Mindy and Josh gets temporary custody of the girls
"Hey Ruby I fixed your room up really special" Walter says when Aubrey brings Ruby and Northelyn into the house
"Thank you papa" Ruby says going to her room
"Child services is going to give us temporary custody of the girls until Drake straightens up and goes to classes to teach him a lesson" Aubrey says as she brings in the baby
"He should getting that drunk and hitting Ruby like that that is not good especially for her' Walter says as he takes the baby from Aubrey's arms as she goes to Drakes house to get Northelyn's formula
"Hey Ruby do you wanna go out to the treehouse, and play?" Megan asks her
Ruby nods and heads out to the backyard
"Your daddy is a real bully for hitting you like that" Megan says as she follows her up into the treehouse
"I won't have to see him for a while cause nana and pappy are going to be taking care of me and my baby sister while daddy is fixed up" Ruby says as she goes to the dress-up box that Megan kept for her
After Ruby turned two Megan warmed up to her and was willing to do anything girly with her
"Ruby how about I do your nails and your toes while you sit in the style chair" Megan says as she goes over to where she keeps the fingernail polish at
"Okay" Ruby says sitting down in the chair
'What color would you like?" Megan asks her
"All of them" Ruby says smiling
"I think I can do that" Megan says as she starts doing Ruby's toes
(In the house)
"Okay Northelyn I was able to save some of the toys that your sister played with for you" Walter says coming in with some of Ruby's old baby toys
"Hey, I just came to check on the girls?" Josh asks coming into the house with Brooklyn and Nevada
"They are fine Ruby is in the treehouse with Megan and Northelyn is playing with her toys" Aubrey says to Josh
"I came just in case you and Walter don't get custody of the girls and give custody to someone else" Josh says to them
"Thanks son" Walter says when child services come in behind Josh
"You two must be Aubrey and Walter" the social worker says to the couple
"The same please this way to the kitchen table" Walter says to the lady
"Thank you very much" she says to him
Once everyone was seated the social worker pulled out some documents to read
"I'm in in the case of Ruby and Northelyn Parker whose father Drake Parker was abusive with Ruby" the lady tells the trio
Josh nods to the social worker
"Since Ruby and Northelyn don't have any other parents. I am going to have to grant temporary custody to one of you three" the lady tells them
"We're ready to accept responsibility for both of these girls" Aubrey tells the social worker
"I am going to have to inspect your home and Mr. Nicholas home to see who will qualify for the custody of these two girls. After I have seen both homes I will have the court decide who will be the best fit for these girls. I will give you three a answer in a month good day" the lady says leaving
"Well dad I with you and Aubrey all the luck in this fight" Josh tells his father
"You too Josh may the best one win" Walter says as they shake hands
Aubrey and Mindy kept both houses really tidy and set up rooms for each of the girls if they were granted custody of Ruby and Northelyn. Mindy was more nervous then Aubrey cause she wanted her and Josh to get custody of those two cuties
(One month later)
"Well the court saw the evidence that I have collected from both houses and the couple that is going to have custody of Ruby and Northelyn is Josh and Mindy Nicholas" the social worker says to them
Josh and Mindy were in shock that they were awarded custody of Ruby and Northelyn
"Ruby and Northelyn can start moving in with you and Mindy as soon as possible. I'll give them some time to get adjusted to the new place before I come and check-up on you guys to make sure you guys are following procedures" the lady says as she gets out the right paperwork for Josh and Mindy to sign
After Josh and Mindy signed their names they got up to tell Ruby and Northelyn who will be taking care of them while Drake is getting treatment
"We will let you two see the girls every weekend" Mindy tells Aubrey
"Thanks Mindy it was best that the girls go to you and Josh cause they will be more happier being closer to their own home. That way when Drake comes back I will make sure he does everything right, so he gets custody of the girls back, Then once he gets custody back I will be going over every other day to check-up on him to make sure he isn't drinking or anything around those girls" Aubrey tells Mindy
"I know you won't have to worry about that with me and Josh cause all we have at our house is pop, juice, milk, tea, water, and anything that they want to eat" Mindy says as she goes to checks on the triplets to make sure they are okay
"If you and Josh ever need a break from those two just bring them over to us, so you two can reconnect with your kids" Aubrey says as she comes over to see her grandkids
"Don't worry cause we won't have them come live with us for another month, so I can get into a routine with the babies" Mindy says as she puts each of the triplets in their stroller
"We understand and respect that" Aubrey says as she checks on Northelyn
