The Sun [Book 3] (Adam Levine FanFic)

Chapter 2

-Whiskey's P.O.V.-

It's amazing what can happen within twenty-four hours. One night I'm celebrating my winning an Oscar award and the next, I'm here with, my stomach is in my throat. With each step up the concrete stairs, my shoes become more and more filled with lead. My breath starts to escape my lungs faster and faster, making me sound like I just ran a marathon. Suits and pencil skirts manouver around me like I'm a crocodile in the road, not paying mind to me or Adam. Of course I should be more pressng, after all, today is a big day: The judge give us his decision on the custody of Sydney.

We enter the gray court house and proceed through security. Adam is still talking very animate to me, yet, I only hear but I'm not listening. I put my purse on the conveyor belt and step through the metal detector. What if, the judge decides I'm not good enough to raise my daughter? What if, the judge tells me Sydney is going to have to go live with Simon or Patsy for the rest of her life or at least untill she's 18… I don't think I'll be able to live with myself. I pick up my purse and proceed to the courtroom. I don't even look to see if Adam is with me. As soon as I confront the room, a mixture of glee and fear invade my heart.

A warm hands grips onto mine and startling me," Whiskey, are you ok?"

I turn to Adam and shake my head,"I'm so nervous and terrified I think I'm going to throw up."

He raises both of my hands to his chest,"Whiskey everything is going to be fine. Everything happens for a reason, and no matter what Sydney is going to love you all the same."

I bite the inside of my cheek,"But what if it doesn't turn out right, and I never get to see her, and she hates me for not trying hard enough."

"Hey, hey, that's not going to happen. You've tried so hard all ready, and I highly doubt she'll hate you. If any thing, she'll cherish the few moments she has with you. But that won't happen ok. Everything is going to be ok," Adam whispers gently to me, as he raises my hands to his lips and kisses them,"Now, let me wipe your eyes, and then go in."

"Ok," I sigh, breathing out my nervousness and fear, as Adam's thumb runs across my cheek,"Let's go."

As soon the door opens and we step in the court room, the cool air almost chokes me. I start to feel scared again, but I grind my teeth and change my walk. As fast as it came, my fear leaves and is replaced with sheer confidence. I take my seat next to my lawyer and patiently wait for the judge.

-Adam's P.O.V.-

I'm probably more scared about this than she is, only because at least Whiskey had her for two years. Those two years I didn't spend much time with her, and when I did get her, I only had her for a couple months, and then she was taken away from me. Now more than anything, I want to spend time with her. I may have missed when she started walking and when she started to talk, but I sure as hell not going to miss anything else.

The baliff stands up and with a voice that sounds like a cannon says,"All stand for the honorable Judge Clinton."

Everyone, like a fleet of soldiers stand up, all eyes on the judges chair. Eventually the judge let's us sit down. The baliff goes on to explain the case and I start to twitch. I'm really nervous for her. My mind starts to wander in all sorts of directions.

"Your honor, may the prose…"

"Thank you so much mom, for everything," I say, squeezing her tight,"If it weren't for you none of this would have happened."

"Anything for you two," She smiles and Whiskey gives her a hug.

"Thank you so much Patsy, you really were a big component to our success," Whiskey says.

"No problem, it was a blast," My mom says smiling. She turns around and hands me the last bag,"That's it."

"Ok, thanks again mom, Love you," I say hugging her again and walking towards the car.

"Love you too," My mom says before she starts her car and drives out of the parking lot.

I get into the car, turn it on and look in the back seat,"You ready to go home?"

"Yea," Sydney shouts, clutching onto her doll,"Do I get to play with Ky?"

Whiskey and I chuckle,"Of course you do."

"Yay!"

Whiskey turns to me,"So, now that we have our darling daughter back, what's the first thing we should do?"
