Christmas Proposal

Chapter 29: Christmas Proposal

*This is it. If this doesn't go well then I am giving her the worst birthday present.*

Alex dresses up nicely and hikes up the mountain and sets up.

Emery comes out and has changed into some overalls with her nice red flannel shirt and stands out where it is snowing and stands in it.

Emery gets her breakfast ready for her, Alex, and Claire and is wondering where everyone has gone to. So she eats alone.

*Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me.* She thinks very sadly to herself.

She goes to write in her journal and makes her dad's cookies and then visits his grave.

"Marry Christmas Dad! You know I miss you. I don't even know what I am doing with my life. Alex, I'm not sure if he loves me enough. I just don't know what to do."

"Em, you are brave and Alex will do the right thing it will work out."

"Dad, I can hear you? I miss you."

"I know. Alex is your new dream so make sure to reach for your dreams."

"I will."

Then he vanished and she cried.

"Emery, who are you talking to?"
She jumps and there was Jürgen and Rosalie.

"You scared me!"

"Sorry. We just got back from a hike and I lost something along the trail do you want to hike with us to find it?"

"Sure!"

They blindfold her and take her to the car.

"I don't think I can help you find it if I can't see."

"That's okay I am sure we can identify it with touch right Jürgen?"

"Yeah! It's pretty small. We are more likely to find it by touch."

"Well as long as we aren't in tight places I am should be fine."

"Thats my sis"

Alex stood nervously in the snow wondering if they got lost or not and along the way a deer stops them.

Jürgen honks the horn and they leave.

They park the car and help Emery walk up and as she comes up she falls into Alex's arms from her exhaustion and tired legs.

Rosalie and Jürgen were gone and it was just Alex and Emery. She breathed nervously.

"What is going?"

"Em, it's ya boy Alex."

"Hey!"

"I can't seem to take this blindfold off," she said needed help.

"That's okay, I can help you." He tucks her closely to him and kissed her, and had the blindfold in one hand.

Alex finally gets on one knee.

"You know I love how this day is also about you. Because Emery let me tell you.

Emery Warner from being that bright shiny sales girl to the determined physical therapist who I couldn't stop thinking of since the day I met you.

I have always loved the passion you have. Emery, you have been my world. Yes, I dated your sister. Look Emery I want to start my life with you. I'll never stop going to you. I've never felt so complete till I found you.

So there is some kind of special treatment I need your help with my life. Emery Grace Warner, will you be that better half of mine and become my beautiful brief by marrying me?" Alex said on one knee with his shiny diamond ring out.

Emery's mouth dropped.

"My golly yes yes yes! Holy cow yes!"

He grins and slips the ring on her finger and they kissed under the mistletoe.

"Emery you are all I want for Christmas."

"Well, this sure will be one memorable Christmas." She says with a smile and he helps her down.

Rosalie squeals and then they celebrate together and everyone opens their presents at the same time and they danced.

So maybe I wasn't going for a plan. Love isn't always on Christmas. I found the man of my dreams though maybe this life didn't turn out the exact fairytale I dreamed of.

Christmas did become rememberable.

"Thanks for the present Emery!"
"Of course!" She said and blushed hard which Alex brush off with a kiss.

"Close your eyes it's PG-13!" Claire said.

Alex laughs.

"You know Claire, so you will enjoy this. Besides if kissing is bad then PG movies with kissing are bad too."

"He does have a point," Jürgen says then kissed his wife.

Claire swirms grossed out.

So this was my Christmas miracle!
