Here is the forth chapter hope you like, please review! Again I don't own the D.Q. Crew, so here it is chapter 4. Review! I know it's not great but keep in mind this is my first fanfic. Also, sorry I took so long to update! Life has been crazy lately!
"Daddy, Daddy," squealed a small excited voice, "Read me a bedtime story!" "Okay, hold on let me grab the book," called Jarred tiredly. He picked up a book of assorted fairytales with a worn and beaten leather cover. "Which story tonight, Jas," Jarred asked his small four year old daughter. "How about…," Jasmine scrunched up her small tan face as if trying to think about her decision, "Cinderella Daddy, yes Cinderella," Jasmine said hoping up and down on her cot like bed. Jarred smiled at her actions, he swore she got cuter every day. "Read it, read it, Daddy," Jasmine called. Jarred sat down on the edge of nJasmine's bed and then cleared his throat starting to read, "Once upon a time their lived a rich Lord whose wife had died. After a time he married again to an ill-tempered, proud lady. She had two daughters who acted just as she. Now this man had a daughter from his first wife. She was sweet, and beautiful, which made her step mother and step sisters very jealous. It wasn't long before the young girl, whose name was Cinderella, father died." "That's so sad," said Jasmine sympathetically. "Yes it is," replied Jarred thinking of when his own father and mother died leaving him an orphan at the mere age of four, the age his own daughter was currently. "Once Cinderella's father had passed away her step mother and step sisters began to treat her even worse. Making her sleep in a dark musty attic, and leaving her do all the households chores."
"That's terrible," said Jasmine with a sigh. Jarred nodded his head then continued," All though Cinderella was sad and lonely without her father she did have friends. The mice from the attic, and the birds who sometimes helped her with her hard work. One day a thick paper letter arrived in the mail at Cinderella's house." "From the castle," said Jasmine dreamily, having already had the story read to her. "On seeing it Cinderella-" "Daddy," interrupted Jasmine. "Yes Princess, "replied Jarred. "Will I ever meet a prince," asked Jasmine. Immediately his thoughts went to Endon, who either had a prince or princess. "Would you be upset if you met a princess," said Jarred. Jasmine scrunched up her small elfin face. "No, but I would like to meet a prince, then we could live happily ever after," she said finally. "You could live happily if you met a princess, especially one your age," said Doom even though he didn't know what Endon and Sharn's child was. "Yes," said Jasmine, "it is just different though… have you ever met a prince Daddy." Jarred looked at his child's face eagerly awaiting her father's answer. "I have, why do you ask," questioned he. "Because than we could live happily ever after," Jasmine said exasperatly.
"But," said Jarred, "the prince I know is far older than you." "I could marry his son," said Jasmine like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Even at her young age Jasmine was a smart little girl, always full of questions. Jarred chuckled slightly Jasmine didn't give up easily. "The prince may not have a son… and if the prince I know does have a son what if you don't love him and he doesn't love you? You want to marry for love don't you?" Jasmine nodded her small head and said, "It would be nice o fall in love with a prince…or a king." "Why do want to marry a royal, Jas," Jarred asked truly curious to see what the little four year old would say. He knew it was probably from all the fairy tales he and his wife, Anna, told Jasmine, but he figured Jasmine had more than one reason. After a while of silence, Jarred looked over to his daughter expectantly awaiting her answer. That's when he saw that his baby girl was sound asleep a peaceful expression written on her face. Jarred again chuckled softly to himself.
Standing up he placed the old book gently on the ground beside Jasmine's bed. He felt a small warm hand on his back. Jarred turned around to see his beautiful wife Anna smiling very wide. "I heard your and Jasmine's conversation about marrying a royal," she said, laughing softly as she said this. Jarred smiled he loved his family and life. He just smiled back at Anna, and said, "Lets go to bed, dear heart." "Jarred," sighed Anna, "Jasmine will get married some day." "Some day, but not today!" "Not today," agreed Anna. She didn't want Jasmine to grow up to fast, but she knew it would happen one day. Jarred stopped at the doorway of Jasmine's little room, "She is already growing up to fast, and I can't give her a perfect life." "Jarred, Jasmine is happy, for she is loved. As long as she knows she is loved she will grow up a happy child," said Anna softly. "And you have slightly excited to one day be able to walk Jasmine down the aisle, and then be grandfather," she finished with a cuckle. Anna then walked quietly over to Jasmine and placed a soft kiss on the side of her cheek. Jarred followed her actions and did the same. Anna quietly walked out of the room thinking what it would be like when she and Jarred would become grandparents. While Jarred followed all he could do was mutter softly to himself, "Falling in love, marriage… children…. never, my baby girl forever!"
Well there is the forth chapter. I know it isn't that long. Please review to tell me what you think! The next chapter I'm thinking of having Jasmine be like six. Not sure, I'm just have it be when the grey guards take Jarred and Anna. That will be a sad chapter. Then of course after that chapter I'll probably have when Jarred, now Doom, meet after 9 years! I'll try to update faster but until then please update!
