Inside the plane everyone was on pins and needles but for me my mind kept bringing me back to the vision of Criss and I talking about Nathan walking on the grass at Serenity while the family including my father and Criss's family watching as Criss chased after Nathan. When we landed an officer was waiting for us with a another car. We got off one by one and the officer walked over. "You must be the Sarantakos's " shaking our hands. "How's our brother?" JD inquired as I held onto Dimitra's hand. "He's good considering what the plane looked like. Criss did have some internal bleeding but he survived with just having his spleen removed" the officer remarked. "Do you know what caused the crash?" Costa inquired. "From what your brother said is that the pilot had a fatally heart attack. Why don't we get into the car and I'll take you to Christopher". We all got in and left.

At the hospital Criss was in bed asleep. In his dream he was marrying me and he could see Nathan in a little texudo with JD holding him with all the ushers. He saw his mother smiling with tears coming down his face. My father with the biggest smile on his face. "Christopher" a voice said. He opened his eyes and saw me. "Antonia"he replied. "Thank god you're all right Christopher I almost thought I was going to have raise Nathan on my own" touching his face. "While we were going down you were the last thing on my mind seeing you playing with Nathan in the back yard of Serenity" as tears fell down his face. I wiped his face and gave him a kiss. "Your mom and brothers are outside waiting I won the coin toss to go in first". Criss chuckled. "I love you Antonia" he stated as I went to the door. "I know Christopher now get better so we can get married"I replied and left.

The stars were aligned for Criss. After a few days of recovering from surgery Criss got to go home which made us want to jump for joy. At the entrance to the hospital Dimitra and I were waiting while I held Nathan who kept fidgeting like a worm. "Relaxing sweetie daddy will be out soon" I stated. The door opened and Criss came out in wheelchair but when he got out of it he walked over to us and gave us hugs. "It's so good to be out of there"Criss remarked. "It's just good you just lost your spleen and not your ability to walk" Dimitra replied as Nathan kept fidgeting. "Come here buddy" Criss stated and took Nathan. For some reason Nathan put his arm around Criss's neck like he was trying to give his father a hug. Dimitra smiled as I just stood there. "Why don't we get back to Serenity before JD and Costa decide to argue who will live there"Criss joked. When we got there JD was outside with Costa, Ayala, George, and the rest of the Mindfreak Crew. Criss got out and everyone gave him a hug.

"It's good to have you back Criss"George stated. "It's good to be back"he said. I took Nathan out and put him on the ground for a second while I helped Dimitra out. Nathan got up and started to walk to Criss which JD saw. "Antonia Criss turn around!!" he called out. We turned around and couldn't believe it. Criss got down on his knees and let Nathan walk into his arms. The crowd clapped with delight. "Now that's a welcome home gift" Criss said hugging Nathan. "Yea it was"I stated. That night after everyone left and I put Nathan to bed Criss and I went into the pool to spend some time together. When I came out I saw Criss just staring at The Luxor Light. "What's you thinking Criss?" I asked as I swam over. "I was thinking of the plane crash and how in those last few minutes before it crashed you and Nathan were on my mind and how I may never see you or him again or that I wouldn't see him grow up". "Believe me Christopher when JD told me about that the crash I thought of you and how Nathan would never see his father again" I remarked putting my hand on his shoulder. Criss smiled at me and gave me a kiss. "I love you"he stated. "I love you too Christopher" and kissed him back.

[RACHEL02189]

A few weeks went by and Criss was playing with Nathan in the back yard before he left for work. "Christopher come on you're going to be late for work" I called out. "Coming dear"Criss said coming in with Nathan. When he came in Criss gave me a kiss. "Ok buddy I'm going to put you in your high chair so you can have some breakfast" Criss stated. Nathan banged his fists on the tray which was his way of saying: GET ME OUT OF THIS THING. "Don't be so grumpy Nathan it's just untill you have breakfast than you can out" Nathan then put his thumb against his forehead and wiggled his fingers. "Antonia what is he saying?"Criss asked as he made the sign again. "He's saying dad Christopher" I replied. Then he put his thumb against his chin while wiggling his fingers. "And that?". "Mother" I stated. Criss smiled as he did the same sign again and again. "So he's saying mom and dad". "Or parents" I replied. Criss replied by signing good which I did too. Nathan smiled as Criss gave him a kiss on the forehead.

When Criss got to The Luxor JD was on the phone. "Yes mom everything is fine here. Nathan is doing great he's picking up the sign language like nothing else. I love you too bye mom" and hung up as Criss walked in. "You just miss mom Criss". Criss put his index finger up and his right one just twirled the top of it. "Criss speak I don't know sign language yet"JD said. "Sorry I'm just practicing I said when" Criss replied. "A few minutes ago and she's wondering if you and Antonia are ready for the wedding in two months"he replied. "Yes we were and a few weeks we're going down to visit Antonia's father to make plans for our wedding cake" Criss replied. The rest of the crew came in and the day began.

[RACHEL02189]

Before anyone knew the wedding day was two days away. Criss put up a bit of my family up at The Luxor while my grandmother and father stayed with us. At the house my grandmother, Dimitra, and my father were outside while Criss was chasing Nathan around. As I sat down and watched I realized that dream I kept having was coming true. After Criss caught Nathan my father walked over. "So you guys ready for the wedding?" he asked. "Yea it seems like we were planning it and now it's the day after tomorrow"Criss replied giving Nathan to my father. "Now I heard you have an episode to film tomorrow"Wilma stated. "Yes Criss is trying to get into the guiness book of world records by disappearing a hundred people"I said. "That's great I can't wait to see it tomorrow" my grandmother remarked. As I got up the world started to spin but Criss stead me before I fell.

"You all right Antonia?"he asked. "Yea just got up too fast excuse me" and went inside as Dimitra and my grandmother followed. I went into the kitchen to get some water as they came in. "Antonia are you sure you're all right?"Dimitra inquired. "Yes I just got a little dizzy that's all Dimitra". "Antonia Marsela Valestro you're hiding something" my grandmother replied. I turned around. "All right but keep your mouths shut I found out a month ago I'm pregnant"I stated. My grandmother and Dimitra looked ready to jump up and down. "Oh sweetie when are you going to tell Christopher?"Dimitra asked. "Tomorrow I have it all set and there's another surprise which I'm not telling you I want to surprise everyone" I remarked. "All right sweetie I can't believe Nathan is going to be a big brother"my grandmother stated. My grandmother looked ready to do a jig or something as they left the kitchen. Outside my father was talking to Criss when my mother and grandmother came out. "Is Antonia all right?"my father asked. "She's fine Dennis she just has the jitters about the wedding"Dimitra said sitting down. "All right I just don't want her to get cold feet"Criss replied. "Believe me Christopher she won't get cold feet"my grandmother replied.

[RACHEL02189]

The next day at The Luxor Criss was going over a few things with the lady from the world records as I came in with Nathan. Criss saw me and smiled as Nathan was clapping. "Excuse me" and Criss went over to us. "Hey Antonia what are you doing here I thought you'd be at the house going over the wedding details for tomorrow" giving me a kiss. "Nathan was getting cabin fever so I decided to take him for a walk before he went postal"I replied. Nathan held out his arm. You want to get out don't you,Criss signed. Nathan nodded. All right. Criss unbuckled him and picked him up as the world record lady walked over. "Well everything is right to the letter Christopher I can't wait to see this illusion in a while. Is this your fincee I noticed the picture in your office"she stated. "Antonia this is Kimberly she's from Guiness World Records". We shook hands. "Is this your son Nathan he's so cute" Kimberly remarked as Nathan stared at her with his hand in his mouth.

"Yes he is". "I'm going to use the ladies room so I'll see you in a while" and she left. "Criss before you bring the crowd in for the show I need to tell you something but I want to wait untill my dad, and your family gets here"I stated. "Sure what's up your sleeve baby"he asked. "You'll see". Then Criss made a face as he sniffed around. "Either we got a dead fish in the vents or Nathan needs a change". "Why don't you go change him before someone thinks there's a dead body somewhere"I suggested. Criss grabbed the diaper bag and went to the door as Luke came in. "Looks like someone needs a change or a bath" he replied. "And if you don't watch it Luke I'll hide the dirty diaper in your car" Criss joked. After Criss left Luke walked over. "You got the CD?" he asked. I went into my bag and took out the CD. "It's got the heart beats and the sonogram Criss is going to be blown away when he finds out" I stated.

[RACHEL02189]

When Criss came back his mother and his brothers with my grandmother and dad came in. "Look who I found in the artium"Criss remarked. "You magically brought them here Criss" I joked. Criss gave me a kiss. "Hey loverboy cool it down save something for the honeymoon" JD called out. "Do I need to get the hose on you two?" Costa added. "All right now what's this surprise you have for Criss I'm like on pins and needles dieing to know" My father remarked. "Hold your horses dad first I got to make sure it's ready" and went over to Luke who gave me a pair of earphones. "Put these on Criss". Criss gave Nathan to my grandmother and his hat to me. "All right now close your eyes and I want everyone else to be quiet". Criss lowered his head and closed his eyes. I pointed to Luke and the screen came on. As Criss listened to his children's heart beat I saw tears coming down his face. "Criss open your eyes"I remarked. He looked up as he opened his eyes to the television screen.

For once in Criss's life he just stood there. "There's more Criss". When JD saw what was on the screen he went behind Criss who looked ready to faint. "Say something Christopher"his mother said. "I-I-I- don't know what to say mom" Criss replied. "Criss you're going to be a father again to twins!!!"my father exclaimed. I walked over to Criss and took off the headphones. "Are you happy Christopher?" I asked looking into his eyes. He looked at me and nodded as he gave me a hug. Everyone clapped and cheered as Criss and I hugged. "I can't believe it twins". "I almost had a heart attack when the doctor showed me two heart beats I thought he was seeing doubles for a second there"I replied. After I spung the surprise Criss and his crew got ready for the episode. When the crowd came in Criss came out and welcomed everyone. "Before we start filming I have something to say. Before you guys came in my soon-to-be wife gave me a a surprise. She relieved in her own way that I'm going to be a father again-,". The crowd cheered and scream. "To twins". Everyone's mouth fell to the floor even his crew was stunned. In the back I blushed. "I can't believe he did that" My grandmother stated. "That's Christopher for you" Dimitra replied

[RACHEL02189]

That night Criss came back to the house to grab a few things before he left to stay at Costa's house. "You ready for tomorrow Christopher?"I asked. "Yes but I'm still feel like I'm floating with me getting into the Guiness book of world records and you telling me about the twins"he stated. "Consider it a wedding gift from my grandfather and your father"I replied. "Yea I'll see you tomorrow at the altar Mrs Sarantakos"Criss stated giving me a kiss. "See yea tomorrow" and Criss left. The next morning when I woke up everything was getting ready for the wedding. I went outside as they set up the chairs for the ceremony. I came back inside as my grandmother came back in with my wedding dress. "I got your wedding dress I hope it fits considering what we found out yesterday" she remarked. "Just put it in my room grandmom". She went upstairs as my father came in with Nathan in his stroller. "Oh daddy you didn't need to take Nathan out for a stroll" I stated. "Well I woke up and he was banging on his crib so I decided to take him on my walk and I think he enjoyed it" as Nathan smiled.

"Why don't you take a shower and take Nathan up to change his diaper"I suggested. "All right come on buddy" and they went upstairs. After they left my phone in my purse started to beep. I took it out and saw Criss was texting me.

CRISS: ANTONIA I MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BUT I KNOW THIS IS TEMPORARY UNTILL YOU'RE COMING DOWN THAT AISILE LOOKING WONDERFUL AS TEARS COME DOWN MY FACE

ANTONIA: OH CRISS. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S THE TWINS OR I HAVE BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU STANDING THERE AND WHEN THE PRIEST SAYES I NOW PRONUNCE YOU HUSBAND AND WIFE I CAN'T WAIT TO KISS YOU.

[RACHEL02189]

As the time for the wedding got closer I was getting jumpy. "Don't worry Antonia everything will be all right"my father stated. "I'm just jumpy or the twins are" as I chuckled. The door opened and Lynn walked in with the phone. "Antonia it's Criss". I took the phone. "I swear if you're pulling out-". "No I'm going to be late JD left his shoes at his house and my best man left the rings in his hotel room at The Luxor". "Hey just be thankful I remembered it now instead of at the altar" I heard in the background. "If you want to Lynn can drive back to the house to get the shoes to save you some time" I suggested. "No we're almost at the house so I'll be there I swear" and hung up. "What's up if he's pulling out he's going to buried next to Jimmy Hofa" my father stated. "Cool the jets dad JD forgot his shoes and his best man left the rings in his hotel room"I replied. "All right" and my father went to tell the people about the delay. Outside George was on the phone with JD. "You're on your way to the ER does Antonia know all right just make it fast" and hung up. When George turned around he saw my father. "Mr Valestro you spooked me" he said.

"George what's going on who's heading to the ER". "It's nothing sir"George replied. "George Antonia's happiness is number one today and if Criss is playing games because he's having second thought he's going to wish he never got involved with my family"my father declared. Before George could say a word Dimitra walked over. "Where's Christopher the wedding starts in an hour". "It seems someone in the groom's party is heading towards the ER while Christopher lied to my daughter. George here knows why now spill it before I explode with anger"my father remarked. "Come on George what's with the misdirection" Dimitra inquired as Lynn came over. "All right when the limo pulled up Criss bent down to pick up the ring he dropped but the limo driver wasn't paying attention and hit Criss with the door". "Why not tell my daughter the truth?"my father asked. "JD and Costa didn't want to get Antonia upset so they decided to pull some misdirection" George replied. "Oh my god is Criss all right?"Lynn asked. "They think he may of broken his nose"he replied. "Well let's just tell the people the lie and we don't tell Antonia the truth but when Criss gets here I want to talk to him"my father stated. "I'll join you with that conversion Dennis"Dimitra added

[RACHEL02189]

As I waited for Criss I wondered if I was getting misdirected. A knock came to the door and Lynn opened it and it was my dad telling me Criss was here and just need two minutes to get into position. I nodded as he closed the door. Downstairs on the other hand my grandmother and Dimitra were using some foundation powder to cover up some bruising around his eyes and nose. "Hold still Christopher" his mother stated. "And I thought my make-up artist for Believe was a pain in the butt"he muttered "There we go not bad maybe I should of become a makeup artist" my grandmother stated. "Let's get this wedding going before everyone leaves" my father suggested. Criss got into position and my father went to get me. As Criss stood there he was praying that nothing else would go wrong. I came down and Criss couldn't stop starring at me as my father walked me down. I got up and Criss took my hands. "You look like an angel"he stated. I blushed.

The wedding was going great untill I saw a drips of blood coming from Criss's nose. "Criss there's blood coming out of your nose"I whispered. Criss put his hand to his nose and he saw it was dripping blood. "Excuse me for a second. This is the worst time to get a nose bleed"Criss apologized. JD took him to the side. "Talk about great timing"JD said. "I don't care if I have to stick a tampon up my nose just stop it"Criss stated. "Let's go to the bathroom we may have to do that"JD muttered. I could tell Criss felt like he was ruining the day but sometime things happened. A few minutes later Criss came out with the bottom of his nose taped up like you would if you broke your nose. "Afterwards we're going to the hospital" I whispered as we finished. Criss and I were about to kiss when I started to feel sick. Not now please I uttered than it passed and we kissed. After the cermony everyone was talking as I pulled Criss to the side. "I'm so sorry about what happened just now I'm so embrassed"he apologized. "Criss I know you broke or banged your nose"I stated. I took a napkin and wiped Criss's face to see the bruises.

"How?". "I got a kneen eye for stuff now is your nose broking or badly bruised"I stated. "Broking I have to go back to have it set"Criss replied disappointed. "Criss have JD take you back to the hospital to get your nose set before you end up having a nose job later in life"I said. Criss smiled as my father came in. "Come on you guys you've got guest waiting for you". "Dad Criss has to go back to the hospital to get his nose set or it's going to heal wrong and end up with nose problems"I remarked. "I'm sorry to ruin this"Criss apologized. "No problem come on I'll drive you myself"my father said and they left.
