"Absolutely. I’m hopeful that the opening arguments will be over within an hour or two, and then it’ll be time for Tina to take the stand"
"Ok" the blonde nodded nervously.
"Is there somewhere we can wait?" Bette asked, placing a hand on the small of her girlfriend’s back.
"There’s a witness room right up here, I’ll take you to it. We have a separate room for prosecution witnesses so you don’t have to worry about being disturbed"
"Thanks"
The two women followed Joyce a few hundred metres up the corridor to the witness room.
"Any last questions before I go and get ready?"
"What sort of things do you think they’ll ask me?" Tina asked.
"I’m not going to lie to you, the Defence Attorney, Faye Buckley, she’s a nasty piece of work. She’ll attempt to discredit you or pull holes in your story. Failing that, she tends to go for character assassination. But all you have to do is keep calm, and tell your story. She won’t find any holes because you’re telling the truth. And I can’t see much that she can say against your character"
"Ok"
"Right, well the clerk will be in to get you when we’re ready for you. Depending on how long it takes, the Judge may take a lunch break following the opening arguments. But you’ll be kept informed"
"Thank you"
And with that, Joyce left the two women alone.
*****************************************
As Joyce had predicted, the Judge had taken a recess after the opening arguments and the court was scheduled to resume at 1pm. With five minutes to go, Tina was visibly shaking.
"Come here" Bette said softly, pulling her into her arms.
"What if I just go blank and forget everything? What if they make out I’m lying?"
"They’ll see you baby, and they’ll see what a good person you are. Just focus on the questions and tell the truth. It’s all gonna be ok"
The brunette leant down and kissed her lover softly. They stayed in each other’s arms until a knock came on the door.
"Miss Kennard?" asked the young man, sticking his head around the door.
"Yes?"
"We’re ready for you"
The blonde turned to Bette for one last kiss before she followed the clerk.

I have a feeling that Bette’s going to rip Faye Buckley a new ass! “Bring it on you fucking dwarf”

Tina’s father is unbelievable! I love how you wrote the court room chapter. The questions were realistic and I think Tina did a good job answering them. Thanks for the post!
That nasty Faye Buckley..wait until Bette gets ahold of her! Your grasp of the US Judicial system was exactly right..great chapter! Time for ice cream for dinner..lol!
It was indeed my intention. I see you’re putting some professional experience in this chapter, or am I completely wrong and has this got nothing to do with your job? LOVED the chapter. Loved the last line as well. Wow, can’t believe this is the 40th chapter already – where’s the time when it was The Wedding 6 and The Wedding 7? Heck, where’s the time when it was The Wedding 1?

40th chapter….its gone so fast cant wait for the next 40 thank you.
Oh boy! Faye Buckley!I hate that fucking bitch! I hate her so much that I swear it physically hurts! I wish I could have all the people who are like her in a stadium and burn it down! Sorry, you just hit home with that one and I feel a little overprotective over Theo’s feelings (That’s why she won’t comment in the trial’s chapters. I hope you understand and she asks for your forgiveness). To tell you the truth, we didn’t see a trial coming and that’s your fault young lady! You blinded us with all the HOT fucking between our favourite girls and we couldn’t see clearly! Please, make Bette nail her and I promise you I will persuade Theo to do whatever you want in our threesome!LMAO! BTW, what changed your mind and it’s on again? Not that I’m complaining, I’m just asking. And since Genner is fine with that… too much possibilities ;) if you know what I mean. Thank you for sharing with us this amazing story. Amazing work for another chapter but you know that already. Kisses
Good job as always!! Can’t wait to see justice prevail!
I’m sure Faye Buckley thinks she’s rather clever and will trick the jury into believing something that’s untrue… sly cow that she is. I just hope Joyce is actually more clever than that, and plays really dirty. Thanks for posting! :)
*evil laugh* I can’t wait for Bette to take the stand. Thanks, chica! Back to *cringe* stats.
Great update. Tina did a good job on the stand and I’m sure Bette will also. I have one question though; I wonder if Joyce has called Tina’s mother to be witness for the prosecution since he abused the mother and Tina and did not abuse the sister. Her appearance and testimony would show his pattern of behavior, the physical abuse of them from early on, especially the wife and he abused Tina physically because she would defend her mother and talk back to him. That all needs to be brought out about him. Although her testimony would not have anything to do with the matter at hand but that bit of information would go a long way to sway the jury on Tina’s behalf and show that he was an abusive person from early on, starting with his wife and that would be very important for the prosection. Thought the chapter was great. Thanks for posting.
Forgot this bit. Also how he bullied them all and got the other daughter to do anything that he wanted her to do because she was afraid of him and afraid not to do as he said or she would have been next. Joyce should go all the way with the questioning almost to the point of badgering the witness because she needs to continue to show the pattern of behavior of abuse. Thanks.
i do hope that Faye Buckley is just doing her job and is not the same homophobe she was on a show…tina indeed did a great job, her father should go away for life
God I really loathe Faye Buckley and I think you should allow Bette to have a feast with her.
I can’t remember if I’ve commented before, but it has been 40 chapters. How time flies when your enjoying the read. Great choices in the the attorneys. Joyce and Faye fighting against each other can only bring great court room drama.
Thanks BealsBaby for sharing this marvelous story! 40 chapters and counting for more :-) Yup, great choice for putting Joyce vs Faye! Can’t wait to see Bette slaughter Faye while Joyce guard the corner :-p PPVS!
Looking forward to the next 40 chapters.Please not too much drama,ok?Thank you for this great story.
I’m liking the fact Tina and Bette have been together over 7months now and how you have made the trial realistic in the timeline, Tina did a great job on the stand. Can I just say I love Joyce Wishnia she has that likeable quality even if she was straight *laughs*. Bette gets to take care of Tina in a different manner which is nice to see how they relate to each other in different scenario’s. Bette’s testimony will be interesting I’m sure of it, great work on all 40 chapters I’ve surprised myself how much I’ve managed to get into and thoroughly enjoy the storyline and where you’re taking it! Ppvs Caramel
Didn’t have a chance to read before today… Great chapter, as always, I love how you describe the court room as well, very realistic. God I hate that woman, Faye Buckley, in the show I just wanted to punch her in the face and the same goes for now. Anyway, congrats for your 40th chapter!! It really went on so fast I didn’t even realize it was already 40. U rock!!
Hiya BB, The drama really has exploded in the story as Tina’s dad’s trial begins. Tina was anxious and nervous at first but with the truth and Bette on her side she got through her testimony with flying colors. Simply telling the trith is the best here as I am sure that the jury will see through JOhn’s week defense. The man tried to kill her daugther after she stood up to him and refused to marry Henry. Henry lying about Tina’s mom’s health was unforgiveable. Tina stood tall especailly after Faye’s attack. I can’t wait to read Bette point of view on the stand. Bette was there waiting for Tina when she was done and quickly wrapped her up and offer Tina the protection she needs at this moment. I do hope Bette manages to teach Faye a few things about respect. I can’t wait. Many thanks and much approeciation for the comments and frequent post. Your Loyal Fan.
