Motions
Julia was in court today trying to obtain bail. Although she professed her "undying" love for Rick Stetler, she had made several male penpals fall in love with her and several had approached the court to pay her bail and "supervise" her in their custody on house arrest, if she were to be let out. Rick ironically didn't seem to feel betrayed, because he was doing the same with female penpals and getting the same offers. One of them had to get out. When that happened, and they were sure it would, their target would be double, both Kyle and his sibling. Ironically the family and the D.A. had managed to keep the gender and name of the new child a secret from Julia, Rick and their lawyers. It wasn't in anyway important to their defense in their cases. Although they knew Aimee had given birth to a healthy baby after a full term pregnancy. The attack inflicted on her hadn't permanently physically impacted her and hadn't caused any injury to her baby. The judge told both neither was going anywhere and their restrictions stayed in place.
"Don't think I don't see what you're trying to do," he said.
The date for Julia's trial remained the same. Three months from now. No date was officially set for Rick's trial, and if he kept making motions, the date couldn't be set. Julia's appeal regarding the rulings of the family court was also declined to be heard. She had made a last-minute request to that court to be sent regular photos of Kyle. The court had issued this opinion in denying her request.
"The child in question known by the initials, K.J.C., has been in the custody of his biological father H.C. in Dade County, since he were two-days-old. The biological mother J.A. relinquished custody and parental rights three days after giving birth, has never met or spent any time with the boy. J.A. was informed several times by multiple sources she had thirty days in which to change her mind and retain her parental rights. She choose not to do so. After this time elapsed the decision were final. H.C. subsequently married when K.J.C. was five years of age and the child was then legally adopted by his stepmother, A.C.
"K.J.C is now legally A.C.'s son. Thus J.A. is not entitled to any images or information regarding the boy. It is the choice of the legal parents whether to share this information. The court also notes that J.A. and two unrelated individuals are in jail awaiting trial for the attempted murders of both H.C. and A.C. . Access or information regarding the child would be likely be a danger to the boy's safety."
"Girl, why didn't you call me earlier?" Calleigh had finally called her friend with her news. "That's great!"
Aimee knew that most home pregnancy tests were accurate. She hoped that her friend didn't get that "reject" test and have a false positive. She and Eric had wanted this for such a long time; longer than Aimee and Horatio had known each other so a false positive would hurt much more. Horatio in particular knew how bad Eric Delko wanted to be a father. The young man adored Kyle and spent time with him whenever possible. He imagined how excited Eric was right now.
