Port Charles

Kelly's Diner

After walking through the park to be alone in her own thoughts she had been doing that alot lately. It wasn't intentional it was more of a way for her to sort out her feelings it had been a year since. Oscar died and she wasn't anymore ready to let him go then she was the day he died. Kelly's was her last stop she would get his favorite and sit back down by the docks.

When she stopped and picked up the stuff animal when all she heard was crying then him with the baby in his arms. As he was looking for something "Okay Dani por favor deja de llorar por papi please i can get you another one" he said. Putting the child down as she continued crying "Excuse me are you looking for this" Josslyn says.

When he turned around and stood up straight looking at her throwing his head back in relief "Oh thank god" he says reaching for it. That's when the little girl wiped her tears "muni" Danisa says with a bright dimpled smile, yes mami Muni can you say thank you" he says. Josslyn smiled "Hi his your teddy oh my gosh your sister is so adorable" she replies as the takes the teddy.

He smiled and for the first time in a long time Josslyn smiled "I'm Josslyn and whose this pretty little thing" she asked. With a nod he shook her hand "I'm Les and this is my daughter Danisa"he responded. Then looking up at him in shock he had amber eyes with braids on top of his head. And his light carmel skin with his growing beard "She's your daughter but your like my age" Joss says.

"Yeah she's my daughter and what are you 14 or something' he says with a hint of sarcasm making her roll her eyes. "I'm seventeen thank you very much" she countered as he laughed" I'm joking but yea I'm a cautionary tell of what not to do Les said. But she was playing peeka boo with his daughter as she smiled "How old is she" she asked. Smiling down at his daughter "she just turned two a month ago" he answered with pride.

She could tell that his daughter meant everything to him "Aww Hi Danisa I'm Josslyn" she says tickling her making the girl giggle. That's when she saw the dimples "Papi Dosslyn" she says, Les smiled "Sorry she is still confusing her J's" he says. Waving it off" she's two years old don't worry about it where's her mom" she was smitten by the little girl.

That's when his smile faded "Umm i should go it was nice meeting you Josslyn dile bye, bye Dani" Elesandro said. Noticing his change "I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry" she says, nah don't sweat it shorty it's not your problem we cool though I should go" he says.

Picking up Danisa and leaving all she could do was watching them go. But something in her couldn't shake the feeling she felt watching them leave as the little girl waved goodbye.


Somewhere in Port Charles

Since finding out what happened he had been back and forth to his friends house for Star. Who the more he got to know she was every bit of her mother when they first met. But every time he just wanted to talk she sent him and it was really starting to get on his nerves.

This last time had him wanting to go straight to the house and speak to her himself. Drew keeps telling him to be patient and they will get there but he just wasn't seeing it. Then to top it off Jordan was upset about what she heard between him and Orlando.

He couldn't help but be jealous and finding out that she was married. To that English dick pissed him off even more he was always jealous when it came to other men. Even looking her direction what pissed him off even more was Orlando was right.

Jordan did cost him his brother, his kids a career he loved and here he was looking like boo boo the fool. As his daughter put it so did his aunt who he had been sleeping on her couch. For the last few days because Jordan kicked him out because he wouldn't tell Elena to leave.

Flashback

Curtis came back from the bathroom when he saw some guy trying to hit on his girl when something took over him. Stalking over "Hey man can I help" he said glaring at the guy, "Pa he was just leaving is what he was doing" Elle said annoyed. "Damn girl you cold brother can't take you out to dinner" the man says completely ignoring Curtis. Making her put her hand on Curtis chest shaking her head "Okay let's try this again and try and understand this time I told that I'm with someone.

And I am very happy so i'm not interested so now that you seen him you can go" she tells the guy more calmly. "My girl asked you so bounce" Curtis says moving in front of her as the guy looked him up and down then over to her. "Seriously sweets he don't look like your type i saw you out there you move like an Island girl" the guy said.

When Curtis swung hitting him right in the face that's when she pulled him before he attack him again "What is it with you mother fuckers who don't know how to respect people relationships" he says angrily. As Ross pushed him back "What I told you nicely to go man and you kept pushing on talking to my girl" he says taking his jacket off.

Just then Elena grabbed his face "Hey look at me he isn't worth it Curtis I'm with you, I love you okay so now your going to go outside and cool of" she says. Taking him by the hand and lead him through the back of the club where she watched him pace back and forth angrily talking to himself. While she sat on the hood of her car "What the hell is going on with you lately Curtis.

I mean the other day at the restaurant you snap at that kid out of nowhere don't look at me like that he was our waiter. Then yesterday we're in the supermarket and the guy was watching me dance in aisle and you shove him almost get us kicked.

And tonight you completely knocked him out Curtis why he wasn't worth it are you trying to lose your job. Everything that you are working towards you just took the test to be a detective right and you want to lose that because you can't keep your cool.

What the fuck is going on up there have I ever given you any reason to think I would give these people any time of day. Or reason for you not to trust me when your not around" she asked as he stopped pacing and stood in front of her.

No embarrassed on how he acted he put his head down and shook it when she used her hand to pick his face up. "Pa look at me I know something is bothering you talk to me"Elle said shaking his head "No you haven't it's just dudes like that work my nerve" he answered.

As she cocked her head to the side and looked at him again he chuckled and he pulled her closer to him by her waist and taking a deep breath. "I gotta tell you something because I don't know what to do I found out that Jordan is cheating on Tommy with Shawn. And I just felt like if she can do that and she is married what's to stop that from happening to us" Curtis says finally saying it out loud.

"And you haven't told you brother why exactly" Elle says, I promised her i wouldn't say anything because I don't want to destroy my brother's family babe" he says shaking his head.

Putting her hands on his shoulder and she shook her head "No Curtis that is bullshit she destroyed her family the moment she slept her husbands friend. That's not on you Pa that's on her and from the moment I met you Curtis Byron Ashford you looked up to your big brother.

She has shown that she has no respect for him but you should who else is going to watch his back your loyalty is to him not her. Now as far as us I maybe young but I know exactly what I want and it's you not every Tom, Dick and Harry that looks at me. Alright so please cut the cave man bullshit because you have nothing and I mean nothing to worry about" she says kissing both his cheeks then his forehead then lips.

Making him smile"There it is that's the smile that I love so much" Elle said caressing his face, god I would be so lost without you Elena. My life would go to shit without you and I mean that and I will try to be the man you deserve as long as I walk this earth" Curtis says.

Kissing the palms of her hands "Good i'm glad you know that so what are you going to do" she said with a grin. When he tickles her as she starts laughing "alright, alright Uncle" Elena says as she stops he sighs.

"I have to tell the truth Elle I owe i him that he has always had my back now I have to have his" he replies. Nodding in agreement "Good as you should now can we go back inside there playing my song" he says.

Picking her up "How about we go back to our place and I play your song for you all night while i make love to the love of my life" Curtis says. As he kisses her neck gently she moans"But it's the opening of Rossy's new spot I can't just leav... she stammered out.

While he began sucking on her neck "You don't play fair but let's go back inside and tell Ross where going to go down boy" Elle says with a grin. Putting her back down on the ground then walked back to the club hand in hand feeling ten times better then he had in the last few days.

And she was right his life did go to shit and now he was lying in its ruins of it all. Only one he could blame was himself but damn just seeing her and not even being able to talk to her. Closing his eyes and sighs that's when he heard her laughter something that always did the heart good for him. Looking up when he saw her with his granddaughter in her arms who he only seen through pictures.

Because his son still wanted nothing to do with him and he told him those very words. Another thing his was trying desperately to fix but his son would hear nothing of it. Honestly he couldn't blame him but it didn't make it hurt any less all he could do was stare. When Elle handed the baby to another girl that was with her" Miranda take her to the boat with your father please"she says.

The girl shook her head and took the baby and walked away"Elena wait please"Curtis says. She looked at Miranda and nodded the girl walked away, what I'm kind of busy what is it that you think you have to tell me"she replies. He sigh "your were right there aren't any words that I can say to you that would justify the things I've done to you.

I was a scared punk looking to punish myself and you and our children paid the price for my mistakes. And I am man enough to say that now but i just want you to know I am sorry more then words can express.

I was an complete fucking coward and I understand why if you never speak to me but I hope you will forgive me one day. And it's not like I forgot you I could never forget you but you said and I quote if I didn't make it to the air strip don't bother calling me because I'm done.

Elle I swear on everything I did try to get there everything that happened to you and them was on me not you it was my fault I wasn't strong enough and I let guilt turn my life upside down. Instead of turning to the one person who I knew had my back I turned to drugs but you have to understand I was a a stubborn man I didn't want to burden you.

Because I remember your dad saying a man has to carry his own weight and I didn't want you taken care of me because I should be taken care of you. But I wanted to punish myself but I didn't want to lose you and I lose you anyway, I lose everybody. Now I live with the regret of walking away I could come up with excuse but I'm not.

The only thing I can tell you is that I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart" Curtis says staring her in the face. All the while Orlando watched not to far as did Jordan Elena just shrugged. "Ok" Elle says moving to leave Jordan spoke,"that's it he's not going to keep apologizing for something that happen a long time ago" she says.

Elle looked at Orlando then Curtis and rolled her eyes"Jordan stop I owe her that"he said. "You don't owe her anything Curtis"Jordan says, Yes I do if I'm being honest so do you because had I told my brother the truth before he left. He would be here my mother would be here MY SON WOULD BE HERE" Curtis said.

"Umm baby your son is here he with me" Stella says confused he closed his eyes and sighs. "Shit" he mumbled then looked up at Elena and Elesandro "Call your sister y'all need to have this conversation" Elle said. Stella looked between Elle,Curtis and Les"what's really going on" she asked, just as Star came over taking her shades of.

"How the hell do I owe that woman anything"Jordan says,"YOUR LIES IS WHAT BROUGHT ALL THIS ON"Curtis says. Leaving her in shock as well everyone so much so Elesandro started laughing. As did Orlando "look whose balls finally dropped" he said laughing.
