Me and my Gummy

part 8

Gumball's POV

It was the next morning and very late I may add. It was 1130am. I've never woken up this late but considering all that's happened i guess it's ok.

Marshall was still sleeping quietly in my arms. I smiled when I saw him. He was so peaceful and comfortable I'd hate to wake him up.

He then started stirring in his sleep. He didnt wake up but he started to tremble and sweat. That turned into him thrashing around and screaming. I was getting increasingly worried. I tried to wake him up but it wasnt working.

I yelled for help, Dr.prince and a few others rushed in. We had to hold Marshall down since he kept kicking and screaming. Dr.prince had a small tranquilizer that helped calm Marshall down and he went back to a quiet sleep.

"Why has this happened?" I asked.

He sighed "it could be that a trauma has resurfaced and due to that its causing him to have nightmares that are difficult to wake him up from. He will wake up soon. The tranquilizer only calmed him down and released enough endorphins that'll keep him calm for a while. He will be ok but you two need to talk especially if this happens again"

With that he and others walked out leaving me alone with a sleeping Marshall.

a trauma?

There was only one trauma I knew that affected Marshall more than anything and it was Ashley, and with what ice queen did to me, what she did to us.

My blood was boiling. Rage had filled every part of me and the feeling of wanting to kill that vile woman grew at each second.

I looked over at Marshall. He was still sleeping, then looked over to the window.

I could do the deed and be back before he wakes up.

No you cant gummy I wont let you.

I was startled and very confused about where this voice came from. I looked back at Marshall who was sitting up against the head board of the bed.

He was glaring at me.

"Why not?" I asked in a slightly angry tone.

"Because it will darken your heart if you do. It's in my nature to be evil but for someone as pure as you....I don't want to see you tainted because of me..."
He tilted his head down and had a sad look on his face.
My anger had settled and I walk over to him and picked his head up slightly with my hand.

"Marshall you are not evil, if you were I wouldnt be dating you" he gave me a small smile.
I decided to head Marshall pleas and not take action no matter how much I wanted to.

~Later that day~

Marshall and I had a calm day and we talked about his nightmares and went to Dr.Prince to get some advice. After that we walked around the castle talking.

I was still angry about yesterday and I didn't want to let that woman live, but Marshall helped me realize that if I did it would be giving her what she wants and falling to her level and that's the last thing I want.

At the end of the day we retired to our room and lied down, not exhausted but definitely tired from all the events that have been played out.

3rd POV

"Hey bubba?"
"Yes Marshall?"
"Why do you think she did that to us?....I mean I know she doesnt remember me anymore even after I've tried so many times.....but I just dont get it....."
"I dont know Marshy....maybe she was jealous of us"
"Maybe...."

It was clear to gumball that Marshall has missed ice queen before she turned into what she is now and he was sad she no longer remembers him.

Gumballs gears were turning and he suddenly came up with an idea.

"What if I can conquer some kind of memory elixir? Something to jog her memory of her past life with you?"

Marshall's eyes lit up.

"You can do that?"
"I might be able to, it's not a guarantee but it's possible"
"Please gummy, please try....she's like a mother to me....or she used to be"

Gumball gave him a smile, but underneath he was hesitant and unsure about it.....
