Week 1- Wade walked around tired an week he was sick every day and his body had seemed to betray him. Harley never left his side. Full of love and desire she still treated him as much respect as the man he was before he began to die. He was weak and restless and didn't know which one to give into. Harley never let him lift a finger only told him how much she loved him. And that she was going to love him no matter if he was alive or dead. It didn't matter how he looked to her she made love to him when he felt able. She cooked him brain health meals hoping it would put an extra day on the calender for them, but they both knew it wouldn't.

Week 2- So many conversations to be had. So many people to see. So many things he wouldn't get to do. He felt lost and all he could see was her beautiful sparkling eyes like a light at the end of the tunnel.
"Howdy pal."
"Ed? What are you doing here?" He weezed "I'm not going to let you die without saying goodbye..." He looked at Harley who nodded and left. "What are you talking about I'll be fine."
"You have five weeks left and I know you want to spend them with Harley. Who told me by the way. I get it you are ready to go... It's Just... I'm gonna miss you... In this place I have never been refered to as anything else as the useless smart guy and you made me feel like a person. A friend, and I have never been more happier even thanks to you Gotham looks a little brighter. I'm sure the Bat will take credit, but I can almost garentee you that I'll tell every one about you and how lucky Gotham was to be around you."
"Ed... It's okay I'm just dying."
"Yeah and so is a little part of Harley and Ivy sent white roses for your bedside and Cat is trying to get together everything she can. We are all trying to make you comfortable. You're family."
"Thank you Ed. I never had a brother before."
"I never had a friend I guess we are even. Please rest peaceful alright."
"Alright Ed." He took his friends hand firmly it was afterall the last time he would ever see him. Edward sat and sat and sat until Wade closed his eyes. "How are you holding up?" He asked Harley as he took a cup of coffee out of her shaking hands.
"I'm holding."
"Can I do anything?"
"No I think I got it under control Eddy thanks for coming."
"No problem Harley. Anytime you need me you let me know."
"Of course Eddy."
"I am sorry Harley you find happiness and -"
"I'm okay Eddy. I did this to him and I'm okay." She smiled through her tears and nodded "I'm okay."
Edward put both cups of coffee down and took her in his arms. Like a brother would do a sister who was loosing their husband. Harley felt comfort in know she wasn't alone and she sobbed. She cried for every minute she wouldn't have with him. She cried because she would be alone after everything she had been through she was going to be alone again after finding true love. She was being broken all over again, but this time for damn good Reason.

Week 3- Wade couldn't get out of bed and only could eat soup which he threw back up violently. Still Harley stayed beside him, holding his hand and telling him it would all be over soon. She helped him into the bathtub and washed him slowly and lovingly. Making sure he was comfortable and in love for every second she had him. She couldn't cry anymore so she thought of humorous things like what if this was just a really awful prank. She had done worse. It could be, but she knew it wasn't and inside she wept harder and prayed for more time. Although her prayers went on deaf ears and time like rain seemed to trickle away into the ground, but for nothing to grow a love to be lost in the flood. "Harley what if you have a baby?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what if you have a baby and I'm not there?"
"Wade I'm pretty sure you said your sperm doesn't work."
"I don't know I've never tried." "So are we trying?"
"No I don't want to. I was asking... Would you think of me?"
"My sons name would be Wade Zander Wilson."
"What about a daughter?"
"Her name would be... Um... Well gee I don't know."
"Name her something that makes you think of me. Like Winona. Yeah that's a good one. Winona Ellyn."
"I like that." She smiled. "I wish you could be there for it."
"Me too Darling... Me too." He kissed her. "Sorry if it taste like puke."
"It's fine I'd kiss you any time."
"I want you to be Happy too."
"I am happy."
"And when I'm gone?"
"I'll be happy with my memories of you." She kissed his neck "Stop worrying about me and worry about resting. Or your friends back home."
"Harley I don't have any friends back home."
"You never know." She helped him into silk pajamas and crawled into bed beside him. With one last kiss she bid him goodnight.
