52. What are you seeking?


The next morning they both woke up they turned and looked at each other before giving each other a small sad smile then the dread took over today was the first day of this custody battle with Tracy and both just wanted it to be over.

"You better jump in the shower you have to leave soon" Rose told him rubbing his cheek "I'll go make breakfast" she said giving him a light kiss and got out of bed.

Rose slipped on some shorts and a big dog t-shirt and went downstairs she walked into the living room and kissed JoJo's head as she watched cartoons she walked into the kitchen and started breakfast.

Leati came downstairs after his shower he stood in the door way and watched JoJo for a minute before letting out a deep breathe he walked in sitting next to her on the couch and kissed her forehead.

"Hi daddy" JoJo said

"Hi baby girl" Leati said to her "Just know I love you and everything I do is for you ok" he said

"I know" she said smiling up at him

"It's ready" Rose yelled from the kitchen

After breakfast Leati stood up and looked at both girls he gave each one a kiss before grabbing his keys of the counter.

"I better go" he said to them

Rose could see the fear and sadness in his eyes so she walked over and grabbed his face giving him a reinsuring kiss.

"Everything will go great just stay calm and civil don't let her get the best of you" she told him "Me and sweet pea will be waiting for you to come home" she added shutting the door after he left.

Leati sat across from Tracy in utter disbelief as her lawyer read off her list of demands he leaned back in the chair biting his tongue it took everything in his power to not flip out.

"Lastly Ms. Anoa'I is requesting that Rose Levesque not be allowed around JoJo without her present" her lawyer said.

"What?" he yelled "That's bullshit Rose is not any harm to her they love each other and she treats Jo way better then you ever have" he said looking at her.

Michael patted him on the shoulder trying to get him to calm down before grabbing some papers off the table and handing them to the judge and her lawyer.

"These are documents that my client has collected over time about the mistreatment of the child in question there is also a police report from a few weeks ago when she showed up at my client's house and proceeded to yell, cuss and scream at my client's sister and their daughter" he told the judge.

The judge looked at the papers over before shaking his head throwing them on the table and taking his glasses off he rubbed the bridge of his nose before leaning on the table.

"Mr. Anoa'I what are you seeking?" he asked looking at Leati

"I want full and sole custody and for her to be stripped of all rights and to be completely honest taking a child from her mother is the absolute last thing I ever wanted to do but I have to put JoJo's well-being first and make sure she is living in home that is full of love and warmth not somewhere that she will be yelled out and treated like garbage" he said "I have here a lay out of the help I will have taking care of her do to my job but between me and fiancé she will only be with one of my family members two days a week" he told him

"I'm also asking that she go back to her maiden name of Baker" he told him before looking over at Tracy who was beat red in the face.

"Ok well let's take a quick recess so I can look over everything I have here" he told them standing up and walking back to his chambers.

Leati got up and walked out going to the vending machine getting a bottle of water out he was getting ready to take a drink when the bottle flew out of his hand across the room he looked over and met the cold hard stare of Tracy.

"I will not allow you to take my daughter away from me" she yelled at him "Mark my words Leati if you take her there will be hell to pay for you and that whore" she said walking off.

They walked back into the room and sat down the judge took a deep breath before speaking "So I looked over everything and decided that I needed to rule in the best interest of the child and my decision is that I am awarding the temporary full custody to Leati Anoa'I" he said "I am also approving the name change form Anoa'I back to Baker" he said "Lastly I am ordering you Ms. Baker to attended anger management classes" he said

"This isn't fair" Tracy yelled slamming her hands on the counter.

"Calm down before I hold you in contempt" The judge said to her

"Now in six months we will met again to see if the decision will stay final or we can change some things so I advise you Ms. Baker to be on your best behavior" he told her "Any questions?" he asked

"Were good" Michael said

"None" her lawyer said

"Then were dismissed" he said standing up and leaving

Leati walked into the house with a huge smile he went to the backyard and sat on the chair next to Rose.

"How did it go?" she asked looking over at him

"We got full custody" he said then told her everything that happened.

"That's awesome" Rose said smiling "At least we don't have to deal with her for a while so that will be a breath of fresh air" she said

"Yes it will be" he said smiling "I'm going to change and then we can cook out" he told her walking into the house.

They spent the rest of the night cooking out and spending time as family the way they hoped it would always
