And a third installment! This a request over on tumblr from MerryFortune. The prompt was kind of angsty but I managed to twist it differntly and make it fit my theme from last night XD

20: "You need to wake up because I can't do this without you."

~*~*~*~*RMG*~*~*~*~

"You need to wake up because I can't do this without you. ...Mari?"

No answer.

"Come on, Mari. Please, wake up?"

Still nothing.

Adrien sighed and switched off the baby monitor as he gently bounced her infant daughter in his arms. He knew what he had to do to calm her down but as she was only two weeks old, he hadn't succsessfully changed her diaper without Marinette helping. And his dearest wife wasn't waking up. Not that he blamed her, they were both tired.

"Come on, Kid," Plagg yawned as he floated into the room, Tikki fluttering behind him, "It's a dirty diaper, not the end of the world. Just change it already."

"I know that, Plagg, but..." Adrien trailed off awkwardly as he watched the tiny spirit brush his tail over his baby's cheek, attempting to calm her down.

"It'll be okay, Adrien." Tikki said, soothingly, "You're not the first Chat Noir and Ladybug to have children. I can help guide you."

Plagg scoffed, still trying to distract his grandkitten, "It's been a hundred and fifty years since the last pair who did, Tikki. I think methods have changed."

"Not as much as you think, you grump. Plus I paid attention when Marinette did it."

"Alright, alright." Adrien sighed, gently laying his baby on the changing table, "Assistance would be nice, Tikki."

Plagg couldn't help the snicker that escaped him as he perched on the baby's head as Adrien started to change her, his attempts at getting her attention finally paying off, "At least it was only wet."

The blond glared tiredly at him before continuing his task, listening to Tikki's soft voice. Once done, he sighed in relief before picking up the now only sniffling baby. Her still watery eyes, slowly becoming green, were still trained on Plagg as he spun above her.

"See, that wasn't so hard." Plagg said as he gently bumped against the baby's head before purring.

Adrien didn't bother to reply as he made his to the rocking chair and sat down. He craddled his daughter gently as she continued to focus on Plagg. Chuckling softly as she soon began to fall back asleep with each rocking motion.

A little while later, found one hero, one child and two kwami asleep in the chair while the female watched from the doorway. Marinette giggled inwardly as she shook her head at the scene. Adrien slumped on the rocking chair, gently and securely holding onto their daughter, with Tikki in his hair while Plagg was still perched on the baby's head.

She walked over and softly removed the baby from his arms, "See, you could do it on your own." She then placed the baby back in her crib and turned the monitor back on. Marinette then kissed the side of Adrien's head, "Come back to bed, Kitty."

Green eyes opened slowly and he smiled sleepily at her, "As you wish, My Lady."
