Summary: After all that he's been through after all that he has done, he jut can't get rid of her. When Terri uttered those three words Will's world fell apart. The Glee club is falling apart with Kurt gone and so is his life. But what if all hope isn't lost what if just maybe things will cheer up with the upcoming Holiday.
Chapter 1. The News
"I am pregnant", she said. Why couldn't it be "I am moving" The one thing Will needed was the one thing he couldn't have. Terri is pregnant with his kid and there is no way on earth Emma would want to date him with all his 'baby momma drama'. Will sitting on the couch in his small apartment, with his ex standing across from him didn't want to move. He just wanted to rewind time.
"Will honey, now that I am pregnant we can be a family again, maybe I could move back in so that you can help take care of me and the baby, wouldn't that be nice?" Terri questioned.
"Are you sure it's mine?" He had to be sure.
"Yes, who else's would it be"
"Fine, but listen hear we take care of the baby as just split parents, you don't move in and I don't move in anywhere. We are free to date who we want, no commitments to each other unless it is involving the baby." Those were Will Schuester's ground rules because he knew that if he didn't establish them with someone like Terri, he would be doomed.
"Okay fair enough" She said in that sweet innocent little voice, with the brain of a very cunning woman behind it.
"We will work something out later but right now I have to get to work" He rushed out of there as fast as he could.
It was Friday, and after a long and rather disappointing day, Will had to prepare the kids for regional's after their win at sectionals.
"Okay so we need songs that are hits and that we can pull off. Any suggestions?"
"We should do a song by the Beatles, everyone loves the Beatles" Puck said.
"Great any other suggestions for the set list?"
"How about an aria for me to perform on stage?" None other than the Rachel Berry herself could propose such an idea.
"Listen Rachel although I am sure you would sing it beautifully, we have always been about the group and us all singing together, thats what won us sectionals over the Warblers, any other suggestions?"
"How about some by Beyonce, Bette Midler, and groups like Train, and Coldplay?" Artie suggested.
"Okay sounds good everyone I want you to go home this weekend find a group song you want to sing, either perform it for us, or play it if there is too many parts, in front of the class next week." Mr. Schuester said as he wrapped up the class period.
When Mr. Schuester left the Glee club discussed what just happened.
"You guys I am so sick of old songs, lets choose stuff like the Beatles, that we know is fun, never dies, and is fun and fresh. We want the judges to be excited not bored. Last year we had his favorite songs this year lets have our favorite songs that he will approve of", Puck suggested.
"Yeah then maybe we might win", Finn says.
"Totally, lets do it" Sam comments.
"Sound good but lets just not do anything t upset Mr. Schuester he already seemed out of sorts today anyway? Quinn warned.
"I know right he was so distant, like someone just died"
"See you guys on Monday" Tina said, as the rest of the Glee club exited the choir room.
Rachel Berry had an idea. As she walked to Ms. Pillsbury's office she thought about the good she was doing for the club.
"Ms. Pillsbury?" Rachel said.
"Yes Rachel come on in, is everything alright?"
"No actually, there is this friend and they have this burden on them that they seem to carry with them all day."
"Well Rachel I have heard the friend excuse enough what is this burden on your shoulders?' Emma thoughtfully asked.
"Oh no not me I mean Mr. Schuester, I knew that you were friends so I was hoping you could talk to him."
"Oh of course I will talk to him have a nice weekend Rachel"
"You too" Rachel said as she walked out the door.
Later hat day as Emma was packing up Will was heading out. "Will can you come hear please"
"Sure Em whats up?" Emma's former crush asked.
"Well I was just wondering is everything okay some people noticed you were distant today and kind of depressed so I was wondering if I could do anything" Emma asked with genuine concern.
"You know Em thanks so much for your concern but I am tired of loading my personal life on you especially when you might become part of it at times, thanks though, see you on Monday" Will stated, and left.
Emma sat there baffled by what just place, wondering whether to go after him or just sit there in defeat, she decided neither, and cleaned up for the day to head home to her romantic dinner with Carl.
Later at Will's house, Will was having dinner with Terri discussing the next course of action. They decided they would keep their living arrangements, but alternate days to care for the baby, he would be there at the birth. They would also split the cost. When all was decided they had sometime to catch up.
"It's just like old times isn't it Will?" Terri asked.
"Terri lets not do this it will never be like old times-"
Just when he said that the phone rang.
"I'll get it" Terri said as she got up.
"No Terri don't-"
"Hello? Hello?, huh no answer guess they hung up. You really need to get caller id on the kitchen phone Will so you can call them back"
"Yeah I am working on that but teachers salary doesn't really help that situation"
And they continued their dinner in silence, Terri left shortly after leaving Will to contemplate what his life would be like. No girlfriend (who wants to put up with a dad who slept with his ex wife after they were divorced?) Just as that though came to his mind the phone rang.
"Hello Will it's Holly Holiday I was wondering if you wanted to talk?" She asked.
Relief washed over Will to have someone to talk to "yeah sound great want to go get coffee?"
"Sure there is a Starbucks not far from Mckinley lets go the that one."
"Ok meet you there in fifteen minutes" and Will left to go and talk to a friend. But what he didn't know is that on the other side of that first phone call, the one where Terri picked up the phone was none other than the Emma Pillsbury herself, who was just wondering what was wrong with Will. All she knew was that a woman had picked up, not sure if it was Terri or Will's new girlfriend she knew she didn't want to find out.
