A Different Way To Finding Each Other

It's My Money Too

Jack Adams Foster was caught in AJs room as the older boy got mad. "What are you doing in here?" AJ asked. "You broke in? Don't you ever learn?"

"What is going on here and with the two of you?" Lena asked.

"He was in my room mama," AJ replied.

"You need to lock your door AJ," Lena replied as she eyed Jack with a glare.

"I did. He broke the door down and he never learns and now I can't lock it," the sixteen year old replied mad as hell. "He has done this before, remember?"

"No I haven't," Jack replied.

"Yes you did. You broke into Caleb and Callum's shared room and stole things too. This is the same thing, but you didn't take anything."

"Shut up," Jack added. "You don't know what you are talking about."

"All I know is that you broke in here by kicking the door in," AJ added as Lena sighed as she went to see the door and it was indeed broken. "What is this Jackson?" Lena asked.

"I just came to see the money," Jack added.

"What money?" AJ asked.

"The money Sean left you and I know about since Uncle Mike told me."

AJ and Lena sighed. So Stef had told Mike and he told Jack and this just hit the damn fan as Lena sighed and eyed AJ and Jack.

"Jack. AJs Uncle Sean left him money, but this does not concern you," Lena added.

"Yes it does," Jack added. "I was adopted into the family. It's my money too."

"Jack. This was Sean's money and no one else's," Lena told her son. "And by law he left it to AJ. He is his only nephew and he never knew you."

"Or cared too," AJ whispered as Lena heard, but it was true.

"It's still not right," Jack added. "Not right at all. It's my birthright."

"What birthright?" AJ asked.

"Sean was my birth dad," Jack added as Lena and AJ eyes went wide.

"Hey Jack got to your room. We need to talk," Lena added. Whoever was telling Jack theses lies are dumb and stupid. Sean had to get a vasectomy when he was eighteen after a car accident and he never had kids.

Lena eyed AJ. "Mama where is he getting this crap? They are all lies."

"I know and I intend to find out," Lena added. "I will call Uncle Nate to see to the door."

AJ nodded. Stef came home and eyed AJs busted door. "What happened to your door?"

"Jack broke it down looking for the money my Uncle Sean left me. Why did you tell Uncle Mike?" AJ asked mad. "You know how Jack is."

"I'm sorry," Stef replied.

"That is a lie. Ever since it was found out Jack was adopted you got mad since I picked family over my adopted brother. That is my birthright. You can't make my family on both sides accept Jack when they never did since day one."

"I feel bad for Jack," Stef added.

"Why? You never feel bad for me and it was my parents that were murdered. My twin sister who died. My Uncle Sean who died. What about me?"

Stef bit her lip. "Don't feel bad for Jack since he is adopted."

"He lost family," Stef added.

"His real family?"

"No your parents sides of the family," Stef added.

"They were never his family. They chose not to be. So how did he lose them if they were never his family?"
