A/N: Hi! Sorry for the wait but here you go. Please review, and I hope you like it.

Song of Chapter: 'Lightweight' by: Demi Lovato


Ally's P.O.V

"I didn't think you would show up."

"And you get full custody? I don't think so." I say as I'm walking into the courthouse.

"Hm, well come on we're in here" Elliot says leading me into a room that looks like a conference room.

"Oh she showed up. Babe you said she wouldn't." Some brunette who died it blonde says. She looks like some snobby rich kid who could pass as a stripper.

"Who hell are you? Who the hell is she?" I ask Elliot

"Excuse me how do you know I'm not the lawyer?" She says standing up from her seat and walking over to us in what I guess she thinks is professional looking clothes.

"Because I'm pretty sure lawyers don't call their employees 'babe' and doesn't dress like that." I say gesturing to all of her. "Now please tell me who this is." I say back to Elliot

"Um hello I'm right here you can ask me." She says crossing her arms.

"I didn't come here to see you I came here to see him, so if you could just keep your mouth shut I would appreciate it." I say giving her a fake smile. She seems offended, but I could honestly care less.

"Hey don't talk to my fiancé like that?" Elliot says.

"Your what!?" I practically scream from shock.

"Ally meet Emily, my fiancé" he says.

"Are you an idiot?" I ask

"No I'm-" Elliot starts but I raise my hand up to stop him

"I wasn't talking to you I was talking to her this time." I say turning to Emily

"No I am not!" She says offended

"Well you seem like one, because who in their right mind would marry someone who got married legally at seventeen, had a kid at eighteen, and only a year ago got a divorce, and not to mention the fact that your in a courthouse waiting to see a lawyer on how to get custody a child that is not yours." I say keeping her speechless just the way I like it.

"Well I can definitely see why he left you. What did you even see in her anyway she's obnoxious." Emily says to Elliot.

I'm obnoxious?!

"First of all he didn't leave me I left him. You should probably get your facts straight before you try and bad mouth people."

Bitch

"Hi everyone I'm sorry I'm a little late." A guy who I assume is the lawyer says as he walks into the room. "My name is Jake. Well let's get this started shall we? First we are going to try and figure this out in here so we won't have to go to the courtroom." Jake explains as we all stop talking and sit down. "So Elliot I understand that you and Emily, your fiancé, are requesting full custody of you and Ally's daughter?" He asks, but they just both nod. "And Ally I also understand that you are currently in full of your daughter Amber, am I right?" He asks as he looks through his papers.

"Yes." I respond

"Alrighty. So Elliot why all of a sudden are you requesting to have Amber back when it clearly states that when signing the divorce papers you agreed that Ally could have full custody?"

"I will admit that I was not in a good place when Ally decided to leave me. I easily let her and Amber walk out without a fight, but since meeting Emily she helped me to get back on my feet. When I decided to get married to Emily I had realized that Amber was not living in the right environment, and now that I am able to take care of her I might have a chance to get her back." Elliot explains with a bunch of lies. Elliot was always able to take care of Amber since coming from a rich family and all.

"And are you okay with this?" Jake asks to Emily

"Yes I am. I love children and Elliot and I have talked long and hard about this."

"I do see her that both you and Ally got put in jail?" He asks Elliot. I hear Emily gasp obviously not knowing this.

"Yes."

"What for?"

"We were in high school, and we got caught stealing a few things nothing serious." Elliot replies shrugging his shoulders.

"Going to jail is very serious Elliot especially if it gets on your permanent record which it did, so what makes you think you can take care of a four year old?"

"For starters since that one time I have never returned to jail." He responds gearing the conversation to me.

"That is a point, so Ally I also understand that you went to jail again not to long ago for buying and selling illegal drugs?"

"Yep."

"Why?"

"I needed the money so could take care of Amber." I respond

"Did you ever use them?"

"No. That's why they didn't keep in there for longer." I explain simply.

"Huh I see. Well I have gotten through enough questions for today, so I'll see you guys again in a few days." Jake says standing up. That seemed shorter then I thought it would be. "Until next time." He says as he leaves the room. I'm about to follow him out as well.

"Where are you going so fast?" Elliot asks

"I have to go pick up Amber." I tell him leaving him and that potential stripper behind, but I look back and see that Elliot is behind me, and I take it as an opportunity to actually talk to him without Emily tagging along. "What's the real reason you want her? You never even took care of her when we were still together."

"It's the same reason I told Jake in there." He says simply

"That's bullshit Elliot and you know it. You were just a capable as I was when you signed those papers and when I left. You had a chance to keep us but you didn't, and why can't you and blondie just have a kid since you two are getting married?"

"We both can't take care of babies we would probably loose our minds." He says and I just roll my eyes.

"It's probably going to happen anyway."

"And how are you so sure?"

"Oh come on look where we are. In a courthouse fighting for custody for the kid that we had in high school. Your still that irresponsible seventeen year old. Look I have one more question."

"What is it?" He asks crossing his arms.

"Is she the girl you were cheating on me with?" I asks seriously. The question catching him off guard. He probably didn't know that I knew.

"Why does it matter?" He asks

"I just want to know Elliot. If you tell me or not I'm still using it against you in there." I say gesturing to the room.

"Yes. We started seeing each other officially after you left."

"Bye I gotta go." I says, but as I turn to walk away Elliot slips something into my hand. I turn back around and I open my hand to look what he put in it, and I see a small box of cigarettes not more then three or four in there.

"Are you insane!" I whisper yell at him. "What would make you think it's okay to bring this in here of all places!? Besides you know I don't do this anymore."

"Oh come on Als you've been off of it for long enough I think you can handle it and besides you don't expect me to believe that you didn't use those drugs you were selling do you?"

"Fuck you." I say before stuffing the pack of cigarettes in my pockets planning on throwing it away, and walk away.


"My ex's aunt has blonde hair." I say to Austin, and he just looks up at me weird.

"Um...? Congratulations?" He says obviously confused.

"Your question about where Amber got her blonde hair from I never got to answered it." I say smiling.

"Oh."

"Thanks again by the way Amber had a great time."

"And what about you, did you have a good time?" He asks looking at me.

"That was the most fun I've had in a long time thank you." I say, and he just smiles. I head upstairs to the break room to get another box to empty. Once I get in the room I hear my phone start to ring when I pick it up I see that it is Amber's teacher.

Ally/ the teacher

Hello...? I answer slowly

Hi is this Ms. Dawson, Amber's mom? She asks speedily making me start to worry

Yes is everything okay?

No it's Amber. She's headed to the hospital. My heart stops

I'm on my way. I say hanging up and rushing down the stairs.

"I have to go." I say to Austin as I rush past him.

"Whoa Abby what's wrong is everything okay?" He says holding my hand stopping me from going any further.

"I just have to go Austin so please..." I say my mind everywhere at once.

"Abby please tell me what's going on." He says looking really worried

"It's Amber she's in the hospital." I say my heart racing at the sound of me saying it out loud.

"I'll give you a ride." He says we both just leave the store.

"Do you know what happened?" Austin asks looking over at my from the drivers seat. All I so is shake my head, because all I can do is hope that Amber's okay.

"Breath Abby." Austin tells me. I didn't even realize I was holding my breath. "She's going to be okay."

"How do you know?" I ask looking over at him.

"Because she's strong." He says as we park in the hospital parking lot, and I rush out Austin following behind.

"What happened? Where is she!?" I ask Ambers teacher after seeing once I entered the building.

"She was playing outside for recess, and all of a sudden she fell and was having a really hard time breathing, and started coughing and wheezing so I tried her inhaler, but it didn't work so we called the ambulance. We think there was someone smoking or something on the other side of the street and she took in the smoke. The nurses took her in to check her out." The lady explains to Austin and I

"Oh my God." I say and go over to the lady at the front desk. "Hi I'm the mom of Amber the four year old that just came in can I please go in and see her."

"I'm sorry, but no one is allowed in to see her right now. They have decided to hospitalize her, because she is in a severe state." The lady at the front desk says calmly.

"What do you mean I can't see my own child!? I need to see her!"

"I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do."

"Well find something that you can do!" I yell at her.

"Abby come on." Austin says gently guiding me away from the desk.

"No Austin I need to know if my baby girl's okay!" I say walking toward the door that see nurses going in and out of. "I need to see her."

"No Abby wait." Austin says pulling me back by the waist

"No. Let me go Austin!" I say as I fight against his hold until I finally give up and he pulls me into a hug my head just resting on his chest his arms wrapped around me as I try to keep back my tears.

"I'm sorry." I hear the teacher say.

"Thanks" Austin says to her still holding me. "Hey it's going to be okay. She's going to be okay." Austin says softly after I assume the lady has left, and he just strokes my hair down softly with his hand. My head is still buried into his chest, my hair hiding my face when I get to overwhelmed and I can't hold back the tears anymore and I start to sob softly in Austin's arms.

"It's going to be okay. Everything's going to be fine." Austin says to me softly.

I just hope he's right.
