CPS worker and social worker when to Monroe's next of kin her maternal grandparents Daniel and Lucy Wright.
"Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Wright. We are with CPS my name Gabriella and this is Sandra may we come in." Gabriella said
"Of course what is this about?" Lucy said as she let them in.
"Your grand daughter Monroe." Sandra said
"I don't have a grand daughter with that name." Daniel said as he came into the foyer.
"Your daughter Leyton has you listed as her parents " Sandra said
"Leyton was disowned years ago for her antics. So if you are here to ask us to take in her daughter the answer is no." Lucy said
"But Mrs Wright the circumstances-." Sandra said
"No..she's probably just like her drugged out whore mother. You may leave." Lucy said and opened the door.
Later at the hospital, the ladies came into Monroe's room with a lawyer and pyscholgist.
"Monroe, we were able to obtain a next of kin. The problem is your maternal grandparents will not take you in. So we will have to put you in foster care." Sandra said
She squeezed Bucky's hand as she looked at him with fear, "Monroe hey hey breathe.." he whispered as he caressed her cheek.
The women saw her, and Sandra said "James can we talk to you in the hall."
"Yeah sure." He said
Monroe squeezed his hand and clinged to his arm, "Monroe darlin I'll be right back Im just going outside the door." He whispered she loosen her grip.
Once they were all in the hall, "We can't put her in foster care it will only make her PTSD worse. We need to put her with someone she can trust." Dr Belinda Jenkins said
"And the only person she trusts right now is you James, or the other teachers." Sandra said
Bucky just stood there as the ladies discussed a plan, then Belinda said "How would you feel about becoming her legal guarduan until she is 18?"
"I don't mind at all whatever she needs to get better I'll do it.' He said
Tracie Anthony the lawyer on the case, "I'll get papers drawn up." as she walked away.
Bucky went back to the room, he told her the plan she snuggled into his chest and fell asleep. The next morning Tracie came in with the papers, Bucky signed everything and she was discharged.
Winnie met him at his house, and helped him get Monroe settled. During the day when he was at work Winnie would stay with her.
