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

*ELEVEN*

After Johnny was born, I was too busy to miss Crisstopher until I was asleep...but Johnny filled the emptiness I had, with a lot of help from my brother's Dc and Stoney...and my sister's Rachel and Dani...but now that Dc asked Dani to marry him, she was going to be my sister for real...which I thought was really sweet that my brother finally was getting married...and he couldn't have picked a better girl to marry.

Stoney and Rachel have been together for so long, they said they've been married for years already...the only difference was, that they didn't need a piece of paper to show everyone that they were...Stoney even gave her his ring, and he wore the ring that she got for him...Stoney just didn't believe in the whole wedding B.S....it was highly over-rated, and it always ended up in a huge shit-storm which ended up in divorce...so he told Rachel they were going to go around all that shit, and just be together forever instead...for as unorthodox as it was...she couldn't have agreed more to his idea...and so far it worked out perfect for them.

Stoney came out of the bathroom with his godson and handed him to me and said with pride, that his godson was now clean...and dry. I tickled my son under his chin and asked him if Uncle Stoney cleaned his tushy for him...one thing I loved about my son...he was always smiling and giggling, and cooing at everyone that wanted to meet him...he was such a good little boy. But he let me know that he was a hungry little boy too...I pulled my shirt over and held him close to me and he latched on and emptied the milk very quickly...I laughed at him and said someone was very hungry today...but when he couldn't get any more out...I switched him the other one, and he continued to eat until he was full.

Rachel came over as I snapped my shirt back up, and asked to burp him for me...I handed him to his aunt, and she held him and patted and rubbed his back up and down until he let out a few little burps...then when she thought he was done...he let a big one rip...Stoney touched his back and told him that was a real good one. Dc came in for his lunch break and Dani had it all ready for him...and he held his nephew while he ate, and told him in a few years he could have some of this good tasting food...Johnny just giggled and cooed at him, and kicked his legs a little...Dani came over and said he was such a happy little man...with very happy feet today. Before Dc left to back to work, he pulled out a stuffed bunny rabbit that he got for his nephew and laid it down next to his head then he kissed Dani and told everyone that he'd see us all later after work.

I got up and said it was someone's naptime...then I grabbed Johnny and his new fuzzy friend, and took him to my room and laid him in his bassinet, and turned his little music light on...he went to sleep instantly...then I headed downstairs and began to do my workout...so I could get my figure back...which I was doing good...especially with Dani, Rachel, and Stoney doing the workout with me...after my workout...I asked Dani to look after Johnny while I did my jog around the park...Rachel said she would go with me, but she had to do the shopping...so Stoney said he'd jog with me...for he didn't want me going alone...the whole time we were jogging I told him I had to find Crisstopher and tell him about his son...that it was really beginning to bother me...that Johnny needed his daddy in his life...Stoney stopped me and said he would do whatever he could to help me find Crisstopher...even if he had to go to Las Vegas and track the crazy bastard down himself...he would. I gave him a hug and told him that I just didn't want my son to be raised without him ever knowing his daddy...and that I missed him so much, and wanted him back in my arms, and in my life.

Later that evening while we were eating dinner, Stoney helped with the dishes then said to everyone that he was going to make a trip to Vegas and look for Crisstopher...but he'd be back as soon as he could...but every time he'd get ready to leave...something always happened to make him stay, like Johnny getting sick, and scaring me...then when I got a bout of the flu, and couldn't take care of Johnny, for I didn't want him to get it...then because he was taking care of me while Rachel and Dani took care of Johnny...I managed to get better, just to turn around and take care of him...it was terrible.

Eventually, Stoney forgot all about making the trip to Vegas and helped with Johnny...which at that moment I was glad that he did...for I needed his strength with me...days turned into weeks...weeks turned into months...and finally the months turned into years...Johnny was growing so fast, and he was no longer a little boy...he was my big boy...at two and a half years old...he was scampering about the house asking everyone what everything he saw was...and showing everyone that he could count, and read...I was amazed that Stoney actually taught him how to read...he was still a baby to me...but he was reading stories to me for naptime instead of me reading to him...he was a very sweet boy to have around...he was charming, very polite, quiet, intelligent, and I never had to get onto him, for he listened the first time someone told him it was an owie, or if it was bad to touch...and every day he looked more and more like his daddy...not to mention he had some of his other qualities as well...that he used on us more often than not...he always managed to talk us into letting him have his way...but for as sweet as he was...he definitely had his daddy's stubbornness...and his fearlessness...which kinda scared me every now and then.
