The final day of Joe's court case was looming over Freddie and Lindsey. Lindsey was sat on the floor in the living area playing with a very energetic JJ who was now piling his toys on top of her which had brought a smile to her face.

"I'm your Mum, not your toybox!" Lindsey spoke with a chuckle, JJ walking over to her and doing his smug smile which he clearly had inherited from his dad.

"Well, you're his toybox now Linds." Freddie said, smiling at the two of them as he walked into the living area with Daisy in his arms.

"Oh, the joys of being a mother" She mumbled before JJ walked over to her and just casually sat on her lap. "Apparently I'm a sofa now too!"

"He is a proper little mummy's boy now, he takes one look at me and thinks I'm some kind of monster." He shrugged, placing a kiss on Daisy's head as he took a seat on the sofa, laying her down in his arms as he did so.

"He probably just thinks you're going to take him like Joe did but I won't ruin this moment! JJ, why don't you go and see your daddy, yeah?" Lindsey whispered to him, JJ turning around and looking at her oddly before peering over at Freddie and shaking his head.

"Told you" He proclaimed.

"He's just being stubborn, something else he gets from me!" She picked up JJ from her lap and stood up, taking a seat on the sofa and placing JJ back on the floor to play before she turned to look at Daisy. "She's definitely a daddy's girl, have you seen the way she's looking up at you?"

"Atleast somebody likes me" He replied grumpily but in a jokingly manner. He turned to look at Daisy who was gazing up at him intently, keeping her eyes fixated on him.

"Is it me or is it a little bit weird how she's doing that?" She added, stroking Daisy's hand as she looked at her. As she did, Daisy pulled her first gummy smile and did the cutest little giggle as she stared up at her doting father. "Did you see that? She just smiled at you!"

"Our daughter is the cutest little girl ever." He replied, smiling down at the baby in his arms.

"She really is a daddy's girl, you got the first smile! But this also means that our little girl is growing up!"

"She's twelve weeks old now and soon enough she won't be so little anymore and she'll be running around after JJ!"

"I don't want them to grow up, I want to keep them little forever!"

"Well, once these two are bigger and we are completely settled then I'm sure we can have maybe one more."

"Can we make it two?" Lindsey pouted, looking up at him.

"Then we'll have four little Roscoe's ruling the roost! I'll think on it." He joked, smirking down at her.

"Good!" She smirked back at him and chuckled.

Later on that day after dropping the two children off to Ziggy and Leela, Freddie and Lindsey were back in that exact courtroom they'd been sat in everyday for the past seven days. Both of them were nervous but they knew that as soon as this was over, they could move on with their lives and focus on them and the children. Lindsey looked up from where she was looking at the ground to see Joe being led back into the dock, looking over at the two of them.

"Please rise."

Everyone stood up as the judge walked in, Freddie and Lindsey's hands staying entwined as they did before taking a seat back down afterwards.

"Have you come to a decision on whether Joseph Roscoe is guilty or not guilty?" The judge asked the forewoman of the jury.

"We have." One of the jury members spoke.

"Is the final decision all or the majority of the jury?" She asked again.

"Majority" She replied.

"And do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?"

Freddie squeezed Lindsey's hand a little more tightly as he looked over beside him at her, nodding slightly with a very faint smile. Lindsey reciprocated the smile and turned back to looking over at the jury.

"Guilty." She spoke, the judge nodding in response as the jury member sat back down.

Lindsey gasped, turning to Freddie as he automatically pulled her into the tightest of hugs. Neither of them wanted him in their lives but Lindsey still had history with him and she couldn't just forget that.

"Joseph Roscoe, you have been found guilty of the attempted abduction of Joe'Junior Roscoe and I hear by sentence you to three years imprisonment. You will be remanded in custody until you are taken to Marsh Hill prison."

"That's the kids settled." Lindsey spoke quietly, walking out of the bedroom and placing the baby monitor on the side as she sighed, sitting next to Freddie on the sofa.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Freddie asked, wrapping his arm around Lindsey as he saw how upset she was.

"For ten years, I was with Joe and we said that when we had a baby together, he'd be the soft touch and the great dad to our baby and now look, he's locked up for three years for abduction." She spoke, her voice breaking between words as she tried to stop herself from crying.

"Come here." He whispered, pulling her into his chest and holding her close as she began to sob. "Joe deserves this, after everything he has done. The abuse, the abduction, and the fact he was never there for you when you lost your baby. He deserves three years, more than that but we can't do nothing about it. He's out of our lives now and it's for the best, me you JJ and Daisy can move on together and forget about this now."
