I ponder a few things in my current state of mind. "Could this all be real?" I ask out loud to myself as I slide my hands behind my neck and up under my long straight blond hair moving it out of the way of my black velvet choker. I adjust the Tiffany heart attached to the choker, that in the middle has a question mark engraved on the front side of it and on the back is his name "Edward Christopher Nygma" and I always wore it with pride.
I lean over to pull on my black over the knee boots "Maybe this is all a dream" as I adjusted my dress so it looked more natural covering my stomach now more worried about my appearances than ever. "Maybe I'll wake up and we'll still be thirteen and today will be Halloween" I re-think. I wasn't afraid of my life; I embraced it. I wasn't worried about my appearance; I didn't want anyone knowing…YET! I wasn't ashamed of he and I; No one knew about the love he and I share but us; for safety reasons that's how we wanted it to stay.
I now left the room, pushed open the door in-front of me and walked into Edward's lab. "How do I look?" I said proudly as he turned to look at me as I slowly twirled around to show him my outfit. "My Harleen, you look more radiant then ever" He said getting out of the chair in which he sat and now twirling me into his arms and with his arm under my back he tips me backwards and kisses me. He looks at me more carefully, and gently pulls me to my feet again. I look at him wondering if he notices and if so how am I going to explain myself to him. "Harley my sweet; your clothes are covering more skin, I know something's wrong…so tell me" He said now with great concern in his voice.
"Eddie sweetie, I got a riddle for you; solve it and you'll receive your answer" I answer with great incentive. He laughed at my words "A Riddle for The Riddler, okay do go on" he prompted as I carefully thought up a riddle. "I breathe but by helpful force, I eat but not alone, I grow but still am small, I have fits of joy, I'm neither dark nor light and right now I'm a Nygma... What am I?" I ask in great genius pride. He takes my hand in his and gently pushes me back, takes a hard full length look at me and his green eyes meet my bright blue eyes. "A baby" He paused at the answer and pulled me into his arms gently "Harleen, I'm a dad?!" he asked now as there was a hint of nervousness in his voice. "Yes, Edward Christopher Nygma; I, your wife Harleen Frances Nygma am pregnant with your child" I proudly and cheerfully answer. He looks at me and laughs in joy as he picks me up and spins me around and places me down on my feet again and holds me close. "Harley darling, I love you my beautiful wife. You made me the happiest man alive" he cheerfully and proudly said to me as he kissed my red lips.
I kissed him back now blushing at his compliment and hugging him tight. "As you made me the proudest, happiest, and luckiest woman alive" I reply back to him as I lay my head against Eddie's chest and start listening to his heartbeat, for the sound of it alone always calmed my nerves. "I guess this makes the next six months a bit of a dark mystery for us" He asked now attempting a joke from a play on words from my alias, I now nod and smile with a light laugh "A dark mystery it remains until then" I diligently reply as I look up at the greatest husband that being born and residing in Gotham could have ever given me. "I love you my beloved Harleen" Edward says to me now placing a hand against the back of my head and the other arm around my back, I look up at him my eyes meeting his once again "I love you too Edward" I say with a joyfully proud smile on my face, as he breaks away from the hug takes my hand in his and we head our room for the night.
