Vacation Nightmare-Ch 32

The family sat there laughing and talking as they ate their lunch, the girls were talking about baby showers and nurserys while the men were talking about babyproofing their homes. Hotch looked down at his watch and said, "we need to be heading back to the courthouse it's almost time for court to start", Dave walked over and paid the bill and when Derek opened his mouth Dave said, "heyyyyyyy don't deprive me getting to feed my daughters".

Derek held up his hand and said, "never man, never", the girls all kissed Rossi on the cheek and said, "thank you" before they all walked out of the diner hand in hand with their husbands. The rest of the team headed inside while Derek and Penelope stood talking, Derek said, "baby what's wrong"?, she said, "what if they get away with this Derek, what if they don't have to pay for what they did to us".

He cupped her face in his hands and said, "baby they are both going to pay and pay dearly for what they did to us and our babies and that's a promise", she smiled as he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers in a soft and gentle kiss. When they pulled apart he rested his forehead against hers and said, "I love you baby girl".

She winked at him and said, "I love you to sug, I love you to" before he intertwined their fingers and they walked inside the courthouse to join the rest of their family. When they stepped into the courtroom they watched as Savannah and Terry were led in and sat down beside their lawyer at the table, the baitliff stood up and said, "all rise".

Everybody then watched the judge walked in and sat down in her chair, she took a deep breath and said, "please be seated", she looked around the room at the two women that had done so much damage in such a short amount of time. She then looked to the back of the courtroom where the victims and their family all sat waiting to see what the verdict was going to be.

Derek gently squeezed Penelopes hand as the judge said, "first off I want to express to the victims how sorry I am for everything they have been through, how much they have alllll been through". She then looked at Savannah and Terry and said, "I have been on the bench almost 20 years and what I have heard and read about this case makes me sick".

The smile that was previously on Savannahs face fell and her heart started racing as the judge said, "I know that in your previous offenses Savannah you were allowed to be put into a mental facility to handle your condition". Savannah nodded her head and said, "yes mam", she leaned forward and said, "welllllll let me tell you Savannah, you won't be getting the same treatment".

Savannah said, "but mam, I'm not well", the judge said, "ohhhhhhh I am very aware of that fact, very aware", Terry looked at her sister and inwardly smiled as she said to herself, "told ya so, told ya so". The judge said, "after everything you have put the Morgan family through I can assure you that you nor your sister will ever see the outside world, welllllll other than looking at it from the prison yard".

Derek smiled and brought Penelopes hand up to his lips and kissed it as the judge said, "Terry you as an attorney knows exactly how much time you and your sister are both looking at don't you"?, she nodded her head yes and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her cheek". The judge took a deep breath and said, "Terry I will start with you".

Terry stood up and dropped her hands to her side and listened as the judge said, "Terry I hereby sentence you to 20 years for aiding your sister in her escape from her other facility and that's just for starters". Terry listened as she recieved 10 years for threatening a witness and 25 years for kidnapping Melody and 25 years for Jamie.

The judge looked at Terry and said, "and you will serve every year of that Ms. Davis, all 70 years and by that time you will be an old old woman and I'm sure that I don't have to tell you that your practing law will never happen again", she nodded her head and said, "yes mam' as her legs gave out and she collapsed in the chair beside her sister.

The judge smiled and said, "alright Savannah I am now ready to tell you your future or lack there of", Savannah stood up and took a deep breath as she readied to hear her judgement.
