[5 MONTHS LATER]

It felt like years and the World grew silent, Court Day. You haven't seen any of your friends, nor your foster dad since that day after Monica got a confession out of her father, Brandon. You've been staying in a shelter with Madlyn and Monica. The agents state that this is better until we get the Courts word, and it was finally the day we get their saying. This could be either really amazing or really horrible who knows which. You get your self dressed into a worn out outfit not like the ones you were used to,but whatever a boring day deserves a boring outfit not like you have any interesting outfits. You slowly shuffle out of your room going to the bathroom and closing the door behind you and because of motion censors the lights automatically turn on. You walk to a sink and look at yourself just for a second until someone walks in making you quickly look that way, it was Madlyn.

"Hey." She quietly says , her voice sounding raspy. She had a long dark blue sleeve shirt on with baggy grey pants you look her up and down before looking back at yourself. You had a faded black shirt on that went down to your knees with faded blue jeans. Ugh I look stupid. Madlyn puts her head on your shoulders glancing at the both of you through the mirror. "It's the day we were waiting for, it feels so weird now that it's here." You nod your head licking your dry lips.

"You think they're going to come?" You ask, and without saying any names she automatically knew who you were talking about.

"I think." She responds sounding hesitant. You sigh with a little smile on your face and close your eyes faintly saying. "I hope so."

—

You, Madlyn and Monica get awkwardly out of your agents car meeting up with a building. You grab both of their hands and walk through the doors of the building with the agent behind you. The scent right when you walked in was a lavender something you haven't come close to in a while. The floors where tiled brown with a red carpet leading to two big closed doors. The sound was almost familiar something you haven't heard in a while and only heard when you were in the restroom alone, quiet. Someone then walked in shaking hands with your agent and then pointed towards you. The women was flat and obviously punctuated just by the look of her. She walked quickly toward you shaking all of your hands. She had a black pencil skirt with a nice white top.

"It's nice to finally you girls I've heard so much from your agent, I'm going to be your lawyer, my name is Stacy Reinhart. Now would you like to go over the plan in a private room before we go through the big doors." She states,she had an Austrian accent and her voice was so soft and trusting. You all look at each other before nodding, she smiles taking you further into the hallway and into a large squared room with a table in the middle of it, almost like a meeting room.

She put her leather brown briefcase down opening it to take out a few papers and putting it down in a neatly manner. She did this while gesturing for us to sit down we do so quietly and she puts her briefcase carefully on the chair next to her.

"So your [Y/N]" she says pointing to you, you nod carefully and she smiles. "And then you're Monica and Madlyn." She finishes pointing to the both of them correctly, them following along with a small nod. She laughs a little before looking through her notes. "Your story's are pretty crazy especially adding onto the therapy it's absolutely... oh shoot what's the word." She shuts her eyes grinding her perfectly straight white teeth trying to think. She then opens her eyes looking at the three of us."Complicated ? Thats why this Court Day has taken so long to organize we just needed time." She continues looking through her notes again. "I've read through this like a thousands times adding each time you guys went to therapy and it's just difficult to take in. [Y/N] these nightmares your having don't seem like nightmares more like visions. Nightmares take place at night not in the middle of the day. And uhm Monica your insecurities have led to denial and Madlyn you've shown recent of being bipolar. Which you have nothing to worry about you just need to take some tests. You girls are all so amazing and everyone is trying their best to throw that man in jail there's no need to be afraid." She clears her throat and looks at her notes one last time before neatly stacking them up and putting them in a folder. "May I tell you that many people are going to be watching you along with national tv. Today is going to be crazy and I don't want to put any pressure on you guys. I also want you to know that I did a scan check to see what was there and there's lots of cameras so please don't be startled when you see lots of flashing and noises when you guys come in." She puts her folder back into her briefcase and looks at you all with a gentle smile. "Now for the plan what were you guys thinking of saying on the stand" You all strug your shoulders in response. You haven't really thought about what you were going to say all you wanted to do was yell and insult it for what he's done and what he could've done if I signed off those papers and didn't run away. You could almost see it the little smug on his face while you yell and you wanted to choke him and fall out in tears with pain, that's all you've ever wanted to do.

"It's okay to not know." She says interrupting your thoughts. "I'd just say go with the flow and don't try to
put to much information out they just want an answer to what they'll be asking, not the whole story. I think you'll guys will do just fine, you ready." And by those words your hear t stopped. Oh God am I? You nod your head and she leads you out of the room and to the big doors counting to three before opening it up.

The flashing of cameras came from left to right leaving you blinded and you couldn't see anyone who was in the audience.. You walked straight making your way to your seat following Madlyn and Monica quietly. You quickly take a peak behind you and no one. Well no one you knew at least, you feel your heart crush at the sight of it making your throat clog up in tears but holding them back leaving you in pain. Madlyn hugs you to the side before looking up and then he came. He was in a dark suit and had the weirdest smile on his face when he sat down on the table beside yours. The world grew
quiet when you saw him and you didn't even hear it start.

"ORDER IN THE COURT!" The man shouts pounding his gavel making everyone go silent and giving all attention to the tiny man. You hear the door behind you open making you quickly turn that way and a tiny smile crept on your face it was Delilah,Connie and Josh. Connie waved a tiny wave at you before sitting down putting arms around her son. You turned toward the judge and you felt good. At least there was someone you knew there. "Lawyers come to the stand." Stacy and the other man beside Brandon stands up walking to the front and stares up at the man as he talks to them, you mute that part out and just stare into blank space as they argue.  Time passed fast in the court and you didn't even realize Monica and Madlyn already went and it was your turn to take the chair. What were you even thinking about , probably Noah. Oh God I miss him I need to see him.

"Was I... Oh." You sat standing up, Monica was crying why? You look behind you one last time to be disappointed, still not here. "Shit." You curse under your breathe. You walk to the stand and Stacy leads you to the booth next to the judge.

"So..." you say stumbling over your words and close your eyes, and then you heard the door open. You opened your eyes and there they were. You're not sure if you were imagining it or this was actually real. They're here.. they're all here. You smile a little gaining confidence continuing. "The first time I saw Brandon I was terrified of him, yet I didn't know why something about him bugged me and this is coming from my 8 year old perspective after being bounced back and forth to 5 different homes." You paused for a moment looking at Brandon dead in the eye and then shifted your eyes toward Noah meeting his gaze. He seemed intrigued wanting to know more of your story. "So... I begged my agent saying that I didn't want to stay with him, yet he insisted and said that my father knew him so I did my best to trust what he was saying. He knew my father huh... well let's see what he has to say about him. My agent left and immediately after I said to him. 'What was my father like?' He responded with this. 'He gave me my first job... well only job.'" You took a deep breathe to continue before being interrupted.

"What does this have to do with anything." Brandon's lawyer stepped up. The judge banged his gavel once again before stating.

"Sit down Mr.Treedly, let her continue." He yelled and immediately the man sat down silently, clearly annoyed.

You hesitantly continue your story looking Noah deep in the eye. "He then gave me rules and I remember this one that said 'Never talk about your parents' and I remember saying this to myself "why can't we" and he responded with "well that's not appropriate" and I just accepted that and my god why did I have to accept that. After that day I never had breakfast, lunch, or dinner because this man was to lazy to go out and buy or make some. I asked Madlyn 'well why not.' And she simply said 'that's just the way it is.' And I was so weak and tired that I couldn't even fight back none of us could. We went to school depending on the food they gave us there, but God the summers were just awful. While he mentally abused me inside scaring me and threatening me to never tell anyone what happens at home I didn't know he was physically abusing the only two people who treated me like family in that house, not even a home just a cold no entertainment house. I mean he wouldn't even let us watch TV ! Can you believe that." You say bursting into a giggle. "We has to use some friends internet to connect to their WiFi just so we can have access, and that's how it was, cause that's what we were used to. Me for 5 years and them from the day they came into this world!"

"Okay that's enough." Mr. Treedly states standing up quickly trying to stop you from continuing but you kept going.

"Everyday after school when he wasn't home we would eat pieces of his left over food or ask neighbors for some snacks cause they knew! And nobody did shit !" You yell over Treedlys voice feeling more powerful then ever because you got to see the look on this mans face. Defeated and guilty.

"And everyday we had to make sure to turn everything off and make sure everything was in the right place and not out of the ordinary for him or not we won't here the end of it. Yelling over and over and I don't even want to know what he did behind closed doors when he forced me to go to my room leaving Madlyn and Monica behind." And that's when it all came out.

"Oh you selfless Bitch!" You bear Brandon scream and you were woken up. "I GAVE YOU A HOME TO LIVE IN AND I DIDNT PUT NO HANDS ON YOU WHEN YOU WERE THERE KNOWING YOU WERE WORTH A FUCKING FORTUNE !" He laughs and the gavel pounded demanding to stop but be continued. "YOU WERE NOTHING TO ME BEFORE YOU WERE BORN AND YOUR PARENTS HAD TO JUST SCREW IT UP, GIVING YOU ALL YOUR FAMILY'S STUFF INCLUDING THE BUSINESS. THATS ALL I WANT THATS ALL I FUCKING WANT. IF I HADNT KNOWN IT WAS ALL FOR YOU I WOULDVE JUST KILLED YOU AND YOUR FATHER NOT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!" he stopped and the court room was awfully quiet, he was crying and confessed to murderer.

"Oh shit." You hear Noah say accidentally out loud, you look over at him before giving him a look of disbelief. Was is over... is he going to jail now.

"Thank you [Y/N] [L/N] you may take your seat with your sisters." The judge says looking over at the jury watching them take notes. You quietly pass Brandon awkwardly him giving you a hard death stare. You take your seat next to Madlyn and Monica and they just stare at you.

"I can't believe he killed our mom. I... can't believe you broke him." You hear Monica say. You look over at the judge who was now over by the jury taking all the notes they had taken before making his way over to his seat before adding notes and then nodding over for everyone to take a seat.

You move your hair out of your face before remembering the day you cut it. Oh what a disaster. You look at your hair before smiling and looking behind you to see everyone you know. They're all here and they came to see your success.

"Okay well Mr.Beve... how do you plead." He states giving Brandon a look of sympathy. No comment came out of his mouth not a single peep. "Well case F1925 closed. Brandon Beve you are sentenced  45 years of Man Slaughter and Child Endangerment and Domestic Abuse " The judge pounds his gavel one last time before the police made there way handcuffing Brandon up and taking him away through the large doors.

You burst into tears hugging both Monica and Madlyn who were also in tears before realizing. What now where will we live?" You look over to the judge confused. "Where are we going?" You ask him and he looks over at you frowning.

"You'll be sent back to foster home until adopted or at a age where you don't need to be there anymore.

"Oh."

"Or!" You hear someone say in the audience. "They can live with us and maybe I'd they want they can be our children." You look over to see Delilah stood up proud and frightened about what she just said.

"And you are." The judge says, furrowing his eyebrows.

"They helped with everything by giving them a home to live at knowing they were in danger." Finn states, "[Y/N] and Monica can agree to that for sure." The judge looks over at you, both of you quickly nodding. The judge nods slowly looking down at papers

"Well I guess so but I can't automatically make you there legal parents especially with you already about to have two kids and all. Damn... Wait! Two kids!

"YOURE PREGNANT!" You yell over to her! She bursts into a huge grin before nodding.

"It was supposed to be a secret darn!"  Bonnie says wrapping her arms around Delilah stomach.

"Although." The judge loudly says getting all of our attention. "I can place them in your home if your willing to sign some papers and maybe after a few days you can sign forms for adoption if the girls agree."

Your heart pounded at out of your chest when you heard that. You mean to say that you want to adopt us or was I just imagining things. Nobody said a word they didn't want to jinx the moment and have them change their mind knowing that will be to many kids.

"Well that's that, it was really an experience being with you girls. You should be proud." The judge looks over at your lawyer and she smiles.

"Okay now if you lovely ladies will like to come with me we'll be able to sign some papers letting the government know the girls will be in your hands." Sarah says walking to the doors making sure Delilah and Connie were following her Josh, being gripped by the hands of his excited mother's.

You quickly run over to Noah giving him a huge hug before bringing him in to a small yet long kiss. You pull away both of you laughing like dorks.

"What was that for?" He asks, smiling cheekily.

"Noah Schnapp... I love you." And there it stayed, known, just right, and perfect.

"[Y/N] [L/N] I don't usually say I love you's to someone I haven't been on a date with but knowing all of what we've been through what YOU been through I'd like to say. I love you too!" He smiles before kissing you again.

"Okay guys... Enough that's gross!" Natalia says playfully pushing you over a little.

"What do you guys want to do." Gaten says, you all look over at him thinking.

"Well knowing that we just finished filming Stranger Things season 3 then we came here and [Y/N] and Noah finally confessed their love for each other and sooner or later these three amazing girls are probably going to be adopted soon I think we should celebrate." David recommends and everyone screams in agreement.

"Well what are we waiting for. LETS GO EVERYONE!" Joe yells, everyone runs out following him you being left with Noah as usual.

"I think they forgot about Connie and Delilah..." Noah laughs.

"They'll probably forget us." You add.

"Yeah probably." Noah smirks bringing his arms around you.

-
[TWO WEEKS LATER]

"Are you girls seriously not ready." Connie yells.

"SORRY!" Madlyn and Monica yell rushing to get dressed in there fresh new clothes ready for the big day. The Gender Reveal.

You hold hands with Noah on the couch while you watch some old 80s movie Noah insisted on you watching something called Ghostbusters... I think he said it was an 80s movie? Or was that the other movie you watched.

"[Y/N] what are you doing come on ! Noah out of my house !" Connie says in a motherly tone.

"Why can't I come..." Noah pounts leaning in on your shoulder. Connie looks Noah straight into the eyes before he gave out. "Fine I'll go."

"Joshua! You to what are you doing ! Get your stuff!" Joshua stayed on the living room floor paying close attention to the movie.

"Mama... do I have to go why can't I stay with Noah." Joshua says sighing.

"Because Noah's leaving." Bonnie looks straight at Noah before tilting her head with a deadly smile. "Isn't that right now." Noah uncomfortably shifts back standing up.

"Yeah.. yeah obviously leaving sorry Josh maybe tomorrow " Noah stammers, getting his stuff, he puts a small kiss on your cheek before heading to the kitchen to make a call. The house was an absolute mess due to all the moving and moving out things, but Connie and Delilah didn't seem to mine in fact they loved the mess for some odd reason. You got up from the couch walking to the room to get your stuff seeing Madlyn and Monica already dressed in there nice stripped blue and pink design dresses. You quickly get into yours and rush out of the room.

"Hey Noah if you see Finn tell him to answer my text messages it's been days!!" Monica yells to Noah running out of the house.

"Yeah I can try." Noah responds continuing to talk on the phone.

You give Noah one last kiss before getting into the grey suv you put your seatbelt on and the car started.

"Can I ask you a totally appropriate question." You state, nervously laughing.

"Is it really appropriate?" Delilah responds in a joking tone.

"Yeah... I think." You pause. "Who's your sperm donor ?"

Connie bursts out in a giggle, "I really thought you were going to bring up sex... ugh thank God." Everyone starts laughing before Delilah responds.

"Someone very close... you'll meet them. Any other questions?"

"How do you know Noah?" Madlyn then adds in.

"Me and his father used to be a couple before I realized I was a total lesbian, but me and his father still were really good friends in fact best friends, I was even there when Chloe and Noah were born so that's cool. " Connie answers.

"Yeah cool." Josh days excitingly.

-
You made it to the club and after being in the waiting room for a couple of minutes they finally called for Delilah. You waited patiently for the scan to go through as they put clear gel on her bare belly and then it came up.

"Woah." Josh said out loud making Madlyn laugh.

"Oh My God, it's a boy." Monica stumbles out loud. Connie hit Monica's shoulder lightly saying.

"How would you know." She laughs making the nurse furrow her eyebrows.

"As a matter of fact..." The nurse states looking closely at the scan. "It is a boy... congrats!" She says turning to us.

"Oh Wow." Delilah eagerly shouts at the urge of tears. "Can we get the picture?" She then asks.

The nurse turns off the monitor wiping the gel off of her belly, she then presses a button from the side of the monitor responding with a sure. Delilah reaches down to her her bag wiping her tears. "I have something else..." Delilah finishes getting a paper folder from her bag and giving the bag gently to Bonnie, sitting up.

"We'd like you to sign these." Delilah opens the folder taking out three separate sheets handing it to you, Monica, and Madlyn.

Finalize adoption

It posted in front of the page making your heart stop you look down at the signatures to see Bonnies, Delilahs, and Brandon's. What was left was yours.

"Oh." You all say out loud looking down at the tempting paper

"We'd like you to be ours. It took us a while to get Brandon's signature but he finally gave out all we need is yours." Connie sighs, then looks up with a smile staring down at her son and soon to be daughters.

Madlyn bursts into tears grasping onto to the bed holding herself up from falling down to tears Monica hugs her from behind also in tears while you just stand there looking at the piece of paper with a blank expression and there one went. A tear slowly falling down at the paper leaving a dot. You held the paper to your chest hoping to God that this wasn't a dream before collapsing next to Monica and Madlyn. It wasn't tears of sadness they all knew it was tears of hope. Hope of knowing there was going to be a new start for them a new beginning. They were happy. Joshua awkwardly went in for the hug before the nurse came back in with a small paper in her hand.

"Guys the pictures in." Delilah says out loud patting small of your backs. You guys come up slowly to see the picture and there it was. The photo black and white but still had a clear view of a small baby boy.

"I can't wait to see you." Delilah says in a baby voice to her stomach before standing up and looking at you. "So what do you say?"

"I never thought I could feel so happy." Madlyn suddenly adds, before nodding her head.

"Yes." You and Monica say.

"I can't believe I'm gonna be a little brother and a big brother at the same time !" Josh cheers making all of us laugh, and that was the last thing everyone said to each other before quietly going back home. What a good word, Home.

You had everything you can ask for a faimly, friends  and a boyfriend. What more could you ask for ? Life was great, let's hope nothing tragic happens to ruin the moment, yeah let's hope.
