Alex sets up the house and then leaves early to set up for his Christmas proposal and Emery's birthday gifts are under the tree along with her Christmas gifts and she had more than Alex.

Emery cooked up breakfast as she waited for him.

"Hey, Rosalie Merry Christmas!"

"Oh good while I have you on the phone. I have been wanting to know when is a good time to come by to give you your birthday gift for tomorrow?"

"Oh, you don't have to. Honestly, I don't want much other than for everyone to help each other."

"You have always been so cliche."
"Well I am pretty basic and to be with those that make me happy is the best gift ever."

"Come join us for Christmas Eve dinner."

"Alright! Can we bring anything?"

"Nope! Just yourself and I will have your present ready."

"Alright."

"Alex, just dress casual. We will be going to Rosalie's for dinner."

"Alright, I have to do an operation today and go in. I should be home in time for dinner."

"Ok."

"Love you!" He says and kissed her and heads to work.

Emery goes to Rosalie's and Claire goes with her.

"Hey, birthday girl!" Rosalie said as she entered outside.

"Where is Alex?"

"He is at work so I thought I would spend the day with you."

"Alright! Well, I have just the present for you."
Rosalie said and gives Emery a scrapbook.

"Rosalie this is perfect!"

"It is of all of us over these times."

"Thank you!"

"So how has it been being back home?"

"It's been pretty good!"

"You know I missed you."

"I missed you too Rosalie."

Emery and Rosalie and Claire played games together and Jürgen came in.

"Hey, Emery! Grateful you can join us for dinner! Happy Birthday tomorrow!"

"Thanks!"

They eat dinner and Alex comes in late them sits by Emery at the dinner table.

"What took you so long?"

"I had some last-minute stuff come up."

"I see."

"Say Emery do you like hiking?"

"You know I love the outdoors."

"Perfect let's hike together for Christmas Day!"

"Alright!"

Finally, they do cake and ice cream.

"Happy Birthday Em your time is here to shine. Happy happy birthday your day is better than rhymes. When we see you like this. You are here for a better and great night. Happy Happy birthday for the brighter day of you!" They sang to her

Emery smiles.

"Make a wish Em."

Emery closed her eyes and slowed out her candles.

They eat cake and she plays games with everyone.

Emery yawns and fell asleep.

Claire drives Emery's car home and Alex carries her to the car.

Alex drives her home and brings her to the guest room.

Then he stays up late going to the mountainside spot and decorates it.

*Hopefully this is perfect for her. It's not much. I just hope she likes it. She deserves a good birthday.*
Alex thought to himself.

"Alex do you need help with the setup?"

"Well, there is one thing. Can you drive Emery to meet me up at the mountainside?"

"Of course!"

"Now you will have to guide her after she is blindfolded and I will have her land in my arms and help her take it off."

"Dude, you planned this out."

"Well, Christmas is her birthday so I better make it count. You will also have Rosalie on this. Say you two were getting back on a hike and she left something up there and you need Emery to help y'all search for it."

"You have always been the planner Alex. We can do that!"

"Sweet!"

"See you tomorrow!"

"See you then!"

It can go well. Or so we hope.
