BPLS: The Finale

Fights and Heartbreak

A couple weeks went by, and today was Bre's first court day fighting custody. She was really worried..the baby wasn't even born yet and it may already be taken from her. The girls were here for support. Prod was back in town, but she asked him to stay at her place for help with Beautiful by herself.

Bre walked into the courtroom and the first person she saw was Jacob. She looked at him hurt and disgusted. She watched as he leaned over and whispered something in his lawyers ear. She got to her place and they all rose as the judge walked in.

Judge: Case 629, Breaunna Womack-Latimore verses defendant Jacob Latimore. Now, we are here for the settlement of a divorce and custody of the 3 children you have, correct?

Bre: Yes, you're honor.

Judge: Jake Latimore, Beautiful Womack-Crippen, and you are currently pregnant with the third?

Bre: Yes.

Judge: Ok, now can you explain to me your side of the story of why you're here today?

Bre: Yes you're honor. It all a few months ago when Jacob slowly started to not come home. He would claim he was at work all the time, in the studio. It really started to affect the kids and our relationship so I had a talk with him. This continued to go on for months until I felt our marriage was falling apart. So..we went to counseling and I found out the times he had claimed to be working he had been having an affair with his assistant. After that I was pretty much devastated and fed up with the lies and cheating.

Judge: Ok and it also says here Mr. Latimore is suing for $3,500 for the damage done to his car and emotional distress.

JL(Jacobs Lawyer): Correct.

Bre: What?!

Judge: Ms. Womack, is there a problem?

BL: My client was not aware that we were being sued.

Judge: Ok well I can guarantee that this will not be settled today in this courtroom. It's obvious that this has not been discussed between lawyers and none of this is in order. So, I'm going to send you home, you're going to consult with your lawyers come up with a time and date to meet and try to settle some of this on your own before wasting time in my courtroom. Court adjourned. *leaves*

Bre: *walks over to Jacob* How dare you...sue ME? Emotional distress my ass! You're just a greedy, low down dirty ass dog! And I'll make damn sure you never get to see this baby if it's the last thing I do. *walks out*

Bahja: Bre! *her and Nique follow*

Nique: Bre are you ok?

Bre: Hell no I'm not ok!! I can't believe him!!! He cheats on me TWICE, and he's going through emotional distress?! Really?

Bahja: It'll be ok Bre...we will do anything we can to help. We're on your side ok?

Bre: Thanks...I gotta go home and check on Prod and the kids.

NIQUES (That Night)

Nique: Roc, I know we're not really on speaking terms right now but we need to talk.

Roc: About the plane ticket you bought to L.A.?

Nique: How did you-

Roc: You should really start shutting down your computer before you leave the house.

Nique: So you snooped?

Roc: No, I needed to use the computer when I got home from work this morning and the first thing I saw was your receipt.

Nique: Well yes, I'm going to L.A.

Roc: To talk to Ray?

Nique: Yes.

Roc: Why? As much as I put into keeping this family safe you're doing everything to put us in danger. I obviously can't stop you from talking to that bastard. Why, I don't know. But I'm not about to let you put my kids in danger.

Nique: Because he doesn't remember. Roc I'm serious! He doesn't remember!

Roc: He may not remember but if he believes the BS you're feeding him he's still crazy.

Nique: Look, I know how you feel about him. I feel the same way. If I didn't think he was dangerous, I wouldn't of bought a gun for protection.

Roc: You did what?

Nique: You didn't find that receipt on my computer now did you?

Roc: Where is it?

Nique: Don't worry, it's packed away in the basement. I only take it out when I go to L.A.

Roc: And how are you getting it through airports?

Nique: My husband is a cop, if you know people, I know people.

Roc: I don't like this. Where is it?

Nique: Look, I'm doing this for the sake of our family believe it or not. Ray doesn't remember. And if he believes all this stuff I'm telling him, then there's no reason for him to try to remember the other stuff.

Roc: But what if I'm right and it's all an act. What if he remembers and knows you're lying? What do you think he's gonna do to you when he gets out?

Nique: He is in no shape to get out of that place anytime soon.

Roc: You don't know that Zonnique!! Stop acting like you know everything! You're not a doctor! This plan is going to backfire...and I swear if this man comes after my daughters and this baby it won't be pretty.

Nique: Think what you want. My plan is working and it's keeping us safe. I'm done arguing.
