From Grief We grew (Only On Wattpad)

Chapter 68 Teagan

I open my eyes to the sound of someone snoring. I see a mop of black curls in front of me. I scoot closer and press my chest against his back. He squirms and turns around. His eyes remain closed but a smile creeps on his face as he wraps his arm around me. Even in his sleep he slowly moves his hand to avoid my wound. I run my fingers through his hair and push it from his face. "Canım benim," I whisper and kiss his lips. "Love dino," Luca mutters when I pull back, making me giggle.

   Canım benim (Turkish): My precious or dear. Literally translates to the lines on my soul. Something I stumbled upon on my Pinterest.

   The alarm goes off and Lucah whines pulling me closer. "Babe today is the second Hearing. We have to be there before it starts," I tell him and pull away. Lucah nods and we both sit up. I lean close to him and peck his lips before jumping out of bed. "You! Get here! Hey!" I chuckle and run as he chases me. I hop into the bathroom and quickly shut the door in his face. Lucah knocks on the door and whines, "Hey let me in too pleaseeeeee."

   "Hold your horses there," I tell him.

   "Hmph I hate you," he yells.

   "I love you too babe!" I reply and giggle.

The court Hearing starts with the evaluator providing the Judge with the evaluation folder. The old man takes about ten minutes to go through them before he addresses the lawyers and asks them to begin. Mr Yeun stands up and asks the blonde, "Mrs Miller, in the last Hearing you gave your word of submitting proof against the acquisition made on your client. Did you manage to bring them today?" The blonde nods and provides the Judge proof of transactions made for baby products online. Then she hands another paper claiming it is the hotel bill.

   "Mr Yeun do you have anything else you want to ask Mrs Miller?" the Judge asks.

   "I do. But before that, Your Honour I'd like to address two things. Last Hearing Mrs Miller claimed that my client vapes and that she is mentally unstable and has abused Ms Smith in the past." He walks over to where Bea is sitting and grabs the kazoo and something else. He gives the kazoo to the Judge. "I request your honour to look at the picture provided of my client vaping and this object." The Judge nods and does as requested.

   "Your honour, this is ridiculous. Just because the toy looks like a vape, doesn't mean the thing in the picture is the same one," Mira's blonde counters. "You can even see smoke in the photo." While she talks our Lawyer hands the tech guy a pen drive. Within a few seconds, the photo in question is shown on the screen. Mr Yeun zooms in on it.

   "Mrs Miller, can you tell me why the smoke in this picture looks rather accurate and clear compared to the subject my client and the vape? Even as I zoom in the smoke doesn't blur out as much as the subject does," he questions.

   "The picture is blurring because of the smoke," she replies.

   Mr Yeun then hands the Judge a paper. "Here is the test done on my client with Mrs Larson's supervision and sign. Taken on the day of the first Herring. The test says my client is clean." He turns and looks in our direction, where Bea is seated. "She always has been."

   "Here is the vape!" the blonde holds out a similar-looking object. "This is the one Ms Dawson used."

   "Ms Miller, are you sure it belonged to my client? If it did shouldn't it be with her? How did u get it?" he questions. Through the gap in her bench, I reach forward and hold Bea's hand. Luckily Lucah and I came super early so we were able to sit behind them.
