Prince Gumball and Marshall Lee

15.

~Marshall~

The next few days were quite peaceful with no interruptions from the outside world. Gumball and I both decided that if we were going to raise a child in a safe environment for everyone, I needed a new house.

Yeah, sure, I had spent six hundred years in this house and I had a lot of great memories (Wink wink! (You’ll understand later) here and all, but it’s time to move on in life. Well, in Gumball’s life.

With the help of Fionna, Cake, LSP, Emerald Prince, and myself, we picked a location not far from the old house and started to build there. It was a very large cave.

Fionna brought out her inner girl and decided to plant as much grass as she could and plant all kinds of gardens around. LSP put some painting of rainbows and sun with clouds around.

Gumball waited inside the newly built and furnished house, worrying about the baby and the furniture. We hadn’t told anyone yet about the baby, but we were planning to. They were our circle of friends.

Shit. I guess I’ll have to tell my parents about this. Well… I guess I’ll do that later.

After a whole days work, everyone came inside where Cake started to make her famous hot coco. Gumball sat in the recliner from my old house, curled up and rocking. LSP and Emerald Prince—maybe I should call him Willis and LSP Robert, were cuddling on the couch. Cake finally settled down and sat in Gumball’s lap. I sat on the floor with Fionna.

I didn’t care for human food but Cake’s hot coco beats all other hot cocos. We all had a cup and were quietly sipping coco.

The walls in the living room were painted a soft yellow and there was beige carpet. The kitchen had white and black checkered floors with light blue walls. There was two bedrooms upstairs. One was a deeper blue for Gumball—I still can’t get over that his name is Jonathan and that he never told me—and I’s room. For the baby’s room, it was painted beige and green for a nature themed (LSP’s idea) room.

“So… when do you guys plan on adopting or getting married?” Willis asked, wrapping an arm around Robert.

“Hey, Bubs, do you want me to tell them?” He nodded and then bit his lip. I nodded back.

“Wait—what? Tell us what?” Robert said, alarmed. He look from Gumball to me and then again.

“Be quiet and let him speak.” Fionna reminded them and everyone stopped talking.

“Ok, we’ve been hiding something from you guys for about a week. This is something life changing and we’ll need all the help we can get. Just promise not to tell anyone.”

“Promise.” They all said.

“Gumball’s pregnant.” As soon as I said it, the room exploded into gasps, whispers, and yelling. Fionna did a little shriek and then hugged me.

“I’ve always wanted this to happen!” She squealed and then went over to Gumball who was smiling. Cake was talking to Gumball about everything she knew about having a baby. Cake and Lord Monochromicorn once were together back in the day.

“You knocked him up?!?” Robert shouted. I nodded.

Willis smacked Robert on the arm. “He’s trying to say that he’s happy for you and Gumball.”

After everyone left about two hours later, I found Gumball in our bathroom upstairs. He was shirtless and had his hands on his stomach. He still had his little bump, or else nothing else had really gone on. There still has no heartbeat, which I know scared the shit out of Gumball but nothing else had happened.

I wrapped my arms around Gumball and put my hands over his. I rested my chin on his shoulder. His pulse was in my right ear. “How is the baby?”

Gumball sighed. “I guess everything is alright in there. I can’t feel anything and you still say there is no heartbeat.” He murmured. I kissed his cheek and he smiled.

“Why don’t we go to bed now? I was going to see if my mother would come here and meet you tomorrow.”

Gumball nodded and turned around in my arms. He gave me a peck on the lips and I scooped him up. I walked to our bedroom and set him on the bed. He crawled to his side and I laid down on my side. I turned the lights off in our room and Gumball wrapped his arms around me.

Bump bump, bump bump. I smiled at him. “I love you, Marshall.”

“I love you too, Gumball.” And with that, I fell asleep to the sound of Gumball breathing and the suddenly new heartbeat I heard flutter from his abdomen.

~Hi. Sorry for not updating in forever. I didn’t die or anything. I rediscovered my social life an d found out I had friends.

Plus with the shitty wifi and going up north so many times… UGH! That was so much physical activity but I didn’t lose much weight. I’m still trying to do as much nothing as possible but I’m going back to school on August 19th. That is so freaking early but I just wanted to give you the most complete material I had. The rest is bits and pieces of what’s to come. Now you don’t want to read little drabbles yet, do you?

So you can still suggest baby gender and top girl and boy name for Baby Gumlee (that’s the OTP/ship name, right?) until I tell you the baby’s coming. But the baby is not coming any time soon.

If you want an estimate of when I’ll be done with this book… I want to aim for next summer. Around May/June 2014. By then the baby will be born and all that good stuff.

I try to update as often as I can, like every 10 days, but usually I have frickin writers’ block for so long and I want to write in my other books and my brain is so jumbled… Let’s just say that I wish I was on medication so I could focus on one thing at a time.

I would like to thank you all again for sticking with me this long and thank you to infinity because almost 22,000 reads… I just love you all and thank you so much. I never thought I’d get this far seriously.

Please comment, vote, and or fan! I still have no idea what the baby’s name or gender is so keep suggesting! Pic on the side, but Gumball is spooning (I guess that's what it's called)  Marshall when they fall asleep.

Love ya all,
