Emma was dating Dev and Spencer was single, they all are both attending Harvard and Josslyn is going to the University of Miami , Morgan is still alive.

Miami, Florida
University of Miami 2021
She didn't get accepted to Southern Coastal but she got into the University of Miami and after a lot of back and forth she accepted their offer. She got a full academic and sports scholarship. It was a new challenge that she was ready for because nobody knew her ,so she was getting a fresh start.
"Wow this view is amazing, sorry we couldn't get you a single room but maybe next semester your dad and I can get you a place"Carly said breaking her from her thoughts. "Mom don't seriously think it's fine the dorms are fine really"Josslyn says.
Looking at her new surroundings and smiling, she was doing this on her own. "I know it is a baby but I would feel more at ease if you were in a space of your own" her mom said. Jax shook his head at his ex wife" Carly you heard her she's fine she let you get her in this dorm.
Take it as a win" Jax says, "so do you need us to stay, help you unpack and get settled in. At least you get to choose your bed first" her mother said. "No mom it's fine Morgan's here for a little while until he leaves I'm fine seriously" she says. Carly made a face"listen baby if this isn't for you just call me.
Your dad and I will come and get you. I just don't like that you're out here by yourself. I know your brothers here but let's face it he's here for a good time. He'll be back home next week" the woman says, sighing'' mom you're doing it again and I told everything is going to be okay"the teen says.
Just as the door opens making them turn around as the newcomer comes in"hi you must be my roomie Naomi Delgado born and raised Miami florida. These are my parents Hector and Jasmine Delgado"she says with a smile as Joss stretched her hand out.
When the girl hugged her instead catching her off guard "Wow okay Josslyn Jack these are my parents Jasper and Carly" she replied. Before looping her arm in Josslyn's "I got here hours ago but I decided not to check in yet did you do the tour. It's so worth it hey what sport do you play? I'm track and field the two girls.
In the other suite is basketball" Naomi says quickly, "Naomi breathe"her father says. As the girl stopped"sorry I tend to talk a lot when I'm really nervous" she says letting go. As their parents greet each other "Nini let's get your stuff from the car" her mother said.
"Right, it was nice meeting you guys Joss. I hope we have a lot of fun this year,"Naomi says then leaves. Her father nodded to them as they made their exit"wow ummm like I said baby if you want out it's okay. Your dad and I will stay the night and will leave tomorrow. Call us if you need anything" Carly says as they hug her.
Before she started to get emotional "I know mom but I'll be fine go home you have Donna and dad you have Nina. I have Morgan he's here" Joss says, '' I just wished Michael came he would take it seriously.
But I understand you wanted him here and Michael has work and Jonah" she says. "Oh yes call Sam I told her you're here just touch bases with her Danny is looking to go to. University soon just gave her a call i love you" Jax says.
As she walks them out as Naomi was coming back in with her stuff as Joss helped her as they walked away with Carly and Jax watching her. When they looked over and saw Hector tearing up, wiping his face as he looked at Jax "they grow up so fast you know "the man said.
Jax shook his head in agreement "I think they're gonna be okay " he answered. "She's gonna have a really good friend in Naomi" Hector says with a smile thinking of his baby girl, his youngest child when his wife came back down with tears in her eyes. The woman shook her head as her husband shook his head.
"I'm not crying, she's fine, we're not that far away" Jasmine said. Bringing Carly to tears "we are far away" she says, "don't worry Naomi will look out for her we will too" Jasmine says assuring Carly as Jax hugged her " I think they'll be just fine" Jasper said waving to the other parents before they got into the car leaving.
Meanwhile back upstairs as the girls got settled in"So Josslyn where you from" Naomi asked, pushing her hair back as she emptied her suitcase. "Upstate New York" she responded, "Niceee my cousin goes to school In Syracuse where it's really cold. And I hate the cold. It's why I stayed in Miami. It's home. I can't wait for Cane kickoff.
I heard it's amazing. I know a couple of people can get us into some really good parties, no freshmen boys only upperclassmen. Me and boyfriend we're supposed to come here together but he decided to go to Georgia Tech instead with his friends. And he just wanted to be friends so I need to just be single and have fun. Do you have a boyfriend back home" she rambled on. When Josslyn stopped" No and don't worry about it, I'm sure you will meet someone amazing" she says.
Across town
"Papi, levántate"she said tapping his face to wake him up, Pero lo que pasó, Nena va a despertar a un mema y a papá (But what happened Nena go wake up mema and papa) he says. As the little girl started to giggle when he looked at the mirror and groaned"Papi is up, time now"Danisa said with an innocent look on her face . "Dani how you got up here" Les asked when she looked over to him and smiled
With that smile he already knew"papi mema and papa not here" she says climbing on his stomach. He sighs getting up and stretching before picking her up and tossing her in the air. And catching as she squealed with laughter when the door opened "oye it's day time mami and papi picked up Dani.
So get up daddy she's hungry right muñeca linda" Starr said, "whatchu mean I know they would feed her" he says. His sister smiled"I know but Dani here said it was taco night with papi"she said. As he turns to his four year old"right so what kind of tacos you want baby.
Because we can't just make tacos for ourselves,"Les says as she shakes her head. Covering her mouth before she spoke"quiero camarones titi que tacos quieres" Danisa says. "awww bebe ven, quiero pollo, ve y pregúntale a Tio Roman" Starr says. When she stood up on the bed then climbed down off the bed running out the room as her father and aunt watched.
Her with a raised eyebrow" I thought you helped her up on the bed I underestimated her" Les says, shaking her "I know you did. So where's your head these days" she asked him, fixing his hair as he sighs" What you want me to say Starr that what she did wasn't selfish.
Because it was but i get it she had her demons and in the end they won its been a year. And I know the anniversary just passed but it's nothing to celebrate. She killed herself. That was a choice. How do i explain that to our daughter that her mommy took her own life but i'm good Estrella you don't need to worry about me" he says.
Meanwhile as Curtis and Elle came"we already have five kids we don't need anymore pa our youngest is 10 our oldest are 19. And the only babies we should be looking forward to are grandbabies boom there's your baby right there right Lo"Elena says. "Umm i'm gonna ignore this conversation" she says, never looking up from her phone.
"Lo come on baby girl don't you and Starr want a baby sister" Curtis says. "Princesa you can tell your daddy to kiss my ass if he thinks that is happening" her mother replies. Making the teen groan "I will do that and other things you feel me" he responds back it made Lo make a face.
"If y'all talking about y'all bedroom adventures I would rather not plus we kinda have Dani " the teen says with a shiver. When Dani ran into the kitchen "Titi Lo que tacos quieres" she asked everyone to turn to her. "Mi amor what did i say about running in the house" Elle says looking at her as the four year old looked up with innocent eyes.
"no corras en la casa porque puedes lastimarte" Dani answers as Curtis picks up his granddaughter. "Right so we don't want you to get hurt okay now papa wants steak Tacos and Mema and Rob will have ground beef. And your auntie will have shrimp now that will got that out the way Dani what would you think of having another baby in the house" he asked
As she puts her finger on her chin pretending to think before shaking her head "Yess and I can be bigger" she says. That's when Elle turned to her then all of Mema's attention didn't get to be with you anymore" she says as her husband shook his head. "Who's having a baby?" Roman said, coming in with his little brother Robinson on his back.
With his mother shaking her head "Nobody's having a baby here son" Elle answers as Robinson shakes his head. "Daddy wants another baby" he says sitting next to his sister at the island "Why we don't need any more babies here we already have Dani" Roman says. "Exactly baby come to mema there you go Curtis it's the family consensus so it's over"she says, "Mema Papi making tacos for everybody" Danisa says.
Making Elle turn to her"really your Papi is making dinner well then hallelujerr I don't have to yes"she says, with him shaking his head at her"no Madea babe"Curtis says. As she rolled her eyes "Les is cooking it is called pa what do you mean when's the last time he cooked. For us big daddy" she says. "Please don't say that again you do this on purpose to disgust me" Les says coming into the kitchen.
With his hair up in a bun with slippers and shorts and a University of Miami shirt on as everyone else laughed. "I do but I heard y'all coming i said what I said" Elle says laughing, "babe we promised that was only a name for the bedroom" Curtis replies with a grin. As Les and Lo looked at them in disgust while Starr and Roman laughed while Robinson didn't get the joke.
"Gimme my baby" Les says while everyone else laughed as he took Dani and left. "It works everytime how's your brother Starr?" she asked , "he's okay but he's still angry" she answers. "Do you blame him?" Lo says, " no I Don't but I hope this year gives him many reasons to smile" his mother said.
A few days later she was meeting a few of the girls from the volleyball team for their early morning run. Naomi was up to meet the track team while waiting. She did her stretches when she saw him drop his bag. Then stretching as well all she could was watch he had his hair up in a bun on top of his head.
"Hey Josslyn you're early" Amanda said as her and Gabriella came over when Gabriella saw him she took off her jacket. Before they started their run when she got a good look at him he was even cuter up close Josslyn thought to her as he winked at her. Catching her off guard but she continued to run on their third lap around Gabriella sprinted ahead.
Trying to get his attention, she crashed into Josslyn making her fall when Les ran over to help. After seeing the collision "hey y'all okay" he asked embarrassed Gabriella hopped up "Freshmen you should pay attention" she said with an attitude. As Joss held her ankle shaking his head at her "you okay he said helping her up. "Yeah I'm fine I think I just hurt my ankle a bit" she replied, "do you mind if I take a look at it.
I'm a med student" Les says as Joss shrugged, "Yeah sure" Josslyn said as he walked her to the benches. All the while Gabriella looked on with jealousy "put your foot up" he says as she put her foot on his lap. Her whole body tingled at first touch like nothing she ever felt as he checked her out. "Well it's not broken but it's a a sprain" he says, "i could have told you that '' Gabriella says while Joss puts her foot down.
Les just looked at her shaking his head" hey thanks anyway I'll be fine" Josslyn said, "wait a minute here this should help" Elesandro said. Then walking over to his bag as they watched him when he came back over Gabriella glared at Josslyn. "Here you go you can use this to relax it" he says as their hands touch making them both tingle.
As he shook his head she smiled "thanks but I have this already" she said when he put his hand on his chest pretending to be hurt. "My feelings are hurt and here i thought I was being helpful take care little momma" Les says making her chuckle. " Right I doubt that but i appreciate" Joss says with a grin, "Ummm we should freshmen let's go" Gabriella said breaking their banter.
"Take care freshmen" he said with a wink before leaving Joss waved trying to brush off the feeling it gave her. All the while Gabriella stewed in anger it was supposed to be her move she had been trying to get his attention since last semester.
