Leroy Jethro Gibbs awoke one morning in January to hear his daughter crying from her room down the hall. He cracked his eyelids open and threw the covers off of himself with a sigh. Kate was having some issues sleeping through the night, and he had hoped she'd make it through that night. He was wrong. It was one thirty in the morning when Jethro picked Kate up out of her crib. He knew that it was time to give Kate a 'Big Girl Bed', but every time he tried the little girl would cry and end up in bed with him. It looked like the crib was staying for another few months after all.
"Daddy!" Kate cried as she nuzzled his neck. "I had a bad dweam."
"It's okay, Princess." Gibbs said as he bounced the little girl up and down and rubbed her back. "No monsters are going to get you, Daddy's here."
The toddler sniffled and clung even harder to her father. "Dere were big scawy monsters with horns and pointy teef, and they twied to eat me!"
Jethro just rocked the girl back and forth, grabber her favorite blanket, Yellow, and carried them both back to his room. The little girl's sniffles dwindled down as the two Gibbses settled into bed.
"Daddy?" Kate asked.
"Yeah, Princess?" Jethro replied as he paused halfway to the light switch on the wall by the door.
"Can you look in dere for monsters?" Kate asked as she pulled the blankets up over her head. Her little index finger was pointing at her father's closet.
Jethro chuckled and opened the closet door. "There are no monsters in the closet, Princess."
"Are you sure?" Kate asked.
"Yes, I'm sure." Jethro said reassuringly.
"Okay," Kate said as Jethro shut off the light and got back into bed. The little girl snuggled up to her Daddy with a big smile on her face as she fell back asleep. He Daddy was the bestest Monster Fighter ever.
That night as Kate dreamed, the monsters tried to come back, but Monster Fighter Daddy and his sidekick, Sir Yellow the Blankie, fought them off and kept Princess Kate safe.
