"Ok I've heard both of your arguements and now I'd like to talk to Joey" Judge Michael Taylor said.

Both John and Miranda nodded and then the judge left the room. Joey was sitting in a room just off the courtroom he was coloring a picture.

"Hi Joey I'd like to ask you a few questions" Mike asked

"Ok Mr. Judge" Joey replied looking up for his picture.

Mike had a seat across for Joey.

"What are you coloring?" he asked

"It's a picture for daddy" Joey answered happily "it's for when we go home and he can hang it on the frige like he does all my pictures"

"Ok Joey how old are you?" Mike asked

"I just turned 5" Joey replied

"Who do you live with?" Mike asked

"My dad"

"Have you ever met your mom?" he asked

"No daddy says that she was really young and didn't think she could raise me right so she gave me to my dad because he is the best dad in the world, I don't care what Declan says my daddy is better than his" Joey said

"Who's Declan?" Mike asked

"My friend his daddy works with mine" Joey replied

"So do you travel alot with your dad?" he asked

"Sometimes, my dad doesn't travel as much as he used to when I was younger we spent about 6 months on the road and the rest of the time were home" Joey answered

"Do you ever stay with anyone when your dad goes on the road?" Mike asked

"Yeah when I'm sick and can't go with daddy I stay with my grandma and grandpa and my uncles" Joey answered

"Is that fun?" he asked

"Yeah but I miss daddy" Joey answered

"So what do you like to do for fun?" Mike asked

"I like to play with my Playstation 2 and listen to music and play with my friends" he answered

"What music do you listen to?" he asked

"Whatever my dad listens to but he always makes sure it's ok for me to listen to because some music has bad words in it" Joey replied

"Have you ever heard your dad use bad words?" Mike asked

"Only once but he only said it because he cut himself by accident and didn't know I was in the room" Joey said

"What was the word?" Mike asked

"the S.H.I.T. word" Joey answered (he was spelling the word)

"Ok" Mike said "what about the woman who was with your dad earlier?" Mike asked

"Her name is Mackenzie but I call her Macky and she calls me Blondie, she is my dad's bestfriend I've known her my whole life" Joey explained. Then he got really serious.

"Can you keep a secret?" Joey asked

"Yeah I can" Mike answered

"I want my dad and Macky to get together and get married and then she'll be my mommy" Joey said

"That's very nice" Mike said

"Do I have to go with my mommy because I don't want to I want to stay with my dad and Macky" Joey said on the verge of tears.

"Well I haven't made a decision yet but I'll have to but I'd never take you away from your dad" Mike said

Joey seemed comforted by these word and calmed down. Mike left the room now was the hard part telling somebody that they were going to loose their son.
