Two months had gone by since I left and I hadn't heard one thing from Criss not even a letter. Inside I was helping my uncle with some pastries when I started to feel tired. "You all right Antonia?" he asked. "Yea I'm just tired"I remarked rubbing my eyes. "Why don't you get some air"he suggested. I went outside as my grandmother walked in. "Where's Antonia her father needs her"she said. "She's outside getting some air I think there's something wrong with her she looks awful and she's like erxhausted all the time. I think her father is running her hard Dennis needs to lay off her"my uncle expressed. My grandmother walked outside to see me just standing there. "Antonia" she said. I turned around and looked at her. "Your uncle is telling me you're under the weather" she said. "It's nothing grandmom just working hard"I remarked. My grandmother moved a piece of my hair away from my eyes. "Honey you know you can tell me anything no matter what your father has done or will do"she stated. "I'm pregnant"I replied with tears falling down my face. "Than why do you look so unhappy?"she asked.

"Dad wants me to give up the baby when he or she is born and I don't want to but he swear he'll kick me out and make sure nobody helps me with the baby"I replied . My grandmother looked ready to kill my father. "Does the father know?" she asked. "A few days ago I found out Criss was in town so I decided to go talk to him but when I saw him he was with another woman they were even looking at rings at Tiffany's. I just left before he saw me" as I wiped the tears away. My grandmother gave me a hug as I cried. "Honey I think you need to tell Christopher about this baby. Even thou he's with someone else he needs to step up"my grandmother suggested. "Thanks grandmom" and went back. When I got home I wrote Criss a letter and sent it. When it arrived thou JD or Costa took it and hid it from Criss. After not hearing from Criss for a few months I decided to talk to his mom. At a cafe I was having a drink when Dimitra and my grandmother came over. "Antonia how nice to see you again" she remarked. "Hi Dimitra I'm glad you came"I stated as they sat down. "Your grandmother sayes it's about Christopher. Did he do something to you" she asked.

"No it's not like that Dimitra I found out five months ago I'm pregnant and it's Criss's" I remarked. "Does Christopher know?" she asked surprised to be hearing this from me not Christopher. "I've written to him but I've gotten no replies but I thought someone in his family should know considering-". "Considering what?" she asked. "Her father is making her give the baby up for adoption" my grandmother stated. "I just don't get it why he hasn't sent me a letter back or called me about the baby" as tears fell down my face. "If you want to Antonia I'll find out why Christopher hasn't responded" Dimitra suggested. "Dimitra you don't have to do it I guess Christopher isn't ready to be a father but I'll still put his name on the birth certificate" I replied wiping the tears away. "Why don't I get you home before you father has a nutty"my grandmother suggested. We all got up and Dimitra just stood there in shock as we walked off.
