Gumball is twenty eight weeks pregnant, which is seven months!
Edit: In the second part of this I will be pumping his weeks up to twenty nine, for the first time! I don't know why I didn't do it before, but I am in this chapter!
"Third trimester, baby! Whoop Whoop!" Marshall cheered making Gumball laugh along with Fionna. The last six weeks went by in a blur, it seemed, with dealing of balancing out his needs without going overboard with Gumball and the baby's needs, the symptoms of insomnia and the increased hunger made the six weeks seemed way to long but also short. The third trimester, thankfully, meant it was almost over and with it being almost over means there would be a new little playmate for the twins.
Who, at this point of eight months, were doing magnificently! Kaitlynn and Asher were plump, perfectly healthy eight months old making Fionna and Flame Prince ever so happy at this developmental growth. They'd been told that being at six months, even if that was the longest in the Flame Kingdom's human records, a human birth at six months would mean the human baby would have problems, developmental delays of some sort, but here the twins were strong and healthy.
Now a days Kaitlynn is what was known as a reflexive crier when her brother began to cry and whimper, she'd immediately begin wailing and crying in response and it was both cute and sad at the same time. The twins both had their favorite toy, made by Cake, who'd been waiting eagerly for the day when the twins would need a toy; Kaitlynn had a cat plushie, which looked suspiciously like a black and white version of her Aunt Cake, and Asher had gotten a plushie that looked like the flame part of a candle wick, adorably cute anyhow.
"Yup! That means two more months, baby! Whoop!" Fionna echoed happily from her spot on the couch, curled into Flame King's side happily. Kaitlynn was crawling across the floor, like a tiny tank and her brother watched with wide blue eyes before he began to crawl after her, all be it a little slower. "I can't wait to see what kind of baby you guys have made!"
"Same here! Oh by the way, Bubs, Doctor Prince said this month is crucial into next month because you'll start having something called Braxton Hicks contractions." Marshall replied when Kaitlynn came crawling up to him gurgling cutely and yanking herself up right on her feet by using his pants. She stood like that, squealing, bouncing happily in place while she clung to him and Asher copied his elder sister, then squealed in joy as well.
"Oh I know bout those!" Fionna jumped in brightly while Flame King trailed his fingers up and down her forearm. "Doctor Prince said those are kinda like your uterus or groin area squeezing up and relax! They're also false labor pains, which makes most women too eager to brush it off! He only told me about it because I was six months at the time and told him bout it." She paused then grinned sheepishly. "Besides, PG, your twenty eight weeks, your freaking huge!"
Gumball scowled softly at Fionna with no heat behind it but he sighed and rubbed his belly. It was true, he was only seven months but he WAS pretty large and rounded off rather perfectly at this point. "I honestly don't know what's worse this month. The fatigue, back pain, heartburn, the forming stretch marks, the foot and leg cramps, peeing so much, insomnia, not being able to get good breathes sometimes. Or maybe it's the hot flashes and the mood changes that are the most annoying to deal with."
"I'd say the insomnia, peeing so much and the mood swings are the worst this month for me!" Marshall put in sitting on the arm of the couch, placing the twins down off his pants, sitting next to Gumball and laughing when the pink prince whacked his stomach playfully. He then ruffled the prince's pink hair happily when Fionna's eyes locked onto something then gasping and jumping up.
"What. Is. That? " She questioned with a gasp, pointing at Gumball's left hand making the prince's cheeks flush wildly and Marshall to grin wickedly. Six weeks ago, during the night of Marshall's health discussion, and Gumball's rather 'unromantic' proposal Marshall had taken the ring off of Gumball's middle finger and slid it onto his ring finger. "Does that mean what I think it means!?"
"Come on, Bubs~ Answer the pretty lady~" Marshall spoke playfully, nudging Gumball's shoulder with his knuckles sweetly making the prince blush harder and scowl with meaning this time. He fidgeted, playing with the the ring lightly, twisting it back and forth as he blushed.
"Well, because these two are embarrassingly annoying, I'm just going to fill in that along with your coronation there's going to be a wedding?" Flame King asked then looking at Gumball with a slight smile. Though the two didn't get along in the past, since the birth of the twins, they at the very least seemed to be close to becoming friends. "Congratulations, Gumball."
"Yeah! Congrats, you two wild kids!" Fionna replied wagging a finger while grinning, like she was the elder superior but she then smiled happily. "So, now Peps has to help with planning TWO major events huh? Will the wedding be before or after the coronation?"
"Um, well I was, er, thinking of having them both on the same day." Gumball replied playing with his fingers staring down, his face burning hot. He expected the other three, incredulous looks of surprise from the others and he felt another blush melt into his cheeks. "It's just, they are two big events and why not have them on the same day?"
"Hmmm..." Marshall made a soft thinking noise then leaned over wrapping his arm around Gumball's shoulders smiling as he leaned slightly. "I think it's good! I mean, it'll be what? Three maybe four days after the birthing of the little monster only to be presented as the new heir to the throne."
"The wedding can flow into the coronation, with the vows being done the coronation can then take place right after and when that's done we can have the wedding reception!" Fionna had a thoughtful expression on her face, looking up at the ceiling which was her signature thoughtful move but it made them smile. Then she beamed. "It'd be perfect!"
Gumball then smiled with a chuckle. "Good, then would it be too much to ask you to be in charge of this whole thing?" He asked with a tilt to his head when Kaitlynn managed to drag herself to a stand then squealed happily, her gold irises glowing bright with her happy determination.
Her mother, however, gasped like she'd been offered a million dollars then pointed at herself. "M-Me? You want me to do it? To be in charge of it?" Fionna asked in shock, her blue eyes just as bright as her daughter's but in a completely different way. "Are you sure about that, PG?"
"I'm sure of it!" Gumball dragged himself off the couch with Marshall's help and he smiled at the blonde who stood in front of him. He reached out taking her hands and smiled wide at her. "I want you to plan it, Fionna. No one knows me better than you and no one knows Marshall better than you in certain aspects. You're the perfect person to plan this whole thing!"
Fionna looked at him with wide eyes, marveling faintly at how his eyes had turned to a bright violet, beautiful even, with his good mood. And those very eyes stared at her when she smiled in response. "I'll do it! Does that make me your made of honor then?" Fionna asked smiling wider when Gumball blushed and then smirked at her in response.
He opened his mouth to respond when someone spoke above him. "Mama!" Kaitlynn chirped looking up at her mother making four pairs of eyes drop to her where she smiled in an angelically cherub way. "Mama!"
Asher, staring at her in awe, whined uncertainly like he was being out shined by his big sister. He reached for his father whining and Kaitlynn looked at her younger twin with wide eyes."Dada!" He whined uncertainly stretching his chubby hands up towards his father and bouncing impatiently.
Flame King got up and picked the red haired baby up, nuzzling the baby softly when he calmed his whining and clung to his father. He patted his cheeks then reached up gripping his father's 'hair' and squeezed the flames tightly in his chubby hands. "Dada!" He remarked with blue eyes that reflected the flames of his father's hair and he smiled laughing delightfully.
"Dada!" Kaitlynn echoed him when her mother picked her up, her gold eyes happy. She leaned back looking at her mother and patted her cheeks happily. "Mama!" She squealed the word when a droplet hit her cheek and she jerked physically.
"Fionna?" Gumball's worried voice brought attention to the sixteen year old girl. She had tears welling in her eyes, making them sparkle brightly with her tears, that slid down her cheeks and the end of her nose. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" She got out in a lightly breathless way, hugging Kaitlynn to her chest tightly and rubbed her hair against her daughter's silky cap of golden red hair."I'm so perfectly fine it's not even on the scales!"
Flame King smiled then, softly, at his wife. He stood up then, Asher on his hip who kept his back straight now, and reached out stroking Kaitlynn's silky red cheek. "Hi there, baby." He cooed softly at her when she grabbed his finger squealing delightfully again.
"Dada!" She giggled the word then smiled brightly wiggling her legs in pure joy. She then looked at the pink prince watching and squirmed pointing at him happily. "Bubba! Bubba!"
Gumball blushed when Asher took up the chant of his stupid nickname but he smiled when Fionna laughed watery. His own daughter kicked from inside, roughly and punched rapidly against the walls of his pseudo womb like she didn't want to be forgotten or left out. Marshall laughed as the twins kept chanting 'Bubba!' then back to Mama and Dada. It was adorable and the moment was happy, warm, and Gumball leaned into Marshall when the male slid his arm around his shoulders.
"Is it bad for me to be super happy that this entire week is over?" Gumball asked sliding into bed Friday night sighing out the words then looking at his boyfriend- er, fiancee now. He yawned then when Marshall climbed under the blankets with him smiling widely at his pink haired fiancee happily. Ever since the twins first words on Friday Fionna had been ecstatic and he'd been tired with the plans for the wedding and the coronation coming up.
"I don't think it's bad, baby." Marshall replied smiling at the pink haired male happily then nuzzled his hair when they moved together in the middle of the bed. "I feel pretty tired from it all as well! I'm just glad your insomnia isn't acting up like the bitch it is~"
"If it isn't the insomnia it's this little monster kicking away at me." Gumball replied when the vmapire laughed feeling the tiny kicks against his own stomach and the prince sighed. "I don't care if she wasn't me awake, I'm going to sleep!"
Marshall laughed again then kissed top of Gumball's head happily. "I can't wait til she comes out~ I'm actually looking forward to the fights you'll be having with our teenage daughter!" He sang like he was the happiest person on the planet and laughed for a third time when Gumball whacked his back slightly.
"Shut up." Gumball mumbled shutting his eyes to sleep, yawning loudly nuzzling into Marshall's warm body. Maybe, in that action, he hadn't noticed it until he gasped loudly wincing in pain when he felt Marshall pull away and sit up.
"Bubs? What's wrong, baby?" Marshall asked when Gumball whined lightly at the tensing pain in his groin and the vampire stroked his hair softly. "Baby? Are you okay?" Gumball whined again curling up just a bit when the tensing squeeze in his groin stopped and he sighed out. "Gumball?"
"I'm fine, I think that was my very first Braxton Hicks contraction." Gumball sounded like this was something to marvel at, his eyes wide, but Marshall grimaced. The pink prince smirked widely then at the vampire, feeling rather humorous. "What a way to start off our twenty ninth week, huh?"
"I can't wait until the little monster is out of you, then I can make love to you again." Marshall huffed out when he pulled Gumball to him, making the prince laugh, sliding his hands under his shirt spreading his fingers out on the warm pink flesh. He pouted lightly when he felt the prince's fingers twisting into his hair then untwisting in a pattern that was growing increasingly familiar.
"No one's stopping you from making love to me, only you are~" Gumball replied playfully then lightly tugged on the silky locks of black hair. "Besides, how did we go from my Braxton Hicks contractions to lovemaking?"
"Since I wanted too?" Marshall replied in the same questioningly playfully tone as he squeezed the prince. "Besides, I don't want ot turn your pseudo womb into an X Rated bouncy house! That kid in there is fully developed or close to it now, right? I feel uncomfortable -shocking I know- just doing it while you're pregnant."
"Wow, Marshall Lee the Vampire King who coerced Prince B. Gumball of the Candy Kingdom to have wild kinky sex on the beach is uncomfortable with making love with this pregnant fiancee? Scandalous!" Gumball exclaimed laughing when Marshall growled lowly into his neck and the prince huffed him tighter.
"I swear to Glob, Gumball if oyu don't give that wise cracking mouth of yours a rest!" The vampire playfully threatened nipping the prince's throat with a soft growl. The pink prince laughed happily clinging to him and the baby kicked happily. "There's room for only one wise cracking mouth in this relationship~"
"Hmmm why don't you just shut me up?" Gumball asked playfully when he was flipped onto his back and Marshall hovering above the pink prince smirking as he carefully, barely, put any pressure on the bump but leaned down pressing their lips together. The pink haired male was rather happy with this, missing the full weight of an others body on his but when he twisted his fingers in Marshall's hair and his daughter kicked in response he was filled with a warm glowing happiness.
The vampire pulled away after a moment and kissed the tip of the pink prince's nose. "Be prepared for when the little monster comes out~ I'm going to make love to you in such a way that you won't even remember how our lovemaking once was~"
"Is that a promise or a threat?" The pink prince asked looking up at the black haired male, his scarlet irises glowing rather happily. "Because if that's a threat I'll need to get my wits about me for the next two months, now won't I?"
"Yes. Yes you will~" Marshall replied when he leaned down for another kiss and watched Gumball flinch only to press a hand to his fiancee's large stomach. "Another one?"
"Yeah." He replied flinching then sighed when it was done in the same instant and rested in the mattress. "Want to continue this another time? I kinda feel like sleeping before the insomnia kicks in or the baby begins kicking too much. I have the feeling she likes punching me more than anything now a days."
That pulled a laugh out of the vampire and he kissed Gumball's forehead happily and softly. "Don't worry, my dear. I have a feeling that soon enough you'll have your baby, even if it isn't in the ninth month, it'll be soon. Then we'll really rock being the best Daddies, okay?"
Gumball smiled then, widely, eager to get the next two months over with and cuddled into Marshall, who turned the lights off. "Yeah, we'll really rock it. I'm sure of it!"
