Switched At Birth-Ch 15

Vera looked around the room and then at Celia and said, "every attempt was made several times to get family, both sides to take custody of Madison but every attempt failed". Celia said, "so how long was it before any attempt was made by the grandmother to achieve custody"?, Vera said, "it wasn't until several days ago did the grandmother attempt to get custody of the minor child".

Celia said, "in your opinion what kind of parents are the Morgans"?, she smiled and said, "they're amazing, they both love their children, both of them", Veronicas attorney said, "objection". Celia said, "on what grounds"?, the attorney said, "the Morgans have only had her for a few days, their is no way that a bond can be formed that quickly".

Celia said, "over ruled, a parental bond can happen instantly any mother knows that", she then sat down as Celia said, "continue Vera", Vera said, "when Mr. Morgan met his daughter in my office their was an instant bond, a connection". Everybody listened as she said, "it was obvious to everybody in the room that the daughter and father connected".

Penelope smiled as Derek reached over and intertwined their fingers, Celia then said, "so in your opinion where is the minor child Jamie best suited"?, Vera said, "I have no doubt that she will continue to have a safe, loving and stable life living with her parents, the Morgans". Veronica stood up and said, "but she's not their blood, she's my blood".

Celia said, "mam sit down or I will find you in contempt", Veronica said, "but your honor", she banged her gavel and said, "I SAID SIT DOWN", her attorney touched her arm and said, "sit down". Veronica sat down and put her head in her hands, Celia then said, "thank you Vera, you may step down", she said, "thank you your honor" and stood up and walked back to her seat.

Celia then looked at Derek and Penelope and said, "I'd like to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Morgan now", they both nodded their heads and she said, "Penelope what did you think the day your daughter, your biological daughter was born"?, Penelope smiled and said, "I was filled with such love your honor, I had never felt that kind of love before and when they put her in my arms I felt whole".

She nodded her head and said, "what about when the accident happened and you found out that Jamie wasn't your biological daughter"?, Penelope said, "I loved her, I still love her and I will until the day I die". The court room listened as she said, "she's always been my daughter and she will always be my daughter, the way we look at it she's our daughter every way that counts".

Derek smiled and said, "I totally agree", he looked at Celia and said, "mam, we love our daughters and we hope that you continue to let Jamie live with me, her mother and her sister, we're a family now and forever". Celia looked at Penelope and said, "is that the way you feel Mrs. Morgan"?, she gently squeezed Dereks hand and said, "it is mam, it is".

She said, "I've heard enough, I'll go into my chambers and when I have made a decision I'll reconvene court", the baitliff said, "all rise", everybody stood up and watched as the judge stepped down and disappeared into her chambers. Reid walked up and said, "we need to talk", the team walked out into the hall and Derek said, "what's wrong pretty boy"?, he said, "I found out who it was that did the switching of the babies".

Penelope said, "who was it, who tried to destroy our family"?, he took a deep breath and said, "Garcia it was Sam"
