AN by the way I don't own anything fifty shades of grey related such as any of E.L James's characters or storylines. HOWEVER I do own Nevaeh and anything different from the series blah blah blah ya'll get the point. Lol
Secondly this is just a short chapter for you guys it's the actual adoption I have no idea how court works so just bear with me okay? It's fanfiction after all... that gets me a pass right… right? … LOL I love ALL of you guys so much seriously you have made me so happy with your responses. All mistakes are mine I don't have a beta.
I looked in the mirror as I finished straightening out my Windsor knot. With a black suit, white shirt, black tie, and black leather Gucci shoes I'd say I was dressed properly for court. Today was finally Saturday and Nevaeh would officially be a Grey. After our chat last week I couldn't be more excited. I explained to Nevaeh that I was even adopted but I didn't mention my childhood. I just didn't feel like my five year old daughter needed any more burdens to carry. I wanted to focus on her getting healthy mentally and emotionally. I head out to meet my security.
I see Taylor in the foyer and follow him out to the car. Eric and Connie would be meeting us at the courthouse with Nevaeh. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I couldn't believe the day had finally come where I would get to adopt my angel. When this all first started I was sure that Deborah would be giving us a hard time and I would be waiting 6 months to officially be Nevaeh's father. However thanks to my own dad it was able to go down within a month. I could never express my gratitude to my father it was impossible to put in words but I would try my hardest to show it in my actions from here on out.
Pulling up to the court house I take a minute to gather my thoughts before heading inside. My mind was in such a blur that I didn't even notice when my little ball of energy came barreling towards me.
"DADDY!" I can't repress the smile that lights up my face as my daughter jumps in to my embrace. Holding the back of her head I bury my nose in her hair and inhale. Just being able to hold her calms my nerves. Everything was going to be okay. Today was our day.
"Angel I have missed you so much. Todays the big day beautiful are you ready?" I feel myself growing more and more excited as I see her expression of joy.
"Daddy I'm so happy you're here. I can't wait to go home with you." Holding her in my arms I walk over to greet the Garners. I never really grew to like them but they took care of Nevaeh when I couldn't and for that I was grateful.
I turned as my father walked out and told us it was time. Swallowing my nerves I head in with an eager child in my arms. Once we enter we find our seat in the gallery as my father and Lawyer stay standing.
"I am under the impression that a Christian Grey is trying to gain legal custody of a Nevaeh Johnson. Legally making her his daughter in the eyes of the law. Will Mr. Grey please stand." I gently place Nevaeh down and stand as the judge addresses me.
"Mr. Grey what are your intentions with Miss Johnson? Are your intentions honorable? Please keep in mind any lies or omissions will cause you to be held in contempt."
"You're Honor I am well aware of the law and please understand that I have never and would never cause harm to Nevaeh. Never once have my intentions be less than honorable. I love that little girl with all my heart. The day I found her I knew that I had to help her. I knew that I could provide her with a home. More importantly she provided me with a purpose. My purpose is to cherish, love and respect her as my daughter and as a lady. My intentions are nothing more than to provide her with a father who will truly do anything to see her succeed and make her dreams come true." I swallow back my emotions as I talk. As cliché as I felt I knew that everything I said was the honest to God truth.
"I expect regular visits from Child services to ensure Nevaeh's wellbeing. That being side I grant Mr. Christian Grey the rights to Nevaeh Johnson now Nevaeh Grey. Congratulations on your new family." I feel the chaos around me as the wind escapes my lungs. That was it. Nevaeh was officially my daughter. Laughing in disbelief I turn around to see my angel crying in her seat. Walking over I pick her and kiss her forehead.
"You did it daddy. You saved me." I sobbed as she spoke to me. Oh sweet child you have got it all wrong. She was the one who has saved me. Saved me from a life of solitude. A life of pain and regrets. An most of all a life that was meaningless.
"No angel we did it." She hugs me tightly as I carry her out of the court room. Nothing could take the smile off my face. Not even the paparazzi that claimed the front of the building.
