Title: A New Beginning
Disclaimer: I do not own Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Dick Wolf and NBC-USA networks do.
Author's Note: We're back! Blue-Got the idea from watching the episode Bedfellows. What if Alex decided to adopt Jeffrey Copeland after seeing him being ignored in favor of Henry? Also was not sure of Lena's status, so I am guessing. Name of Bobby lawyer friend is will be Eric Quaint.
A/N 2: Updates for this story will take some time.
Genre: Family
Rating: K
Chapter 1: Making a Choice
Mentions of/Spoilers for: Bedfellows (6.5)
Getting home, Alex let out a big sigh. The Copeland case was irritating to say the least. Jules Copeland's treatment of his family was the most infuriating. First, he favored Adlai over Ted, Charlene over Lena, and now Henry over Jeffrey. Both boys deserved an equal attention.
It then occurred to her. Since both Adlai and Ted were dead, Charlene was in custody, and Lena wouldn't be available for awhile, Jeffrey would be alone and would be set out to be like his late father Ted.
Alex thought to herself would it hurt to help Jeffery out by adopting him? Maybe, maybe... after all he would receive more attention. I am guessing that Jules wouldn't mind since he gives all his attention to Henry.
With that, Alex called Bobby and asked him for the name of a lawyer who practiced family law to set in motion for adopting Jeffrey.
A/N 3: Thanks for reading Chapter 1 of "A New Beginning". Reviews are appreciated!
