Batman x Joker What Would I Do Without You

Chapter 33

Joker POV

Joker was in his funhouse sitting on the tiny torn up bed he slept on thinking to himself. Harley is just a few days away from her due date, they still don't know whether it'll be a boy or a girl because Harley wanted it to be a surprise. Joker thought about how just a couple months ago was the last time he would ever be as close to Bruce as he was, even waking up in the same bed as him until he was pushed out because that wasn't his home anymore.

He needed to keep an eye on Harley though because since she was close to her due date it was possible for her to go into labor at any moment. Joker didn't have time to dwell on how much he missed his ex boyfriend.

Joker walked into the main room of their hideout and saw that Harley left him a note saying, "Hey Puddin, I left to get more baby supplies while I still have time to, don't worry I'll be fine for an hour or two on my own, see you soon."

"I leave the room for two minutes and she runs off... ugh.." Joker had to go out to find her.

As he was walking down the streets of Gotham it was later in the evening, the sun was beginning to set. He had no idea where Harley was getting baby stuff from but he knew for sure she wouldn't be in a store buying anything, she'd never pay only steal. Joker couldn't blame though he did the same and didn't care. The other place she might be is with Poison Ivy but Joker couldn't show his face around her after nearly killing her. Joker decided he'd rather just walk aimlessly around the city until he spotted her.

He eventually found her on a random street corner with nobody else around. She was lying in pain screaming for help. Joker ran over trying to help her up.

"Harley! Harley, what's wrong? Are you ok?"

"Oh Mr.J, thank god you found me, I think I'm going into labor and nobody would help me because of who I am!" She tried to focus her breathing.

"Harley, we're too far from the hospital to get you there quick enough and it's dark out..." Joker had to think fast to help, ".. I have an idea but don't get mad and trust me, I'm gonna make sure that kid comes out safely."

She nodded her head willing to do anything to stop the pain and have her baby. Joker dragged her up to the building where the bat signal was located and brought her up to the roof. He shined the bat symbol up to the sky and waiting there for Batman to show up.

About five minutes later Batman showed up, "Joker? Harley Quinn? What's wrong, is it the baby?" He was concerned.

"She going into labor now and I'm not sure how close that thing is to popping out. We're too far from the hospital and she needs help now." Joker explained.

Batman nodded his head understanding how serious the situation was and picked Harley up bridal style, "I'll drive her to the batcave, Alfred has enough medical training to be able to get her through this, I have all the medical equipment doctors have in case of anything severe happening."

"Thank you Batsy"

Batman put Harley in the back strapping her in carefully and making sure she controlled her breathing. Joker got in the passenger side of the batmobile as always and Batman got in driving them quickly toward the batcave. Once they arrived Batman called Alfred down to the batcave.

Alfred came down quickly to see the emergency, "What seems to be the problem sir?"

"Al, help her,she's going into labor and needs assistance."

Alfred nodded his head and quickly pulled out a bed for her to lay back on and set up all the equipment and watching her heart rate. He wanted to give her an epidural but she was too far into labor now it would be dangerous for the baby. She kept screaming in pain, as Alfred did everything a doctor would do Batman and Joker stood back watching.

"So are you excited to see whether you have a son or a daughter?" Batman asked him.

"It doesn't really matter to me, either way I'm stuck with that bitch for the next 18 years..." Joker replied.
