Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story that have ever been on Port Charles, those characters are the property of ABC/Disney. Angel, Eddie, and the other kids are my creations, along with Jesse.

A/N: In this story Angel is a senior in high school, and she and Eddie meet their destiny at the end of the school year and into the summer. This is not my favorite story that I've written so I wouldn't be surprised if I changed it some later on. Hope you enjoy though, and please leave a review.

Review (in case you haven't read my previous stories): Angel and Eddie are three years apart, both have Alison's blue eyes, but Angel's hair is her father's color and Edde's is his mother's. Maxie is Jack and Reese's daughter. Alison died in a car crash after going back to the house for something before Daniel's birthday party when Angel was 5. Rafe grieved for her, but eventually found Jesse (who happens to be Livvie's sister). Jesse knows nothing of vampires or angels-all she knows is Caleb and Rafe do not get along due to their past in Transylvania.

Angel pulled up to the house and honked the horn. She thought to herself that if she wasn't out here in two minutes she was leaving without her. She didn't have to wait long, as Maxie was actually on time for once.

"Hey Angel," she said, jumping into the passenger seat while pulling her brown hair into a ponytail.

"Hey Max," she smiled. "You're on time for once, I'm impressed."

"Ha ha.very funny. So what's Eddie up to today?"

"When I left he was heading over to Patrick's. I think they were going to see a movie later, I'm not sure."

"I don't know why I asked," she laughed to herself. Her cousin and Patrick were inseparable. The group's parents had given them a nickname, the New Brat Pack. There was Maxie Ramsey, Angel and Eddie Kovich, and Patrick and Melissa Woods. There was also Danny and Christina, when they were home from college. "Are we going to pick up Melissa?"

"I was thinking we could see if she wants to do something later, but first I want to go to the mall and look and see if I can find any good sales."

"Ok, can we stop at the food court later? I didn't get much for breakfast."

"That's fine," she said as they pulled into a parking spot.

They walked around the mall for a little bit, mainly just window shopping. They had been sitting in the food court when Angel saw her cousins, well by marriage anyways, walking over to them. "Hey Jasmine, hey Joseph," she said while taking a sip of soda.

"Hey Angel," Jasmine said, taking a seat.

"Max, you remember Jesse's niece and nephew, Jasmine and Joseph Morley," she said turning her head back to her cousin.

"Yes, I believe I do," she said noticing Joseph's blue eyes and how they seemed to pull you in a trance.

"How is everything with you lately, Jasmine?"

"I'm doing good, Mom was wanting to get with Jesse and have a family dinner soon."

"Oh, ok. I'll let her know when I go back home."

"Jaz, we need to be heading back home," Joseph said.

"I swear, you are no fun Joseph."

"Hey, I'm just remembering what Mom and Dad said."

"Ok, well I will get Jesse to give Aunt Livvie a call and maybe we can get together next weekend," she said giving Jasmine and Joseph hugs as they left. "Ok, Max, what do you want to do next?" she turned around noticing that Maxie's eyes seemed to have glazed over. "Max? Hello.earth to Maxine Rose."

"Huh? Did you say something Angel?"

"No, I'm just standing here talking to myself."

"Have you ever noticed his eyes?"

"Whose eyes? Joseph's?"

"Yeah," she said, wishing he had stayed longer.

"You are too much, Max," she said laughing. "Hey why don't we go call Melissa and see if her and the guys want to meet for a movie."

"Yeah, that sounds fine."

----------------

Jesse placed the plates at the kitchen table, and walked back to the kids rooms. She knocked on the doors, telling them both it was time for dinner. They came in, one by one and sat down.

They were almost done when Angel remembered the events of the day, "Oh, I forgot to tell you I think Maxie has a crush on someone."

"Do we know him?" Rafe asked, looking up from his plate.

"Yeah, it's Joseph."

Rafe stopped in mid bite when the words came out, "Joseph Morley?"

"Yes Dad, you know Livvie and Caleb's son."

"No, she can't be with him. I won't allow it."

"Dad, it's not your decision. If Aunt Reese and Uncle Jack don't like him then they will tell her."

"You don't understand Angel, none of you do. Jack will back me up on this, you wait and see," he said getting up from the table and walking to the bedroom. Jesse followed him back there.

"What is your problem with my sister and her husband?"

"It's too complicated, Jesse," he said not wanting to argue with her.

"I know you and Caleb have a past. I know you two grew up together in Transylvania, and he did something to you to cause you to hate him, but you have put that behind you."

"Fine, if you want Maxie to become a."

"A what? What were you going to say, Rafe?"

"Nothing. I wasn't going to say anything. I need to go for a walk," as he went stomping out of the house as Jesse just stood in the bedroom trying to figure out what he was about to say just then.

----------------

Jasmine stared at her brother from across the table, "What are you thinking, Joseph Morley?"

"Nothing, I'm not thinking about anything."

"Yes, you are. You are thinking about that girl from the mall earlier."

"No, I'm not."

"What girl?" Livvie said, walking in from the kitchen.

"Angel's cousin, Maxie Ramsey."

Livvie's eyes got big and she started to giggle. Walking back into the kitchen, and still giggling she looked up at Caleb, "Our little boy has his first case of puppy love."

"And that's why you are giggling like a school girl?" he said, smiling at her.

"It's who it is that's so funny," she said, hoping he would guess. "Fine, I guess I'll tell you, it's Maxie Ramsey, Jack's daughter."

"I'm sure when Rafe finds out he'll be over here yelling for some reason."

"Probably, but hopefully Jesse can knock some sense into him beforehand."

"We'll just wait and see."

----------------

Jesse sat on the couch, watching television. Rafe had been gone for awhile now, and she was starting to get worried. Angel walked in and sat down, "Why is Dad so against anyone having anything to do with Caleb and Aunt Livvie?"

"I don't know sweetie, I don't know."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Jasmine said that Livvie wants us to all get together sometime soon."

"Thanks sweetie, I'll go call her now," as she got up and walked over to the cordless phone. The phone rang a few times when someone finally picked up.

"Livvie?"

"Hey Jesse. Jasmine told me that you might call today," Livvie said, walking outside to the veranda overlooking the gardens at the Villa.

"Yeah, we had a family crisis earlier and Angel forgot to tell me."

"I'm going to take a guess on what that crisis involved. Was it about Joseph and Maxie?"

"Yes, Rafe got in this huge huff about it and left. He hasn't come back yet, and it's been hours."

"Well, when he gets home tell him to come up to the Villa so Caleb and I can have a nice talk with him."

"Ok, I will. So when do we want to get together?"

"How is next Saturday night?"

"That sounds good," she said seeing the front door open and Rafe walk in give a look and walk back to the bedroom. "Well, Mr. Grumpy is home, so I better go talk to him."

"Tell him to come see us to talk," Livvie said laughing at the grumpy comment.

"Ok, bye," she said hanging up the phone.

Livvie hung up her phone and walked back into the bedroom. Caleb looked up at her "Who was that?"

"It was Jesse, she said they had a family crisis and Rafe went for a three hour walk. He just walked in when we hung up."

"Did you tell her what I said about him coming over and us having a talk?"

"Yeah, and we're having a family get together next Saturday," she said walking over and sitting on the arm of the chair he was at.

"Oh, ok," he said, pulling her over onto his lap and giving her a kiss.

----------------

Jesse walked into the bedroom where Rafe had already got ready for bed and under the covers. She walked over and sat down next to him as he rolled over to face away from her. "You know, you really should go apologize to Angel for that temper tantrum you threw at dinner. I never remember her doing that since I've known you all."

"If you only knew, Jesse."

"Why won't you tell me?"

"Because it's too many bad memories, and Caleb and I long ago agreed to a truce."

"Oh, I almost forgot, Caleb and Livvie want you to come by and talk to them one day this week."

"You've got to be kidding me," he said rolling over and facing her. When he saw her face he stopped being mad. Instead he smiled at her and sat up. "Come here," he pulled her close by, "I'm sorry I'm being a grump," he said starting to kiss her neck.

"Before you go anywhere else, I will request again to go apologize to your daughter."

"Ok, I will," he said smiling as he got up. He walked across the hall to where the bedroom door was now shut. "Angel, can I come in?" he asked, starting to peek his head inside.

"Hey Dad," she said sitting at her desk working on homework.

"Come here and sit beside me," he said, sitting down and picking up a teddy bear that was on her bed.

She walked over and sat next to him, "I'm still upset with you. You yelled at me for no reason tonight Dad. I didn't do anything wrong."

"I know you didn't do anything wrong, I just had memories of what happened in Transylvania. I also know that you and Jasmine have a friendship too, and I don't want you to stop seeing her because I'm being a grump."

She laughed, and gave him a hug, "You are my grump though."

"Thanks, don't stay up too late," he said getting up and heading towards the door.

"I won't. I'm almost done with my math homework then I will read a little before bed. Goodnight Dad."
