Chapter Six

A laughable Matter

Alex sat in the courtroom of Judge Elizabeth Donnelly next to Casey and Serena at the defense table. The whole courtroom looked so different than when she sat at the Persecutor table. She didn't the difference since she was going to be nailing someone's ass to the wall, but only now she was the defense attorney and the ass she was nailing to the wall was the prosecutor. She couldn't help but smile on the inside when Donnelly looked over at Martin and his lawyer Mark James with disapproval. She glanced at the two out of the corner of her eye and saw that they knew that Casey had the upper hand because Donnelly knew Casey very well. But Mark James, Alex hoped, would know better than to ask Donnelly to recuse herself for that fact.

"Tell me Mr. James why I should allow this to go to trial," Donnelly told Mark.

Mark stood up before he addressed the court. It was the only respectful thing he had done at all.

"You see Ms. Novak told my client that it was impossible for her to get pregnant…"

"That's hearsay Mr. James. Do you have any proof that she said this?" asked Donnelly.

Mark shook his head. Alex knew that he wouldn't have any real proof and that was the only reason she hadn't gone ahead and buried him in a pile of paperwork.

"I find that you have not met your burden of proof so this matter will not make it's way to court," Donnelly said after a moment.

Martin stood up and started screaming how unfair it was.

"That slut shouldn't being carrying my child. She doesn't deserve anything," screamed Martin.

"Mr. Johnson I find in the contempt of this court," Donnelly told him.

Even as the bailiff lead him away he still continued shouting nasty things about Casey. Casey tried not to let them get to her but they did. She soon found Serena put an arm around her.

"Don't worry about him. He's was just trying to get under your skin," Serena told her.

Casey nodded knowing she was right. Casey had better things to look forward to. For one she had the arrival of not just her baby, but also Alex's future baby. She now had a future with her child and it was all thanks to Donnelly. She smiled the first real smile since this all happened. Her life was really turning around.

A/N: I know that was super short. But I needed to get that over with so I could move on to things that I want to do.
