The Joker stands in a window at the safehouse that he and his family were staying in. It was a dump and he couldn't wait to get them out of it. Lucy deserved to have the best of everything his I'll gotten gains could offer. And he would see to it that she had it. He looks over his shoulder at Harley, Jester, and Ivy lying twined together in bed. He can't help the warm fuzzy feelings that flood his heart. He was, in fact, happy to feel them. It wasn't a weakness anymore. It was a strength.
Hearing a faint whimper coming from the baby monitor, he instantly turns and heads off to the nursery, grabbing up the baby monitor along the way. When he reaches the nursery he goes inside to find Lucy sitting up in her crib. As he gets closer he can see a little clown doll clenched in her fist. The Joker smiles to himself at how the clown resembled him.
"Hello my little night owl. What are you doing up at this hour?" He speaks and smiles down at little Lucy. He reaches into the crib, picks her up and draws her into his arms. "Is this daddy?" He asks and takes the clown from her tiny fist. He dances the clown on her lap and Lucy giggles. "Oh, do you like daddy the dancing clown?" He asks and makes the doll dance along some more.
"J?" Comes a voice from the doorway behind him. He turns to see Jester standing there with sleepy eyes.
"Hello dear brother, Did I wake you?" The Joker asks.
"No, Harley stole the covers. I got a wchill. I was on my way to grab another blanket and heard you in here," Jester tells him. To the Joker's surprise, Jester looks down, shaking his head, and giggles lightly to himself.

The Joker stares for a moment, but asks, "What has you in such a sudden and jokular mood?"
With the smile still on his face, Jester looks up at his twins questioning expression. "Well... it's just...I know the things you have done, the life you've led, and the man you really are... It's just kind of weird seeing you holding a baby."
"Weird? No no dear brother," the Joker frowns. He looks down at Lucy in his arms for a moment, "it's not weird, it's...it's..." He looks at Jester and twirls his wrist, "serendipitous," he grins big.

Jester nods and folds his arms "That it is brother. That it is."
The Joker's smile soon disappears as he looks back to Jester. "And I have you to thank for it. I could see a change in you the moment I lay eyes on you. How many?" He raised a shaved brow and wait for Jester's reply.
