This is the updated Chapter 2, I've changed it slightly from the the original.
"Well, he's out cold." Jake commented after a moment of sniffing the unconscious Billy.
"In that case Jake, take him to the infirmary, Doctor Ice Cream and Princess will watch over him and alert us immediately when he comes around." The Candy Queen instructed calmly. Even though she kept tight control over her expressions, I could see she was troubled by the threat of both the Lich and the Naga. Jake stretched into a stretcher(See what I did there? :P) and lifted Billy onto himself, heading to the infirmary.
Lady Rainicorn muttered something to Jake before flying out the window in a hurry, I turned to Jake with a puzzled look before he said "Oh it's fine, she just needs to head back to check on the pups, nothing to worry about man."
"Oh right then, let's go." I turned and followed Jake and the others into the medical wing of the castle. When we got to one of the private rooms, Jake put Billy on the bed with as much care as he would a newborn baby, he was handling our idol after all. I took this time to study Billy's grey weathered face, it was lined with old battle scars and wrinkles and his beard looked more disheveled than a beard possibly could. The last time we saw him he looked old but strong and healthy, now... he just looked old. His grey hair had thinned out even more and his chiseled muscular body seemed much thinner than I remembered, the past few years must have been hard on Billy indeed to have brought this once great warrior to this state.
The Candy Queen seemed to share my thoughts "Oh Billy, how the great have fallen." She sighed, bending over the hero and planting a kiss on his forehead.
Jake's eyes widened to the size of saucepans "Wait a minute Bubblegum's mom, were you dating Billy?"
"Well, not exactly." She sheepishly looked at her shoes while fiddling with her dress nervously.
"Then what is it mom?" Bubblegum suddenly seemed rather interested "And how come this is the 1st time I'm hearing about this?"
"Well, that's all not important. We have bigger problems for the moment, I'll tell you some other time dear. What I will tell you now is that part of your DNA came from Billy, in a way, he is your father."
Bubblegum's eyes widened in surprise, taken aback for a moment. "Oh. My. Glob. Mom! How have you not mentioned this to me? I-I need some time to think."
"That will be good for everyone darling, Billy can rest and we all get some space to ponder the events coming to pass."
"C'mon Finn, lets go home. I've had enough adventure for today."
For once, I'm inclined to agree. The day was mentally and physically exhausting. "Lets go have that spaghetti dinner and spend the night watching movies in the tree house, maybe tomorrow we can visit Billy if he wakes. How does that sound?" I gave the best grin I could manage.
"That does sound great right about now." She agreed, hugging my arm and resting her head on my shoulder. I exhaled, feeling the blood flow to my cheeks and the sudden increase in body temperature.
"Bye mom."
"Bye your highness."
"Bye you two!"
Once out of earshot, I turn to PB, "Hey, Princess? How does it feel to know that you're the daughter of Billy? I mean, you have hero blood in you! You have the-" I was cut off by her putting her finger on my lips.
"Finn, I'm not his daughter." she began
"But-" Once again I was cut off by her finger.
"Finn, Just because I have his DNA doesn't make me his child, I barely know him. I grew up without any experiences with him, only my mother. He didn't raise me, didn't play with me and he definitely doesn't know me." she was surprisingly serene, stating all this with a cool nonchalance.
She turned to look at me, staring straight into my eyes. "Enough adventure for today eh? Lets just relax for tonight, we can leave the problems for tomorrow.
I certainly didn't protest, wanting some alone time with my girlfriend too. "C'mon, let's race to the tree house, last one there will cook the spaghetti and do the dishes."
"You're on!" she broke away from me and dashed away
"Hey! No fair!" I started after her, laughing.
