Marinette POV

By the next morning, I was so tired. I stayed up most of the night making Monroe a red trench coat. Usually something like that would take more than a night to make, but I was running on adrenaline at that moment.

I looked out the window to see snow falling from the sky. Fresh powder covered the ground below me. I put on a light pink tank top with a black loose turtleneck sweater over it, jeans, and old black boots. I pulled up front locks of my hair and tied it into the back, put on mascara and lipgloss, then went downstairs.

Papa was setting down a cake that he had made this morning into the counter. I looked at the cake and smirked.

"I'm guessing Monroe likes Ladybug and Chat Noir?" I asked Papa.

"Oh yeah. We talked to her a little bit yesterday, getting to know her, and all she talked about was Paris' Guardian Angels." He chuckled.

"Can you go wake her up please?" He asked. I nodded and walked to her room. I cracked open the door a little to see Monroe laying on the bed, drawing in her notebook.

"Hey. What are you drawing?" I asked, sitting down beside her. "Ladybug."

"So you like Ladybug a lot don't you?" I chuckled.

"No." Monroe looked at me then back down at the paper. I frowned a little upset.

"I love her." Monroe giggled.

People started to show up so I helped Monroe pick out a nice outfit out of her suitcase. Which she didn't have really any nice clothes. So I guess Maman will have to get her some.

We went into the living room to Maman.

"Monroe, meet Manon." Maman said. Monroe looked at Manon.

"Wanna play?" Manon asked her. Monroe smiled and nodded.

I stood beside Maman who was talking to Mrs. Nadja. She was holding a little baby girl, Manon's sister. She looked exactly like Manon did as a baby.

"Hey, Marinette." I heard someone say behind me. I turned around to see Adrien, Alya, and Nino. Alya gave me a bone crushing hug.

"Alya. I. Need. Air." I gasped as she let me go.

"How do you like being a sister so far?" She asked me with excitement.

"It's hasn't even been a day Alya. But she's sweet. Oh, and she loves Ladybug and Chat Noir so you can go talk to her about them." I chuckled.

"Oh my gosh, this child is and angel sent straight from heaven. I need to meet her." Alya said and ran off to find her. Nino chuckled lightly and went after Alya. Leaving just me and Adrien.

"Hey." He smiled at me.

"Hi." I replied.

"So, Monroe likes Ladybug and Chat Noir?" He asked with a small smile.

"Yeah. That's all she's been talking about." I chuckled, looking over at the little girl. She's showing Alya her Ladybug doll.

"Yeah. Ladybug's amazing." Adrien said. I blushed a little but then remembered, I'm not Ladybug right now.

"Yeah I guess." I mumbled.

"You guess?" He chuckled. I nodded

It was awkward silence for a moment before he spoke up.

"You want to go get something to eat?" He asked, pointing to the table of food.

"Sure." He fixed himself a plate of food, I just picked up a croissant.
