So um, kinda a TMI, but I sorta threw up today at soccer practice because I'm like, just that awesome. And so I decided that because I'd rather do this, than anything else that included the sun, heat, or movement, I'd write another chapter. Maybe not a long one cuz I wanna get this done tonight. But then again I mind as well stay up late.

I hate the law, so I'm not sure how all this works. Although I have watched a lot of judge Judy.

Barry was shocked to hear that Iris wanted to go to court. He never thought she would make this much of a deal out of it. Three days ago, she didn't give a crap. But now she just thinks that she can have custody and take them whenever she pleases. Barry's a nice person, but she just pushes her boundaries too far. He has no clue how this will go. He will just have to wait.

The next morning he was more tense that usual. He got everyone breakfast and made sure everyone was happy before they went to the court house. He wasn't sure how Iris got them in so quickly, but he'd go for it. He had to bring the kids, Joe, the doctors the delivered the twins and just the close people in their lives. Barry got the three musketeers to come too.

" Barry Allen, is it true you have had complete custody of your children for the past 2 1/2 years?" The judge said to him.

" Yes, that is correct,"

" And what have you been doing all this time, Ms.West?" The judge shifted in his chair.

" I have had to visit several shrinks after they left and I've just been taking a mental health time," Iris tried to smile, but she knew her statement sucked.

" And what was the reasoning for Barry here to take full and complete custody of them?"

Iris didn't want to answer this, but she was under oath.

" I wasn't mentally stable, I wasn't thinking clearly, and our family and doctors though it would be best if Barry were to leave with our kids."

" And what's the reasoning for wanting to have custody now?" he asked.

" I just think I've waited long enough, and I want to be part of their lives." Iris said satisfied.

" And what do you think about Ms. West wanting custody Mr. Allen?"

" I wouldn't prefer that she doesn't because I don't know how mentally stable she is. I don't want our children who are 3 and two 2 year olds, staying with someone who doesn't think straight or clearly. I'm just concerned about giving her a demand and complete legal right to see our kids. She was the one that told me to leave, and too the doctors believed that it'd be best if she not be near them,"

" And when was this?"

" March 23rd, two days after the twins were born,"

" Can the doctor please come up here and confirm the following?"

The doctor came up to the stand and didn't look nervous at all. Lucky him.

" What do you believe, in your professional opinion, should be do?" The judge asked the doctor.

" I believe Ms. West had made some progress, but I don't believe that in her mental state she could handle caring for three toddlers even with all the help she has," the grey bearded man said.

" And how much help do you have?"

Iris knew she had a whole crew, so this shouldn't be a problem.

" I have my father, his wife, my brother, and two friends. We are close and they are always around if I needed it." Iris smiled politely.

" How many other kids are you guys taking are of?"

" My father has a 1 1/2 year old," Iris said.

" And you Barry, how much help do you have? And how many children live in your usual home set up?"

"I have my 3 friends, Tom, Charlie, and Gardener. Their parents often come to help us out if ever needed. We have a system that we follow and it works. Just the three of us take care of 5 children, and it seems to be working. And if ever needed we have babysitters, and two young girls that love to help with the youngers."

" You both seem to have pretty good help, so that's not an issue,"

The judge sat and thought about his decision for a moment. Whenever he seemed to have made up his mind, he just goes back to thinking.

" Okay, I've made up my mind." He continued," Barry will keep complete custody of the children, but Iris West will have the authority and right to see them at least once a year for several hours. Although whenever and wherever is up to Barry. He can let you see them more often, but only under his authority. That is my plaintiff, court room closed," He said while banging the thingy. Everyone started to murmur and people started to leave.

This is what Barry wanted right? He couldn't help feel awful for the way things turned out. But the opposing option was worse. They would have to make this work.

I think only one more chapter after this. Idk, I'm at my friends house so there won't be another till later tomorrow or the next day. Idk anymore.
