The day was April 24, 2014, a day Emma Pillsbury-Schuester would never forget.
It was the day her firstborn son, Daniel Finn, came into the world. He was born with a full head of red hair and light green eyes. During his birth, his father, William and the nurse were present as Emma screamed and cried as she pushed through the pain.
At long last, he was born and the nurse placed him in his mother's arms. After the cord was cut, Emma and Will just stared in awe and amazement at the tiny creation they had made.
Will and Emma had decided to name their newborn son Daniel Finn Schuester, his middle name taken after a deceased former student who was also Will's best man and one who was dear to both his and Emma's hearts.
"Will, he's just so beautiful! He has your eyes!" Emma gushed, marveling at her son's green eyes.
Will kissed his wife and then kissed the top of Daniel's head. "And he has your beautiful hair color, honey," he said, chuckling a little.
Emma gave her husband a tired smile. "The most beautiful baby I think I've ever seen," she replied. She then giggled and gave her son a small boop on the nose.
"Yes, I do think you do!" she exclaimed in a tiny baby voice, making her husband smile.
Then, Emma and Will noticed something quite odd happen to their son.
Without warning, the baby's hair changed color. His hair went from red to blonde instantly, causing both of his parents to gasp in shock.
"Em, did you see that? His..his.. hair! Holy_" Will stammered, his face flushed white. He was at a loss for words. "What's wrong with the baby? Emma, we have to bring the nurse back! We have to make sure he's OK! He might be sick!"
It took all of Emma's self-control not to laugh. While she found her husband's deep concern for their son's well-being adorable, she wasn't exactly as concerned as he was because she knew exactly what was going on with their son.
She sighed inwardly. She had a feeling the day would come when her past would come and reveal itself into her future – she just didn't think it would reveal itself this way. I can't believe my son is a metamorphmagus, she thought in shock.
She was stunned because she knew metamorphmagi were rare so she didn't expect her son to be born one. If only he knew metamorphmagi were harmless then he wouldn't worry so much.
She stayed silent, wondering how she was going to tell her husband about who her son was. And more importantly, who she was.
Will noticed his wife's silence. "Emma? You don't seem too concerned about this," he remarked. "Our son's hair just turned blonde as if by magic and_"
Emma cut her husband off abruptly. "It changed by magic because he is magic," she said softly, a little hesitation in her voice. "And so am I."
