"Ok Zuli, stay still for mommy so she can get your brother dressed. We have a date with your cousin Lee and I don't want any trouble." I said tickling Zuil's tiny feet. She smiled at me and I started dressing Levi who was very cooperative. I didn't realize life as a mother was so demanding, with Oswald almost always gone it was always me having to take care of the babies and doing most of the work around the house. Jeez, my mother always made it seem like parenting was a breeze.

Of course Gertrude and Lee helped but it doesn't feel the same without him. I finished dressing the twins and brought the downstairs and placed them in their playpen before heading into the kitchen to check on lunch. After turning off all the stoves and setting the table the doorbell rang. I checked on the twins before opening the door to reveal Lee and a cake.

"Hey, Lee how are you doing?" We embraced and she walked into the house going straight to the twins. Levi and Zuli both loved Lee to pieces, they didn't really care for Harvey and Jim though. "So how's life treating you little cousin, you look really well and the babies keep getting cuter every time I see them." I nodded and smiled at me babies.

"Life is good, it could be a little better but I'm not complaining. I just wish Oswald was around more but you know how men are, always putting work before everything else." I looked over at Lee who was making a face at me. "Penelope are you sure your relationship with Oswald is a healthy one because I don't think it is. He is crazy and I'm afraid that one day he might actually hurt you. Since you've been with him you've had to move three times, you've been kidnapped and cut open. Next time you could end up dead, or even worse you could lose the twins, I just want you to think about your safety and the babies safety." Lee explained as I frowned at her.

"If me taking a vacation from Gotham is going to make you feel better then I'll take the twins and we'll go visit Star City or something. I'm safe and so are the twins, Oswald would never hurt me in a million years. Plus even if he tried all I have to do is trip him and run he can't move very fast with his limp anyway." I said chuckling. "You know usually you take a vacation to an island paradise or the countryside like Smallville, Kansas not another city." Lee said as she joined in with my laughter.

We talked for hours and I spent much needed girl time with her. But like always the times came to a end, she left and I was all alone again. Maybe I could call Oswald and see if he's coming home tonight that way I set up a night dinner date for the two of us.

Before i could call Oswald the door opened and he waddled in with Victor and Gertrude on his heels. "Good you're already dressed, mother will watch the twins we're going out tonight." I nodded grabbing my purse and kissing the twins before we left.

"So who are we trying to spy on because it's kind of early to be going to dinner." I said following him into the car. "My dear, we are just going to dinner a really nice restaurant opened up and I want to take my beautiful fiancé there." Oswald said kissing my hand. "That's very nice of you Oswald but I know you better than you think." He smiled at me me kissed my hand. "Trust me it's going to be you and me, and Victor of course but he can get his own table." I shrugged and smiled at Oswald.

Just like he said we went to dinner and there were no shenanigans at least none that I knew of, just much needed one on one time. By the time we left the restaurant it was late and stormy. "Oh how could I forget, it seems that we're going to have to make a quick detour my dear. Victor and I have to visit an old friend, you can stay in the car I promise we won't take too long." Oswald said as we pulled up to a large apartment.

Oswald and Victor got out of the car and broke into the apartment. Old friend my ass. I quietly got out of the car and walked into the into the building making my way upstairs. He's such a liar, he only went out with me just for business. I noticed one of the door on the top floor slightly opened and I walked in seeing a poorly decapitated body lying on the ground.

I covered my mouth before my dinner ended up on the floor. The stench of blood was over powering meaning there were more bodies. I heard Oswald's loud voice along with a very nervous voice. I kept walking towards the sound of their voices until I saw Victor frowning at me. I looked behind him to see Commissioner Loeb and Oswald.

In a split second I was beyond pissed, just like I said before the two of spending time together was just him wasting time so he could terrorize Commissioner Loeb. I left the apartment and started walking home, I didn't care that it was raining or that it was like 2 am, I just wanted to get home and go to bed. Halfway to the house a car pulled up beside me and it was a very worried Butch.

"Get in the car let me drive you home. The boss is very upset right now, the last thing I'm going do is take you to him." I frowned and got into the SUV. "So what happened all the boss said was to find you and he sounded pretty pissed off." I shrugged and rolled my eyes. "I don't care that he's pissed off he's a liar and o don't like to be lied too. Just tell me if your going to be crazy and I'll just stay home and let you be crazy." I felt Butch's eyes boring into the side of my face.

The rest of the ride home was quiet and uncomfortable, I was wet, cold and I just want to take a bath and go to bed. When we got to the house it was quiet and Oswald wasn't home thank goodness. I walked upstairs and checked on the twins, Zuli was sleep while Levi was sitting up in his crib. As soon as he saw me he smiled and I picked him up and took him to my room laying him on the bed.

"What are you doing up so late baby boy? I said kissing his face. I heard the front door slam and I knew Oswald was here and raging. I locked the door before grabbing Levi and walking into the bathroom. I filled the tub up with hot steaming water and sat Levi on the rug with a few toys before relaxing. I relaxed for about ten minutes before Levi lost interest and started getting fussy meaning he was hungry or needed a diaper change. Well looks like I'm going to have to continue this bath later.

The great thing about Levi is he doesn't make a lot of noise unless he wants something or he doesn't feel good. Zuli on the other hand she's like the energizer bunny, always making noise and trying to get in everything. As soon as I picked Levi up he stopped fussing, and relaxed in my arms. I see you're ready to go back to bed little man. I heard the door handle jiggling and rolled my eyes.

"Penelope I know your in there, we need to talk. It's really late so we don't have to do it now but we're going to have to talk eventually." Oswald said before I heard him leave. Oh I plan I give him hell when I get up, that bastard better hope he's no in this house because I will rain down on him like the Holy Ghost. (Lol) I laid Levi down on my bed and in a matter of minutes he was sleeping and I followed suit. Life as mother and a crime lords fiancé is beyond crazy.
