DESTINY

40

Before Costa and Destiny knew it their wedding was a few days away.  At a restaurant they were having their rehearsal dinner.  "This is nice place" Shaunyl stated as Criss escorted her in.  "Thanks for doing this Criss " Shaunyl said.  "They were going to have the rehearsal dinner at their house but a broken water pipe sent them scrambling for a place to temporarily live.  "I'm shocked that JD offered to have you, Costa, the twins and Dimitra living at his house"Criss remarked. 

"Lynn talked me into it since Dimitra moved out she has empty nest syndrome so I think having the kids around help her" JD replied.  "Is this why you're living in my spare bed room?"Criss asked as everyone laughed.   "He just can't take having the twins crying when they need to be changed or fed" Lynn said.  As everyone was laughing and talking little Dimi walked over and pulled on Criss's pants.  "What's up Dimitra Johnny throwing food at you?".  "He don't feel good" she remarked.  Criss got up as Destiny went with him. 

Criss found Johnny with his head to the side looking pale. "Hey Johnny what's up?".  Johnny said nothing but moaned a little.  "Criss he's very pale".  Criss put his hand on his forehead.  "He's warm to the touch Destiny I should take him home". "Criss I think he had an accident".  Criss caught a whiff of it as Shaunyl came over.  "Did Johnny have an accident?".  "Yea he's pale and warm to the touch.  I think we should take him to urgent care" Criss stated.  Shaunyl agreed and they left.  "Me did good?"Dimi asked. 

"Yea baby Johnny isn't well Uncle Criss and Aunt Shaunyl are going to have a doctor look at him" giving her a kiss on the check.  At the house Dimitra was reading a book as they came in.  "I'll put this munchkin to bed"Costa stated holding Didi in his arms.  "I'll help you Costa"Lynn remarked as Destiny went over to Dimitra.  "Why are you guys back so soon?". 

"Didi came over to the adult table tugged on Criss's pant leg and said Johnny don't feel well"JD said.  "He didn't look good at all.  He had an accident in his pants, he was pale and has a fever too"Destiny added.  "Poor sweetie have you heard anything from Criss or Shaunyl?".  "Nothing yet but with Johnny's health the littlest sniffle could end up being something bad"JD said. 

Around two in the morning as Costa and Destiny were sleeping Destiny woke up to hear Dimitra crying.  She got up and went into Dimitra's room where she was in bed crying.  "Baby what's wrong you have bad dream?".  "Tummy hurts". 

"You feel warm baby too" as Costa walked in.  "What wrong?".  "Dimitra doesn't feel good she's warm to the touch and her stomach hurts".  Then she threw up all over the bed and herself.  "I think she need to see a doctor Costa".  "Come on sweetie let's get cleaned up before we leave" Costa suggested.  As she got out of bed Destiny saw that Dimitra had an accident in bed.  "She's got diarrhea too"she replied. 

At the hospital Criss was wondering the halls as Shaunyl is asleep with Johnny.  As he went outside for air a car pulled up and Costa got out.  When he saw Criss he was shocked to see him.  "What are you doing here?"Criss inquired helping Costa with Destiny's wheelchair.  "Dimitra's sick she's got a fever of 103, stomach cramps, vomiting-".  "And serve diarrhea sound like what Johnny has" Criss replied. 

Criss brought the chair over as Costa got Dimitra out of the back.  "She threw up again" Costa called out.  "Sorry".  "It's all right sweetie" picking her up.  "Costa give me Didi and get the car washed before that smell stays in the car" Criss suggested. 

He passed her over gently to Criss and they went into the ER.  In one of the rooms Criss stayed with Destiny and Didi.  "Thanks for staying with me" Destiny stated.  "No problem and if Shaunyl needs me she'll call me I couldn't sleep anyway I've been roaming the halls for an hour" Criss replied. 

The doctor came in and was shocked to see Criss with her.  "Christopher don't tell me this little girl is yours too".  "No she's my brother's fiancée her daughter threw up in the car and I told him to clean it before the smell stayed in the car" Criss remarked.  "Good idea it took months before I got the smell of vomit out of my car so this is Dimitra I've read the work up on her and she defiantly has salmonella poisoning like your son Criss" she replied.  

Criss couldn't help but chuckle a little.  "Uncle Criss laughing"Dimitra pointed out.  Destiny elbowed him.  "Since Johnny and Did have the same strain we'll put them in the same room".  "Johnny is going to be happy to see Didi when he wakes up" Destiny stated.   When Shaunyl woke up Destiny rolled in.  "Destiny it's four in the morning what are you doing here?".  "It seems Dimitra has salmonella too so the doctor decided to put Dimitra in with Johnny since it's the same strain" she remarked as Criss came in with a barf bag.  "Criss don't tell me you've got salmonella too".  "No Dimitra was about to puke again but I grab a bag for her to vomit in" as he threw it in the trash.
