At the bakery I was in my office with my feet up doing some bills as the baby was moving around. "Relax in there will you"I stated patting my big belly. The phone rang and I picked up. "Hello Sweet Antonia's bakery how can we help you?". "Tony it's Criss have you seen Jill?". "No why is something wrong with Luke?"I inquired. "No Jill left Matthew alone at her house thank god your mother came over for a visit"Criss stated. "let me go look I've been working in my office trying to stay off my feet. I'll call you back" and hung up. When I came out to the bakery I saw Jill sitting there with a cup of coffee.

"Hey Antonia". "Hey how long has she been here?"I asked pointing to Jill. "A few minutes she just sat down and ordered a coffee nothing else" she said. "Why don't you go take a break I'll man the store"I said. "All right but don't clean us out if that baby keeps asking for cookies"she said rubbing my belly as she left. "Hey sis". She looked up at me. "Hey I thought you'd be at home considering the episode yesterday" Jill stated. "I was doing some work in the back now what's up with you Criss just called and told me you left Matthew alone at the house". "I just couldn't take it anymore I just needed some peace and quiet. I knew mom was coming over I knew he was going to be all right". "Jill if you were having troubles with Matthew you can come to me for help. Verdia and Zoey had colic too".

"How did you handle it having two kids with colic". "Easy when Criss's brothers and his mother saw us ready to lose our minds they stepped in and helped even Lynn JD's wife can help you she's a nurse and I have some trick that my grandmother showed me for colic babies". "I guess I never thought of that. How's the baby doing"she remarked. "Actting like his father moving and grooving he's giving me a run for my money in here". "He you're having a boy". "Yea I found out yesterday when I was at the hospital and I'm going to tell Criss before he goes on stage for Believe"I stated. "Criss may scream it from the Luxor light when he finds out". That night Criss was getting ready for Believe. "So Criss how's Antonia doing this time around". "She's put on more weight but she keeps joking that the baby has more room to move". "Do you know what you're having?" his stylist asked. "Nope the baby doesn't want us to know but next doctor's appointment the doctor may try one more time"Criss stated. The door opened and Mastero came in.

"Criss this is from your wife" giving him an envelope. Criss opened it and it was a sonogram picture and on the bottom it read in big bold letters: CHRISTOPHER NICHOLAS SARANTOKAS JR Tears fell down his face as Criss just stared at it. "Excuse me I need to make a call to my wife"Criss said and left the room. At the house I was relaxing when the phone rang. "Hello". "So you want to name him after me"Criss stated holding the phone while looking at the sonogram. "Why not it be fun to have a Christopher the second". "You know what if my father was still alive he'd love you"Criss said. "That's what your mom said when we got married have a good show and I'll see you in the morning". "All right and thanks for the surprise" and hung up. After he hung up Criss went over to the mirror in his room and put the sonogram on the mirror next to a picture of his family which includes his father.
