71. The right thing.
Tracy went as pale as ghost when she seen Mickie walk in and sit down she wasn't sure what was going on but she hoped it was in her favor considering the other two were the reason she lost her job.
"Ms. Baker I am giving you one chance" he said looking at her "is there anything you want to tell me" he asked her
"No" Tracy said shaking her head
"Alright" he said hitting play on the recorder.

"How can I help you?" Judge Roberts asked
"Are you working on the Anoa'I case?" Mickie asked
"I am, Why?" he asked
"Because I have some information that you need to hear about one of the parties" she told him
"Go ahead" he said.
"Tracy Baker is a liar" she said simply "She doesn't care about Joelle. All she cares about is money and herself" she said "I have a few recordings of her admitting that the only reason she wants custody is so she can make money off her by trying to enter her into pageants and getting her on tv" she said
"I also have a recording from just right before the hearing started of her talking to Joelle in the rest room saying she will ship her off to boarding school and make sure she never sees her dad again" she said
"Ok I need to hear those" he said
Mickie pulled them up and played each one for the judge before locking her phone again. She took a deep breath before continuing.
"I also have proof that Tracy never attended the parenting or anger management classes in fact she paid the instructors off to lie and say she was doing great that way it would better her chances at wining" she said.
"Tracy is a horrible to Joelle she treats her like garbage and talks to her like it also I remember plenty of times of her just belittling JoJo for every little thing. She is not a good mother at all and if were keeping the child's best interest at heart then she needs to be in a home where she is loved and cared for by parents that build her up and help her become the best human possible and I fear that if Tracy gets her claws in her that Joelle won't stand a chance" she told her
"And one last thing Tracy said that if she didn't get full custody today that she will do whatever it takes to get Joelle back and it won't matter who gets hurt in the process" she said
"Do you have the proof of her paying the instructors off?" he asked
Mickie slid some papers across the table showing the checks that were used to pay them off and their names. He nodded his head before picking up the phone and calling both names on the paper telling them to come to his chambers.
"Good thing the classes are held here" he said "for your sake I hope you're not lying" he told her
Once they came in and seen Mickie they both instantly slumped their shoulders and that was all the proof he needed he called for a bailiff to take them away until he could deal with them.
"Let's go" he said standing up grabbing the recorder and paper work.

Judge Roberts shut off the recording then leaned on the bench before looking over at Tracy who was seething with anger as she stared at Mickie.
"First let me say thank you to Mickie for stepping forward with this information because it made my decision so much easier" he said
"I just wanted to do the right thing I know what I did to you two was wrong and I know you won't ever forgive me but I am truly sorry" she said stepping down.
"Second, Mr. Aona'I I am sorry that you have had to put your daughter through all of this" he said shaking his head.
"Last Ms. Baker you do realize it is a felony to pay off a court official" he said to her "That right there is enough to send you to jail for a while" he said "but until a full investigation is conduct I can't arrest you so don't you leave town" he said "You are a special kind of crazy I can't believe a mother would speak to and talk about their own child in the way you did it truly disgust me" he said
Judge Roberts signed some papers then called her lawyer up to the bench and handed them to him, he walked back over to Tracy and set the papers down in front of her she shook her head and cried before signing them.
"So for the official court record I grant Leati Joseph Anoa'I full custody of Joelle Anoa'I and I am stripping all parenteral rights from Tracy Baker" he said
"Mr. Anoa'I I wish your family nothing but love and happiness from this day forward this court session is adjourned" he said standing up and leaving.
Leati stood up and hugged Rose and JoJo kissing both of them on the head before turning to Michael and shaking his hand.
"Here are the papers all you have to do is sign them and have Rose sign them and Joelle will legally be Rose's daughter" he told him
"Thank you" he said
Rose walked over to Mickie and gave her a small smile "Thank you for stepping up" she told her "But why were you here today?" she asked
"I simply couldn't let an innocent child be dragged through all of her bullshit so the only right thing to do was to tell the truth I know it will never excuse what I did but if I can right some wrongs then i will and please Don't thank me I don't deserve it but I wish you two nothing but good things from here on it" Mickie said "I meant what I said I am sorry" she told her "I'll see you around" she added leaving.

They pulled into the drive way and walked into the house and were met with their family and friends who all wanted to know what happened.
"We won" Leati said smiling
"Thank God" Sika said hugging them
"Jo why don't you go pack a bag and come hang out with Aunt Nessa tonight" she told her
"Okay" JoJo said excited
"You don't have to do that" Leati told her
"I want too" she said hugging him.
After she came back down stairs they headed out and the rest walked into the living room.
A few hours later they heard loud banging on the door.
"Open the fucking door" Tracy yelled as she banged on it louder.
Rose rolled her eyes and got up from the couch and flung the door open she popped her neck and clenched her fist.
"Oh shit" Dean said
"It's about to go down" Jon added
Before Rose could register what was happening she felt a hard slap across her face but she shook it off and smirked.
"You really are a dumb bitch" Rose said.
Rose connected her fist directly to Tracy's nose causing her to stumble back. Rose lunged at her spearing her to the ground and hit her with forearm after forearm she could hear Tracy begging her to stop.
She stood up and turned on her heel to walk away but Tracy grabbed her by the ankle and made her fall. Tracy got up quickly and got on top of Rose and wrapped her hands around her neck trying to choke her.
Rose was able to get to her feet and slam her to the ground Tracy cried out in pain. Rose stood up to her feet and delivered a swift hard kick.
"That is for every cruel, mean and heartless thing you ever did to my family" Rose yelled at her before kicking her a few more times.
Rose bent down and grabbed Tracy's face in her hands squeezed it she put her lips right next her ear.
"You need to leave before I catch a damn case" she told her "I never want to see you or hear your annoying ass voice ever again" she said
Rose stood up and turned to everyone who had a shocked looks on their faces she stopped and looked at them.
"Before you ask I'm fine she hits like a bitch and no I don't feel bad because that's been a long time coming and I'll admit it felt damn good to whoop her ass" she said
"Now get that garbage off my driveway" she said walking into the house.
