Trail Part Two

"Call me tonight Sam." Jules unbuckled her seatbelt as she turned around in the passenger seat of the car. "I don't care if it's just to say hi."

"I promise Jules, I'll be fine."

"Even if your father testifies?"

"Jules you don't need to worry about that, all you need to do is rest."

"Right, I know." Jules kissed him quickly on the lips before swinging her backpack over her shoulder and getting out of the car. "I'm serious Sam I want to know you're going to be okay." She stood up the curb her hand resting on the passenger seat door.

"I'll be fine Jules." He repeated again.

"Right." Jules closed the door and walked out of the hot summer day, into the air- conditioned Ottawa train station.


Sam sat on a bench outside the courthouse. It was lunch break although he didn't feel much like eating all morning it has been the crowns expert witnesses, which either remembered him as a child or were from Kingston. Either way his father's lawyers were all over them tearing them apart inside and out and for the next two days that same cycle would probably continue.

"I know I owe you ice cream but I figured you might want this instead." Adam's voice broke Sam out of his thoughts as he pushed a styrophone cup of steaming hot coffee in front of him. "I swear this is conscience, I'm not spying on you for Jules."

"My brain hurts to much to respond to that." Sam gratefully accepted.

"Uh-oh looks like I came at the right time." Adam sat down beside him.

"It's been expert witnesses all morning and the little details that those lawyers pick out." Sam shivered at the thought remembering what had happened.

"That's their job."

"Some job." Sam sighed. "It's going to go on for two days which means this whole trial just gets delayed longer."

"Not delayed, although there is one good thing about all of this."

"What could that possibly be?"

"The longer all this goes on the more time it'll take for your father to testify."

Sam shrugged his shoulders, not in the mood to talk about his father. "I should probably go." He stood up. "Thanks for the coffee."

"Anytime." Adam said as he watched Sam leave and made a mental note to keep an eye on him.


"It was like that all day I felt like my head was going to explode.'" Sam felt at ease as he talked to Jules over the phone later that night.

"Aw, that sucks." Jules sympathized with him.

"So how are you guys doing?" He lowered his voice; they did not want to tell anybody she was pregnant until they were sure she wouldn't miscarry.

"Okay." Jules smiled. "No morning sickness yet. So are the expert witness statements going to be going on tomorrow as well?

"That is good, how was ride? Tomorrow? No uh it's the defense's case tomorrow."

"It was good. You should tell Adam, he might be able to come and check on you."

"I'm not telling Adam. You know, he came and checked on me today."

"I didn't send him!"

"Yeah he said you didn't." Sam laughed.

"Sam you know I love you right? I just want you to be okay. I'm worried about you."

"I'll be fine, I promise Jules, I promise now just rest. I love you." He waited until he was sure that Jules had hung up the phone before he did the same putting it on the bedside table.


"General Braddock – your son – was he a rough child."

"He was a boy." General Braddock answered simply. "He was always hyper, giving his mother a headache. I always struggled with him – we had a hard time finding something to connect on."

"Not even in sports, in his testimony Constable Braddock said he loved playing sports."

"I had my regrets, I was never there for him as I should have been, but I do love him."

"What do you think of all of these allegations?"

"I hate them of course. I don't know what kind of thoughts his wife has put into his head, but I don't like it."

"So you think this is her fault?"

"Samuel wasn't a bad kid. He wasn't careful and he was a bit impulsive. He got injured all the time, he fell playing hockey and broke his arm or he'd take a tumble off his snowboard or anything to get attention."

"You think this is all about attention."

"I would understand if it was. I'm from a military family as well my father moved around more then I ever did, I tried a lot of strange things to get my father's attention times as well."

"So this whole thing sounds like a scam to get noticed."

"Objection! Leading!"

"Overruled!" The judge declared.

"I have no further questions your honor." Major McIntosh decided.

"General Braddock, you said you had regrets about raising your son, what were they?" Major Laker stood up and asked.

General Braddock stifled a laugh. "I had regrets about not being there for him as much as I should have been, but I had a job to do."

"You did." Major Laker nodded his head. "So despite all of these accidents you claim your son had do you know why, if it what you claim to be an attention scheme, nobody picked it up."

"We moved around too much for anybody to really notice, if I had known I would have done something." He said finding Sam in the courtroom and starring him down. Sam's spine tingled, the hairs on the back of his neck raising.

"What would you have done General Braddock?" Major Laker turned the man's attention back onto himself. "

"I would have done something to stop it, but I can do something now as well." He said once again looking at Sam.

"No General Braddock I think you have done enough, no further questions."


"He threatened you in open court? Adam slammed the fridge door shut and stared at his brother in-law.

"Yeah kind of."

"Kind of, Sam? You've got to explain it to me." Adam sighed running a hand through his brown hair.

"He did." Sam sighed. "The judge gave him a pretty harsh warning."

"That doesn't make me feel a lot better. You should tell Jules."

"Why? You don't think he would hurt her? I mean he can't, right? He's in jail. At least until the trial ends." Sam spoke.

"No I'm not worried about that I just know my sister and I know she wouldn't be very happy if you didn't tell her.

Sam sat down at the kitchen table, "No I don't want to do that it would get her to upset."

"Okay Sam." Adam nodded his head as he continued to look in the fridge for something he could make for dinner.


After another week of expert witness testimony's and evidence disputes, the case had finally ended, and the jury had reached a verdict.

"On the charges of assault causing bodily harm in the third degree how does the jury find." The judge asked the jury foreman.

"Guilty on all ten counts."

Sam sighed a sigh of relief as the last verdict was read and he watched as the judge ordered his father into custody.

"Thank you sir." He stood up and shook Major Laker's hand. "Thank you so much."

"You welcome Sam, now go home and tell Jules." He smiled as Sam nodded his head and quickly rushed out of the courtroom.


The six-hour drive back to the city and the woman he loved seemed like twelve and when Sam finally saw the downtown Toronto skyline, it was well into the early hours of the morning.

He had called Jules before he left Ottawa and a few times on the way telling her not to stay up because she needs her sleep and each time she said she needed to see him. As he walked into her townhouse and saw the TV on he shook his head "Jules you-" He began but saw she was fast asleep on the couch. Walking quietly towards her he he put a blanket over top of her.

"Sam." She sleepily opened her eyes smiling at her husband.

"Hey Jewel." He knelt down to her face level and kissed her. "You have no idea how good it is to be home." He stood up again and gently lifted her up sitting down on the couch and resting her head on his legs.

"I do, I missed you."

"I missed you to." Sam said running his fingers through her hair.

"I had a doctors appointment on Monday and I got a sonogram picture. We're definitely having twins." Jules tried to speak as calmly as she could.

A huge smile appeared on Sam's face as his hands gently moved to her stomach which had grown significantly since he had last seen her. "Jules, that is probably the best news I've heard all day."

"Your father just got sent to prison Sam, I think this may be second."

Sam shook his head. "Nope." He told her. "This beats everything."

Three Years Later

"Okay Team 'Pink Penguins' our mission if we chose to accept it, is to attack Uncle Sam and throw snowballs at him, any questions?" Thirteen-year-old Becky looked at het two younger cousins.

Three-year-old Jessica immediately raised her hand jumping up and down in the snow.

"Yes Jessie."

"We get to attack Bastin too?" She asked of her twin brother Sebastian.

"Yes Jessie if you like." Becky answered.

"Yea!" She smiled her brown hair bouncing up and down as she did.

"Okay now on the count of three we-"

"Jessie!" Six-year-old Katie exclaimed as her cousin launched a powerdy snowball in Sam's direction.

"Jessie we said on the count of three."

"You said three." Jessie defended herself as Sam sneaked up on both young girls and grabbed them up, tickling them.

"Daddy!" Jessie laughed as Sam set her back on her feet. "Daddy!" She held her arms up as Sam picked her up. "Daddy I love you." She kissed Sam's cheek.

Sam smiled, he loved hearing his children say that they loved him. When they did he knew he was living the very good life.

"Uncle Sammy.' Katie taped her foot impatiently in the snow.

"I love you to Katie." Sam told the six year old as he placed Jessica back down beside her.

"Hey Uncle Sammy!" Katie smiled innocently. Then hurled the ball she'd been holding behind her back. Nabbing Jessie's hand they darted back to the safety of Becky's fort.

"Hey!" Sebastian called after them. "Daddy that's cheating!"

"No buddy that's just the art of the snowball fight." Sam explained to his son as he fixed the hat atop his blonde hair.

"Evil girls!" He decided as he bent down and tried to make a snowball.

Sam laughed as he knelt down and helped his son make a snowball. As he did he heard Jessie's laugh from inside the 'Girls only Snow Fort' Sam loved his children and he wouldn't have traded them for the world.
