AN: This oneshot is darker than what I usually write. You've been warned.

Harley sat in the corner of their bedroom, her bruised hands stroking her stomach tenderly. Her world had been turned upside down.

Her stomach twisted at the sight of the pregnancy tests that surrounded her.

All positive.

She felt the lump in her throat rise when she heard his voice echo in her head over and over.

"Get rid of it."

She knew Joker would never be open to the thought of a child, but she didn't expect the reaction she got. Her hand slowly made it's way to her bottom lip. She flinched when she felt the dry blood. It all became too much for her.

Although it hurt, she stood up slowly and grabbed a nearby baseball bat.

"Hush little baby, don't say a word.
Momma's gonna kill for you the whole damn world."

Harley entered the bathroom and let her tears fall as soon as she she saw the reflection of her mauled body in the mirror. Without thinking she immediately swung forward and let the bat smash against it, smiling when the broken glass fell around her.

She made her way out of the bathroom and scanned the room, gasping when she saw the glass vase that contained the rose Joker had given her after he threw her out a window.

"And if they don't laugh at our jokes,
Momma's gonna stab out their goddamn throats."

She brought her bat down on the vase and giggled when it smashed into pieces, water pouring out over the dresser it sat on.

"And if they start to run away,
Momma's gonna paint the streets with blood."

"And once the blood starts to wash off,
Momma's gonna blow some more heads off."

Harley continued smashing everything she could as her singing got louder and her voice became shakier.

"And if the world still doesn't laugh,
Momma's gonna go and poison them."

"And once the poison does it's job,
Momma's gonna show you you're legacy."

"And if the world still tries to fight,
Momma's gonna burn their houses down."

In the midst of her rampage, she spotted a picture frame on Joker's side of the bed. They looked so happy. Joker had his arms wrapped around her waist protectively as he smothered her in kisses. Harley was beaming. Her smile was so bright, it could put the sun to shame.

She missed those days...

She walked towards it and raised her bat.

"And if you grow up with his smile.."

She couldn't contain her emotions anymore as she furiously began to pound the picture frame over and over again. She picked it up, threw it against the wall, and stomped on it until she was drained of her energy.

She collapsed on the floor and sobbed violently for what seemed like an eternity.

Her tired eyes fluttered open and there sat the picture of her and her Puddin'. She grabbed it and held it close to her chest.

"Mommas gonna be so proud of you."
