As they spread the blanket on the grass "I'm really sorry about the other day I just got so angry. At how he spoke to you and then him bringing up Nelle where Jonah could hear set me off. And just the fact that he knew that and we shouldn't ask questions about him and it made me angry. but you were right we were with our son and he didn't need to see me that way" Michael says.
"I understand his frustration Michael because his child was crying you know and when your child is crying. It's a whole other feeling and we would feel the same way if someone made Jonah cry. So I understand that she doesn't know me anyway. How did it go with your brother" she says.Michael groaned "still stubborn and he wants to punish our parents and his wife feeds into that. It's the same thing with Ava all over again and he doesn't see but everyone else does. And Krissy just lives to piss off our dad so she supports it instead of being his big sister" he replies.
As they sat down watching Jonah play she rubs his back "I'm sure it must be hard on you" Willow says. He sighs " I don't know what to do Willow I just want my family to be whole you know. I want our kids to grow up together knowing each other as family like we did with Kristina and Molly. But he just is so stuck I don't know what to say anymore" Michael says, when Jonah runs over. "Daddy can I go over there and play with Marley, Mariano and Dani? '' he asked.
Taking them by surprise making them get up as Michael looked around for Morgan. Before him and Willow walked over to where they were only to find Reya and Robinson. "Hi Dani, Marley '' Jonah said happily as the kids embraced one another. "Hello Dani" Willow says, staring at the little girl who hid behind her uncle's leg "That means she doesn't wanna talk to you. So you can respect her boundaries because you crossed them" Robinson said. Anger Michael "You know i'm getting real sick and tired of you fake tough guys.
Thinking you know something about boundaries she six" he spat, "so what she's a person. And if she doesn't want to talk to her she doesn't have to and you as the adult should respect that. To top off just because she is six doesn't mean that you can do something she's not comfortable with. That may work in your family but that doesn't work in mine so fall back" the teen says making Michael mad. Willow grabbed his hand "It's okay she doesn't have to talk to me" she says, "ahh Michael how about this you be an adult he's fourteen.
What are you gonna do, hit him? You don't know how to have a normal conversation with a child,"Reya says. "Funny, maybe he should check his attitude, '' Michael says when Marley stood in front of his mother. "Mami is everything okay" he asked, "awwe ay mi amor everything is fine play keep an eye on your brother it's okay" she replies. The boy looked up at Michael ``I'm watching you if you hurt you my mami my daddy is gonna hurt you. He doesn't like anyone hurting our family" Marley says.
Making Michael look down at him seeing how he looked so much like Morgan "I wouldn't think of hurting your momma" he says to the boy. Who watched him suspiciously "Oyeme chamacito ven te pa jugar,Robinson, vigila a los niños. Huelo el hedor de Corinthos y no es este." Reya says. As Robbie looked at Michael before walking away rubbing his face " Do they even know that I'm his uncle. Or does he just know your family? Michael said. While Willow watched seeing the hurt in his face Reya chuckled "that's not on me that's on Morgan. If he wants to I will support him hundred percent. He knows that but if he doesn't it's his choice" she responded.
He scoffed "Right making it seem like it's him. I know my brother would have come home. And he would have forgiven our parents because that is who he is,"Michael says as Reya shook her head. "So what you're saying is that it's my fault he doesn't speak to your parents and you. Come on now Michael you know why he doesn't speak to you or should I say it in front of your new lady friend. So instead of taking responsibility for how we got here you blame me when it has nothing. To do with me that's some in house shit but it's easy to blame me so y'all don't' have to look at yourselves.
And how y'all created this mess' 'Reya says, "No Reya you feed into and his worse impulses. Have you ever just said hey I think it's time to forgive and move forward and see what happens. Or better yet how about you hospitalizing my brother and not even trying to help him" he said. "Yeah she has but I'm not interested because you guys take no accountability for what you've done. But you're always real quick to call me out on my wrongdoings but for yourselves it's not the same.
Why are you bothering my wife" Morgan says, making his brother turn around "I'm not bothering anyone, I'm simply asking a question. Tell me something Morgan when are you gonna stop punishing our parents for wanting what's best for you huh" Michael said. Hoping to get through to his brother the hurt he saw on his parents ran through his head. Morgan smirked "No Michael it wasn't what was best for me it was only what they wanted for me. With no care to what I wanted" he says, Michael shook his head "See Morgan that's her talking not you" he said.
"And that's the problem Mikey, you all think I don't have a mind of my own and I just let everyone lead me because I couldn't possibly think for myself" Morgan responded. "No Morgan we all want something for ourselves but is isolating yourself from your family and the people who love you? Do you understand the hurt you caused our parents?''Michael says. "Then your parents know how it feels when they hurt other people dude do you hear yourself"he snapped back" babe relax the kids are watching" Reya said holding his hand. ]
Making his brother scoff"something you gotta say 'Michael"Reya says" If you really cared about my brother you wouldn't have kept him from his family" Michael said. "I love your brother I always have and I'm gonna support him on whatever but y'all discord is y'all business because I'm not gonna go against him for you or anyone else " Reya said firmly. "So you don't even wanna help this family come together"Willow said in disbelief, "sweetheart if Morgan doesn't want it I'm not gonna force him to do so that he doesn't because at the end of the day it has to be something he wants''she responds.
" Oh come give me I break you think anyone believes that you hate our family" Michael says, "don't ever talk to her like that ever Mikey. And to the contrary she doesn't hate you and neither do I. We like living our life in peace. Not having your mother thinking she can call the shots I mean you still let her call the shots in your life. Are you not sick of it yet Michael" Morgan says, "Mom doesn't control my life I do as I please. And you don't hate us, prove it why not tell your kids about us, about their family, our family " he says.
When they heard crying making them turn around Reya was the first to move but. Robinson Mariano and brought him to Reya ``little guy sleepy he was falling asleep on the slide Marley startled him is all '' he said. He was her complexion curly hair with light brown eyes,"tienes sueño mi amor ven a mami te tengo" Reya says rocking him "babe you have his bottle it's okay buddy" Morgan said rubbing his head. While Reya looked through the diaper bag "pa que sepas dónde está su chupete porque no estaba en la cartela"she says.
Shaking his head "No it should be in there unless you left it at Krissy's house" he answered. As she looked at him "that would be unfortunate because he likes that one shit imma call her" Reya said. "No, don't worry about it. I'll call her Robbie and take Marley and Dani to the car. I'll meet you guys there. Babe go ahead he needs his nap so he won't be up all night later I'm coming let me handle this' 'Morgan says. Kissing her "okay but don't be too long" she says kissing him back then leaving him with Michael and Willow.
Watching her walk away with Robbie and the kids before turning to them"look I don't wanna fight with you Morgan I'm tired of fighting with you I miss my brother so what do say let's just stop. We can start small. I won't push mom and dad on you but what about just getting Jonah and Marley together? They like each other, " Michael says. Putting his hand out with Morgan looking "Why would I do that have you guys infringe on my peace telling me what you think I should do or how I'm raising them. So tell me why would I want that I don't have anything to prove"he replies making his brother grit his teeth "you said you didn't hate us but you do you could have done it just now.
Everyone was all here, you're stalling" his older brother says" like I said I'll think about it but right now I have to go my wife and kids are waiting for me. And there's a wicked surprise waiting for a six year old girl so I gotta go" Morgan says walking away and leaving Michael frustrated. Willow grabbed his hand"Daddy Marley says I can come to his house to play in the pool. Him and Dani have a big kid slide"Jonah says innocently. Making Michael and Willow look at him then each other feeling hopeful that he could build a relationship with his brother.
Tavares- Ashford house
He and Roman had just finished setting everything up "So how do you feel about Trina being with Robbie and Dani for their tea party?" Roman asked, making his brother shrug. "I don't know what her deal is or if she found self awareness but fuck outta here please me and Dani don't need her pity we good" Les responds. "You don't think she is being genuine about it" he says, Les stopped what he was doing" it's it genuine I don't know loco. But I think it's more curiosity and not knowing more than anything so I don't know what her turn around about face is" he says.
Roman nods his head"this is true manito but I honestly just see where it goes and watch her is all. No lie I think Dani is gonna love this"'he says patting his brother on the back when Elesandro smiled "I'm counting on it bro. She's been saying how much she misses her mom and I think this will help her a lot" he says with a grin. As they both sat down"So what about you where's your head these days I know it couldn't have been easy for you going through all of Kay's videos to do all of this" Roman says.
Les sighs as he ran his hands through his hair as he sat quietly " it wasn't bro I'm not gonna lie Rome her entire life is on this phone everything man all of Dani's milestones, ours too is all here. And it just brings it all back to me getting that call from Miggy and Princess telling me she's gone and that her mom stabbed her when she turned to leave. Roman I couldn't breathe like nada manito that shit hurt crazy thing is me and dad had just got to the church and everything. It felt like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from.
I thought it was bad for me. It was worse when I had to tell Dani. I can honestly tell you after that everything was a blur I don't even know how I'm still standing " Elesandro says, "Because family gotchu manito and how you feel now"his brother asked, shaking his head"I don't just seeing it took me back it's surreal bro" he replies. "I can imagine it would man you found her nudes bro and you had to blow one back that's what took you so long earlier"Roman said laughing and so did Les.
"Your a fucking dick bro" he said laughing as he shook his head as they shared a laugh to lighten the situation. When Les cleared his throat " but I did find a text from Nini on there too but Kay didn't answer and that was the day before she died he said. Catching his brother of guard" oh verdad she texted AJ asking about me too so what she did what she did ya tu sabe tiguere" Roman said with a shrug. "I was just telling you bro to be fair she knows not to approach anyone else her and AJ were cool" Les says just then Dani came in with Robbie behind her.
"PAPI me and Tio Robbie had so much fun and Titi Trina came too then Sky, Joss and Emma Papi you saw the pictures "she says. As she ran to her father "Yes did muñeca you looked very pretty and sophisticated, you looked very pretty too Robbie"Les says laughing. While Robbie gave him the finger behind Dani 's back "K Lo K tiguere" Reya says with a nod, "estoy bien y va a mejorar solo puedes subir desde aquí" he replies. Before turning his attention back to his daughter he put her on his lap then looked at her.
She looked so much like her mother did " baby I got you something come with papi" Elesandro say. "YOU GOT ME A PRESENT WHAT KIND OF PRESENT" Dani said with a big smile. He shook his head then took her hand and led her into the sitting room" Uhmmm the bestest of the best present" replied. "Is it Princess Tiana doll" she questioned, "better then princess Tiana" he says picking her up. Then covering her eyes as Starr opened the door for him "nothing better than Princess Tiana papi" the little girl says.
Making everyone all laugh a little when he removed his hand "I want you to pick up each bear and hug it" Les says then putting her down. As she looked in amazement at the roll of teddy bears that sat there not knowing everyone else was tapping it. She ran down picking up a teddy bear that had on a soccer jersey "Papi this is like my jersey and my number" Dani says. Squeezing the bear excitedly that's when she heard it "GO BABY GO THAT'S RIGHT DIVA GET IT" it said. That's when the tears started to stream down her face "MOMMY" she says looking up at her father. He shook his head "Yeah baby , mommy when we would go to your soccer games remember.
You don't have to cry princess" Les says shaking his head as she looks at all the other teddy bears. Rushing to hear what the other says she was overwhelmed after listening to all of them. Then going to hug her father "It's okay muñeca baby you like it don't cry you have a bear with a voice of my mommy in it" he says. "I love it papi thank you, thank you I love it" she says hugging him, "awww boogie bear" Starr says as her aunts and uncles came over and hugged her.
