flashback

"Ellis we have to tell her before he does and swings it Amy other way" Ebony says. As Koiji sat at the table next to theirs in a other wise empty restaurant. When he turned to them "remember I have a taste for blood I have no problem hurting either of you. For what you did to my cousin Titi Carmen was a great woman and our family would have loved your.

Still do so just know we have tabs on your other kids so one mishap I will make sure he disappears and JT won't know a thing"he says. Pointing at Ellis with a glare Just then Nicolette came in as Koiji looked at her in disbelief with how much she looked like Letty. " Mom, Dad what are you doing here you said it was urgent what's wrong" Nicky says notice how tense they were.

Ebony put on a brave smile " nothing we just need to talk to you it's important" she says. Staring at her daughter who had long silky black hair and blue eyes like her father. With her medium brown skin color" what's wrong is everyone okay" the young woman asked.

As Ebony took her hand her dad had been silent the whole time" your father and I have to tell you something that you are not going to like. But we did what we thought was in your best interest just know that we love you and you and your brother and sister. Mean guys mean everything to us so with that being said we haven't been hundred percent honest with you.

The reason we didn't want you to internship at Sterling,Clark and associates is because" Ebony says looking at her husband. Who had tears in his eyes he held her hand"Mom, Dad what's going on" Nicky says looking between them. Coughing nervously" We didn't want you to find out that you weren't biologically my daughter" Ellis said finishing what his wife was going to say.

" I don't, I don't understand what do you mean" she says looking between her parents world spinning. Taking a deep breath" you would be able to tell that Ellis wasn't your father he was. And we didn't want that you father was ruthless and entitled and lived a fast life and we didn't want that for so I didn't tell him I was pregnant" her mother said.

Talking in circles trying to avoid telling her the whole story as Nicky sat confused"what are you guys trying to say just tell me and stop going in circles"she says. Tears streaming down her faces grabbing her daughters hand" JT Sterling is your biological father not Ellis we were only doing what was best for you"Ebony said.

When Nicky pulled her hands back it stung" Wait is that why you didn't want me to internship there so all the times I asked how come I didn't look like you guys. How I had blue eyes you lied and dad you said I looked like your grandmother but that was a lie"Nicky says. Trying to fight back the tears" Yes but your mother and myself" was all he got out when she cut him off.

With tears streaming down her face" I always wondered why I look so different why every time I asked you guys always looked so. Tense when I did ask questions because you didn't have any of the answers. Why tell me now huh why now after almost 21 years" she says hotly.

"Because I found out recently that you're grandmother Mrs. Sterling died and I felt bad that you never got to know her. She was a really good woman your biological father on the other hand he hung around with unsavory people. And he had a really bad temper and I didn't want that influence around you" Ebony said.

As Nicky looked at her incredulously" HE'S A LAWYER MOM! DAD HAS A TEMPER TOO SO WHAT'S THE REAL REASON BECAUSE THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE REASON"she says. "Baby he's just not a nice man and you were better of without him like I said"her mother says.

"Yeah,Yeah unsavory people right there always going to be unsavory people around lawyers. Kayla and Brittany met him they both said he was cool and down to earth and he encouraged them to work hard. They met him homecoming week when he came to Professor Owen's class I was late that day.

Why would you lie to me you always taught me to be honest and upfront to never lie to the people you care about. Honesty is always the best policy all the while lying to me how could you do that. I can't be here I trusted you I believed you I knew you would be honest but I was wrong.

And I don't know I just don't know how to feel about you guys right now and none of this still doesn't make any sense. Because I know it's still not the whole story as to why you kept me away from my father. Why feel bad about it now after twenty years Why mom" shaking her head as she walked away.

When they looked around they saw a couple more people come into the restaurant unbeknownst to her or Ellis they all had eyes on them. Getting up and going after her"baby we have to talk this out" Ebony says seeing the evident hurt in her daughter. Who stopped" your still lying to tell me the truth" Nicky said with her back turned.

"He's a bad man Nicolette I saw him selling test and the part know he played a part in what happened to Ty he could be dangerous. And your mom and myself didn't want that for you Nicky you have to understand your an adult so we are going to treat you like one. Have you ever wanted for anything you don't need him nothing changes" Ellis says. When she turned to face her parents with tears in her eyes" But it does it change everything it changes who i thought you were" she said leaving.

As Ebony turned to her husband and cried Koiji and Chuckie Jr both rolled their eyes" this hurt you feel is your fault you know you talk about honesty and truth. But did you ever ask yourself if your supposed friend lied to you, he said pointing to Ellis. What I do know is JT never lied to you when he said he wasn't stealing test because he wasn't. That i know for fact because i know who was but that is neither here nor there because you were willing to ruin his life and future.

Over something that wasn't even true so by my standards you never deserved him he loved you because you were honest. But you never asked him the right question" Chuckie said as Koiji smirked" don't try anything stupid" Koiji says as they left

It had been two days since she heard from her daughter she tried going to the house they rented for her and her friends but she didn't want to speak to them. "Nick what are you thinking your supposed to be having fun and your not why don't you just go talk to him i heard he's in the office today. I took the liberty of calling my one of my sors that work there so now is your chance to get the whole story" Brittany said.

"yeah you should definitely go it's better then sulking your birthday week and i heard his family is loaded they dubbed him the princes of Miami. And i agree with Brit if you can't get the whole story go straight to the other source"Kayla says. As Nicky shook her head before sighing "Fine then i'm going to the source" she said grabbing the car keys. The girls looked at each other then ran after "Look Nic we are coming with you" they said getting in the car.

While she drive Kayla did a web search"Well your bio daddy is a Zaddy he's been married for 15 years you his wife is pretty but i will so be his side piece. Anyway you have two younger sisters to" she says as Brittany and Nicky shook her head"I know Kayla i looked it up when my parents told me. And please don't say that again" she replied, rolling her eyes"What your daddy is fine Nicky" she replied.

As they pulled up in front of the law firm parking the car the making the way into the building signing in and getting on the elevator."You know you guys don't have to do this" she says, we're best friends"we are here for moral support" Brittany says. When the elevator beeped making there way out she bumped right into an older woman. Looking at her she knew who she was the woman smirked" it took you long enough he's in his office straight down the hall" Letty said walking away.

Turning to her friends"Damn she looks just like you just with alot like you just with Auburn color hair which is dope" Kayla said Nicky was stumped. She couldn't believe it someone that she looked like her and it hurt just a little at the same time. "Go we will wait right here for you"Brittany said encouragingly as Nicky made small tentative steps to the door. Before she was standing in front of the door she could tell the lights were dim pushing the door open slowly.

His back was turned looking out the big bay window that showed the Miami Skyline"I was beginning to think you wouldn't come" JT says with his drink in his hand.

Port Charles

"Uncle Curtis" Danny says running up to him and give him a high five. As Curtis smiled hugging Sam and kissing Scout of the forehead and giving Drew a dap" Welcome to our home away from home Elle is in the back by the lake and the pool.

But I know she better not be on my grill we had a deal that she would cook I would grill" Curtis said. Welcoming them into the house Sam made a face as Drew scratched his head trying not to laugh. He looked at them " she totally got me didn't she" he says, as Sam begins to laugh" there is nothing more attractive then meat over an open flame"she says.

Making Curtis shake his head as they came inside"DANNY, COUT" Pax says running to them. It made Sam smile she was happy that she got to hear him speak it was a thing of beauty especially after months of him not speaking. As Danny looked on just as amazed but hugging the toddler anyway" where's Titi" he asked.

"Right here Sammy Sam, big Drew how you doing my favorite nephew hi little miss Scout" Elle says greeting them. Making Curtis look at her suspiciously"you touch my steak"Curtis asked. As she shook her head"nope but maybe you should check on it though right Pax daddy doesn't know what he's doing" she says.

Making Pax giggle which only made Curtis more suspicious"you do know mean have been cooking meat on open flame for a long time"he says. While Elle played oblivious"I guess I'm only supposed to season it but I can't so I'm mi amor" she replied. Shaking his head as he went to check on his steak looking at Sam and Drew and shrugged.

They all laughed going inside the house"We did let your family know that you guys were here so they are coming by. You guys have your own room so does Danny you can put Scout and Pax in the same room only because its massive" Elle says. Drew lead the kids to find Curtis leaving Sam and Elle alone to talk"So mami told me what happen on the Isle. Sammy I don't want him to ever feel like that" she says.

Hugging her friend"Neither do i but i need you to talk to him and i need you to talk me because i have been where you are Elle. With Franco and i know the not knowing i know what the unknown is but you know what happen. But your mind is going in a thousand different direction and so please talk to me i know you talk to Mona and you float around what you really feel.

Elle jus because your you doesn't mean you can't be a victim and i'm sorry that you were in the situation in the first place" Sam says stopping them. Taking her friends hand Elle bit her lip to stop from crying "I SHOULD HAVE SAM AND MY MIND CAN'T HELP BUT TO WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN IF YOUR KIDS WHERE REALLY THERE. AND SOMETHING HAPPEN TO THEM SAM I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FORGIVE MYSELF IF IT HAD.

THAT MEANS I WOULD HAVE FAILED YOU, THEM, JOSH AND MAGALYS BECAUSE YOU TRUSTED ME WITH YOUR KIDS AND I COULDN'T PROTECT THEM. MUCH LESS MYSELF AND I FEEL SO OUTSIDE MYSELF BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP IT SAM IT'S WHY I LOST THEM. THEY SHOULD BE HERE I LOST THEM AND YOU COULD HAVE LOST YOUR CHILDREN.

I CAN'T GET PAST THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHEN HAVE I EVER NOT CAME THROUGH FOR YOU SAM IT KILLS ME!"Elle says. "I guess the cat's out the bag"Ramona says from behind them looking at her friends as the looked at her. "You knew this Elle you have never failed me, and you didn't fail Josh or Magalys Pax is thriving because of you.

He is Talking because of you Elena and that's because of you , how do you think i feel i was right next door and i wasn't there for you and i should have. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IT I SHOULD HAVE NOTICE SOMETHING AND NOW YOU AND DANNY ARE PAYING THE PRICE. WHEN HAVE I NOT LEAD YOUR LIFE INTO CHAOS FOR MY BAD CHOICE YOU CAN'T EVEN BE WITH THE MAN YOU LOVE BECAUSE OF ME THIS WAS MY FAULT I DID THIS.

NOW I HAVE TO END THIS THIS HAS TO END"Sam says with tears in her eyes, taking a deep breath"ENOUGH it's not either of yours fault none of you okay and Nena i can't stress to you enough. You are not superwoman Josh was trying to do for someone else he loved that you did for him and it cost him. It was a major lost but he loved you and he entrusted you with something that meant the world to him and you took it on.

With no hesitation whatsoever no so don't ever second guess your heart you may be bitchy but you have more heart and strength then anyone i know. Sammy you never brought anyone chaos we took it because we loved you because your fight was our fight. We never faulted you Sam we wanted you to feel loved and worth whatever was thrown at you. Because that is what family does Sam they have your back when no one else does an that is what we are.

Blood doesn't make us family Sam it never did you always try to make yourself the outcast but you weren't Sam we loved you then and we love you now. We didn't just put up with you because we were told to no matter what bullshit Cody lame ass told you. Samantha Jay McCall we wanted you there DO YOU HEAR ME WE WANTED YOU THERE"Ramona says pulling her friends closer to her.

And embracing them"let all this pain go beauties it will only take away from the love you two have to give" she says kissing the both of them. On the forehead as they wiped their tears away"We really have to stop doing this weepy shit is killing me"Elena said laughing. As Sam smiled wiping her friend tear stained face" we should get it together before we go inside" she says.

"I will talk to Danny for you i don't want this to impact him anymore then it has"her friend replies. Unbeknownst to them Alexis stood there watching them she always questioned why Sam left. These people were willing to do anything go through anything for her now she understood what else did this man do to her child.

When she looked back she saw Julian who seemed just as shocked it was apparent that they both needed to start asking alot more questions.

Somewhere in Port Charles

She went back and forth with doing this but if this was how she was going to play things. Then she will play it the same way taking a deep breath then picking up the phone listening to it ringing. "Hi Mrs. Nguyen I'm calling you because I have to speak to you about your grandson. Do you have time to talk it's imperative that we do so yes I think he is yes we can talk now" she says.
