Chapter Text
Doc was late to the courtroom. Bdubs looked annoyed as he looked at the clock again but before he could rule in Cleos favor they saw Doc finally come in. And Joe now had a new defense sitting in the creepers womb. Even though Cleo was upset she was about to help him to his seat but Joe beat her to it. She frowned at the fact it must of been a long walk for him. Joe helped him into his seat as Bdubs frowned. "Were going to take a short break to let the defendant catch his breath." Joe was instantly fanning him with a folder. "You should have let me know that you needed help." Doc just pouted as Cleo was bringing him water
He took it with a huff. Chugging it as he let Joe fan him. "Can i request the baby bump be submitted for evidence?" Doc looked confused but Bdubs nodded. "Open up your shirt." Doc did what he was asked as the cubs shifted to get more comfortable. Having a all out brawl as Cleo started to rub circles into the baby bump to soothe the angry litter. "I think we should hold off on the trial. I don't think Doc is fit to stand... period." Cleo saw the smoke be snorted out of Docs nose at her comment as Joe frowned. "I disagree. He shouldn't have come all this way for nothing. And have him wait so long. That is a gross miscarriage of justice." Cleo couldn't help but flinch at that word as she hand both hands on the bump.
Doc was able to finally relax and catch his breath as the litter seamed to settle down as well. "Your honor I ask that you now keep the evidence in mind as I saw my client clearly is quite hormonal." Doc snarled at Joe for that comment. Cleo knew Doc wouldn't calm down with a litter but he was definitely slowed down. "As the judge I'm going to declare a mistrial. No one wins." Cleo shook her head as she looked at Doc. "Want something to eat?" Docs face went from pinned back ears bearing his fangs to floppy relaxed ears and looking up happily. She could see why Ren liked him. He was cute when not being a giant madman. "I'll take that as a yes."
