ˊ~ɛ˟Alicia˟ɜ~'

I sobbed into the man who broke my heart's chest not giving a shit. Of course I cared for him, but I still hated him for just kicking me on my ass with our son.

I have no idea how long we stood there in an embrace but when I finally pulled myself together I pulled away adjusting my dress shirt. I was standing in baggy sweats and my slides comfortably.

"Thanks." I whispered to Alec who was on the wall just looking at me. His shirt was open so you could see his bare chest. I was right about the muscle thing. He had the abs to prove it.

"No problem Lacy." I froze at the name. It had been a nickname that I haven't been called in over 7 years. Lacy, is what Alec called me when we were dating.

"Let's not mention it ever again." I demanded abruptly and hastily made my way into my office. I didn't close the door behind me, so he walked in after me.

"You can't honestly tell me your going to pretend that your little rant never happened are you?!" He hissed.

"Yes." I answer swiftly. Why not? I had just poured my heart out, but it didn't matter. It never mattered to him.

"We have to talk Alicia." He whispered calmly.

"The hell we do." I snapped picking up my thankfully unharmed Blackberry off the tile floor.

"Alicia Goddamn Debrev! We have lots to talk about! Not about us but about out son." He seethed. I froze. What did he want with Alec?

"So now he's our son?" I whispered coldly. Now he wanted to be his father? After four years he wants to be apart of his son's life?!

"He was always our son. I just never faced it. I've been looking for Alec Blake Handler Jr. for over 4 years now!" He sighed frustrated.

I giggled. He's so stupid. "Did you actually leave him with your last name Alec? I hated you for God's sake! Why on Earth would I leave him a Handler?"

Alec face palled himself and shook his head muttering,"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

I narrowed my eyes at him turning serious,"What did you want to find him for?"

He seemed to be in thought for a second, "I-I wanna be in his life."

This shocked me. He wanted to be there for him? An involuntary smile made it's way onto my face.

"Okay. Sure why not?" I agreed before I ha thought anything through.

Alec's eyes lit up in joy and I could see he wanted to give me a hug but stopped himself.

"Alicia thank you so much! I promise I'll be the best dad I can!" He gushed and started to mutter things he was going to do as soon as he met baby Alec.

"But only Saturdays. That's when I have to volunteer at the local deaf center." I explained.

He stopped muttering to himself to give me a cold glare,"What?" He snapped,"One day a week?! Why?!"

I narrowed my eyes at him,"Because I said so. I raised him for seven years, so what I say goes!"

"The law says as long as I'm deemed fit as a parent I have as much right as you do. As his biological father I am allowed to see him whenever and however often I please." He did NOT just throw the law in my face.

I KNOW the law, I REPRESENT the law, hell I DEFEND the motherducking law!

And now he was going to use it to his personal gain.

"Don't throw the law book in my face!" I snapped. "I know the law, but guess what? We're not in a court room and for the last seven years I've been our son's attorney. So buzz off!"

He smirked. "We may not be in a court room now. But we can be soon if you like."

I blinked,"Come again?"

"I don't want to but I will take you to court if I have to Alicia. I want the rights to my son I deserve." He barked.

"You lost those rights when you abandoned him seven years ago." I seethed. I was ticked off. Who was he to say he deserved any rights to Alec?! He's lucky to be getting one day with him!

Alec sighed and looked at me with a guilt-ridden face. "Lacy you think I don't know that?! But guess what? For over four years I've been looking for him, to be his father! I want those rights, I want to be able to call you up and tell you I'm taking him to my apartment for the weekend. I want for him to like me."

I stared dumbfounded. This is not the same ass of a boy I left in the Bronx four years ago. No, this 28 year old man is desperately trying to be a father to his son. But the cold hard truth is that he had his chance, and he blew it.

Life doesn't have re-dos. No restart button to go back to level one. If you lost, you lost.

"Alicia you know damn well that's bullshit." Alec spoked solemnly.

Damn I said that out loud.

"Well it's up to me Alec. And I'm giving you your right to one day with your son. That's it. Take it or leave it." My hands folded over my chest as I spoke in my serious lawyer tone.

He clenched his fists and his face was seething with anger. "No it's not up to you. It's up to the judge. I'm taking you to court and I don't give a damn." He spoke with such coldness and anger I almost flinched. He stalked out of my room.

I heard the loud bang as he slammed the door to his office shut. He's going to sue for custody. Custody of my son. My baby boy is going to go through what I'm sure is going to be a nasty custody battle.

Fine, if he wants a fight then he'll get one.

Bring it on Alec Handler.
