(December 21st; The Goldman Residence)
Emmanuelle "Emmy" Goldman, 16 years of age is upstairs in her room, trying to ignore the stupid wedding arrangement part for her.
Ever since she turned 16, her parents made her come home from educational school, and go to etiquette school for girls instead.
Sitting on the bed, looking at a photo of her and her grandpa from 10 years ago. She has always been close with her mother's father. She caresses the photograph and says "you always have been my hero, grandpa," and begins crying.
It was 3 years ago when she started going to the educational school, but used to sneak out to go see her grandpa. After her parents found out about this, they forbid her from seeing him.
Emmy always loved Christmas but this year is going to stink, since she has to find a suitor by Christmas Eve and get married New Year's Eve and be with child within the New Year. She had to come up with a plan and quick but she didn't know what. Then suddenly it hit her like a bolt of lightning, but she would need some help.

William, Julia and Mary are celebrating the first day of Winter in the forest, sledding. William and Mary are at the top of a small hill; he sits on the sled with her on his lap.
"Ok, Mary, hold on"
They slide down on the hill with a big weeeee.
"smile" says Julia, as she takes a photo of them.
"good one. Man I am so glad you bought this for me, William."
"I am too, Julia. I just wanted to make Mary's first Christmas a very special one."
"me too. I know she won't remember any of this, but at least we have proof" she says and they kiss and Mary coos
"want to go again, but with mommy?"
"mama" Mary says with a smile
"I guess, that's our an…"
There interrupted by a scream
SCREAM
"what was that?" Julia asks
"I don't know? Uh, take Mary, I'll see what's going on."
William runs towards the shouting and screaming. Julia follows behind him with Mary in her arms.
