Jasmine Stories/Page7

Chapter 7
It took a week until it custody trial. Jasmine had to wait in the witness room. There were a lot of pennies in there. Jasmine just sat in the corner and waited. The guard came over and tried to get her to play but she refused.

Meanwhile in the court room Eve was aruging why her and Mark should keep Jasmine.

"Your houner Jasmine is very unstabel and since her visit with Dean she has been even more unstabel. If anyone even says his name she loses it. She doset want to leave the house for fear she wont be able to come back. Also she has nightmares about being taken away from Mark and I. Giving custody to Dean your hounor would be very damaging to her."

"Is that your oppion as her her mother or her psychiatrist?" the judge asked.

"As her psychiatrist Sir."

"Anything else Madam?" The judge asked eyeing her coldly.

"no your hounor" Eve said trying to sound as profesional as possibal.

The Judge looked over at Dean and his lawyer.

"In my court people speak for them selvs. Do you have anything to say Mr.Petersion?"

"Yes your hounor I do" Dean said cooly. "Jasmine and I were married for over many happy years. I would like to raise her myself. She means the world to me. I know she needs help but ovasly she isnt getting it staying where she is now or she would be doing better. I have a friend who is a psychiatrist. Jasmine would be visiting with her everyday. I love my wife. I want her to get better your hounor and shes not where she is." Dean said all of this with fake sincerlty and a thick coat of charm.

The judge left the room and came back about 15 minutes later.

"All rise" came the comand. Everyone stood as the judge walked in.

"Be seated" he said as he looked over some papers. "Seeing as how Jasmine has not improved at all since she has been with the Roberts I'm going to grant cusdety to Dean Peterson."

Mark and Eve couldn't belive what they had just heard.

"She will be moved in one week. Mr and Mrs Roberts I sudgest you get everything of her packed and ready to go by then All agurened."

Jasmine assumed everything was fine since she had gone home with her Mommy and Daddy. But after almost a week of all fun and Daddy not going to work Jas was starting to get worried. Jasmine decied to do a little test. It was dinner time and she decied not to eat.

"Jasmine you have to eat." Her Daddy said.

"No." Jasmine said hopeing that she would at least get scoled.

"Jasmine. Do you want me to make you something else?" Mommy asked

Jasmine took her plate and threw it across the room where it shatered on the wall. Then she took her glass and threw it to. That's when Daddy grabed her and landed one swat on her bottom.

"young lady that is a big no no." Mark said

Jasmine looked up at him. "DADDY WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" she yelled then ran upto her room.

Mark looked at Eve.

"We have to tell her. The move is in 2 days." Mark said as he got up from the tabel.

Eve put her head in her hands. "I know."

Mark went over to Eve and put his arms around her. "We'll get her back I promise."

Once Mark had Eve calmed down they went upstairs. Mark knoked on the door and slowly opend the handel. He saw Jasmine laying on her bed with her Teddy and Dolly. There were all sorts of toys all over the floor. She had thrown all her clothes on the floor and had taken of her bedding. She was crying hard. Eve walked over to her picked her up and held her as tight as she could crying right just as hard as Jasmine. Mark went over and sat next to Eve rubbing hers and Jasmines back while they cried. After both girls had finished crying Mark decied it was time to tell Jasmine.

"Jasmine Mommy and I need to talk to you about something." Mark said "I know you think that the judge said mommy and I could keep you but he didn't. Day after tomorrow you are going to go live with dean."

Jasmine looked up at her Daddy. She could see he was sad. She was making her daddy sad. She made her Daddy sad. Jasmine jumped into her Daddies arms and started hugging him.

"I'm sorry Daddy don't be sad I sorry Daddy please." Jasmine kept saying that and crying until her words werent understandable. Both Mommy and Daddy both tried to get her calmed down but they couldn't. Jasmine cried until she fell asleep.

Mark held her for a long time after she'd fallen asleep. He finnaly laid her down and went to his and Eves room where Eve was sitting at her desk looking threw papers.

"She thinks this her fault. I dont want to lose her."

Eve looked up at Mark. "Maybe we don't have to lose her."
