Port Charles

Sonny's office

"So have you come to a decision about what you're going to Danny is your son he needs his father"Sonny says. Shaking his head"No I haven't I just feel like there has to be another way I don't want to put Danny through that. I've seen it with you and Carly and Michael and Morgan in the middle I won't do that to Danny.

Do I miss him ever day but I don't know what else to do Sonny Sam pregnant with twins. I can't just try and take him from her she can give him what I can't right now" Jason says. "But he is your son you would rather break your own heart come on you have to fight for what is yours.

That's the problem Jason your not fighting for what is yours you have to be selfish that's your family. He has your wife that's should be yours because he was willing to fight for it"he says. Taking a deep breath "Come on Sonny I don't want to put Sam and Danny in the middle of that and make myself out to be the bad guy.

Drew need a to feel like he's won something but he hasn't and Sam will. One back she always does"he says. As Sonny watched his friend sympathetically" yeah but at what cost to her" he says.


Somewhere in Port Charles

Carly knocked on the door she didn't feel good about doing this but it had to be done. "Hey Carly back so soon what up I spoke to Lulu she said and i told I would pay but she refused. But I cut her a check anyway she is running a business but she insisted that being Josslyn's God mother.

It would be on the house but i made her an offer she could refuse. See what I did there a mob references"Jax says with a grin"Jax we need to talk I think it's best that Josslyn stays with me and Sonny. Where she would have more discipline because you have her doing whatever she chooses.

And it's best you not fight me on this Jax can you honestly say you've been doing what's in her best interest. No you haven't I am her mother and I will do what's best for her even if she doesn't like it. You've been more concerned with being the good guys and well I'm not and you know what that's okay.

Jax' scoffs"Spare me the bullshit Carly this isn't about what's best for Josslyn this is about your need for control. And for her to see things as you see see them you don't like that she has a mind of her own. That's what this is really about her eyes are open to who your really are.

And you hate it an guess what Carly I will fight you on it with everything i have. I will always do what's best for OUR daughter your just upset that she isn't falling in line. With what you want " Jax argues, look I don't want to do this but I will ok you can still be there. But she is going to live with me and Sonny with her sister that way I know someone is there.

With her and she isn't left to her own devices and going down the wrong path you are allowing this. Don't make this harder then it needs to be Jax" she says, right I don't think so Carly Joss is old enough to say where she wants to live. An she has chosen to live with me go right ahead and take this to court if you want to but they will hear her and her wants"he says.

"She is a child and her place is with her mother and we are going to have to agree to disagree" she says. Placing the papers in front of him"Hey dad I have the list"Joss says stopping when she saw the heated look between them. As she looked between them suspiciously "Umm what's going on" the teen asked while Carly looked at Jax.

Shaking her head"your moving back in with me and Sonny right Jax" Carly says looking him straight in the eyes. Just as he was about to speak"No I'm not going back there i don't want to sit across from a man who tried to kill my father your freaking crazy" Josslyn says. With a panicked look on her face" Josslyn you don't have a choices" she says.

"Yes i do and i choice DAD" the teen says, and that's where your going to stay" Jax says firmly letting Carly know he was going to be intimidated. "Jax I'm serious"the woman says, "So am I Carly your not going to push me into giving you what you want Joss is going to stay with me. Until she goes to whatever College she wants and I will pay for because i believe in our daughter and the person she is" he said.

All Carly could do was stare at him pleadingly she didn't want to do this to him but she would do whatever she needed to do to protect her daughter even from herself. As the tears start to fill her eyes"Jax don't do this I don't want to hurt you" she says.

Shaking his head as he runs his hand over his face "well your already have goodbye Carly" Jax says. "I'm not leaving without Josslyn she say when Alexis comes in "You are you've made your point you want power see you in court" she says.

"I didn't have to come to this Josslyn come on" Carly says, but you made it that way Carly goodbye Josslyn isn't going anywhere" Jax says. Standing his ground as she stormed out when Alexis turned to him before hugging him "why didn't you call me why did I have to hear this from Nina" Alexis says.

Jax looked at her strangely "How did she know" he asked, I don't know all I know was I was heading to the restaurant and she said that you needed me" she say. All while Joss stood there in shock "Dad I really don't want you to be dragged into this because of me" Josslyn says. That's when he hugged her "shush you let me worry about it okay I promise you everything will be okay" he says.

As Alexis watched her best friend with his little girl come hell or high water she would make sure. He won this case Joss wasn't a baby anymore she was a young girl who was at the age. To say who and where she wanted to live and she didn't need to know that this was about Elesandro.

Who she knew for a long time since they met in 2008 he was respectful and responsible young man. But she knew Carly well enough to know she pushed his buttons with her self entitled attitude. So she was going to end it and Carly will use all the tricks in the book to be the one in control. She's still doing it to Michael because he wants to share custody with Lucas and Brad.


Baltimore

As they let out for a short recess Michelle stormed over shoving him "what the hell was that huh" she says angrily. He Poised himself "Nena this isn't the place or time for this conversation" Monty says. "You attacked my sisters Monty and you never let the defense even rattle that bitches cage are your serious" Michelle says. "Play to win Michelle and I will win Ms. Miller how can I help you" he asked.

"I am here to speak to the Johnson family Mr. Dela Cruz" Diane asked, by all means counselor" he says. With a nod of his head before walking away as Michelle seethe "What's going on Ms. Miller" she asked as the rest of their family came over "I need one of you to talk her out of trying to testify. I am trying to save her from a life sentences please you need to talk to her" the lawyer pleaded.

When her father hurried to speak to her he was going to talk her down he knew she needed. To tell her side but he was a realists testifying would only damage her case it wouldn't help. Opening the door as she was pacing back and forth"JoJo baby I know you want people understand but their not honey.

You get on that stand today that's it we fought to keep your off the stand. Jordan you cannot do that to yourself or your son who maybe angry right now but he loves you. Baby girl you get on the stand you run the risk of getting life in prison do you understand.

If you didn't lose it in that court room just now they would have been sympathetic but they aren't now. Because they don't see the whole story" Charlie says,but daddy I can't have that woman destroy everything that I worked my ass off for. Everything that I've worked she didn't even bat an eye she just got up there and lied.

I wasn't trying to kill her I thought my life was on the line so drew my weapon" Jordan says. " I know baby but that car accident baby is what we need to work on tell me what happened. Honey I need to know what was going through your mind" he says.

"Honestly I don't even know because it was a long time ago but i do know I wasn't thinking clearly. That woman put her nose in my business where it didn't belong my husband was gone because of her. This is her fault she set this up to look like the victim i know she did"Jordan says. Just then Diane knocked" I have something you need to consider the DA.

Put a deal on the table 15 to 25 years is better then the 25 to life you would get if this continues. I have tried every legal maneuver i had to get you off but it's not working and I honestly thought I would have broken that woman. But she was not moved at all and i thought with the TBI she would've snapped.

And I could have used that to my advantage but that was not the case and I apologize. So we have to think of what is going to give you the shortest sentence I truly wanted to get you off. By breaking her and that did not work so this is what was presented to us and this is as low as their going to go" the lawyer says.

All Jordan could do is shake her head her father hugged her then taking his phone out. Meanwhile in Curtis sat next Elle " Are you okay" he says making her turn to look at him. "Why do you ask"she says, seeing that video it breaks my heart every time. She's the reason I lost you wait but I'm also to blame because if i was hundred I would have seen it before the crash" Curtis says honestly.

Crossing her arms"So why didn't you tell me what was going on ,you know what I don't give a fuck whatever. No forget i said anything" Elle says, no i won't forget Elle this is why out kids are afraid of love Elle. You think i can't see it but i can Starr would rather walk away then to try. And Les he is crazy about Josslyn but the moment it happens he's going to run like hell because he's afraid if getting hurt.

I can admit that its my fault to Elle because I wasn't there and I am sorry alright. But we have to do better so they don't lose the person they love because if fear and stupidity" he said. "Whatever it doesn't matter Curtis its in the past" Elle says. Only to look up and see Elesandro and Estrella standing having heard the whole conversation. Making their mother sigh and shake her head as Curtis runs his hand across his face.
