Thanks so much for the reviews! They really mean a lot! Please, enjoy the next chapter!

Kayla felt like she was being stroked all over as she slept. She sighed as the mysterious hand went from her face tracing her neck, moving between her breasts until they finally reached their area of purpose. The hand circled her belly where her baby was kept. It stopped for a second, feeling it until the baby at last kicked. That's when Kayla shot her eyes open, but saw so one with her in the room. Wincing, she got up. Her start was starting to ache and her knees were swelling already. These were some the pains from bearing other than the actual child birth.

Kayla jumped when her phone began to ring. She picked it up, but frowned when it was an unknown number. "Hello," she rasped.

"Don't believe him," growled the person on the other line.

Kayla was wide awake now. "Who is this?"

The voice panted. "Don't listen to a word he says. He'll give you nothing, but trouble," growled the voice again.

"Jack?" she whispered, but the line was cut off. Kayla put the phone down and lay back on the bed. She sobbed softly, knowing that the Joker's leave wasn't working nor did she actually want it.

She missed him.

She missed, seeing the smile on her children's faces when they were with their father. It was obvious that they didn't like Edward. The last he came over to eat, they critiqued him on what chair he could eat. They would say: 'You can't sit there. Daddy used to sit there.' They even went on saying that he couldn't drink that type of beer because their father would drink that same one. Taylor and Iris threw spaghetti and their drinks on him when Edward told them that if their father loved them, he would never have left. Not only did he hurt their feelings, but also Kayla's. She swore that she almost saw red when he spoke that way about the Joker.

Kayla had no other choice but to punish their children for acting that way, but she didn't blame them. She told Edward never to speak that way about their father, but he just shrugged. That was the last time he came to her house again.

Kayla sighed and got up to change. It was Sunday and as usual, she will go to church with the twins. She quickly took a shower and changed. She then woke up the kids and changed them and headed towards the church.

"Listen, guys," started Kayla as they got out of church. "I know that you guys still miss your father and I understand, but you can't act that way towards anyone. You have to learn how to use your words," she said, putting them in her car, placing a seat belt on them. Bruce had bought her a car after she learned to drive. It wasn't much, just a mini van, but she was grateful nonetheless.

"But that man was a dick head," growled Taylor.

Kayla shot him a glare. "Where did you learn that word?" Taylor stayed quiet. "Taylor Naiper, I order you to answer me."

"I heard dad say it once," he said, quietly.

Kayla sighed. "Don't say it again."

"But if dad said it, why can't I?" protested Taylor, now looking at her.

"Because it's a bad word and your father doesn't know any better. He shouldn't have said that in front of you. I don't ever want to hear that word or any other bad word coming from your mouth or your mouth either, Iris," said Kayla.

Iris gaped at her. "I haven't said anything wrong, Momma!"

Kayla smiled. "And that small word that you said to Mr. Nigma was nothing?" Iris huffed and crossed her arm. "Let's forget this incident and why don't we all go and get some ice cream," she said, making the children cheer.

Kayla gasped as she turned around, seeing Edward behind her. She quickly handed her children the ice cream and told them to go sit down. They glared at him first, but then listened to their mother. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Kay…" He started, but she stopped him.

"Can you please not call me that? Someone special to me used to call me that and it's still a sensitive subject to me," she said, thinking about Harvey.

Edward nodded. "I'm sorry, Kayla. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what I said about the father of your children. It was wrong of me and it's obvious that you still love him, but if you give me the chance, I can make you and your children happy." He leaned down to kiss her, but she pulled away

"Edward, I can't," she said, looking away. "I don't share the same feelings as you do. It wouldn't be fair for me to be with you when I think about another man."

"Come with me and we'll talk," he said, grabbing her by the arm, but she snatched it back.

"I said no!" she said a bit louder now.

Edward sighed. "Alright, Kayla, you don't want to do it the easy way." Kayla jumped as he pulled a gun out, pressing it against her belly. "Why don't we do it the hard way?"

"Don't shot please," she begged. Kayla watched in horror as the customers in the ice cream shop weren't customers at all and started pointing their guns at the employees and her children. "Don't," she cried as they grabbed Iris and Taylor, pushing them out of the front door.

Kayla tried to go after them, but Edward held her back. "If you move, not only will I kill your precious twins," he hissed, "but I'll also kill that bastard son of yours inside you."

Kayla whimpered in pain as her head as snapped back. "You know that he doesn't even let me call him Jack," whispered someone harshly in her ear. She recognized the voice. "He still thinks of you," hissed Harley. "You know what he moaned last night when he was fucking me? Kitty! Kitty little bitty," she sneered. "I hate you and only dead will I ever stop to see you and your disgusting brats dead!"

"Jack will kill you when he finds out that you killed his children," whimpered Kayla back, but all she got was a thump to the head and that's all she remembered.

Kayla moved in pain as she started to focus her eyes. She looked around and noticed that she was lying on a bed in a dusty room. Her hand brushed against her belly and she immediately looked down to make sure it was fine. It looked normal enough. She looked to the side of her and realized that Iris and Taylor weren't with her. A panic attack rose in her. She got up and went towards the door, trying to open it, but it wouldn't budge.

"Help!" she yelled as she pounded on the door, but no one responded back. She cried softly wondering where her kids were. Kayla tried to look around for a weapon to smash the door open, but found none. All there was in the room was the small bed. There were no windows only a small air way. At least she wouldn't suffocate in here. She jumped when the door opened. Kayla quickly made it to the bed, shaking in fear.

"Oh, looks like Snow White woke up," teased Edward as he came in.

"Why are you doing this, Edward?" she whispered, crying.

Kayla almost jumped when Edward snarled at her. "Don't call me that. I'm the Riddler now."

"The Riddler?" repeated Kayla. "I heard about him..."

"In the news?" finished Edward for her. "Yep, I'm the new criminal mastermind of Gotham city. I've been having... competition, though, with you biggest lover boy," he laughed.

"Jack?"

"Is that what you call him? Yes, the Joker is more feared that I am, can you believe it?" scowled Edward. "I can be just a dangerous as he can and I'll prove it once I get rid of the people he holds more dear to. It'll be pay back on you part though, right? He's the reason why... what do you call them? Rachel Dawes and Harvey Dent?" he asked. He knew he was right by seeing the look on her face. "He's the reason why they're long gone."

"I won't allow you to speak about them in my presence," hissed Kayla.

"Yeah, whatever, anyways, after I'm done with you and those annoying piece of shits you call your kids, I'm finally get rid of the Joker and I'll take that beautiful henchwoman, Harley. Damn she's a good fuck," he said, sighing.

Kayla looked at him in disgust. "Is that why you tried to be friends with me? To get to Jack?"

Edward threw his head back in laughter. "Of course, do you actually think that I'll ever fall someone like you. I mean look at you. You're pregnant, fat, and with two annoying kids." Kayla felt hurt by his words. She should have known that he was bad news from the beginning. It felt nice to be liked again. "Now don't cry, Kay, I'm sure the Joker still likes you. He hasn't stopped liking you for all this years."

"Where are Iris and Taylor?" asked Kayla.

"Those two? You don't need to worry about them. You need to worry about that chap inside you right now. I'm sure he'll big and strong. Let's just hope nothing goes wrong in this... pregnancy," he said, looking at her belly.

"What do you mean?"

"Forget about it. You're due soon aren't you? Let's see how beautiful this baby will be. Oh, by the way," he said, before leaving. The shove the cane in front of her face. She noticed that it had a huge question mark on the top. "Do you like my cane?"
