Three years later

Karmen has been an energetic three year old. Always getting into things she wasn't supposed to, pestering the maids and butlers while still managing to get them to smile and gush over the raven haired girl. One look from those electric green eyes and she had nearly everyone wrapped around her finger. She was also beginning the attachment stage. Never did she want to leave Carmine's side. Constantly clung to his leg when she was on the ground and acted shy when partners of the Don would come to discuss business with her father. There was all but one person she wasn't shy to when they came to the Manor. A woman, tall and skinny, looked intimidating, but was really sweeter than chocolate when she wanted to be.

That woman's name was Maria "Fish" Mooney.

Whenever the woman would come around she would smile at Karmen and talk to her ever so sweetly about how big she was getting, calling her nicknames like Princess, Sweetheart. She acted like a mother figure, which wasn't new to the woman.

This one particular day when Fish came, things were different. Karmen could tell as she clung to her father's suit jacket while entwined in his arms. Carmine had answered the door, expecting his guest. When the hinges creaked open there stood Fish Mooney herself. But Karmen could tell something was off, even if she was three, the girl had a niche for sensing the atmosphere of a room. She kept herself clung to her father instead of smiling and getting giggly and ecstatic seeing the woman. Fish had greeted Carmine and then looked at Karmen with a fake smile the child saw straight through. She buried her face in Carmine's chest avoiding the woman's gaze on the child.

"Daddy," her whimper was muffled from her face being hidden away.

"It's ok, sweetheart, it's just me, Miss Mooney," Fish reached to touch the girls arm, never had she ever referred to herself as Miss Mooney to the child. Karmen flinched and pulled her arm away from the woman. Fish frowned and looked directly at Carmine.

"We need to discuss things, now. I can't be wasting time, get rid of the kid and we'll talk," Carmine nodded.

He let Fish into the door and closed it. He entered the den where an abundance of his child's toys were and motioned for one of his body guards he had assigned to come over to him, that man's name was Butch Gilzean.

"Watch her," was all he said before handing the child off to Butch. Karmen whined and reached back for her father as Butch took the girl into his arms.

"Daddy," she spoke again as Carmine watched the three year olds eyes fill with tears. Carmine stood for a second and looked at the girl and then approached her .

"I'll be right back sweetheart, Butch is gonna play with you while me and Fish talk," he put his hand behind her small head and kissed her forehead before turning and leaving the room, closing the den door quietly. The child sighed and turned back to Butch who still had a hold of her. She had known the man since she could start remembering, he had been around when Louisa was taken, he watched the girl grow up the past three years.

Karmen tilted her head and smiled at the man, "Play?" she asked in a cheery tone. Butch put her down and held up a stuffed dog he knew was her favorite. She squealed with delight as she hugged it and began to play carelessly.

"So easily entertained," Butch smirked at the small child as he watched her keep herself busy. He looked at the den door and wondered about what was being discussed behind the closed door. He knew that Carmine considered the woman to be like a daughter to him, hell, he was old enough that Carmine could be her father. He watched the door intently as he waited to see if he could possibly get a hint of what was being talked about.

In the Kitchen

"I don't know how much longer I can go without Maroni supplying the club with booze, he has refused ever since the Louisa incident," Fish spoke in a low and dangerous tone.

"My dear, we have gladly been stalking the club the last three years, why is this a problem now?" Carmine sighed at the issue that had been addressed minorly on multiple occasions.

"Don't mean to insult you, Carmine, but your booze are nothing. Cheap knock offs of what Maroni used to supply me with, and business has gone downhill," Fish threw her hands into the air frustrated, "he's only doing it because he knows I'm affiliated with your family, because of Karmen."

Carmine hesitated before he spoke, he gave a sigh of annoyance, "Somehow this conversation always seems to revolve around the child," he crossed his arms and gazed at the woman impatiently, "let's look at it this way, if Maroni were to have a child, I'd be overjoyed, believe me I would, I wouldn't show up at his home three months after and make him choose between his daughter or his wife's life."

"You surely knew he'd be up to something," she argued back.

"Of course, I expected it, but some part of me gave into the temptation to believe he would use his common sense and realize it only worsened the family ties and in no way made them better. You think I wanted to lose my wife, Fish? I loved Louisa more than anything in the entire world, if I had my choice I would have given my life instead," Carmine raised his voice feeling insulted Fish would take him for some sort of fool.

"Then if you wanted your wife so bad, why didn't you sacrifice the kid? You could have another one in nine months tops," Fish spat.

"Because she is the heir to the Family, that little girl will grow up to be the best god damned Don this city has ever seen," Carmine lowered his voice and watched the woman's reaction. Fish merely gave him a poker face and stared into he man's eyes.

He had determination, she'd give him that, but the man had to much of a soft spot to come to the realization that what he just said could or couldn't be true. The possibilities were ruled out in her head. The girl could get killed before she even becomes Don, she could buckle under pressure, so much more. Fish let a smirk grace her face and let out a throaty chuckle.

"I'd bite your tongue before you begin to make promises you can't keep," She stood up from leaning against the counter and strolled over to the kitchen door, opening it slowly before turning to Carmine giving him a nod and then walking for the door.

Carmine sighed as he took his face into his hands. He began to reminess on the times her had with Louisa before Maroni showed up that morning.

He stood in the kitchen for a few more minutes before he shook his head and entered the den where he found Butch cradling a sleeping Karmen in his arms. Butch looked up at the man with a smirk, "She fell asleep about ten minutes ago."

"I see," Carmine took the girl from his arms and slowly and steadily strolled up the large spiral staircase looking down at the bundle in his arms that was still clutching the stuffed dog. She stirred slightly and opened her eyes just barely catching a glimpse of Carmine, "daddy," he murmured before slipping back into sleep.

The old man smiled and made his way to her room and lay her down gently into the crib and covered her with a blanket.

"Goodnight, princeps," he smiled before leaving the room and making his way back down to the den to meet Butch. The man looked at the Don and stood out of respect.

"I want you to go to Fish's Club, merely a recon, observe and report, got it?" Carmine spoke seriously.

"Yes, Don Falcone," he answered with a nod and hurried to the front door so he could go to his car.

Well this is chapter two, I was like well, I updated Beautiful Bizarre and I can't just abandon my other stories, so I will update The King of Fear's Pawn next and hopefully get another chapter for Beautiful Bizarre out. I literally winged this chapter so if it sucks, I'm sorry, I didn't want to skip ahead to seventeen years because the description says follow her as she grows up, so the first few chapters will have no basic story line, but once she gets into like being 17 years old that's when Gotham is going to come into play for the storyline.

And since the Falcones are of Roman descent, I added a but of Latin in, because that's what Roman's speak.

Princeps- Princess

Well, until next chapter!
