His Queen

Chapter 8

Ecco's P.O.V

I walk in without Ariel. "Where is she?" 

"She fell asleep in the car." He sighs and goes to the car to get her. He picks her up and takes her to and carry to one of the bedrooms. She shifts slightly as he sets her on the bed. "Sir, she...." I begin. 

"What." He impatiently snaps. 

"She- she's pregnant." He looks at me for a moment before turning his attention back to Ariel. 

"How long have you known?" 

"Since before you blew up James Gordon. She was afraid of how you would react." I inform him.  He walks out of the room and I follow behind him. 

"Ecco keep her safe well, I'm gone." I nod and watch him walk out.

Jeremiah's P.O.V

I was standing outside the G.C.P.D with Jerome's men now mine dressed in gray uniforms with guns. Detective Bullock walks out with half the G.C.P.D. "I have bombs planted all around the city. Just like the one that killed Jim Gordon." I claimed holding up the trigger. 

"Jeremiah, Jeremiah." The followers chanted. 

"All you need to know is if I hit this detonator, Gotham's blown back to the stone age." I explained.

"Yeah and if I pull this trigger your brains will be blown through the back of your skull." 

"Dead man's switch, You're familiar. It's another little something I took from my brother. But mine is a little more complex. You shoot me, my thumb loosens and Boom, boom, boom." I explained walking towards the detective. "Now if you don't do what I say-"

"You're more sick than your brother." I started to chuckle.

"Don't compare me to that shortsighted psychopath. He destroyed thing, Me I'm a builder. But I need a-"

"Where is Ariel Galavan." I glare at him.

"She is none of your concern Detective. Now I'm giving you six hours to evacuate the city." 

Harvey's P.O.V

"Holy mother of god Bruce Wayne." I said as I turn away from the mayor and Harper. I walked down the stairs to talk to the boy. "Bruce are you ok?"

"I'm fine. But what about Jim? Is what I heard true is he dead?"

"As far a I'm concerned Jim Gordon is alive, kicking, and waiting for us to find him." I tell him trying to convince us both.

"Stop lying to me detective."

"Could you help me? Did you see Jim? How'd you get out of the bunker?"

"Jeremiah and I had already left the bunker. Jerome sprayed him with a gas that caused him to go insane." He explained and I groan.

"I am so sick of that family. Did you hear about the Gotham clock tower. This guy's got massive explosives-

"It's my fault." he interrupted. 

Ariel's P.O.V

I wake up in a bed like the one in the bunker. I sit up and look around confused before remembering that Jeremiah told me he had multiple houses. Ecco comes in with some food. "Where's Jeremiah?"

"He's out. He'll be back soon though." She says with a small smile. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel fine. What about Jeremiah, how is he holding up?" She looks at me with sadness in her eyes. "What?"

"He wants to talk to you himself." Just then Jeremiah walks in.

"Ecco leave us." She nods and quickly leaves the room.

"Jer I - I'm pregnant. I tried to tell you earlier but you and Bruce had left the bunker." I look down, not wanting to look at him. He sits down next to me. 

"Look at me, love." I turn to look at him. "I couldn't be happier to be a father love." 

"Ecco said you wanted to talk to me. Is everything alright?"
