Criss cleared his throat. “Oh Criss hi” he said wiping away the tears. “I’m not disturbing you” Criss remarked. “No have you heard anything yet”my father asked. “Nothing yet” as Criss came in. “I like what you did with your wedding rings giving her yours” he stated. “Just my way of saying I’m here for you when I can’t be” Criss replied. “I heard you talking with your mother and how scared you are about losing my daughter and I’m right there behind you. I don’t want to lose my only child either” trying not to cry. The doctor walked in and saw them standing there. “Christopher how nice to see you and this must be Antonia’s father”. "Yes how is Antonia anyway have her labs come back”Criss asked. “Well the good news is her cancer hasn’t metastasized to her bones”.

Criss breathed a sigh of relief and so did my father. “Also it seems her body is fighting the cancer” “That’s great news” my father replied. After the doctor left Criss sat down. “I’m going to call the family” and my father left. “Christopher”A weak voice said. Criss turned and saw I was awake. “Antonia it’s good to hear your voice” Criss replied. I looked and saw Criss didn’t have his ring on. “Criss where’s your wedding ring?”I asked weakly. “Look at yours”,he replied. I turned my head and saw it. “I wanted to be near you even when I wasn’t”. I smiled and gave Criss a kiss than a hug. Out in the hall my father just watched and smiled. “Thank you dad for keeping my little neonata (baby girl in Italian) alive” my father whispered. A few days passed and I got to come home. The doctor told us that I was getting better which made me happy. At the house Dimitra was cleaning up as Nathan was outside with JD and little Dimi cleaning up. "That's good Nathan now put it in the bag" which he did. In the front Costa was picking up his butts when a taxi pulled up and my uncle and my father got out.

"Hey Johnny Dennis nice to see you again I'm surprise you didn't bring your mother with you"Costa remarked. "She's on a cruise but we did send her a message about Antonia's turn around so when is Criss and Antonia be back". "Soon we're all cleaning up the house and the back yard". The door opened and Dimitra came out with Verida. "Costa can you go upstairs and get Zoey for me?"she asked. "Sure" and Costa went in. "Let me see my granddaughter Dimitra" taking her from Dimitra. They all came in as Nathan came running in. “Nathan oh my god he’s gotten so big the last time I saw him” Johnny stated. Nathan started to sign something to Johnny. “What is he say Dimi?”my father asked. “Uncle he’s calling Johnny Uncle”she replied as my uncle smiled.
