Greenlee Smyth Lavery looked out the window to see snow all over the ground. She was in her home and was packing boxes. She found it strange to be packing boxes so close to Christmas. Greenlee was not very fond of Christmas. She never told anyone this though because she did not want to spoil others fun... At lease not during the holidays...

Suddenly her loving husband Ryan walked into the room with some tape. "Are you almost done with that box?"

Greenlee turned around. "Almost I cannot believe we have all these boxes.." Greenlee and Ryan had been packing for hours.

"I can you have way to many things!" Ryan laughed while saying this.

Greenlee was somewhat taken by this comment. "I have to many things? No, no you have to many things!" Greenlee explained.

Ryan continued to laugh as he thought of something. "You know the funny thing is that we are going to have to by twice as many things once we get to the new house."

Greenlee could not wait to move. "I really will not miss this house all that much."

"Really?" Ryan was somewhat shocked to hear that Greenlee would not miss the house all that much.

"Well it is just a house..." Greenlee explained to him. She was not one to attach herself to things like a house. A person such as a man? Sure but that's a completely different thing.

Ryan rolled his eyes. "Must you always be so cynical?" Honestly though Ryan loved that about Greenlee.

Greenlee smiled in only the way that Greenlee could smile. "What are you talking about?"

Ryan sat down next to Greenlee. "Anyways do you want to take a break?"

"No! I need to get this done I told the couple I rented the house to that we would be out of here by the end of the week." Greenlee for some reason liked that couple and made a promise to them. Sure it was sort of spur of the moment but it was a promise.

It was so unlike Greenlee to be nice to strangers. "Why would you agree to do it so quick to Christmas?" Ryan asked unsure.

Greenlee kept packing things. "Well because I want to. Plus this way I don't have to go to the batty ladies Christmas party and I have an excuse." Greenlee disliked Erica so much.

Ryan shook his head. "Wait I thought we were going?"

"Oh no. I said we might come if we were not busy. However as you can see we are busy." Greenlee was very sneaky like that.

"Well I think we should stop by seeing that we are moving on Monday. It might be the only time we get to see everyone." Ryan tried to explain.

Greenlee did not want to go. Sure Kendall would be their so it would be a little less depressing but she had no intention of being in the same room as Erica. Espcailly after what she did to her father. "Ryan we are just moving to a new town we will be closer to most of out friends than farther if anything."

Lizzie Spaulding sat in a chair in a hotel room in Pine Valley. This would be the first time in many years that she was away from her family for a holiday.

Bill her loving husband walked in from the other room where her two children were sleeping with a cell phone in his hand. "Your mother just called."

Lizzie put down her magazine and looked up smiling. "Oh how is she doing?"

Bill sat down on the bed. "She is doing fine. I told her about the house and she wants to come visit once we are settled." Bill knew how much Lizzie loved her family. It had not been the same since her grandfather's death several years ago.

"Oh I would love that so much! Oh the baby sitter is on her way. We have to go to Erica Kane's party!" Lizzie was invited the other day.

Bill was very interested in this party because he would be able to meet everyone who was anyone in the town. He was most interested to meet Adam Chandler. Bill wanted to do a sort of merging with Chandler Enterprises. "I cannot believe that you met the Erica Kane!"

Lizzie smiled. "I know! I cannot imagine anyone who could hate Erica Kane..."

"You will not believe some of the pictures that we have accumulated over the years. I don't know why we have so many of Erica..." Greenlee explained to Ryan as she went through a photo album.

Ryan rolled his eyes once again. "You know I cannot wait until you have your baby!" Ryan and Greenlee had been trying for several years. They thought that it was impossible for Greenlee to concieve.

Greenlee frowned. "Well let's not get our hopes up. I don't want you getting upset if something goes wrong." Even though Greenlee was now showing she still was afraid something could happen.

Ryan hugged Greenlee. "We should be more optimistic though!"

"When I start to show more then I will be ok." Greenlee was so excited when she started showing. It was the first time ever she was ok with being fat.

Ryan started laughing. "You hate looking fat though." Ryan knew that the moment she started to get hormonal she would refuse to eat or something. Greenlee was not a normal girl she would most likely crave not eating.

Greenlee did not care. "I will bare it out if it means I can finally have a baby!"

"Have you thought of any names?" Ryan asked.

Greenlee thought for a moment. "No I am not going to until it is born."

Ryan thought Greenlee would have already had a million names picked out. "Why is that?"

Greenlee frowned. "Just because."

Ryan decided that it was best if they changed the subject. "So how many more boxes do we have to pack anyway?"

"I think we are almost done. Do we really have to go to Erica's party though?" Greenlee asked.

Ryan laughed. "Can we just go for a minute Greenlee? It will not kill us."

She shrugged. Greenlee was not interested in this party but if Ryan really wanted to go she would. "Fine we can go. However you have to get up tomorrow morning to let the movers in."

"How did you get movers on Christmas day by the way?" Ryan wondered.

Greenlee looked around the room. "I have connections..."

Ryan laughed. "What kind of connections?"

Greenlee smiled. "The kind that gets things from Pine Valley to Llanview in less than thirty minutes on Christmas day!" Greenlee was not going to reveal her connections.

"You are just the queen of cynical. I love that about you though." Ryan really did. He loved everything about Greenlee.

"I just packed my crown!" Greenlee joked.

Lizzie put on her make up still not dressed yet for the party. "So where should we send Harlem to school?"

Bill was tying his tie. "Well the elementary school is supposed to be good."

Lizzie did not know about that. "Well what about private school though?" Lizzie had always went to private schools.

"Why private school?" Bill wondered.

Lizzie shrugged. "Well I mean we both went to private schools and we do want the best up bringing for our children don't we?"

Bill thought for a moment about it. "Of course we do but I think we should look at our options first."

'Well we can see what the public school is like but I don't know." Lizzie wanted this move to be a new start for them.

Bill did not know why she was worrying so much. "We can do that after New Year." He explained.

Lizzie almost forgot that all the schools were closed for the Christmas season. "Sounds like a plan!"

Bill just remembered something. "What are we going to do about Christmas presents?"

Lizzie of course had taken care of all that. "I am having them delivered to the hotel tonight while we are at the party and then we have the movers coming to the house at around nine tomorrow. So the tree will be all set up already."

"Where did you get movers on Christmas day anyway?" Bill asked.

"Greenlee has people I guess..." Lizzie did not question her when she had told her that.

Bill did not know about that Greenlee woman. "Does she seem difficult to you?"

Lizzie laughed. "Yes but in a good way I guess."

"What does she even do for a living?" Bill wondered.

Lizzie was done with her make up. "She owns a cosmetic company and half the hospital."

Bill started to laugh. "Do these people ever just do normal things? I mean what happened to being conservitive with money?"

"Well what do you mean by that?" Lizzie wondered.

Bill tried to say this the nicest way possible. "You and your family just love to spend money."

Lizzie started laughing hysterically. "Well come on it's nice to have it."

Bill did agree with her on that. Bill started to kiss Lizzie passionatly. "I think we should take another shower before the party."

Lizzie blushed. "I think you are right." The two of them ran to the bathroom.

Ryan looked at his watch. "Greenlee we should get ready for the party."

Greenlee put down the tape. "Oh must we?

Ryan hugged her. "Yes we must."

Greenlee rolled her eyes. "Fine what do I even wear?" She was not in the mood to get all dressed up for Erica.

"Well something festive would be nice." Ryan explained.

"All my good clothes are packed up though." Greenlee explained.

Ryan laughed. "Well then we are going to have to go to the store..." Ryan knew that Greenlee would like the idea to going to the store...
