Love Shouldn't Cause Pain?

Twins?!

🌱 Ivy's p.o.v 🌱

Baby bats delicate finger moved over two close but separate black and white shapes on the screen. I tried to ignore the words but I just couldn't... Harley is having twins. Harely's grip on my hand had increased yet again, this time my grip on Harley's had increased as well. Everyone starred hopelessly at the screen, by the time realisation set in we noticed that silence had engulfed all the air in the room. With no air everyone was left to figure it out on there own, in their minds. You never realise that your own mind is one of the most dangerous weapons you are equipped with, it's even more surprising when you realise it causes harm to you more than anyone else . When you are left alone with only your thoughts you think of the most utterly horrifying outcome possible, which is exactly what I did. What if Harley couldn't handle two baby's... What if during the birth something went wrong. What if having two baby's kil-

"Twins..." I was ripped away from my thoughts by the sound of Selina's voice. Hearing Selina reminded me that I could breath again, I took a deep breath in and felt my chest burn for moment. I turned around to Selina's eyes were welling up with tears, her fist was grasping still onto the transducer wand pushed up against Harley's... Twins. "Are they okay?"

Baby bats snapped out of it and turned her gaze to the screen, she scanned over the image on the screen making sure to take in every little detail.

"They seem to be developing just fine. Nothing to worry about Quinn." I heard Harley let out a shaky breath, she loosened her grip on my hand as she did so. My hand was still wrapped firmly around Harley's.

Baby bat walked away from the screen and took the wand from Selina who looked looked slightly pale. Baby bats took the wand of Harley's twins and put it back onto the trolley. She proceeded to grab a wipe and handed it over to me. I panicked for a second, I quickly got over my fear and moved the wipe in a circular motion over Harley's bump. After I was sure I got all the gel I threw the wipe onto the trolley. Whilst all of this was happening Baby bats was disconnecting all the wires and cleaning everything up.

"I'm gonna go talk to the boys okay? I will just be outside." Selina stumbled out of the door before anyone could say anything, not like I cared.

I looked at Harley and felt something I hadn't felt in a long time, it's been so long that I don't quite know what it was. Whatever it was it felt good. Harley's ocean blue eyes captured me and I couldn't look away, surprisingly looking in her beautiful eyes didn't cause me to breakdown. Harley suddenly pulled herself up so that she was sitting on the chair. She was close to me almost to close but I didn't care, her hand was still in mine but now our legs were slightly intertwined also. My palms started to sweat which is gross and Harley can probably tell, if she couldn't I would of been surprised. I was about to say something but Harley let go of my hand and slipped out of my grip, instead of getting up and walking away she grabbed me with both hands and pulled me close. We stayed like this for a while, when I realised we weren't stopping anytime soon I decided to hug her back with one hand, whilst the other hand caressed one of her beautiful blonde ponytails. I closed my eyes and everything else disappeared it was only me and Harley... And the twins.

"I'm so sorry Red..." Harley's voice was barley a whisper, if her mouth wasn't right next to my ear I probably wouldn't of heard her at all. After she spoke all I could feel was her warm breath against my ear, causing a shiver to to roll through my body.

"It's fine Harl... I'm sorry I overreacted." I reluctantly pulled away from the hug so I could gaze into Harley's magical blue orbs. I missed the close contact so I pulled her into a deep embrace.

"Red..." Harl pulled out of the embrace and looked straight at me. I could see a storm brewing in her eyes just before she looked down to her feet, which she could just about see over her bump. "I -I. Red I" she looked up from her feet with clear tears in her eyes. I started to panic but before I could do or say anything she carried on, never breaking eye contact. "I love you Red..."

"I love you too Harl." I chuckled straight after I uttered those five simple words. I wonder why she got so worked up about that. Just the thought of it made me chuckle again, we tell each other we love each other all the time. I guess we hadn't said it in a while though.

I looked back at Harley to see streams of sadness rolling down her perfectly sculpted face. Was it something I said?

"Harl... What's the matter..." I lifted my hands to wipe away her tears before they took over her whole face. After all traces of her tears had disappeared I cupped her cheeks in my hands and waited for her answer, my hands got sweaty once again but they were already wet from wiping away Harley's sorrows.

"I love you... I like love you, love you.." wait, as realisation set in no chuckles left my mouth. I starred at her searching for a sign that she was going to take it back or even say April fools... It could be April right?... No, the answer was no. "As- as more than a friend Red. I know it's crazy but just please don't leave me I -I can't live without you Red I - I Love You Red! Please say something.... I'm sorry, I'm sorry Red. It's not my fault, I - I didn't want to ruin things between us even more but I just couldn't lose you without telling you the truth at least."

Harley kept on apologising but I couldn't bring myself to stop her, my thoughts were running wild. All this time I thought I was in love with Harley before Phoebe got here. I was to afraid that she would reject me, that she would leave me, having her in my life as just a friend was better than possibly losing her forever. This whole time...
