A change of ...understudy required ..xx

Hello my lovely readers and thank you for reading, this is my Second Fanfiction I hope you enjoy it. Unfortunately I DO NOT own the flawlessness that is Glee, forever wishing I did. This was inspired by an idea I had after watching the " I feel pretty" scene in Westside story . So let's head back in time to the days of West side story at Mikenly High.

Chapter one

"Honey, do you need another tissue?" Will chuckled looking down at the sobbing women in his arms. Slowly she nodded her head snuggling closer to him letting out a sigh. He leaned over and took the half empty box of tissues from the table at the side of the sofa. "Here you go" he said passing them to her, kissing her lightly on the top of the head. "Thank you Sweetie" she sniffed looking up at him .Will couldn't help but smile when she did this. She was truly perfect. In that moment, with the two of them together snuggled up on the sofa she had never looked so beautiful. So real. Rings of Mascara framed her eyes , black trails left from the tears that had rolled down her cheeks .Taking a tissue from the box Will gently dabbed at her eyes , transforming them back to their original Bambi like cuteness from the equally adorable panda eyes they had become . Emma gave him a sweet smile letting him know that she appreciated his kind actions before taking a tissue from the box and blowing her nose rather loudly, making Will laugh .

"Baby it's only a movie" he said. Emma blushed at his words before giggling, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. This had become a regular occurrence each time the couple watched this movie Emma became a blubbering wreck. She couldn't help it though , she loved it so much ; west side story was a classic and a personal favourite of hers. "Sorry" she giggled. Will took her hand so that he could look her in the eye "don't be" he smiled "I think its cute "he confessed a smile playing on his lips although his words were sincere, he honestly thought she was the most adorable creature that had ever graced the planet. Once again Emma blushed before replying . "I think you're cute" she whispered before pecking him lovingly on the lips. "Why thank you" he grinned kissing her just as lovingly however this kiss was longer and more passionate than the short, sweet kiss they had just shared. Emma rested her hands on Will's muscular chest, his hands stroking her back slowly through her cotton cardigan. When their kiss came to an End both had dreamy smiles on their faces their eyes full of love for the person gazing back at them. Emma moved slightly so that her head was resting on his chest listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. "Will?" she whispered her hand placed on the spot above his heart "Yeah?" he answered?" I love you" slowly Emma could feel the steady beat of Will's heart speed up beating faster and harder than it was before those three words were spoken . "I love you too Em" he replied placing a tender, lingering kiss into her soft hair. Emma sighed happily as Will felt her lips turn into a smile.

"So how was your day?" Emma asked after a short while of comfortable silence."Ok I suppose" Will replied. "Just ok?" Emma questioned lifting her head up to look at him before moving so that she was sat upright. "Well" Will sighed, sitting up himself and pulling her into his lap. "It was just really busy that's all, two of my classes had tests today so I have all the marking for those , then there's Glee. Rachel keeps bugging me about this year's musical of course insisting she play the lead. I honestly don't know what to do I mean Rocky Horror was just a ploy to impress you ..." Emma smiled " and come to think of it wasn't the most appropriate choice , I can't have sue on my back again after the grief we got from her last time " Emma sighed in thought absentmindedly starting to play with Wills fingers . After a few moments of contemplation Emma spoke. "Well" she said a matter of factly "as far as grading your papers is concerned why don't you do that now? , is only seven thirty and we haven't had dinner yet so I'll go and make some and by the time you're finished it will be ready and then together we can figure out what to do about the musical " Will smiled " you're so great" he told her kissing her on the end of the nose . Emma blushed. "So what would you like?" she asked " I can make lasagne if you like , I know how much you enjoyed it last time" she smiled as she remembered the last time she had made that particular meal for Will resulting in him having source all around his mouth and down his self proclaimed "butt chin" . "Mmm that would be great Em "Will said smiling. "then its decided" Emma announced standing up " lasagne it is" she picked up the box of tissues that had fallen on the floor before walking past Will kissing him on the forehead as she did so . "Marking mister "she said in mock authority before continuing to walk towards the kitchen Will watching her as she went a grin on his face.

When she had disappeared into the kitchen Will turned off the TV and went to fetch his brown leather messenger bag from the small closet by the front door. Sitting back down on the sofa Will set to work, taking the papers out of his bag and putting on his glasses. Paper after paper. Disappointment after disappointment. These kids just weren't getting it; he'd have to think of a new strategy to get the information across to them. I'll be needing a sombrero . Will thought to himself nodding as he marked the next test paper.

Meanwhile in the kitchen clad in a frilly pinafore Emma put the freshly made lasagne into the spotless oven. Sighing happily she set to work at cleaning the surfaces of the kitchen and any equipment she had used in the preparation of the meal. When everything was clean and put away she stood in thought. Which would be best, salad or vegetables? "Salad or veg? Salad or veg?" she wondered out loud. She popped her head around the door and looked into the living room. "Will?" she said "yeah Em?" he answered looking up at her his glasses falling down his nose slightly. She smiled "salad or veg ?" she asked. "up to you babe" he replied smiling back at her . She scrunched up her nose as she thought about what she wanted to have. "Salad?" she questioned. "Perfect" he said winking before returning to the paper he was grading . Emma smiled watching him for a while before turning and going back into the kitchen. Opening up the fridge Emma took out everything she needed for the salad . Tomatoes , cumber just a few of the ingredients she pulled from the plastic draws . Taking out a knife from the wooden block she began to chop the various ingredients washing them thourally of course and placing them neatly on the two plates she had taken from the cupboard earlier.

Will had nearly finished grading the papers with two left to finish off. Luckily the last two students seemed to have grasped the concept fairly well however this didn't come as a surprise to Will, it was Rachel and Santanna after all . Rachel always strived in everything she did and Santanna already spoke the language fluently. Having marked each of the papers giving each of them high praise Will packed away the papers and set his glasses on the coffee table in the centre of the room. He then proceeded to return his bag to its home in the closet before walking into the kitchen. Entering the kitchen Will was met by a delicious smell that filled the air around him "mmm". Emma turned around at the noise and smiled. "Oh hey" she said cheerily. "It should be done in around five minuets. "Great" Will replied. " it smells gorgeous" he continued a short while later . "Why thank you" Emma said opening up the oven, oven mitts covering her hands. She's so cute , Will thought to himself as he watched her . Standing up Emma pulled out the lasagne and placed the tray onto the counter top . Placing some lasagne on each plate she turned to Will who was setting the table. "Is that enough for you?" she asked lifting up the plate allowing Will to see how much she had given him. Will nodded "that's fine Em" he smiled walking to the skink to wash his hands. "Good" Emma said placing the two plates on the table, walking over to the skin washing her own hands before going to sit down. "Wait Em your still warring your piny" Will said. "Oh yes, silly me "Emma giggled attempting to undo the bow at the back of her apron. " Here let me help you" Will said, standing up and walking towards her a smile on his face. "Thank you" "It's alright" Will said undoing the bow and kissing her on the cheek. Pulling it over her head Emma hung up her pinafore and sat back at the table in the seat opposite Will . " tuck in" Emma smiled and both she and Will began to eat their dinner .

"Mmmm Em this is delicious" Will complemented "thank you honey" Emma replied taking a sip of wine from her glass. "So did you manage to finish all of those papers?" "Yes I did, although I can't say I was too impressed, they just don't seem to be getting it. I really don't know what to do now; I need to find a way of getting through to them." Will sighed resting his head in his hand, his other lay on the table. "Hey" Emma said taking his hand in her own. Will looked up and was greeted by her beautiful, smiling face. "It's going to be ok , you'll figure something out . You always do." She gave his hand one last squeeze before standing up and picking up her plate. "have you finished ?" she asked . Will nodded. Emma smiled leaning down and kissing him gently on the lips. "You ok?" she asked her voice full of concern. Will smiled "I'm fine honestly. Actually I think I have an idea about how to get through to the kids" "that's great!"Emma said enthusiastically quickly pecking him on the lips before picking up his plate and walking over to the sink. "See i told you you would think of something " she said as she smiled at him over her shoulder . All Will could do was smile back, she really was something.
