It had been confirmed, just that Monday morning after spending the weekend with Marshall, when the vampire had dragged Gumball to the doctors only to have it be proven that he was pregnant. Gumball, being in his scientific mindset, didn't believe it but when the doctor said he was around his second month of pregnancy he didn't believe it either but when he couldn't get his clothes-shirts or pants- to fit as comfortably as before, he had to admit that it wasn't just bloating and that his stomach was starting to expand slightly but slowly.
Gumball sighed as he stood up looking in his full length mirror sulking as he looked at his closet once before lifting the dark shirt he'd borrowed from Marshall and the sweat pants he'd also borrowed from Marshall, down he turned to the side looking at his stomach intently. There was definitely just a soft, barely there, curve to his stomach that was noticeable if his clothes were tight or to look at it from the right angle, was the culprit to his non-fitting clothes and he sighed letting his head fall back and he moved his hand through his hair before turning from the mirror frowning softly before moving his hand down pulling his shirt down and his sweat pants up and paused, hesitating slightly, before pressing his hand fully against his stomach.
It was just a tiny bit hard but soft still but it was firm enough to alert him that there was another life in his stomach waiting and growing strange and impossible as it was but...a smile curved over Gumball's lips as he pressed his hand to his stomach a little harder. There was something strangely comforting knowing there was another life inside of him, not just any life but something he and Marshall had made, impossible as the child would be he was sure that no science could explain but he was pregnant and he would be giving birth in some way shape or form.
He sighed rubbing the back of his neck and shoulders lightly feeling tense and stressed when he walked to his bed falling into his back more careful of his stomach and rolled to his side closing his eyes half way. He'd been so tired lately, his body had been aching still not as intensely as last week, but his chest was definitely hurting a lot more like it was to tight for his body and it was the most painful thing he'd ever thought it'd be. Maybe...Maybe a little sleep would help. He shut his eyes all the way shoving his face into the pillow softly nuzzling the soft pillow yawning into it, wondering why he was sleeping so much, but he was drifting off slowly and lazily before he could think of a real reason why.
"Yo, Bubba! You here? Or in the lab?" Marshall asked casually as he stepped through the prince's window, looking at the empty bed then heard the shower running and a wicked grin spread across his lips as he floated over to the prince's bathroom throwing the door open and Gumball let out an unmanly scream of surprise only to move the shower curtain aside then glare at Marshall.
"What the flip! You could knock you know!" Gumball snapped then narrowed his eyes as a blush burned across his cheeks. "What the heck do you think you're doing, Marshall Lee?" Marshall smirked widely as he threw his tank top, which he'd been wearing under his hoodie, to the side with said hoodie and placed his feet on the floor as he unzipped his jeans letting them sag around his hips raising a black brow.
"What do you think I'm doing, Bubba?" Marshall shot the question right at the prince who's eyes widened and he shook his head slowly looking lightly aroused but horrified for some strange reason.
"No! You are not taking a shower with me!" Gumball gasped out as his face burned a dark red as Marshall continued to grin and Gumball felt like holding the curtain shut before the vampire could come over.
"Why don't you want me too? We've taken so many showers together! Now won't be any different!" Marshall used his pleading voice as he pushed his jeans and boxers down his legs stepping out of them and Gumball's blush, if possible, darkened even further making him look like a tomato making Marshall grin wider.
"You-You can't! I won't let you! I'll get-get out the minute you get in here!" Gumball stuttered out as he stare at Marshall with wide, frantic eyes but Marshall just grinned pleasantly at Gumball as he walked over and the pink haired male narrowed his eyes angrily. "I mean it Marshall Lee!"
"Come on Bubba! There's nothing wrong with it! Why is now any different?" Marshall asked as he grabbed the curtain but Gumball held it in place tight shutting his eyes grinding his teeth hard as Marshall looked at him. "I'm coming in there in five...four...three...two...on-"
"I don't want you too! I don't..I don't want you to see me like this until-until everything is over with." Gumball blurted out as he stared at Marshall who looked at him with surprise and Marshall blinked rapidly.
"Bubba, it's fine. It's natural, it's nothing I haven't seen before! It'll be fine! Come now, let me in with you I promise I won't look at you until you say I can." Marshall's voice was softer now as Gumball pursed his lips softly as he looked down then blew out a breath looking at Marshall from under his lashes.
"Promise you won't look until I say?" Gumball softly said as he seemed to clench the shower curtain tighter and he looked down at the floor quickly as he bit his lower lip lightly and Marshall smiled.
"Of course! I won't look unless you tell me too, only if you do and I won't sneak any looks, I'll keep my back to you until you need my assistance with washing you anywhere." Marshall couldn't help but grin wickedly at the last part of the sentence and even Gumball's lips twitched and he blew out a breath.
"Okay, get in on that side and keep your back to me." Gumball ordered a bit shakily as he blushed deep and Marshall nodded climbing into the shower with his back to Gumball feeling a deep urge to spin around and see what's going on with the pink haired male when he heard another breath then arms wrapping around his waist as he began getting wet from the water and he felt Gumball's flushed cheek press against his back. He caressed the back of Gumball's hand moving his fingers up the space of arm that was revealed to him and he noted the way Gumball's flesh seemed to quiver and ripple into goosebumps as he barely touched the skin yet it seemed enough to cause a reaction.
"Can I turn around yet?" Marshall asked as he stroked his fingers up and down Gumball's arm softly and comfortingly, but something seemed to spark and burn in the small space making Gumball blush burn out of control as he shivered gently against Marshall's back as his lashes lowered a bit and he swallowed hard and convulsively making Marshall chuckle softly.
"Not..Not yet." Gumball finally got out as he blushed with the fingers stroking his arm he wanted, ached, for Marshall to turn around and touch his flesh the same way and he blushed burned hotly though he knew Fionna and even Flame Prince was to be there any moment, he felt the arousal burning in him hotly and his stomach tightened and coiled with the gush of blood to his member and his teeth pulled his lower lip between them for him to gnaw on softly before letting out a little breath as he stepped back. He didn't know why he was being so shy, so femininely strange, but he didn't want Marshall to see him naked strange as it was. "Fine, turn around." Marshall seemed to take his sweet time turning around as his red eyes lit up and he leaned forward as his arms came up to hang off Gumball's shoulders softly.
"You look fine Bubba, if that's why you wouldn't want me to see you." Marshall said smiling lightly and rather sweet like which didn't exactly suit him but it was..nice to see it.
"I don't look fine. I'm all bloated and my chest hurts, I've been so hungry and puking, I feel so crazily flooded with emotions and I don't want you to see me naked for a while, I don't like that I won't look the same." Gumball said sulking softly feeling so shallow that he expected Marshall to scoff and turn away from him but the vampire leaned forward making him flinch a bit and opened his eyes when their foreheads connected with a soft thunking noise.
"It's fine, Bubba. It's natural, it's okay, so I don't mind seeing you like this. I want to watch you change, it's interesting but it's sort of...satisfying if I have to use a word, to know what's happening to you. In a good way, that you're carrying mine-our- child, there's just something satisfying about it." Marshall said softly as his arms moved down to the prince's waist stroking his fingers across the soft little bulge of Gumball's stomach only to move down stroking his hip gently. "If anything, it's arousing as can be when I think of it that. I can't seem to help myself."
"Marshall, please don't.." Gumball tried to protest but he sounded so utterly breathless, so needy and airy, that he knew that even if he screamed it it wouldn't break the tension and as their lips connected in the familiar burning and sparking kiss he wrapped his arms around Marshall's shoulders as his skin heated slowly with the fire building and zooming through his veins that he couldn't stop his motions and didn't want to stop even now.
The kiss broke as they both sucked in little breaths, their lips just inches from one another, as Marshall picked up Gumball pressing him to the wall tightly and he leaned into Gumball's chest sucking the soft, warm flesh draining it of color per usual, the spot white and stark but Gumball knew the color would come back in some hours when, though fire still crackled through his veins and body, his eyes hooded over with a dark look of arousal and lust that could match Marshall's, the vampire pulled back his eyes bright with another emotion.
It wasn't the want, need, lust or desire that had been sparking and lighting his eyes just a minute ago, no it was surprise. He clenched his jaw tightly wanting to scream at Marshall to continue and just screw him already but Marshall lifted his hand up, which had been under his ass, to his nipple just barely touching the tip of it barely, but it was like a little jolt went through Gumball as an ache burned through his chest.
"What. Are. You. Doing?" Gumball choked out from between his clenched teeth as his eyes turned to angry slits while looking at Marshall who just stared at his chest blinking lightly, his lashes starred and sticking together once or twice when he blinked due to the water.
"Gumball I hate to break the moment, I really do, but...um, are you growing..breasts?"
