After Hawk Moth's defeat, Ladybug allowed some of her holders to keep their Miraculous, "just in case". Ivan and Mylene married, settled down and had kids. The Mouse Miraculous became a thing of memory for Mylene, safely hidden away, until her small child discovered it on a particularly difficult day for the frazzled mother of three.
Salvaging the powerful jewel from the grubby fingers, Mylene considered its purpose. She knew that the Miraculous were not supposed to be used for personal reasons, but amidst the chaos of parenting a preschooler, a toddler and a newborn, she was sorely tempted to reconsider. Surely those old monks in Tibet hadn't known what a warzone that could be. Mothering was a daily battle, and years of living in survival mode had pushed this young mother into desperation.
Every mother wishes she could clone herself. This one can.
