"Hello" Elena finally managed to spit out.
"Hi, I'm Rania your mother" Rania responded kindly, however Elena had different plans.
"Rania" Elena said slowly advancing forward "It's truly nice to meet you, but let's get one thing straight, you are not my mother nor will you ever be. Now if you'll excuse us Colin and I would like to get some sleep. Goodnight Mom, Love you." Elena said while walking towards Maura to give her a kiss goodnight, as usual.
"Love you too!" Maura called out. Elena then proceeded to grab Colin's hand and go upstairs, they did not sleep in the same room, but Maura and Jane trusted Colin enough to allow him to stay over some nights.
Next Morning
Colin, Elena, and Maura were all early risers and Maura was particularly giddy this morning because Jane was coming home from her conference today. The three of them were making pancakes and much to Maura's dismay a mess.
"Mom, lighten up! I don't care what Rania wants. You and Jane are my parents, my family. I don't want or need anybody else" Elena said hugging Maura and then turned around and threw flour in Maura's face.
"ELENA ISLES!" Get back here now!" Maura shouted, and the three of them were enjoying so much that they did not notice Rania coming into the kitchen. Rania tried to get everyone's attention by clearing her throat, but Elena assumed it was Maura or Colin behind her and turned to throw flour when Rania shot her hand out and grabbed Elena's.
"Ow let go!" Elena said trying to get out of Rania's grasp.
"Your behavior last night and this morning is and was completley unacceptable. I expect you to treat me with the utmost of respect." Rania said in a stern voice.
"No! I don't even know you and now you want to come in and take over my life? No thank you!" Elena retorted angrily.
"That's enough" Rania said and then came the slap on Elena's cheek. Immdiately following came the raspy and angry voice of none other than Detective Jane Rizzoli, "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER"
Rania was taken back and let go of Elena's arm, who in turn ran back into Jane's arms and was enveloped in a big hug. "Ma you're home!" Elena exclaimed.
"Yea I am kiddo, and looks like just in time too! Who the hell do you think you are putting your hands on my daughter?" Jane spat with anger clear in her voice.
"She is my daughter!" Rania said emphasizing every word
