Marinette/Bridgette's bedroom
Bridgette's alarm rang out, which made her wake up with a smile on her face as she knew what day it was today, which made her quickly climb down from her bed
"Happy Birthday." Bridgette said as she tripped on the last step making her fall onto her flood then she got up and walked over to the computer where she turned it which revealed a collage of photos of Adrien with hearts around him
"Happy Birthday, My love." Bridgette said as she leaned in to kiss the photo of Adrien. Then she pulled away after hearing her door open as Marinette walked in
"I see you are up early today." Marinette said as she stood by the door
"I have a reason for waking up early this morning." Bridgette said
"Clearly." Marinette said as she brought out a present
"Since you called me yesterday to ask me to make a hand-crafted design of mine." Marinette said
"You didn't put your signature on the design, did you?" Bridgette asked worriedly, which made Marinette shake her head
"No, since I didn't want Adrien to see who made his gift." Marinette said, which made Bridgette sigh
"Thank you." Bridgette said
"If you want to arrive at school early, you better get dressed." Marinette said as she walked down the stairs after she closed the door while Bridgette quickly put her clothes on and walked downstairs
"What gift will I be giving, Adrien?" Bridgette asked
"A scarf." Marinette said as she took a sip of her smoothie
"I'm sure Adrien will appreciate it for his 16th birthday." Bridgette said, which made Marinette sigh happily
"Sweet 16, 2 years away from being an adult." Marinette said, then she put her smoothie down and walked over to Bridgette, where she put her arm around her shoulder
"I remember my sweet 16." Marinette said
"Didn't you give birth to your daughters on your birthday?" Bridgette asked
"Yes, but I had my 16th birthday when Damian turned 16, so I didn't miss out on my sweet 16." Marinette said
"Then you're in luck since your 18 birthday is coming in a couple of months." Bridgette said, which made Marinette widen her eyes
"So it is, and that also means it's my girl's 2nd birthday." Marinette said, then she removed herself from Bridgette and looked at her
"Will Adrien be having his sweet 16 today?" Marinette asked
"I don't know." Bridgette said
"Then you better get to school and ask him or your friends." Marinette said as she pushed Bridgette out the door and went back to her smoothie. Then her mother walked in
"Morning darling." Sabine said
"Morning Mom." Marinette said as she finished off her smoothie, where she washed it in the sink and dried it off. She put it away
"I know it's Bridgette's bedroom now, but." Sabine said, which made Marinette freeze as she knew what her mother was going to ask her
"(Please don't ask me to clean my old room.)" Marinette thought
"I know there are certain secrets that Bridgette doesn't want to know like a certain shoebox filled with sex toys when you were a horny 15-year-old." Sabine said with a smile on her face as she heard Marinette groan
"Mom." Marinette groaned out
"At least you have Damian now to pleasure now instead of those sex toys." Sabine said
"I'll get on it." Marinette said as she quickly ran upstairs to her bedroom, where she went into her wardrobe, where she dug through her old clothes until she found the shoebox, which she opened and revealed all sorts of sex toys.
"I must burn or bury these and forget about them for a long time." Marinette said as she put the lid back on and lifted it out of her wardrobe
In front of Francoise Dupon College
Bridgette and Aya were hiding out of sight while Nino was talking to Adrien
"Got any plans for your sweet 16 birthday party?" Nino asked, which made Adrien shake his head
"I don't think my father would throw me a birthday party." Adrien said
"Dude, has your father ever had a sweet 16 when he was young?" Nino asked
"Possibly not." Adrien said
In their hiding place, Alya was talking Bridgette up to give Adrien her gift
"You can do this: go up to Adrien and hand him your gift to celebrate his birthday, then you can kiss him on the cheek." Alya said
"I'll do all of that except for the last one." Bridgette said
"Your loss." Alya said, then Bridgette peaked from her hiding place, then she dropped down and hid her face
"I can't do this." Bridgette said, which made Alya facepalm
"Don't be a bloody chicken." Alya said as she put Bridgette to her feet and pushed her towards Adrien
"Be brave." Alya said after she pushed Bridgette towards Adrien
Bridgette stumbled forward, then she righted herself up when she was near Adrien, so she walked over to him and stood in front of him
"Hey." Bridgette said with an awkward smile
"Hey." Adrien said
By the school door, Chloe was watching everything that was going on
"The fuck, why wasn't I informed that it was Adrien's birthday?" Chloe asked as she turned to Sabrina who was hiding her face behind the iPad
"Well, are you going to tell me, or are you going to hide your face like a coward?" Chloe asked, which made Sabrina remove the iPad from her face and fumble around. Then she looked up at Chloe with a sheepish smile making Chloe groan
"Ugh, do I have to do everything around?" Chloe asked, then she looked at Sabrina
"You better buy Adrien a birthday present, and it better be one that we both like." Chloe said as she poked Sabrina in the chest and then walked down the stairs towards Adrien, Nino, and Bridgette, who were fumbling over her words
"Get the fuck out of the way." Chloe said as she pushed Bridgette away then Chloe hugged and kissed Adrien on the cheeks
"Did you get my present, Adrikins? Chloe asked, which made Adrien shake his head, making Chloe groan
"Oh, those good-to-nothing delivery men, so lazy that they had to get help since the present was heavy." Chloe said that she smiled at Adrien after
"When your present does arrive, I'm sure you'll love it." Chloe said as she walked back to Sabrina
"Did you order a birthday present for Adrien yet?" Chloe said, making Sabrina nod her head
"Good, at least you still have some worth to me." Chloe said as she walked into the school
On the streets
Adrien entered his limo, where Alya and Bridgette watched, which made Bridgette look down
"Why can't I mean what I say?" Bridgette asked
"I'm sure you'll get there in the future." Alya said
"I hope so, Alya." Bridgette said, then Alya smiled
"You know what?" Alya asked, which made Bridgette look up
"What?" Bridgette asked
"Why don't we deliver your gift to Adrien's home instead?" Alya asked, which made Bridgette happy
"That sounds like a great idea." Bridgette said
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Alya said as she grabbed Bridgette's hand and dragged her to the Agreste Mansion
After watching Adrien drive off in the limo, Nino fixed his hat
"Looks like I'll have to talk to my best buds old man." Nino said as he also headed to the Agreste Mansion
Outside the gates of the Agreste Mansion
Bridgette and Alya stood outside, where they looked inside through the gates to the Agreste Mansion
"Damn. It's more impressive up close." Alya said
"How are we going to deliver my present now?" Bridgette asked
"Oh, that's easy." Alya said as she pressed the doorbell that was on the wall, which made a camera appear from the wall
"(Someone watched too many Star Wars movies in their free time.)" Bridgette thought
"Yes." Natalie's voice said from the intercom
"Um, I'm here to gift Adrien something for his birthday." Bridgette said
"Put it in the slot." Nathalie said as the mailbox opened up, which made Bridgette slot her gift inside, then the mailbox closed, and the camera disappeared, making the girl's smile
"Well done, you did it." Alya said as she hugged Bridgette
"Yeah, I did." Bridgette said as she returned the hug, and then they both pulled away
"You did sign a card for Adrien as well, did you?" Alya asked, which made Bridgette blink as she facepalmed
"Shoot." Bridgette said
"Don't worry, I'm sure it's fine." Alya said as the two girls walked away from the mansion while Nino arrived at the Mansion not long after
Nino pressed the doorbell, which revealed the camera as it looked at Nino, then Natalie's voice was heard from the intercom
"Yes." Natalie's voice said, which made Nino tell her what he wanted to do, which she agreed to
Inside the Manor
"He won't be long." Nathalie said
After 10 minutes, Gabriel arrived at the top of the stairs
"Can I help you, young man?" Gabriel asked
"You sure can, dude, I mean, sir." Nino said
"What help will this require?" Gabriel asked as he glared at Nino after he got called dude
"I'm sure you heard it's Adrien's 16 birthday." Nino said
"Yes, I know about it." Gabriel said
"Then that also means it's his sweet 16 party as well." Nino said, and then Adrien walked inside
"Nino, what brings you inside my home?" Adrien asked
"Getting your old man's permission to throw you a sweet 16 birthday party." Nino said, which made Adrien happy as he turned towards his father, who was glaring at Nino still
"Can I have this party please, father." Adrien said
"No." Gabriel said, making Nino and Adrien unhappy
"Why not, sir, Adrien has done everything on his schedule. Why won't you give him a party?" Nino asked
"I'm sure you also had one when you were 16 as well, right?" Nino said, then Adrien's bodyguard stood behind Nino
"You know what, from this day you are banned from ever setting foot in this mansion, and you are a bad influence to my son." Gabriel said as he walked away while Nathalie stood in front of the boys
"I'm sorry that you can't give Adrien a sweet 16 party, and don't stop being friends with Adrien as well. I noticed he's smiling more since he went to public school. So thank you." Nathalie said, then he looked up at Gorilla and nodded, which made him escort Nino off the mansions grounds.
Adrien ran after Nino just before he left grounds
"Nino, thanks for trying to get me a party. And I'm sorry about how my father treated you." Adrien said, which made Nino put his hands on Adrien's shoulders as he smiled at him
"It's okay, dude. Besides, you need to have a normal teenager life instead of this celebrity lifestyle." Nino said
"I know, but I can't go against my father like that." Adrien said, which made Nino sigh
"Dude, your father is the worst." Nino said as he toom his hands off Adrien's shoulders
"Anyway, see you at school later today." Nino said
"That is if I'm still going to school after today.". Adrien said as he watched the gates close after Nino walked off the mansion grounds. Then Nathalie walked over
"I promised your mother that I would treat you like a son after she left and not let Gabriel disrespect you. But after what I witnessed today, it seems like your father has lost the rights to you as a son." Nathalie said, making Adrien look up at her
"What do you mean by that?" Adrien asked
"I'm going to fight for your custody and give you more freeway in your schedule, starting now." Nathalie said as she deleted Chinese practice from his schedule, making Adrien happy
"You have a whole afternoon free to do whatever you want with friends." Nathalie said, which made Adrien happy, which also made him hug Nathalie, who smiled at him
"But, we got to keep this a secret from your father as well, okay? So don't be disappointed if I had to follow your father's commands for you, okay?" Nathalie said
"I won't, Nathalie, and thank you for doing this for me." Adrien said
"I helped look after you as a baby with your mother when your father was absent, so I'm like a second mother to you." Nathalie said, then she smiled at a memory
"I remember you called me mommy when you started to speak, and that warmed my heart up to hear you call me, Mommy." Nathalie said
"What did mother do when I called you, Mommy?" Adrien asked
"She was also happy since we both were in a secret relationship together behind your father since he wasn't home that often, and your mother would find him in bed with another woman." Nathalie said
"Who was this woman that mother found him with?" Adrien asked, which made Nathalie sigh
"Audrey Bourgeois." Nathalie said, which made Adrien widen his eyes in shock
"Does this mean that Chloe is my half-sister?" Adrien asked, making Nathalie shake her head
"No, Chloe isn't related to you. Audrey went to New York 2 days after having an affair with your father." Nathalie said
"Could it be possible that I have a half-brother or sister living in New York?" Adrien asked
"Possibly, but we won't know more until Audrey returns with this child." Nathalie said, which made Adrien sigh
"I can't believe father would cheat on mother like that." Adrien said
"I can since I watched him flirt with other women during fashion shows." Nathalie said
"Anyway, enough about how much of a cheating bastard your father is. Don't you have homework from school that will need to be done?" Nathalie asked
"Yes, I do have homework that needs to be done." Adrien said
"Then get to it." Nathalie said as Adrien ran inside the mansion, making Nathalie smile
"(I promise I'll treat you like a son, Adrien, until I can find a way to heal Emilie so we can be a happy family while Gabriel either rots in hell or in prison.)" Nathalie thought as she also walked inside the Manor.
