After Criss told the guys what he had planned they decided to help in any way they could. At JD's house Lynn was cooking a turkey for the party while her daughter Dimitra is baking cookies for desert. "This is fun" as she decorated a cookie to look like a snowman. "I'm just hoping your father can find that ingredent I need for gray. The door opened and JD came in with a bag. "You swear it's the end of world today that grocery store reminds me of when Believe opened"JD remarked hanging up his coat. Dimi laughed as her father gave his wife the bag. "Joseph you are amazing". "I almost got into a rumble with eighty-two year for it"he replied. "I talked to Costa he's bringing the green beans and the drinks"she stated.

"Probably can beans"JD mumbled as Lynn playfully laughed. At his house Criss was setting the table making sure he had enough of every thing. A knock came to the door so Criss opened it and saw Mary. "Mary what are you doing here don't tell me that kid wants to join the party". Mary playfully laughed. "No I thought I'd come over and help you and to tell you Mark made other plans with some friends at work so it's just going to me and this little guy". "Well come on in". Mary looked around and saw how festive the place is. The smell of the tree hung which she loved. "This place makes me feel like I'm home"she stated. "Where is home exactlly?". "Bethlehem Pennsylvania"she remarked. Criss snickerede under his breath. The phone rang so Criss went to get it as Mary put the centerpiece on the table. "Hey Dave I know can you believe it a snow storm in New York. Yea I am if you want come on down. Bye" and hung up. "You inviting half of Las Vegas to this?"she inquired as Criss snickered.

"No that's my manager Dave he just wanted to wish me happy holiday" Criss replied. "Criss which way to the bathroom the kid is kicking my bladder like it's nobody's business"she stated. "Next to the stairs to your right". A few hours later people started to arrive. "Everything smells so good" Mary stated sitting down. "My wife can make anything out of nothing sometimes"JD remarked. "This coming from a guy who didn't know how to boil an egg before he got married"Costa joked. "Let's not go there I have take-out every night"JD remarked. "Enough of the fighting guy I'm not in the mood to spend Christmas Eve in the ER"Criss said. "So Mary how you doing considering you got kid coming any day now"Lynn asked. "Tired and I'm ready to live in the bathroom if this kid doesn't stop kicking my bladder". "Dimi was the same way every ten minutes Lynn needed to use the bathroom I was ready to hook up a port a potty to the car"JD stated as Criss tried not to laugh.

"At least we didn't come close to be born on the side of road like Criss" Costa stated. "So I decided to come early to the party"Criss said. "Criss you were a month early during a snow storm JD and I had a bet going you were either going to be a home birth or the side of the road birth "Costa stated. "Yea but instead mom had me in the ER of the hospital". "With this family every kid has been early mind you"JD stated. "In my family it's fifty fifty"Mary said. "Well dinner is ready so let's sit down". Everyone sat down and JD said a blessing in greek . Criss started to bring the food around when Mary looked down. "Something wrong Mary?"Lynn said. "I think my water just broke"she stated. "Are you sure?"Lynn remarked. Mary nodded as she squeezed Lynn's hand. "Costa go to Mark's house her bag should be beside the door, JD make sure your car isn't blocked. Lynn help Mary to the car"Criss said getting up. "Sorry about ruining dinner" Mary aplogized. "Just be thankful you're not having the kid in a manager"Criss remarked grabbing Mary's coat.
