Hi all! R&R!

Thanks for reading!

It was a Thursday afternoon during lunch. Will had a lot of papers to correct and only an hour and a half to do so. Knowing he would get nothing done in the teachers' lounge, he decided he should stay in his class room and eat while he corrected. He heard a knock from the door. Will smiled in his head. It was Emma Pillsbury the school guidance counselor. Will was secretly obsessed with her. She was flawless in every way with the exception of her OCD but he didn't care much about that.

He would ask her out on the spot if there was nothing stopping him. But there was. She was married to a dentist named Carl Howell. They'd been married for about nine months and it killed Will on the inside. Carl had a nine month old daughter when they got married who was named Dianna. She was from his first marriage. Occasionally Emma brought Dianna to school with her when Carl wasn't able to pick her up from daycare on time or when Emma didn't have SAT Prep after school.

"Will?" Emma stood in his classroom door way, "Can you watch Dianna for me? I have some appointments this afternoon."Will nodded and took the one and a half year old from Emma. "Thank you so much" She handed him all of her daughter's bags and rushed off to her office to meet the first student.

Will sighed and looked at the little kid. "Want to help me correct quizzes?" She giggled and clapped. Will smiled and put her on the floor next to him with some toys as he corrected Spanish quizzes.

Will Schuester was falling for a woman. Hard. Problem was she was married and had a daughter from her husband's first marriage.

"Mr. Schue?" Mercedes and Tina were standing by his desk while Will was in his own dream land. "Mr. Schue?" Tina waved in his face.

He snapped out of it. "Sorry girls. What do you need?"

"Can you explain these infin-Oh my god! She's so cute!" Tina began before getting distracted by Dianna in the corner.

"Is she yours?" Mercedes asked.

Will shook his head. "She's Ms. Pillsbury's step-daughter."

"Her and the dentist have a kid?" Mercedes asked.

Will nodded. "She's from Mr. Howell's first marriage. Her name is Dianna."

Tina picked Dianna up and bounced her. "She's adorable!" Mercedes exclaimed. "Do you need any help Mr. Schue?"

"Actually yes, girls. Can you watch Dianna for me while I finish correcting these quizzes?"

Both girls nodded and played with Dianna for the rest of their free period until the bell rang. Will sent the girls to their next class and picked up all the toys the three took out. He walked Dianna back to Emma's office while getting a lot of "Awes" on the way down from high school girls.

Will stopped in Emma's office and found her sitting behind her desk teary eyed looking at a picture from her wedding.

"Em? Here's Di." Will spoke up getting her attention.

Emma looked up and quickly wiped her tears away. "Oh thanks so much, Will"

••••••••••••••••••••••••

He nodded and set Dianna down next to the desk. "Are you okay?" Emma shook her head. "Do you need a hug?" She nodded. He hugged her. "If you need me to watch Dianna again just let me know." He wondered why she didn't cringe or refuse the hug. He didn't want to upset her by asking what was wrong. He cared about her.

Emma walked up to Will's apartment and knocked on the door. It was almost 10:30. She hoped she wasn't calling for him too late. She was holding Dianna and her face was red with fury and also from crying. Will opened the door, "Emma?"

Emma took a deep breath "Can I come in?" Will nodded and stepped to the side so Emma could enter. She set the sleeping Dianna on the couch and turned to look at Will.

"Why're you here? What happened?"

Emma pushed her hair out of her face and took a deep breath. "I left Carl. He didn't want anything to do with me or his child so I left."

"Oh Em. I'm so sorry." Will said trying to be sympathetic. He looked at her closely. "Your face, did he?"

She nodded. "He hit me. He told me to get out and I didn't fight him. I took Dianna with me knowing if he didn't treat me right or care he wouldn't do the same for his daughter. I took what I could, threw my ring at him and left. I'm sorry to bother you so late, I had no where else to go."

Will shook his head. "It's fine. You can stay in the guest bedroom if you'd like."

Emma hugged him. "Thanks" She picked up Dianna and walked to the guest bedroom.

Will sat on the couch and took out a journal he kept. Before writing in it he whipped his phone out and dialed it.

"Carl, we need to talk."
