Cruel Love (Gotham/Oswald CobblepotFanFic)

Mr&Mrs Cobblepot's Vow: 83- Jim Gordon

(My version of season 5 probably won't do along with it ...but just a little..)

Time flies. And that was the truth.

Its like as Barbara's stomach got bigger so did Draven. He got a littke bigger with every passing moment, and It broke my heart to watch.

But, what really broke me was when Oswald made a goofy face and tickled Draven's stomach, he laughed for the first time ever. The scene made my heart break. And only for one reason.

Draven was becoming more close to Oswald.

Oswald smiled when he looked over at me "Are you alright, Ness?" he asked as he held Draven in his arms, I crossed mine and smiled at him.

"Never better. I love the sight of my big boy playing with my little boy. Just don't drop him.."

Oswald smiled as well walked to overlook the gangs in the room "I dont plan on it, my love" he said and looked down at Draven "Doesn't it just make you happy? To be together again?"

It was true. It did make me happy as much as it made me sad, but I guess it is for the best seeing as Oswald is leaving Gotham with Draven and I am staying behind. Sometimes I wonder if I should go with them ...but then I think.

Do I want to put Draven in that kind of danger?

My thoughts were interrupted by Barbara. She burst into the room and looked like she was on a war rampage, Oswald handed me Draven and I looked down at him as he tried to nibble on my finger.

"Oswald, where the hell is Nygma? Shouldn't we have left the city already?" She asked as she approached us. Oswald turned and looked at her.

"Ms. Kean, this may come as a surprise, but building a submarine from scratch by yourself takes time. Patience."

She rolled her eyes "Easy for you to say. You're not a walking egg timer. Tell him to get a move on" she stopped and looked out at the crowd that was gathered "And why, exactly, are you hosting Gordon's gangland get-together?"

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, my dear. If we're really going to leave Gotham, we need to keep Gordon happy. You know all about that, don't you?" Oswald said.

Barbara looked pissed. "It was a momentary slip. The world was on fire" she said and looked at Oswald "And Im happy your child didnt get the pointy nose."

Before Oswald could say anything Jim, Harvey and GCPD came into the room and Oswald smiled "Jim, it's your show. Mi casa, su casa" he said and rested his hands on the rail.

"I'll make this short. Gotham is running dry. Our supply of clean water will only last a few more months. So you have a choice. You can keep killing each other, fighting over what little water is left, maybe eke out a few more months, then die" James spoke out to the crowd after standing on the steps, he looked out at them all " Or we can all agree right now to an immediate cease-fire. The government will not annex a war zone. If we can show them that we deserve to rejoin the mainland, supply chain will be restored and we will all survive until reunification. That's the choice. Life or death. Your call."

I watched as the gangs started yelling and I gripped onto Draven with a tight hoodie, Barbara looked over and seen the move. She looked up and met my eyes before smiling a small one at me.

Suddenly, a shot rang through the air. Harvey yelled "Weapons down! Get back!" He looked out at the crowd "Jim, you see where the shooter was? Jim."

We all looked at Gordon. The bullet had hit him. My eyes widened at the sight as Harvey started taking action "Get back!"

I think Barbara and Oswald both were just as shocked as I was. Looking at the sight of Gordon bloody and laying on the floor made me queasy.

"Get back!" was yelled again as the GCPD tried to get Gordon somewhere safe.

Draven started crying and I looked down at him shushing him. Oswald rolled his eyes and sighed "We had just gottwn him calmed down too" he said and shook his head as he walked down the steps.

I held up Draven and started trying to calm him down. I hope Oswald knows he will have to deal with this one his own outside of Gotham when leaves.

--------

The most ahocking part about Gordon ...last year it couod have been me that killed him. If I had went along with Jerome Valeska's insane plan and shot Gordon...

Or if I wouod have said yes to Walker instead of no. Gordon would have died by my hand and Blue wouod be alive.

Isn't it funny how things work?

I held Draven in a chair as Oswald looked down at a puddle of blood on the floor and looked up at me and Barbara. "Jim Gordon's blood on my floor" he said simply and yelled suddenly "Olga!" making Draven make a noise, I shushed him as Oswald rolled his eyes "Why is the help never around when you need them?"

He looked at Barbara " This could be good for us. You especially" he said and Barbara raised a eyebrow at him.

"Are you serious?"

Oswald chuckled "Your baby daddy is the top cop in Gotham. A dead Jim Gordon is the only way you can hold on to your little bundle of joy" he said.

The doors busted open and Harvey came in, I looked up from Draven "Harvey, how is our dear-" Oswald stopped because Harvey pushed grabbed him.

" Who the hell did it?! If I find out it was you, I swear to God-"

" It wasn't me! I merely supplied the venue! At your boss's request! That doesn't mean squat! Fine. You want to know who's to blame? James Gordon! He invited every criminal in Gotham! What did he think was gonna happen?" Oswald said.

Then to my surprise ...Harvey hit Oswald and he landed on his ass on the steps, Draven started making nooses meaning he was upset.

"Harvey!" I yelled angrily.

He turned on Barbara "How about you, huh? When did you two become so buddy-buddy? Maybe when you hatched up a plan so you could keep that baby for yourself" he said.

" Harvey, whatever you think of me, I did not plot to kill my child's father."

" Well, someone here did!" he shouted and looked at me "You have been asked to kill Jim before. And you are one of thw beat ahots in Gotham."

"And I have a kid. Im not about to risk that, Bullock" I hissed as I bounced Draven "I did not shoot anyone."

" Someone in this room shot Jim Gordon, and I'm not leaving till I find out who it was!"

"Wrong!" Oswald yelled holding his cheek" The shooter was not here! Look at the window, stupid!" he pointed to the window "The shot came from outside. If the shooter was there and the trajectory was here Jim was then the bullet."

Harvey stared for a moment "Uh-huh. I'm gonna find out who this was, and when I do, there's gonna be hell to pay" Harvey said preparing to leave.

I sighed and srood up "Bullock, wait" I said and handed Draven off to Oswald "Im coming with you."

He looked confused "Why?" he asked and I shrugged.

"Because I want to. Dont question me, you hit my husband and made my baby boy cranky."

He rolled his eyes at me "There never was any arguing with you anyway.."

"Harvey. Is there anything I can do?" Barbara asked. He looked at her and nodded.

"Yeah. You can keep the gangs from tearing the city apart."

Then, he walked out the door. I grabbed a couple of guns off the desk of Oswald's, he looked at me and before he could say anything or even kiss me I was out the door.
