Her eyes fluttered opened and she squeezed them shut again. She knew where she was and she didn't want to be here. She was in the infirmary at Arkham. The ladies in here were nicer than they should've been towards her. They tended to the wounds inflicted by her beloved Mr. J on many occasions. Lucy, the head nurse, always tried to advise her to stay away from the Joker, but like always Harley refused to listen. She often stated that Lucy would never understand. But She always did. Lucy was in an abusive relationship at one point in her life as well. Lucy was one of the lucky ones who got out in time. This time Lucy was more horrified by the results of Harley's blood test than when the Joker injected her with batrachotoxin. Harley Quinn, sidekick to the Joker, who was a homicidal maniac, was pregnant. Lucy walked quickly to the front desk and grabbed a large orange envelope. She bit off the cap to a pen and circled Harley's name. Then she drew an arrow to the part of the report that showed the pregnancy test results. She recapped the pen and shoved the papers into the envelope. In sharpie she wrote: URGENT! OPEN AND RESPOND ASAP! "Get this to Leland. Don't stop, don't give it to anyone else, and don't open it. Make sure she gets it." She murmured.
"Harley Quinn" Dr. Leland read when she opened the package given to her by the nurse. She pulled on her glasses and sighed. She followed the arrow drawn on the paper. It took a few seconds to rip off her glasses. Harleen Francis Quinzel was almost two months pregnant. What are the options? She asked herself. If she doesn't know yet we could slip her the pill... She shook the thought from her mind. That was immoral. No matter how mentally unstable, who was she to decide that Harleen couldn't actually have the child. So adoption? She asked herself. She threw her head into her hands and sighed. There was a knock on her door. "Dr. Leland?" Her assistant was standing in her doorway. "The head nurse is on line one." She said cheerfully. "Thank you, Alison." She sighed picking up the phone and waving her out. "Leland." She said. "Hello, Dr. Leland. Did you receive the package?" Lucy whispered. They both knew that removing papers from the infirmary could get them in trouble, but this was urgent. "What are we going to do?" Leland asked. "I'm not sure, but I don't think she knows." Lucy whispered. "What makes you think so?" Leland asked looking over Harley's documents once again. Lucy looked over her shoulder seeing Harley rubbing her stomach and smiling. "Just a hunch." She murmured.
To those of you following this story thank you sooo much for being patient with me. I had a severe case of writer's block then a sudden surge in inspiration for at least, let's count... Gotham High, Steady Damage, [soon-to-come] Deadpool and Harley Quinn story, a couple one shots that are in the making... you get the idea. And I was back to writer's block. Now I'm just writing as much as I can in each story. Please continue to be patient and READ AND RESPOND!
