Emma's Point of View

When I woke up it was Seven am we had court at 9. It was way too quiet for seven i still can't believe that I stayed the night at Seans. Well I guess I better go check on him. When I got into the living room I found him sleeping on the couch. He looked so cute. I have to take a picture

"Hey what's the big idea?" Sean yawned after being woken up by the flash.

"The big idea is you look so adorable together sleeping on the couch."

"No one and I mean no one see's that picture, got it Nelson. I have an image that I'm trying to protect." Sean whined.

"Fine but we need to get up and get ready. Courts in two hours. We still go pick up my parents."

"Alright Em, it's time to get ready. "Sean said tickling me.

"I don't want to babe. I'm still so tired." i replied

"Whit what did you just say?" he asked shocked

"Nothing!"

"Why don't you go get ready and I'll make breakfast." Sean said walking to the kitchen with a smile on his face.

It was eight o'clock by the time the we were fed and ready. I didn't really eat I'm too nervous. Kyle was finally going to get what he deserved after all these years. After we picked up my parent's we finally got to the court house at eight forty-five. We sat outside our court room until our case came up. I didn't have the heart to sit in there and have him looking at me.

"Ms. Nelson we are up next." My Lawyer said coming to get up.

"Calling Case 69743 Nelson vs. Anderson." The Court reporter called

"Are both parties present" the judge asked.

"Erica Teigen your honor, on behalf of the plaintiff Emma Christine Nelson. She is present and in the court room."

"Tig Lee your honor, on behalf of the defendant Kyle Hope Anderson. He is present and in the court room."

"It says here that on the 12th of October 2007 that you Mr. Anderson were taken into police custody and that you are out on bail at this point in time. You were on the run from the police for lighting a Ms. Emma Christine Nelson on fire in your kitchen after the plaintiff accidently spilt chicken pot pie sauce on you. You are here today for the following reasons; 16 plus counts of rape, 32 counts of assault, 59 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and 2 counts of attempted murder. It that correct?"

"There is one correction Mr. Anderson and I have to make. He is only being charged with one count of attempted murder not two." Mr. Lee replied

"Actually if I may your honor it is correct. One count is from the Plaintiff Ms. Nelson and the second is from when Ms. Nelson was pregnant. Any abuse done to a woman while she is pregnant puts the child at risk of miscarriage. As I may your honor we would like to add a third count of attempted murder due to the fact that Ms. Nelson is with child. We would also like to add if we may get full custody granted to Ms. Nelson." Ms. Teigen interrupted.

"Do you have legal documents stating this claim?"

"Yes your honor we do." Ms. Teigen replied handing the paperwork over to the bailiff.

"It says here that there are whiteness to the accounts that happened on Tuesday October 11 2007. Amy Marie Anderson the defendant's sister, Alice Jean Anderson the defendant's mother, and Carl Hope Anderson the defendant's Father. Are the witnesses present in the court room today?"

"Yes your honor all three are present and willing to testify if need be."

"Mr. Anderson how do you plea?" The judge asked

"Not guilty." Kyle replied all too fast.

"Well this is a twist. We will take a recess and continue at 12:30."

"I can't believe that he plead not guilty are you fucking kidding me. How could he plead not guilty? Look at me I'm pregnant and have a cast on my arm and have the burn scars on my back to prove it." I asked crying.

"I don't know Emma." Sean replied.

"Emma Christine Nelson." My mother yelled.

"Yes mom before you ask that is the reason I didn't come last night. I wasn't in the mood to celebrate."

"It's going to be ok. With you moving home I'll be there to help and everything. And I'm sure Alice will help to."

"Actually I got up a little early today and it gave me some time to think. I'm going to get my own place. I'm about to be 19 years old and I already have a child with one on the way. I need to stop depending on other people and depend on myself. I have the money the McKay's left me when they passed away. I should be fine until I get a job. I texted spinner this morning about getting a job at the dot and I'm going to try and get a place in Jay and Sean's apartment building."

"Are you sure Emma?"

"Yes mom I'm sure this is something that I have to do. If I need anything Sean and Jay are in the same building and you're just a phone call away."

"Court is back in secession."

"Since this is a judge trial, I will be making the verdict. I was going to let the witnesses come up and say something, due to the lack of remorse from Mr. Anderson I have come upon a verdict. Mr. Anderson you are indeed the father, but I am stripping you of all custody. Ms. Nelson you will have full custody of this child. You are sentenced to three years in prison for abuse, five years in prison for rape and another five years of community service. There are also three restraining orders that go into effect as of today. You are not to be within 1,000 feet of Ms. Nelson's home, her parents' home, her work or any school those children attend. You are not to be within 500 feet of Ms. Nelson or her children. If you violate these orders you will serve 10 years in prison. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes your honor. But.."

"No but's Mr. Anderson that is my ruling. Case dismissed."

"Next case Nelson vs. Beyers." The court reporter called.

"Is this the same nelson from the previous case?"

"Yes your honor, Erica Teigen your honor, on behalf of the plaintiff Emma Christine Nelson. She is present and in the court room."

"Tig Lee your honor, on behalf of the defendant Quinn Noel Beyers. She is present and in the court room."

"Ms. Beyers it says here that you were conspiring with Mr. Anderson. How do you plea?"

"Guilty. The bitch deserved it, fucking Sean on the beach. She's a whore."

"That's enough. I don't need any time to determine a verdict. Ms. Beyers I sentence you to 6 years in prison with the same restraining order. You are not to be within 1,000 feet of Ms. Nelson's home, her parents' home, her work or any school those children attend. You are not to be within 500 feet of Ms. Nelson or her children. If you violate these orders you will serve 10 years in prison. Case closed. Ms. Nelson you can go down stairs and get the restraining order paperwork. I sincerely hope your life gets better."

We left the court room and got the paperwork. I can't believe I have to give them all these addresses. What's the point of a restraining order if he knows right where we are?

"Let's go get something to eat I'm hungry." Sean said when my stomach grumbled.

"I'm down. I can't believe Quinn would say that. I knew she hated me but damn. I could really go for some bacon or maybe even a steak."

"Emma are you serious." My mom gasped.

"No it's this child. I've been craving me and eating vegetarian food isn't cutting it maybe if I just use flavoring."
