"So I am gonna have to be out of town for Christmas."

"What?! Why?!"

"I have some surgeries I have to do in other countries. There is one thing. If you want you can join me in the Netherlands this Christmas?"

"Wow, that sounds exciting! If I go with you would we even time to be with each other? How will we afford this?"

"Well my flight will be paid for and they will be willing to pay for yours too and will provide us a hotel. I know you like your space so I can make sure you get a separate hotel room."

"Alright! I'll go with you!"

"Perfect!"

"I guess it means Jürgen, Rosalie, and Karen will all do Christmas together. I am sure my mother would flip. Doesn't matter though because she is in prison."

"I wanted to check up on you and tell you the news on my day off."

"Well, I appreciate you coming. I should be home tomorrow after all the healing and I have to be on bed rest before getting back to work."

"You scared me Em, I thought I lost you for a second."

"Aw, you love me that much!" She says with a grin to Alex.

"Of course I do! Em, I would do anything for you!"

"Wow, you are my Prince Charming!"
Then Alex had a big grin on his face.

"I'm just glad I know who my Cinderella is. Makes it easy when you have clients prepared for you and their paper information in front of you. I wouldn't have figured out who you are otherwise."

"Dr.Evergreen, thank you for visiting it is time that she gets some rest now."

"Of course! I'll see you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow!"

Alex pressed a kiss on her forehead and left.

Luella is her nurse for the day.

"Now Em, you listen to me I hope things don't work out for you and I hope you go paralyzed. It shouldn't have been mom who went through a lot. It should have been you. If you could just be obedient to her then maybe I would appreciate you. Do you understand what I am saying?"

"Yes I do and you are so much like her! We should all have a choice what we want to do Luella and no one should be forced into doing something they don't want to do.

Especially grown adults. Might I recall it was mom who set me up with Thomas and you know how that marriage went? He abused me Luella which wasn't any different than mom attempting to.

I've learned to stick my ground and I am fond of you don't accept me as your sister. I am not afraid to die. My fiancé is afraid of me dying."

"Ok now get your sleep. If I see you awake you will get it."

"You know Alex can fire you if he sees you mistreat me."

"Well, the department has to take a big vote on it too."

"Well if they see how bad you treat your patients besides me then they will not hesitate to fire you. So I would be careful Luella if you want a job still. Must be hard trying to get money to free mom."

Luella left in fumes and Emery took a nap.

"Dr.Fogon you never told me Emery was going to be my patient today. I hate my sister."

"Well sorry all patients need help and if I see any bad behavior you are out."

"Yes, Doctor!"

*Alex I can't wait to see you soon. I don't think I can bear another day with Luella.*

Dr.Fogon checks up on Emery and Luella messed with her heartbeats and she is breathing fine the machine is off count. So he has someone fix it and they all fire Luella.

"Luella you are fired!"

"I'll go pack my stuff."

"Looks like I need to find a new head nurse."

Emery wakes up and has trouble breathing so they help her and she gasped and is fine again.

Rosalie works in her store and Restaurant and Jürgen helps her decorate it for Thanksgiving.

"Perfect! Ok now we need to put on our sale signs and Black Friday signs and we should be all good!"

"All done with that!"

"Sweet! Now we have some new dresses in the storage that needs to be on display and then we have the gadgets and old magazines too."

"Do you ever give yourself a break?"

"Nope! There is so much to do and I don't eat when I am anxious."

"Would you like to go tango night with me after?"

"After work yes. Not after these tasks."

"Alright!"

Alex goes star gazing after the day is done to take his mind off and Rosalie and Jürgen go dancing.

They accidentally enter themselves in a tango contest.

"Jürgen I thought you signed us up for swimming lessons. You didn't tell me it was a tango competition.

"Oh, right I just barely saw the fine print. Well, do you have your tango outfit then?"

"Yes, I am wearing my red dress."

*Unpredictable. This is terrible. Just terrible.*

Maybe things really will work?

Can Rosalie win the contest?
