DESTINY

14

As the months went by Criss was happy and his crew could tell.  At Serenity Shaunyl was wrapping some gifts as Criss came in.  "Hey Shaunyl " giving her a kiss.  "Hey Criss".  "How's the little one doing?" he asked.  "Active little fella I have something for you consider it an early Christmas gift" handing him an envelope.  Criss opened it up and it was a sonogram picture but at the bottom in blue letter it said: IT'S A BOY.  "Are you serious?" he asked.  "If you notice his little wewe right there I think it's a boy" she remarked. 

Criss gave Shaunyl a hug as tears started to fall down his face.  "Are you happy?".  "Yea my mother may get off my back about marrying you when she finds out her first grandson's coming" Criss remarked.  "I saw Destiny and I think there's something wrong with her and Mitch" she remarked.  "What do you mean?".  "She didn't look happy Destiny looked like she's ready to cry and I haven't seen Mitch in a few days" Shaunyl replied.  "I'll go talk to her" and Criss left. 

When Criss got to her house he saw a for sale sign in the yard.  He knocked on the door and it opened.  "Destiny where are you?" he called out.  He went outside to see Destiny looking at the sky line.  Criss walked over and put his hand on her shoulder.  "What are you doing here Criss you should be with Shaunyl ?" not turning around. 

"Something wrong Destiny I can tell and so can Shaunyl what's wrong did you and Mitch have a fight".  "A few nights ago a detective came to the house looking for Mitch he told me that he's real name is Derek Furlong wanted in connections of killing his wife for the life insurance.  The detective even told me he had a policy for me he even showed to me.  I told him where he could find Mitch but he was gone with all my money I'm broke". 

Criss walked around to look her in the eyes.  "Christopher what am I going to do I can't raise this baby on my own I should just give it up". 
"Destiny if you need help I'll give you the money to keep living in this house" Criss suggested.  "I can't take money from you Criss how would I pay it back".  "Consider it an early Christmas gift Destiny you were there for me when my dad passed away and helped me when I wanted to give up on my magic".  

"Thanks Criss" she said smiling.  "Beside I want my son to meet his aunt Destiny"Criss stated with a giggle.  "Shaunyl's having a boy congratulation Criss," giving him a huge hug.  "I have a little secret too I'm having a little girl and I want her to get to know her uncle Christopher" smiling.    A few days passed and it was Christmas Eve.

Criss invited everyone down to celebrate his mother even stop talking about marriage between him and Shaunyl which made Criss's birthday wish come true.  "So have you picked up names for the baby Christopher?" his mother asked.  "How about Christopher JR" as Christopher and Shaunyl chuckled.  "Cute Costa real cute no we've decided to name him Johnny for dad" Criss replied.  Everyone smiled as a knock came to the door Costa went to get it and saw it was Destiny. "Hey Destiny you just missed Criss's announcement about the baby" he said.  "I'm guessing a boy and named after your father" she replied as Costa chuckled. 

"Hey Costa how about letting Destiny in" Criss called out.  Destiny rolled in and everyone gave her hugs and kisses.  "Merry Christmas Eve Destiny"JD stated.  "Same to you guys I know Criss made his announcement about his child to be so I thought since you guys are my second family I'd like to announce that I'm having a girl".  

"That's wonderful Destiny your mother would be so happy to hear that"Dimitra replied.  "That's why her name is going to be Dimitra Tali the two women in my life who I love" she stated.  Dimitra walked over and gave Destiny a hug as tears fell down her face.  "Destiny I have a present for you" Criss said. 

"What's that Criss?".  "Close your eyes" he said.  She closed her eyes as Criss came out with Destiny's father.  He put him in front of  her and stepped away.  "All right open them".  When she saw her father she started to cry as she hugged him.  "Daddy what are you doing here I thought the doctor wouldn't let you fly?".  "Criss invited me out and I heard about Mitch I saw it on the news so I've decided that I'm going to move out here and help you raise my granddaughter" as he wiped the tears from her face. 

"I'd love that daddy thank you".  "I'd like to make a toast"Criss remarked.  Everyone turned to Criss as he held his glass up here.  "To the future as two little children arriving soon will grow in the loving families I have around me this day so: *Για μια υπέροχη Χριστούγεννα και το νέο έτος γεμάτη με νέα πνοή και νέες περιπέτειες, να απολαύσετε .  Everyone said cheers as Destiny and Criss smiled at each other
