Chereads / The Moment (Harley Quinn FanFic) / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

6 months later

"Wow. I can't believe I'm getting married and finally settling down." Harley says looking herself over in the mirror.

"Why can't you believe it?" Misty asks while trying to keep her son from crying.

"Because before here I thought my ex was my world and now I know he wasn't anything that I thought back then," Harley says smiling at how cute he is. "I'm glad we're having a small, traditional wedding and nothing big. Unlike your wedding." She jokes.

"Hey, Ash loved the idea of a big wedding, thank you very much." Misty jokes back. "So, have you found out what it is yet?" she asks

"Yeah, it's a girl." Harley says

"Awe, how precious." Misty squeals.

"I know. I can't wait until I have her."

"Awe, they are almost the same age, they can be playmates, we can let them have sleepovers, can enroll them in school at the same time and they can be the best of friends."

"That is so true!" Harley squeals as they get more into the baby discussion and forget about the wedding going on.

5 minutes later outside

"Um is there something wrong with one of our girls?" Ash asks leaning over slightly to whisper into Polaris's ear.

He leans back to answer. "I don't know. Maybe something is wrong with one of the dresses. Girls do have to have these things "Perfect"."

"Pikachu, go check on the ladies and see what the holdup is will you?" Ash asks his best friend.

"Pika." He says hoping off Ash's shoulder and scurries off to find Misty and Harley.

Polaris picks up a microphone and informs his guest of the situation. "We are having some difficulties with the dress so please be patient and hopefully we won't have any further problems."

"Coming!"Harley yells as a Bump, bump comes from the door.

"Pikachu? What are you doing here? You should be with Ash and Ash with Polaris getting ready." Misty says when Harley answers the door and they are surprised to see Pikachu in a small tux custom-made so he would be comfy in it.

"Pi pika piki pika pik pi pik chu." He tells them.

"Oh shit." Both of them say simultaneously as they see check the time and see they are 7 minutes late.

Harley quickly texts Polaris that they are on their way and he gives the thumbs up for the music to start and the wedding to begin.

"We are gathered here today to join together Polaris Givermen and Harleen Quinzel in Holy Matrimony. The couples have made their own vows." The Priest begins once Harley stops in front of Polaris. "Do you, Polaris take Harleen, to be your lawfully wedding wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"

"I do." Polaris says.

"Do you, Harleen take Polaris, to be your lawfully wedding wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"

"I do." Harley says.

"Polaris please place your ring onto Harleen's finger and repeat the following: I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love." The priest says as Polaris receives the ring from Ash and puts it on Harleen's finger and he repeats it then Harley does the same.

"Is there anybody here today that doesn't think these two should be wed in holy matrimony? If so speak now or forever hold your peace." And after a few seconds he then declares; "By virtue of the authority vested in me under the laws of the Region of Kanto, I now pronounce you husband and wife." "You may kiss the bride."

Polaris lifts her veil and she wraps her arms around his neck and he puts his hands on her waist and they kiss sealing their vows officially making them husband and wife as the audience begins clapping.

After the dance and other main wedding events

"So where did you put Agron?" Ash asks Misty.

"I left him at the Daycare center." Misty says sitting in his lap facing him.

"Nice." He says pulling her closer to him and kissing her and she kisses him back with equal passion.

"You know you look stunning in that bridesmaid dress." He says breaking the kiss, he chuckles when she blushes. "Why are you blushing?"

"I don't know. We've been together for years and you still make me feel amazing and can still make me blush." She says.

"Yeah. It sucks we were too childish to tell Brock that we were dating after Nurse Joy told us about that we must have cared a lot about each other since we fought a lot." Ash says rubbing her back as they think about their relationship and how it started. "Oh, and it's been 8 years and 14 days."

"You remembered down to the day?" She asks not believing he remembered the day he asked her to be his girlfriend better than her.

"Mm hm. I put the date I asked you out into Dexter so I would never forget the day I got the best woman as mine." He tells her.

"Awe. That was sweet of you. I thought you would have been too dense to have done something like that." She jokes.

"I would have been. But I decided to do that so whenever I was arguing with you and when we were first starting going out would at least I would remember that."

"Awe, petty, but sweet nonetheless." Is all she can think of, but she didn't think any more words were needed because he kissed her again.

"Hey, guys. I need you to cut the wedding short for me." Polaris says rather urgently.

"Sure man. Why though?" Ash asks breaking their kiss.

"Harley's water broke. She's in the truck waiting on me. Can you tell the guest and all that's the reason it's ended so early?" He asks.

"Yeah." Ash/Misty both say at the same time getting up.

"Thanks, guys. I'll text you the hospital room number when we get there." He says before running out.

At the Hospital

"Is she going to be O.K Dr." Polaris asks.

"She will be fine. She has just gone into labor which means you will be a father soon. She's getting prepped as we speak." He says.

"That's a relief."

Hmmm, hmmm.

"Excuse me for a minute will you Doc.?" Polaris says when his phone vibrates.

"All the guests understand and wish you and Harley the best of luck as parents. We are on our way to the hospital, Ash is driving so it's me, Misty who is texting."

"I knew I could count on them."

"Thanks, guys. I owe you guys one. I'll meet you in the lobby."

"You don't owe us. We were more than happy to help you out." "Oh and don't wait on us. Your wife needs you to be with her. It's going to be one of the best moments of your life.

"O.K then talk to you in a while. Thanks again."

"No problem"

"O.K Doc. I'm done." Polaris says putting his phone up.

"Alright then. You ready to see your wife now?" He asks.

"Yes."

"Right this way." The doctor says leading him down a hallway.

"Right through that door." He says when they get to Harley's room.

"Thanks." Polaris says.

"You finally came." Harley says when he walks in.

"Of course, I came. You didn't think I would miss the birth of our child did you?" He asks.

"Of course not. Were the guests mad or anything?"

"Nope. Ash and Misty took care of it. The guests understood and wish us the best of luck as parents."

"That's good."

"You ready to have the baby?"

"Yes. I can't wait to hold her in my arms."

"You're going to be a great mother."

"You think so?"

"I know so." He says giving her a small peck.

(A/N I don't know the processes for pregnancies so I'm going to skip to the end to what I know from watching T.V.)

A few hours later

"I see the head… come on Harley push." the doctor says.

"You got this baby, almost there." Polaris says encouragingly to his wife his hand going numb from the grip she had on it.

"I know that." Harley growls at him.

"O.K Harley give one big push. O.K" the doctor says.

"AAAAAGGGGHH!" Harley cries giving what felt like her biggest push.

"Congratulations. It's a healthy baby girl." The doctor says cutting the umbilical cord.

"What is her name?" one of the nurses asks.

"What do you think of Naevia?" Polaris asks.

"I think her name will be… Naevia." Harley says tiredly after thinking the name over.

"We will return in a moment. We just need to take a couple prints, get the birth certificate, and a few other things." A nurse says.

"O.K." Harley says and realizes she is still gripping her husband's hand she softens her hold and they begin talking about their future.

"O.K we have done everything necessary we are making copies of your birth certificate for future necessities. Would you like to hold her?" The nurse from before asks.

"I would love to." Harley says carefully receiving her daughter from the nurse. "Awe, she's so cute."

"She is just like her mother." Polaris says giving her a soft kiss.

"Do you want to hold her?" Harley asks.

"She is so sweet," Polaris says gently rubbing her cheek.

Around 30 minutes or more

"I'm a father. I am actually a father and husband. I thought I wouldn't need either in my life and now I have both and I am thankful for them." Polaris thinks as he walks to tell Ash and Misty the news and he stops when he gets to the lobby and sees them laying on the seats in the same suits from the wedding and Ash holding Agron in his right arm while playing a game on his phone and Misty wrapped in his left and from his location it seemed his hand was in her dress and from closer inspection saw he was rubbing her back and she was sleeping or close to it. "The baby is here." He says happily.

"Really?" Ash asks.

"Yep. She is almost an hour old."

"That's amazing."

"Sure is. You guys want to come and see her?"

"Yeah. Hey Mist, Mist." He tells him before gently waking Misty. "Do you want to go and see Polaris and Harley's daughter?"

Misty lost her drowsiness when she heard Harley had given birth. "She's had her? That is so great let's go." She stops trying to get up when she remembers Ash's hand is in her dress and she hadn't given him time to remove it and zip her dress back up and she almost made him lose grip of Agron so she waits for him to zip her dress before hopping up and they follow Polaris to Harley's room.

The doctor was about to tell them that they couldn't take Agron into the room but Polaris convinced him it would be O.K and he reluctantly allowed to take him in with them.

"HARLEY!" Misty squeals. "How are you feeling?"

"Oh my God. So sore, and yet so happy." She says gently rocking Naevia.

"She's so precious." Misty says and she carefully receives her from Harley after she lets her hold her. "Ash look at how beautiful she is."

"She's adorable." He says giving Agron to Polaris because they wanted him to hold her and he didn't want to be rude.

A few minutes later some nurses come in and take her so they can run a few more tests and Harley reluctantly let them.

"Hey Ash, you should ask how long we should wait before being able to have sex again." Misty whispers.

"Why me?"

"Because you love me." She says giving him one of her sweetest smiles.

"Uh huh. And you love me enough to ask as well." He says back. "Besides I'm taking care of Agron. We wouldn't want him hearing me ask about that would we?"

"No fair using Agron as an excuse."

"I'm not using him as an excuse. You made me agree that we wouldn't allow him near such stuff did you not?"

"So? Have you not broken other stuff I made you agree to?"

"Yeah but this is my son. I can't break it."

"But it's been six months since I've I had your felt you inside me. 15 plus the pregnancy months and I know you miss being inside of me as much as I miss you in me." She says with a smirk having put him in a corner.

"You haven't had sex in a year?" Harley asks.

"No we haven't. We forgot how many months to wait so we just waited another month to be safe then we decided to wait another month and so on, plus we didn't want to risk Agron hearing us or we not hear him when he cries." Ash tells her.

"HE forgot." Misty says as if correcting him.

"If I forgot why do you want me to ask?"

"Touché'. I'll ask then." She says and then walks over to the nurse who was finished working on a report. "Excuse, but could you tell me how many months after pregnancy to wait before having sex again?"

"There is no required wait time per see. Most places recommend four weeks, but we always recommend, but everybody heals differently." she answers.

"Because me and my husband forgot how many months to wait before being able to have it and it's been six since I've had our son." She explains and the nurse nods in understanding.

"O.K. it's recommended you wait at least four weeks before having sex again." Misty says returning to them.

"Alright." Harley says. "I don't think I could wait as long as you two."

"Same here." Polaris says agreeing.

"You want to go in the restroom and make up for six months of missed sex?" Ash whispers to Misty.

"What about Agron?" She whispers back.

"Hey Polaris. Could you watch Agron for a couple minutes? Misty left some kind of woman thing in the car she wanted to give Harley and we're going to look for it." Ash asks.

"Yeah, I don't mind."

"Thanks man." Ash says and he and Misty leave the room.

"So, what do you think the "woman" thing is?" Polaris asks.

"I don't know. Probably her purse or you know something more sensitive."

"I don't want to have thought."

"You asked what I thought it could be."

"True." He says playing Agron.

"Are you happy to be a father?" Harley asks unexpectedly after a while.

"Yes. I'm more than happy. Are you happy to be a mother?" He asks.

"Of course I am. What kind of woman would have a child and not be happy?"

"Well then, why are you asking me?" He asks her.

"I don't know. Trying to keep up a conversation I guess."

"Oh. Do you want to play and hold Agron a bit? Until we get Naevia back."

"Sure. I love playing with Agron. Do you think Naevia will be as good as he is?"

"Probably not. She is a girl after all." He jokes.

"And what does that mean?" she jokes back.

"Everyone knows girls are hard to take care of. They have so many "needs"."

"And guys don't?"

"Nope. I got to go to the restroom back in a minute." He says before having his answer backfire.

"Uh-huh. I bet he has to go to the restroom. He knows he got himself into something he couldn't finish now didn't he." She says to Agron who goos in agreement.

"The restroom is out of order." Polaris says returning.

"Shame huh? I bet you really have to go too." She says.

"Uh… yeah." He says knowing he's been caught.

"Ahh, you hear that? Polaris has to go to and the restroom is out of order." She says playing with Agron who is gumming her finger and she is gently rocking him.

"It must be really messed up. There is a really loud rattling sound coming from it."

"Eww. I didn't want to know that."

"Well, you do now. Have you noticed it has been an hour going on two since Ash and Misty left to get whatever it was?"

"Really? Maybe they got locked out?" She says.

"Probably. But it wouldn't take long to get unlocked since Ash has the key."

"Maybe they got something to eat." Harley suggests and he nods in agreeance. He would do that and Ash did love food as well so the chance was extremely high.

"Speaking of food, you two hungry?" He asks her.

"Come to think about I'm starving. How about you Agron? Could you go for something to eat?" She asks and he only gahs his response. "What about you, are you hungry honey?"

"Kind of. I'm going to see what food they have. Anything special you may want me to get you?"

"Um… Pizza would be good, or a burger."

"Alright, so food for me, pizza or burger for you and a bottle of milk for the squirt," Polaris says before leaving to get some food.

"Well, it looks like just us now." Harley says to Agron. "You know mommy and I have yours and Naevia's future planning. We hoped you will be best of friends."

"Hey Harley. Sorry for taking so long. We got distracted. Was Agron good?" Ash says/asks as he and Misty walk in.

"Its fine you guys and yes he was a good baby. Did you get what you were… Gees what happened?" She says and after looking up sees how they look.

Ash's suit was very ruffled and wrinkled and had some tears in it, and Misty's dress was ripped on the right shoulder and was just as ruffled and wrinkled. They were also sweaty.

"Almost mugged/Pokémon attack." Ash and Misty say.

"We were almost mugged by a Pokémon gang. You see once abandoned Pokémon get together they make small "gangs" to make trouble for humans. You can google two of these gangs for Example. My favorite is Squirtle Squad, it was how I acquired my Squirtle. The second is Tyrogue and his friends Mankey and Primape." Ash explains seeing his and Misty's stories are still off.

"Yep. But we helped them see humans are different and not all are the same. We bought them food. We went to McDonalds and got them lots of food." Misty says.

"I remember hearing about Squirtle on Pokémon Planet. What kind of Pokémon was it that attacked you?" Harley asks.

"Snubbull/Granbull." They say at the same time.

"It was a Snubbull/Granbull mix." Ash explains again eyeing Misty since her plan that they would instantly have the same alibi since they loved each other that much having failed twice. "And we have lots of food leftover."

"Really? What do you have?" Harley asks.

"5 Cheeseburgers, 5 Hamburgers, 5 Chicken Wraps, 40 Chicken Nuggets and 4 large teas." Misty answers.

"Ah, and Polaris left to get food a little while ago." Harley says.

"I wouldn't eat that." Ash says. "Hospital food is stale and unfulfilling."

"That is true." Misty agrees handing her a tea. "So, what would you like?"

"Well by our math everyone should get 2 burgers, 1 wrap, 10 nuggets, and 1 tea." Ash says.

"Awesome." Harley says. "Hey Misty? What's that bit of white stuff on your cheek?"

"Must be some sauce." Misty says and quickly wipes it off

"This is the worst-looking pizza ever," Polaris says walking in. "Oh hey, guys. You got Mickey D's not fair man. You said you had a woman thing to get."

"We did. It turned out to be some baby stuff. Misty exaggerated. And while we were out decided to get us all some food." Ash explains.

"You two are the best." Polaris says as Ash hands him his share.

"Excuse me, you two. Could you help me with some heavy lifting?" A janitor asks a while later.

"Yes sir." Ash says and he and Polaris go to help.

"You had sex didn't you?" Harley asks.

"It was amazing." Misty says knowing they've been caught. "It was well worth the wait."

"So, that white stuff on your cheek was…"

"Yep. I thought I had got it all though. The same can't be said for the restroom though. We were going to clean but we were already over an hour late so we cleaned some and left for food as a valid excuse."

"We're back." Polaris says as he and Ash enter the room.

"What did you guys do?" Misty asks.

"We helped the janitor with this machine that cleans liquids and stains because there were liquids and stains in the restroom." Ash answers and Misty turns a shade of light red but she hides it by throwing away some trash and Harley swallows a giggle.

An hour later in the lobby.

"Finally he's asleep." Misty says putting Agron in his car seat.

"Yeah, You comfortable?" Ash asks when she lies on top of him.

"Yes, dear."

"Alright. It's a good thing we got food huh?"

"Yeah. Harley knew we were in the restroom and that your stupid moves caused all the "liquids" in there." She says.

"They weren't stupid when you wanted me to do them. I just wanted to take you on the sink." Ash says rubbing her back. (She has jeans and a T-Shirt now because of what happened to her dress.)

"Shut up. You love me so we are equal in blame." Misty says playfully.

"I guess we are then. Unless I don't love you anymore." He jokes.

Misty jokingly gasps at that. "Well, you won't get any more from me than."

"Never mind then. We equally messed up the restroom and you're still my wife I love to death." He says playfully.

"That's what I thought love." She says playfully and gives him a kiss.

"Good night baby." Ash says giving her another kiss.

"Good night honey." She says kissing him back.

Harley's room

"You know they say Naevia and I can leave tomorrow if everything checks out O.K.?" Harley says.

"That's great sweetie."

"I'm so glad. After we leave we can go shopping for baby stuff and probably some household items."

"Yay…" He says glumly but she doesn't catch it. "Only with a woman would shopping be the first thing to come to mind." "Well, I guess you want to sleep huh? I'm surprised you haven't passed out from exhaustion."

"I'm used to getting over tiring situations, Good night hun." She says as he kisses her.

"I'm going to be in that chair if you need me. Good night sweetheart." He says after he kisses her.
