Christmas Proposal

Chapter 6: Renegades

Emery works on her house to sell it and then applies for a hospital to work at.

"Mrs. Summers or shall we call you Miss Warner?"

"Miss Warner is fine." She tells them.

"We would like to interview with you this week on Thursday. Does that work for you?"

"Yeah, that should work!" She tells them.

"Alright, we will see you Thursday at 1 pm."

"See you then!" She tells them and is so excited about the job opening.

Alex gets interviewed gets the job right on the spot.

He is so excited and told Emery the news.

"So how is the house coming?"

"Alright. I was a bit distracted because I have a physical therapist job interview this Thursday afternoon!"

"Emery that is exciting!!!"

"So how did your interview go?"

"Pretty good! I got my doctor job!" He tells her.

"Oh my gosh, that is way exciting!"

"I know! I am so excited for you to move me with me. I have it even baby proof."

"About that, I have been considering letting Rosalie adopt him when I can."

"Oh, I am sorry to hear that."

"It's for the best. Besides she would be a better mom than me."

"Well I know you would make an excellent mother one day." He tells her. "Emery, would you like to go to dinner with me tonight, and then I can give you a tour of my place?"

"I would love that!"

Thomas works in production and then helps his kids.

His kids all become deathly ill and he takes care of them and they all die. He cries saddened by this.

He calls in sick and doesn't want to do anything.

One of Thomas's coworkers goes to Emery.

"Mrs.Summers. I am here to tell you your Ex-husband has just lost his children. He wants you at their funeral."

"No, I won't go because those were his kids with the other wives. He committed bigamy which is against this law and I won't allow any of it in my life again. Sorry for his loss."

Thomas goes to Emery's door and takes her hand.

"Emery I'm ready to start a life with you. I don't think we have to get remarried we do just say we are married and then our vows are renewed. I remember that day when I first met you on a blind date."

"I was a fool then. So naive."

"Emery, will you reconsider me? We can have our life together again. I want to be in our son's life. With his birth mother."
"You are an addict Thomas and you just like using people and I am one to not be used for anything. Sorry I made arrangements to stay at my boyfriend's place."

Alex stops by and sees Thomas holding Emery's hand and he shoves Thomas.

"Hands off her! Get out of our life! You are an idiot and she needs a man to treat her right and you just want to manipulate her. Her dad would hate you too if he was here!" He yells at Thomas and he gets away.

"Emery did he hurt you or abuse you because if he did then I will report him to the cops."

"He did try to touch me. I'm just glad you are here Alex. I almost fell for his acts again." She said to him.

"Well, I wanted to bring you lunch."

"Thank you!"

He kissed her and she kissed back.

"Alex, could you help me with packing these things so they can be show-ready?"

"Of course!" He tells her.

Alex helps her pack and his ex-girlfriend comes to meet him and kissed him and Emery was gone off to moving her stuff.

"Alex I am ready for another chance. I know we broke up 3 months ago. I'm pregnant with your son Alex and I can't do this without you. They needed their father." Emma told him.

"Then why did you lie to me about it? You know Emma I am done with your games. Emery is so much better than you have been. I should get back to my girlfriend."

"Well, she seems pretty mad now the fact I kissed you."

"Go away, Emma!"

Emery is out crying.

*I should not have given in. He went for another girl besides me. I can't believe he is cheating on me like Thomas. I know two idiots now.*

"Emery wait!"

"Nice one.."

"I don't want to be in your life!"

He says and pushes her away and Emery has everything moved out and ready for the house to be sold and she drives off before Alex could stop her.

She heads to Rosalie's and cries.

"Rosalie I am so stupid. He has another girl and he is cheating on me."

"That is terrible of him. Okay, why don't you stay with me at least till you can get settled on your feet."

"Thank you!"

Alex calls Rosalie.

"Hi! You jerk! Emery is not here and thanks to you!"

"Rosalie, that was my ex-girlfriend who I won't go back to. I promise to make it right to her."

"Well she is at my place and she doesn't want to talk to you."

"I'm on my way then!"

"Em, he is coming to us."

"Tell him to go away."

"I'll try I don't think he will budge. You need to give him a chance to explain."

"I will try. Can't say I am in the mood."  She says and eats her ice cream of cookie dough and said it very sarcastically.

"Well, you eventually can't stall forever you will need to let him talk it out if he were to tell you the truth. I heard his side Emery and it was a lot like yours and your ex-husband. Though his ex-girlfriend would be perfect for Thomas they seem to be the same personality or very alike. Well, good luck!"

"No Rosalie."

Rosalie opens the door and Alex is there. She runs to fix her hair and face and comes to him.

"Emery I know what you saw and that is my ex-girlfriend that I will never go back to. She was manipulating and I dated her for a bit."

"How do I know you will not manipulate me?"

"I have no desire to manipulate you. I hate it and I want my world around you."

"Yeah, and people manipulate me with that. I can't trust you. Goodbye Alex."

"I'm sorry Emery I am. I promise to not do that to you."

He leaves and Emery heads to her room.

Whatever else would happen?
