Life had fell into a calm which made everyone uncomfortable, Miles was still getting use too having two dads. The last couple of months had taken a toll on everyone they were all just getting their footing.

Flashback

Hey, Miles, come here for a minute remember when we said that Jaime he knew your momma Oliver said. "Yeah I remember why" ok do you remember when we found out the mean man who hurt your mom wasn't your dad Sam asked.

You never said how he knew my mom Miles said, well he was very special to your momma and you Sam said with tears in her eyes. As Oliver tried to keep his cool "what's wrong" he asked afraid the other shoe would finally have dropped.

Well Jaime buddy umm he is your daddy and Tinsley are your little sister Oliver said. The boy eyes start to tear, and lips quiver your giving me away I don't want anew family. As Sam sat crying Oliver start to tear not knowing what to say, baby I would never give you up Sam said.

In that moment Jaime knew he couldn't just take him these people loved, he spoke I'm not trying to take you I just want you back in my life. Miles, I have missed you so much and I thought about you and your mom everyday Jaime said with tears in his eyes.

He took out a picture of the four of them, that's me, your mom, you and Tinsley. Why did you leave me and momma the boy asked angrily, I'm going to shoot it to you straight Jaime said?

When you were conceived your mother and I ran away so we could be together because her parents didn't agree. My grandma helped us run away she continued to help as we had you and your sister.

And I would sneak down there to see her I would alternate in taking you and your sister. But when you were almost 4 my grandma got sick and you weren't feeling to good, so I took Tinsley.

I dropped your sister off at my brother's house then I went to see my grandma. Somebody told on me and your granddaddy had me arrested for endangering the welfare of a child and other charges.

See Miles when your momma and I left she wasn't 18 yet, but he said he would drop the charges if I told him where your momma was. I knew he would hurt her and y'all if I told so I refused which made him had. So, he had me thrown in jail tried and sent to prison, he claims I killed your mother is why I wouldn't tell where she was.

But when she called and spoke to her momma that dropped that charge and he was angry, so he kept the other charges and I went to jail. "Why" would he do that this isn't the old days Miles said which made Sam and Oliver smile.

Well he is a mean old cuss Miles and were me and your mother come from her and I was shunned still in this day and age Jaime said. And they just believed him Miles, yeah, he is the sheriff down their Miles.

He is a tool the boy said changing his words both Sam and Olive looked at him. But umm the boy asked nervously to do I have to leave to go with you, Jaime looked no I think we can share you right he said.

Looking at Sam and Oliver who seemed relieved, Miles smiled really the boy said. "Yeah" it will just be more people to love you is all Jaime said, can I go now Miles asked. they all said sure as he ran off. What made you change your mind Sam asked, 'you' the hurt in your face when he started to cry.

I can't be another person to hurt him as much as I want my son, I have too think about him I can't be selfish. And I can see y'all love him just as much I do and getting to know you guys and just hearing how y'all lost kids.

I couldn't in good consciences add him to the list of hurt because I know what it is to miss him he would hate me for taking him. Y'all have done so much for me your mother got my case and my record expunged.

She got the civil suite thrown out and me and my daughter have been places we never would have Jaime says. I just have to see what's going on with the sell of my house and I will get me a little place and we all will share custody of Miles he says.

Thank you so much Sam said over come with emotion hugging Jaime as he hugged her back. What out don't get a hugged get off my girl James Oliver said jokingly.

As Jaime went hug him Oliver pushed him away "dude I was joking" I will hug her instead Oliver said hugging Sam as they laughed.

Sam had falling asleep on the couch while Oliver took the kids to get the final touches for there customs. And that is where he found her asleep on the couch as he looked at his daughter.

Whose was wide awake looking at him hola Esme Como estas mi nina he said with a smile. You may have my eyes and my perfect tan, but you look just like your mommy.

I have so much planned for you my girls will know how much I love them. Rule number 1 let a man work for your attention because you are worth more then gold he said as he kissed her.

You have so many women you will learn from like take from your sister her boldness and not afraid to stand up for herself. From your mommy take her heart and strength, and your Titi Ellie and Molly their intelligence.

Because it is endless and your grandma her sharpness and conviction and she have a knack for pissing people off. But that is ok because my mom who you are named after was the same way. She was small, but she had a hell of a bite, men 3 times her size where afraid of her.

My mom was stern but always loving, and she would love you so much Nena. Oh yeah rule number 2 never given in to easy give them hell your sister has that down to an art form. "Isn't it a little early for rules on dating Sam said as he turned around and smiled.

Its never to early Oliver said with a smile can you believe it Sam said looking at their daughter. "No "she is perfect isn't she he said staring at her that she is Sam says right Esme.

He pulled Sam closer to him with Esme in his arms this is all that matters you me and our motely crue of kids Oliver says. Where are the kids Sam asked, they are by Jaime's helping fix it up? Ahh I'm happy he finally took me up on my offer to take my penthouse.

I'm happy that Miles is finally coming around I know he felt we were going to give him back. And you have been great with him Sam said looking up at him, he is our boy Sam him being happy is all that matters.

And in other news your cousin is dating my cousin which is weird because prince Nikolas is far from her type, but he has infinite charm Oliver says. Sam just looked and rolled her eyes "come on Sammy cousin has a type and its tall dark and Chocolate Oliver replies.

Seriously there was Kevin, Rashad, JoJo, Curtis and Terrance her husband father of her child. Oh, and then there was A-Rob he chuckles the one my uncle shot at and I had to arrest him Oliver said laughing.

As Sam laughs I remember that the want to be gangster who thought it was wise to mouth off to your uncle she says. That was hilarious I remember the look on his face when Eddie shot at him Sam says laughing hysterically. Yes, yes it was but the look on my uncle's face had to be the best Oliver said laughing.

Do you miss it Sam asked, being a cop, he replied as she took Esme to feed her? He ran his hand over his face thinking about it "NO" I'm not that kid anymore who is naïve enough to think he can change the world.

I looked up to that kid Sam said I still remember what you said to me when Cody left. You said this is your life Sammy live it how you want it was that day we found shep she said.

And deep down your still that kid Olly but you just want to change the world for your family she said kissing him. Thanks Sam I am a very lucky man I have everything I could ever dream of.

Then there was an insisted knocking he got up to answer the door. Olly hey Elena said as she came in with a frantic look on her face. Where are we on clearing A. T's name she asked, listen I only care about is Lieutenant General Tolbert.

They sent MPs to his parents' house because some bozo sent his mother a congratulation on the new grandchild she says. As Sam put Esme in her bassinet what happen Sam asked, where is Andrely Oliver asked he is Tio.

"What happened" Sam asked again, as Elena sighed remember last year when you called. And I said I would be stateside and I had good news, but I would come to you if you needed m yeah well shortly after it went bad.

Ok as you know I met Andre overseas while I did doctors without borders mostly in war torn countries. Well he asks me to marry him I accepted , But one of his commanding officers were stealing hi-tech weapons and reselling it on the black market.

And Andre inadvertent came across when his count was wrong and one of the other guy in his unit said it wasn't the first time. So, he investigated in quietly, but he got more than he bargained for.

I don't know how anyone found out, but they did and the whole was pinned on him, he was arrested, but was broken out in transport. They came for me questioning me if I knew what he was into I played stupid.

Just to see if he was dumb enough to insult my intelligence he was so he hid. I got K.k. to follow the money to someone here which is Jerry Jacks

An attempt was made on my life its why I left the middle east, but the problem is they are probably on the way to my house. Since I found out I left the hospital and have been out off the grid Elena says.

Why didn't you tell me Elena Sam asked, Sammy you were going through your own stuff and if things got bad. Then it was just me that would get in trouble or hurt I would be able to live with myself if something happens to you or those kids Sam.

You sacrificed for me I wasn't going to do that again I barely made it the first time Elena says. That's why you froze in the warehouse that night with Dermott isn't Sam says. Elena sighed and plopped down on the couch with tears in her eyes.

Oliver sat down taking Sam's hand and his sisters knowing what Elena said next would hurt. Her voice quiver as the tears slid down her face after what happen to you that night with Liam. While you were in a coma I was the only coherent and alive that knew what happened to you.

I blamed myself like I didn't do enough to make you believe you were my sister and you were family. So, I couldn't fight for you or myself that night and Jeff did to his last breathe.

Anyway, I lived with that replaying in my head I had nightmares because of it. Well one night my parents went to check on you in the clinic and Olly came to check on us.

And me and Emy were sleep and he came in to check on us and woke up and all I saw was a silhouette of a person over my baby sister. And I snapped I picked up the bat and if my parents didn't come in I would have killed my brother.

Because I didn't see Olly all I could see is Liam raping my little sister and mami jumped in and turned on the light. And before I knew it I was curled up in a ball crying tell he that I was a horrible friend even worse I was a coward.

Because I just let you sacrifice for me and I broke that night Sammy, I'm sorry mama I'm so sorry Elena said crying hysterically. As Sam hugged her Elle it's not your fault baby Sam Said crying you could barely stand Ellie and we were kids.

I never blamed you Sam said, you should hate me because I do Elena said through tears. ELENA NICOLE TAVARES, you hear me right now Sam said crying I could never hate the one person who was always my friend she said. Hugging Elena as they both cried Oliver got up taking the both in his arms.

Listen the both of you were kids put into a situation that neither of you were mentally prepared for. I want y'all to know it over ok its over looking down at his sister wiping her tears away.

Elena don't carry anymore ok alright let go baby, Sammy you don't have to worry about no one ever hurting you kissing the both on top of their head.
