It's early and Emery is in her guest room when she hears a knock.
She opens the door and sees Emma and slams it and Alex comes by and opens it too.
"Alex good to see you. I'm sorry for all that happened with my mother. Can I see my sister Emery? I would like to apologize to her."
"You two are sisters? You never mentioned that! Emery never knew. Fine I will get her and you better leave. You are just messing with us!"
"Well, this is my birth record that says my mother is the same as Emery's."
He looked speechless.
"Emma, what are you doing here?"
"I'm just letting you know we are sisters. I am so sorry I have been trying to swoon for your boyfriend. Who by the way is pretty awesome and I know you two make a great couple. Good thing I got to know that side before you did."
"Well, that side I am going to be married to if things work towards that. I see you seem a lot like mother Emma. Goodbye."
Emma stops at the door.
"Emery I am so sorry for what I did to you. I am so sorry Mom mistreated you. I would like us to start from scratch on our relationship."
"Well, it's going to be awkward for Alex even more so if I married him considering his ex-girlfriend is my sister."
"I'll just come to see you when you are home. Plus if you need a place to stay a night or two before your wedding day come to my apartment and we can have you get ready there."
"I was planning on Rosalie's but thank you!"
"Of course! Emery, why don't we do a sister day at the movies and get caught up on the best things for us?"
"I would love that very much!"
*My boyfriend's ex-girlfriend is one of my sisters? This is so complicated and weird. I will still be with Alex. I am starting to get on my meet and would like to have my place again. Besides if we weren't to work out it would be weird to still live with him.*
Emery looks for a nice apartment and manages to find her own she can afford and moves out and leaves a note on Alex's door as he is out thinking she would be home to cook dinner.
"Emery?" He says as he opens the door and doesn't see anyone there.
Alex later reads the note and sighs.
*I guess it is for the better.*
Alex works on decorating his house for Christmas and prepares his park spot.
Emma calls Alex.
"I know how much you look at Emery the way you do. I was wondering if you would like my help to help her have the best Christmas? I know I don't deserve it. I see how happy she makes you and I am glad you have her."
"Thanks, Emma! We will see!"
"I named our son Oliver."
"Oh, awesome!"
"I am wondering if you could watch him tomorrow."
"Yeah, I can."
*Wow my Ex is Emery's sister. And she wants me to now see my son?*
Emery is at work and her coworkers wink at her when they see Alex at the building across from them.
"You know he is your type, Emery."
"Thanks, Sam!"
Emery works in her clinic and helps with her patients.
Emma has her check-up with Alex and he feels very awkward about it but helps her.
Rosalie works in her store and Jürgen comes by with his application.
"Say Rosalie do you have any plans tonight?"
"Not really. Why?"
"I was thinking maybe you would like to attend this Winter ball with me? It happens when Christmas gets closer and I was wondering if you would like to join me."
"Of course I would love to! When is that?"
"Well, it is going to happen this December so it will be December 10th."
"I would love that very much!"
"What day is it exactly?"
"Well, it is only October. This means Alex and Emery have been dating since June. No, they started in May. Wow, I can't honestly believe they have dated that long. I remember when they met in March and how she was not in the mood for dating."
"You are cute when you ramble."
She punches him very friendly.
"So what can I do for you?"
"Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?"
"Sure!"
He leaves the store and kissed Rosalie on the cheek.
Rosalie works hard in the restaurant and helps her guests and her father runs the shop for her. Her sister comes in to help with the restaurant. Her mother and father fight.
She goes off to prepare for her date.
She tries to look her best for their dinner and tries to be more formal. She puts on her dress and Emery was already there to help her so she opens the door and sees Jürgen.
"Hi, Jürgen!"
"Hi is Rosalie there?"
"She is and is just getting ready. Why don't you come inside?"
"Thank you!"
He walks inside and stands ready for Rosalie.
"Rosalie, you ready?"
"In a second. Um, how do I look?" She says with her hair all red done up in a nice messy bun with her nice navy dress with some pearls around.
"I say you look like a million bucks and much more." He tells her.
"Have fun!"
"We sure will."
He takes Rosalie's hand and helps her out.
Emery gets ready for her dinner with Alex and dresses up nicely.
Alex knocks on the door and she is dressed nicely and is wearing a nice golden dress and he is holding flowers.
"Wow! These are beautiful thank you! You must know carnations are my favorite." She tells him and Alex blushes.
They go to a restaurant and then they look at the stars.
"Emery, did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?"
"At least 7 times tonight."
He laughs.
She rests her head on his shoulder and he puts his arm around her.
*I long for moments like these often.*
