I've always been able to login with just email and password, but now a decade later it is wanting me to enter in a 6 digit code sent to the email associating with the account that I no longer have access to. No use contacting Google, I hardly used the email so I just wouldn't even be able to verify anything. The thought of losing all my family pictures from that time makes me ill. Do I need to get a lawyer or how do I go about verifying ownership without the email?

Unfortunately, your email address is the only way to verify an account. If you no longer have access to the email address and you're being sent a verification code, you'll need access to the email address before you can gain access to the account. Your best option is to contact the mail provider and see if the email account can be reactivated.
