Chapter Eighteen

Inside the Judges Chamber:

When Judge Thorton received the documents turning over parental rights to the Court, he was pleased until he read some of the comments from the parents and he nearly blew his top. How in the hell can they say those terrible things about their own son when they were forced into that hellish world?" Then the Judge certified each document and then he called the Attorney for Kaiba Corp and informed him that now they young men could be adopted by the couples.

Serenity had been walking pass the living room when the call came in and when Seto heard what his Attorney had to say he got really excited and was laughing and carrying on like a little kid. He saw Serenity and asked "her to go get her mom and tell her that he wanted to talk to her."

Mary then told all of the young men to follow her and she asked her daughter to go get Greta and tell both Steve and Roland that Seto had some news for them. When Mary and the others got to the living room, Joey and Seto were laughing and crying at the same time and when they saw Mary and the others, Seto stood up and said "you are all legally free to be adopted if that's what all of you want."

Jason then turned to Mary and said "well it looks like you're stuck with us now mom." That's when everyone in that room started crying tears of happiness because now their journey had really come to an end and they were going to be starting a whole new future with families that want and will love them no matter what might come their way.

Mary asked "when do we go see the Judge?" Seto smiled and said "in two days were are all suppose to be in the Court Room where he will ask each questions like, do each of you want to be adopted by this couple, and if you all say yes then he will make it legal." Greta stood there with her arm around Peter and then she said "I think it's time for a real big celebration, do all of you?"

Everyone yelled "yes we do" and then Greta then said "well lets get busy, we have a lot of things to do before we can eat." Everyone started laughing and then they all stopped and Jason said "I can't believe that we are finally going to be part of a family that wants us, it's like a dream and if it is I hope that I never wake up." That's when Chad pinched him and when Jason yelled "ouch, that hurt!" Chad started to laugh and then he said "nope you're not dreaming and neither are we, we've finally found our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

Today everyone is dressed up and standing in the Court Room of Judge Thorton and as he enters the room and sits down behind his big desk, he says "is everyone who is involved in the adoptions present?" When they all said at one "yes, we're all here your honor."

Then the Judge said "will Chad Owens and Steve Miller please stand up, and will the couple who are adopting Mr. Owens and Mr. Miller stand too. Please state your name and the reason that you want to adopt this young man."

"My name is Shadi Obed, and this is my wife Ishizu and we want to adopt his young men because we want to give then the loving home that they deserve. When we first met them we couldn't believe that because of the horrible things that happened to them that their own families would throw them out. Your Honor, I would be proud to call these two young me my sons and I know that my wife feels the same way. Ishizu stood up and with tears running down her face she said "they are my sons and I will love them till the day that I die, so please your Honor let us adopt them and take them both to their new home and new lives."

The Judge then said "will Peter Jenkins please stand up and will the couple who wants to adopt him stand and state your names and the reason for adopting him.

Steve then stood and said "your Honor my name is Steve O'Brien and along with my wife Greta, we want to adopt Peter and bring him into our home and give him the love that he deserves. We already think of him as our son and with your blessing today he really will be." Greta stood and she said "your Honor, my name is Greta O'Brien and I'm the wife Steve and as he said Peter has become our son the day we met him, and today my heart is beating with love for this precious young man and for all the young men here in this room."

Then the Judge said will Jason Williams and Mike Walker please stand and the couple who wants to adopt these young men stand too."

Roland stood and said "your honor my name is Roland Phillips and with my wife Mary and our two other children Joseph and Serenity we want to welcome both Jason and Mike into our home and our lives. When my wife and myself first met them as along with the others we were torn apart because when they told us that their parents and families threw them out like garbage well it broke our hearts. All of these young men are so precious in everyway. As my wife has told them over and over again that they are children of the Lord and that he loves them and nothing can break that love and we feel the same way." Mary stood up and said "your Honor, my own son was one of these young men who lived that hellish life and I couldn't turn my back on him any more then I could turn away from these young men. Please let us take our sons home and shower them with all the love and devotion that they each deserve."

By the time Mary was through the Judge and everyone else in that Court Room were near tears, and then the Judge said "it is my honor and privilege to say that today each and everyone of you are now part of these loving families and all I can say is God bless each and everyone of you here today who want to take these young me into your homes and love them. Then he banged his gavel and said this adoption proceeding is now over. May God bless each and everyone of you."

Then the Court Room erupted and everyone started cheering and yelling and Peter then said "let's go home mom and dad."
