I'm sorry this has taken so long to upload - a lot has been going on lately. So anyway, onto the story.
The Joker stopped the van with a skid. The windows were down so his manic laughter filled the night air. Harley ran out of Ivy's house and hugged the Joker as he climbed out of the van
"You should have been there Haarl." He said, smiling widely and spinning her around slightly "Batsy was at our mercy as well" he laughed "So, how was your time here?"
"Oh, it was good" Harley lied "we watched some chick flicks and chatted"
"Come on tell him Harley" Poison Ivy muttered to herself from the lounge window
"Um Puddin'?" she asked timidly, she knew the Joker had an erratic temper and she prayed her news wouldn't anger him too much
"What is it Kiddo?"
"I'm pregnant"
"What?" Harley gulped
"I'm pregnant?" She said nervously,
"Get in the van, we'll talk about this later" The Joker growled but held his door open for her to climb onto the front seats. He climbed in after her and slammed the door shut so hard it felt like the van shook slightly
"Is everything alright Boss?" One of the thugs asked, leaning forward slightly. Harley struggled a little to put her seatbelt on
"Everything is fine Clive" The Joker said through gritted teeth.
They sped home at an even faster speed than usual The Joker had taken his gloves off and his knuckles were pale from gripping the wheel so tightly. Back at the warehouse The Joker ordered his men to 'kindly fuck off' to which they scampered off to their homes, leaving Harley alone with The Joker
"When did this happen?!" He shouted angrily
"Three weeks ago, well that's what the pregnancy test said anyway" Harley nervously said, The Joker raised a hand – as if to strike her – but ran it through his hair when he saw her cower. He walked away from her and slammed his hand down onto the kitchen area work surface. Harley stayed where she was - not daring to move, she had to be careful. She didn't want to lose the baby
"Was it when we, uh" The Joker paused, awkwardly scratching the back of his head "experimented?"
"It must have been Puddin'" Harley automatically put her hands across her stomach, she suddenly realised that she soon wouldn't be able to fit into her jester's outfit, she walked over to the sofa and collapsed ,in tears, onto the sofa. The Joker frowned and walked over to her – he did not really know how to deal with a hormonal Harley – and sat down next to her
"What's wrong?" he asked, trying to sound concerned
"I'm going to get fat" Harley said, wiping away a few tears. The Joker laughed,
"That's it? Ha-ha, you're going to have a baby and you're worried about getting fat."
"We're keeping it?" Harley instantly perked up; this would get rid of having to argue with The Joker about keeping the unborn child
"I have to think about it" his face was serious
"Puddin', please. I can't have him killed"
"When did you suddenly decide it will be a boy hmm?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
Harley leant back into the sofa. Wondering what made her think it would be a boy. It would be lovely to have a boy – she could call him Jack and he would grow up to be just like his father. The Joker cleared his throat. He needed to shoot something but thinking about it – he didn't want to leave Harley on her own. He also admitted to himself that he was slightly scared of what her red haired friend would do to him. Harley and the Joker sat on the sofa, neither of them saying a word to each other for the rest of the night (which was only a couple hours). The sun began to rise and the two clowns decided that they were going to keep the child.
I can't make any promises about being quicker at uploading the next chapter.
But please do rate and review.
