"I'll go reheat your dinner, and when you're finished, I want you to go apologize to the others for worrying them, then it's off to bed, okay?" Nicole said.

"Okay, I'll tell them" gumball said as he got off his mother's lap.

Nicole went to reheat her son's dinner and gumball went to go sit-down at the dinner table.

"Ow" gumball said as he sat down, then immediately got up.

"What's wrong gumball?" Nicole asked concerned.

"Nothing" gumball said trying to hide the fact that his bottom was very sore from the spanking.

"Okay, well here's your dinner" Nicole said putting gumballs dinner in front of him.

"Thanks" gumball said sitting on his knees for obvious reasons, which is mom didn't notice.

After gumball was done eating, when upstairs to his parents room to apologize to his father.

"Dad?" gumball asked as he entered the room.

"Yes gumball, what is it?" Richard asked.

Gumball immediately when to his father and hugged him.

"I'm sorry I worried you" gumball said as he hugged his father.

Richard returned the hug.

"It's alright gumball, I forgive you" Richard said continuing to embrace gumball in the hug.

Once gumball was done with his father, he headed to his room to talk with Darwin and anais.

As soon as gumball opened his bedroom door, he was greeted with a hug from his sister.

"Gumball, are you alright?" anais asked.

"I'm fine, why?" gumball asked.

"Because we heard mom spanking you" Darwin answered for anais.

"Oh that, well don't worry, it doesn't hurt that much" gumball said then felt is butt sting and let out an ow, which Darwin and anais noticed.

"Okay, it hurts a little" gumball said rubbing his backside.

"I can imagine" Darwin said feeling sorry for his brother.

"Anyway, I want to tell you guys, I'm sorry for worrying you like that" gumball said as he held anais tighter.

"It's okay gumball, were not angry with you, and were just glad you're safe" Darwin said.

"Thanks" gumball said relieved.

"Gumball, can I sleep with you tonight" anais asked.

"Sure anais" gumball said then got ready for bed.

(10 minutes later)

Gumball, in the bathroom doing his nightly duties, reflected on the past couple of hours of apologizing to his family. He hadn't meant to cause such an unsettling feeling in them. He thought he'd be helping by retrieving his brothers lost lunch box. It's was what he thought he needed to do since it was his fault he lost it in the first place.

After he was done he started back to his room to go to sleep for the night; hoping that by the time he awoke the next day he would forget this ever his surprise, his mother was waiting for him; sitting on the bed looking down at what looked like a tube in her hand.

"Mom?" Gumball asked to alert her of his presence, "What are doing here?"

Nicole looked up at her puzzled son ready to answer. "Well Gumball, I just thought that after what had to be done you'd still be in a bit of pain." Gumball, turning away for a moment, had felt some lingering after affect from the spanking received earlier.

"I didn't want you to go to bed uncomfortable, so I thought I'd rub some lotion on your…..you know." Nicole said. Gumball, a bit embarrassed that his mother wanted to rub lotion on his behind, looked back at her and replied.

"Thank you for the lotion mom, but I think I can do it myself."gumball said

"Are you sure?" Nicole asked out of reassurance.

"I think I know my body pretty well to handle rubbing lotion on it." Gumball replied as Nicole handed him the lotion. She then hugged him.

"I love you so much" nicole said then gave her son a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you too" gumball said hugging his mom back before kissing her.

"Goodnight gumball, I love you too, see you tomorrow" Nicole said.

"Goodnight, I love you" gumball said then his mom exited the bedroom, closed the door and headed to bed herself.

Gumball held anais close him, and before going to sleep, kissed her forehead, then drifted off to sleep.
