A/n: Sorry for the late update, my internet has been SERIOUS nonsense. Hope you enjoy.

~Thursday~

Michael and William met with Arthur on Wednesday and today they were meeting with Michael's ex-wife and her lawyer.

W: Do you want me to come with you today?

Mi: Definitely but only if you're not busy at work.

W: I'm not, I've been working my behind off so that I could have the morning off and you can call Lydia to verify that.

Mi: That's not necessary and she'll probably say that there is no work even if there is.

W: Yeah, she probably would. She's been with me since I started the firm.

Mi: Loyal secretaries and employees in general are hard to find.

W: Mm-hm.

...

J: Good morning.

C & M: Morning. (They said as the three of the came downstairs)

Mi: Morning, loves.

W: Morning boys, breakfast is almost done.

C: Okay.

Mi: So boys, aunt Olivia is going to be picking you guys up after school and you'll stay with her until dad and I come pick you up.

J: Are you meeting with my mother today?

Mi: Yes bud.

J: Okay.

W: Are you okay? (He asked putting the food down)

J: Yeah, I don't want to live with her. I want to stay with you guys, dad. (He said with tears in his eyes)

W: We will do everything we can to make sure that you stay with us, okay. (He said pulling Jake into a hug)

...

Michael and William drove the boys to school, getting good lucks form all three boys.

A: So, we talked about everything yesterday but is there anything else that you guys want to ask before we go in?

W: It's still okay if I go in right?

A: Absolutely, you're his partner. You have every right to be there.

W: Okay, Michael?

Mi: No, nothing. Let's just get this over with please.

A: This way.

Arthur led William and Michael into the conference room where they were met by Michael's ex-wife, Britney and her lawyer. Britney and her lawyer stood up as soon as they walked in.

A: Good morning. (He said as he and his clients went to sit down opposite Britney and Kyle, her lawyer)

K: Can we get straight to business please because my client is a very busy woman.

Mi: Too busy for her own son... (He said grimly)

K: Control your client please.

A: Now that everyone is settled, let's get down to business.

K: My client wants custody of her son.

A: On what grounds because there is nothing here that proves her competence.
