*One month later*
Melody stood in court next to her mom and lawyer, she was nervous. She just wanted her son back. She glanced behind her and saw Aidan looking sad. He hadn't noticed his mom yet. Soon court started and the judge started speaking. "Alright, Ms.Summers. Your son got sent to his fathers one month ago?" Melody cleared her throat, "Yes." the judge nodded and looked at the papers in front of him. "Ms. Summers it says right here that you have a history with substances and the man Mr. Ronald Radke that you have staying with you also has a history with substances and violence. He was jailed for two years for being an accomplice to a murder?" Melody felt tears weld up but she pushed them back. "That is true." She spoke the truth. "Alright, Mr. Mora, you say in the four years of your sons life you never got to meet him?" The judge asked turning to CC. "Yes." CC said. "And why is that?" The judge asked again. "I'm not sure your honer." The judge turned to Melody, "Ms.Summers why is it Mr. Mora has not met his son." Melody looked at the judge and spoke even though she didn't want Aidan to hear it. "Christian had told me when I fell pregnant that he wasn't ready to be a father. He had showed up at the hospital when i gave birth but he never once came into the room to meet Aidan. I had stayed here in California for one and a half years before deciding to move to Texas. In that one and half year Christian did not contact me or answer my texts or emails. My guess is he simply didn't want Aidan." The judge nodded and looked to CC. "Mr. Mora is this true?" CC looked at the judge ashamed and nodded, "Yes." "Then why the sudden interest in having him for yourself? Mr. Mora do you have any idea how hard it is to take care of a four year old?" The judge spoke looking at him. "I.. I just met him and i just felt that i'd be a better fit. Theres no telling when Melody could crack and relapse. The reason we have Aidan is because she got drunk after years of not drinking." The judge looked to Melody, "Ms.Summers Have you gotten intoxicated since the night you conceived your son?" "No sir i haven't"
The bailiff walked over to the judge and handed him an envelope. "We have your test results in Ms. Summers along with Mr. Radke's." melody nodded and held her moms hand tight even though she knew she her self was clean she didn't know if Ronnie was. "Melody Summers your test results came back negative for all substances. Ronald's did as well." Melody hugged her mom tightly and cried. "Does this mean I get my son back?" She asked. The judge smiled and nodded. "Yes." Melody turned around and saw Aidan looking at her she smiled and ran to where he was. "Baby you get to come home." She whispered in his ear. "Forever?" He asked. "Yes baby forever."
*three weeks later.*
"Mommy whats for dinner?" Aidan said as he skipped into the kitchen. "Salad and chicken seasoned with taco seasoning." Melody said as she flipped a chicken breast. "Is Ronnie coming over?" Melody smiled. "Actually baby Ronnie is moving in today." Aidan's eyes lit up. "Mommy can Willow come over soon too?" Melody turned around and smiled at Aidan, "Maybe, I'll talk to Crissy." Aidan smiled and climbed up the bar stool to sit down. "Mommy..." He said sounding serious. "Yes baby." Melody said "When i was at CC's house I really missed you..All we ate was pizza and cereal. It was fun for a little bit but i missed real food." Melody turned around and smiled sadly at her son. "It's okay baby. i'll give you all of the real food you want." Aidan smiled at her he looked up to his mother a lot. He didn't know his dad well enough to look up to as anything. Of course he inherited his love for drums from his dad but he found out about it by watching music videos. Then when they moved back he saw Ryan play the drums once and started to want to be like him.
The front door opened and in walked Ronnie with his bags of clothes and other personal items. "Ronnie!?" Aidan yelled from the kitchen. "Aidan!" Ronnie yelled back smiling. Aidan jumped off the stool he was sitting on and ran towards Ronnie and hugged his legs. "Mommy told me you're moving in?" Aidan said in the form of a question. "Yes I am." Ronnie walked to the kitchen with Aidan still attached to his leg. "Melody smiled as she plated the last of the food for Ronnie. "Just in time for dinner." She said after kissing Ronnie.
Melody was walking down the stairs after putting Aidan to bed. She heard Ronnie sigh so she walked into the kitchen and looked at him. "Babe what's wrong?" She asked. He looked up at her and shook his head, "Max left the band. He said for personal reasons. I'm..I'm not even sure what those reasons are." Melody furrowed her eye brows. "He seemed a little down last band practice..Maybe he just is confused about things." She said. "Yeah maybe." Ronnie said. "Can you stay here with Aidan? I have to go do something.." Melody said after a few minutes. "Yeah sure." Melody nodded and got up to get her shoes on and her keys. She did all that and made her journey to Max's house. She sighed as she parked in front of his apartment. It took her a few minutes but she finally got out and walked up the stairs to knock on the door.
"Melody?" Max asked after he opened the door. "Yeah, Max we need to talk." She pushed him aside and walked into his apartment. "Melody what's going on?" melody turned around and looked at him. "You left the band?!" she asked Max sighed, "Yeah I did." Melody pinched the bridge of her nose. "Why?" she asked. "Because...There's someone in the band that has someone I want..That i've wanted for years..But i kept fucking it up. I need to move on so i took the first step." Melody looked at him confused but then slowly realized who he was talking about. "Max... You.. No you don't.... Max you hate me." Max laughed. "Don't you fucking get it? I've used that as a cover. The more i got to know you the more I fell in love with you. I just made it seem like it was hate. Melody, I.. I just can't be around you and Ronnie any more I need to move on I--Melody cut him off "Max kiss me." "What?" He asked. "Fucking kiss me ass hole." He quickly pressed his lips to hers kissing her passionately walking towards the wall pushing her into it. Melody tangled her hands in his hair and moaned. Max pulled away leaving them both breathless. "Oh my god." melody said.
