He Lived For Her~ A Joker Story

Chapter 39- Pills And Passion

-HARLEENS POV-

I opened my eyes, and the early morning sunlight drifted upon my face.
I looked to my side, and Bruce was peacefully sleeping.
I got up carefully, trying not to wake him, and made my way to the bathroom.

"I forgot to take my makeup off last night" I sighed to myself.
I splashed some water on my face, then applied a cleanser.

As I rubbed my face in small circles...my mysterious tattoos appeared.
I leant forward toward the mirror and examined them more- Bruce has always told me to cover them up.

"Rotten" I said to my self as I peered down at my jawline
I furrowed my brows as I saw the little heart just above it.

I had other tattoos on my body, not just these.
I had a skull with a jesters hat on my back, and a red checkered thing on my wrist.

I couldn't remember getting them at all!
Was it the medication Bruce was giving me making me forget?

I took the pills out of the cupboard and took one out of the little tub.

I held it up to the light, and inspected it.
What was I really putting in my body?
Also, why was Bruce sending me to therapy every week..?

"Is there something wrong with me?" I said to myself

I put the pill on my tongue, and closed my mouth.
I got ready to swallow it...but I quickly spat it out.

I grabbed the pills and poured them down the toilet and watched them twirl around as it flushed.

"Let's see what those pills were really doing to me" I sighed, planning on not taking them again.

I left the bathroom and walked in on Bruce just waking up.

"Morning hunny" he yawned

"Morning" I replied with a weak smile

"When did you wake up?" Bruce asked as he sat up

"About 5 minutes ago"

He nodded.
"Have you taken your pills darling?"

I looked over at him and smiled
"Yes" I lied

-IVYS POV-

I woke up next to Joker again.
I sighed as I remembered what we did last night.
More 'make up sex'.
I shifted, but hissed in pain as I could feel the belt lashes and bite marks on my body.

I looked and he stirred in his sleep, but his eyes stayed shut.

I got up carefully, and left the room to go to the bathroom.
On the way there, I felt little pains in my stomach, but I didn't mind them at this point.

Once in the bathroom, I turned the bath on and slipped my top off.
I looked in the mirror and saw that my breasts had gotten larger.
"Great" I thought

My doctor had said this would happen, due to the pregnancy.

I didn't like keeping the secret from Joker, but because he was so unpredictable I couldn't risk the life of my baby.
