so... this sparked from seeing all the Miraculous Ladybug games for girls where Ladybug/Marinette is pregnant. in one game the baby had a mask in the womb. of course Chat Noir/Adrien is the father... but, it's still an interesting concept if they still don't know who each other is under the masks... thus this was "Born".

this has no connection to any of my other Miraculous stories.

I'm rating this one T because I'm not gonna go too graphic. besides, this is mostly about Marinette being pregnant, not how she got to be that way.

hope ya'll enjoy!

Ch, 1. Paws-a-tive-ly bad

Marinette sighed as she looked down at the pregnancy test in her hand. A plus sign was in full view. She reread the box just to make sure she wasn't misreading the test. Nope! The forth test she had taken that week and they all said the same thing: Marinette Dupain-Cheng was pregnant.

She groaned in full knowledge of who the father was. How did she let that stupid cat in her pants? How could she let him seduce her? Maybe it was the fact that after almost four years of getting nowhere with Adrien she was subconsciously moving on.

But, how? How could her one night stand with her partner result in her being pregnant? She was on birth control. He wore a condom. Something wasn't adding up. Did the condom break? Did the birth control fail her in her time of need? Both were most likely.

She sighed as she threw the test away. Just her luck she'd get impregnated by Chat Noir.

She debated on going to school that day. She couldn't face Adrien. Luckily, it was almost the end of the school year and summer vacation was almost there. But, she knew she'd be showing when school would start back up again. Her senior year of high school and she would have an infant.

She really wasn't ready to be a mother. She regretted that night with Chat. Even though he was a perfect gentleman, he still got her pregnant. And neither knew each other's identities, so he would have no idea he got Marinette knocked up when he slept with Ladybug.

She sat down on her chaise and grumbled. Tikki flew over to her and offered a warm smile.

"This is exciting!" Tikki continued to smile.

Marinette picked up a pillow and put it over her face. She took a deep breath and screamed. When she was done, she put the pillow back. "Well, that didn't help."

Tikki shrugged. "Maybe this is a good thing."

Marinette raised an eyebrow at her Kwami. "How is a baby I'm not ready for a 'good thing'? I'm not going to be able to take care of it. And Chat Noir will probably be no help at all…"

"Now you don't know that." Tikki tried to defend him. "He might be a big help."

Marinette sighed. "The best thing for this kid is for me to put it up for adoption as soon as it's born." She felt her stomach. "Because god knows I can't be a mother right now." She grumbled as she rubbed her stomach. "Gah!" She let herself fall back. "I wanted to wait till marriage to have kids! Why did I sleep with Chat?"

Tikki shrugged. "You were lonely?"

"Most likely." Marinette admitted in defeat.

Her feet ended up dragging her to school a few minutes late anyway even though she didn't really want to go.

"Miss Dupain-Cheng!" Her teacher, Mr. Schmidt, barked. "What is your excuse this time?" He crossed his arms.

Marinette sat down in her seat behind Adrien and she sank. "Female problems." She squeaked.

"Oh." The teacher went back to the board and began to lecture.

As soon as the year began and she met their new teacher, she learned that she could almost get away with anything if she told him female problems prevented her from arriving on time or doing her homework. He would back off as soon as any girl in class gave him that excuse and excuse any absences or tardiness.

He was a big burly man with a German accent. He had slicked back blonde hair and light blue eyes. He basically looked like a stereotypical German man. But, he was nice and made the class brownies once a month. He was a very sensitive man to his female students' hormones.

The reason being was that he had a wife and daughter and knew that high school is one of the most trying and difficult times for young ladies.

Even though he favored the girls, he was still good to the boys. He would often get into tangents about sports and video games. He even took the boys camping over a break, just for fun.

Adrien often admitted he wanted to be like Mr. Schmidt. He admired him because he was a loving husband and father to his wife and daughter. He also liked how understanding he was. Adrien even decided he wanted to become a teacher because of him. He hoped his future students looked up to him like he and his classmates looked up to Mr. Schmidt. He was sad that the year was almost over and that they would get a new teacher.

As Mr. Schmidt went off on a tangent about football after Kim asked what was the difference between how the rest of the world plays verse the game Americans call football; Marinette's stomach churned.

She could feel something come up her throat. She quickly stood up and ran to the trashcan, dispelling the contents of her stomach into the plastic bag that lined the plastic bin.

Mr. Schmidt put the back of his hand on her forehead to check her temperature. "Dupain-Cheng? Are you alright? You're not running a fever."

She hurled again.

"Oh my god Marinette!" Chloe stood up. "Can you not be the center of attention for two minutes?"

Adrien shot Chloe a harsh look. "Can't you see she's not feeling well?" he stood up and walked over to the puking Marinette. "Sir, I'll walk her to the nurse."

Mr. Schmidt nodded. "Thanks Agreste."

Adrien patted her on the back as she picked up the trash can off the floor and walked out with it in her arms with Adrien right beside her.

"Maybe it was something you ate?" Adrien tried to diagnose her after the door was shut and they were halfway down the hall.

She shook her head.

"Maybe a stomach bug then?" He smiled. "Don't worry I'm sure you'll be fine."

She blushed. "Thank you."

She was soon sitting on a cot in the nurse's office still hugging the trash can.

"Now Marinette can you tell me why you might be puking? Food poisoning?" the nurse smiled.

Adrien was halfway out the door when Marinette spoke.

"I'm pregnant." She gulped not knowing he heard her.

He did.
