Jordan- 3
One late night in the Voight household, the house was dark and quiet. Everyone was fast asleep in their rooms. Jordan put up a fight before hand but lost.
The time was 2:30 in the morning, Jordan was stirring in her bed from a nightmare she then awoke with a start. Her brown eyes were widen in fear as she looked around the dark room the only light was the moon shining through the curtain and the pink light coming from the small night light, she pulled her police bear close to her chest for comfort. When she saw a shadow in her room she got a hold of her bear and ran from her room to her father's room.
The toddler knew her father was asleep so she was quiet when she tiptoed in the room, Hank was fast asleep in his bed he was laying on his left side. Jordan then quickly went to her father's side as she shook his arm trying to wake him.
"Daddy, daddy wake up. Wake up daddy". Jordan says, shaking his arm.
Hank awoke with a start as he glanced around and his brown eyes landed on his baby girl, she was shaking a little along with clutching her teddy bear to her chest.
"Jo what's the matter sweetheart". Hanks asked in a gentle voice.
"There's a monster in my room daddy I saw it". Jordan whimpered.
That set off alarm bells in the older man's head as he picked her up, he didn't know if it was her young mind running wild or if someone was in her room. Being a cop for years you can never know what to expect. Hank carried Jordan from his room going back to back to her room, Justin woke up and emerged from his room.
"Pop what's going on?" Justin asked, his voice filled with sleep.
"Justin I need you to take Jo for a minute". Hank told his son.
"Everything ok pop?" Justin was now wide awake.
Hank handed his little girl to Justin, the three year old gripped her brother's shirt in her small fist. While Hank went to his daughter's room Justin looked at his sister.
"Jo Jo what's the matter". He asked in a small voice.
"There's a monster in my room I saw it". Jordan replied.
The elder man then understood why his sister was frightened he gently rocked her and kissed her head. Hank looked around the small room trying to find the 'monster'. He then saw a shadow and went to it, it was one of Jordan's toys casting a reflection in the light once it was knocked down the reflection was gone.
He went back out to his children, Jordan was curled into her brother's arms when she saw her father exit her room she took her head off of Justin's shoulder.
"Did you get the monster?" Jordan asked.
"Yeah I did sweetheart, the monster's gone". Hanks tells her.
"Can you check for more?"
"Of course".
Hank then went to check under her bed and in her closet, he knew it was her young imagination but he would do anything for his little girl to make her happy and safe. He went back to her and took her from his son, Hank then told his son he can go back to bed he had everything under control.
"Are there anymore monsters?" Jordan asked.
"No more monsters baby, you wanna know a secret". Hank replied, giving her a small smile.
"What".
"The monsters ran when they heard me coming".
"They were afraid of you?"
"That's right the monsters were afraid of me".
"Are the bad guys afraid of you too?"
Hank chuckled. "Yes sweetheart even the bad guys are afraid of me because nobody messes with daddy".
"Can I stay with you tonight daddy?"
"Sure baby".
Hank then carried her to his room as he walked the toddler began to get sleepy and fell asleep on his shoulder, when they got to his room he laid he down in the middle of the bed then got next to her. Jordan sensed her father's presence and curled into his side, Hank saw his baby girl curl into his side he pulled her closer and kissed her head.
The older father stayed awake for a few minutes he then began to close his eyes and fell asleep with one thing on his mind; He'd never let any harm come to his children no matter how old they are.
