Ch2

"Are you really naming him Scott?" Marshall Lee asked mockingly

"I don't know…Better than naming him Ozzy." Fionna stuck out her tongue

"Whatever. I've been thinking about the mother, what kind of mother just abandons her baby on some dudes doorstep?" Marshall Lee asked as floated by Fionna

"A woman who was under a lot of pressure probably." Fionna said looking down at the sleeping baby in her arms. It cuddled into her warmly

"So much pressure that she leaves her baby at the house of the vampire king? I could've eaten him." Marshall said emotionless

"But you didn't." Fionna said looking back at him, "You wouldn't."

Marshall Lee turned away from her smile. "I could've." He floated ahead silent for the rest of the walk.

As they entered the sleeping candy Kingdome, they were silent. It wasn't until they reached the sugary fortress that Fionna began to knock loudly. Loudly enough that she woke up the baby. He looked at her curiously- but not afraid. Apparently used to loud noises. Prince Gumball himself, looking tired as someone who hadn't slept in days, opened the door. He frowned at the sight of them. "What in glob's name are you doing here? Its ten thirty at night!" He said irritated "You have no idea how long I've been working in my lab and I finally got to sleep tonight and you interrupt me by-" Gumball was cut off by the baby's laughter that drew everyone's attention. (C'mon, if you see a yelling pink guy, you'd laugh too.) Fionna opened her mouth to answer, but was interrupted as Gumball yelled, "What in the name of glob is that?" The candy prince looked up to see Marshall Lee floating behind the human, silent. "Is…Is this yours?" He asked softer and with a look of horror. Before they could respond, he became enraged again "IS this yours?"

"Gumball, please-" the human tried to explain but she got cut off again

"What were you thinking? You're only 16! And Marshall Lee, you're over 1000! You should've been more careful! You should've done nothing at all! I can't believe I didn't notice this! Glob! Does Cake know about-?" Marshall Lee cut off the prince putting his hand over his mouth. He tried to pry him off, to no avail.

Fionna then took the chance to explain what happened. "Marshall Lee found him on his door step. We're looking for his mother. No, he's not ours. And you're not telling Cake. She'll come back and go crazy over this. I want her to enjoy sometime with Mo-chro and to show her I can handle stuff like this."

Gumball sighed, "Come in." He moved from the door way and let the three in.

"Is something wrong, I heard screaming!" Peppermint maid ran into the living room as the four settle down. "Oh!" She said upon sight of the baby "Is he yours miss Fionna?"

Fionna just sighed, "Can we just go to the den?" Fionna said a bit irritated.

"Peppermint, could you please be a dear and get us some tea?" Gumball sighed, "I think I need it." The maid nodded and left them. Gumball sat on the couch, closed his robe tighter (He didn't want his pink berries to show), and looked across from him at Marshall Lee on the corner of his couch with Fionna and the baby in her lap.

"She wants to find his mom." Marshall Lee said putting it all on Fionna

"And I agree." Gumball said as Peppermint brought in his tea. She served them all.

"You do?" Marshall Lee asked

"Yes. We can help his mother." Gumball said, "Something terrible must have happened for her to just give away her baby."

"That's what I said!" Fionna smiled, upon her smile the baby giggled. The attention was on him again

"Marshall Lee, I am aware that you can pick up scents." Gumball said sipping his tea "Of course." Marshall Lee sighed

"Very well. You and Fionna get right to it. Meanwhile, Fionna, I believe the child should stay here with me, he will be safe here."

"NO! I mean no. That's alright PG I have no problem taking him with me while we look for his parents." Fionna laughed uneasily

"That's the point Fionna he is to young to be taken out adventuring, it's too dangerous. Lets face it you won't be able to protect him during a fight."

"What. Was. That?" PG shrunk back a bit as Fionna advanced "I am SO capable of taking care of this child and myself! I have saved you from Ice Queen countless times! Not to mention the time you injured your leg and I had to fend off the ice queen and carry you out of here palace at the same time!"

"Fionna, please I didn't mean to offend you-"

"No! I know what you meant exactly! You know what PG me and Marshy can handle this ourselves" She stomps off carrying the baby.

Marshall just looked at Fionna walk away then back to PG "Smooth Move Gum butt!" He teased,

"You know I didn't mean it like that, right?" Gumball sighed

"Yeah I got ya; just you know, she is hard headed."

"Look, just take care of her and the baby alright?"

"No I was gonna have him as a snack" he said sarcastically while rolling his eyes

"I wouldn't put it past you," He said with a smirk

Marshall just looks at him with a curious face "Did you just make a joke?"

Gumball chuckled "I'll get peppermint maid to get you some diapers and baby things from our old nursery."

Gumball rose and walked towards the direction peppermint maid left in. A few minutes later, he came back with a diaper bag. "Man…" Marshall Lee whined, as he slung the strap of the diaper bag over his shoulder. "This is so not good for my image." When he looked up at Gumball, the smirk left his face

"Just be careful, okay? I saw by the way she was holding the baby that this is really important to her." Marshall nodded and floated out of the castle with PG behind him to close the door. He was not surprised to see Fionna had not waited for him. He sighed and began to float towards her house.

When Marshall Lee entered the house, he found Fionna going on, yelling, and pacing back and forth. The baby was uneasy as well, sitting on the couch watching Fionna. "That…jerk! How dare he think I'm not capable of this! I saved him!"

"Hey, you wanted to go see him." Marshall Lee smirked

"Oh and I regret it!" Fionna exclaimed pointing a finger at Marshall

"And you went off on him." He laughed floating towards the couch.

He sat next to the baby who was frowning. "I was mad." Fionna said sighing. "He just got me so mad!" Fionna exclaimed and at that moment, the baby began to cry. "Oh, no. Marshall Lee, what did you do?" She ran over and picked up the baby

"Me?" Marshall Lee pointed to himself "I didn't even touch the thing!" Marshall Lee exclaimed angrily as he floated to the opposite side

"Maybe, he's hungry." Fionna said taking the bag from the couch. She looked through it and found some powdered milk. "I'll be back." She ran into the kitchen placing the baby into Marshall's hands. The baby kept crying.

"Shut up!" Marshall Lee yelled at it, keeping it at arms length unsure what to do.

"I think I got it!" Fionna said rushing to the baby and snatching it from Marshall. When she tried to give him the bottle, he looked away. "What is it baby? What do you need?" Fionna asked freaking out

"Call Cake!" Marshall Lee yelled

"No!" Fionna protested, "I got this." She picked up the baby and took the bag. She gulped and left the room. Marshall Lee waited curiously in the living room. When Fionna came back, she was holding a diaper and the baby was still crying

"Well?"

"I changed him…" She mumbled shaking her disgust off and hold down some bile "But he's still crying."

"Maybe he's tired." Marshall Lee offered taking the baby from her arms. He floated over to the couch, the baby at arms length and placed it on the couch. He began to strum his bass lightly. The baby was still crying. "What's wrong with you?" Marshall Lee asked angrily, offended the thing didn't like his music

"Here." Fionna said as she walked over and cuddled the baby. With one hand, she reached into her pack and pulled out her dad's music box. "Crank it." Fionna said as she sat on the couch and rocked the baby. Marshall Lee rolled his eyes and began to crank the box, he floated besides Fionna. Fionna began to sing the gentle lullaby. She looked down to see the baby dozing off just as Marshall Lee stopped due to his own eyes slowly closing. Fionna herself felt her eyes droop.

Fionna was the first to awake. Used to waking up early with Cake she was the first to awaken. When Fionna opened her eyes, she saw that she was rested against Marshall Lee, his arm around her and the baby cradled by them both. It was a comfortable position and if it wasn't for the fact that Marshall Lee's own eyes were starting to open she wouldn't have moved. "Umm…" He said when his eyes opened and her's where right there. "Morning."

"Morning." Fionna mumbled as she quickly got up. She began to walk towards the stairs, hiding her blushing face.

"Don't… don't take too long. We better head out soon… before night catches us and this thing starts to cry again." as he looked down into the babies eyes and whispered "You... you know that was just an accident right?" the baby began to giggle.
