Miami, Florida

Elena came downstairs to find Curtis fast asleep on the couch with Pax asleep on her chest she wanted to try to resist the urge of being a chick. But she couldn't it was just to cute not to have a picture of it grabbing her phone really quick and took a picture. Then slipped it into her pocket and walked over picking up Pax as he snuggled up into her chest. The swelling had went down alot she was able to hold her son when it was dark.

She hated hiding from him but she didn't want him to be afraid of her and set back all his progress he had made. Since his parents were killed he was found with their bodies she still remembered that day. Talking to Josh as he left work that day he was going to meet up with a supposed friend that just got out of jail.

He brought the guy home to stay with him and the guy turned on him having someone break into his house. Beating Magalys and robbing them and leaving her there while Paxon sat there in her blood crying until his father came home. And when he did he was shot outside the house before getting to his son she loved them Josh was like a son to her. She did everything in her power to save but couldn't but she promised him she would protect his son.

Her father had took Josh under his wing after he tried to carjack Elena but she knocked him on his ass and taught him how to be a man and take care of his family. In that he turned his life around he got his ecurity license and was working for her at the clinic. And Magalys was working and going to nursing school and Pax was able to go to the clinic daycare laying him in his bed.

Taking a deep breath running her hands through his hair" i promise you my sweet boy your life will be really good from this moment on. Your life will be filled with happiness and love" Elle said kissing the side of his face the getting up and leaving the room.

Going back downstairs he looked so rest shaking away the thoughts tapping him on his leg. "Hey you have to get up" she says making him jump up feeling his chest"Where's Pax" Curtis said.

Wiping his eyes"Geeze your alot more jumpy then i am i put him in his bed Curtis it's late now i didn't mind the help. But i'm back on my feet you can go back to your life i appreciate you looking out for us but you have a life my friend" she says sitting down on the couch. The first thing he noticed was the oversized University of Miami sweat shirt and sweat pants.

She was hiding herself she's been doing that and that was the last thing he wanted her to do and he wasn't going to let her either. "Elena i am where i want to be here with you and Pax" he says, well you don't have to i am relinquishing you of your duties. I don't look like Quasimodo anymore so you don't have to worry i'm sure your wife misses you. And you should be with her me and Pax will be fine i'm going to go to my families house.

Where i can get all the help i need so you don't need to be here coddling me i'm a big girl"Elle said trying to smile. "You don't look like Quasimodo i think your a beautiful woman Elle and why should you change his routine. Let him stay in his home where he's comfortable now i said it before i'm not going anywhere Elle" Curtis says.

Crossing her arms pulling her body closer "what's really going on because I feel like your hiding here so be honest we never lied to each other before so don't start now" she replies.

Shaking his head "We we're lying to each other before Elena pretending we we're friends especially with the way we feel about each other. You don't feel that way about friends from the moment i met you i had this strong pull to you. And i know you felt it too it was in your eyes and it still is and i left that night not telling you what i really wanted" he says getting up and pacing.

"This was my fault had i stayed like i wanted to none of this would have happened and you wouldn't be hiding from your son so he wouldn't your bruises. YOU WOULD BE SAFE IN MY ARMS AND YOUR PULLING AWAY FROM ME AND I FEEL IT ELENA. I CAN'T TAKE THAT I DON'T WANT THAT YOU WERE RIGHT. ALL OF YOU WERE RIGHT SHE HURT ME JUST LIKE SHE DID TOMMY AND I JUST ALIVE TO FEEL IT" Curtis says seeing the tears in her eyes.

"Curtis your married hurt and your looking for a way to numb the pain and no matter how you feel you loved her. And we wouldn't wind up regretting whatever we did because it's not what you really want.

I'm not that woman Curtis AND YOUR RIGHT OKAY I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LET YOU STAY BUT IT' DOESN'T MATTER. BECAUSE I CAN'T GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT I'M BROKEN AND I'M PROBABLY NEVER GOING TO BE UNBROKEN. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT THIS PIECES BACK TOGETHER CURTIS I DON'T I AM NO GOOD TO YOU AT ALL"Elle says.

As the tears streamed down her face it broke is heart that she felt that way wanting to reach for her but pulled back. The tears starting to form in his eyes as well stretching his hand out"when I look at you I don't see broken I see a remarkably strong woman and we do it together and you have given me the one thing i never thought i wanted. That's a family with me you and Pax YOU GUYS ARE MY FAMILY" he says as she put her hand in his.

Neither knew Emelda was standing listening to their conversation taking her phone out and sending a text message to someone then leaving. Shaking his head"Then let me be here" he says trying to wipe her tears away feeling her tense up.

As he pulled the hoodie off her head" you are still beautiful to me Elena Tavares and I Am going to be here every step of the way don't cover up that beauty by hiding yourself" Curtis says. Sighing" Curtis you need to figure out if this is what you really want and give me sometime to get my feet on ground" she says.

" I can do that but I'm not leaving you I can't and I'm not just talk but you're right to figure my stuff out. But I will go to either Sam or Drew's or i will stay in your guest bedroom but right now i want you to feel safe in your own home. So i will hold your hand and we will sit here in completely silence or we can watch the Avengers endgame if you want" he says with a smile.

She couldn't help but smirk "no you have to go home Curtis I don't want to depend on you then you go back to your family and have to do this myself no hear me out. Your going to see her and the feelings for her will come back and that leaves me and Pax out in the cold so you have to go figure out if this is what you want " Elle says.

Stopping her "listen to me its over she has pushed me to my breaking points she has done things that made me understand why my brother did what he did. Because he was hurt and blindsided by her betrayal I choose not to see it her erratic behavior her dismissing my what I brought to the table she was fine.

When it was things she agreed with the moment she didn't she was just out of control and instead of seeing the truth I decided to bury my feelings for you. And me wanting a family of my own and she didn't even want to consider it like it was the worse thing to want she told her sisters she didn't see me as the father type.

Look I will give you time and maybe a little space but I know what I want so stop trying to push me away" he finishes.

Kelly's Diner

"Hey what can I get you today" Shawn asked, umm caramel latte and a coffee black either creamer 3 sugars" she says. As he watched her he hadn't seen her around before"sure thing coming up" he say with a smile when she winked at him before looking down at her phone.

" Sorry I've never seen you around here before are you new here" he asked,she shook her head" no I'm just passing through" Ramona replies. "Right cool where from I'm Shawn by the way" he says stretching his hand out.

"I'm Mona here and there she responds shaking his hand, he smiles nice to meet you Mona" he says when she smirks. "Like wise Shawn" she said. Just as her phone went off reading her text message trying to keep her face neutral as she looked up at him then making her move. While Lana came out the bathroom she winked at her friend and sat down going through her phone.

Just then Kristina came in that's when she saw her"Lana what are you doing here I heard about what happened to Elle. I'm sorry I called her she said she was fine and that not worry but how is she for real" she says. Lana smiled" She's Elle you know my sister is always going to say that even if she's not" she said when her phone went off.

Looking it over her eyes grew darker before sending it to someone else" is everything okay" Krissy asked, yes peachy" she answers before smiling. "Anyway how are you what are we doing what's new with you"she responded, nothing much i just finished my first semester in school" she answered.

With a nod of her head" what are you going for again I can't remember"Svetlana says, um I want to do social work helping young people" she said with a smile. " Oh yeah that's right have you given anymore thought to what I asked its empowering the retreat"she asked.

Watching Mona go to the back with Shawn following which made her smile" yes and no I've gone back and forth with it but if it's empowering I'm all for it. Because I need that you know" Krissy says, when Michael walks in" Hey Krissy you heard what happened to dad" he said stopping to hug her.

Just as he saw the woman and he smiled smiling back"No is everything alright" she replies, no but can I talk to you in private. It's some personal family stuff I'm sorry for interrupting" he says, no worries at all" Lana said. As Jordan walked in only making her smile wider as she watched her look around.

Knowing just who she was looking for sending a quick text she sat down ready to watch the fireworks. Jordan sat for a while waiting before getting up and looking for him" Hey is Shawn around" she asked. " Umm yeah he just went on break n it to long ago he's probably inn the office" the girl said. " Thanks can I go back and talk to him" she said as the girl shrugged yes.

As Jordan walked to the back meanwhile as he followed her back it went from ten to hundred really quick. Before he was making out with her picking her and sitting her on the desk. Opening her jacket pulling her closer as she reached for his belt buckle. Gripping his already hard shaft as he hissed pulling back"umm are you sure" Shawn says, are you sure because I think the other you really wants to.

Or are you in a relationship" Mona said, as he thought momentarily"No, No I'm not" he said reaching into his jacket pocket and getting a condom. " I have to warn you it's been a long time" Shawn says rushing to get it on. As she stroked him back and forth as he went and pulled her jeans down then slipping inside her filling her up.

Both gasping as he cursed under his breath before he started to move first as she gripped his back. "Ohh gawddd yes,yes"she chanted as he gripped her waist trying to keep a steady past. When she bit his bottom lip softly" go faster please" Ramona says as she got a peek of the message on her watch.

Which made her smile before he was pounding into her with such force the desk started to move. Using his tongue to drown out her cries of passion when she started to tighten around him. Using her legs to wrap around his waist as the desk scraped against the floor.

When pulled away because the both needed air"FUCK, Fuck fuck oh gawddd I'm about to ahhh" she said as they climaxed together. With him spilling out of the condoms he groaned still moving inside her slowly" Hey Shawn I..." was all Jordan could get out as she stared.

"Jordan what are you doing here" Shawn says trying to cover the woman up, "I...I...I gotta go th is was a mistake" Jordan said leaving. As Mona laid back on the desk as he pulled out"umm I think we have a problem" he says. Jordan rushes out feeling more embarrassed and hurt more then anything all the while Lana watched laughing.

A few minutes later Mona came out putting her money on the counter and grabbed the two cups of coffee and left. When Shawn finally emerged from the back" Hey did you see where Jordan went" he asked. As the girl shook her head still laughing as they got into the car" how was it" Svetlana said.

Ramona chuckled" think I'm going to keep him for myself just so she can't have him now let's get back to work"she says. " You sure you still got enough rage" Lana asked with a grin, tu sabe mami how was her face though" Mona laughed. "Priceless!" She answered then laughing even harder making them both laugh.

PCPD

Rushing in to get to her office she wanted to scream when Harrison stopped her," Commissioner we have a Problem the prisoner Carlos Cruz that we arrested earlier. For taking a shot at Sonny Corinthos well he broke out or someone let him out. Because he walked right out and nobody was none the wiser" the young detective says.

" How is that Detective Chase did you check the security footage" Jordan asked jumping right into work mode. " Yes as you can see it's extra busy in here the surveillance was down the whole system was down all of five minutes. Before it came back up again" he answers, " What!who do we have looking for him" she says.

"Everyone but chances are it's looking like Corinthos set this up to get the guy himself Detective Falconeri went to confront his father himself" Harrison says.

"you think so because i think im going to walk out of here without a scratch on me" he replies the other man shook his head "yup you're crazy "he says.

As Carlos laid back on the bed and started singing when another cop came in "Holden you're free to go and you shut up i will be back for you in a second " he says. " sure officer I'll wait" Carlos says as they left not soon after someone came in"Hi mijo what took you so long just open it and walk away" he says, as Koiji patted him on the shoulder.

"Carlito esta bien manito" he said, as Cruz looks around then opened the cell. As his father and Koji left both having on cop uniforms as the chaos ensued around them leaving the precinct and getting into the truck and driving away slowly as Carlos laughed.

When the cop came back he cursed under his breath "WE HAVE A PRISONER MISSING!" He says sending Sonny a text as he went to look for this missing prisoner. Cruz stood on the docks" you did good Carlito the family thanks you" she says watching her baby brother as she hugged him. "Dime qué está pasando por qué papi le disparó a Sonny" he asked, well he hit us so we hit him back" she says with a shrug.

"What does that mean what are you guys planning and do i have to worry" Cruz says, te preocupas mucho manito tómalo con calma muchacho" Lucia says. As she turned to walk away "Lucia necesito una respuesta ( Lucia i need a answers) he says, "Cuideste lindo yo te amo" she replied with that she walked away. Taking a deep breath and shook his head "Sergenant Rodriguez what are you doing down here" Dante asked.
