The next morning Brian and AJ are getting ready for court when Nick comes over with breakfast.   “Why are you guys so dressed up?” Nick says putting down the McDonald’s bags and Oj.  “Thanks for the food Nicky, um we have to go to court this morning she’s trying to get custody of Bay.” Brian says grabbing the sandwiches out of the bag and handing one to Aj.  “She can’t do that can she?”  Nick asks panic starting to kick in. “We’re going to try to keep that from happening Nicky.” AJ says between bites.  AJ pulls Nick to the side. “Nicky stay accessible just in case we lose, we’ll need you.” AJ says.  Nick looks into the eyes of his brother and sees fear and uncertainty he nods his head at a lost for words.  “Babe we’ve got to go.” Brian calls to AJ. “Nicky if you leave lock the doors please.”  AJ says walking to the door. They leave.  Nick sits down trying to think what he can do to help but comes up with nothing. He decides to go see Kevin, Kevin always knows what to do.

Meanwhile, at Howie and Viggo’s house they are getting Rain out of the bed.  “Rain are you going to get up?”  Viggo asks.  “Dad it’s not time to get up it’s still early.”  Rain insists. “No, it’s not its 8:30 and if you were in school right now you’d be late so get up.” Viggo says.  Howie   walks over and sits on the  bed.  He starts rubbing Rain’s face.  “If he doesn’t want to get up he doesn’t have to.” Howie says “We can just go pick out all his clothes and stuff.” Howie says getting up going over and standing up by Viggo. “Yeah let’s go pick out the paint for his room and his bed covers too.” Viggo says.  Rain jumps out of bed. “I’m up , I’m up.” He says grabbing his pants and shirt. “Works every time.”  Howie says walking out of the room. Viggo follows behind him. “How did you know he would get up?” Viggo ask. “We use it on AJ on tour when he’s being stubborn and doesn’t want to get up.” Howie says. Viggo and Howie are in the middle of a mini make out session when Rain comes downstairs.  “Aw god, are you guys going to be doing that every morning? “  He asks with fake disgust he actually didn’t mind it because he knew his dad was truly happy.  “Hey just be thankful we didn’t do it on your bed with you in it.” Viggo says.  Rain walks over and starts fixing a bowl of cereal. “What’s on the agenda for the day?” Rain asks “You have to get tested to find out what grade level you are in. Then we’re going to take you shopping for clothes and stuff.” Howie says.  “Can I get a car?” Rain asks hopefully.  “Next  year you can. You’re too young to get a car over here.” Viggo says

Nick goes over to Kevin’s and stands outside obsessively ring the door bell.  “Jerald, go get the door it’s your boyfriend.” Kevin says.  “How do you know it’s him?” Jerald asks walking towards the door.  “Anyone else in the group would be inside by now.” Kevin says.  Jerald opens the door and before Nick can think of anything to say he’s pulled into the house and into a hot kiss. When they broke the kiss Kevin was standing near them and caught Nick before he hit the floor. “Ok if you’re going to be kissing him like that you’d better learn to catch him because I’m not always going to be there bro.”  Kevin says as Nick straightens himself and looks at Jerald. “You’re a Richardson you should know how our mind blowing kisses effect people.”  Kevin says jokingly    Jerald smiles at Nick and Kevin.   “I missed you too “ Nick says . “Kev, I need your advice on something very serious.” Nick says. “What is it Nicky?” Kevin ask taking Nick’s hand and leading him over to the couch.  Jerald follows them to the living room. “Brian and AJ went to court about custody.” Nick explained.  “What? Why the hell didn’t they tell us?” Kevin asked. “I don’t know Kev.” Nick said. “ Call Howie this is a full BSB alert tell him to meet at Brian’s in 20 minutes. I don’t care what he’s doing this trump everything.” Kevin told Nick as Nick was calling Howie.
