Harley looked in the mirror and smiled. She smiled at the lack of black eyes and bruises. She twirled around naked and didn't see anything that woul make her sick to her stomach. She looked pale and beautiful. Nothing coloring her world. And for once she was finallay healhthy. She didn't need some abusive clown telling her to paint a smile on the world. It had been a week since she seen Wade and she made her trips to his site a little less frequent. She didn't want to give herself hope without any evidence. She slid on her robe and Wynter kicked her moving the robe. "Quite the vain one aren't we?"
"She just knows she will be beautiful like her mama." Wally kissed her cheek. "Monring love."
"Good morning." She smiled
"Breakfast is ready."
"Oh is it?" She grinned. Wade wouldn't move unless he heard the word food. She took his hand and he led her to the kitchen. She inhaled and smiled wide at the scent of freshly grown roses. "Hiya Red!" She hugged her best friend.
"Hi my darling." She smiled and hugged her back tighter. "Woah big belly.. That is always gonna shock me." She said and rubbed Harley's belly again.
"Well it'll shock you for a few more months and then me with a stroller will shock you. You being Wynters godmother might shock you more.. I think she may very well have your green thumb."
"Well I can not wait." She smiled and then laughed. Not a laugh of joking but she was so happy she burst.
Harley wiped her eyes with all the tears. "You're also the maid of honor in my wedding to Wally."
"When is this?"
"In about about two months."
"Can I do flowers?"
"We'd have it no other way." Harley sat and looked at her two red heads. Sadness washed over her. Ivy had been her maid of honor when she married Wade. She'd been there to protect her from the clown. She'd help her with the wondeful children she was about to have. It'd be a wonderful life for them and that's all she could ask for. She knew everything was better than it ever had been. She would live this beautiful life with her beautiful family. With or without Wade. Though she wanted nothimg more than it to be with Wade. Wade was no settle. He made her feel whole. She'd found true unconditional love twice. More than some people find in thier whole life why not love it.
"Harley can I speak with you?" Ivy asked after they werem finished eating.
"Well I've got to get some stuff done anyway.. You girls take the day... Ivy take her to the spa on me."
"I've got it Wally.. You should probably just.. Take care of whatever it is you need to take care of."
Harley watched him leave. "Love you."
"Love you most." He said and walked out.
Ivy looked at her.
"What?"
"Are you sure about all this?"
"What do you mean?"
"Wally. Wade hasn't been dead for a year.. You're just like seven or eight months you've never mourned."
"Look Red. I know ya don't like my choice... But hear me out okay. I know Wade is happy. Or was at least.. Until his wife killed my whole thought of that."
"Wife?"
"Oh that's right I haven't told you anything.. When I married Wade Death like real live death came and spoke to me. She said that B-man found a cure. And the nicest thing I could have done was to allow him the sweet relief of death. And so I poisined slash cured my husband.. So that he could be with the woman he loved before me and will most likely love after me because I'm not immortal and he was. Aw Pammy I know I was selfish. I know I was crazy but I just wanted him to be at peace."
"You don't think he would have been at peace here. With you."
"I did, but then I thought about growin' old and dyin'... I've been near death before. But let's be honest. I'm gonna. And when I did. We don't know if my kids will live forever or not and I didn't want him to live on with all of his family dying. Mainly since he had a immortal wife and helluva a lotta hope. Way more than I could offer him."
Ivy nodded and almost felt sorry for her best friend. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be." She smiled. "I love him very much and I know he loves me."
"You're sure of this."
"I'd like to think so. Ya know.. It gives me peace Red. Like you get when one of your flowers go into the big green house in the sky."
She smiled and kissed Harleys head. "C'mon Mister Perfect jr wants you to have a spa day. So we shall give you just that.. Not sure how they are going to give you a massage with that big thing, but.. We'll make it work."
"Ivy I honestly think you're enjoying my pain."
"No of course not, but I do enjoy watching you waddle." She smiled.
Ivy had another event that she couldn't or rather wouldn't dare miss. So Harely rode home alone with plenty of time to think. She felt the children inside her kick and become more and more strong. She thought of Wade and looked at her ring. Maybe it was time she took it off. She was marrying someone else what point would it be to wear it anymore? She twisted it but could still not find the power to take it off. She wiped a tear from her eye and watched the scenary go by. When she got home Wally sat waiting for her. Harley got out of a limo and smiled at her prince sitting on the porch waiting "Hey you." He kissed her. "How are you?"
"Quite relaxed." She smiled. "How are you?"
"I'm confused."
"Confused?"
"I have a visitor."
"Visitor?"
"I'm a monkey."
"Monk- Oh haha Wally what is it?"
"Come in the living room."
They walked in the living room and Bruce sat there. Just brooding at her. "Bruce." She said. "Whata surprise.. What the holy hell are you doing here?"
"I'm here so you can tell Wally what you did. And so I can take you back to Arkham where you belong! To think that some morphed freak could change you was my own undoing. But I won't let that happen again."
Harley smacked him. "You watch your mouth when you talk about MY husband."
"Don't you mean ex. He's married to someone else now isn't he?"
"Hey Bruce.. Cool it on the low blows she doesn't deserve that just because your ego is hurt that some Harley quinn look alike caught you off your guard."
"She didn't catch me off guard!"
"What are you talking about?"
"The fact that he and selena were tied up the night at we found them."
"I.. I did it?" She looked down at her stomach. "Kinda hard don't ya think ya know with me being the size of a beach wale and what not I'm kinda not the right girl for the job B-man."
"You're going in Harley." Bruce made a step toward her.
"No Bruce... You can't and won't! Not only for her saftey but think of all the other reasons. First of all if she did this. She'd go to arkham where she would most likely get asked why she was there by a few people.. Think of what she'll say. Hog tyin' batsy watsy.. Something like that or along those lines. So people will without a doubt find out and you'll be a laughing stock. People who you have locked away will no longer be afraid of you. They will try to kill her for whatever big dog reason.. And she or those innocent children will be hurt. Which will put you, the JLA, and Gotham P.D. under a LOT of fire. Do you want that?"
Bruce stared at Quinn. "I can put you in an isolated cell until you push those babies out."
"This is all for your ego isn't it?! All because he chose me and not you isn't it?! Well tough Bruce! You let him down. Like I wouldn't... So back off. Not my fault someone liked me enough to beat ya up. Never has been neber will be now please leave my home."
Bruce stared at Harley who was tightened her grip on Wally, and clenched his teeth. "You're not going to do anything! Wally she attacked me and someone who was supposed to be her friend."
"Bruce she's eight months pregnant. You mean to tell me she climbed up a building and took both you and Selena on and you're just now getting to this. It's been a week!"
"Don't come to me when she reverts."
"I won't." He looked at Harley "Because she won't."
Bruce stormed off. And Wally watched as he slammed their door and disappered. He was emotional. That was a first. Wally looked at her. "Why'd you do it Harely?"
Harley de-tached from him. "You knew.. Why didn't you let him take me?"
"Because I love you and I'm not going to lose you weeks before your baby shower."
"Or our wedding."
"Or that. You should know better. I'm just annoyed he'd do something like that. If he knew you did it. He could have brought you in that night. He didn't have to paint you as a bad guy to me. You'll never be that to me. You can't expect me to let that go that easily."
"I-I'm sorry Wally. I seen you shed tears. How was I supposed to just let that go?"
"You do what I do when I hear you cry at night. You hold me and love me through my pain."
"Yeah.. But I just wanna punch him in the face repeatedly for what he done to you."
Wally smiled. It was nice to have someone feel that way about him. She felt something he felt her. When she and the Joker would put Batman out for a week he wanted to just strangle Joker. He kissed her. All that stuff was over, and their life was all that mattered. "We're almost there HQ.. Just take it easy.. Okay."
"I'm sorry."
"No more crime."
"No of course." She said "No more crime.. Although neither of us veiw what I did as such."
"Harley." Wally moaned. "Just this once can you not analyise me?"
"I can." She smiled and kissed her. "I love you enough to do so."
"I love you too." He smiled. "Now let's go get dinner."
Harley smiled. She knew women waited years to find someone who would love them the same way their dearly departed ones had. But she found him. She loved him more than anything, and he loved her and her unborn children. What a beautiful life she was living and all with out the maniac who had ruined it for her to start with. When Harley looked in the mirror at her round belly that night. Her face and body with no bruises, just the warm feeling of love. She didn't think of Wade Sr for once. She didn't cry wishing he would be there. She just smiled a normal beautiful smile. And it was wonderful.
