Pair of hearts: Marcus
Chapter 7
Reminisce
It's been a few days; Fionna didn't bring up the immortal thing after what Marshall told her. She didn't want to fight with him, she worked hard to get him back and she wasn't about to get him to run away again. Fionna sighed, she cared for Marcus during that time in her usual schedule where she took the morning shift and him the night one but after they started feeding him solid foods, and he never woke up in the morning so they had to change their schedules. They both wake up in the morning and take turns caring for him. Fionna has gotten use to this routine but lately she's been getting urges to fight and punch something lately, she's been having them before but now she wants to hurt something.
Fionna paced around the living room while holding Marcus who was half asleep in her arms. Fionna had to stay home while Marshall went out to get some groceries. She offered to do it but Marshall insisted she stay home with Marcus. She hated staying home but Marcus needed her and they couldn't risk bringing him out into the sun since he always seemed to develop a sort of rash or cry uncontrollably whenever they went out; even when he's covered. Marshall suspects that it's because he's not use to the sun. Fionna huffed, she sat down on the couch groaning again at how hard it was; she shifted uncomfortable in it until she found a good spot that was soft enough.
She sighed and laid back, she looked down at her son, and Marcus was almost asleep in her arms. It made her smile but it did not kill her motivation to go to a dungeon or kick some monster's butt. It was cute yes but it didn't help Fionna grumbled, she headed up stairs and put Marcus down in his crib so he can sleep. Fionna went down stairs and sat back on the couch, she had nothing to do. She sat around on the couch until she finally decided to call Cake. She took the bug like creature from the end table and crushed it into a phone. She dialed the tree house's number, she hadn't talk to Cake in a few days, she promised to call every day or so but she's been putting it off. She hoped Cake wasn't freaking out or anything.
"Hey Cake, what's up?" Fionna asked, being her usual cheery self.
"Fionna! Where on Aaa have you been!? Why haven't you called me yet?" Cake sounded like sounded like she was frighten
"I'm okay Cake; I was just busy with Marcus and his check-ups. That's all." Fionna rolled my eyes.
"Check-ups? Why would he need check-ups Fionna, it thought he was healthy" Cake stated.
"I know but what we noticed was that Marcus was aging and stuff, I didn't tell you this on out last phone call but Doctor Prince told us he was okay. Marshall and I had a tough time trying to fix our schedule since he doesn't get up in the night anymore." Fionna bit on her finger to distract herself again.
"Oh well, I'm sure if Doctor Prince says he's okay then good. Wouldn't want my little nephew to have anything wrong with him." Cake giggled
Fionna found it cute that Cake called Marcus her nephew; she wasn't biologically his auntie but she still treated him like he was- just as Cake treated Fionna as her own sister. Cake was the best.
"Yeah, we're just introducing solid foods to him and putting for vitamins and iron in his diet; it's a pain really." Fionna chuckled.
"Ah well that's what having a family is all about." Cake giggled again.
"Well how would you know, your kids grew up and are older then you or something." Fionna remembered Cake had babies of her own but they grew up fast.
"Hey don't talk about that, they still visit their momma and such." Cake sounded mad.
"Cake I didn't mean any harm or whatever; I just meant to compare them. My son is part vampire who means he'll age slower and stop aging when he hits a certain age. Yours are part monochromicorn which means they age faster." Fionna stated as she heard a fuming Cake.
"Maybe we should stop talking about babies." Cake sighed. "How about we talk about you and Marshall? So how have things been? Mmmmm?"
Fionna rolled her eyes. "We're good, everything is just peachy."
"Uh huh, reached tier 15 again?" Cake giggled.
Fionna gasped, covering her mouth. "No! I vowed not to have sex until I was 18."
"That's not what you did during your pregnancy." Cake sounded so smug.
"What! How did you know about that?" Fionna was red in the face.
"BMO, she saw you guys and thought you were wrestling." Cake sounded like she was going to laugh but she held it back.
Fionna groaned. "Well I renewed my vow, because I'm not sleeping with Marshall until I am 18."
"What about your honeymoon when you're married baby? What you going to do then?" Cake asked.
"Easy, we're not getting married until I am 18 so it's perfect." Fionna grinned.
"I see well let's hope you keep this vow straight and no funny business okay? Good bye Fi, I have to go take care of things with Kim Kil wan." Cake said as someone in the background was calling for her.
"Alright Cake, chat yam later." Fionna giggled as she hung up.
Fionna sighed as she crushed the phone that turned back into a bug; she set it down on the end table again. She looked around her house to see all the decorations of trophies, various gold and jewels hung on the walls, weapons she favored were beside the TV set and of course; her prized demon blood sword hung above the TV set. Fionna smiled, she started to remembered the old days were she would go adventuring like there was no tomorrow. She remembered when she beat the Ice Queen's butt, destroyed the Lich, beat Ashley up, met her hero Betty; those were the good days. Adventuring all day and every day of the week- hell the whole year she did that. She smiled, her mind was filling with all the adventures she had had ever since she first started. Her favorite adventure was when she went through that dungeon her mom made for her. It was awesome, burger and hotdog monsters, gross monster, fruit witches, and one ugly monster that was evil and easy to beat. Fionna sighed; it was good to be an adventuress instead of a mom and a fiancé.
It wasn't until now that Fionna realized that she missed adventuring but her son and Marshall were getting in the way of it all. They were both needy in their own way, Marcus required a lot of attention and care while Marshall required her help with him and he required bedroom time as well as cuddle time with her. It was hard to juggle all their needs at once, Fionna sighed; she wondered how she even winded up in this mess. All she did was sleep with Marshall then boom! Baby and baby led to motherhood and it led to this. It was awful.
Why did she ever have to become a mother?
looks like Fionna is missing her adventuring years already regretting her son and her engagement.
