Six months went by and I was at the bakery as my mom walked in. "Hello mom". "You got time for a lunch break"she asked. "Yea". When I came out my mother's jaw fell over when she saw how big I was. "Are you sure you're not having twins"she replied. "Sometime I think that when I woke up and saw how big my stomach has gotten"I replied rubbing my stomach. "Do you and Criss want to know". "We haven't decided yet come on let's go" and we left. At The Luxor Criss was working as JD came in. "How's it going JD I heard from Lynn the twins are walking"Criss remarked. "Yea how's Antonia doing?". "She's tired, swollen and uncomfortable"Criss replied. "Yea Lynn saw her at the hospital yesterday that kid did some growing". The phone rang and saw it was my mom. "Hello how are you what yea I'll be right down" and hung up as he grabbed his coat. "What's wrong?"JD asked. "Antonia's in the hospital she almost passed out while having lunch with her mother" and Criss left.

At the hospital I was being looked at. "Mom I don't need this I'm fine" I said. "Antonia you almost passed out at the resteraunt let the doctors make sure you and the baby are all right"she stated. I put my hand on my stomach as the baby kicked. At least you're all right I thought. The curtain opened and Criss came in. "Christopher"I stated. Criss came over and hugged me. "You all right I heard you almost blacked out" he said. My mother sat down Criss. "I'm fine Criss just got up too fast"I stated. "And the baby how's the baby?" putting his hand on my stomach. "The baby's fine moving around with all the space it's got"I joked. The doctor came in. "Well I got your results it seems you have a bit of high blood pressure which caused you to almost pass out" The doctor remarked

"Is it serious?"my mom asked. "If she can keep her stress level down enough to keep that baby in for another three months she'll be fine but if she doesn't Antonia could develop preeclampsia which means that the baby will be delivered no matter what"the doctor replied. "Thanks doc"Criss remarked and he left. "See it's nothing now I have to get back to the shop". "Wait a minute Antonia didn't you hear what the doctor said you need to take it easy and going back to work is out of the question"Criss remarked. "Christopher I can't do that to everyone"I replied. "Antonia I know you love that shop but you need to put the health of that baby in you first"my mother suggested. "Your mom's right Antonia I don't want this baby born too early that it can't survive"Criss said. "All right Criss for you and my mom I'll go home and relax but what about the circus we call home". "We'll take care of that just go home, put your feet up, and relax"Criss suggested. "Come on honey I'll drive you home"
