Rewritten- a Fox Gotham fanfiction

Tragic event , tragic past

~ Kristen Kringle's POV~

Edward and I are walking hand in hand through the streets of Gotham one evening, it's chilly but still summer , perfect for leggings , tank top with a cardigan and flats in my opinion " beautiful evening " I say to Edward, he smiles at me " not as beautiful as you " he replies , bending down slightly to kiss my cheek from my 5"5 inches off his 6" foot height " oh ed..... you're too sweet " I say nuzzling my head on his left shoulder " not as sweet as you darling." Edward says again even more sweeter than before " stop it ! Your spoiling me !" I say with a smile " no. I won't stop. I want nothing more than to spoil you ." He replies putting his arm around my waist, we turn the corner and I freeze.

~ flashback ~

I was sitting at the table , Tom Dougherty across from me " Kristen, I hope you don't mind I was late ." He says , I smile although I really am mad that he was late " it's okay " I say as he puts a hand on my wrist , I go to pull away but he won't let go instead he tightens his grip . Later on that night I'm at home , I'm getting in bed when I realize that my wrist is bruised....... no surprise there, knowing tom .

" t-tom D-Dougherty ?" I stamper quietly , Edward looks at me " what ? He's dead ." Edward says rubbing my back , I point ahead of me , he follows my finger , there's a man who looks exactly like Dougherty , with a woman who has long , super long brown almost black hair who has on all grey " Kristen, that's not Dougherty ......... that's my parents " Edward says with a hint of fear in his voice, I look at him , he looks absolutely terrified.

~ Edward Nygma's POV ~

I felt the fear starting to rise at the sight of them - Jonathan Nigma and Katrina Nygma - although my dad changed the ' y ' in ' Nygma ' to an ' I ' to be different from the rest of the family.

~flashback~

I was standing behind my parents in the mall when I was a child , they didn't like people to see me but when I was out with them and they saw me they were forced to make me say hi " is that your little boy ?" My moms friend asked , my mom forcefully smiled and said " yes , this is our son Edward " she said trying to hide her disgusted tone . When we got home my mom told me to go switch the wash over , I argued but still did it , on my way down the basement stairs my dad kicked me down them, I slid on the cement floor- hard - " you are a DISGRACE to this family Boy !" He shouted , kicking me as he did so , I kept grunting in pain " I wish you were never born ! Your useless! Stupid! Annoying! Awful!" He said , kicking me till I bleed.

~ end of flashback ~

Kristen's shaking my arm " ed!!" She asks/shouts , I snap out of it only to realize that I'm shaking I stop as soon as they see me and Kristen, I tightened my grip on Kristen's waist as a form of protection knowing what they can do " mother. Father." I say coldly , Kristen looks slightly scared at my sudden tenseness , I push her behind me only a few steps back behind me , she doesn't move or ask questions from where I put her " Edward." They say just as coldly in unison " whose this pretty lady with you ?" My mom asks with a smile at Kristen " my girlfriend." I state stepping in front of Kristen " Kristen Kringle." I add shortly , my mom nods " can I talk to you for a moment ed ? " my dad asks putting on an act of kindness " yes , I'll be Over in a moment." I say as my dad walks away, a few feet away from me and Kristen and my mom , I turn to Kristen " if she hits you or threatens your or something tell me. " I say quietly , she nods as I walk over to my dad. " can I help you with something.......father ?" I asks coldly , he laughs in a mockery tone " no ......... just wanted to say I'm sorry " he says , my brows furrow " to late for that father. You've turned me into the psycho that I am today , split personalitys come from traumatic experiences most commonly....... you created those experiences by kicking me down the cement stairs in the basement and kicking me till I bleed all those years !" I refrain from yelling " and that's only one of the billion things you did to me ." I add , he laughs " you deserved it then ..... just like now. " he says , giving me a hard punch in the face , my glasses fall on the ground ( luckily I can see somewhat without them ) , I pick them up and place them on , still holding my cheek where it's stinging from the punch " I don't see how a woman like Miss . Kringle could ever love a idiot like you ." He says walking away from me , Kristen runs over to me , I put a hand on her shoulder , I go to speak but she won't let me before she kisses me - passionately- " don't listen to him Eddie . I love you for who you are. And you are in no way shape or form an idiot. You may be somewhat creepy or odd at some times but you are the smartest man I've ever loved , and always will " she says , looking me dead in the eyes as she speaks , I wrap my arms around her " your too kind Kristen. Just my type of woman." I say kissing her softly .

~ short Kristen Kringle POV ~

I wrap my arms around his neck , he doesn't deserve to be discriminated by his own parents especially that father of his who looks an awful lot like Tom Dougherty , it disgusts me knowing how his childhood was , he's never told me about it but this experience is enough to tell me all I need to know , I pull away from the kiss , not letting go of him though, his parents have a completely disgusted look on their faces , I take Edward by the hand and lead him back the way we came before I did something I'd regret.
