19 year old, Merena who was never close to any of her family even though they lived in the same house. She never trusted anyone but her twin sister, Mercedes. Her mom had died in a car crash when she was 8 and their dad has been taking care of them...
I was getting ready for court. This was going to be messy. I was having my nanny watch the kids here while I went to court. I trusted her with my kids already because she has her own kids. I took a look over myself
"You look beautiful," the nanny, Julissa said
"Thanks. Can you take my picture by the patio door?"
She nodded and took my phone. I posed and she took pictures

I decided to wear something comfy because suits made me uncomfortable. She gave me my phone back and I put it in my purse. I grabbed my keys off the counter
"Their schedule should be on their changing table and make sure you read the labels on the breast milk because Mikayla eats more"
"Got it," she said
"Thanks a lot," I said hugging her
"No problem," she said hugging me back
I let go from the hug and left the house. I got in my car and headed to the courthouse
At The Courthouse
We were 30 mintues into the court session. I was about to go up on the stand to present my evidence. Rock went up there already but really couldn't answer the questions my lawyer had for him
"Miss Jacobs would you come up to the stand please?" The judge had said
I nodded my head and walked up to the stand and put my hand on the Bible
"Do you promise to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" The judged asked
"Yes. I do your honor"
"You may have a seat," he said
I sat down in the chair and faced Rock's Lawyer. Turns out our lawyers worked in the same building
"Now Miss Jacobs, what is your occupation?" His lawyer asked
"I am a current hair stylist at my own shop called Independent"
"I have heard that your shop has a barber shop, nail salon, and beauty bar also. Am I correct?" He asked
"Yes"
"Do you have your physical license with you?" He asked
I nodded and passed them to the judge
"Looks good to me," the judge said and handed them back
"Now do you have a stable home?" He asked
"Yes sir I do. I have a 3 bedroom house and 4 bathrooms"
"Does your baby girl have her own room?" He asked
"Yes"
"Okay. So what makes you fit to have full custody of your children?"
"Well Mr. Wright is always at his tattoo shop and wouldn't have time for the kids. The kids that he currently has never get to spend time with him. Mr. Wright also neglected my kids even before they got out the womb. He also came to the hospital with anger when the nurses would not let him in. I feel like I am fit because I have enough income for the kids, a big enough house for them to have their own rooms. I buy all their clothes, diapers, wipes, and anything else they ever need. My house has been baby secured even before they were born. My house is honestly a safe place for my kids. I don't think Mr. Wright has time for them. He doesn't know how to change a diaper, he doesn't know how to make a bottle, he doesn't even know how to dress a baby. He also hasn't given me any money or even tried to give me anything to support these kids"
"Thank you Miss Jacobs," the lawyer said
"You may step down from the stand", the judge said
I got up and went to sit back down with my lawyer. I wiped my tears with a tissue and cleared my throat
"Everybody in the court room stand please," the judge said "It is clear who deserves custody for these kids. Miss Jacobs I grant you full custody of Mikayla Jacobs and Mikael Jacobs. This case is now closed. Miss Jacobs pick up your paperwork at the front desk"
"Thank you"
He nodded and gave me a small smile. I looked over at Rock and he mugged me. I hugged my lawyer
"Thank you so much"
"No problem. Take care of my babies now," she said
"I will"
We have each other a small smile and I walked out. I picked up my paperwork and walked out the office
"MERENA!" Rock yelled
I turned around and there was Rock
"Please don't make me get a restraining order on you for me and my kids"
"I had a part in making these kids too Merena!" He said
"You neglected them and left me all alone. You took the girls with you and you know how much they meant to me! YOU DID! AND NOW YOU WANNA COME BACK AND CLAIM THEM! DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU HOPED MY KIDS DIE AND ROT IN HELL?!"
"Merena I-" I cut him off
"MERENA NOTHING! NOW STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME AND MY KIDS!"
I walked off and got in my car. I left him there and sent a quick text to my lawyer telling her that I needed restraining orders on Rock for me and my kids. I drove back home and my assistant got the U-Haul like asked. New York here I come!
