Fallen Star (BOTDF Adopted Me?)

What Are We Going To Do..?

"I hear by return, Camden Von Vanity's rights to his legal guardian, Ashley Von Vanity... And for the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Hodge, for child abuse, kidnapping, and impersonation of CPS agents." The judge announced, hitting his gavel against his desk.
I smiled and hugged Camden tightly to my chest as tears of happiness dripped down my cheeks. After a long, agonizing week of total silence, we were finally called into court for Cam's rights. My dad's, Ryan. and I are so happy that we finally got what we deserved as well as the Hodges.
About an hour later, all of us had finally made it outside into the cold, snowy, December air. We made our way out to to my dads SUV, and my truck, occasionally slipping on a little ice here and there... After a brief second of warming up the truck, I strapped Cam in and wrapped his Spongebob blanket around him then I quickly turned around and hugged my dads again.
"I can't believe it... I actually have my baby back!" I whispered softly as I hugged my dads tighter.
"We know. We're happy for you, and we're proud of you. You've done so much to get Cam back..." Dad (Jayy) smiled and kissed my forehead.
"That lets us know that you care and love him. You've also found someone a million times better then that Cody kid." Dad (Dahvie) finished, nodding toward Ryan.
He looked up and smiled at my dads as he placed his hand in the middle of my back.
"And thank you both for accepting me." Ryan replied, smiling at my dads.
They smiled and nodded to him. Then dad (Jayy) walked up to him and gripped his shoulder.
"Just keep in mind, everything you do to my daughter, i'll do back to you. So if you hit her, i'll hit you back... Twice as hard." Dad (Jayy) calmly said, with a sadistic smile plastered on his face.
"Understood sir. Loud and clear." Ryan smiled and chuckled.
I giggled and smiled softly to my dad... Even if it could be very wrong in so many different ways, but he seems to have taken a liking to Ryan. He's never made a joke out of a threat toward anyone, not even Cody.
"Be safe you two. We'll see you at home." Dad (Dahvie) smiled as he got into his car.
Ryan and I nodded then climbed into my truck and drove away.
"I'll drop you off at home, OK?" I said as I turned onto his street.
He nodded and un-strapped himself as I pulled into his drive way. He smiled and kissed me before stepping out and opening up the back door to kiss Cam's forehead. I smiled and waved to him as I pulled out of the drive way and drove home.

**Ryan P.O.V**

Later that night, I went out and started walking to Ashley's house. Tonight we were going to have a movie night together with Cam... I hate to say this, but I think it would be a lot more fun without Cam getting in the way of Ashley and I. But I really do love the kid, and he makes me very happy, I love him as if he were my own, I honestly do.
I mentally smiled to myself, thinking about what it would be like if Cam were my son, I apparently got to deep into thought to realize that I turned onto the wrong street. I stopped walking and looked around, quickly realizing what I did.
"Dammit... I'm already late as it is..," I sighed then turned around, but bumped into someone. "Sorry... 'Scuse me." I muttered and quickly started to walk around the guy, but he grabbed the arm of my jacket.
"You look familiar.... You're that Ryan kid, dating Ashley Vanity, correct?" The guy asked, glaring at at me from under his beanie.
"Um... Why..? Who the hell are you?" I growled, yanking my arm away from him.
"Shut up and listen. I'm an old friend," He smirked and started to crack his knuckles. "I have a message for her, make sure she gets it." He finished then punched me twice, once square in the nose and then in the eye.
I fell back, clutching my nose as it poured out blood. This gave the little bastard plenty of time to run away, but his beanie fell off during the process. I bit my lip and quickly grabbed the beanie then ran straight for Ashley's house.
I ran up the steps and opened the door, stumbling inside.
"Ryan!" Ashley cried as I fell to my knees, feeling light-headed. "What happened to you??" She exclaimed as she quickly brought me into the bathroom and set me on the counter.
She had my lay my head back and made me pinch my nose as she wiped the blood off of me and got a different set of clothes to change into. Once the bleeding stopped, she brought me back downstairs and we sat on the couch.
"Oh, Ryan... When did you get here..?" Dahvie asked as him and Jayy walked into the room from the kitchen.
"And what are you doing with my clothes on?" Jayy questioned as he tilted his head to the side.
I sighed softly and held onto Ashley's hand as I looked at all of them.
"Listen... Ashley, you need to stay safe OK... Don't leave the house without your dads, your friends, or myself... Just..." I drifted off and rubbed my eyes.
"Ryan... What happened..? Did you get into a fight or something..?" She whispered, gripping my hands tighter.
"N-No... I was stopped.. By an old "friend" of yours... He said he wanted me to give you a message, then he gave my a black eye and broken nose... I didn't get a good look at him​, but I did get this." I said as I pulled out the beanie and handed it to her.
She took it and looked it over. Her eyes widened and she dropped it, shaking and her eyes full of fear.
"Ashley?? What's wrong? Are you OK?" I asked, quickly taking hold of her.
Her breathing quickened and she gripped my arm, I held her to my chest and started cooing into her ear as I stroked her hair. After a few minutes, her breathing returned to normal and her heart beat slowed down to its normal pace.
"Thank you for preventing her panic attack." Jayy smiled a little and patted Ashley's back.
"This is bad..." Dahvie said as he picked up the beanie. "It belonged to Cody, I've never seen him wear it until the day he sighed Cam's birth certificate and was sent back to jail...."
My eyes widened and I looked down at Ashley. "Cody wasn't the guy who was wearing it though... This guy had jet black hair, not blue." I said softly as I kissed her forehead.
She slowly nodded then looked up. "Then it must have been one of his friends.... One of the ones who beat me..." She teared up then buried her head into my chest.
I bit my lip and looked up at Dahvie and Jayy, both of them looking just as worried as me.
