"No ma, I'm fine. Yeah he's good. She's getting bigger, that's for sure. She kinda reminds me of mom when she was pregnant with Emmett. She doesn't do anything but eat. Yeah sure. I love you too. Bye"
Rooney hung up the phone and looked up at the ceiling. It was Sunday and she had promised Eve to go with her to the Jacobs trial, before driving back home. She hadn't been in contact with her teacher since she kissed her goodbye and Rooney was scared what the woman would say to her. Would she yell at her? Would she leave her alone? Would she even request to have Rooney transferred to another class?
"Rooney?", Henry called her out breaking her from her thoughts and Rooney turned to him with a smile.
"Eve is here", he said and she nodded standing from the couch and walking out of the living room, meeting Eve by the door. Rooney stopped in her tracks, immediately remembering back to the kiss and how great her lips tasted. But Eve didn't give out a single clue. She just smiled at her like nothing had ever happened.
"Hey Rooney, are you ready? The trial should start in about thirty minutes", she said and Rooney nodded and walked over to her brother hugging him tight.
"Mom told me to tell you that you should call as soon as Hanna has given birth", she said and Henry smiled and nodded.
"Of course. I'll do that", he said pulling back from the hug and turned to Eve.
"Take care of her", he said sternly and Eve nodded smiling.
"Of course. I'll do anything for Rooney", she said turning to the girl and said girl looked her in the eyes for a few seconds before turning to Henry.
"Where's Hanna?"
"She's still sleeping, I'll tell her you said goodbye",
Rooney nodded and kissed his cheek before taking her bag and walking out of the house. Eve smiled at Henry before walking out of the house as well. The drive was a long drive with silence. None of them said anything. None of them didn't know what to say really. When they arrived at the courthouse, they walked in and Eve showed her license, noticing the guard eyeing Rooney suspicious.
"She's with me", she said and the guard nodded and they walked inside. They walked toward the courtroom and was met by Annalise, Bonnie and the student's standing outside.
"Annalise", Bonnie said turning to Eve and Rooney, and Annalise turned around meeting the woman and girl walking towards them.
"You made it", she said smiling and Rooney nodded and smiled, but didn't say anything further and Annalise could immediately feel the tension.
"Rooney, why don't you go with my students while I talk to Eve for a moment?", Annalise asked and Rooney hesitated for a moment looking at Eve who smiled assuringly at her, before nodding and walking over to Laurel who smiled at her.
"Are you able to sit in the second chair with me?", Annalise asked her and Eve furrowed her eyebrows turning to Bonnie who nodded.
"I can't sit there, because I'm working with Connor on another case", she said and Eve nodded turning to Annalise.
"How long is it gonna take? Because I have to get Rooney back home", she said and Annalise nodded in understanding.
"Of course. Just sit there for today. Bonnie can take the rest", she said and Eve sighed and nodded making Annalise smile before turning to the students.
"Alright, everybody knows the plan. Connor, you go with Bonnie. The rest of you, inside now", she ordered and Connor and Bonnie walked away while the rest walked inside the courtroom. Rooney widened her eyes in wonder, her mouth open, as she walked inside a courtroom for the first time in her life. It was just like on tv, just so much better.
