There were no reason to go into Dave's heart and clean it out. He was doing a lot better, although he spent five days in the hospital. The cardiologist concluded his heart attack was stress induced. Of course, Randi had thought, he owns his own practice and is a father of six. Dave had to rest more, change his diet, and change his exercise routine now.
He would do it. He wanted to be around to see Ireland win an Oscar. He wanted to be around to see Lyric open her own practice and see Sailor with a gold Olympic medal. He wanted to be around to see daisy play at Carnegie Hall and the Boys graduate high school.
"I want Christmas to be huge this year." Dave said as he snuggled into bed. Randi nodded.
"I plan on it. We have a lot to be thankful about." She said to him. Randi stared at her husband. They were together for nearly twelve years. He had changed so much. His hair had turned almost all grey now. He still had his wonderful six pack, but it had a little more insulation now. When they were started going together, he was very crude and rude. Now, he was mellow and loving. She couldn't imagine anyone else her husband.
"What are you staring at?" Dave frowned.
"I'm so happy you made it." Randi whispered, "I would have died without you."
"My ticker is still weak." He told her, "You need to keep on track." Randi nodded.
"I promise I will." She smiled, "Speaking of a huge Christmas, what are we going to do for Sailor's seventh birthday?" Dave shrugged. He wanted something special, but he didn't want to stress himself.
"Ice skating party?" He asked.
"That's her profession." Randi said, "She won't want to do that."
"It's Christmas. How about a huge Christmas party and birthday party rolled into one. You handle food, presents, decorations, and guests." Dave said. Randi smirked as she looked at him.
"I figured that's what you'd suggest." Randi said, "But that sounds good. We can have all our friends and family there."
"It sounds good to me." Dave said as Daisy walked into the room.
"Hey, Crazy. Why aren't you in bed?" Randi asked.
"I need to sleep with you guys." She said crawling into bed.
"Why do you need to sleep with us?" Dave chuckled pulling his daughter up to him.
"Because." Daisy said. "Can sonny and Audrey sleep over?"
"Audrey is only three months old. Sonny can though if you want." Randi told her daughter, "But he needs to sleep in his own sleeping bag."
"I know that." Daisy rolled her eyes, "I'll call him in the morning." Dave nodded and kissed her red curls.
"That sounds good to me." He said, "Why don't we try to get some sleep. Daddy is very tired." Daisy nodded and looked at Randi.
"Shut the light off." She said. Randi chuckled softly.
"Yes, Ma'am." She said as she reached over and turned the light off. Randi cuddled into bed with Dave and Daisy. Dave wrapped his arms around his two girls. All of this could have been gone so quickly. He could have been dead and missed all of this. He was very thankful he was still around.

Ireland sat in her trailer flipping through Soap Magazine. There were a couple of pictures in there of her…Horrible pictures. She tore them out and lay them on top of her scrapbook. A knock came upon her trailer's door.
"Come in, unless you're press." She said. Alex chuckled as he walked in.
"Just me." He said, glancing at her scrapbook, "Any new pictures of me in there?"
"One of you eating a hot dog." Ireland chuckled showing it to him. Alex grimaced as he sat down in front of her.
"Horrible." he muttered. She put the magazine down.
"You done with your homework?" She asked. Alex nodded.
"Yeah, I'm telling you Algebra sucks." he said. Ireland shook her head.
"It's really easy." She told him, "I'll show you some tricks sometime. It'll make the time in the school trailer bearable."
"Thanks." Alex said tickling her foot.
"Knock it off." Ireland kicked at him. Alex smiled putting his hands on her legs. Ireland bit her lips. Okay, Alex was incredible hot. She was very glad he was her love interest on the show.
"Landsie, can I ask you a question?" Alex asked. Ireland nodded pushing her brown hair off of her shoulder.
"Sure." She said. Alex turned his blue eyes up to her.
"Can I kiss you?" he asked. Ireland laughed softly.
"We've kissed hundreds of times." She said.
"On screen as Edward and Mandy." Alex said, moving his hands higher up on her legs, "But not at Alexander and Ireland."
"Oh lord." Ireland chuckled. "My dad will kill you."
"Your dad isn't here." Alex said. Ireland smirked.
"Thank god for that." She said with a nod, "Stop being a gentleman."
"Is that a yes?" Alex asked.
"It's a very big yes." Ireland whispered. Alex got onto his knees, not removing his hands from her legs.
"Good." He tilted his head up and pressed his lips to Ireland's. She slipped her eyes shut as They kiss. At first the kiss was very soft, just like their on screen kisses. Then…Then the kiss deepened. Their tongues danced together. Alex's hands tightened on her legs causing electricity Ireland had never felt before to course through her body. Ireland's hands slid across Alex's shoulders when someone knocked on the trailer door. They pulled away immediately.
"Ireland, you're needed on the set soon." The director said. Ireland licked her lips.
"All right. I'll be there." She said looking at Alex, "You'll be needed on the set soon too." Alex nodded getting up to his feet. He offered his hand to her. Ireland took it. If a photographer had caught them now, their fans would have really loved it. Ireland knew her family wouldn't have though.
