So this is my first Glee fic. And I know that it seems like Emma is WAY out of character, but I just like to think about that it is more than 7 seven years from now and she has learnt how to deal with germs a LOT more. Thanks to Will of course! Oh and if my English isn't perfect it's because I'm from Holland and English isn't my first language. It'd be better if I just wrote it in Dutch, but I don't think many of you would understand it. Lol.
Anyway. Enjoy! And please let me know what you think. I'm already busy writing chapter 4 now, so at least in the beginning I will update soon. :)
Oh and. Last thing. I do not owe anything. Except for Amy and Katie, they are MINE! :P
Enjoy!

Chapter 1: An emotional day

Emma tried not to think about what happened six years ago. She tried so hard not to think about it, but she couldn't help it. Even though she tried, the events would still always be a part of her. She felt her eyes get teary and again tried to set her mind to something else. Even though her misophobia had gotten a lot better over the past six years, she still needed to clean sometimes. It helped her to be calm, to not think about that day to often and in times like this, when she was already thinking about it, it helped her to change her thoughts to something else. She looked around, looking for something in her living room she could clean. There was nothing.. She had cleaned everything during the day. She sighed and her mind began to wonder back to those thoughts she so desperately tried to avoid. It would be impossible for her to avoid it.. She missed them too much. She missed him too much.

That night Emma fell asleep at 5:30. She was exhausted. An hour later the door to her bedroom cracked open. Two little girls walked in and jumped onto Emma's bed.
'Mommy, mommy!' One of them shouted. 'Wake up, mommy!' They started to tickle her and in an instant Emma was wide awake.
'Yay! Mommy, do you know what day it is today? You do know, don't you?' The other one asked, staring at Emma with a questionable look on her face. Emma laughed a bit. Those girls always knew how to cheer her up, even if it wasn't even their intention.
'Yeah I know, sweetie. It's Sunday today.' Emma decided to tease them a little.
'Noooooo mommy!' Katie laughed. 'It's our birthday!'
Emma acted as if she were surprised. 'Really..? It is? I totally forgot about that!' When she saw her girls' faces she started to laugh. 'Go check the living room, I think there would be a present waiting for you there..' she said while winking at them. They jumped off the bed and ran to the living room, yelling exited.
Emma climbed out of bed and put on her slippers. She followed her girls into the living room, where she saw they had already unwrapped their present. She smiled. 'So, do you like it?' she asked. She knew they would, because they had shown her the doll house about twenty times during the lost month. She could still see them, in front of the shop pointing at the doll house and staring at it with big eyes.
The girls nodded and ran over to Emma to give her a huge hug. 'Thank you mommy! Thank you so much!' they said.
'You're welcome, honey.' Emma said to both of them with a smile. She enjoyed seeing her girls so happy, not even remembering the event that was still going through her mind.

The rest of the day the girls had so much fun. They were enjoying all the attention and presents they got. Emma couldn't help but feel proud of her girls and herself, but she also knew there was someone missing. Someone who they would have to be without for the rest of their lives.

That night, while Emma was cleaning the table she saw Katie and Amy looking at her. She turned her attention to them and smiled. 'You had a great day today, huh..?' She asked and her girls both nodded. Emma smiled again and turned her attention back to the table.
'Mom..?' Amy said.
'Yeah?' She turned around one more time and looked at Amy.
'Did you like today?' She asked after a short silence.
Emma saw that Amy and Katie were looking at each other and the look on their faces was a bit sad. She walked to them and sat down beside them at the sofa. 'I did.' She said. She smiled to convince her girls.
Amy looked up and climbed on Emma's lap. 'We missed dad today too..' She said while wrapping her small arms around Emma's neck. Katie looked down and Emma felt the tears come back, the ones she had been holding back for so long already. She just couldn't hold them in anymore.
'I know you did.. We all missed him, and we will always miss him..' Emma said softly while kissing her daughter softly on her temple. She let one arm slip around Katie's shoulders and pulled her close too. They sat there for a while, just the three of them. Remembering him..
