Everyone took a room and looked every where they could for baby Angel hoping she wasn't kidnapped by her parents who were out on bail pending sentencing.  In a room filled with donated clothes Criss looked in and saw a small foot sticking out from under a cloth. 

Criss got down on his knees and lightly pulled up the cloth to see Angel ready to cry.  "It's all right Angel I'm not your parents I'm not going to hurt you" Criss said in a kind voice.  The child looked at Criss than started to come out slowly.  She got up and walked to Criss stumbling a few times.  "Come on it's ok".  While this was going on the ladies appeared and watched as baby Angel walked right into Criss's waiting arms. 

Criss got up slowly and walked out with baby Angel in his arms.  "Criss I'm amazed Angel hasn't shown any emotion to anyone".  "And every time someone tried to pick her up she was started screaming bloody murder".  "I just have this knack with kids.  My brother JD would have me come over when his daughter wouldn't stop crying as a baby" Criss remarked. 

"Criss have you ever thought of adopting little Angel?". "Honestly I have thought about it but I'd have to run it by my family and get their vote on it" Criss stated.  "Well if you want to Criss I'd be happy to help you with the process" Cindy remarked.  "I'll hold you to that.  Now Angel I have to give you back to these nice ladies, but I'll come back to see you".  The child replied by beeping Criss's nose which made him smile.  When Criss got home he had this feeling he only felt when Johnny was born.  "Christopher is that you?". 

Criss turned around and saw his mother with his brothers in his living room.  "What's going on?" as Criss walks into the living room as everyone stood up.  "You tell us Christopher Mateo saw you leave the Luxor in a rush" JD remarked.  "And I get a call from Cindy asking me if you've made your mind up about Angel?". Time to let the cat out of the bag  Criss thought "Why don't you all sit down and I'll explain what's going on".  They all sit down and Criss takes a breath.
