Criss had Joanne sit down. "Why is Brooke dieing?"Dimitra inquired. "Brooke has an autoimmune disease that she's had since she was a toddler and now the disease has damaged her liver that it's failing. She needs a transplant or she's going to die"she replied trying not to cry. "I'm so sorry Joanne"Criss remarked. "One of the reasons I came here is to ask you to get yourself tested you maybe the only person who can match my daughter". "Why do you think that?"Dimitra asked. "Because Brooke has her father's blood type and I've asked the people who got my husband's organ if they'd get tested and so far nobody matches her so Criss you're my only hope to maybe saving my daughter" she replied. "Excuse me for a minute"Criss remarked and went to the bathroom.

Criss went in and splash some water on his face. After he dried his face he got a glimpse of his scar and starred at it. Memories of what his parents went through with him he was seeing in Joanne. When Criss came back he saw his mother talking to Joanne. Criss couldn't hear the conversation but Criss could tell she was trying to comfort her. Criss felt a bing of pain in his heart as he walked back. "So will you get checked to see if you match my daughter?"Joanne asked. Criss looked at his mother and she could see Criss was being hesitant. "Joanne why don't you go clean up you're starting to like a racoon"Dimitra suggested. "All right" and Joanne went to the ladies' room. "Now what's wrong Christopher?"Dimitra asked. "I just don't want to get her hopes up what if I don't match her daughter"Criss said.

"And what if you do Christopher. When you were put on the transplant list the doctor weren't even sure you would get a heart considering your blood type, but thankfully you did just get tested for now". "All right mom" and gave her a hug. That night after Criss got tested he went home with his mom. "Now you don't mind that me and Sandra go out to dinner tonight". "No Christopher I talked to JD and I'm having dinner with him tonight" she said with a smile. "I just hope I get a phone call from that doctor saying I match Brooke" looking at his band-aid that they took blood from. "Me too Christopher". Criss opened the door and went into the living room and to his surprise everyone from his crew to his family was there. "HAPPY REBIRTH!!"they called out. Criss couldn't believe it as everyone gave him hugs and kisses.. The night went on great it was a wondeful surprise for Criss but in the back of his mind he couldn't stop thinking of Brooke and if he was going to match her.
