"Now, Ms. Lewis, I think this was a very cruel thing to do, to a small family. Mr. McLean, you never learned who the mother of this child was, until last night. The woman who had your baby, to whom, you are the father of, according to the test, kept you away from knowing that she was the mother, because of her boyfriend, who killed her. Ms. Lewis you had no right to even think of getting a family back with such trial and love that had to go on, in order for him to keep his little girl." the judge paused. Looking at Becka who was climbing over the railing, showing her grandmother a picture she drew.

"Ms. Lewis, I expect you to pay ten thousand for everyday this family had to be in court for no reason at all, you knew that she wasn't your daughter, but you needed the money. Am I right?"

"Yes." she said.

"Your honor, I don't need any money." AJ said.

"Well, what would you like to do with the money?" he asked.

"Give it to charity, we don't need it. As long as other people can be happy with it, I'm just happy this is over with."

"Twenty thousand will go to your daughter for her education, while the rest we will send to charity." AJ nodded and grabbed Becka from the railing.

"If you can't pay the money Ms. Lewis, you will be put in jail for this. Which you should, but that would be too easy for you. Court is adjourned, Mr. McLean take good care of your little girl." AJ smiled kissing her head.

"I will." he said.

AJ and Becka walked into the house, and fell right asleep on the couch. AJ's tie was taken half way off, while Becka slept in her nice pants and sweater. When the phone rang, AJ picked it up, moving to not wake up Becka. The calls kept on coming about the good news, when he unhooked the doorbell, and the phone and went upstairs with Becka to play with her.

"Daddy?" She asked sitting on his lap.

"What sweetie?"

"Am I going to live with that blonde lady?"

"Nope, you're all mine."

"Then who's my mommy?"

"Sweetie..."
