It's been three months since they've stopped trying to avoid a pregnancy. They aren't avidly trying yet, but they've both agreed they are ready for the possibility and it was time to leave the rest to fate. Paris has been quiet recently and Ladybug feels confident in her teammates that she can sit on the sidelines for the next several months once (if) the time comes. They are finally financially stable enough, with both of them steady in their careers after years of hard work.
Still, she expects that it would take a little longer. She almost feels guilty with how quickly it happens, since she has so many friends that have struggled with infertility. She pushes the thought from her mind though and lets herself be fully take over by pure elation as the sight of the two pink lines.
"Marinette, are you okay?" Luka knocks on the door, five minutes later. He isn't sure if her silence is good or bad news, or really what outcome is the good and which is the bad for her. He knows for him a single line is bad. He's ready. He want's to be a father. His is more than ready to start his family with the woman he loves more than anything else on Earth.
Marinette opens the door with tears in her eyes. That's all the man sees initially and it takes him a moment to realize she's grinning from ear to ear. She nods, and he feels his own eyes instantly well up in tears a well. He pulls her into him, places several quick kisses on her cheeks, nose, forehead, and lips. He's never felt this happy before in his life. The two mutter "I love you" through their tears and laughter, with the occasional, "We're going to be parents."
Once they are finally able to calm themselves down, at least slightly, the two retreat to the couch. Luka puts on an episode of their favorite sitcom that they've both seen several times, and Marinette berries herself into his side. She places a soft kiss on the base of his neck, and Luka response with a kiss to the top of her head. "Does this mean I'm allowed to call you Ma-Ma-Marinette again?" he asks with a grin, just as the opening credits start. Marinette can only shake her head with a chuckle, at the reminder of their first meeting.
What do you think? I would love to hear some thoughts, or constructive criticism. I thought of this little drabble, while rewatching the first episode with the Littles.

Special Maman note: In case any of you need to hear it, it's totally fine to not have a good reaction to finding out you are pregnant. I felt so guilty for so long because I was not happy or excited when I find out I was pregnant, even though I was engaged and living with my partner at the time. - Honey
