The nurse brought Criss to my room where I laying there asleep. "Don't stay too long she needs her rest"the nurse stated. Criss walked in quietly and sat on the foot of the bed. Criss turned and heard the baby's heart rate. "The baby has a strong heart like his father". Criss turned and saw I was awake. Criss smiled and so did I. "Antonia I'm so sorry for not responding to your letter my brothers hid them from me. I knew how they felt but what they did was wrong. I read what you wrote and I'm not going to be like that I won't flake on you or my responsibility toward this baby" he stated with some tears falling down. "I knew you wouldn't Christopher even with your new girlfriend" I remarked. "Girlfriend I haven't dated anyone since you"Criss said surprised. "But I saw you in New York with a girl and you went into Tiffany's with her" I explained. Criss took out his wallet and showed me a picture. "Is this the person you saw me with?"he asked. "Yes that's her"I replied as Criss put the picture back in his wallet.

"That's my sister in law Lynn" he remarked with a smile. I must of blushed five shades of red as we both giggled. Criss got up and gave me a kiss. "I'm going to let you rest and I'll see you tomorrow"he stated and kissed my forehead one last time before he left. At the hotel Criss was getting ready for bed and decided to check his phone. He saw his mother called ten times while he still hadn't returned his brother's call. He decided to call his mom first than deal with JD later. At Serenity Dimitra had fallen asleep on the couch when she heard the phone ring she woke up and picked it up. "Christopher"she said rubbing her eyes. "Did I wake you mom?" Criss asked. "It's all right I've been waiting for your call is everything all right with Antonia and her baby". "For now it was touch and go but she and the baby are all right"he stated. "Your brothers are wondering where you went and why you cancelled Believe tonight"she replied. "I'll deal with them later mom I'm too tired and too pist off at them right now"Criss replied sliding into bed. "If you would like I'll give them my two cents about it"she offered. "Let me sleep on it. Why don't you go upstairs to my room and sleep there I'll call you in the moring"Criss said. "All right good-night Christopher". "Good night mom" and hung up.
