*LOVE CONQUER'S ALL* (Criss Angel Story)

*EIGHT*

Even after hearing my brother telling me that...I couldn't actually believe it...but then I put my hands on my tummy, and just closed my eyes...and in my heart, I felt it...I told Dc that I needed to call him and tell him...Dc stopped me when I reached for my phone and said he already tried calling his house phone...the line was turned off...then I instantly grabbed the phone and called Rachel...after the third time I finally got a hold of her, and asked her if she was around Crisstopher...that I really needed to talk to him...but Rachel remained silent, then Stoney grabbed the phone and told me that he didn't live here anymore...he couldn't stand being without me, so some scout came looking for new talent, and saw Crisstopher's show, and talked him into moving to Las Vegas, and even gave him a contract for 10 years to be the main attraction at some new Casino that just went up recently.

I tried to fathom what Stoney was telling me...and told him alright, then asked him if he had his new phone number...but he said no one did...for Crisstopher wanted to leave all his past in the past...for it was too much for him to handle...and beens everytime he called my dad, and he hung up with him every time...he just gave up...I couldn't even wait to get off the phone to start crying...I told him to take care of Rachel for me...then I told them both that I loved and missed them both so much...then hung up the phone. After that, I fell back in my bed and grabbed Dc's hand very tightly and told him that he no longer lives in Long Island, that he moved to Vegas...so he could try to forget about me...for the pain was too much for him to handle...Dc wrapped his arms around me, and told me everything was going to be ok...then he asked me what I was going to do about the bullet...I didn't even hesitate when I told him I was keeping it...for now, I had something to live for...and it was a part of my Crisstopher and me together...that this baby was proof of how strong our love was for each other...

Dc said that was all fine, but what was I going to say about it when our mom and dad found out...I looked directly at my big brother and said the same thing I told him...and then I added that I was hoping my big brother would be in my corner on this...he kissed my forehead and said always...then he went into the kitchen and made me something to eat...and when he came back he helped me eat the last two bites I couldn't finish...then he asked me if I had a name in mind for it...I told him rather quickly that if it was a girl, her name was going to be Demi, after Crisstopher's mom...and if it was a boy...it would be Johnny Crisstopher...after his dad and him.

Dc said I was really head over hills in love with him...even naming the baby after his family instead of after ours...but he added that they were both perfect names. I told him that I was going to need his help through this...he said he would always be there for me...but since we moved to Los Angeles...he did find a new love interest...her name was Danielle, but we all learned to call her Dani...she was very nice, and I made friends with her...and it filled a little bit of the great emptiness I had for my best friend Rachel, and Stoney...but nothing filled the huge hole in my heart for my Love for Crisstopher...I still cried myself to sleep every night wishing that he was with me.

The months went by very quickly after hearing that from my brother...and when I became 3 months pregnant...it was becoming noticeable...but I couldn't believe that my parents were so wrapped up in their own personal lifestyles that they didn't even notice me until I was 4 and a half months pregnant...when they finally got the hint...they both blew head gaskets...and I just blew them both off, and said if they would have paid half-ass attention to me instead of having their own heads up their own asses that they would have known a long time ago...but luckily now it was too late for an abortion...and I was having and keeping my baby no matter what either of them said...and now I had Dc and his girlfriend Dani behind me...for she was my nurse from the hospital...and she volunteered to help me...beens I was a young first time mom...and her boyfriend's little sister...and her new best friend.

I really liked the position I was in...and beens I was under California laws now...my parents couldn't make me give my baby up...that I had every right to keep it if I wanted too...and I wanted to more than anything...especially when I saw him for the first time through the sonogram, and was told that it was a little boy...and Dc and Dani were right there with me...but I didn't leave my bestie's out...I made Rachel and Stoney the godparents of him when I sent them the sonogram images of him...Rachel called me and was so ecstatic she couldn't believe it...then she said to make sure I send lots of pictures and to let her and Stoney both know when I was almost ready to pop the little rascal out...so she could pack her and Stoney up, and make the trip out there to see him...after all they were the godparents...so they needed to be there for the special day...I kissed to them both through the phone and told them I would let them know...then I asked them if they had any word from Crisstopher...Stoney said not a word...then I told them both bye, and hung up.

I smiled at Dc and Dani, and told them that Rachel and Stoney were going to make the trip out here to see me when it was time for Johnny to be born...then they helped me off the bench and back into my clothes...but instead of taking me home to the stressful environment of our parents arguing with me constantly...Dani let me stay in her extra room...and Dc stayed with her too...so he could be with his two favorite girls...for he promised he would always be there for me, and he wasn't about to break his promise to me now...especially since the closer to the delivery date I became the worse my nightmares became about my Crisstopher...and my longing for him really put me in a very depressed state.
