chapter ten. wyatt voight

"How'd you get the social worker to agree to this?" Sam questions Hank, as she, Justin and Hank meet the dcfs worker at a local diner near the district.

"it took some convincing"

Sam's knee bounces uncontrollably as she looks out the window and Justin places his hand on her leg to make it stop and says, "it's gonna be okay, Sammy. Just breathe"

Sam nods her head, taking a deep breath when the social worker walks over to the group and asks, "you guys ready?"

Sam and Justin look at each other in worry that they'll mess this up then they both look at Hank who nods.

Flashback
August 2001

Sam and Justin are laying on Sam's bed watching a movie, when Justin places his hand on the girls growing belly and smiles.

" I love you, you know that. Both of you and I'll never let anything happen to either of you" Justin says, rubbing soothing circles on the girls belly.

"I know. I love you too"

"So, do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?"

"Boy" Sam smiles, "what do you think?"

"Me too and I already have a name picked out"

"Really?" Sam asks, sitting up, "what is it?"

"Joel"

"Joel? I'm not naming my son Joel"

"Why not?"

"He'll get made fun of"

"Well do you have any names?"

"Hmm, what about wyatt?"

"Wyatt...yeah I like that name"

Flashback over

"Just keep in mind, he found out about the adoption last year, so he's really nervous to meet you guys" the social worker says, before walking away from the three to go get Wyatt. Justin leans over the table and asks, "Tell me again why we didn't just go to the house? We have the address"

"Because we need to do this the legal way" Hank says, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in the chair.

"I get it, I just-" Sam cuts Justin off by grabbing his hand and squeezing, "Ow, what-"

Justin's gaze follows Sam's as the social worker walks back into the diner with their son Wyatt next to her.

"He looks exactly like us. that's crazy" Justin says.

"Justin, Sam this is Wyatt. Wyatt, these are your parents" the dcfs worker says, then points to Hank, "And this is your grandfather Hank"

Wyatt does a half wave and says, "Hi"

"It's very nice to meet you, Wyatt" Sam smiles.

"You too" Wyatt says, sitting down next to Hank.

"I'll let you guys be. I'm gonna be down at the other end of the diner if you need me"

"Thanks Cheryl" Hank says, as the social worker walks away.

"So, buddy" Justin smiles, a genuine smile Sam hasn't seen since she told him she was pregnant with wyatt, "Do you have any questions for us?"

"Yes, actually. I wrote them down so I wouldn't forget and color coded them from very important to least important" Wyatt says, taking a couple index cards out from his coat pocket, while Sam, Justin and Hank looked at each other impressed, "Okay, here it goes" Wyatt takes a deep breath, "Why did you give me up?"

Sam and Justin look at each other with sadness both visible in their facial expressions. They knew one day they were gonna have to answer this question. Sam even had what she wanted to say rehearsed in her head, but as soon as she saw her son, everything went right out the window.

"Well, buddy" Justin starts to say, seeing Sam start to tear up, "when we found out that we were having you, we were the happiest people on this entire planet. We couldn't wait to take care of you. The, uh, the day you were born, your great grandfather took you away from us without asking and gave you to your adoptive mom, Kallie"

Sam's grip tightens around Justin's hand as Wyatt says, "Oh. So, you always wanted me?"

Sam chokes back a tear and says, "Of course, sweetheart. We never stopped loving you"

About an hour later, after learning more about each other. Sam and Justin learned that Wyatt is into baseball and he can't wait to try out for the team when he gets into high school. His favorite colors are blue and yellow and his favorite food is pizza. His favorite subject in school is history. Sam, Justin and Hank even found out that he's a very smart kid.

The dcfs worker walks over to the group and tells them it's time to go. Hank, Sam, Justin and Wyatt stand up to say goodbye then hugs both his parents together, who were shocked but very happy.

Sam takes out one of her intelligence cards and writes down her cell phone number along with Hanks and Justin's -with the pen the waitress had brought over with the check- and hands it to her son and says, "If you need anything, just call okay"

"Okay" Wyatt says, flipping the card over, "You're a police officer?"

"I am"

"Cool"

"You think?"

"Definitely"

"Cool" Sam smiles.

Once the social worker and Wyatt leave, Justin pulls Sam into his side and kisses the top of her head.

"Could you tell I was nervous?" Sam asks, jokingly. Hank and Justin chuckle then Justin says, "That was...crazy"

"I'm gonna fight for him. Whatever it takes" Sam says.

"And we'll stand behind you, 100 %" Justin says, "right pops?"

"Yeah"

12 hours later
12:20 a.m

Hank slowly wakes up to his phone ringing and he sits up and looks at the caller ID to see his son's name pop up. "Justin?"

"Pops it's bad. Really bad"

"Justin, calm down. What happened?" Hank asks, sitting up.

"Sh-she's dead"

"Who's dead?"

"Kallie"

"Don't move, I'll be right there"

🌙🌙🌙

Hank and Jay arrive at the home of Kallie Scott, where they see Kallie's body being wheeled away, uniformed officers taping off the house and Wyatt sitting in between Sam and Justin.

"What happened?" Hank questions, walking over to them as Jay sits on the arm rest next to his fiancé and puts an arm around her.

"We're not sure. Wyatt called me at 12:05, freaked out. I got here at 12:15, careful not to wake up anybody and brought Justin with me and then we found Kallie's body at the bottom of the stairs, bleeding from her head" Sam says, and looks at both Justin and Wyatt before looking back at Hank.

"And that's the truth?" Hank asks.

"That's the truth, pops. It looks like an accident" Justin says.

"Wyatt" Hank says, sitting on the couch across from them, "what happened?"

Wyatt looks at Sam who nods her head and he says, "I woke up to a scream and when I went to go see what it was. I saw her at the bottom of the stairs. called 911 then my mom"

Hank sighed and said, "Okay"

~~~

Jay walks out of the house to see Sam and Justin talking next to Hanks black SUV, after closing the door behind Wyatt.

"Hey, can I talk to you?" Jay asks Sam, walking over to the two.

"Yeah. I'll call you later" Sam says, as Justin gets into the passenger side of the vehicle and Hank in the driver's seat.

"I need to ask you something and you promise you won't lie to me"

Sam looks deep into Jay's emerald colored eyes and says, "Are you asking me if this was really an accident?" Jay stays silent, "How could you think I'd kill someone, Jay. I didn't kill her, Justin didn't kill her. She fell down the stairs, you heard Wyatt"

"Sam, I'm sorr-" Sam cuts Jay off and says. "Save it."

Sam gives Jay the car keys and says, "Take the car. I'll have Hank drive me home" then she gets into the back of the SUV next to her son and the vehicle drives off.
