(Chapter-20)

For the next several days Faith had the schools Lawyers work so Shego and Heather could adopt Molly. They knew there would be a hearing, but what they didn't count on was a Judge that would be a total ass towards Gay and Lesbian couples. They sat in the Court Room as the Judge started the hearing, "This case is to determine whether Shego and Heather Lang are fit to be Molly Walkers parents. I want you to know right now, I have doubts that you will be granted the right to adopt her. The reason for this is your sexual lifestyle, I feel a child should never be raised by a Gay or Lesbian couple. I feel they need to be raised in a proper home that will give them a mother and father. But California Law states I must give a fair hearing to all perspective couples."

Shego sat there stunned that her, Heather and Molly's worst fear's may come true. She sat there as the Judge continued, "Further more, if adoption is denied which I believe it will. The child will then be removed from the school and then placed into foster care until an appropriate family is found to adopt her." For the first day they had to sit through listening to the other side. They had to endure listening how perverted they were and how their life style will damage Molly's Psychological and possibly her Physical well being. And that the adoption should be denied.

The Judge dismissed the Court til the next day where the other side will finish their arguments. And then the Lawyers for the 'School For Troubled And Gifted Young Girls' will make their case.

That evening Shego and Heather put the children to bed and were now sitting in the living room with Anne and Laura.

Shego looked up with tears rolling down her face, "I don't know Anne, I don't know what I'll do if I lose Molly. I know I have my other children, but I also need Molly."

Anne got up and sat next to Shego and took her in her arms and held her as she cried, "I want you to listen to me. You can't go around thinking the worst all the time. Hell if you did that, half the missions you guys go on would fail."

Shego nodded.

Anne looked at the two, "Now go to bed you, have to be in Court tomorrow morning."

Both Shego and Heather went to bed to get some sleep.

The next day was worse, the other Lawyers were calling them everything in the book and the Judge never once stopped them. The Judge broke for lunch and said after lunch the school's Lawyers will then make their case.

Shego and Heather sat in a cafe down the street from the Courthouse, Shego took a drink of her tea when a young woman walked up, "Excuse me are you Shego and Heather Lang?"

Shego looked up, "Is there something we can do for you."

The woman showed her badge. "No, but there's something I can do for you."

Shego looked at Heather, "And what might that be?"

The woman sat at a table across from them, "I Agent Michele Gray, I've been investigating the Judge you're seeing."

Shego sat her ice tea down, "What for?"

The woman smiled, "For some time now the Judge has made it very clear about his feelings towards Gays and Lesbians. During his time on the bench, he has had over five hundred cases where Gay and Lesbian couples have filed to adopt a child. And out of all those cases, not one was allowed to adopt. We also believe the Lawyers for the opposing side have been hired by the Judge."

Shego looked shocked, "Isn't that illegal?"

Agent Grey nodded. "Very much so. Which is why while he's out to lunch, we'll be checking his chambers for the evidence needed to arrest him."

Heather snorted, "Good luck cause most Judges eat their lunch in the chambers."

Agent Grey smiled. "Not this Judge, he likes to go down by the river walk to a Hotdog Stand there and have three Hotdogs, Chips and two Sodas. We'll be in and out and he won't know we were there. All I'm doing..." before Agent Grey could finish her cell phone rang, "...Grey here...(We got it. We have enough on him to give him a nice vacation with some nice con who'll take extra care on teaching the ways of Prison Love to the Judge)...Good we'll make the arrest when he starts Court. What about the others?...(Hell, he has detailed records of moneys he paid to them, what cases they had. The list goes on and on)...Damn this is better then planned. I'll see you at the Courts."

Shego could tell it was good news, "So?"

Agent Grey smiled. "If you ever wanted to see a Judge kicking and screaming all the way to jail? now's your chance."

Back at the Courts the Agents had a Secondary Judge and Lawyers standing by so they can take over the Court when they made the arrests. Everyone was back in the Court as if nothing was wrong.

The Judge picked up his gavel and banged the desk, "This Court is now back in session."

That's when the Agents moved in.

Agent Grey stepped up first, "Your Honor, may we have a moment please?"

The Judge sighed and nodded and motioned them forward.

Agent Grey and an old friend of the school Agent Forrest Taft stepped forward, "Your Honor, I'm Michele Gray with the U.S. Justice Department, we have a Warrant for your arrest and the arrests for the Lawyers that you have hired to represent the State."

Shego and Heather smiled as the Judge's eyes were getting wider and wider as the charges were read off to him and his accomplices.

When they led them away Taft stayed behind to talk to Shego, "Hello Shego, how are you?"

Shego stood and gave a friendly hug to Agent Taft, "I'm doing good, Me and Heather were hoping to adopt Molly here, but that Judge made it almost impossible now."

Taft smiled. "I don't think you'll have anything to worry about with this Judge or the other Lawyers. They're just gonna make sure everything is in order before making a decision."

Shego smiled, "Ok."

Taft gave Shego a small hug, "Well I better go before they think I took a job here. So you take care."

Shego smiled, "You to Forrest."

Agent Taft left and just as he said the Judge and the new Lawyers were there to make sure everything was in order. The Judge looked up and smiled, "I have finished going over all the paperwork and I find nothing wrong with this couple's application to adopt Molly Walker. There for it is my greatest honor to announce that Molly Walker is hear by now the daughter of Shego and Heather Lang."

Molly jumped into the arms of both Shego and Heather hugging and then kissing them on their cheeks. She then pulled back and turned to the judge, "Your Honor you got my last name wrong. It's not Walker anymore it's now Lang."

The Judge smiled, "Oh, well excuse the mistake Miss. Lang."

Everyone laughed.

Shego looked at her new daughter, "You ready to go home sweetie?"

Molly nodded with tears, "You bet I'm ready. I can't wait to get home to be with my new mommies."

Thirty minutes later the three were blasting their horn up the road to the Main Building.

Faith and Buffy came out smiling.

Faith leaned into Buffy, "I think some people are very happy."

Buffy nudged Faith, "What make you think that?"

Shego stopped the car in front of the Main Building and the three got out. Shego did a flip over the front of the car, "It's official, Molly's now our daughter."

Molly ran up to Faith and Buffy gave them each a hug and kiss, "Thank you Aunt Faith, Thank You Aunt Buffy."

The two women couldn't believe what they just heard but took in stride.

Faith took Molly into her arms and hugged and kissed her back, "Oh, you're very welcome Molly."

Buffy knelt down and did the same.

Shego walked up and placed her hands on Molly's shoulders, "Ok young lady it's time to go home, you need to get a bath and get ready for bed. You have school in the morning."

Molly rolled her eyes, "I haven't been adopted for a day and I still have to go to school."

Shego nodded her head quickly while smiling., "That's right, we wouldn't be good mothers if we didn't make sure you got an education."

Shego walked up to Faith and Buffy thanking them for all the help they gave.

Faith and Buffy watched the happy family pull away and head home.

Buffy looked up at Faith, "You think they'll be fine?"

Faith smiled, "Not only do I think they'll be fine, but they're gonna be one of the best families this school has."

The two laughed.

Buffy took Faith's hand and pulled her towards their car, "Come on I think our own bed wants us to give it a workout."

Faith wiggled her eyebrows, "Oh, we sure will give it a workout."
