As the months went on Criss was enjoying the fact that he's becoming a father of twins but I was nervous. During a lunch break Criss went over to FAO Schwartz to look around at the baby stuff. After he finished there Criss came back to see JD with Nathan. "What's Nathan doing here?"Criss asked as he felt a lump in his throat. "Lynn brought him down Antonia is in the hospital with high blood pressure"JD remarked. A sense of panic ran through Criss. "Before you go nuts go to your wife and I'll keep this little kid with me"JD replied. Criss gave his son a kiss and left like a bullet shot out of a gun. At the hospital I was in bed with a pressure montioner attached to my arm taking my blood pressure every hour. I was about to call JD when my phone rang and saw it was Criss. "Criss thank god JD found you"I replied. "Are you all right are the twins coming?" he asked.

"No but if my blood pressure goes up any higher they may so hurry up"I stated. "I'm coming" and hung up. When Criss came in the doctor was just about to take my pressure. Criss walked to me and hugged me than took my hand as he sat down. "Just to fill you in if Antonia's blood pressure has gone up we're going to have to deliver those twins"the doctor told Criss. "I understand" Criss replied. He took my pressure than I saw a smile on his face. "Your pressure went down a little if it keeps going down those twins may not be born tonight" the doctor replied. "Thanks doc" Criss remarked as tears started to fall down my face. The doctor left and Criss gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Thank the man upstairs,"I muttered. Criss wiped the tears from my face. "Criss I'm nervous what if the kids are born early?". "Don't worry about that these kids won't be born for another two months" Criss assured me. He put his hand on my belly than smiled. I closed my eyes and fell asleep as Criss got up. Back at The Luxor JD was getting ready to leave with Nathan when the phone rang.

"Yea Criss how's Antonia?"he asked. "So far so good do me a favor tonight keep Nathan with you. I'm going to stay here to keep Antonia calm or just incase the twins have to come" Criss asked. "Sure and don't worry". "Thanks" and hung up

[RACHEL02189]

The next day in New Jersey my father and my uncle were working on a cake. "So how's Antonia doing?"my uncle asked. "So far so good from Dimitra she say that Antonia is doing great trying to stay off her feet but with a one year old and the husband working it's hard" he replied. Then my grandmother came in looking worried. "Mom what's wrong?" my father asked. "I just got a call from Lynn you know JD's wife she informed me that last night they kept Nathan overnight because Antonia is in the hospital for high blood pressure, but Criss stayed with her just in case so I'm going to go down there to help out any way I can"she remarked. "I think that's good mom just keep us informed all right". She gave them a thumbs up and left. "Poor Tony that's scary think to happen because it could lead to preclampsia than they're going to have nochoice but to deliver the twins" my uncle stated.

"I know that's what scares me considering what they're going through with Nathan" my father replied. At the hospital when I woke up I saw Criss asleep in a chair next to the window. He looked cute. The door opened and the nurse came in. "How you feeling?"she asked. "Good the headache's gone"I replied. "Well your blood pressure has stablized but he's going to put you on strict bed rest untill those twins come"she remarked and left. When she closed the door Criss woke up. "Hey sleepyhead how did you sleep?"I asked as Criss got up. "Not bad what did the nurse say?"he asked . "Good news my blood pressure has stablized bad news he's going to put me on strict bed rest untill the twins come. Criss how are we going to do this considering you're working and there's going to be nobody to look after Nathan since he's running around like a speed demon"I worried. Criss rubbed my legs. "We'll figure it maybe I'll see if Lynn can watch him some days and I can take some time off from Believe to watch him at night"Criss suggested. "Criss your show is on a hot streak you can't shut it down on certain nights you could burn out so to speak"I replied.

"Don't worry about me worry about those babies and keeping your blood pressure down," he stated and gave me a kiss. "Now I'm going to go to The Luxor and talk to Felix about maybe cutting some of the late night shows for a while". "Just go brush your teeth and change your clothes first"I suggested as Criss snickered. As Criss was opening the door to Serenity a taxi pulled up. The door opened and Criss's mom and my grandmother got out. "Mom Wilma what are you guys doing here" giving them hugs and kisses. "Lynn called and told me about my granddaughter so your mother and I decided to come down to help you with Nathan so Antonia can keep those twins inside her"Wilma replied. "I love you guys so much and remind me to send flowers to Lynn for this" Criss remarked. "Well why don't you grab our stuffs and bring them in and than you can drop us off at the hospital to see Antonia?"Wilma suggested. Criss smiled and went to get their luggage.

THANKS

At the hospital I was a little nervous if Felix would let Criss cut some of his shows. Considering Criss is bringing in more people to The Luxor than Carrot Top probably. Maybe I should call my grandmother to help me I thought than dropped it. My grandmother just retired from the bakery a few days ago I can't do that to her she should be going on cruises or enjoying her retirement considering she's been working there since I was born. The door opened and Criss walked in. "Christopher what are you doing back so soon?" giving him a kiss. "I had a surprise at my house and it's going to help us with the problem of you being on strict bed rest and watching after Nathan untill the twins are born" he said. "Criss don't tell me you called your mother that's asking too much of her considering she has to put up with some of the escapes you've done" as Criss rolled his eyes. "I swear you have to got to stop hanging around JD and Costa"he joked as I snickered.

"Maybe we should let your brothers help with Nathan"I suggested. "Let's not go that far neither of them are ready to deal with a kid like Nathan" as we chuckled. "All right enough of the jokes come on it"Criss called out and the door opened as my grandmother and Dimitra walked in. "Grandma Dimitra how did you find out" as they gave me a hug. "Lynn ratted us out but I would say in a good way" Criss replied. "Now don't worry sweetie about us or your son. You just take care of you and those twins that are in you"my grandmother stated. "I'm surprise you didn't bring dad with you"I said. "We want to keep those babies in not get them out" my grandmother remarked as Criss held in a laugh. "I'll let you ladies talk" and Criss started to leave but Dimitra closed the door. "Where are you going Christopher?" she asked. "I have to get to Believe mom"Criss stated. "Nice try but it's Monday Criss don't think we're going to do all the work while you hide behind your work tonight and tomorrow untill these twins are born you're going to help out with Nathan"My grandmother stated.

"But-". "No buts Christopher there will be no clubs or hanging out with your friend now why don't you get your son from JD before Lynn ends up adopting him"Dimitra replied. "All right" and he left. "And I thought you only used that on dad Grnadmom"I stated giggling. " I could of used you when they hit adolescent Wilma"Dimitra remarked as we all chuckled.

[RACHEL02189]

A month had past and I was on bed rest while my grandmother and Criss's mom helped out with help from Criss of course. At The Luxor Criss was getting ready for Believe when he started to get a sicken feeling. JD came in and saw Criss. "You all right?" he asked. "Yea I guess I'm just a little nervous about Antonia and how close she came with delivering the twins"he replied. "And I can tell you still are why don't you snick out the back and I'll tell the the crowd that the twins maybe coming"JD suggested. Criss took out his phone and called the house. At the house I was in bed watching television with Nathan when the phone rang. "Hello"I stated. "Antonia how are you?"he asked. "Good I'm watching television with Nathan. My grandmother is asleep and your mom is in the pool swimming"I replied. A knock came to the door and saw it was Dimitra.

"I thought I'd put Nathan to bed for you"she said. "I got Criss on the phone I think he's nervous"I whispered as I gave the phone to Dimitra. "Christopher don't worry everything is fine here just do your show and I'll see you in the morning"she stated. "All right mom thank you again for helping us out and tell Wilma the same thing" he remarked. "I will" and gave the phone back to me as she took Nathan. "Have a great night and I'll see you in the morning"I stated. "Allright and if the twins decide to come tonight just give JD a call and he'll pull me off stage"Criss said. "I will" and hung up. The next morning I woke up with Criss next to me with his hand on my stomach. I smiled as I pulled his hand away and got up. I went downstairs to get something to drink when I saw a note on the table. Took Nathan out for the day call if you us. I smiled but as I went back upstairs I got a sharp pain. "CHRISTOPHER!!!"I screamed. I tried to go up the stairs but the pain got worse so I slide down as water fell down the stairs. "CHRISTOPHER HELP!!!". Criss stired and saw I wasn't there. "Antonia"he said.

"CHRISTOPHER I NEED YOU!!!" I yelled as loud as I could. Criss grabbed his shirt and ran to the stairs where he saw me. "Get the phone and call for an amblunce the twins are coming fast!!". Criss went back into the room and grabbed the phone.

911: THIS IS 911 HOW MAY I HELP YOU

CRISS: YES I NEED AN AMBLUNCE TO **** ***** RIGHT AWAY MY WIFE IS IN LABOR WITH TWINS

911: ALL RIGHT SIR WE'LL GET THERE AS FAST AS WE CAN

"CHRISTOPHER I NEED YOU". Criss hung up on 911 and ran out and down the stairs. "I need to push"I replied. Criss went blank he didn't know what to do he wasn't a doctor and he'd never delivered a baby before. Criss was started to feel the same way he felt when Nathan was born and I could tell. "Christopher don't you pass out on me I need you to help me" I stated. I watched as Criss passed out and fell down the stairs. "You have got to be kidding me" I stated. I was on the stairs ready to give birth while my husband was on the floor knocked out like a boxer. Then the sliding door opened and my mother came in. "Mom"I remarked surprised to see her. "Just relax Antonia let me check Criss,". She propped Criss up who was out like a light. "Well he's going to be no help" as my mother came up the stairs. My mother saw one of the twins was crowning. "All right Antonia I need you to push hard". I pushed as hard as I could. "Hold on sweetie we got a cord wrapped".

She took out a switch blade and cut the cord. The baby came out crying its lung out. "It's a girl sweetie"she said smiling. My mom grabbed a towel that was outside and wrapped the baby in it. "She beautiful mommy" as tears fell down my face. "Can you get up so your next kid isn't born on the stairs?". I tried but I couldn't. "Oh god I think number two wants to join the party"I said. My mom took the first baby and laid her on the ground. "All right sweetie you got to push hard"she stated. "Can't too tired" I replied. "Honey look at me you can do it now push" she called out like a drill sergent. I could hear an amblunce coming as I pushed. When Dimitra and my grandmother got back they saw the amblunce and Criss sitting in one with an ice pack on his head. "Christopher what happened?" Dimitra asked. "Antonia had the twins and I passed out again hitting my head" he replied. "But who delivered the babies"my grandmother asked. The door opened as the paramedics came out and my mother too drying her hands.. "Nataliee"my grandmother said in shock. "Wilma oh my god" giving her a hug.

"Mom meet Natilee Antonia's mother"Criss stated. "You delivered the twins" Dimitra stated. "Yup the twins are fine and so is Antonia. How are you Criss" she asked. "With a slight case of embrassement and a headache I'm fine"he replied with a smirk on his face. "I'm going to go in and see Antonia"my grandmother remarked as Dimitra got Nathan out of the car. My mother smiled as Dimitra brought Nathan out.

[RACHEL02189]

Inside I was in bed holding one of the twins when my grandmother walked in. "Oh Antonia"she said. "Grandma" I replied as she came in. "How are you are the twns all right"she asked. "The girls are fine grandmom here why don't you hold one of them," giving her one as Criss walked in with the ice pack in his hand. "How your head Criss?"I asked as he sat on the bed. "Not bad I can't believe I did it again I'm getting such a case of dejavu"Criss replied. "What's her name?"my grandmother asked trying not to laugh at Criss's reply. "Well we wanted to honor both of our hertiage since Antonia is Italian and I'm Greek we picked two name each just incase and she is named Verida"Criss remarked getting up.

"Your father is going to do flips when he sees this baby" as a tear fall down her face. "And this is Zoey" Criss stated showing my grandmother. "They're beautiful" as my grandmother gave Criss a kiss. Them Dimitra and my mom came in. "Oh my god they are so beautiful reminds me of when you were a baby Christopher"she remarked as Criss gave her Zoey. "I got to say you two made the most georous kids that I've seen in a long time"my mom stated. Criss and I smiled as we looked at each other. "I should get Nathan and introduce him to his sisters"Criss suggested and went to get Nathan. "Before that happens this little one need a quick change"Dimitra said. "Let me help you Dimitra you might be a little rusty"my grandmother stated as I tried not to laugh. My grandmother gave me Verida and went with Dimitra. "Your grandmother is still funnier than ever. I'm surprise Nathan isn't talking is there something wrong with him" she asked.

"He's deaf mom doctors don't know if he'll ever talk but we've been teaching him sign language and he goes to a speech therpist every now and again"I stated. "Oh sweet heart I'm so sorry" she remarked. "It's not your fault mom the medication they gave him when he had that infection the dosage was high that it took almost all his hearing but we're learning how to deal with it as he is"I stated. Then Criss and Nathan came in. "Look Nathan that's your little sister Verida" Criss stated. "B-aa-bby"Nathan said. Our jaws fell to the floor. "Yes baby very good Nathan"my mom replied giving him a kiss. Criss put him down on the bed and he crawled over to me. He sat next to me as I showed him the baby. Dimitra and my grandmother came back with Zoey. "Did I just hear Nathan speak?" my grandmother inquired. "Yea he some what said baby"Criss replied. "I have to get a picture to show your father back home". Criss took Zoey as my grandmother went to get her camera. Back at home my father was checking his mail. "Come on Dennis I'd like to get home before my wife thinks I'm having an affair"my uncle called out. "Hold your horses just got one more email to check". When my father opened it he couldn't believe it. "Johnny come in here pronto!!!"my father called out. He came in. "What's up?". "Look it's from my mother".

"Oh my god look at Nathan and the babies they are adorable"my uncle stated. My father said nothing as he just looked at my mother smiling in the picture.

[RACHEL02189]

The next day while I was asleep Criss was on the phone with JD. "So they were delivered at home nice Criss" JD stated. "Do yo really think I planned to have a home birth. I guess the girls wanted out in the worest way" he remarked. "I heard you passed out again". "Don't remind me my head still hurts" Criss replied rubbing his head. "Well give my love to Antonia and I'll come over later to see the girls"he stated and hung up as my mother came down. "Verida is asleep and Zoey is changed". "Natilee can I speak with you for a minute?" Criss asked. They went outside. "What were you doing here yesterday Antonia told me you just came through the side door like the Phantom" Criss stated. "I came to see Antonia I hadn't seen her since that day and I missed your wedding-". "Antonia wanted you there but she didn't know where you were. Natilee if you're living on the street why don't you live here and help us with the twins and Nathan" Criss suggested. "It's a nice offer Criss but I don't know". "Natilee I want you to stay here not only for your grand children but for Antonia. I want her to have the same relantionship I have with my mom. Please Natilee" Criss asked.

"Let me think about Christopher". When they came in Dimitra walked in. "Where's Antonia and the twins?"she asked. "Zoey is in the playpin while her sister is sleeping like her mom"Criss replied. "I guess the twins were up half the night". "Most of it was for midnight snacks"Criss said as my mother playfully slapped him. "Very nice Christopher and why aren't you at work?" his mother inquired. "I took the day off to be with Antonia and the kids"Criss stated. "Where's Nathan I got him some sherbet for after dinner" putting it away. "Wilma took him to his speech therpy appointment they should be back soon" Natliee said. "Well I'm going to put on my bathing suit and go for a swim" Dimitra statedand started to walk up the stairs when one of the babies started to cry. "Sound like Zoey excuse me ladies" and Criss went upstairs. When he got there I was in the room feeding her.

"You are fast" Criss stated checking on Verida. "She woke me up like this last night how's our other girl". "Sleeping your mother put her down a few minutes ago and I asked her to move in here" Criss replied sitting next to me. "Why Christopher?" I asked. "Two reasons: One to get to know her grandchildren and two to get to know her daughter too" he replied smiling. I gave Criss a hug as Zoey burped. "Takes after her father"I said as Criss chuckled. Three months had passed and everything was working out. We finally got the twins on a schedule and Nathan was saying word but not complete sentences. My mother took Criss up on his offer and moved in with us and I got to say the first week with the twins she was a god send. That morning I was bed with the flu. "How you feeling?" he asked. "The same you shouldn't be near me you may get it too" I stated blowing my nose. "Please I've had Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and food poisoning I don't think the flu will kill me" feeling my forehead. "You're still pretty warm I want you to just take care of yourself and let your mother take care of the kids all right" Criss requested.

"Can you get me another blanket I'm cold" shivering a little. Criss took one of the blankets from the closet and put it on me. He gave me a kiss on the forehead and went downstairs to see Nathan having breakfast while the twins were playing on the carpet. "How's Antonia?". "Still the same but-". "But what Criss?" she asked. "I just think she has something else than the flu so if you can make an appointment to see a doctor I'd like that to put my mind at ease" Criss remarked. "Sure I know one that makes house calls now have a good day at work". Criss gave his childrens kisses and left. Around two Criss was in Believe when JD came in. Criss stopped and went over to his brother. "You never come in to interupt rehearsel unless something's wrong"Criss inquired. "Natilee called she needs you to come home it's about Antonia". Criss felt his heart drop into his stomach the tones in his brother's voice were the same tone he had when he called Criss to come home when his father got sick. Criss grabbed his coat and keys and left.

When he got home Natliee was outside smoking. She put out the ciragrette as Criss got out. "Natilee what's wrong?" Criss asked. "You were right about Antonia not having the flu. She has cancer". Criss felt like his legs were about to give away so lean against his car. "What type of cancer-PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE STOMACH CANCER. "Leukemia Criss stage two"she stated trying not to cry. "Is Antonia upstairs?". She nodded and Criss went in. Upstairs I was looking at the stars as Criss walked in. "I guess my mom told you". "Yea I can say that I'm happy it isn't the cancer that killed my dad" trying to lighten the mood. "Criss I'm scared I don't want to die" as tears fell down my face. "Don't worry sweetie I'm going to be here to help you"Criss stated. I turned to him. "Criss I know that but you have to make me a promise"I stated "What's that?" he asked. "Don't stop doing magic I don't want you to do what you did when your father got sick". "I promise Antonia" and hugged me as tears fell down our faces. That night Criss cancelled Believe and while I slept he looked out the window at all the stars.

STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT FIRST STAR I SEE TONIGHT
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS CANCER TAKE MY WIFE FROM ME OR HER CHILDREN

[RACHEL02189]

Back in New Jersey my father was sleeping when he heard the phone ringing. My father got up and answered it. "Hello" he said. "Did I wake you?". "Criss why the late night ring?" my father asked sitting down. "I had to tell you something and I know Antonia may kill me because of it but I think you need to know" Criss replied sitting in his office. "Criss you're giving me the chills what's wrong with my little girl?"he asked. "Antonia has be diagnosed with stage two Leukemia". My father nearly dropped the phone. "Dennis you there?,"Criss said. "Yea are they sure?" he asked. "They looked over the results twice she's got cancer" Criss remarked. "My god thanks for the heads up I'll let her grandmother know" and hung up. That morning my father had a meeting with my aunts, uncle, and my grandmother. "What's with the family meeting Dennis?"my Aunt Rosa inquired. "What I'm about to tell you is to remain between us nobody else needs to know" he stated. "Don't tell me Criss and Antonia are divorcing"My grandmother said reading to bite her nails.

"No I got a call from Criss late last night about Antonia she's be diagnosed as having stage two Leukemia". "Oh my god are they sure?" my uncle inquired. "Criss said they ran the test twice. Antonia didn't want us to know so no phone calls to her all right". "Is she going to need a bone marrow transplant?" my grandmother inquired. "Don't know so untill I get more information from Criss keep this to yourself all right". Everyone agreed and went to work. In Vegas Criss was working but mentally he couldn't stop thinking of his father and what he went through and wondered if I was heading that way too. "Criss" a voice called out bringing Criss back to reality. "Sorry what's up Costa"he inquired. "What's up with you. You're here physcally but mentally you're like in another world what's up you and Antonia having problems with the twins?" he asked. "No nothing's wrong excuse me" and Criss left. It's been a week since my cancer diagnosis. I asked Criss not tell anyone (I didn't know he had all ready told my dad). Downstairs Criss was feeding Zoey as my mom came down with some food she made for me. "She wasn't hungry"Criss said burpring Zoey.

"She took one look at the food and ran to the bathroom with her hand over her mouth" she replied. Criss put Zoey down on the blanket with Verida. "I just wish this was a dream I keep having flashbacks of my dad's battle with this disease" Criss stated sighing. My mother put her hands on his shoulders and assured him everything would be all right with me. "I hope so"Criss muttered. Then his phone went off so Criss picked it up as my mother put the food away. After Criss finished the call he muttered something under his breath. "I got to go". Criss gave his kids kisses and left.

[RACHEL02189]

When he got to The Luxor Criss saw his brothers, Felix, and Dave sitting in the production office waiting. Criss walked in and asked what was going on. "Please have a seat Christopher" Costa asked. Criss knew something was up considering Costa never calls him by his full name. "Criss we've noticed a change in you and it isn't good"JD stated. "You've be moody, leaving at a moment's notice, being defensive when we want to know where you're going or where you are" Dave said. "You've been late for Believe which is odd and you've like cancelled three Believe in a row" Felix added. "And you've become forgetful about appearances or filming schedules too"JD remarked. "What we're trying to say that are you on drugs or drinking too much"Costa asked.

Criss got up shocked at the allegations he was hearing from them "Wait a minute you staged an intervention because you think I'm on drugs or becoming an alcoholic" Criss replied. "And what about Antonia we haven't seen her since the twins were born and everytime we want to come over you say it isn't a good time or we meet you here" Costa stated. "Come on Criss doing something to Antonia that you don't want us to see". "Oh my god I just wanted some privacy at my house considering you guys show up with out warning sometimes"Criss replied defensively. "Than what about you being late you have never been late in your whole live even when you were born"JD stated. Criss headed for the door. "You know what I'm out of here this is stupid and I'm sorry I'm so perfect that I can't have some bad moments now leave me the alone" and opened the door. "Christopher if you leave you can forget our agreement" Felix called out standing up. Criss turned around. "You're going to fire me because of these accusations"Criss inquired shocked. "How about this Criss you take a drug test if it turns out you're clean than we'll drop this" Dave suggested. "All right just give me the cup you can even watch if you want to" Criss remarked with scarcism.

When Criss got back I was sitting outside and I could tell Criss was in a bad mood. "Criss you all right?" I asked walking over. "Just pist off my brothers, Felix, and Dave staged a intervention because of all the sneaking around I've been doing since your cancer diagnosis they thought I was on drugs or becoming an alcoholic. They even accused in their own way that I was hurting you. Then to make me even more angry they made me take a drug test or be fired from The Luxor"Criss remarked. I gave Criss a hug. "I'm sorry sweetie " I said. Criss gave me a kiss as my mom came in with Nathan. "I see someone's up how you feeling baby"she asked. "Good". Then one of the twins started to cry. "Looks like Verida up"Criss stated. "And you know Zoey will be up soon too. Nathan why don't you stay here with mommy while daddy and I go get the twins" putting him on the ground. Upstairs Criss and my mom were getting the twins when Criss heard something fall and Nathan crying. Criss put Zoey back into her crib and went to the foot of the stairs to see me on the floor out cold. "Oh my god Natliee call 911!!!"Criss called out as he ran downstairs

[RACHEL02189]

At The Luxor JD was walking past The Believe theater and saw a sign that said Believe has been cancelled and tickets would be refunded. "What the heck is going on here?" and called Criss but got his voice mail instead. "Christopher give me a call when you get this" and hung up as Felix walked over. "The results came back Criss isn't on drugs and where are the people for Believe the show starts in thirty minutes"Felix inquired. "He cancelled and I can't get a hold of him either"JD replied. "JD you figure out what the is going on with Criss or he may lose what he has here" and Felix walked off as Costa came over. "Felix looks pist". "He's beyond pist come on we're taking a trip to Serenity and find out what is going on with Criss" and they left. When they got there Jane was there with the twins and Nathan. "Jane where's Criss, Natilee and Antonia?" JD inquired. "I don't know Natilee was here when I arrived and informed me that I might have to stay the night than she left in a taxi with a suitcase" she remarked. "Do you know where she was going?" Costa inquired.

"I heard her say to the driver something about Saint Elizabeth's hospital"she replied. JD and Costa said good-bye and went to the car. "Saint Elizabeth is like ten miles away when LV General is probably a mile from here this isn't making any sense," JD stated than something hit JD like a lightning bolt "Wait a minute did she say Saint Elizabeth". "Yea why something click in your head" Costa inquired. "Yea Saint Elizabeth is a hospital that deals with cancer patients they're the best in Neveda Criss goes there to visit the sick kids that are admitted there" JD stated. "What you think Criss has-". "Not Criss Antonia must have cancer come on" and they left. At the hospital Criss was in my room just watching me sleep as my mother came in with coffee. "Christopher go home there's nothing you can do for Antonia right now" my mother stated. "I don't want to I want to be near my wife right now" he replied. "Criss why don't you tell your brothers and your boss about Antonia before you end up losing everything you have"my mother suggested.

"I can't Antonia promised me not to"Criss replied. "What are you going to tell your boss and your brother tomorrow about why you cancelled Believe tonight" she inquired. "I'll figure something out" and went out to the hall. Criss threw away the rest of the coffee and just sat there thinking. "Please dad don't take Antonia away from me"Criss prayed. As Criss sat there JD and Costa came around the corner and saw Criss sitting there. "I guess you were right Antonia does have cancer that's why Criss has been so forgetful and stuff. He's been surporting Antonia as much as he can"JD stated. "Come on let's get out of here before Criss sees us" and they left. That morning Criss came back to the house thankful that I was going to be all right. He walked in and the place was quiet too quiet. "Jane"Criss called out. "Shhhhhh Criss you'll wake the twins". Criss was surprise to see JD walking down the stairs. "JD-w-w-what are you doing here and where's Jane?" Criss inquired. "We sent her home" he replied going into the kitchen.
