A/N: I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed my first story and the sequel! That really means alot and in appreciation of you guys here's your Part 3! :D

**************************************************************************** ***************

Part three of the series! Brian and Joey's trial/court date has arrived. Two months in the future.

OH! and Wyatt has already been born! He's a month old!

**************************************************************************** ***************

Two days and closing before the hardest days of Sam's life and she was a major wreck. Sam refused to eat, sleep or do anything after school or at night with her friends or with her Mom, Dad (Leo) or aunts.

"Sam! Will you please just eat something!" Piper pleaded for the seventh day in a row.

"Mom, I'm not hungry!" Sam insisted

"Sam, look at yourself!" Phoebe exclaimed "you're a mess"

Sam sighed "Whatever, I'm outta here" She said as she grabbed her backpack and went out the front door.

"Real settle Pheebs!" Piper sighed

"Sorry but it's true. The girl is really scared about Friday, we all know that! Look at the hell she's putting herself through! She's going to be even more aggravated today especially! The prosecution lawyer is coming over today to talk to her!"

"Yea, I think I know that Phoebe!" Piper snapped

The Manor went silent and Piper sighed again. "Sorry" She said softly

"It's okay, I can only imagine what you're going through. I better get to work"

"Yea. Me too" Paige said following suit with Phoebe.

"Bye guys, love you" Piper called

"Bye Piper! love you too! Bye Leo!" They both called back

"Bye!" Leo responded as the door closed. "So, what are you going to do today?"

"I don't know, just stay with you and Wyatt? The lawyer isn't coming until 2:45 and so I gotta pick Sam up around 1:30 or so, you know. Give her some time to get ready."

Leo nodded. "Okay"

**************************************************************************** ***************

At school - forty-five minutes later -

First period English was already underway and Sam couldn't really put her mind into her studies.

"Ms. Halliwell? Is there something more fascinating about your desk then there is with what I'm teaching?" The teacher Mr. Woods called from the front of the class.

"Uh, no sir, sorry"

The teacher nodded and started speaking to the class again.

Caitie leaned over to Sam and whispered to her. "Something up? English is like your favorite class?" (AN: I hate English! it was just the first class that pushed into my mind)

"I'm fine, just a little distracted is all"

"What's up?" She asked

"Nothing!"

"Are you sure?"

"YES!" Sam hissed

Caitie threw her arms up in defense and leaned back into her own desk.

Sam sighed and tried to concentrate again but felt it was impossible.

**************************************************************************** ***************

1:30 finally came for both Piper and Sam. Piper rushed up the stone familiar steps of Baker High to get Sam.

Piper paced to the school office and was greeted by the school secretary Mrs. Redman. She was a young secretary when Piper, Phoebe and Prue all attended Baker High and Piper wasn't surprised to still see there. Mrs. Redman had always loved her job.

"Hello Piper" She greeted

"Hello Mrs. Redman, how are you?"

"I'm fine thank-you, are you here to pick up your daughter? Uh Sarah is it?"

"Sam" Piper corrected "and yes, could you please page her? We're kinda in a hurry"

"Of course dear" Mrs. Redman smiled sweetly as she turned towards the PA system. "Would Samantha Halliwell please report to the front office"

Soon Sam strolled into the office and was relieved to find Piper there.

"You ready?" Piper asked

Sam nodded and they left.

**************************************************************************** ***************

Piper and Sam soon arrived at the Manor and Sam headed towards her room.

By 2:45 Sam had changed her clothes, taken another shower and against her freewill taken a short nap. When Piper gave her a glass of juice she had slipped in a small dosage of sleeping potion that she had made earlier in the morning.

She didn't enjoy tricking Sam into sleeping but it was for her own good.

Sam, Piper and Leo sat around the living room waiting as Sam got even more nervous. Soon Paige and Phoebe burst through the door panting.

"Sorry we're late!"

"What are you guys doing here?!" Piper demanded

"We wanted to be here, with you guys so we took the afternoon off" Phoebe explained in between deep breaths.

"Okay, well you guys go get ready and whatever. The lawyer will be here any minute!" Leo exclaimed

Paige gave them a thumbs up and her and Phoebe trudged upstairs.

About five minutes later the doorbell rang. Piper went over to it and opened the door and was greeted by a average height female dressed in the three-part beige business suit. "Hello, I'm Kimberly Lewis, I'm looking for Samantha Matthews- Halliwell?"

"Uh, yea. Come on in. I'm Piper Halliwell-Wyatt. Sam's mother."

The two shook hands. "Nice to meet you Piper"

Kimberly walked into the Manor and was greeted by Leo and Sam.

"Hello, you must be Samantha?" Kim asked upon seeing Sam.

"Yes, that's me Samantha Halliwell." Sam shook her hand and Kim turned to Leo.

"Leo Wyatt, Sam's father and Piper husband"

"Nice to meet you Mr. Wyatt"

"Please. Call me Leo"

"Okay, well how about we all take a seat?" Kimberly suggested

Everyone sat around in a circle and waited for Paige and Phoebe.

"Sam's aunts and my sisters will be down shortly" Piper explained

Kim nodded. "How about we go over the basics first?"

Sam nodded and but her lip.

"Well, Samantha I -"

"Sam please" Sam interrupted

"Okay Sam. I don't know what you've heard or been told so far but here are the facts. Brian O'Neil and Joseph Harris are both in the Juvenile Correctional Center. Thomas Hill and Sarah and Kyle Lewis have all been released under the watch of their parents and they can't be caught doing illegal for three years. Or else they get 5-10 in prison or if they're under 18 then they are in until they turn 18 and then there's a trial. Brian and Joseph are both over 18 so that's why they're having a trial."

At this point Paige and Phoebe came downstairs. "Uh Miss. Lewis, these are my sisters and Sam's aunts Paige and Phoebe Halliwell.

"Hello" Kim greeted as she took both their hands. "I'm Kimberly Lewis"

"Nice to meet you" Phoebe and Paige both replied as they took their seats.

"I was just going over the basics with your niece here." Kim explained

"Please continue" Phoebe said

"Very well. Uh Sam, both Brian and Joseph have confessed to the charges of your assault and to drug dealing. They said the murder of Tyler Dawson was accidental and that they were too scared to come forward so we couldn't get them on that or on the charges of rape due to the fact that you all consented at the time. I know you were all scared of what would happen if you didn't but I'm sorry, it wouldn't hold up"

Sam swallowed and nodded.

"Now the defense is going to call you, Alyssa and Luke all to the stand. They're going to ask really hard questions that may sting a little or that may bring to back memories for you but you just have to answer them the best you can and be totally honest. Okay?"

Sam nodded again.

"Alright, now do you have any questions?"

Sam shook her head along with anyone else.

"Alright then, I'll meet you all at the courthouse on Friday at 1, have a good day"

Piper stood up with Kim and shook her hand again. "Thanks for coming Miss. Lewis."

"Not a problem, goodbye"

"Bye" Piper called back

**************************************************************************** ***************

Friday afternoon -

Piper and Sam all sat in Piper's jeep outside the courthouse. Paige and Phoebe each had to be late so when Phoebe was done she was going to call for Paige and Paige would orb them both to the courthouse. Leo was watching Wyatt.

Sam sighed and looked up at the building in front of her.

"You ready?"
