"Angela! Are you all set?" Tony called up the stairs. I've got Matty and Bella all set in their car seats, and Jonathan has the car all loaded up. Hank and Sam have Marie in the car. It's so cute how excited she gets when she gets clicked into the car."

"I'm almost ready, honey. Be down in a sec," Angela called down from their bedroom.

"Okay, I'll let Mona know then."

"I can't believe today is here already, Tony." Mona said as she walked in from the kitchen.

"Oh hey, Mone. The kids are all set and Angela will be down soon. All set?"

"You bet! I can't wait to see those three cuties in their gowns!"

"Oh Mother, I wish that Nana was able to make it," Angela said as she came down the stairs.

"Yes, but Jonathan will take good video and pictures so that I can share with her when i go over to Scotland next week. Her surgery went well, and she's hoping to be here for the holidays later this year."

"I'm so glad that you'll get to spend some time with her, Mone. It'll be good that she'll have you there with her during her recovery."

"And I'll be back before Jack and Carol move so that I can help with the babies while Tony and Jonathan are gone too."

"No rush, Mother. Mrs. Rossini offered to come stay with us too. You just take care of Nana."

"All set now? Let's hit it, let's move it, let's do it!" Tony said as he carried Matty and Bella out to the van.

"What a beautiful day it is!" Angela gushed as they approached the church. "Oh look, it's Billy! I'm so glad that he and Mrs. Napoli were able to come today."

"Mrs. R brought them, She said that Billy wanted to come but Mrs. Napoli isn't able to drive with her bunion right now. She has surgery next week, so they've been staying near home," Tony said.

"That's right! I forgot about that. Does she need any help?"

"I think Mrs. R has it pretty well covered, but I can ask."

"Sounds good, honey. We should start heading inside."

Twenty minutes later, Hank and Samantha were up front with little Marie and her godparents, Bonnie and Jonathan. Tony took over the camera duties while Jonathan was up front. Marie squealed as the water was poured over her head which elicted giggles from Billy. Once she was christened, Tony and Angela went up with Bella and Matty, as well as their godparents, Eddie and Emily. They flew in a few days earlier with their children Sorrell, who was 2, and Alanna, who was 4. They were thrilled that Tony and Angela had asked them to be godparents!

"Okay Bella, it's your turn to get wet," Angela cooed to her daughter. As expected, Bella cried the instant the first drop hit her head. "Oh sweetie, Mama's got you sweet girl." At the sound of her mother's voice, Bella looked up and gurgled.

"Thankfully Matty loves water," Tony said. "Alright big guy, it's your turn," he said to his son. Matty giggled as the water splashed on him, and even tried to squirm out of Tony's arms to get into it. "Whoa, big fella, you stay right here!"

"These two are as different as night and day," Eddie whispered to Tony. "Kind of like my two over there."

"True, but they love being together," Tony whispered back.

"Everyone, please be seated," Father Dominic announced once the babies were fully christened and everyone was back in their seats.

Tony and Hank headed back up to the front. "We just wanted to thank everyone for celebrating the beginning of our childrens' and granddaughter's faith journeys with us," Tony began.

"While we are grateful to you all being here, we just wanted to take a moment to remember a special person who cannot be here," Hank continued.

"Without her, none of these babies, as well as my grown daughter, would be here."

"So in memory of Marie Theresa Milano Micelli, my beautiful wife's first mom, we dedicate this altar to her."

"Samantha, will you please join us in uncovering it?" Tony asked.

Tears streaming down her cheeks, she joined her husband and father and slowly uncovered the wooden altar. "Oh my! It's beautiful! Who? How? When?" was all she could say.

"Sammi, Hank and I spent time working on this together over the past couple of months. Joe helped us with some of the carving parts, so it was a team effort."

"Dad, I can't believe you did this! And honey, she would've loved you too!"

Although she knew about the altar, Angela hadn't yet seen it. "Oh Tony, you guys did an amazing job!" she gused.

"Yeah Dad, Mom is right. It turned out great," Jonathan piped in.

"Thank you al! If you could all join us in the parish hall we will have a luncheon for you there," Hank stated.

"Great lunch, Tony!" Carmella exclaimed.

"Yeah the hot dogs great!" Billy cheered.

"I'm glad you enjoyed them, buddy. And thanks Mrs. R for everything," Tony said.

"Uh Tony, can I borrow you for a minute?" Eddie asked.

"Sure. What's up?"

"So, Emily and I have been talking about this for a while, and since we're now expecting baby number three..."

"EEEEKKKK!" squealed Angela as she ran to Emily.

"...we've decided to move back to the East Coast, and we'd be honored if you and Angela would be Sorrell's and Alanna's godparents, and for the new baby as well."

"We'd be honored! When are you moving back?" Tony asked.

"Oh my gosh! Emily, Eddie, how exciting! Yes, I'd love to be their godmother!" Angela exclaimed.

"We're looking to be back here by mid-August, so that Alanna can be settled in for kindergarten," Emily said.

"Oh that's right! Her birthday is in a few weeks. What can we do to help?" asked Angela.

"Do you know of any homes for sale in Fairfield?"

"Really? Actually I think there's one up on the market two blocks from us!"

"Uh, sorry Mom, but that one was just sold," Hank interjected,

"The one on Willow Lane?"

"Yep, that's the one."

"Wait, I just saw the For Sale sign on Friday."

"It actually says Offer Pending now Mom," Sam said.

"Wait a second, how do you know that? I saw the sign just changed this morning when I was out for my run," Tony stated. "Hold up a second, are you two the buyers? Did my baby buy a house?"

"Yes Dad, we did! Remember the account Nana had set up for Marie..."

"Yeahm what about it?"

"Well, she did a little more than that. She felt that since Jonathan, Matty, and Bella also had accounts, that she would also like to do something for me as well. And since I'm past 18, she gave me the option of how I wanted the money."

"And..."

"She knew from Mona that we were saving for a house, so she offered to contribute towards that. Otherwise I could've put it straight into the bank."

"So she gave you a down payment?"

"Actually, she ended up almost paying for the whole house."

"How much did she give you?"

"$150,000 Dad."

"What?!"

"Actually honey, that's the amount that she's contributing for all of the kids, Tony. Jonathan's is a little smaller as she'd sent him money previously, but he's saved most of it anyway," Angela stated.

"Whoa! That's great kids!"

"So when are you moving?" Angela inquired.

"Well, Mom, we have the closing in three weeks, then we'll get the keys!" Sam said excitedly.
