"We'll win this" Aunt held my hand when we're outside. "How about some dinner at my place, Sunny would love it". "Yeah she would" It feels as of I couldn't breathe, what would the court declare in three days, my head spin a bit I caught Andrew to steady myself "Are you alright? Emily asked moving to my side " yeah I just want to go home". "Don't stress yourself that much just know you're going to win this case, the Judge already know that Sam was lying, your lawyer tried his best to prove it to the court theirs no way the Judge would ever give him the custody of your daughter after finding what a big liar he is".
" Thanks, I drew her close and wrap my arms around her. "You guys have been supportive" I turned to watch Sam shouting at his lawyer, he deserves this more than and I'm very happy seeing how humiliated he was when they found out about all the lies he told.
"I'll be right back," I told them before walking to where Sam was fuming in anger. "You deserve more than what happened to you," I said when I approach him. "you think this is the end" he glared at me "not yet but having your lies exposure to the court would show what type of a man you are" I tug the strand of my hair that has gone loose. "You will never have Sunny and I will never forgive you" I didn't wait for him to respond before walking away from him.
How is the hearing going" Mandy asked me when she drop by at the house. "I can't say till the final hearing". "You look so pale, Becca I'm sure that Sam won't win so stop stressing yourself". "Do you know what, it feels as if I can't seem to concentrate or breathe knowing that my daughter life is going to be determined just a few days to come I'm tired of people telling me to calm down or it going to be okay when I know that I'm very much what that monster would do, yes, his lies were exposed at the court yesterday but I know he won't just rest.
" I can't seem to rest till all this is settled, Mandy I won't lie to you but I'm very much afraid, very much afraid of what the court would declare" I broke down, the weight of everything pulling me down, the works feel empty but full of pain. Mandy stood up to comfort me, we stay like that for some time.
"Trust me everything is going to be fine, Sunny is your child and only your child no one is going to take her away from you no matter what" it felt so real yes, no one was going to take away my child from me, not even Sam.
I stood outside the balcony watching the night sky, I've always stood like this when I was pregnant with Sunny, I have given my sorrow and pain away and prepared myself could come to Joy that would fill out my life. I have enjoyed standing in the night sky speaking to my child even though it looks crazy I felt she could head whatever said. I was determined to raise her away from Sam and a father, I wanted to act as both parents to her all I wanted was to make her happy. I felt happy then, happy that nothing was going to come between me and baby but it is not always what you thought that Is going to happen
The last thing I expected was for Sam to come back and claim a child he abandon just because his wife was barren, they were no love there, no understanding all he wanted is to win and shame me. He couldn't ever understand what I suffered the pain I went through all the time I was pregnant and even the day I brought her into the world, he didn't know about all this pain. He just wanted something that is not his and I won't let him, Sunny is my daughter and the only father she has is Andrew.
On the last day of taunt very every member of my family was there except mum and dad but with them here I the lt pressure that they were people who would always stand by me no matter what. I tried my best not to pay attention to the opposite seats where Sam wife and his sister were, their face was all motionless apart from Sam who was smiling all through.
He's not going have any effect on me, we all waited till the Judge made his entrance and we all raise till ordered us to sit, the usual procedure began, I watch as the two Lawyer tried their best to prove their point and make their opponent seems bad. Sunny was present today at the court but she wasn't with me, I have to leave her in the hands of a policeman for the final procedure.
When the lawyer was done with their final speech and it was the time for the Judgement to be made, I turned and saw Sam grinning as if he knows what next would happen, I clenched my hand tightly and waited for the Judge to give the final Judgement, my heart beats rapidly against my chest. What would happen next, this was a question about my life and daughter life I have to win this case no matter what.
"After listening to both listening to parties I have concluded that the one who has rightful custody over the daughter is...the father... My heart stopped beating, I felt the room spin the rest of the Judge's words was swallowed by an invisible force, this was a dream, one bad dream, I have to wake before its too late. It felt like minutes or hours I don't know, I felt strong hands shaking me the Judge was done, my daughter... It wasn't true, I turned and saw Sunny being led out to hand over to Sam. No!!! I sprang up " no!!!
