Warning: Cruising

Jess POV: After a while, I felt happy. I was married to the man of my dreams and now we might be expecting a baby!!!! I was so happy that I might be pregnant, but as I looked at the photo album, something didn't seem right. (End of POV)

One afternoon I was at my parent's mansion since Jared had to work. My dad had the day off, so we could have a father-daughter day. "Boss, there is someone here to see you." My uncle Frost said to my dad who was in the office. "Tell 'em' to leave. I don't feel like doing business today." "It's not a business person, boss. She wants to see you in the living room." "She? Maybe it's Harley, wanting to show me something stupid. Alright." Joker said. As I waited for my dad, I looked at the pictures he had of me from a newborn baby to my wedding day. As I looked at my baby pictures, I noticed that I didn't look like either one of my parents. As the footsteps grew louder, I quickly ran back to my spot and pretended to be on my phone. "Jessie? Is that you?" "Surprise!" "Oh, my little girl came home to see her daddy. So how's the married life?" "Wonderful." "Jared's not cheating on you, is he?" "No Dad. If he was you'll be the first to know, so you can hurt him really, really bad." "Ah, I see you still remember what I told you from when you were young. So what are you doing here, not that you are not welcome, of course." "I thought we could have a father-daughter day. Maybe go the movies, do shopping, get tattoos, etc." I said but with the last suggestion, I smirked. "All right baby girl. Just let me change and we can go."

After my dad changed, we went out to see a movie and went out to eat. As we sat down in the booth, I asked my dad "Daddy? Why don't I look like you or mom?" "What do you mean, sweetheart?" "I looked at my old baby photos and I noticed that I don't look like you or mom. Tell me why don't I look like you or mom?" "I can't tell you that honey." "Why not?! Am I your daughter or not?!" "You're NOT! YOU WERE ABANDONED BY YOUR BIRTH PARENTS! I TOOK YOU IN AND RAISED YOU AS MY OWN! I KILLED YOUR BIRTH FATHER because HE WAS GOING TO KILL YOU, for YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE A BOY!" Tears filled my eyes as I was told the truth. "So it's true. I'm not your daughter." "Jessie, honey. Listen to me, I-" "No. You're not my dad. I wish you'd never raised me or found me!" I yelled as I ran away. "Jessie! Come back!" My dad yelled as he got into his Lambo and started to chase after me. Since I was ahead of him, I turned down into a cave and hid. "Jessie! Princess, please come here. I didn't mean what I said. We need to go home so we can talk father to daughter." Joker looked everywhere, but no sign of Jessie anywhere. He got back into his car and drove away. "Why did I yell at her? I'm so fucking stupid! I wish I could take it back and tell her differently." Joker said. Once he was home, he ordered all of his men to go out and look for Jessie. He looked at the one baby photo he had. Frost had taken the picture of him (Joker) holding Jessie for the first time and she's smiling up at him. "My baby girl. My little clown, I'm so sorry. Please come home." He said as he held the picture tight. Meanwhile, back at the cave. It was getting chilly, but I had no blanket or jacket to keep me warm, so I tried to build a fire but everything was damp. Just then I heard a growling noise as something entered the cave. It was a grizzly bear and it looked hungry. "I'm sorry that I'm in your home. I'll just leave." I said to the bear trying to tell it that I wasn't a threat, but that didn't work. I ran as fast as I could and yelled for help. Luckily my dad's men were in the area. "Help!" "Jessie?! "Ahhhhhh!" The bear had me cornered as I prepared myself for the worst, a gunshot went off. The bear had ran away and I was left in tears. "Jessie? It's okay now." "Guys! I found her!" Barry yelled. "Jessie. Thank God, you're alright." My uncle Frost said as he hugged me tight. "Boss, we found her. We'll be home shortly."

The drive home was quiet. I didn't feel like talking because of what happened plus the fear I had for what was going to happen next when I see my dad. As we entered the house, I saw my dad sitting in his armchair by the fireplace. "Leave us. Now." He ordered his men. I was left alone with my "dad". "Sit down, Jessie. We need to talk." I did as I was told, not daring to argue with the man that I knew as "dad/daddy." "Sweetheart. I'm sorry for how I acted and how I told you about your birth parents, but you are my daughter, because I adopted you. Here are the papers if you don't believe me." He said as handed me a purple file. As I looked inside I saw my adoption papers.

"Why? Why did my birth parents abandon me?" I said crying. "Because baby, you weren't the baby they wanted. But that shouldn't matter because I found you, took you in, and raised you." "But I don't understand why they left me." "One night, when you were a tiny baby. I just got you to sleep, so I placed you in your crib, covered you, and had your brothers and uncle Frosty watch you, while I went out. I found out where your birth mother lives and I spoke with her. I asked her why did she abandon her first child. She told me that she had no idea who I was referring to because she thought that either someone took you or you died outside the night I found you." "S-so she doesn't care about me," I said as tears filled my eyes. "I'm sorry baby, but yes she didn't care about you. All she cares about are her other kids, but I know that I love you with all of my heart and I won't let you get hurt ever again. Now how about we get cleaned up and watch a movie?" "A movie sounds great, daddy," I said putting my arms around his neck. "Can you carry me upstairs?" "Anything for my princess," Joker said as he picked up Jessie, bridal style,  and took her to her old bedroom, so she could change into her pj's as well as Joker. Once both were in their pj's, Jess made popcorn, sat by her father, and watched Halloween. After the movie, Jessie had fallen asleep on her father's lap. Joker chuckled and said, "This brings back memories." He got a blanket and wrapped him and Jessie in it. "Sweet dreams little clown."
