"Yes. It was a complete accident. I'll tell you what happened. We were having a great time, the best I've had since I can remember. We were running through his hotel and he stumbled so I looked down to see if he tripped on something and I slipped on my own shoe laces. I swear that's all that happened" I tell the judge, standing behind the court podium with Miss Lydia next to me, Troye and a lawyer directly across from us.

"Very well, Miss Riley. Tell me what you think of Mr. Sivan"

"Well" I look over at him and he silently encourages me to go on. "He's not like anybody I've ever met before. I've never clicked with anyone so quickly. I got scared many times of different things when I was with him, but not once was it because of him. And when that did happen, he made me feel so safe. I've never fought so strongly about a person as I do with Troye. I don't want to be with anyone else, I want him in my life. Troye is so strong. He can handle anything that comes at him. I've been hurting alot these past few weeks, I really miss Troye. At night I cry until I can't breath because I worry I'm going to get another family that I don't want. I only want Troye. I need Troye. He's everything I pictured a father would be like. I love him"

Troye is crying hard now, Tyler passing him tissues from the row behind him.

"Jess, if you can give me a good reason as to why I should hand you over to Mr. Sivan, I'll take it into consideration"

I flinch at the judge and see Troye cringe at my state of pain.

"Because, judge. Because I just found something out that terrifies me. I'm only young, and I'm scared. Troye is the only person I want to be with me when I'm scared, when I'm hurt, when I'm sad, when I'm crying, and when I'm happy. He's the only person I want to be with when I succeed. I want him to be a big part of my life. Please judge, I'm really freaked out. I'm pregnant and I'm scared. I just want to be with Troye, please" I press my hands to the podium, hanging my head and avoiding the stares as I cry hard. "I just want everything to be fixed" I speak up again. "I don't want everyone to be fighting again"

"Mr. Sivan can you present me a copy of any insurance forms and proof that Jess will be picked up on and covered in all medical expenses" With shaky hands, a crying Troye hands over the needed papers as I keep my gaze averted away.

"Very well. I believe that being brought here was of no need and that Mr. Sivan should of had full custody of his daughter. Mr. Sivan is granted all, no-limited, full custody of Jessica Riley and 100,000 in the payment method of his choice for unneeded court visit. Case dismissed" As soon as the mallet hits, I run to Troye, throwing myself into his arms as we both sob.

"I told you, Jess. I told you it would be okay" He cries.

"A-Are you gonna help me with the baby?" I ask smally.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I? We'll talk more later, it'll be okay. Now, I believe I promised I'd these you to Chinese after I got you" Troye says, tipping my chin up as he looks at me with his head tilted.

"I believe you did" I smile through the tears.

"Keys, Tyler. We're going to Chinese"
