After Criss changed the crib sheets he put Angel to bed and went to clean up the bathroom.  The next day when Lynn woke up she came down to see Criss feeding Angel some Oatmeal.  "That's good now take a drink of the milk" as he gave her a Sippy cup.  After she took a drink she pulled it away with a funny face.  "I know it's strange tasting you'll get use to it". 

"This is adorable reminds me of when JD fed Dimitra" as Angel wanted down.  "All right" he said and took Angel out of the high chair.  As Criss brought the dishes to the sink Angel wanted to play.  "All right you want to play with blocks".  Angel nodded.   "All right but dada needs to use the bathroom so Lynn is going to play with you".  Tears started to fall down her face.  "It's all right sweetie daddy will be right back he swears" wiping the tears from her face. 

"Come on sweetie".  She let Lynn take her and they went to the floor as Criss got washed up.  As Criss walked to the bathroom he felt happy that Angel was starting to trust people including him. When Criss came back Lynn was doing the dishes.  "Where's Angel?" he asked.  "She's asleep in the play pin tell me something Criss why adopt a child like Angel" she inquired.  "I just have this connection with her.  When ever I'm around her I feel so happy like I'm floating". "Just the answer I wanted to hear Criss you've got such a big heart" and gave him a kiss on the check. 

The phone rang and Criss answered it.  "Hello oh hi Cindy how are you.  That's stink how about my warehouse I think she'd get over whelm by the sounds and lights of The Luxor so you have the address all right see you there" and hung up.  "Who's Cindy?" Lynn asked.  "I know that face and it's not that she's the lawyer that's helping me with the adoption.  She also Angel's guardin until I adopt her Cindy was going to pick up Angel to bring her back to the center but her car broke down so she's meeting me at the magic factory to pick her up". 

"Dada" Angel called out.  Criss turned around and saw Angel standing up in the playpen.  "Come here my little Angel you want to go for a ride".  Angel started jumping up and down which brought a smile to Lynn.  "All right let's pack a few things and we'll go".  At the music factory Doug was outside as Criss pulled up. "Hey Doug what you doing out here" Criss said closing his door.  "Needed some fresh air for a bit". 

Criss went to the back and took out Angel.  "There we go now you get to see where daddy works".  Angel held Criss's hand as they walked.  "Who's the cutie pie Criss you and Shaunyl have another kid".  "No this is Angel I'm adopting her Angel this is Doug one of daddy's friends".  "Hi sweetie".  Angel hid behind Criss's leg which made Criss chuckle.  "It's all right Doug". 

"She must be shy but she is a cute little girl" Doug remarked.  "Why don't we go in come on" and they went in.  In his office Criss was playing with Angel when Dave knocked on the door.  Criss signaled for him to come in and he did.  "Hey Criss is this Angel the girl you're adopting".  "Yea we had our first sleepover last night didn't we" Criss remarked as Angel smiled.
