At the hospital Criss was asleep in bed when Kelly walked in. She sat down and just watched Criss as he slept. After watching him she gave Criss a kiss and left as Sandra and Costa showed up. "Kelly what are you doing here?"Costa inquired. "I just wanted to see Christopher but he's asleep so I wouldn't brother him" she replied. "I'm going to find a doctor and see wat's going on with Criss" and Costa left. "I should get going" but Sandra stopped her. "Kelly I know the secret that you and Criss are hiding from his family"she said. "How we swore-". "I noticed how much Marcus looks like Criss,"Sandra stated. "Did you and Criss date before he met me?". Kelly and Sandra sat down. "No one night Criss and I went out to have some fun and we were drinking a lot. I mean call the cab and leave your car at home drinking. When I woke up the next day I saw clothes all around the place. When I saw Criss in the bed naked and so was I just grabbed my stuff and left. Criss and I never talked about it untill two days before Believe opened I found out I was pregnant with Marcus"

(PAST) "Come we have to get this right"Criss called out as Kelly walked in. When Criss saw Kelly he stopped and called Dinner which everyone was happy to take. "So what did the doctor say was the test right?". "Yup I'm pregnant and the baby's yours Christopher," she replied as Criss sat down. "Criss if you're not ready for this I can make arrangements-". "No I can't let you do that Kelly"Criss stated. "I can give the baby up for adoption Criss". "Kelly I can tell in your eyes you want to keep that baby"Criss remarked. "But what about the crew I can only hide this pregnancy for so long before it because obivious that a child is coming"Kelly stated. "We'll just lie to the crew". "Seriously what about your family don't you want to tell them"she remarked. "Kelly my mom old fashion she wants us to be married before we start a family. If she finds out that we're having a baby and we're not married she'll kill me or change my gender to put it nicely"Criss replied. "All right"

(PRESENT) "So Criss's family doesn't know that Marcus's is Criss's son" Sandra said. "Criss is scared of how his mother would react and I can understand that my mom was the same way she'd probably freak if she found out I have a child out of wedlock"she replied wiping the tears away. "Well your secret is safe with me I won't let anyone know this" and gave me a hug

When Criss woke up Sandra was there. "Hey baby"she said as Sandra ran her hand through his hair. "How long have you been here?". "A few hours I'm just happy you're awake" she stated. Then Criss noticed a smell in the air. "Kelly was here too I can smell her perfume in the air" he said. "Yea she came in for a little while and she told me about how Marcus is your son" Sandra replied. A look of panic hit Criss but Sandra told him she's keep his secret. "Thanks" and they kissed. At her apartment Kelly was feeding Marcus when her phone rang. "Hello" she said. "Kelly where are you I came by to talk to you and Criss but it seems his production studio is closed for the day"her uncle remarked. "It's because Criss got sick and was rushed to the hospital. Look I'm a little busy so I have to go" and hung up. After she finished feeding Marcus she asked her neighbor to watch Marcus while she went out.

When Kelly got to the hospital her phone rang again and it was her neighbor. "Something wrong Sam?"she said. "Well your uncle just called and I told him where you were wso he maybe heading your way". "Thanks" and hung up. In his room Criss was watching television when a knock came to the door. "Come in"Criss called out. The door opened and Robert walked in . "Christopher I heard from Kelly you were in the hospital". "Yea just one of the problems with Crohn's disease painful inflamation. If you're looking for Kelly she's not here" he stated. Kelly's uncle pulled over a chair and sat down. "Let's not screw around here I have a feeling you and Kelly are hiding something so what is it". "Robet I'm not hiding anything if you don't believe Marcus is mine check his birth certificate name of father will say Christopher Sarantakos my givin name" Criss remarked. "I just don't see what my niece sees in you considering you're a decade older than her". "What's that saying love is blind also it doesn't have any age limits either" Criss replied looking her uncle in the eyes. Kelly's uncle got up. "I will find out the truth Angel and when I do my niece and her son will be coming home with me" and he left.

[RACHEL02189]

When Criss finally got out of the hospital Kelly went to talk to him. "Criss this is getting too serious we need to stop this" Kelly remarked. "Kelly if we do you and my son are heading to London your uncle swore on it" he stated. "So what do you want to do now?" she inquired. "Invite him over JD and Costa are in New York visiting my mom. Sandra is going out with her mother and I've told her that I've got a meeting so I know she won't come by". "All right but first you need to hid some of the pictures of you and Sandra or my uncle will know something's up"she suggested. "All right did". That night my uncle came to Serenity. "Christopher I must say this place is beautiful" looking around. "Isn't it sometimes I try to find a reason to work from home sometimes"Criss replied smiling.

"Kelly why do you have an apartment even thou you and Criss are married?" he inquired still looking at the view. "Oh that I got it for Kelly we're doing some work on Marcus's room and I was afraid the fumes from the paint would make Marcus sick so I rented Kelly an apartment untill the work in Marcus's room is done" Criss stated. My uncle kept walking. "Nice save Criss" I whispered. Then my uncle saw a door but when he tried the door it was lock. "Why is this door locked?" my uncle inquired curiously. "That's my magic room there's stuff in there that are valuable and fragile so untill Marcus is a little older I keep it locked so he doesn't hurt himself" Criss explained. As my uncle looked at the kitchen my eyes started to water and I started to sneeze. "Criss where's Hammie?"I whispered.

"Carp I forgot you're allergic to cats". "Kelly you all right are your allegries brothering you"my uncle inquired. "My fault it's another reason I rented Kelly an apartment I got conned into watching my brother's cat for the weekend so excuse me while I make sure he's in his room" and Criss went to find Hammie.

[RACHEL02189]

Criss got upstairs and found Hammie in the hall way. "Come on you little escape artist you have to stay in my room untill Kelly's uncle leaves" as he put Hammie back in the room. When Criss came back down Kelly and her uncle were outside looking at the view. "I have to say Criss this view is awesome"he stated. "One of the reason I had my house built here"Criss remarked as he gave Kelly a peck on the check. "Where's Marcus ?"he wondered. "My niece Dimitra is watching him we didn't want him under your feet running around like a mad man"Criss replied. All of a sudden the door opened and Dimi came in with Marcus. "Dimi what are you doing here with Marcus?"Kelly inquired surprised to see them. "Marcus threw up at the house so I brought him to his mommy". Kelly walked over to him and picked him up.

"Thanks Dimi and if the carpet at the house need to be steamed clean I'll pay for it" Criss remarked and she left. "Daddy" Marcus called out when he saw Criss. "Come here buddy" and Criss took him. With out warning Marcus threw up all over Criss and himself. "Criss why don't you and Marcus get cleaned up" Kelly suggested. Criss and Marcus went upstairs to the bathroom. "Well I should get going so you guys can take care of Marcus". Before Kelly could say a word the door opened and JD and Dimitra came walking in. "Christopher" she called out. "Dimitra JD what are you guys doing here?"Kelly asked. "We wanted to surprise Criss and this must be your uncle"JD replied. "Uncle Robert this is Criss's brother JD and his mother Dimitra"Kelly said. "What an honor to meet you" as he shook hands with them. "I'll go get Criss" and went upstairs. In the bathroom Criss was cleaning the vomit out of his hair. "This is so nasty" he replied. Kelly opened the door and came in. "Criss rode red your mother and JD just showed up".

[RACHEL02189]

Criss's eyes were ready to bug out. "Are you serious my mom is downstairs with your uncle,". Kelly nodded. "Just go down there and make sure your uncle doesn't talk about us" Criss suggested. When she got downstairs Dimitra asked where Criss was. "He's just cleaning up Marcus he threw up all over him"my uncle replied. "Sometimes I think that kid is Criss's"JD stated. "What do you mean by that?" my uncle asked JD. "JD why don't you call Dimi and see if she got home all right you know the way people drive in Las Vegas". "Good idea". Then Criss came down. "Mom what a wonderful surprise" Criss stated giving his mom a hug. "New colgne ode de vomit" she joked. "Very funny mom this is Kelly's uncle Robert Irvine the chef". "Really a big guy like you can cook"Dimitra said. "Yes my uncle is an awesome chef"she remarked. "Why don't we sit down and talk about it I love to cook for my family when I can get them in the same room" as she looked at Criss.

"Daddy" a voice called out. We looked up and saw Marcus standing there. Criss went up the stairs and picked up Marcus. "That's so adorable" Dimitra stated. "It is"Kelly remarked. "Come on buddy let me put you in my room,". Criss felt Marcus's head. "Kelly!!" Criss called out. Kelly went up the stairs. "What's up?" she asked. "I think Marcus has a fever feel him". "Yea he does feel hot and he's pale too" Kelly stated. "Is everything all right?"Dimitra called down. "Not sure mom" Criss said. Dimitra came up. "What's wrong?" she asked. "He's got a fever and he pale as a ghost all of a sudden". "When Iwas cleaning him up he had diarrhea too and he said that his stomach hurt" Criss added. "I think you may have to take him to the hospital it sound like he has Salmonella" Robert said coming up. "I'll grab a blanket to wrap him in"Kelly stated. "I'll pull up my car to take you guys"Robert said. "I'll come too" and they left.

[RACHEL02189]

At the hospital Criss stayed with Marcus since he cried when Criss started to walked away. In the waiting room Kelly was thinking the worse. "Kelly relax Marcus is going to be all right"my uncle kept telling her. "I just think that something bad is going to happen to him or he's going to need surgery" she remarked. Her uncle sat her down with Dimitra. "Let me get you some water" and her uncle got up as Dimitra put her arm on Kelly's shoulder. "Kelly don't worry you are a good mother and even thou Criss isn't the father he's been a good foster father to Marcus"she stated. "So you don't think it's weird that my son calls Criss daddy"Kelly remarked. "In his eyes Criss is his father" Dimitra replied as she wiped away her tears.

"And you've been a great foster mom to me" and gave her a hug as Robert gave them some water. "I couldn't help but over hear that you've been like a foster mother to my niece". "Well one night I was looking for Christopher and I found Kelly crying. I sat next to her and she told me that she was pregnant but the father is a liar and a cheat. He didn't even want to even help Kelly with the baby". "Really so Criss isn't Marcus's father". "I wish I'm going to see what's going on" Dimitra stated and left. "You lied to me about Criss being Marcus's father" he uncle said a bit disappointed. "It's the other way around uncle Criss lied to his family. Dimitra is old fashion when it comes to marriage and kids". "So marriage before kids"her uncle stated. "Yea so when I found out I was pregnant we decided to make up the lie to make Dimitra happy maybe in time we'll tell her the truth" as she wiped the tears away. All of a sudden Sandra arivved with Costa. oh god as they walked over. "Sandra Costa what are you doing here?" she asked.

"We heard Criss is sick and in the hospital" Sandra remarked. "No you got the message wrong it's not Christopher who's sick it's Marcus"Dimitra said coming over. Costa and Sandra looked embrassed as they sat down. "Uncle Robert this is Costa one of Criss's brother". "Nice to meet you and is this your girlfriend?" my uncle asked. "No I'm-". "Sandra" a voice stated. Coming out of the ER was Criss with Marcus.

[RACHEL02189]

Kelly ran over and gave Marcus a big hug as everyone else came too. "Is Marcus all right?" Costa asked. "He does have Salmonella so the doctor gave me a prescription for some Electrolyte fuild for kids Marcus's age and to keep him hydrated. If the diarrhea or the vomiting gets worse bring him back here" Criss replied. "Thank god it wasn't a serious case"her uncle stated. "Why don't we all get out of here so Marcus can get better"Kelly suggested. "That's a good idea because you and I have to pack because we're going to Mexico in a few days" Sandra stated giving Criss a kiss. My uncle looked at Criss like he was ready to chop Criss up and make him into a stew. "Kelly why is your husband going to Mexico with this woman?" he inquired. Costa and Sandra chuckled. "Husband Criss and Kelly aren't married I'm Criss's girlfriend" Sandra remarked. "Yea Criss and Kelly are just working friends that's it but by the way Criss is around her son you swear Marcus is Criss's son"Costa added.

OH Criss thought. "Well I know for a fact that Criss is Marcus's father" and pulled out his black berry and showed a picture of Marcus's birth certificate. "Where did you get that?"Kelly asked. "I found it in your desk drawer" he replied. Dimitra took a look at it. "Name of father Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos this is has to be a fake" she replied. "Criss is this true you and Kelly slept together?" Costa inquired. "This is not the way I wanted this to happen" Criss remarked running his hands through his hair. "So it's true" Dimitra stated with tears coming down her face. "Before we start this let's not make a scene here"Sandra suggested. They all left and went back to Serenity while Sandra took Marcus to Kelly's place. "So how did this happen?" Dimitra asked as they all sat down. "Honestly the only thing I remember is waking up, seeing Kelly getting dressed and me wearing your thong" Criss said looking at Kelly. "That I would of like to of seen"Costa said as Criss slapped him upside the head.

"So you guy went out drinking?"Robert stated. "We were just letting off steam Criss just got Believe off the ground since nobody wanted to go with Criss I did" Kelly replied. "So you guys got drunk"her uncle stated. "Yea call the cab and leave your car at home drunk"Kelly remarked. "Christopher why didn't you tell me that you got Kelly pregnant"Dimitra asked. "Because I kept having this vision of me with Kelly at one of the chapels with you with a shot gun in my back" Criss replied.

[RACHEL02189]

"So Sandra is your girlfriend?". "Yes"Criss stated. "Does Sandra know that you have a child with one of your associates?"Dimitra asked. "Yes she figured it out but she doesn't mind it"Kelly stated. "So just you, Sandra and Kelly knew that Marcus is yours?"Robert asked Criss. "Yes"Criss said. "So you played me Kelly"her uncle said. "Uncle Robert I know that I'm your only niece but I couldn't take the chance of you fighting with me to pack up and move to London. I didn't want to take Marcus away from his father"Kelly replied. "Are we sure Marcus is yours?" Costa butted in. Criss hit him upside the head again. "Of course we had a DNA test done when Kelly told me that some women in her family carried the cystic fibrosis gene. Thankfully Marcus didn't have CF but he has my blood type AB double negative" Criss replied getting a drink.

"Hold on here Kelly has the same blood type as well"Robert said. "So does that mean that Marcus could not be Criss's son that the doctor's were wrong"Costa remarked. "Someone is wrong and it's not the doctors it's Criss Marcus has a rare blood type but it's not ABdouble negative"Kelly replied. A light blub went off in Criss's head. "You're right I remember the doctor telling us when Marcus was born".

(PAST) "SO WHY DO YOU THINK THE DOCTOR WANTED TO TALK TO US ABOUT MARCUS FOR?"KELLY ASKED. "MAYBE SOMETHING HAPPENED WHEN THE CORD WAS AROUND HIS THROAT BRAIN DAMAGE FROM A LACK OF OXGYEN" CRISS SUGGESTED. TEARS STARTED TOFALL DOWN KELLY'S FACE. "I'M SORRY I SAID THAT I'M SCARED TO FOR OUR SON" AS HE HUGGED HER. THE DOOR OPENED AND THE DOCTOR CAME IN. "SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING. NOW BEFORE I TELL YOU THIS I HAVE TO ASK YOUR BLOOD TYPES FOR MARCUS'S RECORDS"THE DOCTOR INQUIRED. "I'M AB--"CRISS REPLIED. KELLY GIGGLED A LITTLE. "MINE TOO" AS CRISS SMIRKED. "WELL YOU TWO ARE APART OF A MEDICAL WONDER. IT'S RARE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS" THE DOCTOR STATED. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN DOC?"KELLY ASKED. "WE HAVE NEVER SEEN TWO PEOPLE WITH THE SAME BLOOD ONE THAT RARE TO HAVE A CHILD THAT HAS ANOTHER RARE BLOOD TYPE AB++".

(PRESENT) "There you have it I'm not married to Kelly but Marcus is my son" Criss stated. "I hope you're not mad at us for doing this Uncle Robert"Kelly inquired getting up. "I'm shocked you kept this from everyone this long"Costa replied. Dimitra on the other hand didn't say anything. "Dimitra you all right you've gotten so quiet all of a sudden"Robert inquired. Dimitra grabbed her purse and went outside so Criss followed her. "Mom where are you going?" Criss asked. "I just can't believe you lied to me Christopher didn't your father and I teach you and your brothers about lieing". "Mom I had no choice you would of forced me to marry Kelly"Criss replied. "Than you shouldn't of slept with her". "Mom I was drunk for all I knew I was sleeping with Angelina Jolie" Criss remarked. "I need time to figure this out" and Dimitra left.

[RACHEL02189]

The next day Criss was sitting in Believe thinking as JD came in. "I thought I'd find you here. Costa told me what happened last night you coming clean to mom about Marcus being yours and that you and Kelly weren't married to her uncle". "I know that mom wasn't happy with the lie but I had no choice" he stated as JD sat down. "Come on Criss you had choices you could of told mom the truth". "Yea and ending up having a shot gun wedding no way"Criss replied. "All right we know that mom wants us to be married before starting a family but she would of understood that it was a moment of being drunk" JD stated. "Yea I can hear myself on the phone explaining to mom that I got so intoxicated that I made a baby with one of my female crew members. The tabloids would of loved that"Criss repled. "What about Kelly's uncle how did he react?". "He actted like he was fine but I don't know know exactly. How's mom handling this"Criss said.

"I don't know she wouldn't talk to me when she got home last night and when I got up she wasn't there I guess she went for a walk to clear her head". "Did you make sure her bags were in her room maybe she left early in the morning before anyone got up"Criss suggested. "Criss mom wouldn't do that". "I tried calling her but it went straight to voice mail"Criss stated. "Chris"a voice called out. They saw Robert standing there. "Stay near I don't want to end up dieing" and Criss went up to Robert. "Listen Robert I know what we did was stupid-". "Criss it's all right after we left your house my niece explained what was going on. That you're just friends and you take your responibilty as a father good. I can see in my niece's eyes that she has good friends here so I'm not going to bring her back to London with me" he said. "Now only if I can get my mom to see what's going on and why I did what I did"Criss said. "You will Christopher". That afternoon Criss was working on some stuff when Kelly came in with Marcus.

"Daddy" he called out. Criss got up and gave his son a hug. "He kept asking for you so I brought him down"Kelly said. "How you feeling Marcus?". "No upchuck" he replied as Criss and Kelly tried not to laugh. "That's good". "Do you mind watching him while I use the little girl's room"Kelly asked. "Sure come on buddy". After Kelly left Dimitra came in and walked over to the production office and saw Marcus with Criss as they colored some pictures. Dimitra watched them and sometimes she could see her husband doing the same thing with her sons when they were little especially Christopher. "He's been a great father to Marcus he loves to spend time with his son". Dimitra turned around and saw Kelly. "I feel betrayed by the lies he told"she replied. "Dimitra Criss hated lieing to you and his brothers but he was nervous that you may want him to marry me which Criss and I know wouldn't of worked out. Beside when Criss comes back from Mexico he may have a fiancee with him" she remaked. "You mean he's going to ask Sandra to marry him". She nodded. "Come on Dimitra why don't you come in and meet your grandson". The door opened and Criss saw his mom walk in as Marcus hid behind Criss.

Dimitra looked nervous as Criss got up. "Marcus this is my mom your grandmom" Criss explained. "Grandmom" Marcus stated pointing to Dimitra. "Yes and remember the two men that work with daddy they're your uncle and your baby sitter Dimi is your cousin"Criss explained. Marcus walked over to Dimitra and held out his arms. "Grandmom". Tears fell down Dimitra's face as she gave him a hug. "We're just going outside for a minute" and they went outside. "Thanks again for helping me Criss even thou it didn't go as planned"Kelly stated. "And thanks for helping me expalin to my mom about Marcus"Criss said. "I can say this Sandra is going to be a great step mom when you guys get married" she remarked. "And your uncle has offered to cateer the wedding if she sayes yes"Criss stated. "Shall get to work and let your mom bond with her grand son". "Let me go in and tell her" and Criss went into the production office.

THE END.........................
