In the weeks and months that followed Falcone's fall Althea pieced out his territory. She handed Johnny Jr and Lucy the Falcone estate along with being in charge of guns and drugs. She put her parents in charge of day to days with her men. Training the raggedy group of idiots Althea hired seemed to make Jason happy. Harley seemed happy in simply bossing them around like she used to.

Althea stood at the top making final decisions and running her club. She still caused her chaos and destruction.

"You look absolutely beautiful darling."

Jeremiah spoke as Althea slipped out of J.J's room with the child on her hip and dressed in fuzzy pink slippers, a plain tank top and Batman pajama pants.

"Yeah, this outfit just screams sexy crime lord."

Althea rolled her eyes as she sat her son in his pack and play.

"I'll get your sippy."

J.J's eyes followed his mother with a glint of annoyance that could only come from her.

"Ma ma now!"

Althea glared at the small child as she shuffled to the kitchen,

"Watch yourself little boy, I'll send you to Uncle Jester's house."

Jeremiah grinned as he watched his girl pour milk into a sippy cup and hand it to her son.

"You are beautiful when you're at home and yourself. The sexy crime lord look is hot and all but a baby on your hip and messy hair? Damn hey girl hey!"

Althea cackled as she flopped on the couch next to him,

"Yeah? So you're attracted to bums?"

Jeremiah kissed the woman next to him with a laugh,

"You couldn't look like a bum if you were wearing newspapers. You'd still shine like a queen. I've been thinking about something by the way..."

Althea was watching J.J violently kick the side of his wire framed pack and play.

"Yes?"

Jeremiah pulled out a small box from his pocket and dropped onto one knee in front of her,

"I've been thinking you're already my queen and I think you should be my wife as well. I want to marry you both. Let me adopt J.J? We can be a family. You blow up Gotham and Bruce Wayne will pay me to rebuild it!"

Althea stared at the gorgeous ring, it was a simple white gold band with a princess cut purple diamond. She looked at her boyfriend's hopefully face and smiled,

"Both of us huh? You know we're a handful right?"

Jeremiah grinned and kissed her hand,

"You have no idea how much of a handful and I love every minute of it!"

Althea smile grew,

"Oh what the hell, why not? I don't think I'm gonna do any better Hahaha hahaha!"

Jeremiah laughed with her and slipped the ring on her finger,

"I love you!"

Althea kissed the red head as he moved to sit back next to her,

"I love you too! We should celebrate tonight!! Wanna blow up Wayne Enterprises?"

Jeremiah laughed,

"Or we could get some Champagne and invite your family and announce it?"

Althea frowned but brightened up with a hopeful look,
