I'm keeping my promise an new update.

Here is the chapter we all have been waiting for


Myrna's POV

" We do have to talk Rachel"

" Please just give me 5 minutes that's all I ask from you"

" Well those 5 minutes start now so better make them worthy"

" Okay..."

And so the talk started, Looking at Rachel I didn't recognize her anymore. This is not the girl I used to be friends with at school, what has happened to us

1 hour later

After the talk with Rachel I had made my way over to the courtroom. Jon was waiting for me at the entrance, Aimee had walked in with Colby, Joe, Stephan, Kat and Ryan. Jon wrapped his arm around me when he saw me.

" Are you okay?"

" Yes I'm"

" Where did you go?"

" There was a little parc I just needed to clear my head and prepare myself of what is coming"

" I love you so much whatever happens we will get through this"

" I know Jon, now let's go in"

" Have you seen Rachel, she came in a couple of minutes ago. She was crying" Jon spoke while he grabbed my hand

" No I haven't seen her but let's go in. let's get this over with"

Jon pulled me close to him and stared at me, did he know that Rachel and I talked. I pulled him close to me before we walked in. I was ready for whatever was coming although it was scary. Walking into the courtroom I took a deep breath and looked around the room, seeing all the faces of my close friends and family. Looking at Aimee's little face I saw how happy she was and I just hoped the judge would see that to. I sat down and felt Jon's hand on my shoulder squeezing it softly. The judge walked in and sat down, let's do this.

" Ladies and gentleman we are here in the case Myrna Crowley versus Rachel Patten, regarding Custody off Aimee Patten" the Clerk spoke

" I will allow both parties to speak for one last time before I make my final decision. Miss Crowley may go first" The Judge spoke

I took a deep breath and stood up

" I'm asking you to grant me full custody of Aimee Patten, This young girl is my goddaughter and I believe she is being raised in a violent and dangerous environment while she is with her biological parents. I want to give her everything that is entitled to, A house that's safe, a family that loves her and a real childhood. Coming from a disrupted childhood myself I know what it means to have those things. I never got these things and I will do everything within my power to give it to her. Once upon a time Rachel and I were close friends and we would promise each other that we would always do better than our own parents. Rachel comes from a broken home as so do I. So seeing this all happen hurts not just a young girl who has not asked for this situation but also hurts me as a friend, as a sister but also the young teenager still in me. I love that little girl and I already consider her as my daughter, She is not the only one being saved. Aimee saved me from my past. We are doing this together, Aimee has made an impact on so many lives, Please I ask you... no I beg you. Grant me the custody over Aimee, Thank you" Those last words had me in tears

I sat down and felt the tears stream down my face, I have said everything I wanted to and there is no way back. I looked to my left and saw that I had hit a nerve with my words, Rachel was staring into space but I could see that she remembers that promise. I see how Ray, Jerry and their lawyer are discussing who is speaking. But then out of nowhere Rachel stand up straight with a look I haven't seen in awhile.

" Your honor may I speak?" She asks the judge

" You may"

" I know what I have to say or let me rephrase that I know what my lawyer wants me to say. But I will not speak his words, I will speak my own words"

Jerry, Ray and their lawyer tried to pull her down, when the judge raised her voice.

" ENOUGH LET HER SPEAK" The man sat down

" Grant Myrna custody" Rachel spoke

The wind got knocked out my lungs, this hit me more than Stephen's punch or taking Randy's RKO, did she just say that for real.

" Why should I grant her custody?" The judge asked

" Because she is right, I'm not capable or raising my daughter in a safe environment, I can't give her the family that she has with Myrna, I can't give her the real childhood she deserves. I am from a broken family, when I got pregnant I made a promise to her that I would do everything better than my own mother has done to me. My mother should have given me up to someone that was capable of taking care of me. My mother had issues and never got herself fixed, If she would have got herself fixed than she and I might have gotten a relationship. That didn't happen. I do want to get myself fixed and I do want somewhere in the future a relationship with my daughter but right now I can't. So please grant Myrna custody, she will love her like I should love Aimee, She will take care of Aimee like I should have. She and Jon are providing Aimee the family that Ray and I aren't. She is a true mother and the most kind person with a heart made out of pure gold. They say motherhood is a road with many sacrifices, so let me make this sacrifice by giving up Aimee to someone who herself has made many sacrifices throughout her life. I ask you Myrna please give me a change in the future with Aimee but let me heal myself first before I can do that. I ask you, your honor to grant Myrna Crowley custody over Aimee Patten so she can take care of that little girl the way a mother should. Thank you"

She sat down and the whole room was dead silent. I looked at her, there was the Rachel I met at college. She looked at me and gave me a weak smile, like she was embarrassed by what she just had done. I stood up from my chair and walked over her, wrapping my arms around her. We both softly started crying.

" Thank you for having faith in my with taking care of your daughter"

" You will be an amazing mother to her" She whisperd

" Ladies please sit down" The judge spoke

I nodded and walked over to my seat, I saw Jon's shocked face and Aimee's massive smile. Looking at Pia she nodded at me with approval.

" Miss Patten" The judge spoke, Rachel shot up in her chair

" Yes your honor"

" Thank you for your words, throughout this whole process I have been wondering if you know what it means to be a mother. The words you just spoke made it clear for me you do know. You do have a lot of work to do and it is not safe for you to be a mother. Miss Crowley?"

I shot up looking at her

" Yes your honor"

" You do know what it means to be a mother, when I look at little Aimee I see a young happy little girl enjoying her childhood. Like it should be, That's why I am granting Myrna Crowley full custody over Aimee Patten"

Aimee started screaming of joy, Colby, Stephen, Joe, Ryan, Kat and everybody else started cheering. I heard how jerry, Ray and their lawyer started protesting. I looked at Rachel and mouth thank you, she just nodded. She made peace with the situation I turned my face to Jon and I saw the tears roll down his face. We have Won we got Aimee, she is ours!
