At parking Criss couldn't get to his car because someone doubled park. "This is just great who the hell double parks"Criss said. "I'll do you one better my battery is died". Criss pulled out his phone and dialed 911. "Hello my wife is in labor at Sunset park. Can you send an amblunce fast my wife isn't in the mood to be on the five o clock news for giving birth in a park. Really thank you" and hung as my mom and I came out. "What's going on her water's broking and the contractions are five minutes apart". "Make that one and a half"I stated. "My battery is dead and someone decided to block Criss in" "Oh god I don't want to deliver in a park!"I exclaimed. "Don't worry I called 911 there's an amblunce on its way". Like magic the amblunce came with the police. The EMTS helped me up and put me on the gurney. "Come on dad"the EMT called out to Criss.

"We'll be right behind you Christopher"my mom said. "Hurry please"I exclaimed. Criss got in and we left. As they drove we got stuck in a traffic jam even with the lights there was no room for the cars to go. ""Oh god"I called out. "Antonia what's wrong?". "I think Christopher is coming now"I stated. "Guys this kid is coming now". One of them came over and checked. "Marty pull it over I see a head". I took Criss's hand as I pushed. "Come on Antonia you're doing good the head is almost out". I screamed as the babycame out. "It's a boy" the EMT remarked as he started to cry. He gave the baby to me. "Welcome to the world Christopher"I replied as the EMT let Cris cut the cord. When we finally got to the hospital my parents were waiting outside.

They came over as they took me out holding the baby. "Oh my god he's beatiful"my mom stated. "Congratulation my sweet little tony" my father said as he gave me a kiss on the forehead. "Thanks dad" as Criss got out as well. "I don't believe it he's still vertical call the papers"my mom remarked as Criss just chuckled. Back in New Jersery my grandmom and Dimitra were having a drink. "God I forgot how much enegry those kids have". "But Nicholas was such a helper with Stella and Johnny"Dimitra remarked. The phone rang and my grandmom got it. "Hello really of course we'll tell them in the morning, and hung up. "Christopher was born today". "Really"Dimitra stated. "Yup ten pounder get this she gave birth in an amblunce and Criss didn't collaspe". "I'm calling Ripleys on that one"Dimitra replied as Wilma laughed.

Before I knew it my parents were getting married again and this time I was there to see it. As Jill and I got ready with my mom in her area a knock came to the door. "Who is it?"my mom inquired. The door opened and Criss came in look nice in a suit and tie. "Well well I wish I had a camera Christopher you look wonderful"my mom remarked. "Thanks I need to borrow my wife for a minute" he said. "I hope it's not for seven minutes in heaven"Jill said with a giggle as we rolled our eyes. "So?"I asked as we stood in the hallway. "It's the kids they're getting ansty and JD called the twins Dimitra and himself have the Norway Virus so he can't watch the kids after the wedding" Criss remarked. "What about Costa?". "I don't know about that Costa has really no experience with kids"Criss admitted.

"Well I'm not going to send the kids back to Sereinty where your mother is watching Stellla, Johnny, and CJ. She'll have a heart attack". "Maybe I can ask Luke if he can watch them after the wedding" Criss suggested. "You forgot that Luke broke his leg thanks to Costa; his mother has Matthew since Luke is on crutchers and can't hold Matthew. You're out of options Christopher you have to call Costa to come and get the kids after the wedding". "All right" and called his brother. At his house he was getting ready to leave when his phone rang. He answered it on a whim that it was his date telling him she was running late. "I'm on my way Shelia". "Wrong again Costa leave the mentalism to me" Criss stated. Why I should of just let it go to the machine, he thought. "What's wrong Criss?". "I need you tonight JD was surposeto watch the kids but he's sick so I need you to watch, Nathan, Verdia, and Zoey tonight" he stated.

"Noway bring them to the reception". "I can't children aren't invited to the reception just adults"Criss replied. "What about mom?". "Are you mad she'd have a heart attack trying to take care of all the kids she's not forty like me. Just be at The Luxor in an hour that's where the reception is". "All right let me give my date a call but you owe me" and hung up. When Criss came back my father was fixing his tie. "Everything all right with the kids?". "Yea I told the kids that they're going to be staying at Uncle Costa's place for the night"Criss said. "Did you tell your brother that it was going to be over night". "If I did he would of said no, hung up, and left before I could call back"Criss replied. "You're bad Christopher" as Criss giggled.

When we got to the reception Costa wasn't there. "I swear if he's bailing I'll kill him"Criss muttered looking around for Costa's car. As he waiting Felix showed up with his daughter Daisy. "Criss what are you doing out here the reception is inside"Felix remarked. "I'm waiting for my brother Costa he's watching my kids over night and I have a feeling he bailed to be with his date just to annoy me"Criss replied. "Daddy Verida is touching me" Nathan called out from the car. "Did not" she replied. "Did you try JD?". "JD was surpose to watch them but he, and Dimi got the Norway Virus and I'm not sending them to Serenity where they'll probably send my near eighty year old mother into the cardic ward". The phone rang and Criss saw it was Costa. "Costa where are you?'. "Criss I can't do it tonight I'm kind of in the middle of something"he replied as Criss heard his date calling him back to bed.

"Costa I need you I'm stuck". "Maybe next time" and hung up. Criss felt ready to scream bloody murder as Daisy walked over to Criss. "You all right Criss you look ready to blow a fuse or a blood vessel". "My brother bailed on me and I've got nobody to watch the kids"Criss remarked. "Criss may I may a suggestion my daughter is a nanny she can watch your kids for you"Felix suggested. "Felix they may need to stay overnight and I can't do that to Daisy"Criss remarked as I came out. "Criss what's going on where's Costa". "Bailed"Criss remarked. "Mommy I'm hungry"Nathan called out. "Criss Antonia it's no problem I can watch these guys for you". "And I don't mind if they're at my house having a sleep over"Felix added. "All right but if they get out of hand call me and I'll come and get them"Criss replied.

I walked over to the car with Daisy. "Guys this is Daisy she's going to be watching you tonight so I want you guys to be on best behavior"I stated. "Hi guys I'm Daisy". Hi Nathan signed. "Nathan is deaf but he's been talking pretty good"I stated. Really Daisy signed. Nathan smiled. "And these two are Verdia and Zoey". "Hi"they said in unionsion. "Well hi back"Daisy remarked. After the kids left with Daisy and Felix we went back in. "Everything all right with the kids?"Jill asked. "yea but I might be on trial for killing Costa"I replied. "Bailed on you nice Criss may help you with that. I checked in with my mom Matthew is a sleep and so is Luke". "Well that's good come on" and we went into the reception.

It was a Saturday but for Criss it was a special day it was loyal Saturday something Criss loved to do he considered it the one way he could get to know his fans. As Criss got ready for it I was feeding CJ in the nursery. After I finished feeding and cleaning him up Nathan came in. "Hey baby I thought you were playing with your sisters". "They're playing dress up in your bedroom"he replied. Not again. I asked Nathan to bring his brother downstairs as went into the room to find the girls putting on my make-up and wearing my dresses. "Look I'm going to a premire with daddy"she replied. "VERDIA ZOEY SARANTOKAS what have I told you about this"I stated as they stood there. "What's all the yelling about"Criss inquired coming in. When he saw them and my face he knew I was mad. "Verdia Zoey how many times do we need to go through this you're not surpose to play dress up with mommy's clothes or play with her make-up"Criss inquired.

"I want you two to take off my clothes, clean your faces off and go to your room". "But we're going with daddy today"Verdia remarked. "Not today you to aren't going anyway you broke the rule of not playing in mommy's closet and wearing her make-up. Now go clean up"Criss replied. The girls not happy left as I picked up. "What is up with those two if there like this now I don't want to see their teenage years"I replied. "Join the club". When it came time to leave Criss took Nathan and CJ with him. At the location the guys were setting up. "So Luke how are you and Jill doing?". "Good Matthew doesn't have colic anymore he's crawling like a mad man and we're considering having another baby"Luke replied. "Did someone say something about another baby"Criss called out as he came in with Nathan holding CJ in his carrier. "Decided to bring the oldest and the youngest today"Mateo said.

"Well I would of brought the girls but they broke a rule and their punishment was staying home"Criss stated. "Oh my god who blew wind?". Criss look down at CJ who was just looking around. Criss picked him up and could tell it was him. Diaper Change Nathan signed. "You're not kidding buddy I'll be right back" and went to change CJ. After that Luke got an idea and brought Nathan over to Criss's seat. After CJ was cleaned up Criss came back with him and saw Nathan sitting at his desk. Me taking over for daddy he signed as Criss chuckled. "Luke hold Chris for me I have to get a picture of this"Criss said. "I've got a better idea" and told Criss. It was noon so I turned on my computer and went to Criss's site. When I got to it there was Nathan sitting there in Criss's seat. "I see Nathan is taking over for his father today"Luke stated as Nathan smiled.

"Now only if he could do his father's show we'd be all right" Mateo added as I just chuckled. "Are you ready"Nathan stated. "What's going on here I use the bathroom and you start the show with me"Criss said as he came into view. Criss picked Nathan up and put him on his lap. As the show went on Nathan was having fun even signing some answers that I adore. "Before we end this everyone wants to see the new edition to my family my name sake Christopher the second so Luke can you go get him for me". Luke brought the carrier out so everyone could see him. "Well at least his asleep instead of crying"Luke stated as they zoomed in on him. "He'll probably be whining when I bring him home so that's the end for today but come back next month and maybe my girls will take over"Criss remarked.

[RACHEL02189]

When Criss and the guys came home I was cleaning up. "Honey we're home" he called out. "Hey guys did you have today?". Nathan nodded as Criss put CJ in his playpin. "How are the girls right now?" as Criss gave her a kiss. "Better they're watching television upstairs,". Then crying could be heard. "Stella's up". "I'll go get her before Johnny wakes up too"Criss suggested and went up. As he walked to the room he heard Verida and Zoey talking. "PU this is a ten on the stink scale"Zoey remarked. "Shh be quiet we don't want to wake up Johnny too". Verdia came down the step stool with Stella. "It's all right Stella we're going to change you". Criss watched quietly as they changed her clothes and the diaper. "Stella you trying to make the wallpaper peel"Zoey replied as she put the diaper in the pail.

"All right a wipe here than a squirt of powder". Stella sneezed as a bit of powder went up her noise. "Bless you there we go I knew watching daddy and mommy change these guys would come in handy". "Let's put her back before mommy and daddy come up"Zoey suggested. "I'll do that you just clean up the dirty clothes and stuff". Verdia put Stella back into her crib and the girls went back into the media room. When Criss came back down I asked what took him so long. "Well I saw the good side to Verdia and Zoey they just changed Stella all by themselves"Criss remarked. "Seriously" I said surprised. "I'm just as surprised as you"Criss stated.

[RACHEL02189]

That night while Criss was at Believe I called Verdia and Zoey down. "Yes mommy"they said. "I would like to talk to you" as they sat down on the couch. "Did we do something wrong?"Zoey inquired. "No I wanted to thank you two for taking care of your sister's diaper change this afternoon" I replied. "How did you know we were very sleath about it?"Verdia inquired. "Not as sleathy as your father he watched you guys and he was very proud of you two". they both smiled and blushed. "We kind of felt bad for breaking the rule today so when we heard Stella crying we decided to help you and daddy out"Zoey stated. "Well thank you girls again and for doing that your father is taking you two to work on Tuesday but you have to be on your best behavior all right". "Yes mommy we swear"they said.

On Tuesday the girls got ready to go to work with Criss. Downstairs Criss was having some breakfast as Zoey and Verdia came down. "I see we're ready to roll"he said. "Uncle JD will be surprised to see us"Zoey remarked. "I bet you he will but remember you have to be on your best behavior". "We promise daddy"they said in unionsion. "And one more thing don't do that unionsion thing gives me the chills"Criss asked as they left. When they got to The Luxor Gerard was outside with Luke. "Hey guys what are you doing out here?" as he unbuckled the girls. "Just waiting for you hello ladies what are you guys doing with daddy?"Gerard inquired.

"They did something very nice for me and their mother so I'm rewarding them like I rewarded Nathan Saturday"Criss explained. "We'll see you inside and be good girls"Luke said as they all went in. They walked in and went to the production office. Zoey and Verida went to Criss's desk and sat in the chair together whcih Criss loved. "I see you've got another heir to the throne Christopher"Felix stated walking in. "Good morning Felix I see you remember my daughters Zoey and Verdia". "Yes I do Verida loved watching my cook make Mac and Cheese for the kids and Zoey loved my horses". "Maybe when they're a little older I'll take them on a horse ride"Criss suggested. "Maybe but I think the ponies at the fairs will have to do. Just a reminder you have a meeting at two instead of ten today". "Thank you for telling me". "You're welcome good-bye ladies". "Good-bye Felix"they remarked.

Felix smiled as he left. As the day went on the girls were on their best behavior which made Criss very happy. While the girls were taking a nap in Criss's dressing room Criss was on the phone with me. "They have been prefect angels today". "Good I got a call from my mom she's going to be maoving abck to New Jersey in a few dayws so we're having a going away party for her"I stated. "Just make sure it's on a day I can come"Criss said. "I've made sure of it talk to you later" and hung up

[RACHEL02189]

The day came for my mom to go back to New Jersey. "I'm all packed and ready to go I can't believe I'm going back to New Jersey to work with your father again". "With grandmom retired dad's going to need all the help he can get"I remarked as my mother laughed. My mom began to tear up. "What's wrong mom?"I asked giving her a tissue. "I was just thinking of the first time we met Nathan was still a toddler and the rest of the children weren't even here yet". "Oh mom I remember how you came in through the sliding door and delivered Verdia and Zoey while Criss was knock out on the floor"I stated giving her a hug. "I just hope Jill can keep the shelter running". "Mom I dcan with a little help from the assistant I hired. Even Criss has offered to do a Minderfreak episode at the shelter"Jill remarked. "And I'm having a cookie sales in a few days and half the sale goes to the shelter mom"I added.

"Grammie grammie". The kids ranto her and she bent down and hugged them all. "You guys are going to be the one I'm going to miss the most"she replied. "Don't worry Natilee my next vacation we'll bring everyone to New Jersey to see you and Dennis"Criss promised. "Just send me pictures and videos of Matthew and CJ when they start crawling or walking"she asked. "We promise mom"Jill remarked. After the party had ended and all the kids were in bed I was looking out at the stars as Criss walked over. "Looking at the stars"he said. "Also wishing that my mom and dad have a great life just like us"I replied. Criss gave me a kiss as a shooting star flew by.
