*Rena's POV*

It's time, it's time to finally gain my "freedom" back. People might still look at me when I go out at times, but it won't be as often. I can finally be normal like everyone else.

I slid on my fitted black dress, and I put my arms through the sleeves. I started putting on my makeup, taking my time. Ashton then opened the bathroom door, and he sent me a small smile.

I smiled back as I added some blush. "Babe you don't have to dress up for this." Ashton said. "But we're gonna be on TV Ashton, and people are going to be watching us from all over Australia." I said.

I put my brush down and turned around to face him. "It'll be ok." He said while smiling. I sighed and hugged him softly.

"I hope so." I mumbled. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck softly. I rolled my eyes and smiled while rubbing his back.

We pulled away, and he slowly examined my outfit. "You look hot though..." He growled. I rolled my eyes and blushed harshly.

"Thanks..." I mumbled while looking down and smiling. "But you do." He said as he pinched my butt. I let out a high squeal and playfully glared at him, but he just smirked and wiggled his eyebrow.

"I love you." I said as I pinched his cheek. "Love you more." He said while smiling. I walked out of the bathroom and went into my closet.

I grabbed my black high heels and slipped them on. I walked back into my bedroom, and Ashton gave me a wide smile. "Ready?" He asked as he took my hand.

"Not really, but let's get thing over with..." I mumbled as I walked downstairs with him. I saw my sisters talking to Mrs. Jones, and I smiled and walked up to her hand in hand with Ashton. "Hello Miss Lovelace, you ready?" She asked.

I let out a nervous breath and shakily nodded. "Don't be nervous, it'll be ok." She said. I nervously smiled and shrugged. "I hope so..." I mumbled.

We all walked out of the house, and I saw some paparazzi in the driveway snapping pictures. Ashton automatically pulled me close and squeezed my hand softly. He pretty much pulled me into the limo with him and slammed the door shut.

He pulled me into his side and let out a long breath. I looked up at him, and he was slightly pale and shaky. "You ok?" I asked.

He let out a long breath and nodded no. "This is slightly overwhelming and scary." He said as a tear came down his cheek.

"Why are you crying? It'll be ok, please don't cry." I said as I wiped his tear away from his cheek. He started crying even more, causing me to tear up slightly. "Ashton..." I said as I hugged him tightly.

"I feel like I can't help you with anything that's happened to you, I feel helpless." He cried into my shoulder. "Ashton, you've helped me through a lot. You've helped me through my hard times. Trust me, you have. You'd hang out with me to study, but you'd usually come over only to hang out with me. Ashton, I'm pregnant with our baby. We can do this; I promise it'll be ok." I said as I kissed his cheek.

I felt him smile against my skin and nod. "I hope it'll be ok." He mumbled with his lips against my skin. I smiled slightly as we pulled away from each other.

I then saw that I left the red mark on his cheek when I kissed him, causing me to giggle. "What?" He asked in confusion. "I left a red lipstick mark on your face when I kissed you." I said.

His face flushed a deep red as a small smile grew in his face. Mrs. Jones and my sisters finally got into the car after answering a bunch of random questions. They slammed the doors shut, and Arena looked at Ashton for a good while.

"You have a... Lipstick mark on your cheek." She said while hiding her smirk even though it was clear as day. "I know..." Ashton said while smiling. Mrs. Jones handed him a cloth that she apparently had, and Ashton wiped the lipstick off of his cheek.

"Thanks." Ashton said as he handed it back to her. "Anytime." She said as she took it from him. The limo started moving, and we all sat in a silence on our way to the court. 'Please let everything be ok...' I thought.

*1 ½ hours later*

We pulled up in front of a huge court house, causing shivers to run down my spine. Curses ran through my mind as we all got out of the limo. I saw Luke being held back by security, and his eyes landed on us.

"GUYS TELL HIM TO LET ME COME WITH YOU!!" He shouted. Arena, Ashton and I walked up to the security guard, and we firmly told him that Luke was with us. He obeyed and let Luke pass, but blocked the others.

Arena embraced Luke in her arms, and he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Why are you here?" I heard Arena ask. "Because I want to see your sister get called out as not guilty." I heard Luke say.

I smiled but kept on walking up to the court house. Ashton and I walked in, and we automatically got swarmed by the paparazzi like we were famous! I groaned and looked down, blocking the flashing camera lights.

I felt Ashton pull me gently while pushing through the paparazzi. We went into a small room, and we slammed the door shut behind us. I let out a long breath and sat down in one of the chairs.

"I can't do this..." I mumbled. "We can Rena, it'll be over soon." Ashton said as he bent down to my level. He kissed my cheek, causing my face to flush a deep red.

He chuckled at my reaction while squeezing my thigh. I giggled, but then he stopped as he heard the door open. My sisters, Luke, and Mrs. Jones came in and locked the door behind them.

"Ok, so this is how it's going to work." Mrs. Jones started. She started explaining everything, but I only listened to what I had to do. 'Please get me out of this.' I thought.

*20 minutes later*

"All rise." The judge barked. We all stood up, and I gripped onto my dress. "Ashton Irwin?" He asked as he looked up from a file.

"Yes sir?" Ashton asked in a shaky tone. "Come up to the stand please." The judge said. Ashton looked at me, and I nodded slightly so it was only visible to him.

He let out a long breath and walked up to the stand. He sat down in the chair and he hesitantly looked up at the crowd. "So Mr. Irwin, when did you first meet Rena?"

*45 minutes later*

"Alright, the jury will make their decision. Your dismissed." The judge said. He hit his hammer (I forgot what they're called) against the large podium, and everyone broke out into their own conversation.

I let out a shaky breath and put my face in my hands. "Hey, it'll be ok." Ashton said as he placed his hand on my shoulder. "What if I'm guilty?" I whimpered ass I allowed tears to flow down my cheeks.

"You won't be guilty. We gave off plenty of evidence, so that should be enough for them to call you out as not guilty. You'll be-" "Already?!" The judge shouted. Everyone stopped talking from the shock in his voice, and we all turned our attention towards him.

One of the police officers handed him a file, and he opened it and read through it. He let out a long breath and placed his lips up to the microphone. "Rena is..."
