Back at office Criss was working with George. "So I heard you went back to New York why didn't you go see Antonia?"he inquired. "I couldn't force myself to go see her believe me I wanted to but I just couldn't" Criss replied. "Dam it Criss can you get me a pen out of JD's desk I always get a pen that dries out"George stated. Criss went into JD's desk and grabbed a pen but he saw something that was addressed to him. "What is it Criss?" George asked as Criss took them out. "They're letters addressed to me but why are they in JD's desk for?" Criss inquired. George got up and saw the return addresses on them. "They're from Antonia"George replied. Criss sat down and opened one of the letters.


Christopher,

Why haven't you answered my letters?? I keep waiting to hear what you think of what I wrote you. You always told me you sometimes wished that you found the right someone to have a family with. It hurts me that you don't even care enough to send me a letter or call me to tell me how you feel about becoming a father (Criss nearly fell out of the chair when he read that part). I've told your mom about the baby she seemed shocked that you never wrote back or told her about the baby. I really want to keep our child but I'm being forced to give him or her up by my father. I won't denine you're this child's father so when it's born your name will be on his birth certificate.

I love you Criss and always will
ANTONIA

"Oh my god!!!"Criss muttered putting down the letter. "What is it Criss?" George inquired. Criss was speechless but also very angry at his brothers for hiding these letters from him. Criss got up, put the letters in his coat and left leaving George in utter confusion Criss went to Serenity and was packing a bag when his phone rang. He looked and saw it was JD but he let go to voice mail. I can't believe they did this. I knew that they didn't like her but why hide these letters from me Criss thought. "Christopher!!"a voice called out. Criss came down and saw his mother standing there . "Mom what are you doing here?". "I need to speak with you about Antonia"she remarked. "Mom I know about the baby and what her father is pushing her to do"he replied. "But why didn't you write back to her Christopher?" she asked Criss sat down on the stairs. "Because JD and Costa hid the letters from me. I just found them in JD's desk. I'm just so angry at them for doing this they were the reason Antonia left that day"Criss stated trying to keep his temper at bay. "She left because of JD and Costa" Dimitra replied shocked that her sons would do this.

"Costa came over while I was at The Luxor he told Antonia that if she didn't leave that he'd bring the cops and have her arrested. When I got home and saw Antonia with her luggage I told her not go but she told me what Costa said. When I saw her leave I felt like a piece of my heart was ripped out and I was never going to get it back"Criss replied. "I think you should go back and see Antonia before that baby comes" Dimitra suggested. "Believe me I am" and Criss went upstairs to get his bag. At the bakery my father wanted me to meet with a adoption lady to place the baby with a couple, but I wasn't going to. "Antonia Marisol you are giving that child up or you are out of my house!!" my father ordered me. "Dad that's unfair you are putting me behind the eight ball you know I want to keep this baby" I stated standing my ground. "And you think the father is going to help he's never coming back to help you with this child!!" he declared. My grandmother and my uncle decided to get involved in the conversion.

"Dennis why are you being so mean to your only child. This child's impending arrival should be a happy occassion"my grandmother stated. "No it isn't my daughter isn't having a baby out of wedlock like some trailer trash hussy. She is giving that baby up and that's that" My father replied. "Or you're going to throw her out just because she wants to be a mother to that child"my uncle said feeling ready to punch my father. "Listen I took it upon myself when her mother went insane to raise her. Hell I came close to giving her up but I didn't and it was hard. I don't want my daughter to go through that pain I went through". "But I won't dad I've got my uncle and aunts to help me and I know that Criss's mom will love to see her new grandchild" I butted in. "Please the player probably doesn't give a flying canolli about this child that's why he hasn't been here to even acknowledge he is the father of this baby ".

As everyonre argued I felt a pain in my stomach and something coming down my leg. "Oh god!!" I declared. My grandmother turned around and saw a small puddle of blood on the floor. "Finally my prays have been answered"my father stated as my grandmother sat next to me. "Hey shut up Dennis this is serious!!!" my uncle yelled as my father stood and watched. "Grandma I'm scared" as tears rolled down my face. "It's going to be all right your baby probably wants to come out and give your father a swift kick in the head" my grandmother remarked looking at my father with evil eyes. "I'll go get the car" my uncle stated and left pushing my father to the side. Outside Criss had just pulled up as my uncle was going back in to get me and my grandmother. "JOHNNY!!!" Criss yelled out "Criss no time to explain just follow me we have to bring Anotina to the hospital!!"he yelled. Criss pulled behind as I came out. When I saw Criss I didn't feel as scared as I was before.
