I'm a woman that always fights for what I want. Especially my family. There's nothing I wouldn't do for Alec, but what he's asking of me is too much. When did we start drifting apart? When did he stop being on my side? The moment I got the call from the social worker, I went into momma bear mode, ready to fight for the kid who had become like a son to me. But Alec? He wants to play nice and get along with Reid's so-called family. Why did they wait so long to come for him? Why now? Is it because of his money? I don't trust them, and I'm not about to hand him over without a fight.
