family ties

why now?

Lena's: POV
I had to go back to the house after talking to Shannon who called me while we were all on the beach having a good time. Why did Francesca's biological father show up at the group home, it's been three years. When we first started the paperwork of adopting Francesca
Nobody came forward to contest the adoption, there's no way in hell he's getting our daughter back. She's adjusted, l can't believe he thinks he can walked back into her life and claimed what it is his. When he was the one who threw her way, according to Francesca's old cast worker. She was left in front of the church steps, first thing Monday morning l'm gonna call the adoption lawyer to find out what can be done about this situation. Apparently Francesca has a brother who's sick
Shannon didn't go into full detail
I need to call my friend who's a private detective and get him to look up everything about Mr.Matthews
I need to let Stef know about this
This David Matthews doesn't have a clue who he's dealing with, he fucked with the wrong family. Besides Francesca barely knows him, things were going so good with our family and then he comes along trying to destroy what we created. Technically mama being Francesca's maternal grandma on her mother side, can be helpful. Which means mom will have to tell Francesca the truth that she's McKenzie's mother, we kept this a secret to protect Francesca not to hurt her. Hopefully she understands why we did what we did. Back then she was too young to comprehend the ramifications, he wants something or he wouldn't flew all the way to Seattle
Maybe the guilt from abandoning his daughter is eating him alive. He doesn't know about McKenzie's death
This is going to be an emotional rollercoaster, let me pull myself together. I'm so pissed at this David Matthews character for coming back into our lives, this is a battle he won't win. Mama had to sign documents giving us permission to adopt Francesca, he needs to go back to where he came from. No court order will give access to Francesca, if he tries to sue for custody. We have the law on our side, Francesca's in a stable loving environment. I'm pacing back and forth in the living room
I'm trying not to cry, all these thoughts run through my mind
Are we going to lose our daughter
Will he try to take her back.
I need to be prepared for the unexpected in case he tries to pull rank, if he wants to play hard ball
I can get down and dirt to.
I need to consider Francesca's feelings in all this, would she want a relationship with her only sibbing?
