Julie's POV

I can't believe my evil bitch mother took me all the way to court!

I mean I knew she was bad but this is a record even for her!

At least all the ducks were in the seats behind me. Not to mention my two babies who will never be taken away from me.

Plus I have the best lawyer in the world and the best part is he works for free because he is my old coach.

Yep it's coach Bombay.

I squeezed Portman's hand as my mother entered the court room and took a seat across from us.

"I hope that bitch burns in hell." Portman leaned over and whispered in my ear.

"Yeah me too." I said as I took another glance at my mother.

"All rise." The bailiff said and we all stood up from our seats.

The judge walked in and the bailiff said something else but I was preoccupied with my own thoughts to listen.

My mom's fancy lawyer got up and presented his case and I must say he did a very good job.

I wondered how my mom could have afforded such a good lawyer.

She probably slept with him.

The judge told Coach Bombay that he could begin and all that stuff.

"You're honor I have known these two young people for quite awhile now and they are two of the most responsible people I know. Just because they are teenagers doesn't mean a thing." He started. "There are more adults out there that are way worse parents then these two."

Bombay was so good I wondered why the court room wasn't burning down. He was on fire.

He was so determined to win this for us.

He got about two inched for my mother's face once and I saw the scowl on her face as he smirked.

She knew she was being beat.

I just hoped the jury hadn't done drugs the night before or anything because any sane person would have stuck with his points.

They were both allowed a final testimony after Bombay was finished and then the jury went to vote or whatever.

"You did great." I said as Bombay came over and hugged me.

"Well believe me no one messes with some of my ducks like that." He said.

"Yeah well I have a feeling that even if she loses this she will find some way to try and get us." I said.

"Well don't worry because we are way stronger and smarter than her and she will never be able to take Matthew and Miracle away from us." Portman said.

We talked for a little while trying to take our minds off of what was really happening and then my mother walked over to us.

"Hello Julie." She said and I tried to hold back the anger that was raging inside of me.

"Hello mother." I said putting on a fake smile.

"You have a good lawyer there." She said referring to Bombay who was still standing right in front of me.

"Thank you." He said.

"But you should have stuck to coaching hockey because there is no way in hell you are going to win this case." She said.

"Oh really?" He asked and he got close to her face again just to make her mad. "Watch me."

He smirked as the anger was evident all over her face.

She went back and sat down and me, Portman, and Coach Bombay all laughed.

"That was a good one coach." Portman said still laughing.

"Thank you, thank you. I will be here all weekend." He said and took a bow.

Just then the jury walked back in and we were forced to become serious again.

I looked back to Matt and Miracle who were both sleeping soundly and I smiled.

"The jury has reached a unanimous decision that Julie and Portman should keep their children. Not guilty." The jury member said.

I jumped up and hugged Portman and the Bombay and then the rest of the ducks as they came and congratulated us.

My mother walked over once again as the ducks congregated around me and Portman and our babies.

"Julie this is not over yet. I will get those children if it is the last thing I do." She said and calmly walked off.

I didn't let it show how much that statement actually bothered me but inside it was killing me.

"Yeah I've heard that before." I said and laughed with the other ducks but inside I knew that she was really telling the truth.
