Beautifully Twisted - {A Jerome/Gotham Story}

City Gone Mad

These past 6 months really have been filled with craziness and chaos if I'm being completely honest here. And the scariest part, is finding out I'm holding another human life inside of me. With Jerome and I being the way we are, do we really want to subject a innocent child to our doings?

I really don't. But I won't give up on this baby. I'm not going to be like my mother was with me and lie to this baby my entire life. I can't ever be like her. Ever....

And Jerome? Well he's actually pretty excited for this new venture it would seem. I'm only 2 months pregnant. But he's acting as if this baby is coming right now. And it's hilarious. He actually freaks out when I grab one of my usual knives from our weapons room we just recently created in a spare room in this place.

He took it from me the last time and flung it at the wall so hard that part of the wall fell out and made a noise so loud that the baby actually kicked my stomach. Which wasn't pleasant. And the fact that this baby seems to be growing so fast at such a very early stage is beyond me.

I've been questioning it so hard actually. Even Jerome is wondering what could be causing that. He's actually been thinking of something happening in Arkham at that crazy Indian Hill place that's caused the baby to react so strangely. Hint the word strange.

And since Jerome has what you call, super venom in his veins, his words not mine, it could have an effect on this little bean of ours. But even if the baby comes out as some super powerful being, it's still my child and I will protect him or her till the day I die.

Now on to other things currently happening in my ventures in Gotham City, AKA, Mad City as its been called lately by Harvey himself. The poor guy has been going bonkers because Barnes is back, much to my dislike.

The guy just isn't meant for the GCPD. If I had it my way, Jim would be head honcho there. But of course, he doesn't want to go back. He's become a bounty hunter. And of course he's good at it, considering he is Jim kick ass Gordon. And with these 'monsters' on the loose, Gotham needs his help.

He's the true hero of Gotham honestly. And sadly, he didn't have any luck with Lee. Of course I didn't pressure him for details because I know it's been really rough on poor Jimbo. But Lee and I actually still talk believe it or not. I don't tell Jim though because I promised her I wouldn't.

She does still love him very much. She always tells me that. But she couldn't just sit around all alone somewhere and go completely mad. She moved on like any normal person would. And I understood that. But it doesn't make it any easier. Now on to the next important person in my life.

Oswald. He's on the war field looking for Fish and her team of crazed people out on the streets. He wants her dead or alive, he honestly doesn't care.

He just wants her gone again, like I do. I never really could stand that woman. Then again I really don't know her that well. Just from the things I learned through Oswald. And let me tell you, that didn't leave any good feelings in me for her. She was evil to him. And he just wants her dead.

Again. And hopefully this time, she'll actually die. But in the present time, I'm actually back at Arkham. And no, not as a patient. Crazy right? It feels really weird being back here. But I can manage, thankfully having Oswald with me.

And Edward. Now I know things between Ed and I went south when we were trying to save Bruce and Lucius from his crazed puzzle. But Ed is still family to me. We're one crazy, psycho, killing, loving family. And I don't really want that to change.

"Ed, it's really, really good to see you again. I am sorry..." He softly held is hand up, indicating he had something to say, when a little smile came to his lips, making me feel loads better about all this.
