Leati sat on the bed staring at the window today was the custody hearing he was stressed beyond belief because when it came to the courts eyes Tracy had been on her best behavior and he feared that in the end the judge would allow her fifty/fifty.

He let out a deep breath before standing up and grabbing his suit jacket slipping it on he was getting ready to head downstairs when he heard a cry.

"Hey little man" he said picking Blaine up out of his crib and rubbing his back "Let's go get momma" he said kissing his head.

Leati walked downstairs to the living room and stopped in the door way watching Rose and JoJo play candy land he smiled before walking in.

"Blaine" JoJo said standing up she walked over and sat on the couch before wiggling her fingers for her dad to put him in her arms.

Rose stood up and sat on the couch next to JoJo "Is that my favorite guy" Rose said smiling at Blaine.

"Hey" Leati said looking at her

"You will always be number one but you have to share me now" Rose said with wink.

"T.T Nessa has arrived people" Nessa said walking in.

Leati just let out a chuckle before walking into the kitchen to eat breakfast.

Rose stood up giving her a hug "Thank you for watching them today" she told her.

"It's no problem" she said "Wait where is Shay?" she asked

"Still asleep" Rose told her "I'm going to go get ready" she added before going upstairs.

Once Rose made it upstairs she stood in the bathroom gripping the sink and let the tears fall to say she was scared was an understatement she was downright terrified of what would happen today.

Leati walked in and wrapped his arms around her kissing her shoulder she stood straight up and leaned against him closing her eyes.

"I'm scared" she said barely above a whisper

"Me too" he said "I just hope everything we have will trump her six months of good behavior" he said "I just want Jo here with us. Where she is loved and cared for and never treated like garbage" he added as his own tears started to fall.

Rose turned and faced him she placed both hands on the side of his face wiping the tears away with her thumbs she gave a light kiss.

"We got this baby" she told him "When we leave that court house today she will be ours and Tracy will be completely out of her life" she added

They walked back down stairs grabbing their stuff and JoJo's they hugged Nessa bye and kissed the babies before walking to the car.

Rose helped Jo in the car then looked at her and smiled "Jo I want you to know that no matter what happens today I love you so very much" she told her.

"I love you to mommy" she said

"If at any point you feel uncomfortable or upset you tell someone so we can take you out of the room ok" she told her

"Ok" Jojo said shaking her head.

They arrived at the court house and were waiting in the lobby for their time when JoJo needed to use the rest room. Rose walked her to the bathroom and waited outside the door for her.

JoJo came walking out of the stall and went to wash her hands when she heard another stall door open she froze in the mirror when her eyes locked with Tracy's ice cold ones.

"Hello Joelle" Tracy said walking to the other side of the sink washing her hands "When I speak to you young lady I expect you to respond" she told her shutting the water off.

"Hi" she mumbled out

"So are you ready to stop being a little brat and come home where you belong?" Tracy asked propping her hip against the counter.

JoJo didn't say anything she just stared at the ground until she felt Tracy grip her chin and make her look up.

"I want you to listen to me and listen to me good" Tracy said "You are my child not Rose's and you will never be her daughter" she added "You have gotten away with this little temper tantrum for too long and now it's over so when you walk out of this bathroom you better say goodbye to them because after today you will not see either of them again and I have you signed up for an amazing boarding school to help teach you some respect and discipline" she told her.

Tracy walked out of the bathroom and smirked at Rose before making her way down the hall.

Rose rushed in the bathroom and pulled a crying JoJo into her arms before letting her own tears fall.

"I am so sorry I should have come in here with you" she said into her hair

"She said I was never going to see you or daddy again" JoJo cried into her neck

"Oh baby that is not true at all I promise" Rose said rubbing her back "I'm so sorry" she said again and picked her up carrying her out of the bathroom.

After they walked out the other stall door opened and a women walked out hitting stop on the recorder on her phone.

Leati rushed over to them and wrapped his arms around them "What happened?" he asked

"Tracy" Rose said

"It's time" Michael said walking up

They entered the court room and stood as the judge walked in and sat down he looked over the papers in front of him before speaking.

"We are here today to reevaluate the custody of Joelle Anoa'I" he said "Lets being" he added.
