Falling for Jared Padalecki

Divorce Finalized

Jared POV

Sunday. Finally. The divorce will be final in a few hours.

We were just going to James' office since the kids were choosing who to live with and we didn't want them to worry or freak out. Zoey was coming too to help out with them so this was going to be interesting.

*skip to courthouse, James' room*

Genevieve and I went in with James and the judge while Zoey stayed in the hall with the kids until they were needed.

We went through all the paperwork and signed everything, understanding that it would take a few days to be processed and that whoever didn't get the kids would still get them every other weekend.

Then, we had Zoey and the kids come in. Zoey was holding Tom on her hip with O holding her hand. Shep ran to hug me as O let go of her hand and hugged Gen's leg.

First, the judge turned to Odette and said, "Odette, sweetie, who would you like to live with?"

She looked nervous so he said, "there's no right or wrong answer and you'll still get to see both mom and dad, okay."

She nodded her head then said, "I want to live with mom."

The judge said okay then paused to write something on the papers. Next, he turned to Shep and said, "Austin, who would you like to live with? Again, no right or wrong answer and you don't have to pick your mom because your sister did."

Shep looked up at me and said, "I want to live with you, Dad!"

I smiled and said, "okay Sheppie," as I saw Genevieve's face turn into a scowl out of the corner of my eye.

The judge wrote something on the papers again then turned to Tom and said, "Thomas, you're up."

Tom leaned into Zoey's shoulder then said, "Dad!"

The judge smiled and finished the paperwork as I saw Genevieve's face change completely and her anger really flared up. I knew we had to get out of there quickly before she couldn't hold it in any longer and prayed the judge was almost done.

After about 30 long seconds, he said, "okay you guys are good," then smiled.

I smiled back and said, "thank you," then gave Zoey a look of 'hurry up, she's gonna blow' so we could get out quickly.

Once out of the room, I grabbed Tom from Zoey and grabbed Shep's hand then pulled them to the side as Genevieve made O come by me.

She went up to Zoey and pointed her finger in her face then said, "you fucking bitch! You took my boys from me! I don't know WHAT you did to them but they will NEVER be yours! They are MINE! And no matter how hard you try, you will never replace me! Not with Jared. Not with the boys. Not with anyone!"

Zoey backed up a few steps, putting her hands up, and said, "I'm not sure what you're talking about. I didn't do anything to any of them except be myself and love them and treat them nicely. I'm sorry the boys chose Jared but that's not my fault. That's yours. All I did was treat Jared and your kids like human beings. Maybe if you did more than yell at them or Jared they'd want to be around you," then walked out.

Genevieve stood there fuming and in shock as I shook my head then guided the kids out after Zoey.

She walked out to the steps and I stopped next to her as she said, "sorry for that but I couldn't just stand there and say nothing. There's so much more I wanted to say though but I didn't want to start more stuff."

I gave her a side hug and said, "it's okay baby, it's okay. I wouldn't have expected you to say nothing."
