Daniel was now about 6 months old and Oswald finally felt like he could return to work though he didn't feel comfortable having anyone but Edward be left alone with Daniel and today Edward said he had a few errands to run so Oswald was watching Daniel in the Iceberg Lounge. He had set up a small play pen behind his desk that was in front of the window so Daniel could have plenty of sunlight for his nap. The day had gone well and now Oswald sat with Daniel in his lap watching the sunset over the Gotham. "Daniel, one day this whole city will be yours, I'm certain of it. You're the son of the most the intelligent man in Gotham and the one that almost controls the city." Stated Oswald as he held Daniel. "I'll show you how to rule this city so when I die I know it's in good hands." Said Oswald as he then started to think about his own death, about leaving Daniel. "But don't worry I'm right here with you and I'm not leaving for a long time." Said Oswald with a smile as he kissed the top of his son's head. "That is a promise." Stated Oswald softly as he wanted to believe that but he started thinking of it, it just wouldn't leave his mind. The thought of leaving Daniel alone in this city, it made him want to cry.
"Hey Boss." Stated Victor from behind him.
"Victor I thought I said I wasn't to be disturbed!" Barked Oswald as he turned in his chair and Daniel could barely look over the desk while sitting in his lap.
"Huh huh." Stated Victor as Daniel started to touch stuff on Oswald's desk.
"What is it Victor?" Asked Oswald as Daniel got ahold of a pen and Oswald took it from him.
"The Riddler's here." Stated Victor as Oswald stared at him.
"Victor I told you I married that man right?" Asked Oswald as he was genuinely lost if he ever told Victor that he and Edward were married. Victor just walked off in response and Oswald sighed. "I don't know why I let him disrespect me like that Daniel." Muttered Oswald as he lightly twitched his hand causing Daniel to squirm a bit.
"Oh there he is." Said Edward as he walked across the room and behind Oswald's desk leaning against it as Oswald handed Edward their baby. "I've been gone a few hours and I already miss him terribly." Muttered Edward as he kissed the side of Daniel's face holding him close.
"So now can you tell me what you were doing?" Asked Oswald as Edward sighed.
"While you pregnant, I heard rumors that Butch was alive so now that we don't need to be with Daniel at the same time I decided to look into it." Stated Edward as he held Daniel at the hip.
"And?" Asked Oswald softly yet nervously.
"Well Butch is alive but from what I've heard he has no interest in us but that could change." Stated Edward as he looked over at Oswald who seemed to be deep in thought. "Oswald, it'll be ok." Stated Edward as he took his hand.
"I'm not sure if it will, I killed him. He's gonna be pissed." Muttered Oswald as he held Ed's hand. "He's probably out for my head." He muttered as Oswald squeezed his hand.
"I won't let that happen, even if I have to hunt Butch down myself!" Stated Edward in a determined tone as Oswald smiled.
"You are so hot when you're determined." Said Oswald as he stood.
"Well I am always determined when it comes to you." Stated Edward as Oswald put his hand around the taller man's waist. Oswald placed his lips on Ed's and kissed him tenderly.
"I love you, Edward Nygma." Said Oswald.
"I love you too, Oswald Cobblepot." Stated Edward with a smile as Daniel made a noise almost like he was feeling left out.
"Oh and we both love you, Daniel Van Dahl." Said Oswald as he kissed his son's cheek.
"Ya know I still think it was really clever of you to give our boy your father's last name, it really will save him from going the ridicule of having us as parents." Stated Edward as he rubbed Daniel's back smiling at him.
"Yeah well I know what it's like to be picked on growing up and I don't want us to be the only people Daniel trusts. He doesn't need to be picked on just because of who we are." Said Oswald as he placed his hand on the back of Daniel's head running his fingers through Daniel black curly hair.
"You know I don't know where the curls came from." Muttered Edward as Oswald smiled.
"My mother, he seems to have a lot of her traits. She would've been so happy to be a grandmother." Said Oswald as he smiled at Daniel remembering his mother and knowing she would've loved Daniel. "If she were here, you and I would actually get some time to ourselves." Muttered Oswald.
"Why would we only get that if your mother were still alive?" Asked Edward as Oswald sat back at his desk.
"Well Daniel is the important thing I've ever had in my life, you are the only person alive I trust to be left alone with him." Said Oswald as Edward sighed. "I feel like you and I will forever be the only people we trust with him." Said Oswald softly. Though with Oswald's statement Edward had a genius level idea.
