Ugly

Chapter Seventeen

~~The next day~~

Justice had gotten up early and called the insurance company and the contractors to rebuild.

Gracie: "Justice, what can we do with Wesley while we go?"

A knock to the door.

Justice: "That would be the babysitter."

Justice opens the door.

Gracie: "Olivia!"

Olivia: "Hello!"

They hug.

Gracie: "Why are you here?"

Olivia: "I'd like to know myself."

Wesley appears.

Wesley: "May I have a cookie?"

Gracie: "You don't have to ask. Go get one."

Olivia: "Who is that?"

Justice: "My son."

Olivia: What?"

Justice: "We found out last night, that's why you're here. I didn't give MJ many details just that I needed you here."

Gracie: "We have to go to the courthouse to straighten out some stuff. We have no one here."

Justice: "I didn't want my family to find out like this. I didn't want anyone to find out like this. I didn't trust my staff here. He knows I'm his Dad."

Gracie: "Justice, we have to go."

Justice: "Do you mind keeping an eye on him while we go?"

Olivia: "Not at all."

Gracie: "We will explain everything when we get back."

Justice: "Wesley?"

They hear him coming before they see him.

Wesley: "Yeah? I mean, yes, Sir?"

Justice: "You don't have to do that here. This is our friend Olivia. She's going to watch you while we go see your Nene and Paige."

Wesley: "Ok. Can we go swim?"

Justice: "That's up to Olivia. There's a boutique on the bottom floor; get anything you need and charge it to the room. Order room service if you're hungry."

Olivia: "Ok. I got this. Go before you're late."

They make their way to the courthouse. Paige and Laura are already there.

Justice: "I'm surprised she showed."

Gracie: "Me too. I thought she come to her senses."

Paige: "Nice of you to finally show up. Where's Wesley?"

Gracie: "At our hotel. Don't worry; he's well taken care of."

Justice opens the door; they all go in and explain to the lady what they need, and she shows them to an office. They sit in silence until they hear a door open.
