I wake up again but this time I'm at home. I'm not in my bed but wrapped in Mr. J's arms on his bed. He had a death grip so if I tried to get up I would wake him. I decided to shake him gently until he woke up.
"What's wrong!?" Mr. J almost screamed. I lean back a little surprised.
"I'm fine. You were just squeezing a little tight." I say. He pulls me in again and holds me.
"That's cause I'm worried." He said smiling.
I smiled back. "For what?"
He stopped smiling. "You don't know how strong that medicine was do you?"
I look at him and break away. "How long?" I ask. He looks a little disappointed. But with who?
"Joker? How long was I out?" I ask.
He looks away then back to me. "3 days at a time. Ultimately you were out for a month and a half."
I look at him shocked then get out of bed. "What do you mean! I'm 5 and a half months pregnant? Why did you do this!? It can't be good for the baby!" I scream.
"Its been tested and its one hundred percent safe for infants." Mr. J said.
"Ok. But you still kept me asleep for a month and a half! I only have three and a half more months of my pregnancy left!" I yelled and stormed out of the house after putting my trench coat over my nightgown.
I slammed the door shut and put my hood up when I stepped into the rain. I walked to Red's house to escape Mr. J.
Knock, Knock.
"Coming, coming!" I heard Red answer in a sing song voice. She opened the door smiling ready to kill whoever was at it.
She stopped and pulled me into a hug. "What's wrong!? It's pouring out and you're wearing almost nothing!" She practically yelled.
"Thanks, mom." I said.
I know it was crabby but I really am not in the mood for anything.
"Ok. I'm sorry. What's up?" She asked.
I just stared at her. She pulled me inside and closed the door. We sat down and just waited patiently for me to explain. I took a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant."
"Isn't that a good thing?" She asked confused.
"Yes. It's a very good thing. Except I didn't know for the first three months and Joker kept me asleep for a month and a half." I explained.
"So your 4 and a half months pregnant?" She asked.
I looked down. "I don't even know how pregnant I am...." I said as I started crying.
Red hugged me before grabbing her coat and walking out the door. I hope she doesn't hurt Mr. J. Too much. Or do I? I don't know what I want anymore. Then I realized this could be bigger than Mr. J. I quickly put my coat back on and ran home. I opened the door and ran up to Mr. J, almost knocking him over when I jumped on him. He wrapped his arms around me and I just let my legs dangle.
"Hey, Doll." He said.
"I love you Mr. J."
"I love you to Harley." He responded.
He put me down and I realized Red left. "Where'd she go?" I asked. Mr. J just smiled.
"I don't know." He said as he grabbed and kissed me. I pulled back.
"Wait. Why'd you do it?" I asked.
He looked a little worried and I can see in his eyes it was to protect me.
"What was it?" I asked.
He looked away then back at me. "The doc said that if I didn't give it to you, you would get sick. The fact that you passed out was a side effect but it meant it was working."
I hugged him tightly. "Thanks Mr. J." I whispered.
