Zoe's P.O.V
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Angela asks.
"Yes, they can't stay with him for any longer," I repeat.
"Okay I'll try and see if I can find a court date for this week," she answers.
"Thank you," I end. I put my phone down and take a seat on the sofa. Since Christmas is now officially over, there are no more videos that need to be uploaded for awhile. I can finally take a break. The kids are out with Alfie and I'm planning on catching up on TV. First off, Fuller House.

Alfie's P.O.V
Zoe needed a relaxing day so I thought why not take the kids out.
"Okay so what should we do today? Zoo, pier, cinema?" I suggest.
They look at each other and whisper some things in the back.
"Pier," they conclude.
"Alright then," I smile. We drove onto the road and parked the car. I grab the kids hand in hand as we make our way in. We walk to the arcade and got some tokens. The kids go nuts and started playing different games. Zoe wasn't kidding when she said they're crazy for arcades. I try and keep up with all their tickets but they always end up with more every ten seconds.
"Okay wait slow down. One person at a time so that you won't lose anything okay?" I ask. They both nod and I felt relieved. Mason was taking his turn at the big wheel game and I thought I should vlog it.
"This is your last token my friend. Make it count...... Okay go," I instruct. He looks up as the wheel circles and circles around.
"Oh my god no way.... Guys he got the jackpot," I gasp. Mason starts jumping up and down as the tickets bursts out.
"It's still going," Melody smiles. Once he gets all his tickets, it was Mel's turn with her last token. She wanted to try the claw game that's physically impossible to win.
"Alfie I can't see," she whines, lifting her arms up. I give the camera to Mason as she was moving the joystick around.
"I want the unicorn," she declares. I help her spot it and she clicks the button. It's picked it up and dropped it in the receiving box. How the hell are they so good at this?
"You two are literally the king and queen of the arcade, like look at this massive unicorn Mel just won," I explain to the vlog. 

We head over and count the tickets total which ended up being 2,674

We head over and count the tickets total which ended up being 2,674. The kids traded it in for some candy and Mason got a monkey pillow pet. We make our way out and see the crepe stand.
"Should we get one for Mummy?" I ask the kids.
"Yeah, Nutella and strawberries," Mason smirks. Yep, he's a total Mama's boy. I get in line and wait for it to be made.
"Did you guys have fun today?" I ask.
"Yeah," they smile. We head back to the car and drive home.
"I got a monkey... I got a unicorn," they inform the vlog. They're so cute. Once we parked in front of the house I grab the camera from the kids and head inside.
"Mummy!" They shout, running through the door.
"Hey babies," she squeals, from the sofa.
"I won this from the claw thingy," Mel beams.
"Wow good job," she replies.
"And I got you a crepe, with the help from Mason," I chuckle, handing it to her.
"Nutella and Strawberries," Mason smiles proudly.
"Aww thanks baby," she kisses. Her phone rings and she springs up to get it. She walks out for a minute while I sat on the couch with the kids, watching whatever was on the TV.

Zoe's P.O.V
"Okay I've managed to get a date set for this Thursday so you will need to be there by 2," she informs.
"Will I see you anytime before then?" I question.
"I'll discuss things further tomorrow," she replies.
"Thank you," I smile.
"That's okay, it's what I'm here for. See you tomorrow at around 1," she asks.
"Sounds good," I end. Thursday is only two more days, I hope Angela can help me pull it off. I walk inside and try to take a seat on the sofa. The kids and Alfie were all knocked out, laying across the sofa. They must be really tired after the arcade. I turn off the TV and snuggle myself in between Alfie and Mason. Then fall asleep along with everyone else.

Marcus's P.O.V
I get a call saying that the court date has bumped up to this Thursday. Fine by me, the sooner I have my kids the better. My lawyer said the case will be fine and have a good outcome. The only problem is Niomi. If she spills about the little incident with Melody and I, things will go down hill.
"Hey can you come here?" I call to Niomi. She soon struts in with her laptop and a confused face.
"What?!" She sighs.
"The court date is set for this Thursday," I inform.
"And what does this have to do with me?" she snarks.
"If you even agree or mention the little incident that happened, the pay checks will end, along with our relationship," I remind. She gives me a glare before nodding and walked back upstairs. Glad I got that handled. I continue searching through Amazon, trying to find some new cameras. Soon I see Niomi walk down the stairs with all her bags and boxes.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I sass.
"Leaving," she answers.
"Why exactly?" I question.
"Cause I'm tired of your bullshit. You can't just threaten me in order to get me to lie for you. I don't need your help anymore. I actually felt bad for you because you didn't ever have a chance to meet your kids or know them. But now I realize that Zoe was right for keeping them away from you. You're just a straight up asshole who doesn't deserve to have them in your life," she snaps, walking out the door.
"So you don't even care about your life? What are you going to do since I'm not there to pay for all your shit?" I shout.
"Work my ass off," she snickers, slamming the door behind her. Now she might tell the court what I really did. I need to come up with something and fast.
