Port Charles

Kelly's diner

Just as she was about to leave Shawn stood right in front of her "answer my question Ramona" he said. All she did was smirk "I don't owe you any answers Shawn Nena take the kids outside" she answered with a shrug. Elena just laughed "Diablo, ¿estás loco? He estado esperando diez años para que esta mierda golpee al fan mamita (Diablo are you crazy i've been waiting ten years for this shit to hit the fan mamita)" she replies.

Making her friend chuckle "Pero no es nada que decir, sabemos que no es el padre de Ramalo, pero sabes que mami" Ramona say. "Pero I know he doesn't know" Elle says As Ramy shrugged "So I don't care. Hiro can you take the kids to the car" she said turning to Shawn. "They ain't going nowhere" he said sternly, and who's gonna stop them you please Shawn.

You need to get out my face before I stop feeling less lenient and finally put that bullet in your ass" she responds. "IS HE MY SON RAMONA STOP PLAYING THIS GAME WITH ME GETTING IN MY GOT DAMN HEAD" he spat coldly. That's when he started laughing as Hiro and Tony took the kids outside as she distracted him.

"No he isn't your son at all. He had a father. His father died when he was a baby but that's my business. Not yours so you can kiss my ass and you can stand there and be angry all you want I can take that shit.

Why don't you go fuck yourself Elle let's go" she said walking around him when he went to grab her hand. But she slapped it away and that's when he noticed the kids weren't there "Then who's his father then if it's not me because I know you're lying" Shawn says.

" Ayyy pobrecito believes what you want Butler but you're not his father so take care of yourself" Ramy says. As Elena smirked "It was nice seeing Shawn" she said just as he was about to go after but Jason stopped him.

"Easy Shawn what's up with you I've never seen you lose your cool like that what was that about" he said. "It's that woman who knows how to get inside people's heads. She has a kid and I know that kid is mines" he said.

As they got into the car"you know when he finds out he's gonna lose his shit" Elle says. When Ramona smiled" he won't believe it at first but he won't have any other but to and that will be the fun part" she responded.

Alexis's House

"It was several years ago mother had most likely taken the children and she was talking to an associate about adopting. She had stepped away and she was ambushed and she fled and you came and took the babies. I saw the pictures from our head of Security.

I mean the woman that was about my height almost snapped her neck" Stefan says. As both Sam and Julian faces dropped"Waited a minute give me a second hello Kat yeah I'll explain later I need you to send me a picture of that old broad right. No I'm not I meant what I said but I might have a lead on who she is thanks swear to god If this is her dad I'm gonna kill her" Sam says.

"Wait, why do you want to Kill Helena" Valentin asked as Sam paced the floor waiting for her phone to beep. Looking down at her phone "IS THIS HER" she asked, as Stefan's eyes went wide "Yes that's my mother" he replies. " What's her name? Why would my grandmother want to hurt me or my children?" she says, "Because she's not your grandmother she's my father's wife.

And she killed my mother when I was a child. Her name is Helena Cassadine" Alexis says when Sam threw her phone across the room. "FUCKING BITCH I'M GONNA KILL HER WHERE CAN I FIND THIS BITCH RIGHT NOW" she spat angrily.

When her father put his hand on her shoulder "Sam I think you need to take a setback and breathe if this woman behind it means she knew who you were all along" Julian said. "DAD THIS IS AS CALM AS I'M GOING TO GET THIS WOMAN HAS TRIED TO TAKE MY KIDS. SHE BLEW UP MY CAR TRYING TO KILL ME AND DREW SHE HAD ME SHOT AND THEN TRIED TO KIDNAP ME AND.

NOW THAT BITCH HAS MY HUSBAND OUT THERE DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT TO HIM FOR WHAT I DON'T KNOW THIS BITCH" she shouted. "She's doing it to hurt me she has to" Alexis says sympathetically, YOU THOUGHT I WAS DEAD SO WHAT WOULD HE FUCKING POINT" Sam said. Just then Julian's phone rang as she took the phone out of his hand "Hello Kat, so chi questa cagna la trova velocemente, il suo nome è Helena Cassadine.

What how do you know that WHERE WHY DIDN'T ANYONE CALL ME HE CAN BE ANYWHERE IS THE BITCH DEAD FUCK!" she said. That's when her father took the phone before she threw his" Hey Kat okay well let me know when Memo finds him this is personal. We need all the hands on deck for this yeah I have room just come" Julian said.

As Sam was halfway to the door "Whoaa Sam easy you have to do this strategically or she will always be one step ahead of you" her father says. That's when he saw the tears forming in her eyes "Dad I have to find him" she said, I know baby but you can't let your emotions cloud your judgment" he said. Pulling her to his chest trying to get her to calm down Alexis was in tears as well feeling the amount of pain.

Helena has inflicted on her daughter when Alexis grabbed her hand "I promise we will do everything we can to find her right Stefan" she said. Shaking his head "Yes when I find my mother I will with her" he responds "Like hell you are your gonna give her to me so I can put her in a fucking box" Sam says.

"Trust me Sam, we have tried to escape death every time" the older woman says, pulling back. "Yeah well she wanted to come for me tell the bitch to bring it" Sam says getting ready to leave she needed to calm down.

"WAIT can I ask you something please?" Kristina says, making Sam stop as she looks at the younger woman. "I'm sorry but sure" she replies, about 8 years ago did you donate marrow to a little girl?"she asked. "Umm yeah it was brought to us by our doctor we just had DJ and we banked his placenta why" she says.

All Krissy could do was stare as Alexis covered her mouth when Krissy ran and gave her a hug. With Sam hugging her back before pulling back to the young woman who was now in tears "I was that girl I'm alive because of that" she said.

In that moment her anger went down and she realized why she was there wiping Kristina's tears. "It's okay I'm happy I did it because I would have done it for anyone" she said hugging her as Molly came in with Cruz and the girls.

Jerome House

It had been several days since everyone had ascended on Port Charles strategizing to come up with a plan to find Helena and Drew. He decided that if she was there to give her a few days before he talked to her but he was done waiting he missed them.

"Dead man walking" Kat said from the table just as Elle was coming in from outside with a drink in her hand. Stopping when she saw him "So your here" she says dryly, yeah this is where you've been for the last couple of days huh it's nice" he responds.

All she did was look around while everyone pretended they weren't watching "yeah if you want to see the kids their outback. I didn't tell them not to speak to you unless I say so" Elle says getting ready to walk away. He sighs " wait can we talk just talk" Curtis asked as Sam just winked just shaking her head "fine let's go this way" she said leading the way.

Until they were alone taking a seat "So talk" she says watching him as he sat next to her as she moved over. "Hey look Elle I'm sorry that I jumped the gun and I was wrong for that" Curtis said honestly. As she sat quietly nodding her head then drinking her drink "Umm well if we're being honest Curtis you didn't even attempt to hear.

The whole story you wanted to be defensive and the truth is we've been walking on eggshells. With each other since you came back and that's because I jumped back into it with you with no caution.

And I shouldn't have done that because I haven't forgiven you Curtis and it's clear that you haven't either. No because you wouldn't have been so easy for you to assume that I was talking to the boys behind your back. And quite frankly i'm not in a forgiving mood because I've given you several passes and for you to snap the way you did. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I need to be away from you before I say.

Or do something that I will regret saying so that's why I'm here " she said going to take her in but she moved them. This is the first time he understood the mess he created "Elena you were right in doing what you did because it saved my life it's why i'm here. Now Drew and Rich may have got me to physically stay but it was you Elena your sacrifice.

I mean yes you drugging me was a bit over the top but it had to be done knowing that I would see it as a betrayal you did it anyway. Baby girl I took you for granted in thinking that you would always put up with my shit but I see that now. And I have to change that and it starts with me saying I'm sorry for everything that I put you through. I"m sorry I wasn't a better husband, or a better father. I know that you need time and I have to respect that.

But I will say that I love you and I spent a lot of time away from you and most of all I need to say that there is nothing to forgive you for Elena. Because you loved me more then I loved myself at the time to save my life" Curtis says sitting in front of her.

"But see that's the thing Curtis I've put a lot of energy into making you look good. Now every time you fuck up I'm the bad guy and that's not fair to me and I have never bashed you to our children i'm tired of it" Elena says.

Wanting to reach out and touch her to comfort her but he didn't "I know baby and I will talk to the kids or we can do it together about what really happened" he says. She nodded "you really want to tell them that" she asked curiously, "No I need to tell them that.

And If they're angry with me then that's on me not you it's time I own that so i've rented a place downtown for the time being. Just know that I love you so much" Curtis said, Elena sighed "For the record it wasn't never about the lack of love it was respect and trust" she said getting up.

As the kids rushed in jumping on him "DADDY!, POPS" they said simultaneously as Elle and Curtis looked at each other. "Hey y'all come sit down your mom and I have to talk to you guys" he said putting Starr on his lap with Les sitting next to him and Roman sitting with his head on his mom shoulder.

Kissing his kids as Elle watched on as he struggled to get the words out" Umm when you guys get home I will not be staying with you guys anymore. For a little while because of some things I've done" he says as he heard them groan all looking at their mom.

Shaking his head "Noo this is not mommy's fault this is mines I've hurt her to many times to count. And mommy needs some time to not be hurt and I respect that" Curtis says, that's not true mommy's just being mean"Les complained. "Do you guys not love each other anymore"Roman asked, are you guys getting divorced"Starr asked.

Elle sighs"no Elesandro daddy messed up alright like I said daddy has done alot of things that hurt mommy inside. That we've never dealt with and No we are not getting a divorce baby girl. And we still love each other very much alright it just we need some time apart" he said.

Crossing his arms in a huff"well that's stupid it doesn't make any sense we never seen you do anything. This is mommy's fault" Elesandro says tears filling the boys eyes, as Starr and Roman looked at their mother. Who was trying to remain calm" no son like I said it isn't" see do y'all remember when mommy said I was sick.

And I wasn't here we'll the truth is I wasn't sick I off using drugs see I am an addict. Well I was no listen y'all remember uncle Tommy well when he died daddy was really sad. An I blamed myself for what happened to him because I told him the truth about something that hurt him.

He got angry at the course of his pain and he and he died so I started taking drugs to cope with the pain of losing Uncle Tommy. An I started lying and hurting mommy and I put you guys in danger in doing so. Then your mommy found out and she got really upset with me and she asked me to get help.

And I pretend to I wasn't a reliable husband or father mommy tried to help me but I didn't want to be helped. I wanted to wallow in my grief until I bottomed out and overdosed and she forced me into rehab. See y'all don't remember this because she protected you guys from it.

Because she didn't want to you guys to see me like that and I was in really bad shape. And she didn't want you guys to hate me either so she protected your innocence like any good mom would. Mommy and I never really dealt with the pain and the situation I caused by using drugs.

We kind of just jumped right back into things because we were so happy to see each other. And now we have to deal with that do you understand that" Curtis says as they looked at him. In hurt and disappointment "why can't you just say sorry"Starr asked.

"Why do you have to leave" Roman adds, yeah how come y'all can't do that counseling like Chubbs parents" Les. "I've said sorry but some time sorry isn't enough and time is and I have to give mommy time. Not to be hurt anymore see the same disappointment in your eyes mommy has the same thing.

And we are going to go to counseling I want you boys to know that if you love someone you treat them with love and respect. You don't use or mistreat them or take them for granted and that is what I've done. Mommy saw how happy you guys were when I came back for good that she put her feelings aside.

So you guys can be happy but her feelings matter to now I know mommy may seem like the strongest woman in the world. But she can get hurt to and she shouldn't have to be strong because I should be doing my part. Her needs and feeling weren't being met and we have to respect that mommy some time has her moment were it's hard for her.

Don't worry I rented a place not to far from your school and me and mommy are going to figure this out. But she needs her time alright this is daddy's fault not mommies she held this family together. When I broke it"he said, you let her take the blame your a loser"Les said feeling angry and betrayed.

He said getting ready to storm off"Elesandro sit down now boy please try me daddy is not perfect. By any stretch of the imagination and you are entitled to be hurt and disappointed but not disrespectful. I am to blame just as much because I've should have been honest but you guys were young and destroying you innocence was something I wasn't going to do.

Daddy and I made alot of mistakes in not dealing with the pain and the hurt. Because we were all happy to see him but that's for us to figure out now nothing has changed. You'll still see daddy all the time because you guys are our first priority always alright" Elena said.

"Elle no that's we're we went wrong not saying what we felt so yes I was a loser and I did let mommy take. The blame because I was embarrassed and I felt weak that I wasn't strong enough. To handle losing my brother then grandma and I am sorry for that" Curtis says.

Rubbing her eyes" but he was your brother and she was you mommy I would be sad too" Starr says. "Me too I love my brother and my mommy"Roman said wiping his tears. When Curtis grabbed Les pulling the boy to his chest but he faught him on it. Before conceding "I know man I'm sorry alright I know you're disappointed but just know I love you guys.

When he pulled away"I'm really mad at you daddy because you hurt mommy and you always said never to hurt the person you love. And you lied and I was really mean to her not to long ago can I go to my room now I want to be by myself" Les said. His mother nodded as the boy walked away with his brother and sister following after him.

Leaving them sitting there tears filled Elle's eyes but never left her eyes. As they watched their children walk away Curtis sighed tears filling his eyes as well that's when he took her hand"I gonna fix this I promise I know your faith in me is shattered.

Sorry it took so long for me to see it but I meant what I said earlier. But I'm gonna go make myself useful and help find Drew I still love you and I always will. She nodded her head"I know I still love you too but we have alot of work to do"Elle responds. Before walking away he wanted to hug her hold her in his arms but this wasn't the time.
