The Ultimate Christmas Present

YOU LET ME DOWN!

"NO YOU SHUT THE HELL UP! I'M TRIED OF YOU SPEAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE NOT EVEN TELLING THE TRUTH!", Miranda yelled.

"Ms. Wilson your client please!"

"Your honor I have no control over this woman. I'm only here for Benjamin Warren, she was just here in support of him I'm assuming", Melissa said.

"What is your problem, trying to make it seem like I'm not apart of Nyla's life. I'm a huge part of her life. What about taking all the classes and doing everything I needed to do to become Nyla's foster parent as well?"

Melissa walked over to her briefcase. "Sir I only have records of Benjamin Warren doing all of the requirements."

"You son of a bitch! How could you....", Miranda charged towards her and Ben stopped her before the baliff had to get involved.

"Melissa now we didn't agree to none of this. You know everything you're adding on is a lie. Miranda did everything I did, even toddler proofed her own home just to accommodate her safety. Nyla has her own room designed to her liking, hopefully."

"I have a room Mandy? I have my own room like a big girl?", she asked excited batting her long eyelashes. "Do I have a big girl bed too?"

Miranda looked at her with tears. "Yes baby girl you do. It's all special just for you."

"Yaaaay can we go home now?", Nyla asked.

"Sir if I may add as you just saw Miss Bailey...."

"It's Dr. Miranda Bailey to you!"

Melissa rolled her eyes.  "Can't seem to control her temper in any situation and I don't believe that's a great environment for a little girl like I mentioned before. Rather there is proof or not of her following the requirements needed to legally get Nyla, may I also remind everyone that Dr. Bailey is the one who did not fight for her when Trevor Lewis initially took her. There are records of her ignoring and not responding to the social worker for months. For someone who so calls care for that little girl would've never stopped fighting no matter what. It's her fault what happened to Nyla because she left that girl with him and gave up. No little girl needs to be given up on by their guardian."

"I DIDN'T GIVE UP ON HER, I KNEW THAT WITH HIS MONEY HE'LL WIN EVERY CHANCE AND HAVING HER RIPPED FROM ME AGAIN LIKE YALL ARE TRYING TO DO NOW. I KNEW I COULDN'T BARE! STOP LYING!", Miranda slammed her hands on the desk.

"Miranda!", Ben said.

"No Benjamin. You're just letting her say anything and I'm not here for it or her."

"Benjamin has contained his composure and everything through all of this and is still fighting for her properly."

"Go get yourself a man and stop trying to win mine over! Benjamin you're not going to say anything else?", Miranda said hurt.

"Miranda I'm trying to make sure we get Nyla okay.....just calm down please."

Miranda pulled away from him.

"Dr. Bailey one more outburst and you're getting put out of my court room", the judge said and Miranda pouted.

After coming back from a recess Miranda was still on ten and ready to take apart Melissa's body.

Ben tried to grab Miranda's hand as they sat back down and she moved it away. "Don't touch me, you didn't stand up for me, not that I needed you too, but you still let me down either way!", Miranda said very angry and Ben felt awful.

"Miranda it doesn't help if we are both losing are cool."

"Oh so I'm the problem, but not that ass hole of a whatever she is."
