For Disclaimer see chapters 1-5

I know I said I was not going to post until I got 60 reviews but it has stayed at 56 for about a week and I guess you guys deserve the next chapter. I usually get 9-13 reviews per chapter so I think 67 reviews earns you all a new chapter. Good luck!!

Chapter 6

Mrs. Hodgins stood up and picked up Zach. Mr. Hodgins picked up Jack and they stood like that together thankful that at least for now they were still a family.

Then Mr. Hodgins turned to the rest of the kids. "Go get your bags; we're taking you home with us. We need to sort this out."

"Yes sir." They answered and went to get their bags and books.

When they got outside they were surprised to find the Hodgins' walking to a tan mini-van. They had been expecting some sort of limo, or at least a driver.

Mr. Hodgins got in the driver's side and Mrs. Hodgins helped the kids into the back.

They drove for a few minutes in silence then Mrs. Hodgins remembered they had pulled the kids out before lunch.

"Hey kids, is burger king ok?"

Zach didn't answer, Booth and Jack grunted, and Tempe and Angela sighed. They pulled into the restaurant and slowly shuffled out of the car. Mr. and Mrs. Hodgins tried to make light of the situation, they told the kids they could have what ever they wanted. No one said anything.

"What's wrong with the kids?" asked the teenager behind the counter "they look like someone died."

"Yes well we'll just take" he did a quick head count "5 sundaes with hot fudge."

"Your total comes to $9.74"

"Can you break a fifty? It's all I have."

The teen looked at him for a minute then said "sure"

They took their Ice cream to the indoor play-place and settled down to talk.

"Ok guys, as you must have noticed, Zach's biological parents are looking to regain custody of him."

Suddenly Zach started to cry again. Angela, who was closest to him, put her arm around him and asked him what was wrong.

He looked up at her with his big puppy dog eyes and said "I don't wanna go!!" sounding more like a baby then they had ever heard him.

Tempe stood up and stated "Mr. Hodgins I don't think Zach should have to go. They don't seem like the kind of people who should have children, and frankly I'm surprised they are allowed in the school they smell like they drink 24/7 and it can't be good for a 4 year old to be around. If you go to court let us talk about how we see the situation as Zach peers."

She sat down again. Her speech gave Mr. Hodgins an idea. He pulled his wife aside to talk about it. She nodded enthusiastically then they told the kids, who immediately began smiling and giving each other high fives.

Then Mrs. Hodgins called the school to put their plan into action the next day.
