After two weeks in California Michael and Tracee were back in Manhattan, arriving around midnight at the penthouse

"Looks like Gail and Romeo are having fun" Tracee mentioned hearing music coming from Gails part of the penthouse down the stairs

"It's midnight, thankfully we don't have neighbors or they'd complain about it" Michael mentioned

"True, let's go say hi and tell them we're back in Manhattan" Tracee answered after putting her suitcase in the bedroom

"Are you sure the timing is good for that? I mean they could be busy" Michael mentioned

"Probably true, let's just invite them for breakfast tommorrow?" Tracee suggested

"That's probably better" Michael answered

"For now we'll just unpack this suitcases and I'll put the extra fabrics I brought with me in the big box to take to the office tommorrow" Tracee mentioned unzipping her suitcase and collected the laundry

"More fabrics? How much do you need?" Michael asked her

"You can't have too much fabrics, I've three new collections to make this year, priority is the fashion show in March, next is the teen mom collection I'd like to do before December and there's the winter collection for next year and a beginning for the summer collection next year I want a head start on" Tracee explained

"Yeah, not to be a negative person but, are you thinking of permanently moving to Manhattan or what? And not to mention what happened to taking some time off? Nine months maybe?" Michael mentioned

"I will take a entire year off when I'm pregnant but until then my only baby is fashion" Tracee replied

"And what happened to the romatic trip you'd promised to take after fashion week?" Michael asked

"We could still do the trip" Tracee shrugged her shoulders

"Good, cause I already booked it" Michael mentioned

"Oh, where are we going?" Tracee asked

"I'm not going to tell you, but it'll be beautiful that's all I can tell you right now" Michael replied

"At least tell me which continent it is, like Europe, Asia, the middle East or Africa?" Tracee tried

"Nope" Michael smiled

"It's Europe, right? Maybe Rome, we haven't been there for a holiday yet" Tracee mentioned

"I'm not telling you" Michael told her

"I'll find out" Tracee smiled

"Not from me" Michael smiled at her

"We'll see" Tracee mentioned

The next morning,

Tracee had invited Gail and Romeo for breakfast and was making breakfast at the moment while Michael was busy with his notepad, writing down some things and crossing them off again

"What you're doing?" Tracee asked hearing nothing but Michael crossing things off

"Nothing, just trying to make a schedule for the volunteers" Michael sighed

"Are there many?" Tracee asked

"Forty in total so far but some are only availbe one day week, others seven days a week a few only an afternoon or an morning, it's quite a puzzle to make it work for everyone" Michael answered
