i'm 8 and a half months pregnant now so i could have my little girl any day now something both terrifying and exciting at the same time but i can't wait to get back to football it's been my biggest challenge through all off this not being able to play football but not long left now anyway.  Today me and Rachel are going trial for my parents and my dads friend as i am a minor by law they couldn't force me to  testify so i chose not but even without me testify they where all found guilty and are looking at a very very long time behind bars.
"you sure you wanna go kid" Rachel double checks as she's getting into the car. " 1 million percent" i say confidently "alright then let's get going"
it's about. a twenty minute drive so it doesn't take long once we arrive i great the man who has been testifying on my behalf and thank he before going to take out seats at the back where my parents can't see me for obvious reasons. soon enough we hear "all rise"  so we all stand until told otherwise and the trial begins. We sat there for what felt like a million hours but in reality was probably only about 45 minutes until "in the case off stacey McDonald  guilty verdict of 1st degree child abuse this court sentences  stacey McDonald to the maximum penalty off life imprisonment with a minimum off 25 years to serve" relief was all i felt overwhelming happiness this might all be okay
"in the case off Donald McDonald  guilty verdict of 1st degree child abuse this court sentences Donald McDonald to the maximum penalty off life imprisonment with a minimum off 25 years to serve" again relief and nervousness all over i can't believe this this couldn't be any better rn .
we sat there for a bit longer and finally the sentence for Chris's sentence "in the case off chris smith  guilty verdict of Rape of a minor  this court sentences Chris Smith to the maximum penalty off 19 years without the possibility off parol"
Shocked
this is actually happening i just burst out crying in pure joy i can finally move on from this mess and live my life with my beautiful baby girl. "i've never been more happy in my entire life" i say grinning up at Rachel "come on how about we go surprise your team with the good news" "yeah i'd like that" i had seen the team but mowers near the amount i used to obviously so it will be nice to see all the girls again. Rachel walked into the common room first which wouldn't be anything out off the ordinary then it was my turn  so i walked up and knocked on the door it was then opened by a very annoyed looking maz Pacheco "O M G TATUMS BACK" she screamed her demeanour changing instantly. once everyone had said their hellos and we had settled back down i cleared my throat before starting "so .. i have some news" everyone turning their heads and  looking intently as if to say carry on "we went to the trial this morning and" i paused to basically annoy everyone (Jordan) "both my parents for life and Chris got 19 years" screams and congratulations echoed throughout the room as i was engulfed in many hugs from my teammates.  soon enough i was walking over Carla's office to inform her off the good news finally approaching her office something felt weird
water ? OMG ITS HAPPENING
"CARLA ITS HAPPENING"
