Calisto rushed in banging on the door" Tio, Tio!" The young man said urgently waking his grand aunt and uncle out of their bed but this couldn't wait. " Que Pasa Calisto" Manolo says, "somebody tripped the dummy wire at Elle's house Rossy and Camilla are on the way" he answered.

Watching his uncle's face go cold he knew whoever did this just opened up the gates of hell. That there will be Hell to if anything happened to Elena, "Manolo que Paso" Esmerelda asked coming to the door. "Nothing mi reina go back to bed I have to go handle something I will be back" he replied.

Kissing her on her fore head then going to get changed "Muchacho que paso" she asked, as Calisto looked away " nothing Titi I was just up doing my watch while Tio KK was a sleep you know" he said. As she watched him carefully"well i think I'm going to go now" Calisto says before walking away.

He knew better then to stay because he knew that she would flip and that is when she was most dangerous. Manolo swiftly moved through the closet getting dress praying that his daughter was okay hoping he wasn't lying to his wife.

"Te llamaré si es algo serio te amo" Manolo says kissing his wife on the forehead before going to leave. When she pulled him back"me llamas Manolo nada de esto me protege mierda entendido( You call me Manolo none of this protecting me bullshit understood")she said sternly. He shook his head and kissed her and l left she couldn't help but to feel something was wrong she felt it the pit of her stomach feeling something was about to happen.

Elena's house

Finally able to catch his breath he noticed her on the floor not moving before rushing over" No, No,No, no Elle, Elle, Elena come on breathe for me" Curtis said. As the fear start to set in he checked her pulse it was slow there was so much blood but there so he decided to do mouth to mouth.

To get her air as she started to cough almost jumping"Hey, hey its me it's Curtis baby, it's me" he said holding her in his arms. "I got you okay just breath okay" he says not wanting to let her go, Cu Cu Curtis check on the was all she got out Before blacking out. Just then Ross and his wife rushed in" Nena answer me"he shouted, that's when Camilla spotted them.

Running and sliding to check on her but Curtis wouldn't let go she distracted him long enough for Ross to drag the guy out of the back door. " Hey, Hey Curtis it's me Camilla Rossy wife I need you to let me check on her the police will be here soon. Just then it clicked" oh shit the kids take care of her please I check on the kids" he says.

As she tried to stop him but he got away to quickly checking the rooms Scout and Danny's rooms were empty and he found. Paxon on the floor in Elena's room sucking on his thumb and his stuff paw patrol Zuma in the other hand. Pointing at her bed knowing he was looking for her taking Paxon in his arms arms and rocking him.

When Camilla came" he got away he ran out the back door and into the ocean Ross went after him" she said. " Danny and Scout are gone there had to be someone helping him I have to find them I need you to take Paxon to his grandparents house.

I can't let him see his mother like that please take him I need to tell Elena and it would be better coming from me" Curtis says. I think Pax wants to be with you Curtis you are who he waits for by the door he needs you let me worry about Danny and Scout i will"Camilla says.

Shaking his head" No they are my friends kids who did this to her better yet is you know who did this to her and I will make him pay. Someone broke in here and attacked her oh god he almost" he says with her cutting him off "NO STOP IT CURTIS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN YOU GOT HERE WHY WHERE YOU HERE" she says trying to steer the conversation. Away from Danny and Scout and hoping to could distracted him until she could speak to Elle about telling him.

Ross held his head in his hands as he looked at this girl that was his sister and this mother fucker would have hell to pay when he got to the warehouse. He stood trying to fight back the tears as he tried to stop the bleeding just as the ambulance and the police arrived. With their weapons drawn "This is my sister she's hurt bad me my wife and a family friend came in to this"Ross says keeping his hands up.

As Camilla and Curtis came downstairs with Curtis trying to shelter Paxon but he saw the police and he tried to get out of Curtis arms. Before crying to get his mother"Curtis get him out of here we got her" Camilla said, NO I'M GOING WITH HER" he sternly.

While trying tio calm Pax then giving him to her and going to get into ambulance. "Family only sir and he says he's her brother" the man says to him pointing to Ross who was talking to a cop.

"Look she's my wife okay now LET'S GO!" Curtis said annoyed Ross made a face at his wife and nodded at the EMT worker. As they sped away to get her to the hospital "Curtis i'm okay" a small voice said from behind them. And what he saw rocked he at his core because he couldn't see her beautiful amber colored eyes.

Her face entire face was swollen lip was busted and she was black and blue all over. Not being able to hold back the tears he she reached for his hand and he took hers in his "i'm sorry i should have stayed" he says.

When she used her hands to wipe his tears away"just take care of Pax for me" she says as her voiced faded closing her eyes. Before the machines started blaring the emt jumped into to resuscitate her "Come on move where losing her" he said.

As Curtis's heart sank as the man worked to keep her heart going by the time they got to the hospital. They were rushing her to the emergency room he didn't remember how long he sat there before her family got there.

Her mother and sister went straight to speak to who was doing the surgery her cousin looked at him" Is that Nena's blood" Lucia asked. As he looked up at her broken trying to find the words to speak but couldn't calmly she spoke. Running her hands through her blonde hair"Curtis go clean yourself up before my Titi sees you because she will flip and you don't want that" Lucia spoke.

Mateo her husband helped him up to get cleaned up so Mrs. Tavares wouldn't see him taking the shirt of his back he gave it to Curtis. As Curtis washed his hands continuously but he couldn't get the feel of her blood off his hands.

Before he was racked with sobs as the older man patted him on the back" get it out now because Pax is going to need you" Mateo said. "What about Danny and Scout" Curtis says finally finding his voice "Speak to Elena brother" he replied then leaving.

As Curtis punched the wall cursing to himself he shouldn't have left he should have stayed like he wanted to and then he remembered what bought him here. To Miami this weekend in the first place why he dragged leaving her house he told himself he was done wasting time. But when it came to doing it he chickened out if he had she wouldn't be here and Danny and Scout wouldn't be missing.

Flash back

He had set up dinner at their place he wanted to talk to her when he had heard he come in the apartment. "hey baby i got some blue crab steaming with some salmon cakes cooling with some wild rice. And a nice relaxing bubble bath ready for you go head get cleaned up" Curtis said. After he put the finishing touches on dinner when he felt her arms around him.

"It smells good in here what's going on you have been very attentive what's up" Jordan asked, sitting her down" look sorry if i haven't taking your feelings into account. You are my wife and i'm sorry and i want us to start a family off our own and i am ready for that" he says. As the shock ran through her feeling her stomach drop "baby that's not an option right now with everything that happened.

Wow this smells good i would love to get a taste" she says trying to chang the subject she didn't expect this she never expected him to bring it up. Picking up her glass of wine and taking a big gulp "Yeah it is an option Jordan i spoke to the doctor so what's up' he asked, can we just enjoy this amazing meal you put together it's been a really long day baby" she said eating.

But knowing something was up turning her to face him" Baby talk to me i know what you been through last year with the transplant. Do you not think it could happen for us" Curtis asked, baby i don't want to have this conversation i want to enjoy what you put together" Jordan says. Taking a deep breath "baby i'm sure this is what i want i am all in Jordan" he says, "please just leave this alone Curtis she says.

Only making her feeling worse for keeping this from him"But Shawn knows because why would he be telling me to take it easy with my WIFE. What are you not telling me that your telling him is this what you did to TOMMY" he said, when she grabbed his arm" If he told you that he just meant with what's going on. At the precinct you know with finding out that Peter died in that boat from a few months ago and trying to find who exploded that ship.

It's alot going on" she says, well that's not what it sounded like to me so why don't you tell me what's going on!" he says. "Damn it Curtis i can't have anymore children and your going to have to be okay with that" Jordan said abruptly.

"What how i don't understand the doctor said it was possible" Curtis says shocked feeling bad that he wasn't paying attention. "It doesn't matter'" she says he grabbed her hands "It does Jordan i haven't been there and i'm sorry but there has to be options for us we could adopted i mean Elena did i'm sure it's not that hard" he insist.

Sighing and throwing her head back ' And there it goes Curtis" Jordan said, there what goes i'm just stating that we have options Jordan" he refutes. "Damn it Curtis it's not an option i had my tubes tied to don't want to have anymore children i raised mine" she said. It hit him like a tone of bricks "YOU DID WHAT WITHOUT TALKING ME YOUR HUSBAND" Curtis says, YEAH LIKE YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT BEING SCOUTS STAND IN DADDY" she shot back.

"THAT'S DIFFERENT AND YOU KNOW IT JORDAN WE WEREN'T MARRIED I WAS PUTTING MY FRIENDS MIND AT EASE I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

BEING A MOTHER IN ALL BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG AUNT STELLA WAS RIGHT SO ELENA" he said intentionally. Not being able to hold onto his anger and his hurt " She said that you would hurt me just like you hurt my BROTHER AND LIKE I FOOL I DEFENDED.

Because i loved you but EVERYONE WAS RIGHT HER COUSIN SANTIAGO TOLD ME THAT MY BROTHER WOULDN'T WANT YOU FOR ME HE WAS RIGHT. TOMMY WOULDN'T WANT THIS FOR ME BUT AT LEAST I DIDN'T DIE LIKE HE DID"Curtis said throwing his hands up as he left slamming the door behind him.

Shaking his head as he finished washing his face off then walking back to waiting when he heard it the gut wrenching cries. That only made is his tears come down even more as he watched her mother fall into her father's arms. As he held his wife and youngest daughter in his arms but the look in his eyes were colder then Curtis had ever seen. After calming down Esmerelda turned to find Curtis sitting on the floor in a daze with a far away looking his eyes.

When she got up and walked over kneeling next to him as he looked up at her"I'm sorry it's my fault i shouldn't had left her" Curtis whispered as he looked down. Using her had picking up his chin"Shush mijo i don't blame you Curtis you got there at the moment she needed you. And that's because you love her shushh" Mrs. Tavares says as she shook her head "it's okay" she said.

"Dr. Tavares" a man said from behind them she took his hand and got up pulling him with her ,"Let's go see how our girl is doing" she says. As he nodded his head they both walked over to the doctor"so how is my girl Dr. Warner" Esmerelda said.

After alot of cleaning her up she suffer a major concussion and blunt force trauma to the head and lost of alot of blood. From the gash on the back of her head everything was superficial wounds she is going to be in alot of pain.

But she's going to be okay we gave her a sedative to rest and moved her to a room" he answers. "I want to see her" her mother said, as he shook his head"I don't think that is s good idea Dr. Tavares"Dr. Warner replies. She laughed that sent a small shiver up Curtis back"Marshall i know your not telling me that i can't see my daughter" she says coldly. That terrified the young doctor"No ma'am i just think you should get your rest and i don't want you to see her like that is all" he said.

"Marshall i appreciate your concern but take me to my daughter now" Esmerelda said as Marshall looked to Manolo for support. But the older man shook his head so he took cues from him and lead her to the room. And opened the door she gasped and covered her mouth and held her stomach before turning to her husband with a serious look on her face. That Curtis knew there would be hell to pay for what happen to her daughter.
