Joker's POV
Rosalie's on the ground screaming, definitely not the reaction I expected. I am trying to pick her up but she is hysteric and fighting me. I here the fucking bastard say "Awl she does remember me. I am so flattered. Honey, we are going to get out of here and have some fun." This made Rosie try to run and Johnny knock him out.
"Get me away from him! Get me away! Get him out of my house!" She is screaming and sobbing. I am holding her tightly and the house starts shaking. I look around and me and her are surrounded in purple energy. Johnny is quick thinking and fights through the energy and he looks to be in pain, but he keeps going and hits her with a tranquilizer.
The energy fades and Johnny falls to the floor. I need to give him a raise. Rosalie is silent and I loosen my grip. She is barely awake and her eyes are glassy. She is looking at me desperately and whispering "It's him, it's him, J. Keep him away." She finally dozes off and I relax.
I tell the men "Take him down to the basement, lock him up good, and I want around the clock eyes on him through someone monitoring the cameras." They quickly gathered him up and took him down. Johnny was groaning and getting up slowly.
"Boss, you have one hell of a woman. Don't get on her bad side, it's extremely painful he jokes." He jokes even though he isn't looking too hot,
"That she is, Frost. I wonder why it didn't hurt me though." Frost nods in wonder.
"I will have this place cleaned my morning." Frost says eventually.
"Expect a big fat raise coming your way, Johnny boy." Frost smiles at this and walks away while taking out his phone.
I take my girl upstairs to our bed. I change her so she is wearing one of my button up shirts and fresh underwear. I hold her as she sleeps, but my I never fall asleep. I worry about what could have happened to her. I worry about her powers; could they hurt her if she lost control? Could it hurt our children? What if people found out? They would hunt her down and use her. I feel a pang in my chest, because that is exactly how this all started. Then I worry about her reaction to Russo. That is not the reaction of seeing her first love. Of course, her feeling could be scrambled thanks to ECT.
She wakes up after a few hours and looks instantly fearful. "Where is he, J?" I am unsettled by how much fear is in her. "Where is he?" She insists when I don't answer.
I finally say something "He is locked up in the torture room in the basement." She panics and I am afraid she will have another attack.
Instead she starts pleading. "Kill him, kill him and get his body far from here. Please, J. I beg you, please, please, please. Get him far from me and my children." She is holding her stomach and crying.
"You don't have feelings for him?" I let my worry slip out without thinking. She looks like I just slapped her and her face is full of pain.
"Me? Have feelings for him?! All I will feel for him is a hatred deeper than anyone could ever have." My face is confused, making her face confused. "J, I thought you of all people would want to rip him apart for what he did to me. Go, do it. I am not holding you back."
"I mean yeah he is an asshole for breaking your heart and leaving you alone with a baby. I was just worried you may want to be with him instead of me since he was your first love." She gets stock still. I have never seen her so cold and calm. She was just near hysterics, now she is someone I barely recognize. She gets up and takes off, I try to keep up but fuck she is quick, I have never seen her move so fast and it looks like no effort is put in. We make it to the torture room and Russo is asleep.
She doesn't even look at him. She grabs my purple and green crowbar and starts wailing on him causing me to jump back in surprise. I have never seen her like this. It is incredibly sexy and yet...scary. He wakes up instantly. He tries to talk and she hits again causing an audible crack from his ribs. She steps back breathing heavily.
"Oh baby! You do remember me. You know, I still have dreams about how good it felt to be so deep in you." I almost grab the crowbar to beat him myself but she is screaming at him and hitting him with it again.
"You told him that you were my first love! I will kill you, no I will make you beg for death then MAYBE kill you." That's why she was mad? Because he told me who he was? I get kind of mad. She is upset because it isn't a secret. I'm going to take her upstairs and beat him myself. I go to take the crowbar far her and stop this. She looks at me surprised and full of hurt and betrayal.
"J, this is the man that raped me, the one who stabbed me, the one that held me captive for three days." She said in a harsh low voice.
I do not think I have ever seen red so rapidly. I never get to question him, I beat him with my own fists until his breathing stopped. I can't calm down. The rage isn't disappearing. I have Rosalie on a table in no time. She is trying to calm me. I can feel her attempt with her little hands touching me but it just isn't working enough.
I want to hurt the nearest thing and unfortunately its her. Part of me is enjoying this power over her, the other is screaming at me to stop. She isn't fighting me. Rosie please fight, use your power to get me off you. My kisses are too rough to even be called kisses. I am pulling her hair with one hand and my other hand is around her neck. I bite her shoulder hard marking what is mine. She moans and arches her back. I use my hands to rip her panties away. I grab her hips, digging my nails in and slam into her, surprised to find her so wet. Guess my Rose isn't very fragile.
That's when I notice we are surrounded by purple energy. A tendril was coming towards me, thinking it was going to hurt me, I brace myself. I moan when it hits me because it fills me with pleasure I have never felt before. It wraps around my torso, my arms, and my legs. A voice is begging it pulls me off her. Instead it just pulls me tighter to her.
I continue to fuck her relatively roughly, but surprise myself when it's not nearly as violent as I intended. She is enjoying every second of it and it's almost like I can feel her pleasure as well. It is like the energy is melding us together. I kiss her on the lips hard and the pleasure is overwhelming causing us both to come.
I am calm once we finish. I get her the fuck out of this room that contains the piece of shit that hurt my girl. I take her to our room where I know she is safe, I am not leaving her today. Maybe not ever. I may even follow her to the restroom, I don't care. I need her in my sight at all times.
"What the hell just happened?" I ask her. She looks as stunned as I do and I notice she is a little weak at the knees, making me smirk with pride. "That's right baby girl, I did that to you."
"I know you did, and I want you to do it again and again until I am tired of screaming 'daddy'". Her challenge is unexpected and makes me gasp. This time she is smirking with pride. My little minx. I long to punish her for it but refrain.
"We need to be careful. I know you like to play the big girl who can handle everything and anything, but you are my little girl and fragile in many ways, especially for the next six months." She nods in agreement. I love how she can see my logic and knows it's stupid to fight me, Harley never did and it always got on my nerves.
"Frost texted me earlier and informed me he has a doctor coming today. Frost also is bring all the machines and such we will need from now until the birth so you can give birth here comfortably." I informed her. She lit up when I told her and jumped excitedly. Sometimes her Bipolar disorder really showed. I laugh at my thought.
"Speaking of which, I wanted to talk to you." Her words had me concerned. "I think at twenty weeks, we can find out the sexes of the babies. Would you want to find out right away or wait?" Oh that's what she was curious about.
"Hmm I have no idea baby girl. Whatever makes you happy." She pouted at my answer. So she wanted me to decide for us. She has so much responsibility on her shoulders. I sigh and decide. "Let's wait till they are born."
She smiles and goes on "Ok, that works. I picked all different shades of green for the nursery. Speaking of which, what room should we use? We need to paint the room…" She went on and on for hours about what she bought, what she wanted to do, etc. I just smiled and stared. SHe was so beautiful. She lit up the whole room and her vibrancy radiated.
We went downstairs and made lunch. Frost did great and the house was spotless. I was doing everything I could to keep her laughing. I loved the sound and her happiness was my drug. I just couldn't get enough. I briefly checked in with Frost to make sure everyone was still searching for Vassalio members.
Rosalie was cleaning up despite my protests. I was looking for a movie for us to watch, hopefully a comedy. I don't do well with her romantic ones and she freaks out over my horror ones.
Bing.
I check my phone expecting Frost. Instead it was an unknown number. I opened the picture and it was a nude photo of a woman, but not just any woman.
Bing
'Miss me Puddin'?' was the text. It even had a kissy face emoji with it. Fuck, god damn it. We can't catch a fucking break. I forward everything to Frost and have him dig info on it. Hopefully to locate her. I deleted everything as Rosalie came in.
"Everything okay?" She asked, seeing my expression. I nod but I am quiet as we sit through the movie. She asks me several times 'what's wrong?' and kept saying 'nothing'. After several times of asking, I snap at her and tell her to mind her own damn business. She gets quiet and says nothing. Not even laughing at the movie. I feel awful, but she can't know Harley is trying to come into my life again. It will stress her out and she and the babies don't need that.
The doorbell rings right before the movie is over. I go and answer it, my gun in hand. It's just the doctor, I sigh with relief. "Good afternoon, I am Dr. Ludwig. I hear your wife is pregnant." She is older and has a stern face. She doesn't even flinch at meeting me, definitely not the usual response I get.
Rosalie comes in behind me. She extends her hand to the doctor "Hello Dr. Ludwig, I am Rosalie Blake and this is my boyfriend, Mr. J." she is friendly and charming. It sounded weird to be called 'boyfriend' especially hearing it from Rosie. She was just way more than a 'girlfriend' to me. I scowled.
"My men prepared a room for her earlier today. You will do your work there. Rosie, how about you get the nice doctor a drink." I instruct wanting to talk to the doctor privately and Rosie knows. She rolls her eyes but goes anyways. "I hope you were informed of our confidentiality agreement. Essentially, if you say anything at all, you die. We don't exist outside this house for all all that concerns you.
The doctor narrows her eyes and stays firm. "Joker, I am not stupid. I am a friend of Johnny's. He has informed me well, and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I get a shit ton of money after your girlfriend gives birth. My son has cancer and we need it. You can count on me." I almost like this doctor, she is stern and knows the dark deals of this world. If Rosie likes her and she does a good job, she will be paid even more than she expecting.
Rosie enters with a bottle of water and I instruct the ladies to follow me. The room is set up with machines of all sorts and a hospital like bed. Everything that would be needed is in this room. Rosie and Dr. Ludwig look impressed. I notice a familiar folder on the counter and hand it to the doctor. "This is her file they started when they found out she was pregnant." The doctor took it and reviewed it.
"Okay Ms. Blake, I am going to step out while you get changed." Rosie nodded and I kissed her forehead before walking out with the doctor.
Once we were out and the door closed I decided to keep her in the loop "Doc, what I am about to tell you is strictly confidential." She looked at me curiously and motioned for me to continue. "Rosie is special, she is an empath, able to read and control emotions." The doctor looked surprised by this. I cut her off before she could ask questions. "She also releases a purple energy that does all sorts of things, typically when she is in distress. Recently she was attacked and the energy protected her and also attacked those who tried to hurt her."
The doctor looked thoughtful at this new information. "And you want to make sure the babies are okay after that incident." I nodded, the doctor was smart.
Before we could talk more, we heard a faint "I'm ready" from the room. We go in and she is in a gown with a blanket on her legs and swinging her feet as she sits on the bed. I swear, sometimes she looks so young, my baby girl having babies. I smile at the thought.
"Okay sweetie, we are going to take a look at these beautiful babies. You should be only 11 or 12 weeks along, so we won't be able to determine gender until 16 weeks. Are you both wanting to find out then?" Dr. Ludwig asks. That was sooner than we thought. I almost regret my choice.
"We will wait till the birth." Rosie answers with determination in her voice causing the doctor and I to laugh. "What? It will be practice for the patience I need for parenthood." She says, causing us to laugh harder. She crosses her arms over her chest and pouts jokingly. I kiss her head marvelling. How the hell does she always smell like cupcakes?
The doctor asks us several questions that mostly Rosie answers. Rosie also briefly describes why she was told she wasn't able to have kids again. I blanch when the doctor says that such a past complication makes her more of a high risk pregnancy. Apparently having twins already increased her risk. I am getting nervous as they discuss the possibility of bed rest and such towards the end of the pregnancy to make sure the babies make it to term.
I'm starting to get a sick feeling in my stomach talking about all of this. I might lose all of them. But Rosie seems to know a lot. Shit I didn't even know she had been taking the vitamins she is supposed to. I frown at my lack of knowledge and feel almost neglectful so when the doctor says she is leaving us some books about pregnancy and babies, I am thankful.
Finally the doctor pushes up Rosie's gown after firing up on of the machines. She squirts a gel on her belly, causing Rosie to flinch, making me angry until Rosie looks at me and says "It's just cold.". The doctor took something that looked somewhat like a computer mouse and rubbed it on her belly. She fiddles with the buttons on the machine and whooshing could be heard. There was a couple of fast beats to be heard.
"So you are hearing their heart beats right now. They sound very strong and healthy. Now lets see...this is baby A. I will take a picture for you to keep." She stayed there for a minute and then moved the wand. "This is baby B." Rosie and I made no sound as we stared at our children and listening to their heartbeats. The image froze and we still stared. The doctor was doing something but I wasn't paying attention. She then hands us a folder of stuff. Rosie pulls her attention away.
"I printed two copies of each baby so you both could have images of both babies. On the CD is the sound of their heartbeats." She had gone an extra mile for us.
"Thank you so much." Rosie whispered.
"I will let myself out. I left my number for you both. Call me to schedule for your visit in the next couple weeks." She left and I still couldn't form words.
I just saw both my babies. They even looked like babies, small but still baby shaped. My amazing little girl was housing and protecting them. There is no one in this world who I would trust with the lives of my children but her.
Rosie grabs my face and wipes my cheeks. I must of let tears slip. She is the only person I would let see them. Then it hit me all at once. There will be no woman after her, she is my one and only. I will love her till my last breath, even then, I will love her even after I died. While my soul is being tortured in hell, my love will cross to the heavens where my angel rests. She eclipses everyone I THOUGHT I loved before her.
I got down on one knee and grabbed her hands. She looked at me in shock and almost weary. "Rosalie Belle Vassalio Blake, I am terrible at speaking my feeling and it rarely occurs, but it will happen now. I love you in a way I never thought possible for me. I was certained that the ability to love was burned away in the acid. The moment I met you, my world started to revolve around you and boy is it a view." I smile shyly and she has tears running down her face. "Let me be the one to wipe your tears, let me be the one to protect you, please let me be the one to take care of you. I want to grow old with you. I want to wake up everyday with you by my side. We have the whole world against us and I wouldn't want to fight it with anyone else. Let's conquer life together as partners. I don't ever want to be called a 'boyfriend' again" I said with distaste, causing her to laugh. "Will you please do me the immense honor of becoming my wife?"
I was nervous. I mean what sane person would want to spend the rest of their life tied to me? She was smiling so big but her eyes had tears. I am so confused. She tries to open her mouth and speak but nothing comes out making me more nervous so I stand up. She starts nodding enthusiastically. My face breaks into the largest grin. I kiss her which becomes heated quickly. We christen the hospital bed.
This woman is mine forever and life could not have been better.
