Chapter 7

North wasn’t sure where he’d lost control, but it was sort of funny too. The bailiff had helped him add chairs to his side of the table. Not only was his dad there, but all four of his uncles, Shelton, and Amy. Only because there wasn’t any place for her to sit on the other side of the room while she was in her wheelchair.

When the judge was seated, she cocked a brow at him. “Is an invasion going to happen here today, Mr. Wilkerson? Or have you decided to have all your family here to celebrate your birthday or something?”

“No, ma’am. They’re here for support, they told me.” She looked at the men and waved back at his dad when he waved at her. “I believe we’re working up to becoming Wilkersons and Son soon.”

“Are they the silent part of the Wilkersons? From what I’ve heard, the lot of them have been having a wonderful time since they’ve been released from their marital bonds. I’m happy for them, but see no reason for them to have to sit in a courtroom all day.” He nodded, and all of them explained how they were here for each other, talking over one another and getting louder each time they were making a point. “I guess I was wrong. They’re not all that silent, are they?”

“No, Your Honor. More the overly opinionated part of the firm. I’m enjoying their input, if nothing else. It’s nice having them around. Don’t you think?” She said it was even better to see them smiling again. “Yes, I must agree with you there. But they are here for support. If you’d rather they took another place to support from afar, I’m sure they’ll move.”

“No, I sort of like seeing a supportive family. In my line of work, I see more splitting of a family rather than something like this.” She looked at his mother-in-law, Fran, and then at Phoenix. “I’m thinking this is just the kind of case I was thinking about. Well, what are we taking on first here? Divorce, hit and run, or damage and attempted murder?”

“I’m sorry. I thought this was just for the divorce.” She picked up the folders that had been handed to her and looked them over. “I wasn’t prepared to handle the other cases today. I’m not saying I won’t, I just hadn’t been made aware of the changes.”

“Give me a moment, North.” He knew this woman well. Her Honorable Lorinda Wessex had taught at the college where he’d gone for a long time until her promotion to the bench. He knew her to be fair and smart. She was also a no-nonsense type of judge. “From what I’m seeing here, it looks like it won’t take you much in prep work. If it looks like it’s not going to work, I’ll reschedule the other hearing. You tell me when we get to them if you feel like you can handle it. I’m sure some of the staff you have there can make you some notes on it.
