In the morning, Donna found herself rushing around the room, mentally preparing herself for the hearing. She had taken a shower and took to getting dressed in her white pantsuit. Robert too, had washed up before dressing in his blue wedding suit. He wasn't kidding. He really did only own one suit.

                                            Donna buttoned her blazer up to the middle of her chest and grabbed her mascara and lipstick from Robert's drawer. She ran into the bathroom, opening the mascara tube and brushing it through her eyelashes. When she finished, she opened her lipstick and slicked the crimson pigment on her lips.

                                            Robert pulled his dress shoes on, and came in the bathroom, quickly combing his hair. "Robert, can you get my white heels?" Asked Donna.

                                            "Yeah." He said, setting his comb down and making a quick dash to the closet. He grabbed Donna's white high heels from the top shelf, stopping for a moment. In the dark closet with the shoes in his hands, he thought about how pivotal this day would be.

                                             This was the day where he'd finally be able to keep Mark and Delilah at home, where they belonged. Suddenly his fake engagement, agreed-upon marriage, it didn't matter. It was all about to either pay off or blow up in their faces.

                                             "Robert?" Donna called.

                                             "Coming." He said, returning to the bathroom and giving her the shoes.

                                             "Thanks." She said quietly.

                                             "You're welcome." Robert replied, grinning at her.

                                              After waking the kids and hurriedly getting them dressed, Robert and Donna had driven to the courthouse with them. Outside waiting were Bill and Michelle, and Beau and Jean.

                                              Donna quickly glanced over at Robert as he parked between Bill's truck and Beau's car. He went around to the back, helping Mark get out while she helped Delilah.

                                              "We'll watch the kids." Said Michelle, looking slightly nervous and excited at the same time.

                                              "Thanks, Mom." Said Donna with a sigh. That was one load off for now. She looked up to where Beau and Jean were standing side-by-side.

                                              "I'm Beau." He said, holding his hand out to her.

                                              "Jean." She said, shaking it. When Beau's eyes met Donna's he stepped forward, arms out.

                                             "Good to see you, kid. I hope it all works out for you." He said, wrapping his arms around her.

                                            "Thanks." She replied. Donna looked at Robert who was standing behind her.

                                            "Are you ready?"

                                            "Of course." He said with a heavy sigh. He held his hand out and Donna took it. Robert noticed Donna's ring was gone again, but he figured it was better not to say anything at all.
