Cruel Love (Gotham/Oswald CobblepotFanFic)

Cobblepot's Enemy: 66- Jerome's Moron's

It was weird to be standing in a houae looking out a window instead of being in Arkham looking out a barrel window. I thought I was going to be trapped in there forever.

I laid a hand on my stomach as I looked out at the outside world. Cobblepot Manor hasn't changed much since the past time I had been in it, I was dressed in a dark purple dress, the skirt was black, the long sleeves of the dress reached my wrist and went around my thumb. I fixed the collar of my jacket as I glanced down at my black ankle boots.

"Never have I seen anything -or anyone- more beautiful than you in that dress."

I didn't turn around to look at him as I stared at the outside world "Sometimes I wonder if I hadnt of been a Maroni ...you know, been a normal girl" I said as he walked up beside me and looked at me "I wonder if things had of been different."

"For us?"

"For everything."

I often wonder that. Would we of been a normal couple? Living in Metropolis? Central City? Not trying to kill the other one every second if the day?

He took my hand in his and smiled "I love us the way we are. Baby in you belly, Gotham loving, Arkham Inmates, and all."

I looked up at him as he lifted our hands up to his mouth and kissed my hand, I stared at him before standing up on tip toe and giving a small peck to his nose. He gave a grin a grin and patted my stomach before wrapping my arm through his.

Together we walked down to the dining room where Jerome and his morons sat together at the table, Oswald pulled a chaie out for me by his side and I sat down. He sat beside me and Jerome tapped a spoon to a glass with a smile.

"Hear ye, hear ye. I'd like to officially welcome you all to our first ever mandatory brunch meeting. Now, I know what you're all thinking. Why have I gathered this legion of Horribles? That has a nice ring to it" Jerome said and looked to a waiter dude "Write that down, will ya? Hmm."

I looked around at Scarecrow and noticed two other Jerome had mentioned, Firefly and a Victor Fries "Well, back when I was in Arkham, I came up with a plan to turn this city into a madhouse. And now I am on the cusp of making that happen. But I need help from all of Put all questions on ice until the end. Mr. Oswald. Thank you for doing your part in hosting us today."

Oswald smiled what I could tell had to be anything but a happy smile, I had to keep from rolling my eyes at him "Anything for an old friend" he said and looked at me with a See I can be polite look. I grunted and crossed my arms.

"Crane, where are we at with the "you know what"?" Jerome asked Scarecrow.

"It's coming along, dreadfully."

" Oh, pun worthy. Excellent. Freeze. Ice Man, you're a science guy. We're gonna need a lab, a big one. Easy enough. Hmm. Now, all we need is Mr. Tetch to return with some very important information and-Use the tongs, Carl!" Jerome yelled at the waiter dude, I bit my lip to keep from laughing.

"You still haven't told us how you're going to take over the underworld."

"Who says I want to do that? I'm an artist. I just want to paint the town crazy. Once that happens, I could care less how you Horribles rip the city apart" Jerome said and looked at MW with a smile. I just stared at him, I still couldn't figure him out. Ans it drove me crazy.

" I'm in."

"Let's do this."

"Huh? No. Not yet. Nothing can happen until we have our one last essential ingredient." The door opened and Jervis came in, Jerome smiled "The one thing that'll tie it all together."

Somehow ...it made me scared...

I stood in Oswald's Bedroom looking at the dresser mirror at my stomach, I had gotten bigger but not as big as I was going to get. I ran a hand over my small but growing stomach as Oz hobbled into the room and stopped watching what I was doing.

"Its amazing to watch you do that." He leaned on his cane as he watxhed me, I turned my back to the mirror and looked at him, he was smiling at me "To think Falcone and Maroni are watching down on us ...possibly wanting to stangle me ..and take care of you" he said shqking his head as he hobbled towards me "It is amazing."

"Don't say it like that ...it just means they were watching us while we were ...you know" I said and rolled my eyes making him chuckle as he wrapped a arm around me "Its more weird than amazing."

He shrugged and placed a kiss to the top of my head "Hard to believe that the girl who once worked for Don Falcone and Don Maroni. Is here in my arms, carrying my child, and is the same girl that returned a ring" he said and sighed as he looked down at me, his hand went down my dress top and picked up the ring he had given me so many years ago that sat on a chain he had given me at the asylum, he lifted it from up under my top and ran his fingers over it "and is a spy turned into a pregnant woman."

He let the chain drop against my chest.

I gulped "Very hard to believe. I Myself would have never of believed it" I said as I pulled away from him and walked towards the window, I looked down at the front entrance of Cobblepot Manor and sighed.

"What's wrong, Nessita? Is it because you are pregnant?"

I shook my head as I sat in a chair near the window "No, Oswald" I said and closed my eyes "I have no home. I'm a escapee from Arkham. My best friend framed me for murder. I don't even know what we are. And ..I don't want to be a spy/assassin anymore" I opened my eyes and looked at him "I don't want to be anything."

He straightened up and walked towards me, he put his hand on my shoulder and looked down at me with fierce eyes "You have a home with me. You are not a escapee from Arkham. Victor was never your friend. We are whatever you want US to be because I have always Loved you Nessita Michaels or Maroni or whoever you wish to be. And as for not wanting to be anything, I will always support your wishes" he said and looked down at me with the most odd/fierce/lovely look I have ever seen.

"I will always love you no matter what. I have since day one. You are the world to me, I am lost without you. And I do not trust Jerome Valeska around you, how he was looking at you down there it was like he could tackle you at any moment so I will be with you at every moment" he said in a matter of fact tone.

I just looked at him. Then laughed.

He gave me a confused look "What?"

"Oswald Cobblepot, are you jealous?"

He hesitated for a moment "No?" it aounded more like a question then a statement. I took his hand from my shoulder and held it between both of my hands.

"Oswald. You have no reason to be jealous of anyone. Not just anyone coupd kiss me and keep what's in theier pants" I told him, he gave me a half a smile, I stared up at him and a warm feeling came over me.

I dont know what it was. Love. Stupidness. Being pregnant. Or just the moment.

But the next words out of my mouth even took my me by surprise.

"Oswald Cobblepot, let's get married."

He just stared at me in surprise and said "Right Now?"
