Chapter 10:

It has been two weeks since the second arrest of Nicole Lehey. The custody battle has taken them to court. True to Emily's word, she has gotten a great attorney to represent Luke and Lorelai. In the trial, everyone was involved took the stand. Lance made a full recovery as he testified on the behalf of Luke and Lorelai. Plus Anna even testified for Lorelai's and Luke's behalf as well. Nicole's attorney was at a lost as he got defeated by the witnesses. Nicole her self testified as she wanted to keep with Lance. Luke and Lorelai's attorney crushed her.

The judge listened to both sides of the twisted case. He notices that Luke was a man who gotten screwed by an uptight former attorney. As the trial concluded, he will make his decision in a few days.

Today is the day that the judge has made his decision. At the court house, Luke is pacing as he has a suit on and clean shaven. Lorelai looks at Luke as she comforts him. "Luke calm down, this is not going to hurry up things". Lorelai said to Luke.

Luke looks at his wife as he nods to her. "I know it just this custody fight was different this time". Luke said to Lorelai. He remembers the custody battle for April.

Lorelai nods to Luke as she remembers as well. "Yes, it was different from the last one. This time had a complicated circumstances in it. Plus she will be arraignment in the criminal court in an hour". Lorelai said to Luke.

Luke nods as he looks into Lorelai's eyes. "I love you because of your strong spirit". Luke said to Lorelai.

Lorelai smiles to Luke as she kisses him. "Thank you Luke", Lorelai said to Luke. She has a cool composure on her face.

The bailiff walks out to them as the judge is ready. "He is ready for you now". The bailiff said to them.

The group of people walk into the courtroom. Lorelai and Luke see Nicole coming in the courtroom as she has a suit on. She glares at them as she walks towards her lawyer.

The judge looks at them as he has a stern and stoic look on his face. "This is one of the most complicated and complex custody battle I have ever seen on this bench. Bad choices were made. Bold choices were made. Acts of heroism were made as well. After interview with everyone involved including the children involved, the decision is clear. Mr. Thompson, I am deeply disappointed that you were deceived by Ms. Lehey. Plus you were being the victim of her crimes. By all definitions, you are a father in your own right. Ms. Lehey, I am deeply surprised and stunned by an officer of the court that you have committed crimes in the past few days. As a mother, you should have made better choices for your children. Mr. and Mrs. Danes, you two have proven your selves to be capable parents. I commend your efforts Mrs. Danes to keep children involved in this case safe out from Ms. Lehey's drunken stupor. Mr. Danes, you were the other person that gotten deceived by Ms. Lehey in this matter. You have taken the right steps to get full custody. With that being said, I am granting full custodial parental guardianship of Thomas and Melanie Thompson to Mr. and Mrs. Luke and Lorelai Danes". The judge said to the courtroom. As he bangs his gavel, the custody battle is over.

Thomas and Melanie went up to Luke and Lorelai as they hug them. Nicole looks at them as she realizes that she has completely lost. Lance has a small smile on his face as this is what he wanted. Anna went towards him as a new romance is going on between them.

Nicole is being hurried by a police office for her to wait for the arraignment for the criminal trial.

Rory looks at them as she is getting two more half siblings. "Welcome to the family", Rory said to Thomas and Melanie.

April nods in agreement as she looks at them. "I have always wanted younger siblings". April said to them.

They watch as the lawyer is taking a new family photo as it has the kids hugging Luke and Lorelai. Plus the kids last names gets changed to Danes.

About an hour later, the group is in the criminal court. They are watching Nicole being arriaged. "Case number 82103 the People VS Nicole Lehey charges kidnapping, drunken disorderly, and domestic disturbance". The court clerk said to the judge.

The judge is stunned by it as she looks at Nicole. "I am very disappointed with you as an officer of the court you should have a high set of ethics. What's your plea"? The judge asks Nicole.

Nicole looks at the judge. "Not guilty", Nicole said to the judge.

The judge nods as she looks at the prosecutor. "Bail Ms. Daniels", the judge said to the prosecutor.

The prosecutor looks at the defendant. "Reman, your honor, the defendant made bail in a similar charge before committing the newest charges". The prosecutor said to the judge.

The defense attorney looks at the judge. "Your honor, my client has been through a really hard time. Her husband just handed her the divorce papers and she just lost custody of her kids. Plus she is a person of the community who made bad choicesThe defense attorney said to the judge.

The judge looks at them as she is dismayed by it. "Bad choices yes, going through a hard time is no reason to commit crimes. The defendant is reman to jail until trial". The judge said to them as she bangs the gavel.

The group sigh as it is a momentous occasion to be pleased about. As they leave the courthouse, Rory looks at them as she wonders when they should make the announcement to Stars Hallow. "This calls for a huge party". Rory said to them.

Luke nods as he looks at Melanie and Thomas. "Yeah party", Melanie said to them. "I agree plus I am an instant uncle". Thomas said to them as he is referring to Rory's twins. The group nods as they head back to Stars Hallow.

In Stars Hallow, the family is back at the house. Rory went to her daughters as she brings them to Melanie and Thomas. "Francine, Rebecca, these are your aunts and uncles". Rory said to them.

Luke and Lorelai looks at the moment as she takes a photo of them together. All the sudden, there is a knock on the door. "Are you guys expecting anyone"? Rory asks them.

Luke and Lorelai shake their heads as they are wondering who it is. "No", Luke said to Rory. Rory went to the door. As she opens the door, it is a surprise as it is one person she did not expect to be at her door.

"Finn what are you doing here"? Rory asks Finn.

Finn looks at Rory as he is holding some roses. "Kitten, I have heard that you brought two little loves into the world. I was shocked when I heard that Logan signed his rights away, and I have always a crush for you". Finn said to Rory.

Rory looks at Finn as she is wondering how his friendship will effect with Logan. "What about your friendship with him"? Rory asks Finn.

Finn looks at Rory as he nods to her. "I am willing to fight to be with you. Logan is the one that signed the papers away. I am will be on your side. I have always been on Team Rory". Finn said to Rory.

Rory looks at Finn as she lets him in the Crap Shack. Finn looks at the twelve year old twins holding the twin baby girls. "Did I miss something love"? Finn asks Rory.

Rory looks at Finn as she nods to him. "I gotten two more younger half siblings, and it is like the family is finally complete. It is a long and complicated story". Rory said to Finn.

Lorelai and Luke look at them as it is a friend of Rory's that came over. He could not help but wonder if Finn is the right guy for Rory. Lorelai has a feeling that Finn is the right guy for Rory.
