Judge: are you employed?

Shane: yes

Judge: would the child have a room

Shane: yes

Gabe: he has a room at my house

Judge: hush, you know what. I have made my decision.

Shane squeezes carmen’s hand. Carmen takes a deep breath.

Judge: first of all. Mrs. Morales-McCutcheon. I can see that your pregnant. how do you
feel about having an older child in your home all of a sudden?

Carmen: I dont have a problem at all. I love Shay and  i feel that shane and i could
give him a good, loving home.

judge: ok(nodding his head), well from what i can tell, these women truly care for this
child. I dont know much about gay parenting but i can tell that they love this child and
isnt that whats important?

Gabe: you cant be serious…

Judge: im very serious. I grant custody to Shane and Carmen McCutcheon. may your family
have a long and happy life.

Gabe: what the hell….(looking at shane and carmen) this is far from over.

Shane and carmen ignore Gabe’s rant and walk out of the courtroom smiling. they walk over
to the case worker.

Ms. Yates: McCutcheon’s?

Shane and Carmen: yes

Ms. Yates: good, how are you Im Marissa Yates and I’m Shay’s case worker.

Shane:how are you

Ms. Yates: Im fine, and i just called Shay’s foster mother and she say’s she can have
Shay ready in the morning.

Shane: ok thats fine by me, how about you babe?

carmen: sounds good to me.

Ms. Yates: well i can come meet you guys in the morning at your hotel and we can go get him.
(giving a flirty smile at shane who pretends not to notice)
Shane: ok

they set up a time and head out there separate ways. Shane opens the car door for carmen
and helps her in before going to the other side and getting in.

Shane: hungry?

carmen: duh, im like growing a person

shane giggles which causes carmen to giggle.

Shane: what do you want?

Carmen: um, taco bell….yea taco bell

Shane: mm ok. thats a new one

Carmen: uh huh

After a stop at taco bell they head back to their hotel and get inside collapsing in bed.

Shane: aw shit

Carmen: whats wrong love?

Shane: forgot my phone in the car be right back.

Carmen: ok babe…(enjoying her taco bell)

shane jogs down the stairs heading to the car. She opens the door and begins the search
for her phone between the seat and she hears footsteps rapidly approaching behind her.
she turns around and feels an instant fist to her face.
