When it came time for the transplant Criss waited with Brooke's mother in the surgery lounge. As they waited Criss went over to window and starred out sometimes not realizing it he was touching his scar on his chest. "Christopher"Joanne said. Criss turned to her. "Yea"he stated. "I was wonderng if you would like to see a picture of Philip". Criss smiled and went over to see next to her. She pulled out a picture of them and showed it to Christopher. "This was taking the night I told him about Brooke. We went down to our favorite bar once we walked in the first words out of his mouth were: WE'RE PREGNANT DRINKS ON ME". Criss chuckled wondering if his father would of done the same thing when he found out about him and his brothers' impending arrivals. "I was ready to do the same thing when I got engaged to Sandra"Criss replied.

"If you don't mind me asking how did you explainto her about your transplant?". "We were outside in my pool swimming and we had only been dating a few weeks she saw the scar and asked me if I had heart surgery as a child. I just told her I had a heart transplant when I was in my twenties. I told her why I had it and what I went through and my family. She told me today that because of what I told her she decided to become an organ donor"Criss replied. Joanne smiled as the doctor came out. Criss saw him and they both stood up. "Everything went well both Sandra and Brooke are in recovery". When Criss got back to Serenity his mother was up reading a book. "Mom I thought you'd be in bed by now"Criss replied.

"I wanted to see how everything went". Criss sat next to his mom. "Everything went great no hiccups or anything. Both Brooke and Sandra are in recovery so I'll see them both tomorrow"Criss stated. "That's wonderful Christopher". "Mom I have tell someone this because it's been driving me crazy thinking about it". "What that?". "Do you remember when my crew and I were exposed to those chemicals a few months back?". "Why yes tat scared me out of my skin when Costa called and told me you had a seizure"she remarked. "When I had that seizure I was in this white room I heard this guy's voice so I turned around. This guy told me I was the reason I was still on this earth and that his name is Philip. I just thought my brain made him up, but today Joanne showed me a picture of him and it was the same person I saw right down to the grizzty adams beard".

"I don't know what to tell you Christopher maybe it was something your father from upstairs so to speak came up with"Dimitra remarked. "Maybe well I'm going to bed I'll see you in the morning". He gave his mom a kiss and walked up the stairs
