One Month After Kaile Was Born…

It was a typical Friday morning at Brandon and Kelly's house, Cassie was eating breakfast at the table with Brandon before he took her to school and Kelly was in the living room feeding Kaile. As soon as Cassie was done with her bowl she got up and took it over to the sink to rinse it out before she went into the living room to say goodbye to Kelly and Kaile.

"You ready to go kido?" Brandon asked as he took the car keys off their hook by the front door.

"Yeah I just have to get my backpack from room." Cassie said as she got off the couch and went upstairs.

"Are you going to tell her what we are doing this afternoon?" Kelly asked looking up at him for a moment.

"I thought we could tell her together." Brandon said as the front door opened and in came Dylan and Brenda.

"Well if that isn't the luckiest baby in the world." Dylan said as he noticed Kelly was still feeding Kaile.

"Excuse me!" Brenda said elbowing him in the side.

"Ouch what was that for?" Dylan said knowing exactly what it was for.

"I think you know!" Brenda said just as Cassie was coming back downstairs.

"Know what?" Cassie asked as she walked over to where Kelly was sitting so that she could give her a hug.

"Hey Cassie how would you like to get out of school a little early today?" Brandon asked trying to get off the subject.

"Why do I need to get out of school early?" She asked not really wanting to leave early, she really loved school.

"Because we are going down to the courthouse today…" Kelly started.

"So that I can adopt you and Grandpa Walsh can't make you call me Brandon anymore!" Brandon said knowing that she hated having to call him Brandon.

"Yeah I wanna get out early!!!" Cassie shouted.

"Ssshhh… remember we have to be quiet when Kaile is around." Kelly reminded her.

"Sorry Mommy." Cassie said as she quickly gave her a hug and kiss, and ran out the front door.

Cassie wanted to get this particular school day over and done with because she wanted to go over to Casa Walsh and tell Grandpa Walsh that she was legally his grandchild, and she could call Brandon Daddy and it would be the truth. Brandon drove her to school and dropped her off at the front doors before he headed to work at the Beverly Beat.

Beverly Beat Newsroom…

Steve had taken the money his dad had given him to rebuild the paper and make it something worth reading and Brandon had decided that he was going to help him run it. Manly because Steve had no idea about what he was doing, plus Brandon hadn't had any luck getting a job with any other paper. It was time something good happened and that is what brought him to work that morning.

"Hey man… you're here early." Brandon commented when he saw Steve sitting at his desk.

"Layout is due by four today… I figured I would get a head start on it… what do you think?" Steve asked as Brandon came over to look at what he had done so far.

"I think the park fire should be on the front page instead of page four, and the Hollywood Hotspot should be moved into its space." Brandon said as he switched the two.

"Okay now all we need is something to fill this blank space right here." Steve pointed to page two where Brandon's editorials usually went.

"Don't worry, I have the perfect editorial for that… I'll have it to you before I leave." Brandon said as he walked over to his desk and turned on his computer.

"Wait, why do you have to leave early?" Steve asked totally forgetting he had been told last week.

"I'm adopting Cassie this afternoon remember? I told you last week." Brandon said looking over at him.

"I totally forgot… That's really today?" Steve said trying to remember when he was told.

"Yeah I have to pick her up at one from school then I have to run home to get Kelly and Kaile so that we can be at the courthouse by two thirty." Brandon said opening a file he had been working on.

The Beach Apartment

Kelly had taken Kaile over to the Beach Apartment because she was helping Donna with the clothing line she had been working on since Kaile was born. She had thought that since two of her friends had children that it would be neat to start a kid's line and see if she could get anyone to buy it. Kelly and Andrea had both offered to help in anyway that they could, and right now Donna needed Hannah and Kaile to see if the clothes she designed fit them.

"Oh Donna these are so adorable!" Andrea said as she held up one of the outfits Donna had made for Hannah to try on.

"You did a great job with these… can I keep this one?" Kelly asked holding up her favorite outfit.

"Let's just see if it fits her first!" Donna said a little frazzled because this was her future they were working on.

"Calm down… everything is going to go great with the buyers next week… and I already told you that Cassie and Erin with both model for you." Kelly said as Donna relaxed a little.

"Hannah will to… It's going to be great." Andrea added as she helped Hannah put on one of the outfits.

At about noon all of the outfits and been tried on and Donna was just finishing a few small adjustments to a few of the items because they were a little big on Kaile. As soon as she finished with the last outfit she sighed as she sat down next to Kelly on the couch. Andrea was standing in the kitchen making some sandwiches for all of them before Kelly had to get back to her place to meet Brandon.

"Lunch is served." Andrea said bringing the sandwiches over to them.

"Thanks guys!" Donna said glad that she had friends that where willing to go to all this trouble to make sure that she succeeded in what she was doing.

"Don't mention it… and I'll bring Cassie and Erin by tomorrow so that we can make sure their clothes fit." Kelly said as she ate her sandwich and rocked Kaile's carrier with her foot.

"This is going to work right?" Donna said still panicking about next week.

"Don't worry… it'll work… trust me!" Kelly said giving her friend a hug. "Now I gotta go… I promised Brandon that I would be home to meet him." She said as she grabbed the rest of Kaile's things and headed out the door.

The Courthouse…

Brandon pulled the car up to the front doors of the courthouse to let Kelly and the kids out before he went to find a parking space. Once they were all together again they found the place that they were supposed to be and now all they had to do was wait. Cassie was sitting on Brandon's lap looking around curiously, and Kelly was rocking baby Kaile in her arms trying to keep her from crying.

"Is it our turn yet?" Cassie asked looking up at Brandon.

"Just about sweetie…" Brandon said as their lawyer walked up to them.

"Kelly, Brandon I'm so sorry I'm late." The lawyer said almost out of breath.

"It's okay Lindsay the case before ours ran late anyway." Kelly said as she nodded towards the closed courtroom doors.

"I'll go check and see how much longer it's going to take… Kelly did you need feed her?" Lindsay asked noticing that Kaile was getting a little fussy.

"Yeah it's getting close to the time she normally eats." Kelly said as she looked up at the clock.

"Why don't you head down this hall… there is a nursing area at the end of the hall on the right… I'll see what's taking so long and I will come and get you when it's time." Lindsay said as she smiled at the baby in Kelly's arms.

"Thank you." Kelly said as she took Kaile down the hall.

Forty minutes later they were finally able to see the judge and get Dan's rights terminated so that Brandon could officially adopt Cassie. Everyone was antsy and just wanted to get out of there, including the judge… this was his last case for the night and he had a game he had to be at with his own son.

"Okay let's make this quick." The judge stated as he stamped the adoption certificate. "Cassie Lynn Taylor, can you step up to the bench?" The judge said smiling at the eight year old.

"Go ahead sweetie." Kelly said letting her know that it was okay.

"Do you want this man to be your dad?" The judge asked just wanting to know her answer.

"Yes!" She said excited that this was almost over.

"Then I guess you would like your new name now." The judge said glancing at the time.

"Yes please." Cassie said politely.

"Cassie Lynn Walsh you are welcome to go home with your Mom and… Dad!" The judge said as he watched her.

"Daddy!!!" Cassie said jumping up into Brandon's arms. "Thank you mister judge!" Cassie said as Brandon helped her onto his back.

The judge smiled as they all walked out of the courtroom. He was glad that he could make that little girl happy and even happier that he could get out of there and make his own son happy with that game they were going to. Lindsay gave both Kelly and Brandon a hug before they left the courthouse.

"Can we go home now?" Cassie asked.

"Yes we can!" Kelly said as they headed outside.

Once outside Brandon lifted Cassie back up onto his back and Kelly switched Kaile from her left arm into her right arm because her left arm was falling asleep. Soon Brandon and Cassie were heading to the car so that Kelly wouldn't have to wake Kaile up with the bright sun. Soon they would be on their way to Casa Walsh where a nice diner was waiting for them.

"Faster Daddy… Faster!" Cassie shouted as Brandon ran ahead to get the car.

The End
