"p-puddin," Harley whimpered into the darkness. "Puddin." she lightly touched Joker's chest, trying to wake him up.

"Hm, Harls, what's wrong," He asked sitting up to turn the lamp on, being met with Harley's tear-stained face. "Baby, what happened," he said, taking her small hand in his big one. "I-I had a bad dream," she whispered while squeezing his hand. "Oh, sweetheart, you wanna tell me what it was about?." his first thought was that it was a dream about Griggs or something to do with belle reve, as it wasn't rare for her to have those nightmares, they were usually flashbacks of the times he touched her. "Y-You did what they always say you'll do," she said referring to the voices in her head. "you f-found a better w-women a-and-" Harley broke down in sobs.

"Baby, baby, come here," J opened his arms for her and she crawled into them, hiding her face against his chest, seeking refuge in his arms. "Shh shhh, I'm never leaving you, darling. I promise." Joker slowly rocked them both from side to side, while rubbing circles on her back as she sobbed into his chest.

He nuzzled his face into her hair, repeatedly kissing the top of her head. he started whispering things he loved about her into her ear, like her blonde dip-dyed hair, her childish tendencies, the way she insists to wear 6-inch heels then whines that her feet are sore, asking him to carry her, how she walks up to him after beating someone to death with her bat and kisses him on the cheek as if she didn't just commit murder and how she pouts when she doesn't get her way.

The small tiny little things she does that people on the outside don't see but make him love her even more.

Harley's sobbing had mostly stopped, she still let out small whimpers every now and then but she was a lot more content, she didn't know whether it was J rocking her and rubbing her back, or his sweet whispering or, it could be both.

J continued to soothe her, his chin resting on top of her head. "Baby, how long were you crying before waking me up?" he asked, as it looked like she had been crying for a while. "like half an hour, I think," she mumbled just loud enough for him to hear. J looked down at her surprised. "what, harls, why didn't you come to me." Joker doesn't like it when she didn't come to him when she needed him, it makes him feel bad because he knows his Harley was suffering without refuge while he was there doing nothing about it.

"Well I knew you were tired and I wanted you to sleep, so I just kinda sat on the floor so I didn't wake you," Harley admitted.

Images flashed in Joker's mind of his Baby sobbing on the floor in the dark, her knees curled up to her chest, her arms wrapped around them, all alone while he peacefully slept.

he let out a sigh "Baby girl, I've told you this before if you ever need me come to me. I will gladly drop whatever I'm doing even if it's in the middle of a fight with batman to tend to you" he told her and she looked up at him, laying her chin on his chest. "I know Puddin... I just feel bad sometimes, cus I'm pulling you away from your important stuff just ta take care of me...."

"It makes me feel a little bit selfish."

Joker pulled Harley up onto his lap so they could look at each other properly. he gently held her tattooed cheek in his hand and used his other hand to lace their fingers together.

"Listen, baby, don't ever feel bad for coming to me. I love you so much and I need you to be happy for me to be happy, I will willingly stop doing anything if you needed me to, even if you just wanna talk to me or you're in clingy cuddle mode and you want to cling to me like a monkey."

the end made Harley giggle a little bit and Joker was happy he finally got her to smile again.

Harley held herself close to him, snuggling into his chest once again because it was one of her biggest comforts and J laid them back down, moving one of his hands to her lower back, his other wrapping around where her shoulder blades were, securing her to him just how she loved, calming her. "I love you Puddin," Harley said contently, yawning after she did so.

"I love you too, baby. You're my everything I hope you know that"

"You're my everything too, Puddin."
