Marvellous Mrs Maisel one shots

Something Beyond Love

"Fuck off this isn't fair why don't you focus on the people actually doing harm why are you so dead set on making me an example." I scream this being my third arrest of the fucking night I was in an awful mood.

"Shut up back there.." The cop in the front growled angrily at me.

"I have the right of free speech you motherfuckers I'll be quiet when I feel like it." I yell at them kicking at the bars that kept us apart. The rest of the drive was silent on there side ignoring my yell all the way to the station.

"Get out of the car." The officer says opening the door of the car. "Since this one thinks it's appropriate to talk about a man's penis why don't we put you with the guys."

"No you can't do this please don't do this." I scream trying to get free.

"Your lucky there's only one other guy."The officer says taking me to the cell and there he is Lenny Bruce.

"You planed this didn't you?" I yell at him most of my anger was directed towards the cops and it was that reflecting into my current tone but I was mad at him too.

"Planed what what is she doing on the guys side." Lenny asks the cops seemingly clueless.

"Ask her." the officer says unlocking the cell and pushing me in closing the door behind me and leaving. The cell wasn't unfamiliar it was nearly identical to the woman's, but the stench of piss was new and unpleasant.

"This had to be planned there is no way I get put with the guys and the only guy in the cells is you." I tell him anger still coursing through my veins.

"Well it happened I've been here for 24 hours I didn't have anyone to call." Lenny says and my anger turns to sadness he could have called me.

"You could have called me." I tell him a tear leaving my eye that he didn't think he could call me that I wouldn't have come and got him out of this hell whole.

"You freaked out at the sight of me thinking that I planned this." He says thinking the heart of my anger was at him.

"I'm more angry at the police this is my third arrest of the night I'm tired and moody and incredibly thankful clubs will take me. I was telling dick jokes and talking about a mind blowing comic who made me orgasm 5 times in one night." I tell him and a laugh escapes his lips.

"Do I know this comic." He says His pointer finger resting on his smirking lips as he talks.

"Yes you do. The cops pulled me off stage as I was discussing what I hoped happened on the stage at Carnegie hall that night." I tell him and his smirk grows as the gears in his brain turn.

"Tell me what did you want to happen and can we do it here and now?" He asks me the smirk growing with every word.

"Hmmm possibly but only if you sit through your wake up call without interrupting." I tell him with a smile.

"I'll sit through it, can't promise I'll agree." He says with a sigh knowing what was coming.

"I know what's in the bag Lenny like I literally know." I tell him the memory of Honey showing up at a gig of mine shining in my brain.

"How could you know?" He asks the words sounding annoyed but his voices more inquisitive

"You want to know what happens when your ex wife and your something or other become friends they talk about men she asked if... if I knew about the bag after I told her about our night together." I tell him

"Why did you tell her?" He asks not understanding why we would talk about him.

"She asked I didn't lie I also confirmed that you didn't tell me about the morphine and the heroin Lenny you may think that you have it under control but you don't before you say I need to stop controlling you or trying to fix you I'm not trying to do any of that. Lenny you got angry with me realizing that I put you on a pedestal how much I look up to you, but you do the same thing with me I see it every time you look at me, you look at me like I'm the most important thing in the world don't get me wrong it's a great look and feels amazing, but it's also a lot of pressure. My point is I can't loose you Lenny your my best friend and even though Jail isn't the best place to tell you this but I care about you I may even love you I'm not completely sure." I tell him and he gets up from the bench walking over to me is hands on either side of my waist.

"How can you not know if you love me or not." He says his forehead now resting against mine.

"I've been in love before but this feels different stronger people throw the word love around at random, people say I love you after cheating. After a while does I love you really mean anything, so I don't love you I something else you." I tell him looking into his gorgeous eyes, looking down before he could respond but he lifts my chin bringing my eyes back to his.

"I don't love you too." He says our lips joining together fitting perfectly it wasn't like the past kisses in the blue room those kisses were lust filled theses kisses contained something else.

Six months later

"The bride and groom have prepared vows." The rabbi says and Lenny pulls out a of paper out of his suit pocket.

"Midge I don't Love you." He reads and the guests gasp Susie did a spit take of the contents of her flask. Where tears of delight fill my eyes. I wipe my eyes and Lenny pass me the paper.

"I don't love you either." I say and there were several more gasps and people wondering what was going on and someone asking if, we're breaking up.

"You may now kiss the bride." The Rabbi says absolutely confused by Lenny and I. But we don't care Lenny places his forehead against mine just like he did that night 6 months ago and our lips touch and fireworks explode through us.

10 minutes later

I felt a tap on my shoulder expecting Lenny I turn expecting another kiss or for us to make our getaway cause who would expect the bride and groom to sneak away from there own reception but instead it's Shy we had gotten close again since his wedding and he's now one of my closest friends.

"You look beautiful I don't understand the theme but you look beautiful Midge." He says looking around at the Jail themed decor the lights that flash like that of a squad car and the mini cakes on every table in a mini jail cell each with a cake topper of Lenny and I kissing.

"Thanks Shy and as for the theme Jails pretty big in Lenny and my relationship we met in a squad car and we confessed our feelings to each other in a jail cell." I tell him breathing in the room which is exactly what Lenny and I wanted.

"Monica and I are getting a divorce." Shy tells me with a smile

"Finally! You deserve to be happy Shy." I tell him in return

"So how long till I should be expecting a mini Bruce or Maisel that kid will be getting a lot of singing lessons from me." He says changing the conversation away from his love life.

Skip time

"Midge Where's Lenny?" Shy says giving me a Bouquet of flowers is a china vase.

"I sent him home with Kitty, he was scaring the nurses he was freaking out because she was born in the cab we were taking to get to the hospital talking about all the bacteria and germs that could have been in the cab." I tell him Shy laughing at Lenny's worrying.

"She just wanted to get a early peek of our world." Shy says smiling at me.

"She was almost born on stage I wasn't expecting her to be so early." I tell him both of us laughing.

"With Bruce and Weissman blood running through her I'm surprised she wasn't born on stage... Uh can I see her?" Shy asks laughing at his first comment, as I open the drawer.

"Shy meet your Goddaughter Shyah." I tell him and his eyes meet mine.

"You named her after me?" He asks and I nod

"Her full name is Delilah Shyah Weissman-Bruce." I tell him.

"She's perfect Midge." he replies.

"She's all her mother something beyond love." Lenny says coming in behind holding his 6 year old daughter in his arms knowing she was nervous being in the hospital.

"Something beyond love, I like that."
