Chapter 17
Court
"All rise. The honorable Judge McKinney Preceding." Says the bailiff. Kevin and Lucy join hands. "You may be seated." Sara looks to her left to see Dylan in handcuffs. Kevin looks down at Lucy knowing she will have to relive everything that she went through with Jeremy as soon as Sara is done with her trial. Kevin puts his arm around Lucy praying that it won't be too painful.
Camden Residence (Later that day)
The adults all sit around the dinning room table. Annie is the first to ask, "How did the trial go?" Kevin, Lucy, Sara and Ethan all look at each other.
"Well, Dylan and Jeremy got twenty-five to life and Dylan's parental rights were revoked." Sara says with a sigh of relief. Everyone at the table smiles at the good news. Sara just looks at Ethan and thinks of the magnificent future the two will have together.
Kinkirk Residence (That night)Lucy looks up from the book she is reading. "Are we going to buy that house?" She asks Kevin.
"Huh? What house?" He asks not looking up from the computer screen.
"You know the one on Sycamore with the pool." She says walking over to the desk. "Did you know that the house on the right side of that one is up for sale also?"
"Sweetheart." Kevin says pulling Lucy into his lap, "As much as I'd love to we cannot afford two houses."
"But we can afford two down payments." She says while tracing circles on Kevin's thigh. She looks up at him through puppy-dog eyes.
"Alright we can buy Sara and Ethan a house next to ours." He says giving in now knowing he will never win. "What do I get out of this for being so nice?" He asks suggestively.
"You get the satisfaction of knowing how much I love you." Lucy says promptly getting up. "I'm going to bed I'm tired. You are too because I'm cold and you're warmer than any blanket we have." She says pulling him up from the chair and leading him to bed. The two snuggle together.
"I love you." He says.
"I love you." Lucy closes her eyes and holds tight to her husband thanking God that she found someone as wonderful as Kevin.
Sara and Ethan's Room (Same night)
Sara lies in bed as Ethan changes into pajamas. Ethan catches Sara staring at him through the mirror. "Why Mrs. Scott. Do I see what I think I see?" He turns to look at her. "Are you staring at me?"
Sara just smiles and says, "I love you."
"I love you. I don't think I could ever say it enough." He says gently kissing her. Sara snuggles into Ethan's arms and releases a contented sigh. She closes her eyes for a moment just listening to his heartbeat. "I was thinking…" He starts, "That we should get a house. Here in Glenn Oak. That way the girls have the twins to play with and you have Lucy and your friends and…"
Sara interrupts him, "As long as I have you and the girls I have all I want." She turns her head to face him and pulls him in for a passionate kiss. The kiss intensifies and the two soon find their hands roaming each other's bodies. Ethan pulls Sara's hands away from his waist and holds them in his.
"Are you sure?" He asks.
Sara pulls him close and for the first time in her life says, "Yes."
A/N: I've never been in a courtroom so I wasn't really sure how it went so that's why the court scene is so short. Also I own Judge McKinney. 'For The First Time' is a song by Kenny Chesney. I was listining to it when I wrote this chapter hence the title of it. Leave me reviews and I'll leave you cookies!
