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

*TWENTY-SEVEN*

A year has now gone by, and Johnny just had his 4th birthday, and his cancer was still in total remission...Rachel was now very pregnant at almost 7 months in...the doctor's all said the baby would probably come out a little early...from all the signs she's been getting from the little guy...but she said humorously the sooner the better...for she really wanted to get her figure back as soon as possible...Klayton was excited about holding his little boy for the first time...and he's been overworking in the new nursery he was creating out of one of the spare rooms next to their bedroom...Criss went over and helped him a few times...but he's been spending more time with Johnny and me since we heard the great news about his remission.

Dani and Dc sent us family photos of their little girl Destiny, that was growing like a weed...and she had Dc's hair and eyes...but Dani's dainty figure...she was a real sweetie...and my parents spoiled her rotten...but still to this day, they haven't even called to see how Johnny was...or even asked for a picture of him...in a way I just sort of disowned my parents, and let them continue to believe that Johnny and I never existed...but like my hubby said, Johnny had all of us here in Vegas...and he didn't need my parents love or affection...as a matter of fact, when they sent me a family seasonal greeting card I just pitched it in the trash.

Johnny was in the back yard playing with some of his friends from school that always came to Serenity to play with him...I was like the den mother of the decade...all kids from his school wanted to be his friend and come to his house to play and spend the night...but it was all good, Criss and I were just so happy that our baby boy had friends...even though I had to send a few of them home, for making fun of him about his hair from his chemo...but Criss told Johnny to overlook it...that they were little kids and didn't understand...Johnny never felt no ill will toward anyone that made fun of him...and surprisingly it just made him stronger, and a better little boy...just like his daddy.

Johnny was always asking his uncle Klayton when his baby was going to come out and play...which Rachel and I thought was so cute...for he was always putting his stuffed bunny on her belly...to make his cousin want to come out sooner to play with it...Klayton and Rachel were having a little problem on picking out a name for their son soon to be...and when Sully came over to see Johnny and Criss...he'd always spout out the craziest names we ever heard, and Rachel would thank him for his advice, but she looked at Criss and me and shake her head no very quickly with a very silly look on her face.

Klayton thought that maybe Michael Klay Scott...or Kiefer Nicolas Scott...Rachel said she wasn't good at boy names...for she was hoping that it would have been a girl...but not this time...she said maybe further down the line they'd try again for a little girl...maybe. Lately, Criss was wanting to try again for another kid too...and he didn't care what it came out as...boy or girl...he wasn't picky at all...I told him that we had all the responsibility we needed with Johnny...until we were informed that the treatments worked, and out little boy was cancer free...then we could think about having another one...but he'd just pout about it...but I let him...for I knew if I got pregnant again, and found out that our new baby had some kind of problem...it would be way too much for me to handle.

But another year went by...and Johnny was still in remission...the doctor's all told us that if he made it to his seventh or eighth birthday...it would prove that the treatments were successful and Johnny would no longer need the treatments...I prayed for that day to come every day since he told us...Criss told me that he had a very good feeling that our little boy was going to survive, and outlive us all...I just told him I'd love to see that. Rachel finally delivered her little boy successfully, and he did come out just a month early...and Klayton decided to go with Kiefer Nicolas, just because it was more adorable to say...and because Criss and I helped think of it...beens Nicolas was Criss's middle name...he took it as an honor to have his godson named after him.

After Klayton's son was born...he surprised Rachel with a real wedding band and they had a private wedding with just the two of them with Criss, Johnny, and I as the witnesses...and made their union legal...I never seen such happy tears pour down Rachel's face...for she never thought Klayton would ever give into it, and legally wed her...and he did. It was now mine and Criss's anniversary...we've been married now for one year exactly and he wanted to take me on a second honeymoon...for the first one we spent at home taking care of Johnny because he was so sick...Klayton and Rachel volunteered to take care of Johnny until we got back...but then again so did Costa, Jd, Sully, and mama D...so Criss and I just left him with all of them and let them fight about who got to keep him first...and Johnny was eating it all up...they ended up splitting the three weeks up with each of them getting to take care of him in turn.

Criss and I went to Cabo, Mexico and spent two of the weeks there...which was the most sexually romantic time I ever had with my hubby...then for the last week he took me to Colorado...for he wanted to try out skiing with him...which really pissed him off a little bit, when he found out that I was just a little more graceful than he was...but he was more daring than I was...and he went all out for doing some aerial stunts...after many time of killing himself on them...he finally did the aerial jump then did a 360 perfectly...I told him how awesome it looked, then I ran him over and we both went rolling down the slope together entangled with each other...but he was laughing all the way down...knowing that I did it on purpose...but he managed to end up on top as usual...after hours of fun, I told him it was getting late, and I was frozen...so we both headed back to our cabin we were renting and warmed up with some hot cocoa, and snuggled next to the fireplace and called our son to see how he was doing and to tell him goodnight and that we would be home in a couple days...then we had our sexy fun time before snuggling up together and going to sleep.
