You wake up at 10 am to Sam crying and josh not in bed
You sit up and see josh coming into the room with Sam on his hip

There's a knock on the door and you go to open it
It's Bryce
Hey kiddo

No we still got over an hour
It takes 40 minutes to get there so we need to leave in 30 minutes
Ok wait down here
You go up and get changed into this outfit
You do your hair and go down
Josh is holding Sam
Me and Bryce are going now you say
Sure he says and kisses you a couple of times
Ok ok that's enough Bryce says and you pull away
I'll see you later Josh says
You bet you say winking and Bryce goes to his car
You go to leave and josh smacks your ass

He just chuckles and you leave
You get there after 30 minutes
You ready Bryce says
Yeah you?

He smiles and you go in
You see your mom and your dad together
Hey sweeties your mom says
Don't talk to us we don't know you Bryce says
What? It's me your mom
No it's Madison to us you say and she looks at your dad
Hi guys
Hey dad Bryce says
Hi you say
The lawyer calls you in and you sit down when the judge says
The defense calls you up on the stand and you're surprised
What? You whisper to Bryce
Just tell the truth Bryce says and you go up
So you're Nicolas Austin's daughter is that correct?
Yes I am
How does your dad react in bad situations
Objection irrelevant your lawyer says
Sustained the judge says
The question miss Austin
Um he keeps calm sometimes
Sometimes?? The defense says confused
Yeah I mean he has a temper don't get me wrong but he is a good guy our mom causes drama and that's when he'll shout but he won't get violent
Clearly he did
You don't know him
I think I do he is just a violent man who should go to jail
You look at Bryce who is nodding his head telling you to not shout
He is a good man you say clenching your jaw
No further question your honour the defense says sitting down
No questions your lawyer says and you sit back next to Bryce
Are you ok he asks
Yeah
The jury is adjourned to decide the result
You go to a cafe and get a iced latte
You get Bryce a hot coffee and go to him when josh texts you
Hey my love is everything ok? I'm going to the podcast studio Sam is at sway text me please I love you 💚
Hi babe yeah everything is ok the jury is just deciding if he is guilty or not I love you too
You put your phone away and talk with Bryce until the defense calls everyone in
Have you got a decision the judge asks the jury
Yes we do we find the defendant Nicolas Austin guilty of all charges and he should do 1 year in jail
Your heart drops and the bailiff takes your dad
You look at Bryce and see he is upset
Your mom tries coming to you but you brush past her and go to your dad
I love you he says
I love you too dad I'll come visit
He gets taken away and you go with Bryce to his car
It'll be ok kiddo
Yeah I know
He drives you to sway where you get Sam and plan to go back into Bryce's car but Jaden stops you
What happened he asks
He's been sentenced to one year you say choking on your words
In jail?
You nod yes and he hugs you
Do you want to stay here he asks
No it's ok I'm gonna go home josh will be home soon so I'll just go
Ok I'm here if you need me
Thank you you say hugging him and you go to leave when you see mads come in
Hey mads you say softly
What are you doing here she asks
I just had to get Sam because I went to court
So get out she says
Don't be mean babe jaden says
I'm gonna go
Yn wait
Let her go if you want me she says
It's fine I'll text you if you need anything
Please don't text him mads says
Why not? You ask
He'll be with me mads says
Just leave it girls jaden says
You walk out and put Sam in the car seat that Bryce had
Where did you get this from
I'm prepared he says and you giggle
You go home
Thanks for the ride
Any day he says and drives off
You go in and put Sam in his nursery
You go into your room and see josh
Hi my love he says looking up
Hey you say quietly
What's wrong
Nothing everything is fine
He looks at you not buying the tough girl act
Fine my dad got sentenced to one year in prison but it's fine
No it's clearly not come sit down he says
I just want to get a hoodie and some sweatpants first
Ok he says and you wear one of his hoodies with the matching sweatpants
Really? Mine?? He asks when you lay on the bed
What can I say I love your hoodies you say and he kisses you
Sam starts crying again
I'll go this time josh says and he brings Sam into the room
You play with him until josh puts his arm around you pulling you
I'm always here for you ok? he says
I know I'm here for you too you say
You kiss him and carry on playing with Sam
Do you want dinner josh
What? Are you going to make it?
Yeah he says
Ok I don't mind but I have to feed Sam anyway
You go down with him and put Sam in his high chair
You get his food out when josh comes behind you
I love you he whispers kissing your neck
I love you too baby but this is absurd Sam is right there and he will start crying if we do anything
Never have kids he says
Too bad I'm stuck with 2 little boys
What? We only have one child- oh he says with his jaw dropping
Pick your jaw up Richards
That's not fair I'm not a little boy I'm a man
You're 19 you say
So? Look at my muscles he says flexing
I mean damn you look good in that pose
Oh do I now?
Of course
He chuckles to himself and you get Sam's food out of the microwave oven
You feed it to him after it's been cooled down
Josh makes the string cheese inside the pasta and puts it in the oven
Baby I'm gonna put Sam to sleep you say after 20 minutes
Here's his bottle of milk
You smile and take him upstairs to put him to sleep
You rock him in your arms while feeding him his milk
Josh comes up
My love food is ready he says
Ok I'll be down in a minute you whisper
He goes downstairs and you put Sam down into his crib
You close his door and go downstairs
Josh is eating and you kiss his cheek
He looks at you and smiles
He gives you a plate and you pour some
You eat and he gets dessert out
Did you make this you ask when you wash the dishes
No I bought it what do you think I am a chef?? He says
You look in the fridge
We need groceries I'll go tomorrow you say
We will go together he says
I'll probably go in the morning
Wake me up
Baby I'll go by myself
Please don't he says
Fine but then we will have to take Sam
No we don't we can leave him
Are you crazy no we can't he's a couple of days old
I'm joking he says and you go upstairs
He takes his shirt off and you lay in bed
He lays in between your legs and you do a TikTok showing him
Caption: @joshrichards 😌
Josh kisses you
I'm here for you if you ever need to talk he says
I know but I'd rather not
You can't just keep it bottled up inside he says
I'll tell you when it gets worse
Ok
You fall asleep at 12 am
