Jason Todd's Daughter Chapter 22, a batman fanfic

She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

Jason walked into the living room, it was ten in the morning, and he had had a long night. He had been breaking his back over a cult that had been making serious moves, and he was exhausted. He sat down on the couch, and Kenya toddled on, wearing a pink ballerina outfit, and holding a CD. She popped it in, and classical music began play. She started dancing, and giggling when she slipped and fell. It was funny to watch her.

It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you

Kenya jumped up, and grabbed Jason's hand, tugging on it, "Daddy!"

There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

"There's a ball at the castle, and I need to practice my dancing. Come on Daddy, come one!" She begged impatiently.

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oooooh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone...

She says it's a nice school and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of her class
She says, "Dad, school is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

Jason remembered Kenya's first day of school. He had followed the bus all the way to school, and then had hid in the tree next to her class room, watching her all day. He had hid outside the lunch room, making sure nothing happened, and that she had enough lunch money. At recess, he had his behind the bleachers, smiling in pride when she finished her race first, and had quickly become the most athletic kid in school.

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ooh-oh ooh-oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

He had done that for three weeks straight, until Kim found out and had beaten him black and blue about it. So, instead of following her every where, he settled for getting these little dances whenever he could.

She will be gone

He didn't want to think about how one day she would be to old for this.

Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

God help whatever boy pursued her, he'd make their life a living nightmare. Literally. He was not above getting some voodoo witch to curse the poor boy.

Kenya giggled as Jason lifted her up, and spun her around, "I love you Daddy!' She exclaimed.

He smiled, "I love you too baby." He kissed her forehead, "More than you know."

I... I think I'm going to cry... maybe... just a little. D-don't forget to r-review. Anyone got a tissue?
