logans_girl2001I have such a big case of the "i don't wanna's" today. I did not walk this morning and I don't feel bad about it. That is how much I do not care today. Really wish I did not have to work.
I need your guy's help. The story I'm working on (the one that I HATE) needs an ending. For reference, this is set in the Dark Blue (TNT show from 2009-2010) fandom.
Dean grew up rich but ignored. His parents disowned him when his father caught him kissing another boy. After a few years he landed on his feet as a police officer in LA. He had changed his name by then and firmly shut the door on his past.
Now his father has died and Dean received a letter explaining that he is mentioned in his father's will and if he doesn't attend all the 'events' prior to the reading of the will, then no one will receive their inheritance.
He goes but is far from happy about it. His mother tries to pretend they were a happy family.
My question is: what, if anything, should Dean inherit?
I'm leaning toward him getting more than his mother feels he should. And by that I mean, she thinks he should receive nothing because the last time Dean saw her he told her that she's dead to him. Plus, he got married without inviting her and refuses to tell her his wife's name. What she doesn't know is Dean is married to Carter, who accompanied him to his father's funeral. His exact inheritance would be his father's shares of the family company (60% (which makes him the new chairman of the board)) as well as the apartment in Manhattan.
There's also the option of Dean getting nothing but being specifically mentioned as further insult from a man who considered him a burden.
Or he could get everything and have to decide if he leaves his mother penniless and homeless.
So, dear friends, which would you chose? My daughter suggested Dean receiving an inheritance from a family member who is/was more powerful than his father but I'm not sure how to work that into his father's will.
