Chapter 34

Third Person

As time passed Gumball's baby bump grew more. He was roughly three months along now. But the more time that passed the more the two realized. The baby wasn't healthy for Gumball. After all, it would be part vampire.

Marshall knew this wouldn't end well if action wasn't taken. Of course, he knew what would have to be done. He would have to bite Gumball and transfer his own blood. But if he turned the one he loved then he would have to live the same way Marshall did; feeding off the color red and using an umbrella in the sunlight.

The vampire wouldn't just bite Gumball and transfer his blood. He would have to talk to him about it first. Marshall wasn't even sure if the one he loved would even allow it. The Candy Prince never seemed to want to be bitten. He never showed any desire to be a vampire. That was what worried Marshall.

If Gumball didn't want to be bitten then he would die. Once the baby was born he would be too weak to keep living; die within minutes. Marshall wouldn't be able to live with himself if that happened.

The vampire also wouldn't be able to raise a child on his own. He could barely raise himself and most of the time he didn't think he did a very good job. He needed Gumball. Marshall loved him more than anything. He just wanted to spend the rest of eternity with him.

"Gumball, I think we need to talk..." Marshall began, walking hand in hand with his partner.

"About what, Marshall?" Gumball asked, leading the other around one of the corners of the garden maze.

It had been quite a while since he walked through the maze and he enjoyed the challenge it gave him.

"It's about the future... And our baby..." the vampire continued, figuring out how to tell Gumball as the conversation continued.

The Candy Prince wasn't exactly sure where the conversation was going but nodded slowly.

"Well... Um... The thing is... Because our baby has vampire blood... You won't survive after the birth..." he explained, pausing in a few places while trying to figure out how to word it.

Gumball was a bit shocked to hear that was his fate. He didn't want to die, especially not after their baby would be born. He couldn't leave Marshall alone like that. He wanted to live and to be a part of their child's life; to live on with both the one he loved and their child.

"But... If I bite you and give you some of my blood then you'll be able to live... I just wanted to talk to you about it first before it was too late... I'll only do it if you want me to..." Marshall continued, giving the other some piece of mind.

"Of course... I don't want to die and leave you alone like that... I'd rather spend eternity with you... I love you," Gumball replied, stopping to hug the vampire.

"I love you too."
