His name is John Constantine and he… is not what you expect from typical heroes hell he wasn't really even a hero. Constantine had just finished his cigarette and was starting on his second bottle of alcohol. He was taking in the sight of the two lovely ladies that shared the night with him life was in his opinion a load of shit. Yes, true it had upsides but it that was partly only temporary.

His surreal peaceful quiet was ruined when his phone rang "Constantine. It's Jim Gordon I have a problem on my hands I…" Jim paused for a second "I may have bitten someone and turned them."

Constantine took a deep breath close his eyes only for them to flare open "Bloody hell! I swear you cause me more trouble than I care to say. Alright listen we can fix this Jim I'll fly up to Gotham as soon as I can. Just tell me you didn't bite anyone too dangerous."

"Well she's…" Jim paused for a second "She's not a total psychopath. There's more though John it gets worse."

"I'm sorry care to elaborate? How could it get worse?"

"I didn't come to you right away. I may have tried ignoring the problem hoping it would go away. I thought it was working but one morning I woke up next to her in the woods and that's when I realized our other halves have been-"

"Shagging like a couple of rabbits?"

"Yep and I've been following her just to make sure she's not misusing this condition she's going through the usual process researching werewolves but she also kind of sort of bought a pregnancy test."

"Bloody hell Jim!" Constantine took a deep breath "It's alright not the end of the world you just have a pack now. A beta and bloody pup on the way."

"We don't even know if she's pregnant with a pup. It could be a human."

"Jim I admire your optimism but really? I think you are reaching and even so mate, imagine it is human. A human with two wolves for parents."

"Oh crap."

"Yeah." "Alright I'll get on a flight as soon as I can by the way whose the lucky mother to be?"

"Well… that's the thing."

Gotham Seven Years Later…

Wayne Manor…

Bruce straightened his tie and took a deep breath "I'm afraid Alfred. This is the first time I've really been to a dinner like this since well Theo Galavan. I can't help but feel a little nervous."

"That is understandable Sir."

"With Selina being there. This is the most volatile situation I have ever been in. that's counting the few years I've been away training and my first few adventures as a vigilante."

"No doubt Sir. Just remember you are a Wayne and Wayne's always come out on top but remember you do not negotiate with terrorists. In this case the terrorists are very well armed."

"Terrorist might be a strong world."

"Nonsense." Alfred said getting up close to straighten Bruce's tie "I remember my first time at a dinner like this with a friend's wife who was also friends with an ex of mine she was a real snake. I nearly pissed myself given the number of hurdles that came my way I'm surprised I didn't. You are right to be nervous Bruce this is the most difficult challenge any man can face. Now what do you know about this woman that Gordon has married other than her being someone Selina knows?"

"Not much just when I left they ran into each other and got stuck together. I don't know the full details but according to Selina they were surprised by how much they had in common and slowly fell in love or something." Bruce answered he was very surprised by how much had changed in the years he'd been gone. Jim was married with a kid and was even about to become commissioner he just wished he hadn't been so secretive with him yes Bruce was just as bad but they'd known each other for years you'd think Jim would at least tell him something about her instead Jim was very secretive about where he lived so much so Bruce had along with Alfred just found out after being invited by Selina "Why do you think Selina can live with them? She doesn't seem like someone Jim would let live with him."

Alfred just sighed not really having an answer "Who can say really but from what I gather she somehow makes Gordon happy. We never have met the woman who gave Jim back his smile so maybe this will turn out to be a good dinner. I understand they have a daughter together now and Selina is living under the same roof under the condition that she tell no one where he and his wife live and not cause trouble. In fact, I think this woman is the reason Miss Kyle has attempted to turn her life around that's why you to are talking again right Master Bruce. Has Gordon said anything yet to about her I know I've asked but surely you must know something?"

"He seems nervous about us meeting her, he says he's worried we might not like her. Well no he said he knows we won't like her but he wants all people in his life to at least try and get along." Bruce added not sure why Gordon was nervous.

"Bruce can you blame him? She has from what I suspect a rather shady past no doubt he fears people won't accept someone like that as a cop's wife. I can't blame the man for keeping his family and home secret after what I heard happened with Jervis Tetch."

"Well Alfred whoever she is I doubt she's that bad if Gordon has married her."

Mean While At the GCPD…

Jim Gordon was sitting at his desk while a random criminal was ranting on and on about his civil rights. Jim's mind was currently preoccupied with the potential mess his evening had the potential of being. So many things could go wrong and he didn't care to even list the reasons why he was worried.

A lot had changed, over the years since Bruce left if you believed the stories Tabitha had died in a fire and supposedly Barbara barely made it out. No one really knew for sure though since the body uncovered couldn't be identified. That was how badly burned the remains were and with Barbara missing no one could really say.

However, the consensus was that Tabitha was dead. Penguin was elated by the news so much that he didn't bother continuing to hold a grudge against Barbara. So, despite the fact she was never seen again Penguin declared Barbara Kean to be off limits and given a full "pardon" as he put it. He called it his little act of "mercy" to demonstrate how merciful he could be.

Jim decided to stay under the radar after the last great debacle he started making less waves keeping his name out of the papers. He even became the commissioner right under Oswald's nose and severely weakened his grip on the city by usurping the man Oswald put in charge.

"Almost done." Jim said to himself as he finished the paper work. He had been very nervous lately this was the first time he'd be introducing his family to his friends and having a dinner at his home with company over he could only hope everyone would be able to get along "I really hope Bruce and Alfred are able to be civil at least. Oh god, what if she can't be civil." He sighed "So many things can go wrong." Jim muttered as he leaned back in his chair he did a lot to protect his family even buying a home out of the city it was a long commute but it was worth it. For one nobody knew where he lived, second it was the best place for his wife to live no neighbors to recognize her and third it was far enough out of town and located in a dangerous area where unless you already knew where it was you'd get lost easily and possibly die.

Jim heard a knock on his door he looked up to see Harvey "So how is it being the commissioner?" Harvey smirked at Jim.

"Lot more paper work than I could care for." Jim said, "So Harvey how are you feeling with me as the new boss?"

"Got to be honest it's nice having someone Penguin can't control I'm a little surprised he's not pissed at you for crippling his grip on the city."

"Well he's not as powerful as he'd like people to think his organization was on life support even before I took the commissioner position right from under his guy. He's barely holding it together as is. Plus with all the enemies he's made Penguin is the king of Gotham in name only. He can't leave his club for fear of being taken out."

"True enough. So are you ever going to tell me who your wife is the guys are spreading all sorts of rumors. Some think you have no family others are saying your gay."

Jim chuckled "Harvey my wife and daughter are my business. You know I don't like to talk about them besides if I told you who I married you'd freak. She surprised me though I will tell you that much back when she first came to Gotham if someone told me I'd marry her I'd have laughed. She was actually, the one who insisted on me getting the job of commissioner said it'd be less dangerous for me if I was behind a desk more. She's really something you will not believe how well she is at organization. My only hang up and you will not believe this she is not the best communicator."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I love my wife but it's like she expects me to be a mind reader at times. She can get mad and half the time I'll never know what it's about or that she's even made she is not exactly good at expressing anger in a healthy way."

"Jim she's a woman they all expect men to be mind-readers."

"True. Anyway, I'm done with my paperwork if I leave now I'll be able to get home in time before Alfred and Bruce arrive it's probably for the best I'm there when they show up no telling how bad things might get. Especially with Selina crashing in the living room."

"So, Selina is living you?"

"There are conditions I would have said no entirely but my wife and Selina have history and Selina needed a place to stay so in exchange for cleaning up her act while under my roof any way Selina gets to stay. My wife and her, are like sisters so when Selina found- I mean ran into her my wife albeit begrudgingly took her in."

"Why do you ask?"

"Well she and you don't exactly run in the same circles."

"How did you and your wife meet exactly? Who is she someone I know?"

"Well you've met her briefly she kind of used to be in a line of work that ran closely with what we do so we both ran into her from time to time. You probably wouldn't recognize her if you saw her." Jim lied he knew Harvey would recognize her instantly his next line wasn't so much of a lie "We have had a lot of encounters but we didn't really meet or get to know each I should say until a run in out in the woods. She was-" Jim struggled to think of a convenient lie or half-truth he could use "-out camping when I got lost on a deer hunt."

"A deer, hunt? Since when do you hunt?" Harvey asked skeptical.

"Since I…" Jim stopped "you know I life outside of the job right? Not all of my time revolves around work."

"Uh huh." Harvey nodded he didn't really buy it but he was going along with it still hoping to get more out of Jim "So what did she used to do that would cause her to run into us?"

"Well she was sort of a body guard I guess you could call her that. She did a lot of work for her family to." Yeah that's not down playing it all. Jim thought to himself "She also co ran a club at one point. Now she's just focusing on being a mom. We named our daughter after a mutual acquaintance." Too much information Jim! Stop talking Jim! Stop talking! Jim screamed inside his head "Okay look I really need to get going my wife really doesn't like it when I'm late for dinner."

"Ah, real slave driver huh? Bet she likes cracking that whip."

"You have no idea. To be honest most of the time she's cold and distant but when she's around our daughter she completely melts and becomes almost a different person. It's weird how quickly she flips a switch."

"Well listen if she's managed to put up with you she can't be that bad."

"She really surprised me with how great she is. I'm not going to lie though we didn't get off to the best start. Our daughter doesn't know this but we had something of a one-night stand. She really loves our daughter though and they both can't stand my mustache. Anyway, after going to an old friend for advice I was able to convince her to let me help her through a difficult time which was arguably my fault." Jim looked at his watch "I really got to go. I just hope that Selina and my daughter are behaving lord knows my wife is a handful herself."

"Alright have fun Jim."

Jim headed out the door as he said "God willing nothing bad will happen."
