Ok but theres gotta be balance if Hawkmoth makes his wish, right? There's gotta be a consequence to even out the laws of the universe.
He brings Emilie out of her coma, restores her to full health, and things seem ok for a while. Gabriel has his wife back. His family is whole. Adrien is thrilled with his mothers return, so much so he doesn't even question it. He eats up his fathers explanations like he does all his lies, because maybe on some level he knows but it's too much for his brain to process.
Their happy.
But then Adrien starts getting sick. At first, it just seems like the flu. He's coughing and sneezing and Gabriel clears his schedule for a few days while he recovers, except he doesn't.
He goes down hill really, really quickly.
He's weak. The tissues shoved in his pocket have splatters of red on them. He can't keep anything down, not even the crossiants Marinette brings him as a get well soon gift.
Gabriel can only watch in horror, a sick sense of deja vu settling cold in the pit of his stomach. He gets the best medical team in Paris, and the Agreste mansion is flooded with medical professionals monitoring Adrien around the clock, but all of his tests are normal, and from a medical perspective he is technically completely healthy.
He allows Adriens friends to visit whenever they please. His guilt is eating him inside. Perhaps it's the paranoia, but he swears that blue haired friend of his keeps glaring his way.
Emilie won't speak to him. She sleeps in Adriens room each night. Gabriel avoids the room like the plague.
6 months after Emilie opened her eyes, Adriens slip shut.
