Gumball walked out of the bathroom to find Marshall Lee curled up in the covers hugging his pillow tight sound asleep. He smiled and kissed the sleeping vampire's forehead.
"I love you Mar Mar." The vampire shifted at the touch and mumbled a response that the pink man couldn't make out but he new it was somewhere between an "I love you too" and a "you better". He tucked his husband in tight before he left the room to tend to his duties slowly shutting the door behind him.
Marshall woke up latter to find the room silent and dark. He slowly sat up and pushed the covers off him. He smiled when he saw a deep red rose sitting on the nightstand a note lying under it. He slid the note out form under the rose and read it as he picked up the rose with the other hand.
I thought you would like a treat when you got up. I love you- Gummy
Marshall smiled. "Even though I haven't been able to really hold anything down in over a week he still takes the time to get me treats, unbelievable." He cautiously bit into the rose and drained the flower of the deep red hue changing it into a beautiful snow white.
As he expected it wasn't ten minutes latter he was kneeling in front of the toilet gripping the porcelain sides gagging as what little was in his stomach came up. He sighed and leaned against the wall and placed his hand on his stomach.
"You are determined to make this hell on me aren't you?" He chuckled a little then bit his lip and listened carefully to make sure no one was near to hear him talking. He slowly stood up and moved to the sink brushing his teeth. I can't believe I said that out loud. I can't let anyone know.
He heard a knock on the door so he turned off the water and walked over to the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's the zombie queen here to eat your undead brains." He laughed and opened the door to see the blond haired adventure he called his best friend (besides Gumball that is)
"Hey Fi." He stepped aside to let the girl in.
"Gumball sent me up here to see if you wanted to come hang with me at the tree house since you've been cooped up in here all week and he can't take you out because of that stupid conference thing he's leaving for. "
"Sounds great just let me get ready." Marshall went to his closet and just picked out a pair of black jeans and a red t- shirt which he quickly slipped them on and grabbed his umbrella. After bidding Gumball goodbye Fiona and him made there way over to the tree house.
They barely could see the tree house when a smell hit Marshall's nose and it made his stomach turn in circles. He took a deep breath trying to keep from throwing up. It smelled like something was burning but it was something sweet because the air seemed to be sugary.
"Do you smell that Fi?" She took a deep breath and turned to her friend puzzled on what he was referring to.
"All I smell in grass."
"You don't smell that burning"
"You must be imaging it Marsh."
They continued toward the tree house the smell increasing as the got closer. When they were only about a year away did Fiona smell the burning that was coming from inside the tree house.
They found Marceline standing in front of the stove setting a tray filled with burn sugar cookies on it.
"Damn It." Fiona smiled and went over and hugged her girlfriend smiling.
"Its ok we'll make more latter." Marceline kissed her girlfriend then turned to see her brother standing there.
"How you feeling baby bro?" she flew over to where he brother was standing.
"I was feeling better until we came over the hill before the meadow. I could smell those burning and now my stomachs doing summer salts." She hugged her brother.
"I'm sorry Marshall. How about you go lay down on the couch and I'll fix you a glass of sprite with extra red food coloring. How does that sound?"
Marshall nodded and went and laid down Fiona close behind sitting on the floor next to her friend.
A few minutes latter Marshall had his drink and his sister had felt him with a hug and Fiona with a kiss as she went off to play a gig.
Fiona turned to face her friend. "Marsh what's going on?"
Marshall set his glass down and propped himself up on his elbow. "What do you mean Fi?"
"You know as well as I do Marsh even with your vampire super powerful sense of smell you can't normally smell all the way across the meadow you can only smell across half of it. " Marshall went to interrupt his friend but she kept going thinking out loud. "And the only thing I can think of that would increase someone sense of smell would be that they were.." he eyes grew wide as she turned to her friend. "Marsh are you pregnant?"
Marshall felt the tears slip out of his eyes, as he couldn't hold them in anymore. Unable to speak he just nodded answering his friend's question.
Fiona gently rapped her arms around the crying vampire. "Hush it's going to be alright."
"How is it going to be alright? " Fiona could barely understand her friends threw is heart wrenching sobs. "Gumball has already said he doesn't want kids. Oh my glob. Please don't tell anyone. Especially Gumball and Marcy. No one else can no about this."
"Marshall calm down." She waited until her friend and calmed down.
"Now you need to tell Gumball, It is his baby after all."
Marshall was looking down at the floor silently crying. "But he'll leave me."
Fiona rubbed her friends back gently. "No he won't he loves you Marsh. Now why don't you give him a call and I'll stay right here with you okay?"
Marshall nodded and pulled his phone out quickly pulling up Gumballs name and hitting call. It rang a couple times before it was picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Gummy it's me."
"Oh hey Mar Mar. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah everything is okay it's just I have something important to tell you."
"What is it Mar Mar?" Marshall could hear the worry in the Princes' voice.
Marshall took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant."
