A week went by and I was swimming as Nathan slept upstairs but I had the baby monitor on. A knock came to the door so I got out to get it . I opened the door and JD was there. "Hey JD"I stated. "Antonia. Come on Criss you've got a meeting that you're going be late for"JD said coming in. "Just give me a second to grab something from my office" and Criss went back to his office as JD sat down. "So how you doing JD?"I asked drying off. "Good how are you adjusting to being a mother" he inquired. "Good it was difficult at first but it getting easier"I replied putting a bottle in the microwave. "Come on JD before Felix has a nutty"Criss remarked. "Criss you going to try to be home for lunch?" I inquired. "I'll try but if the meeting goes later than expected I'll give you a call" Criss replied. I walked over and Criss gave me a kiss than left. "So this is where you go for lunch"JD remarked. "Yea Antonia saves Nathan's lunch bottle for me since he's always asleep when I get home from Believe" Criss replied.

JD just smiled at his younger brother. "What's with the smile?" he asked. "I'm seeing you in a whole new light Christopher and Antonia" and they left. After I fed Nathan the phone rang. "Hello"I said. "Antonia it's so good to hear your voice" a voice remarked. "Grandmom it's so good to hear your voice" picking up Nathan. "When Dimitra sent me that picture of you holding Nathan tears just fell down my face"she replied. "I'm sorry for putting you and the family through that I-". "Antonia you don't need to apologize your father made you doubt yourself but we're just happy you're all right" she replied. Then Nathan gurgled. "Was that Nathan?". "Yea he's getting so big grandma Dimitra sayes he's reminds her so much of Christopher when he was a baby"I replied. "I'm going to try to come out so I can see you and my great grandchild"she said.

"Just tell me when and where and I'll make the arrangement"I stated. "All right but there is a surprise coming to you from me". "Thanks grandmom" and she hung up as a knock came to the door. I went to the door with Nathan in my arm I opened the door and my uncle Johnny was at the door. "Oh Uncle Johnny what are you doing here?" giving him a hug trying not to hurt Nathan. "There's a bakery's convention here so your grandmother sent me instead of your father"he replied with joy. "I'm so happy to see you" as I tried not to cry. "Is that Nathanial god he was just a peanut when I last saw him"he stated. "Here sit down and you can hold Nathan"I stated. We sat down and I gave him to my uncle. "Oh Tony you made such a pretty little baby with Criss" he replied. "Dimitra said the same thing"I replied. Then my uncle noticed the ring on my finger. "I see Criss gave you your mother's ring". "Yea he said that you gave it to him for when or if he proposes marriage but he gave it to me so I could remember my mom"I replied. "Your grandmother said something to me she thinks your mother may of sent this little boy to you and Criss for a reason"he stated.

"Yea he's taking over for his dad when Criss retires from magic" I joked which brought a smile to my uncle's face. "Shoot I have a gift but I left it at the hotel". "Don't worry Uncle Johnny you can give it to me before you leave Las Vegas"I said smiling. Then we noticed Nathan fell asleep in my uncle's arm. At The Luxor Criss had finished the meeting and went to his office. When he got there Costa and JD were waiting there. "Criss can we talk to you alone" Costa inquired. "Sure" Criss remarked and they went into the office. "What's up?" as Criss sat down. "We would like to apologize for the way we treated Antonia and hiding those letters on you"JD stated. "Seriously you're not doing this to make me happy or you got your butts chewed out by mom" Criss said. "No when Antonia left we saw how sad you were"Costa said. "We just couldn't see how much you and Antonia love each other untill now" Costa added. Criss got up and walked over to his brothers. "Thanks guys" and gave his brothers a hug.
