(Author Note: I am so sorry for the LONG wait, as I mentioned in "Reunion and Secrets Revealed" (Which you should all read before you read this Chapter BTW) I got a little burnt out from updating so often so I needed a break. I'm rested up and I've got my muse back so I hope you enjoy the final Chapters of this Fanfic!)

Fionna and Cake were getting ready to head back to Aaa, they enjoyed their time in Ooo especially with the revelation that Finn and Fionna were Brother and Sister and their birth Mother was alive (read "Reunion and Secrets Revealed"). But it was time to head back and protect their own land. Fionna hugged Finn tightly, as if she was worried that she'd never see him again.
"Take care Finn...and come back to Aaa again sometime will you?"
Finn nodded and hugged her back.
"You take care too Fionna...and I will."
Fionna reluctantly let go and looked at Princess Bubblegum.
"Take care of each other."
Princess Bubblegum nodded with a smile, her hand noticably resting on her stomach.
"We will...you two are welcome back here at any time."
Fionna smiled back before she and Cake climbed onto Lord Chromacorn's back and waved to Finn and Princess Bubblegum as they flew off. Finn and Princess Bubblegum waved back until they were out of sight and then Finn turned his attention to Princess Bubblegum, noticing she was holding her stomach with one hand. He walked over to her, a concerned look on his face.
"PB is something the matter?..."
Princess Bubblegum shook her head, a radiant smile on her face.
"Earlier this week I started to feel ill, I was throwing up alot and was getting stomach cramps. I saw Doctor Ice Cream just today to see what was the matter and Finn...I have some great news."
Finn looked at her confused, how could her feeling sick be good news?
"What is it PB?"
Princess Bubblegum took Finn's hands into her own and gazed into his eyes.
"I'm pregnant Finn."
Finn's eyes widened like saucers.
"Pregnant?!...With a baby?"
Princess Bubblegum giggled, despite the fact he was almost 20 Finn still had that child like innocence.
"Yes Finn. You're going to be a Father."
Finn stared at her in shock, before a wide smile formed on his face as he hugged her tightly.
"MATHMATICAL!"
Princess Bubblegum wrapped her arms around Finn's neck and rested her head on his chest, tears of happiness forming in her eyes.
"Yes...very Mathmatical."
8 and 1/2 Months Later
Candy Kingdom
Medical Ward
6:00 pm
Finn was waiting anxiously in the Waiting Room, his brother Jake and his Wife Lady Rainicorn by his side who were trying to keep him calm. It had been almost 2 hours since Finn took Princess Bubblegum to Dr. Ice Cream's Office when she started having pre-Birth contractions and her water broke. Finn couldn't help the nervousness he felt, he was about to become a Father, and in the back of his mind he was having worries.
What if something goes wrong?! What if there are complications?! What if...
"Am I late?"
Finn's thoughts were interrupted by the surprise appearance of Marceline who had been in seclusion in her Cave for nearly a year avoiding everyone.
"Marceline?..."
Marceline crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Finn and Jake.
"Glob damn it are you two deaf?! I said AM I LATE?! "
Finn and Jake both shook their heads frantically, suddenly feeling afraid of Marceline for the first time since they were caught hiding in her closet.
"No!"
Marceline smiled.
"Ok good."
Marceline sat next to Finn and Jake who both stared at her, Jake whispered into Finn's ear.
"I almost browned myself...Glob she can be scary."
Finn nodded in agreement. Suddenly the door to Doctor Ice Cream's Office opened and Doctor Ice Cream emerged, sweaty and had some blood on his scrubs. Finn stood up.
"Did everything go alright Doctor?"
Doctor Ice Cream nodded with a smile.
"Everything went perfectly Finn, you may see them now."
Finn didn't need to be told twice, he gently pushed Doctor Ice Cream aside as he entered his office. Princess Bubblegum was sitting up in bed and holding an asleep human baby wrapped in a blanket, a radiant smile on the new Mother's face. Princess Bubblegum looked up when she saw Finn enter and smiled at him.
"Come in Finn...and meet your Daughter."
Finn smiled back in both relief and happiness as he approached Princess Bubblegum's bedside, never taking his eyes off her or his newborn Daughter. Once he was close to Princess Bubblegum they shared a kiss and she gently handed her Daughter to Finn who carefully took her into his arms and stared down at her.
"She's beautiful..."
Princess Bubblegum smiled.
"Yes she is..."
Jake and Marceline quietly entered the room as well, Jake smiling when he saw his new Niece.
"Wow...she's a cutie. Have you two thought of a name?"
Finn nodded as Princess Bubblegum took the baby back and started to gently rock her back and forth.
"Yeah...we've gone back and forth on a few names but we ultimately decided to name her after my Sister Fionna. After all, she helped me alot when I was looking for the Wizard Steps and I probably wouldn't have achieved what I did without her."
Marceline smiled when she saw the happy couple and their Daughter, she came out of her Cave only to see her born and then go. But as she was about to turn and leave both Finn and Princess Bubblegum turned their attention to her.
"Marceline wait...don't go."
Marceline turned around and looked at them.
"Huh?"
Princess Bubblegum looked at her.
"I said don't go...please. Me and Finn have something to ask you."
A little confused, Marceline nodded and floated back over to them.
"What do you wanna ask?"
Finn and Princess Bubblegum looked at each other, both nodding as if confirming something to each other before turning back to Marceline.
"Marceline...me and PB want you to be Fionna's Godmother."
Marceline's eyes widened.
"Me?!"
Finn and Princess Bubblegum both quickly placed their fingers over their lips and hushed Marceline, fortunately despite Marceline's outburst Fionna was still asleep.
"Sorry...why me?"
Princess Bubblegum smiled at her.
"Why? Because you're my best friend Marceline, you're the only person I trust besides Finn and Jake of course. There's no one we'd rather have be Fionna's Godmother."
Marceline still wasn't convinced.
"B...but I...Finn Jake would be a better candidate after all he's your family."
Finn placed his hands on Marceline's shoulder, a smile crossing his face as well.
"Marceline you silly Vampire...you are family to us too."
Marceline wanted to doubt Finn's words, but when she saw the sincerity in both his and Princess Bubblegum's eyes any anger or bitterness she had was washed away. Washed away by the tears of happiness that formed in her eyes as she embraced both Finn and Princess Bubblegum, being careful of Fionna.
"Thank you...I accept."
Both Finn and Princess Bubblegum returned the hug.
