A few months went by and Criss was on cloud nine with Zeni and everyone could tell.  Costa on the other hand was having difficulty getting back into the dating world.  At the house Criss was having a birthday party for Costa when the door bell rang.  "I'll get it"Criss stated as he zoomed right in.  "Slow down hot shot before you break your legs"JD called out.  

He opened the door and Zeni was standing there with someone else.  "I hope you don't mind Criss I brought my sister Tamara or Tam as the family calls her".  "Nice to meet you Criss my sister has told me many good things about you"she remarked as she shook Criss's hand.  "I brought some Galaktoboureko (Greek custard pie or milk pie) for the party".  "Please come in".  Costa and Dimitra came in and saw what Tamara brought. 

"Galaktoboureko where did you find this?" Dimitra asked.  "I made it I love cooking" Tamara said.  "Everysince our father took us to Greece to meet some of his relatives my sister fell in love with culture, history, and the food"Zeni stated. "So you're both Greek?"Dimitra inquired.  "Half Greek".  Criss saw his mother's eyes lite up.  "I think you guys just won our mother's approval" Costa joked. 

"My father is the same way he wants us to marry a man with some Greek in him or he's out the door" Tamara stated.  "Well now I know I won't be rolled out of the house when I meet your father" Criss replied as everyone laughed.  As the cake was being passed around Criss saw the same look on Costa's face from when Criss started to crush on Zeni.  "Why don't we go outside and enjoy the night?" Costa suggested.  "I just need to do something excuse me". 

"Do you need help Christopher?".  "No but I'll yell if I need it" Criss said.  Outside everyone was enjoying themselves as Criss came back out.  "You all right?"JD inquired. "Yeah just needed to use the bathroom I see Costa and Tamara have been strike by cupid's arrow" Criss stated.  "I'm happy for my sister her last boyfriend didn't treat her with the respect you do to me.  It took her a lot of year to finally get away from him and I'm thankful she did".  "With what happened to Costa I think Tamara might be the woman Costa is looking for" Criss said.

As Zeni gave Criss a kiss she noticed Criss was clammy.  "Criss you all right you're all clammy and sweety".  "I think I just need-" Criss started to say until he grabbed his chest.  "Christopher Are you all right?".  "I feel like I'm having a heart attack"Criss replied.  "JD put him on the lounge chair I'm calling 9 11".  "I'm scared Zeni" he said as Zeni held his hand.  "It's going to be OK Criss" she said.  As he heard the sirens Criss started to lose consciousness. 

"Criss come on stay wake sweetie please"  At the hospital everyone was wondering what was going on including Zeni who couldn't sit still.  The doctor came out and everyone got up.  "How's my brother doc?" Costa asked.  "He's going to be fine it seems he developed a blood clot that broke off and went to his heart.  We cleaned out the clot and everything should be OK".  "Can we see him?".  "One at a time if you don't mind" he stated.  "Why don't you go first Zeni" Dimitra suggested.  "All right" and Zeni followed the nurse.
