"Can't you see?!-" I jolted awake, rubbing my eyes. Someone was shouting, no, two people. The Joker and...God I was too tired. What was happening? I slid out of bed, glancing over at the clock on the bedside table. 3:27am. Too early for me. We had gotten home at around 1 in the morning, and I had gone straight to bed, too tired to keep my eyes open. My bloodstained clothes (there had been a lot of them lately) were already in the wash with a whole lot of detergent and some other special stuff which was supposed to take away the stains. I was wearing some white silk pyjamas which made me feel fancy, even now when my bleached hair was messy and falling down from my bun and my eyes were half shut and blinking twice as much as they should. I stopped, listening. There was some inaudible shouting between the Joker and...and Frost. That was it. I had never heard Frost shout before. Not like this, and certainly not to the Joker. The day just kept getting weirder.

I padded softly across the carpet in the dark and to the door, opening it just a tiny bit. The lounge was empty. I stepped out and wrapped my arms around me, instantly feeling the cold. 

"-Tell me one valid point-" My breath caught. The Joker sounded like he was closing in on a kill. Normally he was calm, but right now? Right now he was insane and shouting. 

"She isn't worth-" I flinched. Me? Were they talking about me? Enough. I stalked across the lounge. The voices were coming from his study, on the opposite side. I could hear them clearer now and could just make out what they were saying.

 "Shut up. Shut the fuck up I need to think. We're too loud, we'll wake her up."

"I gave her a sedative, she won't wake up-" My hand flew to my neck, instinctively. There was a small sensitive spot right on the back. Son of a bitch. What was so important that I had to be sedated so they could talk?

"It isn't worth it, Joker. She..she isn't worth it. It will mess everything up, your whole, your whole damn career!"

"But it's not just her! It's, you know, as well. Don't start about my career you know that it's important to me, it's my life-"

"You don't see! It won't be your life when this happens. It will be your life. Can't you see that? It's so fucking clear, Joker. And everyone will have something to use against you. That too. It won't even be a good life for-"

"I know. I know that." The Jokers voice had gone quiet now. I bent closer to the door and looked through the keyhole. J was pacing around the room, wringing his hands and mumbling something under his breath. Frost was standing on the other side of the room, running his hands through his hair. 

"Just give her the pill. Tell her to abort it. Does she even know she's pregnant?"

My eyes blurred. They were talking but I couldn't hear anything anymore. The blood was rushing to my head, and I backed away from the door, clamping a hand to my mouth.

I was pregnant.
