*Asiah's POV*
Victoria was right about her 'connections' I don't know how but she got us family attorney, Rodney Hopkins, he thinks we're more likely to get Alexis because we're a stable relationship and have proper finances for raising a child.
“You ready to go?” Elijah asks me
“Yes” I look at myself one more time before grabbing my purse I walk out the bathroom and he's sitting on the bed in a suit
“Damn, babe you really know how to clean up” I say winking at him
“Thanks babe” he says plying with his tie.
With custody cases like this one the child usually has to stay with a group home but Rodney pulled some strings so Alexis will be staying with Victoria until the case is over.
Elijah's phone rings “Babe can you get that?” he asks
“Yeah” I pull his phone out his pocket “Hello”
“Hey, Asiah, are you guys on your way to the court house?”
“Yes, we'll be there soon”
“Okay, see you guys soon”
“Bye, see you soon”
“Who was that?” Elijah asks
“Rodney”
“What did he want? Is something wrong?”
“Babe, relax he just wanted to know if we're on our way”
“Oh, I'm sorry I'm just a little nervous”
I rub his leg “That's okay so am I”
We walk into the courthouse “Hi, you guys ready?” Rodney asks us
“Yeah, but we're kinda of nervous” Eli says intertwining his hand with mine
“That's okay just keep breathing and try not to look nervous in front of the judge”
“Okay”
“Let's go”
We walk into the room already sitting at their table is Cassidy and her lawyer who is also her brother he looks like the male version of his sister. We sit at our table “We're going to wait until the judge gets here then we'll both opening statements”
“Is that all--” before I could finish my question the bailiff starts talking
“All rise the honorable Judge Richard is here”
Everyone in the courtroom stands up the Judge Richard come in his black robe then sits on the bench
“Bailiff please read the case file”
The bailiff opens a manila folder
“Cassidy Hall vs. Elijah Jackson & Asiah Wright about the custody of Alexis Dominique Jackson”
“Okay counsel you may began”
“Your honor this is a simple custody my clients Elijah Jackson and Asiah Wright are engaged couple who have busy lives; _ he stands up and points to Elijah _ Mr. Jackson is currently in medical school practicing to becoming a pediatrician while _ he points to me_ Miss. Wright owns her dance studio. Even though both those activities keep Mr. Jackson and Miss. Wright busy they still make time for Alexis Jackson the child that they've been raising together over the past year” Rodney says giving his opening statement he sits back down beside Elijah
