"Do you think it's really necessary for us to go out there they are civilized adults" Drew says as he watched his wife continue packing. As she turned and looked at him"Drew have you met Elena" Sam replies. Watching him in disbelief as he looked up at her with his eyebrows raised" here's an idea let them handle it they may surprises you" he says.

Shaking her head"Elena no Drew i know her temples are going to flare and it will get bad and with the kids. It will be world war 3" she says,Don't you think your exaggerating just a little bit honey" Drew replies shaking his head. Sam looks at him " are you serious we both know Elle doesn't hold her tongue for anyone and her first victim will be Jordan then Curtis" she said.

Throwing his head back "Fine but i'm telling you we should just let them handle it Jordan is alot tougher then we give her credit for" he say. Making Sam laugh" i'm not saying that she isn't but she can't handle Elle and Curtis well he's Curtis and he's going to see her and his kids that's going to be it. Drew i think we need to go be the buffer because you know her Elle and Les is going to flip.

Once he finds out and i think you need to be there to talk him down because there's only so much Elle can do. And with everything he's going through Curtis is the perfect scapegoat" she says, what is he going through. Is something wrong with Danisa what happened" Drew said, you just have to talk to him Drew please he listens to you" Sam replies.

Watching his wife suspiciously taking a deep breath" alright we will go there for a few weeks and take the kids. Let them spend sometime with their cousins and have some fun" he says as she cheered.

"For the record i wasn't trying to force the issue but i think we should be thinking about helping the kids give Curtis a chance" she says. As she began t walk away to get the kids bags packed"we leave in the morning" Sam said kissing him then leaving the room.

"Excuse me young lady what did you just say to me" Jordan says as Star's head swung her direction. "I said Quién es éste una maldita cuero what you don't hear correctly is you being a maldita cuero isn't the only thing wrong with you"she responded. "Hey that's enough Estrella she is still an adult and you will give her that respect" Stella said, hmm all due respect aunt Stella i don't respect anybody like her.

Isn't she the reason why he turned to drugs why my uncle and grandmother are dead because she was a faithless whore just saying"Star says with a shrug. "Alright that is enough it wasn't her fault it was mine okay i should have kept my mouth shut"Curtis said as Star looked at him crazy.

Tapping her chin "Were you the one married, were you the one unfaithful to your husband did you decide to spread your legs for your husbands best friend no right so how could it be your fault.

Because you were the only one who had enough respect for your brother to be honest and if i'm being honest had she told the truth. Sooner all of the blow back maybe there wouldn't be so many people dead have you ever thought about that" Star said before turning to Jordan. "you have no idea what my mother mother had to endure for your shit everyone else paid a price except you.

Nah mamacita my mother almost lost us because one action spiraled into everyone's else's lives and me, my brother and mother was just collateral damage. Do you know the kind of hurt you have to be in to take drugs my best friend killed himself with pills because his mother died. Because she was his everything so don't act like i don't know anything about life good night Aunt Stella you coming" she says.

"Star wait please can we just talk you and me" Curtis said he knew her wall was up she definitely her mother she didn't sugarcoat anything. She stopped with her back still didn't face him"I don't hate you Mr. Ashford and i'm not the one you have to worry about. But i don't want to talk it's being a really long day we can talk tomorrow"Star said going inside the house.

When she did her mother was standing right there with open arms"I know mi vida"Elle says rubbing her back. "Woooo i guess you wonder what that was about huh" Manolo says looking at Curtis whose body tensed up as he turned around.

"Don't worry Curtis i'm not going to hurt you i promised your mother i would never lay a hand on you. So i will explain why he had an Elena moment think of all the father daughter dances you missed.

Or their massive sweet 16 but you know what filled that anger besides the obvious is this one time i took her to her father daughter dance. She had to be around 10 or 11 and someone said to her that's not your father that's your grand father.

What your father didn't care enough to come and all i remember was her little fist popping the girl. Right in the nose then kept hitting her i had to pull her off and she never showed it to that girl or anyone.

In that gymnasium but that affected her and it wasn't until we got into the car that she cried and she asked me abuelo. Why isn't my father here does he not want us, does he hate mami and i told her that she was too little to understand.

And that her mother would tell her when she was a little bigger which she thought was stupid but that was the last time she cried. So seeing you here with the woman who implode your family and that hurts it's why she took a page out of her mother's book.

My point being is that you can't come here trying to make things okay for this one because let's face facts she is the catalyst for all that has happened. Worry less about her hurt feelings and consider you children because she's right.

Your son is the one you will have to worry about Ms. Henry how are you" he said hugging then tossing Curtis a set of keys. "What is this for"Curtis asked, "That is for Sam and Drew's house they will be here in the afternoon look you have back up.

Because i tell you Curtis your going to need it" Manolo laughed as he started walked to the house just then Jordan's phone rang. "Hello Miche what's up i saw you called but i'm with Curtis right now WHAT WHEN IS HE OKAY OH MY GOD I WILL BE THERE"Jordan said hanging up. As Stella and Curtis looked at her"what happened" Curtis says, my dad is in the hospital he was hurt in an explosion" she answered.

Manolo smiled as he continued to the house leaving them there"Babe i'm sorry you should go" he says. " I have to this is my father i'm going to call TJ and fill him in but i need you with me" she says. "I know Jordan and i wish i could but i need to be here i need to make things right theses are my kids"Curtis said. As she looked at him hurt"As you can see they were poisoned against you it's not going the way you want Curtis.

Why stay for them not to even give you a chance baby" Jordan says as Stella looked at her incredulously. "I understand baby but i will talk to my daughter tomorrow and i will come after that but i need to do this" he says kissing her forehead as she pulled away. Shaking her head then taking the car they drove there then leaving.


Baltimore, Maryland

Johnson house

Chuckie came and sat next to his son after talking to his wife he needed to have that talk with his son again. "Hey Lam i heard Star was at the hospital today" Chuckie asked when his son smiled. "Yeah she did because i asked her too" Lamar said, so it seems like you guys re getting serious but how serious" he says. Groaning because he knew what his father was trying to insinuate"Dad we haven't gotten to that yet" he replies.

"Then tell me how serious are you guys that you want to fly all the way out to Florida to surprises her" Chuckie asked his son. With a sigh " Dad I think she's the one I know she's alot guard but she gets me and I know why she is the way she is. He dad leaving her and with her best friend dying made her not want to get close with anyone.

But when it's just us I see her heart she is smart , She's beautiful, she's sweet but she's tough like mom. And she's with me " Lamar says, so you not having sex because I want you to remember. Treat her like you want someone to treat your little sisters or you're cousins"his father says.

He groans again " dad I know I won't lie to you do yes but I love her enough to wait until she's ready. And I want her to know that I'm not going to leave her behind like her dad"he responds. Just then Michelle came in " I finally got in contact with Jordan she's on her way she didn't even let me tell her.

That daddy was fine she's on her way if you asked me it's an excuse to not be around her new found step kids" Michelle says. As her older brother looks at her sternly" Miche" Chuckie says, what how else is she supposed to feel. When you find out your husband has some fly by night kids from other woman from his past.

And now it has him tied up in knots come on Chuckie she's a newlywed and she has to share her husband. With someone else but I still believe it's a crock and that Stella tampered with the DNA test" she says with a shrug. " Michelle stop her and Curtis are good stop making it something it's not" her older brother said.

Several hours later Jordan came in house with her sister Ebony flickering through the channels on the tv" JoJo you didn't have to come. Michelle said she talk to you but you never let her tell you he's fine. He gets released tomorrow" she said hugging her older sister, sighing with relief" when heard explosion.

I think I just went into overdrive you what happened who did this to him" Jordan asked, well Chuckie thinks it's this girl they are looking for. Do you remember that case where they found that dead girl in a warehouse owned by some guy I can't remember his name. Something Tavares whatever the Fed's believed that he stumbled upon something so they had a joint task force.

They cleared the man of any wrong doing they found out that someone was renting the space. That was before all these antiques started going missing they assume it's him at first. Then they found out that it was some girl trying to get his attention and think this girl killed the woman in the warehouse.

But anyway some paintings were stolen a few days ago and they tracked it there to the explosion site. Chuckie says Daddy thought it was a set up and it was rigged with explosives. Daddy tried to get them to stop and that's when the explosion happened. He has minor cuts and bruises and a major concussion is all they did some brain scan he's fine.

Which I'm guessing you knew that and you just wanted to get away from Curtis's and his supposed kids" Ebony says. Shaking her head" it was that young girl Curtis was messing with the one that was doing her residency. That we all thought was too young for him but Tommy said he was head over hills in love with her.

And that he was going to ask her to marry him and I kid you not it was just as bad as I knew it would be. To make matters worse is he stands there and watches her disrespect me and does nothing. The whole time he was staring at her half naked ass dumbfounded.

After she closes the door in his face the daughter come and she is just as disrespectful I wanted to scream. I have never wanted to lay my hands on someone else's child in my life. She basically threw my past mistakes in my face because her mother told her.

Instead of just being honest with them that she was a spiteful bitch who didn't tell their father they existed. Because of her hurt feelings I don't care if he was responsible for her accident. She still should have told him but she wanted to hurt him" Jordan ranted finally breathing.

As her sister looked at her" just breath where is he now is he with you" Ebony says, shaking her head" no he's there punishing himself for not being there. And I'm afraid he's going to allow himself to be taking advantage of it's why I insisted he come with me.

I will not allow my husband to treated this way if they are not willing to hear and understand that it was their mothers fault not his" she says angrily.
