Ch. 13: The Monster Under My Bed (Part 1)


Jester narrates that Years passed and I've grown into a happy, playful five-year-old child with reddish brown hair. I loved seeing my daddy as I did when I was just a tiny newborn baby girl, but whenever he had to leave me I felt all alone, but he would always call me when he was away doing business. But one night changed my daddy's life forever.....

Jessie POV: It was about 6:00 pm on a Friday and Daddy wasn't home. I was missing him so much because he had left to do business outside of Gotham. I tried to occupy myself with anything, but nothing worked. Just then I heard car doors closing. Filling myself with happiness and ran downstairs to see my Daddy.

The door opened and closed, there I saw my Uncle Frosty and my Daddy. "Daddy!!!!" I said as I ran into his open arms. "There's my girl. I missed you." Daddy said with a smile. "I missed you more and love you more Daddy," I said to him looking into his big blue eyes. "Were you good while I was away?" He asked. "Yes, Daddy I was good, but I got hurt yesterday," I told him. (Whenever my Daddy hears the word "hurt" he goes on a rampage. The second pic. has his facial expression) "Who hurt you, Jessie? Did any of Daddy's men hurt you? Cause if they did, I'll-" "No Daddy. No one hurt me. I was out playing yesterday when I tripped over a rock and scrapped my knee." I said to him.  " My poor, poor baby. Does it still hurt?" He asked. "Only a little bit," I replied. "Hey. Where's my welcome back hug?" My Uncle Frosty said. "I'm sorry Uncle Frost. I didn't mean to forget you, but I was excited to see Daddy home." I replied. "Oh, Jessie. I'm teasing you. I know how much you missed your daddy." My Uncle replied as I hugged him. 

"Daddy," I said as I looked at him. "Yes, baby girl."  "I made you something, while you were gone," I told him. "Oh, you did? Can I see it?" "Yes, but you have to close your eyes." "But I won't see that pretty lil face of yours." He said with a sad puppy-eye look. "Okay, Daddy. You don't have to cover your eyes, but can you be surprised when I give it to you?" I asked. "Baby girl. I'll be surprised no matter what. Okay?" He said as he picked me up. "Okay, Daddy," I said with a smile. I took my Daddy's hand and took him into the living room and told him to wait there until I returned. I ran upstairs to get my Daddy's surprise from my bedroom, ran down the stairs, and handed it to him. "Oh, Jessie. This is beautiful." Joker said as he pulled Jessie in for a big hug. It was a beautiful picture of me and my daddy with "World's Greatest Daddy" in the middle. "Do you like it, Daddy?" I asked him with a worried face. "I love it, Princess." I jumped into his arms again and I wrapped my arms around his neck, giving him the biggest hug ever.

"You know something, Princess. Daddy's hand is feeling funny." Daddy said. "Oh no." "It's the tickle monster," Daddy said as he tickled me. "Dddaaadddyyy. Sssstttoooppp" I said. "The tickle monster said "no," Daddy said in a funny voice. "I surr-ender." I said with laughter since the "tickle monster" was still tickling me. "What? I think she wants more." The "tickle monster" said. "Nooooo. No more, Daddy." I said as I continued to be tickled by my dad. " How I missed your laughter, my lil princess." My daddy said as he pulled me up onto his lap. "Daddy, why did you have to go away?" I asked. "It was a business trip, baby girl and Daddy needed to go." He replied. I started to feel my eyes tear up with tears and said "Why, Daddy? Why did you go?" I busted into tears, crying into my Daddy's chest. "Oh, Jessie. There, there sweetheart. Daddy had to go because he had to. But it doesn't matter now because I'm home with you." My daddy said as soothed me. "How about you go get Uncle Frosty and tell him to get us some food?" He said with a smile and wiped away my tears. "Okay, Daddy," I said with a happy smile and ran off to find my Uncle Frosty.

Joker POV: I couldn't believe how big my lil Princess has gotten. It seems like yesterday she was just a tiny newborn baby and now she's already five years old. I HATED, and I mean HATED TO LEAVE HER. Jessie is my only daughter, but if she knew what I do on some of my business trips, I know she'd never love me again. She's all I have left, without her I'm nothing. Ever since I brought her home, she changed my life. If anything should ever happen to her, I would KILL EVERYONE!!!!!

"Uncle Frosty. Uncle Frosty?" I called looking for him. "I'm in the dining room, Jessie." My uncle Frost replied. I went to the dining room and saw my Uncle Frost typing on his computer. "I'm not bothering you. Am I Uncle Frosty?" I said shyly. "Oh, Jessie. I'm never too busy for you. Now what do you need, sweetie." My uncle Frosty said. "Daddy wants you to order food for us," I told him. "Alright. What do you want?" He asked me. "Pizza," I said with a smile. "And what does Daddy want?" He asked me. "I don't know. I'll have to ask him." I replied. Little did I know that my Daddy was right behind me. He crept up on me and scooped me into his arms. At first, I screamed, but it turned into laughter. "Daddy," I said looking into his beautiful blue eyes. "I couldn't resist, Princess, and I don't want to be away from you another minute." He said. "Boss, what do you want to eat?" Frost asked him. "Pizza sounds great." He replied. "Alright. I'll be back in a few minutes." Frost said as he closed his laptop and left. "Well, my lil Princess, it looks like I have all to myself,"  Daddy said as carried me into the living room. "So tell me, baby girl. What did you do while I was away?"  Daddy asked me. "Nothing much. I was missing you a lot though." I said. "I've been missing you too, Jessie," Daddy replied. "Daddy? Can we play a game until Uncle Frosty returns?" I asked him giving a sad puppy-eye look. "Alright. What kind of game?"  Daddy said. "Can we play hide & seek, Daddy?" I asked him. "Alright. You go hide." He said as he covered his eyes and started to count. While my Daddy was counting, I looked for a good hiding place. I hid in my playroom/bedroom underneath my huge pile of stuffed animals, that I had gotten over the years. (pictured below)

Just then I could hear  Daddy saying "Oh, my sweet lil princess. Come out, come out wherever you are." He entered my playroom/ bedroom and was searching the room like a hawk. Then he saw two small feet sticking out from the pile of stuffed animals. "Hm. I wonder if my baby girl is hiding in her closet. No. Well, maybe Simba knows." He said. "Well, Simba. Do you know where Jessie is?" Daddy asked him. "Yes." He said in a funny voice. "Try her stuffed animal pile," Simba said.  Daddy put Simba back on my bed and walked over to my stuffed animal pile. "That's odd I don't remember seeing two tiny feet in my baby girl's stuffed animal pile." "Maybe I should tickle them," Daddy said as he got closer to my feet and released the tickle monster once more. "Found you." He said as he kissed my head.

Just then we both heard the door open and close and we both knew that there was pizza. Daddy scooped me up in his arms and carried me downstairs into the dining room where,  Daddy, Uncle Frost and I ate our dinner. It was now 9:00 pm, it was time for me to get ready for bed. I took a nice warm bubble bath and got myself squeaky clean. Then went into my bedroom to get dressed. I brushed my teeth and waited in the bedroom for Daddy to read/ tell me a story. After my Daddy told me a story, I drifted off to sleep, but little did I know I wasn't alone in my bedroom.
