Harley Quinn's Revenge
2
Another month had passed and Harley grew even more anxious to meet her bundle of joy. She sat in the rocking chair rubbing her baby bump and singing a lullaby. Ivy had been keeping her distance and making sure to only bother her when it came to meals. She was a ticking time bomb and one little thing could easily make Harley explode. Her raging hormones didn't help.
"Oh Red I'm still having trouble believing this is real. I wish he was here. He woulda made a great daddy."
"I know, you say this every time we speak." She sat some bags on the counter, a little frustrated but brushed it off and pulled a gift box out handing it to Harley. "I hope you don't mind I got you something."
Harley opened the box and found a small pink and green blanket along with a little purple and green onesie. "It's beautiful! Thank you... I know the baby will look great in it." She held the onesie to her belly and smiled. She felt a small flutter and stepped back. "Oh my God!"
Ivy rushed to her. "What's wrong?"
Harley squealed. "It kicked!" She giggled and went back to rocking.
"Don't scare me like that okay?" Ivy went back to unloading the groceries.
...
Time was fading fast and Harley was only 3 months along but her time was double due to the unborn child's powers. She walked into the kitchen. "Hey Red do we got any ice cream?"
"Yes we do in the freezer doll. I even bought the rainbow sprinkles, cherries, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup you like."
"Thanks. You're the best! Joker Junior will thank you."
Ivy watched Harley fill her bowl up with the sugary mess and nearly gagged. She didn't understand how she could eat so much sugar. "Does that not bother your stomach? I mean good god that's a ton of sugar Harley."
"Nah I'm eating for two now so it's okay." She had a whip cream mustache and licked it off and burped loud.
"Excuse you..."
Harley stood up and walked to the couch and flipped on the tv. She reached for the bowl of popcorn she had leftover from earlier and began to eat handfuls of it followed by chugging a full glass of orange juice. Ivy had to look away as the thought of all she had mixed made her feel sick. She hoped she never got pregnant because seeing Harley in the condition was enough to make her say no.
"Everything okay Red?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
Harley felt the baby move. "It's moving. Want to feel?"
She smiled and sat next to her on the couch. Harley grabbed Ivy's hand and placed it on her swollen belly. The baby began to kick. "Wow it sure has a set of legs."
"They are just like their father already." They both smiled.
"What does it feel like from your side? I mean is it weird having something move inside of you?"
"At first yes but now I have gotten used to it and it's the best feeling ever."
"Are you scared?"
"Mister J taught me to never be afraid no matter what, but he never mentioned the part about being afraid of giving birth. I guess cause we didn't think it was even possible."
"I'm here for you Harley. I want to help you with the baby too. I don't want you to run off after you have it. I'll keep you both safe and you will never have to worry. I promise."
"Awe that's sweet Red. But I haven't really made plans for after the baby gets here so I think we are quite comfty for now."
Ivy sighed in relief. "Can I get you anything now?"
"Not right now but can we have pizza for dinner? It sounds delicious."
"Of course we can."
"Thank you for everything."
"You're welcome Harls."
...
Joker sat inside and isolated cell in a secret area of Arkham that no one knew about. It had been added since his last escape nearly a year ago. He rocked back and forth on the bed staring at the floor. Everything felt different. He had lost Harley. He had lost all powers and he could barely remember how to function. Batman had him in a position he could never escape again. He found it a bit frustrating. The walls were white, freshly painted and the smell was making him feel light headed.
"Hello? Doc! Anyone! Can I get some food down here?" He stood up and danced around in the cell trying to get anyone's attention. Hoping whoever was watching the security camera on his room would see him cry for attention. He heard a click and seen Batman standing there with a tray of food. "Oh goody Bats is serving me now." He giggled.
"I think not." He slid his tray to him.
"What? No utensils? How am I supposed to eat this mess and I'm not a rabbit where is the meat?"
"We all know what you can do with them. Therefore you will eat with your hands..." He stood there observing him eat then decided to ask questions. "Now Joker I need you to tell me where I can find this beast that you got involved with."
"Why should I tell you?"
"I'm not here to play games Joker. This is important."
"I don't know where to find it. All I remember is Penguin and then it all went blank?"
"Would Cobblepot know where to find it?"
"How should I know Bats...I've been locked away safely here for what, 6 months now?"
Batman tossed him the plate of Red Velvet cake for his desert and then walked away.
"Oh red velvet my favorite. How did you guess bats?"
"I didn't, it was on the menu." He made sure the locks were secure and headed back upstairs to speak with Gordon.
"Oh well good ol'Arky staff knows me well." He licked his lips.
...
"Any word from him today?"
"Cobblepot. He said he would know where to find the beast."
"And did he happen to mention Miss Quinn?"
"No. I didn't ask about her. I'll discus that another time. Just keep a close watch on him. No one gets in or out of the isolated chamber. It's too dangerous."
Gordon turned to ask another question but he had vanished. "I really hate when he does that..."
