowadays, since they are teething, and it would be nice if I could have a small break.

I was finishing up a quiz that was due the day before when I got a text from Luka. I finished the quiz, then headed to the kitchen to grab a snack. The fridge was almost empty, due to my lack of having a babysitter. In the end, I made a plain sandwich and ate that while I messaged Luka back.

Luka and I have been planning to meet up, he knows about the twins as well. Although I felt things for Adrien still, a part of me deep down knew we wouldn't get anywhere. I have no experience outside from Adrien, so I wanted to expand.

Snapping out of my daze, I finished my sandwich and cleaned the dishes. My essay's due date was last night and I still hadn't finished the first few paragraphs so I started working on that. Emma started throwing a fit so I finished my essay and submitted it, even though it was poor quality. While I was calming Emma down, I messaged Adrien, and asked when he could visit. He didn't answer back right away, but when he did I was disappointed with the response.

All he said was that he was busy this weekend, which made me mad. I calmed Emma down, put her down in the play pen, did all the work that was due for tomorrow, and submitted the awful work. Closing my laptop, I walk into my room and packed a small bag. I messaged my parents and told them I would be visiting. They didn't have any objections so I arranged the diaper bags. I booked a ticket for the flight that would leave at 4 tonight, which is in 3 hours.

When I was suitably dressed I put the twins in the vehicle and left. Before heading to the airport I grabbed a bite from a fast food. When I got to the airport I only had a hour to wait before boarding. Soon I was boarding the plane and flying back home.

The plane landed around 5 going on 6, my mom was there to pick me up. She drove us to the bakery and unpacked what I had. My parents had practically forgot my existence and occupied themselves with the babies. While they did that, I asked Adrien if he could please watch the babies. To which he said he was busy once again. My parents agreed to watch the twins so I could go out. So I grabbed my purse and got a cab. I told the driver Adrien's address and the drive started.

I wasn't in my right mind at the time I booked my flight. As angry as I was that Adrien wasn't helping at all, I was regretting coming to Paris. Here I was going to his place to throw a bitch fit, not knowing what was going on. Too late now, I will just have to see how it goes.

The cab driver pulled up to the housing area and I exited the cab. I messaged, questioning Adrien what he was so busy with, he replied school and work. I looked down at my phone, my blood boiling. Forgetting all the regret I had, I stormed up to his apartment door and knocked calmly. I hid my face that way he couldn't see from the peep hole, which worked and he opened the door.

"Hello, can I help you?" He asked, his voice sounded annoyed. I was astonished to hear his attitude towards me. I looked him in the eyes

"Yes, I believe you can. Especially with your children." I said, smiling. His eyes widened, and I just stood there with the fake smile.

"Oh-. Hi Marinette, I didn't know you were in town." He said, sounding confused and awkward.

"Yeah, that's cause I didn't tell you. Now you mind explaining why I've been taking care of OUR children for the past 2 months straight with no breaks?" I laughed angrily. Adrien seemed to be thinking hard, seemed kind of sus (lol).

"Oh yeah, sorry about that. I have just been so busy with school and work." He tried to explain. I just death stared him.

"You mean to tell me you couldn't do that with them here? I've done it this whole time, and with no help from family members. Try a different excuse please." I told him, then fake smiling again. He had an 'oh crap' kind of expression at this moment.

"I-. Sorry." He said looking over his shoulder then down.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it, dad. The babies are teething and it's really tough. Plus you aren't giving a reason why you haven't wanted to be around the kids you wanted to know about so badly." I sarcastically said, then crossed my arms in front of my chest and smiled.

"Marinette, I can't really explain at the moment." Adrien sighed. My anger was fueling up, I was either going to throw hands or cry.

"You have to though. This has stressed me out to the point I was in Paris just to throw a bitch fit." I said, my eyes tearing up from my anger. "So you will give me an explanation." I added

"I wish I could, it's just something that can't be easily told." He tried saying, while putting his hands on my shoulders.

"It's not fair though, you told me that you would help. I am failing class and I am so close to being fired for missing because I wasn't able to sleep." I angrily explained as I covered my face.

"I really am sorry- Marinette, are you crying?" He said, moving my hands away from my face and lifting my chin up.

"When I am really mad I cry. I can't help it, you've really stressed me out." I explained and pulled my face away from his grip.

Before I knew it he pulled me into a hug. It felt nice to have a warm hug. Felt like I hadn't been hugged in years. I hugged back and calmed down. Soon I pulled away from the hug.

"I'm okay now. Promise you'll take them soon?" I asked desperately.

"I promise, I just can't this weekend though." He said.

"Okay. Well, I'm going to head back now. Sorry for getting my tears on your shirt." I said.

"It's fine and be careful, once again I am sorry." He told me.

We said our goodbyes then I went to wave down a cab. I caught one after a while, I gave the address and stared out the window as I headed home. Once I got back I ate dinner, got the babies ready for bed, and laid them down. As soon as they fell asleep, I went to sleep right after.

Hi, so I have been meaning to write this chapter for a few weeks now but didn't. :'D
I don't really know where to take this story next, and I have been considering discontinuing it. Besides that, hope you have a nice day/night. Bye-bye!


This chapter was inspired by "House of Cards" by BTS.
Even though it gives me Fifty Shades of Grey vibes :<
