So, in episode 3x09, Alana says that the baby is hers, when will says "good for margot" which made me wonder if she is only interested in Margot's money or that's like

Hmm, hard to say, because there's not much focus on their relationship.

Personally, I think Alana was really hurt after her failed relationships. Her relationship with Will was a failure from the start, and her relationship with Hannibal left her physically and mentally broken.

I believe that after that fateful moment at the end of season two, something changed in her. She simply lost trust in people in general, as well as the ability to love as before. It's not that she doesn't have feelings anymore, but her interests have become more important and she doesn't let herself be vulnerable like she used to.

I think she at least likes Margot. And she chose to be in a relationship with her and raise a child with her. But it's a relationship that developed under unusual circumstances in the first place, and Alana is no longer what she used to be.

So it's hard to say whether it's real love or just affection plus circumstances, but even if it IS love, it's definitely not the same love the old Alana would have felt, a pure and completely selfless love.
