Finn the Human Man was 24 when his wife, Bonnibel Bubblegum, told him that she was expecting his child. Doctors all across the Land of Ooo had already declared Princess Bubblegum to expect a healthy baby of undescernable gender. The news had somehow leaked into the public shortly thereafter, but Finn and the Princess didn't mind: the citizens of the Candy Kingdom did well to respect their privacy (for the most part). But the Candy Kingdom wasn't what worried Finn - it was the Ice King, who was no doubt still an imminent threat the Princess, even after their marriage. What would that nerd do if he found out that PB was having a baby? For the first few months, Finn ordered heavy protection wherever the Princess went, but his attempts went short lived. She quickly tired of being crowded all the time and simply outsmarted her guards every time they were assigned to her. Fortunately, when the Ice King did drop by months later, Finn was with Bubblegum and also had his sword handy. They had been sitting outside on a faded blanket beside the Candy Kingdom's gates watching Fluffy People dance when the dreadful old ice wizard stared flying towards them with his creepy beard. He seemed to be completely ignoring Finn, his eyes on Princess Bubblegum. When he landed on the ground behind the Fluffy People, Finn quickly stood in front of the Princess and brandished his battle-worn sword.
"Ice King! Leave my wife the math alone!" As the Fluffies fled the scene, the Ice King let out one of those heaving bouts of laughter at Finn's proud emphasis on the word 'wife'. But then he caught sight of the Princess, the woman he'd failed to woo for years. Ice King stared dumbly at Princess Bubblegum, who was beginning to grow a "puffy belly" (as Finn adoringly called it, much to his wife's dismay). Then a dorky smile slithered onto his face, slightly obscured by his gross beard, which had definitely not improved in looks over the years. In fact, Finn could see what appeared to be a clump of spaghetti sauce left to dry. The hero stuck his tongue out in disgust.
"Hey, chill out, man! I'm just here to say congrats!" The Ice King, using his beard as wings yet again, fluttered over closer to Finn and the Princess. "Jeez, you are high strung,"
"Just get to the point, you dork..." Finn said with a warning in his voice, making it perfectly clear that he had something sharp and he was not afraid to use it.
"Alright, alright! It's kinda hard to think with that thing in my face, jeez..." The Ice King made a little hissing noise at Finn through squinted eyes, and with a reluctant sigh, Finn lowered his sword but did not put it away.
The King turned his gaze to the Princess and his expression and tone drastically changed. He at first spoke with his usual tone, "Hello, Priiincess! I know that you won't marry me..." Then he leaned in past Finn, so the Princess could better see his face, "But if you ever want to ditch this loser I'm available..." The Ice King said in a sly murmur, followed by a purr. The Princess let out a disgusted noise and Finn continued to scowl at the King, ready to whoop his butt if need be. "So I was thinkin' that maybe you could name your little brat after me, huh? Whadoya think?" The King said with a raised brow as Finn's face when a deep red.
For a long time since the battle with the Lich, Finn and the Ice King had somewhat 'reconciled', at least when it came to the princess. Although the Ice King didn't seem to get any older physically, he had apparently not given up on his scheme to have Princess Bubblegum, or at least he had returned to those plans. The Princess had always warned Finn not to fight the Ice King, since they wanted to peace to last as long as possible before he reverted back to his original villany.
Apparently, that time was now.
"Finn, please get rid of him," The Princess muttered behind her hand, keeping an eye on the King.
"Finally," Laying his sword on the ground, Finn rolled up his sleeves and the Ice King took a step back, raising his arms as if to use a spell. Chunks of ice came flying at Finn, who deflected most of them with the rapid flailing of his arms, although one hit him squarely on the nose. "Ow, man! That really hurt!"
Once again The Ice King's expression changed. "Oh, geez, I'm sorry..." Then he lowered his arms and shuffled forward, "Let me see...You'll be fi-"
"HYAH KICK!" Finn shouted suddenly, swinging his right leg right for the Ice King's gigantic nose, putting yet another dent in his blue face. Oh yeah, right on the mark! "You fell for my traaap!"
The Ice King jumped back, holding his nose. "AGH! Jeez, do you have to kick so hard! I would have left if you just asked! Ow...!" He muttered angrily beneath his stinky breath before leaping into the air, "You will pay for this, Finn the Human Boy! You! Will! Paaaay!"
"I'm a man now, you dingus!" Finn called through cupped hands as the Ice King flew away to his castle. "Man, what a wimp..." The hero turned around to his wife and helped her to her feet off the old blanket she'd sat on during the whole ordeal. As she handed him his sword, she passed a cautious hand over Finn's nose.
"It's fine, Peebs. Are you okay?"
The Princess rolled her eyes at the dismissal, but smiled anyway, "All is well, as usual. Gimmie a kiss, hero."
As the two left for the castle, Finn's worry was intensified. Now the Ice Dope would definitely be back, and when he had a little squirt running around, he would be on high alert until that jerk was locked away. Noticing her husbands deep thought (because of the trademark Thinkin' Face), Princess Bubblegum squeezed her husband's hand. She knew that if anything happened, Finn could take care of it. He'd saved Ooo more times than she could count, and she was uber-smart! How hard could handling a family be for Finn, the hero?
Author's Note [-]
Hey-a, everybody! I know this first chapter's a little short (and probably a bit serious for Adventure Time), but you gotta start somewhere. I know Jake was missing, but it was a romantic evening. If there's even such a thing. I'm not really into romance, but ever since it was obvious that PB and Finnie would hook up, I always wondered what their kid would look like! Get ready for some mini-adventures, this is about to get fluffy.
The story, by the way, starts (about) 15 years after the show. PB and Finn are already married, and so are Jake and Lady, by the way. I'll probably show their weddings in flashbacks later, if you guys're interested! Better descriptions of the characters in the next chapter, I promise! It'll be a month-by-month of PB's pregnancy.
Thanks for reading!
