When my uncle and Dimitra came back we were swimming in the pool. My uncle and Dimitra came out with the twins still in the strooler. "How was the walk?" Criss asked getting out with Nathan. "Good it seems they get less fussy when they're taking for a walk" Dimitra remarked. "Aby"Nathan said. "Almost Nathan it's baby"Criss replied. "He's getting there with the talking"my uncle said. "Before you know it he'll become his father a chatter box"I joked as Dimitra tried not to laugh. "HEY!!"Criss replied. "No that would be your father Criss doesn't talk as much"my uncle stated as everyone snickered. "What's so funny out here" a voice called out. Nathan signed grandpa and he was right it was my father with a box. "Inside joke daddy so what do you have in the box?" I asked getting out. "Well Dimitra told me what happened with Nathan so I brought him a surprise which we will all have after lunch". He opened the box and everyone saw what it was. Then Nathan signed something.

"That's right Nathan it's cookies it looks your favorite chocolate chip"Criss replied. Nathan gave his grandfather a hug which made my father smile. That night Criss woke up and found I wasn't in bed. He got up and went to the twin's room but I wasn't there. He started to get nervous so Criss went downstairs and saw me sitting outside under the moonlite sky. Criss walked slowly and when he got closer he saw me holding a picture of me and my mom in my hand. Criss could tell I was missing my mom. Criss decided to go back to bed before I saw him. At the production office the next day Criss was on the phone as George came in. "Thanks we'll talk about more later" and hung up. "What's going on Criss?"George inquired. "Nothing where's Costa and JD?". "Believe or not Costa is at the dentist and JD made sure he went this time"George replied. Criss snickered. "Costa hates the dentist more than I hated needles as a kid" Criss replied. "I wish he'd get over the fear like you did"George stated. Then my uncle came in with my dad. "Johnny Dennis what are you guys doing here?"Criss inquired standing up. "Just came to see what you were doing Criss what's going on George?"my uncle stated. "Nothing much" George replied.

"George why don't you show Johnny the warehouse I need to talk to Dennis alone" Criss asked. "Come on" and they left. "So what's up Christopher?" as they sat down. "Last night I saw Antonia sitting outside holding a picture of her mother and for some reason it made my heart break seeing her like that"Criss said. "I know I kind of feel responsible because of the argument we had and getting arrested for it" he remarked. "Well I wanted to tell you I hired a PI to find Natillee and bring her back into Antonia's life" Criss replied. "Christopher that is wonderful" my father remarked. At the house I was watching Dimitra play paddy cake with Nathan. I could see my mom doing that and tears started to fall down my face. "Antonia you all right?". I turned around and saw Lynn. "Oh Lynn didn't hear you come in yea I'm fine just watching Dimitra play with Nathan"I replied wiping the tears away. "I came over to just check you out" and we sat down. "Lynn have you ever felt that something been taking from you again and again" as she check my blood pressure. "What do you mean Antonia?"she asked.

"I just miss my mom and everytime I have her something happens that makes her disappear". Lynn could tell just by face I missed her. "Everytime I watch Dimitra play with Nathan or helps me with the twins it reminds me of when my mom did that or when she came back and helped deliver the twins. I just wish she'd come back"I remarked. Lynn gave me a hug. "I know the feeling my mom died when I was pregnant with Dimi. When I saw Dimitra holding Dimi for the first time I wished with all my heart my mom could of seen her granddaughter before she died". "Thanks Lynn it makes me feel a little better to have someone know what I'm feeling"I replied. "No problem and your blood pressure is good". Then Dimitra came in as Nathan ran over to me. "Mommy mommy" he said. I picked him up and he hugged me which brought a smile to everyone in the room including me.
