Inside the court room Emily was really nervous. She was scared she would have to tell the girl bad news.

The judge walked in and everyone stood up politely and sat back down. He talked about the case and then said...
"temporary custody is granted to Penelope Garcia till the final hearing in six days."

The entire team cheered. They couldn't be more excited.
Derek smiled noticing Marley was smiling too. The woman knew Bella would be okay and she was happy for the girl.

"Let's go tell her?" Derek said excited and they walked to the waiting room. They walked in to find Bella sitting on Sarah's lap facing the tv, with a tight grip on her blanket.

"Guess what?" Penelope said smiling walking in the room first and Bella turned to look at her. "You're coming with me" Penelope said smiling and with tears in her eyes.

"I am?" Bella asked in disbelief.

"Yes" Penelope smiled and Bella ran and hugged her. "Thank you" Bella said and let go of the hug. Penelope smiled and the girl walked to Emily. Emily picked her up and sat on the couch placing Bella on her lap.

"What's gonna happen now?" Bella asked suddenly nervous again.

"You'll stay with Penelope for 6 days and then we'll have the final hearing" Emily said.

"And then I can go home with you?" Bella asked.

Emily swallowed.

"Hopefully" Sarah said noticing Emily's sudden nervousness.

"But can you go see me at Penelope's house?" Bella asked.

"I'm sorry but I can't, honey." Emily said and Bella just looked broken. "Look, it's okay, don't be sad. You're gonna have fun with Garcia and we'll see each other in 6 days. It will go by superfast" Emily said hugging the girl who let a few tears fall.

"But I want you mommy" Bella said not letting go of the hug.

"I'll see you soon I promise" Emily said. "And I'll call you everyday. Okay?" She added.

"Do you swear to me you will?" Bella asked letting go of the hug.

"I swear, Bells" Emily said and kissed the girl's forehead.

"Oh and I think you're gonna like what Penelope has planned" Emily smiled and looked at Penelope so she could tell the girl.

"How about if we take a little trip to New York City?" Penelope said smiling.

"to New York?" Bella asked unsure.

"Yeah. I got tickets to a certain musical that I heard you wanted to see so I thought why not go right now" Penelope said.

"For how long?" Bella asked looking at Emily. She didn't want to stay away from her.

"5 days" Penelope said. "We'll be back for an interview and the hearing"

"I don't wanna go" Bella said sounding a bit sad.

"Bella your mom is not going anywhere. She'll be right here and you can call her whenever you want." Penelope said. "And... I really want to see Matilda" Penelope smiled.

"We're gonna see Matilda?" Bella asked. Everyone noticed she was a bit interested now.

"Yeah" Penelope said. "What do you think? Do you wanna go?" She asked.

"I can call you whenever I want?" Bella asked Emily.

"Yes" Emily nodded smiling.

"Okay" Bella said.

"We can go?" Penelope asked excited and Bella nodded yes. "Yes!" Penelope smiled big and everybody was smiling too.

"So let's go 'cause we have a train to catch" Morgan said.

"You're going?" Emily asked standing up and taking Bella's hand.

"Yes. I think these two might need someone to hold their bags while they shop" Derek joked and everyone laughed.

"We're going on a train?" Bella asked.

"Yes. Have you ever been in one?" Penelope asked.

"No" Bella said.

"You'll love it" JJ smiled and Bella gave her a little shy smile.

"So say 'see you later' to your mama so we can go" Penelope said and the smile faded from the girl's face.

Emily hugged her. "Have fun okay? And I expect you to call me every night to tell how the day went" she said let go of the hug. "Okay?"

"Okay" Bella said with tears in her eyes.

"I'll see you in 6 days" Emily said.

"I love you mommy" Bella said hugging her mother again.

"I love you too." Emily smiled letting go of the hug. "I'll see you soon" she said and Penelope took Isabella's hand.

"See you soon" Bella said and walked out of the room with Penelope.

"Take good care of her" Emily told Derek.

"We will" he said and they hugged and he walked out.

Emily headed home while Derek and Penelope went to the train station with Bella.
The girl was a little nervous; she had a tight grip on her blanket and on Penelope's hand which she hadn't let go of since they'd left.

"Do you want to put this on your bag?" Penelope asked about the blanket and Bella nodded. "Your mom packed you some things" Penelope said putting the blanket inside a backpack full of fun stuff that Emily had packed for Bella. They got to the train station. Derek parked the car and they headed out. They got tickets and the train was already there so they went in. Bella was excited to see everything. She wanted her mom there but she was glad she was with them now and not Jeremy. The trip went fine and the girl loved it. When they got to NYC they rented a car and headed to a hotel. Bella insisted that Derek stayed with them so they got a room with two beds so Bella could share one with Penelope and Derek had another one. They put their bags in the room and headed out to have lunch. They went to the Cheesecake Factory and Bella basically shoved the food down her throat. She was so hungry.

"Sweetie slow down or you'll be sick" Penelope told her.

They finished eating and then went to an ice cream shop across the street. Penelope and Derek wanted to keep her occupied. They walked around the city, stopped at some shops and then headed to Central Park for a while. Suddenly Isabella's phone started ringing. Jeremy had given it to Penelope so the woman took it out of her bag and handed it to the girl. It was Emily calling.

"Mom?" Bella said excited.

"Hi Bells" Emily smiled. "I just called to see how everything is"

"It's okay. We're in Central Park" Bella said smiling. It felt good to talk to her mom.

"When are you going to see the musical?" Emily asked.

"I'm not sure" Bella said.

"Alright. I'll see you soon then. Okay? Make sure you send me pictures" Emily said.

"Okay. I will" Bella said. "I love you"

"I love you too baby" Emily said. "Bye"

"Bye" and they hung up.

Penelope and Derek took the girl to the zoo and they just loved seeing Isabella smiling and looking excited about things. She was okay all day long.
Penelope could see she did the right thing.

They headed back to the hotel around 8. Bella fell asleep in the car. The girl was so tired from walking around all day. When they got to the hotel Morgan carried her inside and put her on the bed and she didn't even move, she was out. Penelope took Isabella's shoes off and then they ordered dinner and watched some tv while eating.

"So what are the plans for tomorrow?" Derek asked Penelope.

"I'm thinking about ice skating, and maybe we could take her to that big toy store" she said.

"Sounds like a good plan for me" Derek smiled.

They watched a movie and then got ready for bed.
"Should I set the alarm clock?" Derek asked and Penelope shook her head no. She wanted the girl to sleep for as long as she wanted. They weren't in a hurry to get anywhere.
Penelope laid next to the girl and Bella moved closer to her. She soothed the brunette's hair and closed her eyes. She fell asleep doing that. And It wasn't long till Morgan fell asleep too.

(Thursday)

The day went out great. They woke up around 8 and Bella woke up at 9:45. So they had breakfast in the hotel and then headed out. They went ice skating at the Rockefeller and it was super fun. Penelope and Derek just loved seeing the girl giggling happy. After ice skating they walked around the place till lunch time. They ate and then headed to the toy store. Penelope couldn't help but smile big as she noticed the little girl's eyes wondering around the store. Bella looked so happy. Penelope told her she could pick a toy and the girl ended up choosing a Yoda plushy.

"You can't get any nerdier then this" Derek said as Bella held the plush and smiled. They paid for it and headed out.

"How about some ice cream again?" Penelope asked excited and Bella nodded yes also excited. She was having a great time.
But all that happiness didn't last forever. After getting the ice cream they walked around some more and then went back to the hotel. Penelope had bought a game at the toy store so they played that and watched tv. They had dinner and then Bella got ready for bed. The girl laid down to watch a movie while Penelope showered. Suddenly she started crying. She couldn't help it. She got scared thinking about the hearing in a few days and she just let the tears fall. She tried to hide from Derek but she failed.

"Princess" Derek said walking to the bed. He sat next to the girl and wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm scared" she cried.

"I know you are. But you'll be okay. No matter what happens." He said pulling her to his lap and just letting her cry.

"I don't wanna live with him, Derek" she said. "It was horrible. He didn't let me..." she said unable to finish.
She took a deep breath and went on...
"He took my phone and he wouldn't let me call mom. And then there was one day when I crying because I wanted mom he just gave me medicine to sleep. I don't wanna go back. He'll do it again" she cried.

"He gave you medicine to go sleep?" Derek asked trying not to sound so pissed.

"Yes" the girl nodded.

"He's never going to do that again." Derek said and Penelope walked out of the bathroom.

"What happened?" She asked worried.

"She wants Emily" Derek said.

"Oh pumpkin. You'll see your mama soon" Penelope said siting on the other side of the bed next to Bella.

"You know what. How about if we go out. Huh? Let's go to Times Square" Derek said.

"Derek it's almost 11" Penelope said.

"Aren't we in the city that never sleeps?" He asked and Penelope laughed.

"Let's go?" He asked her.

"Sure" she said getting up to change.

"Do you wanna go?" Derek asked Bella who nodded yes shyly, she was still crying.

"Can I wear this?" She asked.

"Sure. Just get your coat on, sugar" Penelope said. Bella was wearing light purple pajamas with white flowers on it, pants and long sleeves. She put on her winter coat and her doc martins and they headed out. She actually looked cute with that.

They walked around for a long time. They went to the Disney store and obviously Penelope spoiled the child with tsum tsums and a beanie, it was cold outside so the girl just wore her new Star Wars beanie. They went to the m&m's store and got a bunch of m&m's then they sat at the red stairs and started eating some. It was almost 2am.
As the time went by Bella was getting more and more tired. She was almost asleep sitting up so they decided to walk back to the hotel which was just a couple blocks away. Half way there Derek picked Bella up and when they got there the girl was out. It didn't take long for them to sleep too. It had been a long busy day.

The next morning Bella woke up around 10, Derek was showering and Penelope was on the computer.

"Good morning sugarplum" Penelope said smiling.

"Morning" Bella said sleepy.

"There's breakfast waiting there" Penelope told the girl and Bella went to the table and ate the waffles they had ordered for her. Then she sat on the bed and picked up her phone. She played some games while waiting for Morgan to finish so she could go shower and suddenly she decided to look the judge up online. She googled his name and ended up finding out that he had lost his wife about 2 years before and that he has 3 kids, ages 24, 15 and 12. She was about to tell Penelope what she had discovered but Derek walked out and Penelope told her to go shower so she went. She showered then put on a light blue dress, black tights and walked out with a wet and tangled hair.

"Do you want help with that?" Penelope asked and Bella walked to her and handed her the hair brush.
Penelope brushed it and then made two French braids. The ones Bella always wanted her to do. Then Penelope went to get ready while Bella watched tv with Morgan. Once they were all done they headed out. They went on a bus tour of the city, then to a wax museum and then they had lunch and headed to Central Park again.

"So... let's go see Matilda?" Penelope asked Bella excited.

"Yes!" The girl smiled big and they went.

It was amazing. The seats were great, the show was great and Bella just loved it. Penelope and Derek spoiled the girl with merchandise and then headed to Sardi's for dinner. They had an amazing time and the girl was really happy. When they got to the hotel Bella wanted to call Emily. She did that and told her mother everything that had happen and how awesome it was. Emily smiled as she heard her daughter laugh and go on and on excited about everything she was getting to do.
She just loved it. Of course she wanted to be there with the girl and do all those things but she was so happy that Penelope and Morgan were making Bella feel good while the kid was going through a hard time. She was very thankful for them.
Bella told her about it all and then they hung up and she went to get ready for bed.

They sat to watch a movie and suddenly Derek remembered the girl's birthday was coming up.
"So Bella have you been thinking about what you want to do on your birthday?" Derek asked and when he saw the girl's happy face fade away he knew he shouldn't have.
Bella started crying and Penelope hugged her.

"Oh baby it's okay. It's okay" Penelope said and Derek walked to their bed feeling bad for mentioning.

"Will I be with my mom on my birthday?" Bella asked.

"Oh pumpkin" Penelope said feeling bad.

"I wanna sleep now" Bella said sounding sad and laying down on the bed.

Derek looked at Penelope and she could see how sorry he was.
"She'll be okay Derek" she told him and he went to his bed.

Penelope covered Bella up and went back to watching the movie while the girl laid close to her. Bella stayed quiet for a while and suddenly she said "thank you for staying with me"

Penelope and Derek looked at her.

"I love you guys" she said shyly. Penelope hugged her. "I love you too. Very very very much" she said giving the girl's forehead a kiss with every "very" she said.

Derek smiled at them and Bella smiled back.

"On my birthday I want ice cream cake" Bella said.

He smiled at her and said "I'll make sure you'll have the best ice cream cake in the world" and she smiled.

"Goodnight" Bella said.

"Goodnight princess" he said smiling.

That night Emily got a call from Shepherd, Isabella's godfather. He said he didn't know about what was happening till he got a letter from the judge. He had to go talk to him about the girl and he told Emily he was on her side and for her not to worry about it.
Emily was confused at why Jeremy didn't really tell people.

Saturday went fine.
They walked around the city, went to Central Park and had an Eloise themed tea party at The Palm Court at The Plaza which Bella absolutely loved. Penelope bought the girl an Eloise Tea set and a plush doll.
It was a chill day of doing whatever came on their minds. Bella had a great time but she couldn't stop thinking about the judge and his wife and kids.

In DC, Emily took the day to clean her closet and relax at home. She got texts from Bella throughout the day and couldn't help but smile seeing how exited the girl was about everything in New York.
Around 4, Hilary stopped by and was thrilled about Bella being with Penelope. She invited Emily for dinner at her house. Emily wasn't very sure about it but decided to go.

They had just finished eating, Millie was helping Hilary with the dishes, when Chloe asked "Emily, do you think she'll come back?"

Emily swallowed a bit nervous.
"I think so" she said and she saw hope on Chloe's face. "Chloe, even if she doesn't stay with me, I won't stop seeing her. Ever. And I'm sure your mom will let you see her too" Emily said giving that option trying to push the child's fears away.
Chloe nodded and then just stayed silent. She was scared she would lose her best friend.
Emily stayed there for a while and then headed home. She felt good having dinner with Hilary and the girls but she felt the hole.
Bella should've been there with them.

(Sunday)

Penelope smiled as she woke up that morning and found Isabella fast asleep hugging her Eloise plush and her Yoda. She covered the girl up a bit and went to get ready for the day.

Sunday was their last day to explore the city so they went to the Statue of Liberty and then they went to see Wicked. That had always been Isabella's favorite and she couldn't be more excited to see it again. After the musical they walked around and then decided to go to the hotel to get ready to leave in the morning. They packed everything, went to have dinner at the hotel's restaurant and headed back to their room and got ready for bed.

"How about this movie?" Derek asked smiling as he found "Eloise At The Plaza" was playing on a channel.

"Yes!" Penelope said smiling. So Derek left on that channel and handed the remote to her.

"You're in charge I'm going to sleep" he said and Penelope laughed.

Bella had already laid down next to the woman and was holding her blanket close to her face and had her Eloise plush in her arms. She was nervous about the interview but luckily it didn't take long for her to sleep.

But the sleep didn't last very long...

About an hour later, Penelope got a call from Emily.
"So how's she doing?" Emily asked her.

"She's okay" Penelope said.

"Hey don't lie to me" Emily said.

"Well, she's fine during most of the day. At night she gets a little upset but she's alright" Garcia said.

"Has she been crying?" Emily asked.

"Not as often as I expected actually" Penelope said. "She just cried a couple times" she added.

"That's good" Emily said and suddenly Isabella jumped awake and screamed "no".

Sitting on the bed she looked at Penelope and jumped not recognizing who it was at first. Her breathing was really heavy.
Penelope's eyes started to water as she panicked not knowing exactly what to do. If she should calm the girl or Emily.

"Hey. Hey. It's okay" Derek said running to get Bella. He sat on the bed and the girl just jumped to him.
"What's wrong?" Derek asked but the girl just cried.

"Hey your mom is on the phone. Do you want to talk to her?" Penelope asked and Isabella nodded rapidly so Penelope handed her the phone.

"Mom?" Bella said crying.

"Hi baby. What happened?" Emily asked softly.

"I wanna go home" Bella said.

"I know honey. I'll see you soon, okay?" Emily said.

"I'm scared mom. I'm so scared" Bella cried.

"I know you are, baby. But you gotta be brave for me, okay? You gotta be brave no matter what and I promise that I am doing everything I can to bring you home. Okay?" Emily said as tears rolled down her face.

"Okay" Bella said trying to take control of her breathing again.

Emily heard her daughter take a deep breath and she just knew how the girl was broken and terrified.
"Look Bells. I promise you that no matter what happens I'm never leaving you. Never ever" Emily said.

"I just want to hug you mommy" Bella said and started sobbing again.

Penelope was crying holding Bella's hand while Derek kept his arms around the girl.

"I know" Emily said crying too. There was a moment of silence then Emily said "I'll see you soon. Try to get some sleep, it's late"

"Okay. I love you" Bella said.

"I love you too, Bells" Emily said. She told the girl to sleep because she was about to break down and she didn't want the girl to hear her crying any longer.

Bella handed the phone to Penelope and laid back down. Derek laid next to her.

"Garcia anything just call me, okay?" Emily said.

"Okay okay sure" Penelope said.

"Bye" Emily said and hung up without even waiting for Penelope to say goodbye.

Penelope put the phone away and laid down.
"Oh sugarplum." She said tucking Bella's hair behind her ear. The girl moved closer to her.
"You stay right her between us" Penelope smiled at Bella, who closed her eyes, and then she looked at Derek who was smiling back. He loved the way Penelope talked to the child.

"Goodnight baby girls" he said.

"Goodnight" Penelope said with a sad smile and Bella stayed quiet.

In DC, Emily just broke down.
The moment she hung up the phone she started sobbing. She just felt horrible. She felt powerless. She just wanted to fly to NYC and grab the girl and run. She wanted her daughter by her side, she needed Bella.

Things weren't like before, when John was alive, things were never going to be like that.
And Isabella's place was right there with her.
She just hoped the judge could see that.

(Monday)

Bella woke up and the first thing she asked was if she could call her mother. She called and they talked just a little bit about their plans for the day. Emily was so happy to hear Isabella's voice again, now sounding happier. Emily reminded the girl to tell the truth and make sure to tell the judge exactly what she wanted.

They got ready to go and Bella insisted on wearing the Matilda the musical T-shirt Penelope had bought and her Star Wars beanie. She wore that and jeans, her black winter coat and her doc martins. She carried her Eloise plush.
She just looked adorable.

They headed to the airport and flew back home. Bella was really excited because she would get to see Emily on the next day. But she was also nervous to find out the judge's decision.
When they got to DC, Derek drove to Penelope's house. They left their bags there and headed to the judge's office for interviews. The judge had talked to the rest of the team and to some doctors from Seattle. He found out that Jeremy hadn't told anyone about it which he didn't like at all.

Penelope went in first and she came out crying.

"Why are you crying?" Bella asked scared.

"Nothing bunny. Don't you know your aunt Penny is a waterfall" Penelope said and the girl gave her a sad smile.

Suddenly the judge called for Morgan and he left Bella with Penelope. They played a game on Isabella's phone while waiting.
The judge asked Morgan about Emily at work and the trips and how she was with Bella and things like that. He also asked about Jeremy's relationship with the girl and Derek mentioned that Bella told him that Jeremy gave her medication so she could sleep. The judge didn't like that a lot but he knew how things like that could be hard for kids and it wasn't unusual for them to need help sleeping. He just didn't like the fact that they forced her to take.

The interview didn't take very long. Derek got out and they went to have lunch. Isabella's interview was at 3 so they had some time to kill. They ate at a Mexican restaurant and then had ice cream and headed back for the interview.

"Let's go in sweetie?" Sarah asked.

Isabella handed her Eloise to Penelope and took Sarah's hand. She was nervous and she couldn't stop thinking about the judge's kids. She walked in the man's office with Sarah, the social worker. She was very nervous and scared.

"Hi Isabella. How's everything?" The judge asked.

"Okay" she said sitting down.

"How was your trip to New York?" He asked.

"Good" Bella said.

"Just good?" He smiled.

"Awesome sir" Bella smiled back.

"I'm glad to hear" he said. "Tell me something fun that you did there"

"Umm.. We saw musicals" she said.

"Really? Which ones?" He asked.

"Matilda and Wicked" Bella said.

"Oh that's cool. I've seen Wicked before" he said. "And did you call or text your mom and your brother while you were there?" He asked.

"Yes. Just my mom" Bella said.

"Just your mom? Why not your brother?" He asked intrigued.

"I don't know, I just didn't" Bella answered honestly.

"When you lived in Seattle did you talk to him a lot?" The judge asked and Bella couldn't help but feel nervous to talk about Jeremy. She loved him but she hated him for doing this to her.

"I guess" she said.

The judge just stared waiting for a better answer.

"I'd see him but I wouldn't call him or text him a lot" Bella said.

"And how about your mom? Would you talk to her a lot?" He asked.

"Sometimes. She was always the one to call" Bella said.

"Did she call you every day or every week?" He asked.

"Every few days I think" Bella said picking her nails nervously.

"Alright" he said reading something on a file. He took some time reading it and Bella couldn't help it anymore. She had to ask him.

"Sir? Can I ask you question?" She said and the judge looked up.

"Yes, go ahead" he said.

"The other day I looked up your name on the internet and I found out that your wife died and your kids stay with you. Is that true?" She said shyly.

"yes it is true." He said not knowing exactly where the child was going with that.

"Well, I was thinking about it and how are you different from my mom?" She said and the man just stayed silent waiting for her to explain.

"I mean you're a judge and you chose if people go to jail or not, and my mom is the person that sort of brings the bad guys here so you can make that decision. If you and Jeremy thinks that her job is dangerous because of this, wouldn't your job be too? And if it is then why do you get to have your kids with you and I can't stay with my mom?" Bella said with tears in her eyes.

The judge was speechless. So the girl kept going.

"I just don't think it's right. You know? You have a 12 year old and I'm gonna be nine soon, We're almost the same age and just imagine if someone took him from you. It's not right." She said now crying.
"Just imagine if your oldest kid did this to you. I'm sure you wouldn't want to lose your son. And my mom doesn't want to lose me." Bella said and she noticed the judge had tears in his eyes. "I just want to stay with my mommy, sir. I love Jeremy but he is just my brother and he should be just that" Bella said and wiped her face.

The judge was trying hard not to cry. The girl had a point and she was absolutely right.
"Thank you for telling me" he told her serious. "You can go now" he said and Bella felt scared. She felt like she might have gone too far, the man looked upset.

"Let's go?" Sarah asked wiping her face.

"I'll see you tomorrow" the judge said.

"Bye" Bella said and walked out with Sarah.

"How did it go?" Penelope asked Bella.

"She did amazing today" Sarah said smiling proudly. She had never seen a child talk with their heart like that before.

Bella hugged Derek and just sobbed.
"Hey. What's wrong?" He asked confused. The girl looked fine a couple seconds ago.

"Can we go now?" Bella said. She didn't even know why she was crying really. Maybe relief? She wasn't sure. She was scared about the hearing the next day and all she hoped was that the judge understood her and would let her stay with Emily.

At Penelope's house they played board games and then Derek headed home. Penelope cooked dinner while Bella showered. Once the girl was done, they ate chicken sandwiches which Bella loved. They watched tv for a while and then headed to bed.

"Penny" Bella said hugging her blanket and Eloise, and Penelope looked at her. "Do you think he'll let me stay with mom?" The girl asked as her eyes filled with tears.

Penelope hugged her and kept running her hand on the girl's back.
"Yes" she said.

"Really?" Bella asked.

"Your mom is the best mom in the world, right?" Penelope said.

"Yes." Bella said. "And I have the best family in the world" the girl added looking at Penelope.

"I love you munchkin" Penelope said smiling. She couldn't believe how much she actually loved that child.

"I love you too" Bella said and closed her eyes.

It didn't take long for them to sleep.

That night Emily sat in bed and couldn't stop thinking about her girl. She was so scared about the hearing that she ended up having a horrible night. She barely slept and when she did she kept waking up because of nightmares.

She just hoped the next night would be fine and she would have her baby right by her side again.
