Failed deals

wordcount:698

Joker opened the door to his home with a growl. he angrily slammed the door shut and locked it.

Harley heard him enter the house from the bedroom and winced. 'He is not happy,' she thought, nervously biting her lip. She heard him come up the stairs and open the door.

"The deal didn't go too well?" Joker sighed and nodded. "It didn't, the bitch called it off saying he didn't want to do the deal anymore and apparently I should know why!"

One week later.

"Are you okay, Baby?" Joker asked Harley who was sitting on the floor near his office desk looking at something on her phone. she looked up at him quick enough to say she was fine and looked back to her phone.

J let out a disappointed breath and shook his head before getting on the floor with her.

"Baby girl, please, you haven't been yourself the past few days....tell me what's wrong," he said worriedly. "I-I don't want to," Harley replied nervously, making Joker more concerned, hoping he hadn't done anything to upset her. "Please, baby doll. will you at least tell me what it's about?"

Harley shook her head, now fidgeting with her hands, which she rarely did.

Joker gently picked her up and sat down on the office's couch and placed her on his lap, holding her close to him. "Come on, Baby. tell Daddy what's wrong." He placed a comforting hand on her's but she still just shook her head this time with small tears in her eyes. "No, y-you'll be mad at me," she cried into his chest, vigorously shaking her head. "Shhh, shhh. hey, you know it's really hard to make Daddy mad at you. what happened, Kitten," he soothed while gently rocking her from side to side. "I-i'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean t-to it was an accident I-I promise!" Harley sobbed.

"What did you do, princess. Daddy won't get mad if you tell him the truth." J started rubbing circles on her back out of habit and kissed the top of her head. "He's gonna be more upset at you not telling him than whatever you did."

Harley took a few deep breaths and hid her face in J's chest before speaking. "l-last week I-I was going out somewhere and I saw the guy y-you were doing the deal with and h-he started talking to m-me and said something bad about you, s-s-so I got really mad and i-I" she got cut off by her own cries "I hit him w-with my bat and we started fighting and it's a-all my fault the deal didn't work!" she exclaimed and kept sobbing. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Daddy!"

Joker processed the information and let out a breath. "Oh, baby girl, is that what you're upset about." Harley nodded "a-aren't you gonna yell at me."

"What, I'm not gonna yell at you, why would I yell at you, Princess" he questioned.
"b-because, I lost you so much money all because I-I got pissed and couldn't control myself!"

"Baby.....you know Daddy doesn't like yelling at you, it hurts me as much as it hurts you," J whispered gently into her ear, trying to calm her sobs. "I-I know b-but you were so m-mad when you got home a-a-and it scared me."
Joker paused.
He scared her, he scared his precious baby girl, he made her fear him so much she thought she couldn't come to him with what was upsetting her.
"Oh, baby girl, Daddy didn't mean to scare you. I lose myself sometimes, I didn't realise I was upsetting you. I'm sorry. I won't do that to you again, I promise." Joker instinctively held her body against his and started absentmindedly bouncing his leg up and down almost as if he was trying to soothe a baby. "You can come to me with anything, promise. Don't ever be scared to tell me anything."
"Are you not mad about the deal anymore?" Harley asked timidly, her sobs calming. "Not at all, he was a dick from the start anyway," J joked, succeeding in making Harley giggle a bit.

"You're always safe with me, even if I'm angry," he whispered.  

"I love you, Daddy."

"I love you too, baby girl, don't ever forget that."
