University of Maryland hospital

" Hey Pop where's JoJo I figured she would be here" Chuckie says, she went to be there for her husband"senior answers. Nodding his head" I guess you know I can't imagine how he feels having kids out there and never knowing" he replies. His father gave him an agreeing nod" so anything on this girl we are looking for Charles says.

Shaking his head" Nothing that we found on the explosive just yet not even an MO. But whoever she is she knew exactly what she was doing they did recover the painting but it was destroyed. The gallery is pissed because it was on loan to them from a collector and it was worth 2.5 million dollars" Chuckie responds.

Running his hand across his face"so how much was all the paintings she took worth" senior asked, something in the ball park of 45 million dollars" his son answered. Getting more of a groan from him as Chuckie shook his head" You know I've been thinking and what if she was watching us the whole time.

It's the only way for her to know when to blow the bomb" Charles Sr says, as Chuckie thought for a moment" and what if the explosion in itself was a distraction. For her to get away in the chaos of it all" he responded to his father, shit call it in have the feds start looking into all the tenants of neighboring buildings. With a perfect vantage point of seeing everything that was going on" senior said.

As Chuckie pulled out his phone and making the phone call when Michelle walked in "Daddy your not supposed to be working your supposed to be taking it easy. Where's JoJo is she still here or has she gone and put that bitch and her brats in their place" she says. Hugging her father "I am taking it easy i am waiting for the Doctor to come and clear me Michelle!"Charles says.

Rolling her eyes "Oh come on I don't think those kids are his at all I think Stella and that woman is pulling a ruse on her. Just to mess up their marriage that woman has had a problem with Jordan since Tommy died and it wasn't her fault. It was his own" Michelle continued, "Enough Michelle" the older man said as she stopped talking.

When Chuckie came back in "I spoke to the feds they will start working on it tomorrow" he says. As he father nodded "Oh and have brief the team on it this girl has a bigger reach then when initially thought she was just a copy cat. But she isn't and they feds need to go through it again and run the profile again" Senior says when the doctor knocked on the door.


The Loft

Lamar stood fuming "Where's Star" he asked, relaxed kid before you get your ass kicked she's on her way. "Gio what's going on" the woman says speaking in Italian. " Nothing important I will be with you in a minute I promise" Baggio answers.

"Why you in Stars apartment anyway" Lamar says, as the older guy laughed" this isn't her apartment" he countered. Crossing his arms" then why did her friend say it was her place" he replied back, I don't know but that's a conversation you should have with her.

Now I have a prime piece of Italian ass waiting for me and tourists standing here blocking" Gio says. As Lamar's head jerked" I'm not blocking I came to surprise my girlfriend and find you here. So as you can see I'm just as surprised as you are" he replies.

Nodding his head" yeah well you should know she hates surprises" Baggio says, " I know that but there are plenty good surprises. And I want her to expect good things from me and see that people can be really good to" Lamar says. Shaking his head with a chuckle "yeah good luck with that kid" the older man said.

Switching from her car to her motorcycle she pulled up in front of the building when she peeped his friends. As she walked towards the building with none of them noticing her shaking her head already annoyed but plastered a smile on her face.

"Baggio I'm here what's up Lamar what are you doing here" Star asked, Estrella hablo con el oyete" Baggio says starting to go into the apartment. "Her name is Star you know that I came to see my girlfriend " he said, like I said Estrella talk to this kid before I beat his ass" the man said going into the apartment and closing the door.

Pulling his arm"What is your problem" she asked, who is that guy Star and I didn't like him calling you Estrella"Lamar said angrily. Her swung around" wow first of all that guy is my cousin and second Estrella is my name is spanish and what's the attiude about" she said. "Because you giving me attitude like im supposed to be okay with so man i don't know at your house" he says.

"It's not my house it's a work space that i share with him and how'd you get this address in the first place" Star says. As he put his hand in his pockets " I'm sorry I don't want to fight i want to surprise you" Lamar answered. Crossing her arms"That wasn't my question who told you this was my house" she asked waiting for him to speak. Sighing "Jada she thought it was romantic" he replied, you know i hate surprises right.

Then why spring something on me had you called i would have told you not to come because it's not a good time. Look I have alot family stuff going on right now and I need to be here" she says. "Then i want to be here for you Star" Lamar says,knowing just how persistent he could be.

She needed to get rid of him fast changing the subject"Where are you staying " Star asked already having a plan in her head. " I was trying to stay with you probably meet your mom, your brother or your grandparents you always talk about them. It just feels like you don't want me to meet the people who matter to you" he said.

Inwardly cringing "Well like i said that's not a good idea right now there's alot going on right now. It's not a good time so can we go now" she says taking out her phone and texting someone. Making him pick her up and hug her when his friend came in "Yo Lam bro what's going on" his friend Christian says coming inside as he put Star back down on the ground.

"Nothing everything is cool bro" Lamar answered his friend nodded "Yo star you got some fly ass friends or what hook a brother up"he said. Plastering a fake smile on her face when her phone beeped "Okay well i have somewhere for y'all to stay so are y'all down she answered. Completely ignoring his question she wasn't bring her cousin into this at all she wasn't stupid.


Elle's house

Curtis continously rang the doorbell knowing just how much she hated it when the door yanked open. With her swing at him shoving him from the door"Stop playing on my fucking door Curtis we are not fucking kid your children are not here. So you have no reason to be here so go back to your sister law and go on about your fucking business. Alright you can call Star and i'm pretty certain she told you where she was going there is no reason for you to seek me out.

And i would prefer you call before you just show up at my house show some respect for my boyfriend. Oh and before i forget tell that bitch don't ever show up at my house again she and i have nothing to talk about. Star and Les are not babies if they want to talk to you that is on them now goodbye I don't need you fucking up my buzz goodnight" Elle said.

Going to close the door when he stuck his foot in the door making her slam it on his foot"FUCK DAMN IT WOMAN THAT WAS MY FOOT" Curtis says. "Good the shit didn't belong there now leave damn Hi O you got my Sos" she says. As Curtis looked behind him seeing Orlando had him boiling inside "Yes I did Elle that's why I am here, Curtis what's up" Orlando answered.

Kissing Elle then going inside the house "Good night Curtis go home to your brothers trash" she said, Star told me about Roman Elle I should have been there. And I know your tired of hearing me say I'm sorry but i am and that is on me i fucked up" Curtis said. Shrugging "well it's Seventeen and half years to late and your sorry does nothing good bye Curtis" Elle says closing the door in his face.

Taking a deep breath and shook her head "You okay Elle" Orlando asked, yeah I'm fine i meant what i said his sorry does nothing. Now can we go upstair para que pueda montar el toro" she said wiggling her eyebrows. Making him laugh " you nasty do you kiss you mother with that mouth he says with a grin, do you now go before any of those bitches come inside" she says pushing him up the stairs.


Drew and Sam's house

He drove around for a while before he came back to the house thinking of all the ways he messed up. Had he just told her truth he son would be here and he realized why they didn't want to hurt his aunt. She loved Tommy so much and she lost him, then her sister and finding out about Roman. Who was a direct affect of his stupidity only made matters worse now he knew he had to do everything in his power to get them to let him in.

Everyone was asleep so he crashed on the couch not wanting to wake anyone when he was tapped on the shoulder. "Curtis what are you doing down here why didn't you come to bed" Jordan says sitting next to him. "I need to think and i guess i just fell asleep here" he answers, well we need to talk about this situation. Because I can't continue like this having her throwing my past in my face and you had another child did you know that.

Before the twins did she tell you that no so much for her being so honest right" she ranted, no she didn't Jordan she was pregnant with triplets. He died 20 days after they were born they were born at 27 weeks she out of it for 4 days she almost died. So it wasn't a separate pregnancy" says, Oh my god did she tell you that" Jordan says.

Shaking his head "No Star told" Curtis replied rolling her eyes "Look baby i know you want to get to know them. But I think there is something is funny with this whole thing babe. And after talking to my sister I think we should run our own DNA test.

Wait Curtis hear me out its something your aunt can use to come between us and she knew you use to be in love with this woman. And that's what she wants to come between us now if I'm wrong I will accept that but you need to know for sure babe" she says.

His head swung up" Those are my kids Jordan I don't need another DNA test to prove it either. We weren't using protection every because I was trying to get her pregnant. Because I wanted her to stay because she was the only thing keeping me together.

But the thing is I got my wish but it didn't make her stay it made her run from me because like a fucking coward. I didn't man the fuck up now I realized they were testing me and i failed. So here I am trying to make it up to my kids whether they want me here or not.

Don't ever think my aunt would do something like that for what to come between us that would hurt me in the long run. She wouldn't do that to me" Curtis says, baby you are letting those kids take advantage of your guilt. And you can't let them do that they are children and they need boundaries and you and i need to set them.

Curtis because I will not take the disrespect I am YOUR WIFE not some random woman you met 22 years ago" Jordan shot back. "Random it was nothing random about my relationship with her we were together for five years Jordan. We lived together we were planning a life together that was pretty damn good until it wasn't.

So don't belittle my relationship to make your self feel better or whatever BUT THOSE ARE MY KIDS!. I was her first and only guy she was with in that time because she loved me so just stop. I will deal with MY KIDS Me Jordan not you and they have every right to be angry with me because I was a got damn fool" he said.

"Well at least we can agree on that" Elesandro says coming into the room with his sister behind him. As Curtis looked up trying to read them to see if they heard the whole conversation but he couldn't. Shaking her head not being able to hold back anymore"good someone had to be the adult in this situation then I will.

Let me make something clear to the two of you because someone has to you will not disrespect me or Curtis we are they adults. Do I make myself clear you want to be mad be mad at your mother she didn't tell him" Jordan said. When the twins started laughing "bitch bye have several seat and shut up" Star said.

When Elesandro looked at her dead serious sucking his teeth" I will say this once so hear me when no say this watch how you talk about MY mother because unlike you she's not a fucking whore. She wasn't fucking two men at the same time that's your shit"he said.

"ENOUGH EVERYONE ESTRELLA, LES PLEASE" Curtis says rolling her eyes, " we didn't start it she did mentioning our mother. I was coming here to get him so we could go work out" Star said. " She act like somebody want to see her ass" Elesandro says making his sister laugh.

Jordan look at him" I just made myself clear about the disrespect" she says, as his sister backed up. "And it's my mouth I can say what I want your not my mother you can't tell me what to say with my mouth. I don't owe you or him bo dick fuck out here you Star I'm grab this protein shake to go" he replied.

Just as Jordan got up to speak Sam and Curtis stopped her" Don't do that Jordan he isn't your child to reprimand and I get it. But this is Curtis fight so I need all of you to stay out of each others way" Sam says.

"Gladly don't want to see the maldito cuero anyway we were just going to get the shakes from the fridge" Star says. Shaking her head" these are children they do not get a say or disrespect adults"Jordan said.

As the twins laughed" Oh no it's not adults it's just you this mother fo I have a bone to pick but that's between me and my sperm donor. Not the community chest he rocking with"Elesandro says as Sam Looked at him sternly the teen put his hands up and walked away.

All the while Curtis had a smile on his face knowing he made a small dent in Elesandro's armor, hey do you want to come with us please" Star asked Curtis batting her eyes. When Elesandro shouted from the kitchen" NO Estrella!"as she looked at Curtis with hopeful eyes.

It reminded him of Elle so much when she got excited about something"Sure I will go with you guys just let me take a quick shower" Curtis said jumping up. And rushing past Jordan as she went after him when Les came out the kitchen and glared at his sister.

" Your not going to get what you want manita" Les says as she smiled and winks at him. Plopping down on the couch" Manito I always get what I want" she replied as he mumbled to himself. "Not this time" he says, all the time Elesandro" Star says with a grin "Hey I understand your anger just please tone it down" Sam says, sure thing Titi I will stay far from her"
