11. Court and Sammy little sister

Chapter 11

The custody hearing and a surprise

The week leading up to court was crazy Artie would leave school early to go either his mom's or dad's workplace and get Samantha to take her to glee rehearsal so she could practice Daddy's girl with the glee club, and Mr. Schue figured since she is going to be with Artie that she comes in with him. On top of that Samantha had to be fitted for her costume she was going to wear with the club when she was on stage with them.

The day of the court hearing Artie got up, and got Samantha up fed her breakfast after breakfast got her ready, and got himself ready to go. He left the house at nine o clock on the nose to get to the courthouse to wait to see Judge Alex. While they waited the court had a little playroom for little kids to play, so Artie took her to go play for a little bit until they got called. After thirty minutes of playing they were called into the courtroom when they entered the courtroom Samantha sees her mom in there and she gets scared, so Artie holds her close to him to protect her from her mean mommy.

Judge Alex calls the court to order, and he says that they are here to hear the adoption hearing of a Mr. Arthur Abrams who is going to be adopting a Miss Samantha Clark who is a one year old female. The he says now January do you know the reason why we are here today, and January shakes her head no. Well we are here on your tenth child endangerment charge, and that you left your daughter Samantha at McKinley high and you abandon her, and you left your three month old daughter in another state.

When Artie hears that Samantha has a sister he was shocked beyond belief, and he is wondering if he can care for two little girls at the same time. Then the judge goes on saying Artie here found her and is willing to adopt her and properly care for her do you understand January, and January shakes her head no. Well January you are dismissed to go to your hearing about this, and you may not get custody of Samantha back or your other daughter. After January leaves Judge Alex gets the adoption hearing under way well Artie Judge Alex says by the looks of all these papers from your glee club members, your teachers at school, and your parents, and your glee club teacher that you have properly cared for her over the course of these few months, and you have bought her everything that she needs. Artie nods and says yes your honor.

The judge sees that Samantha has had tubes in her ears to help with the drainage, and she has begun her round of immunizations, and he says yes your honor she has begun getting her shots as of her last doctor's visit that she had. Now Artie could you bring Samantha up here please Judge Alex says. Artie lifts Sammy of his lap and puts her on the chair next to the judge. The judge asks Samantha some questions about how this compares with being with her old mom she even shows him how much that she loves Artie. Then after much deliberation Artie so far as I can tell the judge says I am giving you full custody of Samantha Bridget Abrams, and her other sister who is waiting outside with one of the social workers. Then as soon as Artie hears that he is overwhelm with joy so much he begins to cry.

You hear that Sammy you can call me daddy now instead of Artie. Right away Samantha starts calling him Daddy which he loves. After they leave the courtroom they go out and meet the social worker who has Samantha's other sister. Once the social worker sees them she goes up to him and says you must be Artie she says, and Artie nods. I would like you to meet Samantha's little sister who does not have a name. When the social worker hands him the baby he just looks at the baby in his arms and the name that comes to his mind for her is Annabelle Liberty Abrams which Samantha loves the name for her little sister. After Artie signs the paper to adopt her he has Sammy walk beside him as he holds Annabelle.

When Artie gets to his car he sees he doesn't have proper car seat for Annabelle to sit in, so before he heads to McKinley he makes a pit stop at Babies r us to pick up a carrier car seat, and see if Sammy's wants a big girl bed to sleep in. On the way to Babies R Us Artie asks Sammy if she wants a big girl bed to sleep in, and he tells her the reason why. Sammy is cool with it she nods her head up and down and bounces in her car seat. Reaching Babies R Us Artie unbuckles Annabelle from the seat belts and gets Sammy out of her car seat. Artie spots a cart he can use to put the girls in, and together they set off into the store.

First stop that they make is to look at beds since Artie has been saving his tips from Breadstixs to get her bed he lets Sammy pick out the bed she wants she picks out a princess castle bed that is on sale and has the mattress with it. Then they set off to go look at car seats, and anything else that he needs for Annabelle. After paying for their purchases he puts Annabelle car in the buckles her in while Sammy buckles herself in. Before they head to McKinley for glee practice since Mr. Schue wanted to have an all-day glee rehearsal to run through the number for tomorrow. He makes a pit stop at his house to change his clothes and put everything away for now. Once Artie has changed clothes he and Samantha and Annabelle start heading to McKinley to tell everyone the good news.

When they get there instead of having her in his lap as always he has her hold his hand while he has Annabelle in his lap, and together they cross the parking lot and into the school. After getting inside the school Sammy stays right by Artie as he rolls slowly to the auditorium when Quinn sees them she goes straight to Artie to help him in the auditorium.

When Sammy sees Kurt she runs as fast as she can into his arms, and when Artie gets there he has an announcement to make, and everyone all ears for this. Artie says he is the proud father of Samantha Bridget Abrams, but wait there's more he says he explains how Sammy has a little sister, so he introduces Annabelle Liberty Abrams to the group.

Mr. Schue picks up Annabelle so Artie can take his place for the run through, and he asks Sammy if she would like to color some pictures, and she says yes. When it was time for Daddy's girl Mr. Schue took takes Sammy up to be with Artie for this one while he holds Annabelle. The first full rehearsal with Samantha, with that number went great, and better the expected, and since they were having trouble coming up with the number to perform Sammy suggest doing a song from The Lion King, which she watched that week with Artie. Since Annabelle is in the picture now the Glee club settles on Circle of Life. Before going home Artie asks one of the girls to accompany him back to Babies R Us to pick out a dress for Annabelle to wear on stage that goes with the costumes, and to pick out shoes for the both of them to wear. First stop is dresses for Annabelle since Rachel and Kurt volunteered to come.

Since the colors are going to be red and black for the performance they pick out a lovely red dress with a black cardigan for her to wear. Next was shoes Sammy picks out red Mary Jane's to wear, and Artie finds a black pair of Mary Jane's for Annabelle. Since they were going by bus Artie gets two blankets for the girls to cover up with.
