Chapter Forty- One

"Mrs. Hart do you want to tell me what it is you've done that a charge of embezzlement might be laid against you?" Mr. King asked his client. "Because if I remember correctly you informed me that you're newly awaken daughter wanted her son to have a trust fund setup in case she did not recover fully and had to use all her settlement on alternative treatments"

Mrs. Hart opened then closed her mouth having forgotten that little detail, it seem like so long ago now. She had been ready to tear into Mr. King again but stopped now that he pointed out she had deceived him.

"And what scheme was Mr. Kinsella talking about?" Mr. King asked not so nicely not liking being played for the part of a fool.

"Does it have anything to do with a junior partner here working on the Jack Kinsella trust the last few days?"

Not getting any answers from Mrs. Hart, Mr. King got to work on his laptop to fix the documents so they would read just like Mr. Tucker had been asking for. It seemed that Candice Hart had been playing games with everyone and now she was going to get burned if she did not follow the rules that were laid out before her. Yes he would have to get her off on the embezzlement charges because if he didn't they might come back and charge him as well. But if Mrs. Hart ever thought she had the upper hand in their Lawyer/Client relationship again he would remind her just what she had done.

So hopefully Candice Hart was smart enough to just sign the papers and leave her daughter alone for a long time, because George Tucker seem to be a very good lawyer. And he did not want to have to have trouble with him.

George and Wade were setting at the conference room table George was still trying to comprehend how Mrs. Hart could think paying Kay to try to seduce Wade was a good idea. Once upon a time before Zoe, Wade was a ladies man but it was a joke around BlueBell that Wade had been living like a monk for years now before Zoe's return. Kay had to have known about that why would she think for even a second her boss would risk losing the woman he loved for a fun time with her?

"Have you told Zoe?" George asked Wade knowing this couldn't be kept for the good Doctor.

"Yes I called her, she isn't happy with her Mother at the moment" Wade said looking at the time on his phone "but I reassured her I would handle this and there is no reason for her to have to deal with it. I just texted her that we are waiting in the conference room to get everything finished"

"That just doesn't sound like the Zoe Hart we know" George replied "I mean she always telling me off about feeding Jack chocolate"

Just then they heard raised voice coming from the open conference room door "Oh Sh" George never got to hear Wade finish because the other man was out the door in a flash.

"I knew she wouldn't just let Wade handle it" George whispered to himself as he followed at a slower pace behind Wade.

"I'm not your property" Zoe was yelling at her Mother when Wade come up to her in the hallway "You can not control me"

"Zoe I was just trying to show you that this Bartender has never changed" Candice Hart responded with as Mr. King stood back and let the two women have their conversation if that's what you wanted to call it. He had seen a lot of couples fight in these halls in his time so Mother/Daughter fighting wasn't that unusual.

"The only person who hasn't changed is you Mother, you're still a lair and think you know what's best. New Flash Mother you don't" Zoe yelled "I love Wade and he loves me what about that can you not understand?"

"He is not good enough for you" Mrs. Hart answered yelling it back at her daughter then turning she walked up to Wade raising her hand and slapping him before anyone realized what she was doing. "You do not deserve my daughter or my grandson"

Zoe took a lunge for her Mother, Wade grabbed her in mid-step he would not allow Zoe to be brought down to Candice's level. George stopped and watched the scene before him shaking his head. Hadn't Mrs. Hart remember what he had told her before what he would do if she had hit Wade. George didn't want to be a lair so he took his phone out and was getting ready to call the police when Mr. King saw this and spoke loudly "I have the documents right here, let's us all go back inside our conference room and get these signed"

George looked at Wade who nodded and was still holding onto Zoe and whispering something into her ear it seem to be working at calming her down because she reached up and kissed Wade. Mrs. Hart looked ready to strike Wade again but Mr. King stepped inbetween them pulling his client by her arm away from the couple in a happy embrace. George followed after Mr. King and Mrs. Hart whistling as he went.

After the trio left Zoe ended her kiss with Wade and replied to his earlier whispered confess of him missing her last night with

"I've miss you as well, not as much as Jack mind you but a really close second" the last spoke with giggles.

"I'm mortally wound by being second place to our son" Wade comically stated as he put his hands over his heart dramatically with a grin on his face the whole time. "I hate that we have to be away from our son because of your Mother"

"Well after this we will not have to been away from Jack again" Zoe stated then looked down at her engagement ring and thoughts of a honeymoon invaded her mind "Well at least until our honeymoon"

"I like the way you are thinking Doc" Wade agreed a honeymoon sounded great about now, but first they did have to get married, in Wade's opinion the sooner the better. But Zoe had some crazy idea that they first had to make sure their date did not coincide with Lemon and Lavon's up coming wedding.

"Come on you need to sign those papers so we can get home to our son" Zoe remarked "after all you told me you would take care of the paperwork"

"Yes I did but that didn't stop you from coming to New York City did it?" Wade complained "I mean yesterday you could have let me come but no you and George got the last two seats"

"Wade please don't start this again" Zoe voiced frustration about this topic "You did not have to stay all night at the Mobile airport on standby to get a flight out this morning. You could have went home to Jack."

"No I needed to be here" Wade defended his actions "And it's a good thing I was who knows what they harpy Kay would have tried if I would have been there instead of poor Tom"

"I wish I could have been there to give her a piece of my mind" Zoe uttered it was such a shame you wouldn't get to tell the other woman what she thought of her. "So Wanda fired her right?"

"From what I heard from Tom who was standing in the background when Wanda called she did more then fired her" Wade supplied picturing the righteously anger Wanda could let loose on Kay. Wade himself would have liked to tell his former employee some choices words. How dare she try to break apart his relationship with Zoe. To tear apart Jack's family from him. Kay had seen Jack and Zoe both a lot during the last month they came in at least once a week during one of her shifts this month he should have known something was up when she mispronounced Zoe name after Mrs. Hart's attorney had called.

"Good for Wanda, homewreckers need to be dealt with" Zoe said forgetting all about the time a few years ago people had called her that for thinking she helped break up George and Lemon. That might have been because she truly hadn't been one and Kay truly was one.

"You are sounding down right southern today girl" Wade laughed. "Now let's gets this show on the road, and later I will tell you just want it felt like to sleep on those hard chairs at the airport"

"You didn't have to sleep on those chairs you could have went home to your own bed and our son" Zoe informed Wade again this was the same argument they had been having since yesterday at the airport when only two of them could get flights out and the third person was stuck on standby for the first flight out. Zoe had wanted Wade to just stay in BlueBell with their son. But Wade said he wanted to be there for Zoe also to show Mrs. Hart they she could not rule them. Wade had just wanted to come along with George himself and leave Zoe in BlueBell but she could not let Wade face her Mother by himself. So both were going only the time table Candice gave them for the meeting did not give them time to book tickets. So while Zoe and George got in late last night and got their own hotels rooms, Wade never left the Mobile airport and finally got a flight out early in the morning.

Lavon, Lemon, and Brick who was the couples house guest because of a broken pipe that wasn't going to be fix for a few more days were watching Jack. Wade and Zoe both were happy that a Doctor would be at hand if Jack needed one. But missed the little guy awful, Wade had come close a few times last night to just wanting to call it quits and just going home to his son. But he did not want Candice Hart to think she could call up and have Zoe at her beck and call. His original idea had been just George and him coming and signing the documents but Zoe needed to end this mess her Mom was making herself. She had wanted to try to have a set down talk with her Mother and work things out where she understood Zoe was going to be living in BlueBell that her life was there. That she loved her son and was going to marry Wade and that was that.

It did not look like that was going to be happening now though after what Mrs. Hart was paying Kay to do. Zoe was a forgiving person Wade was so thankful she was but the key to earning that forgiveness was being truly sorry. Like he had been, Mrs. Hart was not sorry she had done any of the things she did, in fact she thought Zoe was the crazy one. Wade just did not see how Zoe was going to be able to maintain a relationship with her Mother when the woman would not accept Zoe's choices in life, Mrs. Hart was going as far as to sabotage those choices.

Wade knew he did not deserve Zoe but that was her choice to make not her Mother's. He could not picture himself in twenty years time acting the same way with Jack. Yes he would tell his son he did agree with the choices he was making but he couldn't force his son to listen to him. Mrs. Hart did not seem to understand you can't control you're children, especially when you're in the wrong.

That Woman was the biggest hypocrite alive today, if Ethan would have taken her back she would have been thrilled. But because Ethan couldn't that made Zoe forgiving and reuniting with Wade wrong. Wade had been hoping someday that Candice Hart would come around but she had shown during the last two years that she wasn't going too.

It was such a shame because it looked like Jack was not going to get to have a GrandMother in his life and it was all Candice's fault. If that Woman had her way, Jack would not have his Father in his life so if you had to pick it was a lot less hurtful to not have a grandmother then not have a Father there while you were growing up. Wade knew how much it had hurt Zoe not having Ethan Hart in her everyday life, then to learn about Harley Wilkes having not gotten to know him.

Wade did not want Zoe to lose her Mother but it looked like her Mother would not stop until she drove her only child away. There was such a sadness about that Wade thought. But there wasn't anything he could do about it other then give up and his son and fiance to make Mrs. Hart happy which he wasn't going to do.

"I guess will have to go in there" Zoe said looking into the glass enclosed conference room "we do this together right?"

"We do everything together now" Wade said as he took Zoe's hand as she opened the door leading them into the room where they had to face her Mother. Zoe was so angry at her Mom, but secretly she couldn't help but hope that a miraculous turn around could happen in her Mother's attitude towards not just Wade but towards Zoe's whole life in BlueBell. She kept wishing for it, but it only seemed to make the opposite happen.

Did you all guess that Zoe was in New York City too?
