Oliver stood in complete shock he was at a loss for words as Sam moved to find her clothes. Aren't you going to let us in mijo Esmerelda said, ahhh yeah,yeah come in come in Oliver stepping back and letting them in.
Sam hid in the kitchen trying not to panic because at that moment they were caught. Samantha are you going to come out and greet us " ahhh umm yea...yeah" she said coming out the kitchen waving.
Ayy dios mio Esmerelda said with tears in her eyes as she got up and hugged her. Hello bebe I'm your grandma she said in Spanish she said talking to the babies. Ayy they kicking she said squealing in excitement Oliver was still stumped but he was happy it was just them.
"Mira, estoy muy enojado con ustedes dos" because y'all know that y'all could come to us she said. As both Sam and Oliver looked down " We know mami its just if we come to you then you would be obligated to tell Ms. Davis and we didn't want to put you in the middle he said.j
"So are you going to tell her we like it here and we already got th nursery ready for when them come home Sam said pleadingly. Mi amor you can't keep running Esmerelda said wiping the tears that started to form in Sam's eyes. That's when they noticed the engagment ring ahh i see what's going on Manolo said " you guys want to be married before you go back so she can't tear you guys apart" Florio finished.
That's when Sam and Oliver looked at each other then to them both saying yes at the same time. Manolo sighs " Okay listen we won't say nothing for now" just call us after the wedding because we don't want to miss anything more about our grandchildren.
"You don't have too" Sam said getting up and walking to the entertainment center and took out a few video tapes. "We kind of taped everything so you could see it even though you weren't here " Oliver said. Ayy quiero estar enojado pero te amo a los dos don't do that to me again okay you hear me the both of you Esmerelda said.
' Yes' they said in unison with big smiles on their faces , So tell me how did you two did it i have to know Florio said with a grin. First put some pants on your mother is sitting right here and do i want to sit here Manolo said. Umm sit where ever you like Oliver said grabbing his sweat pants and putting them on.
"Samantha let me see that nursery " Esmerelda said, really Sam said excitedly " its so awesome she said leading her upstairs. Oliver looked up and smiled as Manolo stood against the wall papi sit in that chair he said " are you sure you kids are like animals " Manolo answered as Florio laughed.
"Yes its good we just got it today" Oliver replies as Manolo said sitting done geeze papi he said shaking his head. Would yall like a drink or something he asked going to the minibar and pouring his father and uncle a drink and his mother a glass of wine.
Wow Samantha this is nice Esmerelda said looking around as she ran her hand over one of baby blankets. A friend from my GED class her grandmother made that for them " Its pretty " she said opening it up. It has their intials on it " you know what your having" Esmerelda asked in shock. As Sam shook her head yes shush Olly doesn't know and he doesn't want to know.
But i couldn't wait it was killing me not know but i kept it a secret because i don't want to ruin it for him she said with a smile. Well mamacita your secret is safe with me the older woman said pinching her cheeks. You would be pretty surprised just how handy your son is he is the one who did most of the work on this room Sam said.
Sam sat in one of the rocking chairs picking up the winnie the pooh teddy bear rocking back and forth." You know we never planned on running this long but she kept threatening to put Olly in jail and i saw red" She said. Mamacita you never had to fear from us yes i sympathize with her as a mother but my concern are you , my grandchildren and Junior Esmerelda replies.
I love him Mrs. Tavares i couldn't have her take him away from me and them he is my familyshe said wiping her tears away. Listen to me muneca i understand where your coming from and from where your mother is coming from because i have two daughters but i speak to them.
And your going to be a mother soon and you will experience all the highs and lows of what being a mother is she said kneeling in front of Sam just call her mami okay. Tell her you don't want to fight with her you just want to talk Esmerelda said smoothly. Using her thumb to wipe away Sam's tears " but don't tell her we are here i don't think my brother was completely truthful with your aunt" she said with a smile.
"I guess he really is my uncle now huh" Sam says with a grin
" Guess so muneca" Esmerelda answered smiling as well
I knew they would be good for each other the girl replied
' Me too" Esmerelda said
Where are you guys staying Sam asked
Here with you guys we took care of you kids for along time Esmerelda said as Sam got up and hugged her. " Thank you" she said , now let me show you the guest bedroom Sam said leading the way.
Port Charles
Alexis sat staring out on the lake she didn't hear Jax walk up he stopped and stared at her he missed her. Not just their relationship but their friendship she was his bestfriend and he messed up big time. When he approached "Alexis" he called to her breaking her from her thoughts to run rampant.
"Jasper what are you doing here" she asked
" Umm i was comin,g to see you i miss you Alexis i miss us and i know i was an ass but its just i felt like they were taking advantage of you Jax said. You know what i realized that i was so focused on fixing her to what i wanted her to be. That i ignored who she really was and she was trying to show me who she was and who he was and i wouldn't see it Alexis said.
I mean i threaten to take away the one person who was her constant her defender as far back as he could remember she said. They tried to get me to see that but i wouldn't " I JUST KNEW WHAT WAS BEST WITH NO EXPERIENCE WITH A TEENAGER EVER , but the truth is i didn't know a damn thing Alexis finished.
No Alexis stop this! you were learning as you go along but Sam had to try as well and if you are honest with yourself she was looking for a reason to run. It was too hard for her so she pushed she was use to doing whatever she wanted Sam isn't stupid. She knows you care because you showed her what family was you fight with the ones you love and you fight for them Jax finished.
Why do you think she sent you presents, and letters telling you how the babies are doing that is her way to comminicate with you. Do i trust that kid no i don't and maybe i don't know him but come on what does a 21 year old man have in common with a teenage girl huh he continued.
" Jax please I... when he kissed her she held his face and kissed him back he pulled back and stared into her eyes. " Alexis i love you and i miss you i messed up big time please just give me a chance to make it right" he said as he caressed her cheek.
As the tears start to slide down her face " I'm sorry to i was frustrated and i took it out on you" Alexis said. When he kissed her again pulling her in his arms sighing thinking to himself this is where she belonged this was his family.
A few days later Florio returned he entered the house to find Kristina and her family and Jax there in the living room. She got up to hug him and greet him " did you guys find them", he shook his head. No we did not my love and we searched " But they had been there its where the phone was bought and connected it to throw us off.
They said they saw them a few months ago but they haven't been in there in months he said taking his shoes off. Its all mountains up there so my guess is they settled somewhere close to Vermont. Manolo said he will reach out to his friend to triangulate some kind of pattern he finished as he took off his shoes.
Anything here he asked, No we know she calls Nikolas every now and then but nothing else. We told Nikolas to reach out to her see if he gets anything Kristina said, Florio looked up " Alexis i'm sorry i didn't find them"he said. I do know Oliver called my sister last night she did tell her to call you lets hope she got through to her he said.
After everyone strategizing they all left Kristina and Florio drove her to the studio where he sat and waited for her. When Ned walked in " what are you doing here" he said hotly, as he looked at Ned the put the paper down. "Mr. Ashton did i do something to you" Florio said, Ned laughed are you kidding me.
As Florio shrugged " Okay i will bite what's your deal with me because we have met once i haven't had any interaction with so enlighten me" he says. For starters your taking advantage of Kristina what are you like 45 she is 28 years old you have kids almost her age. Taking advantage wow amigo that is a big jump i didn't take advantage of anyone he defended.
What no woman your own age that you can have Ned said, aren't you like 6 years older then her Florio said whatever the point is Kristina is a grown woman who can make up her own mind. Ned got closer to him " i'm not fooled by you i know just how dirty you are and i won't let you take advantage of someone i care about either.
He stood up " look i don't know what your talking about" Florio says
You and your family come to town and you upended her family taking her niece away who they have been looking for in a long time Ned says. " First off my family nor myself have upended anything Mr. Ashton so try again so what is this really about' Florio says.
Ned got in his face your just some creepy old guy who can't cut for woman his own age so he prey on the younger ones he said. Florio laughed " Mr. Ashton you're so transparent that its funny the man says shaking his head.
" Oh really" Ned says pushing Florio
He sighs knocking Ned's hands away " don't be stupid " Florio says trying to deescalate the situation. That is When Ned swung and Florio backed up blocking the hit and catching Ned's fist and pushed him back.
" STOP IT " Kristina said from behind them
That's when both men turned around to face her " Mi amor i tried to calm this guy but he won't listen" Florio says.
" Kristina this old bastard is taking advantage of you" Ned argued
Really Ned i am a grown woman who can take care of my self thank you very much for the concern and i don't not appreciate the name calling yes he is older then me but so were you Ned she says.
