Little bundle of trouble- Ch1
It was a cool evening in the grasslands of Aaa and the young adventuress Fionna was in her tree fort home on the phone with her sister Cake, who was in the crystal dimension. The cat was on vacation with her boyfriend and his parents. "Yes, Cake everything is fine." Fionna chuckled
"I'm just saying… I am just a phone call away. One call and I'll be there before you can say 'sweet babies'" Cake's voice came from the receiver
"I know you will." Fionna said with a smile
"Okay. Go and get some sleep. I'll call you tomorrow night to say goodnight. Okay?"
"Yeah. Goodnight Cake. Say hi to Mo-chro and his parents for me."
"Sure, baby. Love you."
"Bye." Fionna put the phone down and yawned. It had been a long day of rescuing princes, and harder with out Cake. She was actually tired and decided to go to bed. Fionna was just getting comfortable in her bed, when she heard the exited knocking on her door. "Aw man" She whined throwing the covers off of herself she got off the bed and walked downstairs to open the front door, to her surprise it was none other than the vampire king himself "Marshall Lee? What are you doing here?" She asked confused.
"Fi, you got to help me I have a huge problem!" He exclaimed,
"Sure Marshall what can I do to help?" She asked confused and worried now, she then noticed he was carrying something small and moving in his arms.
"Well for starters, what do you know about child care?" He asked as he showed her the small baby in his arms.
Fionna's eyes widened in shock "Marshall Lee where did you get this?"
"I-I don't know where he came from. Someone knocked on my door and when I opened it… here he was." Fionna moved from the door and let him float in
"What are you going to do with it?" Fionna asked as Marshall put the baby on the couch.
"I don't know!" He exclaimed, "I brought it to you and Cake. Cake's good with kids"
"Cake isn't here." Fionna bit her lip and looked at baby
"What? Where is she?"
"She's in the crystal dimension…. Marshall Lee, this baby… what is it?"
Marshall looked at the child on the couch and shrugged then looked back to Fionna "Well can't you call her up? We really could use her help here!"
"No! I cant do that, its been a long time since she had some real quality time with Mo-chro."
The baby cooed, both Fionna and Marshall looked over to the baby on the couch. It was squishy and wearing only a diaper. It was wrapped in a brown blanket that matched its brown wolf hat. His eyes, olive green, stared back curiously.
"I don't know… I don't see anything distinguishable about him… and his scent isn't familiar."
"Is…is he a hyooman?" Fionna mumbled
"He doesn't smell like fish." Marshall said walking over to the babe. His hand reached out and grabbed one of the wolf ears on his hat "I can check."
"No!" Fionna exclaimed. "Let's… lets not." Marshall looked at her questioningly.
"Well then what? I can't go around with a baby. That's not good for my image."
"We need to find his mother." Fionna sighed
"What? But that's gonna be so much work." Marshall Lee whined
"Marshall Lee, look at him." Fionna said softly.
When Marshall Lee looked at the child, he saw it was sitting up now, a corner of the blanket in his hand and his other hand's thumb in his mouth. When the baby realized the attention was on him he took the thumb out of his mouth and smiled wide. His only two front teeth grinned back at the vampire and human. "So?" Marshall Lee shrugged, trying to hide the fact what he thought- the little squishy thing was just adorable.
"So… we need to help him."
"What's this 'we' you keep mentioning?" He huffed
"The baby was left at your house. Maybe for a reason." Fionna pointed out.
"Whatever. What do you want to do? Call Cake, like I said we should do?"
"I already told you no… Let's go see PG." She sighed
"Now?" Marshall asked with an eyebrow raised
"Yes now."
"It's like ten. Gum butt is asleep by now." He smirked
"Then we'll just have to wake him up." Fionna said as she walked over to the couch.
"He's probably going to be all bitchy that we woke him up from his beauty sleep!" Marshall said with a smirk, Fionna had to suppress her own laughter and gave Marshall a punch in the arm "Oh stop it."
Her heart stuttered as she touched the baby's delicate skin. She caressed his cheek and smiled back as the baby smiled at him. She picked him up in her arms and walked upstairs with him. She felt awkward holding the baby, it was smiling at her starring directly at her. She walked into her room and placed him on her bed as she looked through her clothes for something to dress the baby in, making sure to take quick glances at him but making sure not to look directly into his eyes. She felt like she couldnt but in reality she knew she was afraid too, she kept going over the same few things in her mind...
"Is he human or Hyooman?"
"If he is human where did he come from and are there others?"
After a while of keeping Marshall Lee waiting Fionna came back down dressed in her usual attire and the baby wearing a, too big for him, yellow sweater. She wrapped him up again in the brown blanket and held him in her arms. "Did you cheek to see what it was?"
"No." Fionna mumbled as she walked towards the door.
The two began to walk under the darkened sky, towards the candy Kingdome. The baby yawned in Fionna's arms and she looked down to see it cuddling in her arms. "What are we going to call him?"
"Huh?" Fionna looked up to the vampire
He smiled at her and chuckled, she was really enjoying the baby's comfort "What are we going to call him? We can't just keep saying 'he' 'him' or 'it'." He smirked
"Umm… how about… Josh… or Aidan, or Scott?"
"Scott?" Marshall Lee smirked
"Yeah… it's a cute name."
"Whatever." Marshall Lee rolled his eyes "Not like I was thinking 'Slash' or 'Dio' or 'Ozzy' would have been a good name."
"Ozzy? What kind of name is that?" Marshall just laughed at the comment "Nevermind, lets just go wake gumbutt up."
And so they where off to the candy Kingdome to wake up the sweet ruler and ask for his help.
