《HIS BABY》CHAPTER TWENTY
Advertisement
It is the day of the court hearing; Cole has not said a word in the last few hours. I am eight weeks pregnant having a little morning sickness which just drains me. Arrive at Kenna's nursery, the teacher wanted to speak to me about Kenna starting school in two months. Listening to what she had to say, thinking my baby girl is growing so fast.
When I did finally leave, I met up with Chanel for a coffee before setting off to the court. Cole and Gable had a meeting with the lawyers. Then they are meeting us at the court. My stomach is in knots hoping Cole wins but, at the same time, I am worried what Joshua might do next. Chanel sits down opposite me. "Gable, never spoke a word this morning". She tells me. Looking down at my cup thinking about what the hell is going on.
"Cole is the same". Look at my sister, who looks upset too. "Chanel, just hope and pray they can win". Her hand clenches mine.
"Let's hope so". She replies. We finish our drinks, then leave. Walking towards the court, we could see a lot of media just waiting for that story. Chanel hooks my arm while we push our way through to the court entrance. We enter the building to see Cole and Gable stood with a team of lawyers talking. Glance around my eyes look straight at Joshua who is staring at me. He smirks, then walks into the courtroom with Pierce.
Cole steps towards me taking my hand kissing me gently then we proceed to walk into the courtroom. We all take our seats. Cole and Gable sitting with his lawyers. Joshua and Pierce with their team of lawyers. Chanel holds my hand while we wait for the hearing to start. Cole looks over at me, I could see he is angry with the whole situation. Leaning forward he kisses my cheek then the clerk asks us all to stand for the judge to enter the room. When she enters we all sit quietly while she is reading over the paperwork.
Joshua kept looking over at Cole making suggestions with his hands plus smiling at him. Cole never bites back which is what Joshua wanted him to do. Sit waiting for the argument to start but, all the judge does is shakes her head. She looks up from her desk looking at both parties then shaking her head. "It is beyond me why a family is filled with so much hatred to one another". She pauses for a while just looking at both parties. "Well, I would like to hear both arguments. Shall we begin". She nods to Cole's lawyers. His lawyer stands with a paper in his hand reading to the judge.
"My client is only here because of what his brother is trying to do. The facts, in this case, are clear that the parents left all possessions and assets to all four sons". The judge nods. "Therefore, the will is ironclad, and the business cannot be demised. The four brothers have equal shares in this billion-pound business but, Mr Joshua Kennedy wants the full rights to take over". The other Lawyer stands up.

"My client just wants what is rightfully his". My god, Joshua is not going to stop. "My client is the head of the family and thinks that it is in the best interest of the company if he takes over has the sole CEO". Cole looks over at his two brothers shaking his head. Gable looked shocked just like Cole does.
"My clients will contest against the proposal. The last will and testament of their late parent's state that all four boys would have an equal share. There is also a clause in the condition of the shares which I would like to share with you". Joshua gasps and whispers to his lawyers.
"I have no recollect of this clause they have mentioned". Joshua's lawyers are now looking through all the paperwork to find this clause that Cole's lawyer has clearly gone through with a fine-tooth comb. The judge looks over at Joshua then at Cole.
"Do you need more time?". She asks Joshua's lawyers... He whispers to them.
"Please your honour". They reply.
"I will give you an hour. Court adjourned till two this afternoon". She picks her gavel up bangs on her desk then leaves. Cole looks at me with a smile. We leave just sitting outside the courtroom. We watched Joshua's lawyers rush frantically to a room to sort out the paperwork.
Sit with Cole his fingers threaded with mine my head resting on his shoulder. "Savannah, are you feeling all right?". Smiling at him he kisses my forehead. He looks so fine in his suit showing me how well put together he is.
Savannah looks tired and it is only early in the day. She has had morning sickness but, still looks beautiful. Place my arm around her while we waited for the court to start again. Joshua certainly looked shocked by what our team of lawyers have found. Gable stood with Chanel in his arms, Pierce plus Joshua looked at him with a shocked expression.
Our lawyers walk back towards us ready to enter the room again. We are called but, Joshua's team of lawyers have not returned. We sit waiting for a few minutes then they walk in taking their seats. The judge enters and we start again with the arguments. "Please resume". The judge says to my brother's team. His lawyer stands then proceeds.
"We have found the clause in the last will and testament. It stipulates that none of the brothers is able to sell their share they hold or try and gain full ownership of the company. Each share solely belongs to the individual if they so wish to stand down as the shareowner it has to be passed to their living children if they are under the consent age which in this case is sixteen the share will be entrusted with the trustee which in this case is the company lawyers". Gable looks at me with a smile.
"This is bullshit". Joshua shouts. The judge shoots him a look.

"I will not have an outburst like that in my court". She looks over at me one of my lawyers stands up.
"The clause also states that if a person or persons is seen not fit to hold his share then that share should be equally shared between the remaining brothers". The judge nods.
"Hearing both sides I have read over all the paperwork and have found that this family needs counselling to sort out any issues you may have. So I propose that you attend the court counselling twice a week for six months and I will read the report at that time then make my decision. The court is adjourned for six months if any of you miss the sessions without a good enough reason I will have no other choice than to grant the petition in Cole and Gable's favour". She stands then leaves. Turning to Savannah she takes my hand.
"Cole you need to play nicely". Smiling at her words we leave to pick Kenna up.
Sit in the lounge with Gable wondering how the hell this counselling is going to accomplish anything. Looking at my glass with a shot of whiskey in hoping that Joshua fucks this up. I did not want to do this but, if it means having a peace of mind then I am willing to try anything just so Joshua leaves Savannah alone.
The stress is not good for her while she is pregnant plus if and when he finds out he will try something again. Place the glass to my lips down my shot Savannah walks in. Tilting my head look at her stood in her tight jeans with a shirt tucked in her long hair wild from where her fingers have combed through, her smile showing me her beauty.
Move my hands from my lap to let her sit. She places her tiny ass on my lap burying her head in the crook of my neck. Feeling her warm breath on my neck making me tingle for her but, I had things on my mind from the day's events.
Place my arm around her pull her tight we sit just not saying a word for some time before Gable stands. "I am beat". Tilt my head towards him giving him a smile. "Cole, you know Joshua will fuck this up". Nodding to him he walks out the door. My hand reaches to the table to place my glass. Wrap both arms around Savannah burying my face in the crook of her neck.
"Cole, babe you have done all you can now it is up to him". She is right. Fighting him is exhausting. But, having the courage to carry on to show him he cannot do this is, is what I have to do. We retire to our room. Get in the shower feeling relaxed is all I wanted then my wife joined me is a gift that I did need. Pull her close to me gently kissing her using my hands to smooth lightly over her skin.
Take her succulent tits in my mouth pull at her nipples with my teeth, gently open her legs thrusting a finger inside her feel the warm moist. She turns bends forward my rock-hard cock in my hand ready to penetrate her deeply. Enter her moist cunt my hand's cup her tits my moves slow like taking deep breaths.
My lips press over her back with kisses. Moving a little faster she moans the bathroom steaming up grasp her hips pull her tight on me while penetrating her deeper her head tilts back my lips now on her neck my tongue gliding on the smoothness of her skin. Wrap my arms tightly around her to push deeper. Knocking the air from her body her breathing gets deeper, her orgasm takes control her body judders while I fill her with my cum. Rest my head on her back catching my breath from the steam that is filling the bathroom. She stands up straight turns to face me.
"You have nothing to fear". Her hands cupping my cheeks. "Cole, you are a good man. You take care of us. I will always be here for you". Her soft words meaning so much to me. Taking her in my embrace.
"Savannah, you are my life and so are my children". Looking deep in her eyes. "I love you, so no matter what he tries, or does you will always be first". Kissing her she smiles we wash then get into bed. I laid in the darkness listening to Savannah sleep. The day's events are still circling around in my head. Not knowing how the counselling is going to go or what tactic Joshua would use all I know is not to let my guard down for my sake and for Savannah's sake.
Achieving something from all this is going to be harder than they think. Would we have to talk about our parents? I have no idea and being the youngest watching how Joshua acted when our parents died had left me wanting answers from him. And maybe just maybe I will get to find out what actually happened that fateful night and why Joshua chose not to ride with them?. Yes, I have question plus I feel like he had something to do with the death of our parents plus his wife at the time. Closing my eyes to try to sleep. My body would not relax at first but then Savannah's hand touches my face lightly I turn to pull her to me. Enter into dreamland.
