Today was her day. Today was the day where she'd ditch his last name, and marry some red headed loser who would take care of his babies and make him well forgettable. She had slept by his grave every night this week, he wasn't sure if it was out of hope or protection. But he was glad to be beside her. He loved her that much and he was just glad it was happening this way.
She said he goodbyes to him that morning and told him to wish her luck. He thought she didn't. He looked up and Death walked up to him. Her belly was still round, maybe it wasn't an illiusion after all maybe it reall was a baby. He stood. "I don't want to fight."
"Didn't say we were."
"What do you want to do then?"
She shurgged. "I dunno make it right?"
"Can't do that right now.. I'm still hung up on Harley."
"I know, but I just.. I thought I was a better fit."
"You were my first girl. You made me know what love was and I.. i am so grateful for that you'll never know. If it wasn't for your lessons in paitence and understanding I never would have loved Harley with the same unconditional love you love me with. I can't thank you enough for that."
"But I will miss you."
"Who's to say that you won't find someone else?"
"Uh I'm dead."
"Hot guys die every day. I should know I kill most of 'em."
She smiled. "It's not going to be the same without you."
"Huh?"
She kissed him softly and faded away.
He looked down at Wilson. "Dafuq?"
"I take it DP is still trapped up there."
"I wouldn't know." He said and laid his head back. "My babies are getting a step dad today."
"You make it sound like they're going to jail."
"Well.."
"Seriously. You're being a jealous girl right now."
"I am not!"
"You really are."
"You should shut your pretty mouth."
Wilsion rolled his eyes and then closed them.
Wade leaned back and closed his eyes.
Hours passed and he felt a kick on his boots. "What?" He asked looking up and seen Doctor Strange. "What Bitch wizard."
"It's time Dick nozzle."
Wade laughed so hard his stomach hurt. "You called me a dick nozzel."
"Yes I feel like the only language you seem to understand is insult comedy so I learned it"
"Very well. Where am I going?"
"You're going back to your wife."
"You're shitting me! On her wedding day?"
Wilson chuckled. "That's shitty."
"Think of it as poetic." He said "Besides she'll need you today before anyone else."
"Why?"
"I cannot say.." He said. "I just caught a glimpse of fear and figured no time like the present."
"Oh yeah real fucking smart. What if she already needs me."
"Guess you should stop yacking and start packing." Willson said.
"Do I get to keep my beautiful face."
"Don't see why not."
"Then I'm ready."
"Wonderful." Doctor strange threw out a black orb and held out his arm.
Willson and Wade walked through it together.
When they got to the other side they seen Wally fall dead. "Great timing doctor numbnuts." He groaned. He looked down and he was in the suit he died in. "Somebody had better put a fucking gun in here!" He checked the pocket and there was a black and red 9 .mm engraved with 'HQ & DP'
'Fucking angel.'
'Don't look now.. But.. She's got a knife to her throat.'
He shot without a second thought and the clown bastard fell flat. "Good." He watched her look at him and he waved. At least he looked nice. And his face wasn't warped with scars. It was when she fainted he started to worry.
'You should probably go save her.'
'No shit!'
Wade rushed over to her. He kissed her head and seen her body was gushing water. "Should we call someone. Call an ambulance!"
"O-Once been called" Nigma said "W-How are you here?"
"I'm here because.. MY WIFE IS KINDA IN SOME SHIT!" He heard the sirens wailing He lifted her and walked to the ambulance. He put her on the gurney. They got her in and they fled down the streets to get her to the nearest hospital.
When Harley came to she seen Wade holding her hand and smiling. "I'm here Harley.. I'm here." Harley felt a contraction and punched him.
"WHAT THE HOLY FUCK BALLS ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"I came back like I promised."
"Oh yeah real conveient of you! RIGHT WHEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF PUSHING!"
"Don't push." The medic said.
"I'm thinkin about it." She looked at him "This hurts like fuck."
"I dont doubt it."
She wiggled trying to get comfortable. "My damn Birthing pool better be ready."
"Aw you went with my idea."
"Shut up Wade. I can't be happy about you right now!"
"Well can you at least."
POW! Another punch "SHUT UP!"
Wade looked. "If I wanted my ass kicked I would have stayed at home."
Harley sat in her pool and hummed to the babies. They were on thier way out with no issue. She just had to fight the pain and shock of the day. She looked at the doctor. She was calm from the small dose of relaxer they gave her. "So how are we doing Doc?"
The doctor looked at her "You're doing good... You're almost ready to push. Would you like to bring your husband in for a moment or two?"
"Sure."
The doctor walked out and Wade walked in. "Hi."
"Hi."
"I'm sorry about Wally Harely I really am."
"I guess I should be.. He told me one life will always be taken for another to come back. I just wish it wasn't his."
"Me too." He said and sighed. He felt awful for taking a love away from her and their children. It was specail. They needed him. He was a calm Wade wasn't so sure he was. "I'm sorry Harely."
"I'm glad you're back. I wouldn't want to spend this moment wishing you were.."
"Were what?"
Harley looked down and seen something strange in the water "Wade get the doctor!"
Wade ran to get her and came back in with the doctor.
"What's wrong?" She asked
"Look down am I crazy."
"No." She smiled "You're ready."
With 50 pushes and a lot of crying Wynter and Wade were born. Wynters hair was black as night and pale and beautiful. Her eyes were blue. Such a blue that Wade could describe. Wade was beautiful too, but he looked Identical to Wade when he was a child. He was perfect. He sat there with them. Watching Harley sleep. When she finally stirred she looked at him. "How are they?" She asked.
"Asleep they look like you when they sleep."
"You think so?"
He nodded. "You're magnificent. Doing all this without me."
"I wasn't alone I had Wally."
"I'm so sorry about this Harley."
"Not your fault he warned me."
"He did?"
"Yeah and I didn't listen..I told him I just wanted you and I didn't care about the cost. I just wanted my true family."
"I.. God I'm sorry"
She shook her head. "Don't be."
"You did all of this. And I did nothing. I just was dead. Harley I wish I could change this."
"So do I." A tear fell from her face.
Wade grabbed her hand. "We're together now. His name can be Wally... Doesn't have to be... Wade I don't deserve it."
"Wally sounds nice.."
"Good. His name shall be Wally Wade. Cause it's cool and he's going to be a tonuge twister." S
She smiled. "I'm proud of them."
"So am I."
They lie there and watched their children sleep. Everything was finally right. With a lot of problems, a lot of pain, and hours upon hours of suffering. They found each other. And not even death could keep them apart. Harley looked over and seen Death. She had some fear that she'd come and ruin it. but she pulled Wally to her side. It looked to her like Death had finally found happiness too. She smiled and looked at Wade "It looks like we got Happiness ever after after all." She smiled.
From then on they found happiness in every day moments. Wade started his own Security company and Harley continued to work with the heros. She did excellent work with them and worked hard to allow them to understand that it's okay to be a hero with a dash of villian at times. She and Bruce became the best of friends and took the children to visit Wally every saturday.
Wally and death welcomed children of their own and took in children who had been killed in tragic was and had yet to find peace. Even in the after life they found ways to spread love and peace. It was Wallys dream and Death was proud to find someone so special. Every night she thanked Harley. For everything.
Wade loved Harley like every day was their last together. Though they and their children were immortal it didn't matter. He knew what it was like to live without her or the children and he never would again. It was things like that that made their lives worth living. Together.
Bruce and Selena got married four years after he was no longer paranoid of weddings adn welcomed a daughter. Asera, Who was Harleys God daughter. She and Wynter took Harleys Gymnastic class twice a month. And their Aunt Ivy's Botany twice a week. (Because flowers were more important) Bruce was proud to have them. All of them.
Gotham was safe thanks to Batman and Deadpool who knew how to reason when Batman didn't. Every once in a while Harley would go on patrol on the quiet streets. She never heard laughing or anything that made her think of her dark red and black checkerboard past again. It was a pleasant life. It was their life. It was the best life. And Harley finally had her peace. And it was beatuiful.
