Three weeks later

Charley accompanied Athena, supporting her during her divorce procedure as they waited in the waiting room. While Marion and Peter chose to remain with the bros. They wish not to see their father, their trauma and scars were still raw and fresh. Athena's too but she had to be strong now. Not only for herself, but for her children.

"You are doing the right thing." Charley assured, supporting. Athena smiled. "I know. I'm glad you're with me." Charley smiled.

"Of course, throttle would too but it only upset the outcome if he saw him again." Athena nodded, agreeing.

"We are ready for you." the officer announced. Charley held Athena's hand, supporting her as they stood up and entered the room. Seeing the judge. Looking over the evidence and kindly insisted.

"I am aware, you wish not to be called Mrs Stine's but for present time. Just this once, I will and proceed with the hearing to grant your request."

Judge Alison mead politely said. Athena answered. "Thankyou judge."

Taking her seat, Charley followed and listened to the evidence which Athena had given. Charley couldn't stop the tears, wetting her cheeks. Her heart began to become heavy and break, her anger arose too. The judge was so deeply sympathetically empathic. Two hours later, the judge requested Athena to return to her seat and while she completed, signed the papers then entwined her fingers as she announced, giving her verdict of the case.

"With hearing all evidence from the victim, Marie Stine's. Whom she has requested to be known as Athena matheson and soon to be thorneboy. As it is invested in me by the law of this court. I grant all request of Ms matheson. Congratulations you are now officially divorced from Jack Stine's and you have one hundred percentage sole parental custody and rights of both children and their names, I have been requested not to name out thier names for privacy reasons and legal procedures. This hearing is now closed."

Athena covered her mouth, joyous tears streamed down her cheeks as she was embraced by Charley, congratulating her. While judge mead hammered down the hammer to officially close the case. The newly sisters to be walked out the court room. Waiting outside, in the laneway nearby. Throttle, his bros and the children.

Officer Dodson smiled and nodded. Athena smiled, hugged him. Dodson was surprised, smiled and returned the embrace. "Congratulations, you are a free woman now."

Athena smiled and looked across the road to throttle as he waited. "Yes, free but soon to be the woman I should be."

Dodson tilted his head, confused then sighed and smiled. "Shall we?" holding his arm open to lead the way over. Athena and Charley agreed and accepted Dodson's company to walk over. Charley hurried to Vinnie, embraced her close and kissed her passionately, while he caressed her growing abdomen. And expressed happiness as he felt his unborn child, move about with in and as their lips parted.

"How are my girls?" he asked. Charley smiled. "We're good."

"Girls?" Dodson wondered. "How do you know?" Charley glanced Dodson. "Call it, a mother's intuition."

"Oh? I see." Dodson smiled. Athena nuzzles throttle's hand as he caressed her cheek. "You ok?" he asked.

She glanced softly. "I am now." throttle smiled and kissed her. Dodson commented. "You are one lucky man."

Athena leaned her temple upon throttle's cheek as she replied. "Mouse, martian mouse actually."

Dodson smiled. "Congratulations to you both. Many blessings for the future and I am very sorry about your friend, Athena."

"Mikey, is in a better place. Louis is too." Athena answered. "When is the funeral?" he asked.

"Tomorrow, upstate."

"Be careful,ok."

"Promise, thankyou Dodson."

"See you around, take care." Dodson turned on his heel and walked away two steps before throttle, called out with a request.

"Dodson." throttle called, Athena climbed on behind him. Dodson stopped, turned back and answered. "Yes throttle."

"I have one request."

"Name it." Dodson answered. "I wish to speak to jack." Dodson smiled. "Leave it with me and I'll make the arrangements." throttle nodded.

Dodson resumed walking and the freedom fighters with thier women and children rode away, disappeared. Dodson smiled, rose a closed fist up above and shouted.

"Rock and ride!" The bros echoed replied. "Ride free citizen."
