DESTINY

Everything is Criss's world was starting to get back to abnormal as some people put it. At The Luxor Criss was working on some stuff when Destiny rolled in. "Hey Criss I was wondering when Johnny's plane was coming in Dimitra has been waiting for this for a while" she remarked. "Johnny's not coming I got a call from Shaunyl late last night he's got another fever". "Does she knows what causing these fevers". "She's taking him to the doctors today so she'll call me when she finds out tell Dimi I'm sorry" he said. "All right just keep me in the loop" and went back to work. When Destiny got home her father was making lunch for them.

"Mommy" Dimitra called out running over to her. "Hey sweetie" giving her a hug. "When Johnny?". "Aww baby he's not coming Johnny's too sick to fly Uncle Criss sayes he's sorry". Dimitra put on a frown. "I've got an idea how about after lunch you and I go to the card store and pick out a card to send to Johnny all right". Dimitra's frown turned into a smile. "Now go wash your hands for lunch" she stated. Dimitra walked off into the bathroom as Destiny's father sat down.

"She was so looking fowards to seeing Johnny" he remarked. "Yea Criss misses him too but Criss has some vacation time coming up he'll probably go down to see Johnny" she replied. "I have some money saved up maybe we can surprise Dimitra with a trip to Austerilla to see Johnny" he suggested. "We'll see dad". After Destiny and Dimitra sent the card out to Johnny they went home to get Dimitra ready for her nap while Destiny finished up some dishes the phone rang. "Hello hey Shaunyl how's Johnny-what slow down are they sure oh man have you told Criss yet-Shaunyl he has a right to know considering he's his father just take a breath and call him I'll make sure he's got family near by just incase all right sweetie call me" and hung up as her father came down.

"Dimitra's asleep what's the matter you look sad" sitting next to her. "Shaunyl just called upset they found out about Johnny's fevers he has Lukemenia" Destiny replied. "Does Christopher know?". "She's going to call him she's freaking out dad". "Who wouldn't be knowing your child has a disease that could take his life. Why don't you go see Criss he's going to need a friend and his family". "What about work dad?". "I'll call in say I have the flu they'll understand just go sweetie".

When Destiny got to the house she rolled in to see Criss looking outside. "Christopher" she remarked. "Oh hey Destiny I didn't hear you come in" wiping the tears from his face. "Shaunyl called me she told me Johnny's got cancer". "Yea I'm leaving tonight to be with him through his first treatment" he replied. "Christopher I'm so sorry about this but if he has the Sarantokas blood running through him he's going to be fine"she remarked. With out warning Criss fell to his knees and started to cry. Destiny got out of her wheelchair and slid herself over to him and hugged him assuring him Johnny was going to be all right
