"How is Jürgen doing?"

"Um better. They say he should wake up in a few days."

"Well, that is perfect!"

"Listen, Rosalie, how would you feel if I married your stepsister Emery?"

"That would be perfect! Wouldn't you have to get permission from her mother though, and my father?"

"Isn't it by whom she is close with?"

"I thought so."

"Rosalie, may I have your blessing to marry Emery and make her dream come true and propose to her on Christmas? We must keep it a secret from our parents when we do."

"Of course you have my blessing."

"Great! So happy to have you in the family!"

"Same here for you!"

"Do you think Renny will accept me?"

"He has to if you and Emery get married."

"Is Emery close to him at all?"

"That I am not sure. I barely even know him. Maybe not. That is something you might have to ask her."

"Ok. I just don't want to blow this."

"Alex, I am sure it will be perfect."

Rosalie sighs.

"I just want to know if Jürgen will be okay. I miss him every night at the house. I miss the laughter he brings and him putting up with the chick flicks and his sarcasm."

"I'm sure it will all turn right. Jürgen is strong."

"I hope so." She says in tears.

Alex hugs her.

*Come on Jürgen. I don't know if I can raise our child without you. I'm pregnant with your child since we have been married. The kids will want their father. You are my better half.* Rosalie thought to herself.

Rosalie goes to work and checks up on her store and it is a complete mess along with the restaurant.

She breaks down in tears.

*First Jürgen. Now, this?!* She thought to herself.

"Oh, Mrs.Evergreen so good to see you!" Isabella said to her a staff member at the cashier.

"What happened in here?!"

"Well....."

"Well, what?!"

"It seems we have been robbed."

"Seems?! We got robbed?!"

"Yes."

"Great all of our money in these buildings are gone just the amount that Emery and her father spent time and time on. Did you make a police report about this?"

"Oh no I am pretty new here I didn't know we were supposed to."

Rosalie scoffs.

"Seriously?! How hard is it to get a phone call through and say hey I have been robbed?"

"Not that hard."

"How long ago was this?"

"About an hour ago."

"Ok now go report this."

"Yes, Mrs.Evergreen."

"Thank you."

Rosalie rubs her forehead as she is stressed and has a headache and tries to work hard but is sick so she goes home to rest.

Maybe he will go through? Just maybe he will come through.
