Will and Emma were walking into her office before the kids started arriving, when she noticed a man was standing in her office. When she opened the door she was surprised to see it was Carl.
"Carl? What are you doing in my office?"
"I wanted to come and see how you are doing"
Will stepped in front of Emma "She is doing just fine, and I think you should go, before I make you" Will said raising his voice.
"Alright, I don't want to cause any problems" Carl said as he left her office
"Are you ok honey?" Will asked trying to comfort her
"Oh I'm fine don't worry about me Will, its just Carl" Emma said with a smile "I'm just shocked to see him is all"
"Ok but if you have any problems with him then call me or just text me and ill be here in a minute" Will said as he kissed Emma "Do you want to have lunch here in your office today?"
"Yeah, sounds perfect" Emma said smiling and returning a kiss to Will's lips
Will then left and headed to his first class.
Emma had a free period first and decided she would get some paperwork done. Then she heard a knock on her door and she looked up and saw Carl standing there. Carl walked in the room and started talking to her and then walked over by her desk and leaned up next to her desk right next to where she was sitting.
"So Will, is he your boyfriend now?"
"No he is my husband"
"Oh so you married him, did you marry him like you married me, where your just going to one day say that your in love with another man"
"Of course not! I love Will!"
"You said you loved me also" Carl started to run his fingers up Emma's arm, and she had no idea what to do, she just froze. "If you ever get tired of Will, I will always be here for you, I always will be no matter what, I still love you"
Emma couldn't even get a single word out of her mouth
"You look tense, I can take care of that for you" Carl started to rub Emma's shoulder. "I remember what you like"
Emma got up quickly "I forgot I have to go to the principal's office to talk to him about something" Emma waited for him to leave then she closed the door and locked it and burst out crying. She didn't know what to do at this point, she wanted to tell Will but she didn't want to because Will would go and punch him and she didn't want him getting fired because of it. So she decided to leave it unless it got worse. Then her phone started to ring she was nervous to even look at the caller id, but she was relieved to see it was Will calling.
"Hi honey" Emma said trying to control her emotions so Will didn't notice that she was crying
"Are you doing alright? I thought I would call to make sure you didn't have any problems with Carl"
"Uh no…everything it uh fine…just fine" Emma said as she sniffled
"Are you sure cause your voice sounds a little shaky"
"I'm sure Will, I'm ok" Emma said as she felt like she was going to burst out crying, "Uh Will I have to go I have a lot of work to finish before lunch"
"Alright baby, if you have any problems remember to just text me, and ill be there"
"Alright I will talk to you later" Emma said as she hung up the phone.
Emma decided to cancel her appointments for the rest of the day; she didn't feel like seeing any students today.
It was finally time for lunch she was relieved to see Will. When Will walked in and noticed that Emma's eyes were red and swollen looking. "Baby have you been crying, did he show up again?" Will said kneeling next to Emma who was sitting in her chair.
"Oh no, I just am upset cause it brought back a lot of memories seeing Carl again"
"Oh baby its fine, you have the right to feel upset seeing him again, but just remember you have me and I love you very much" Will said kissing her
"Thank you honey I feel better just seeing you, So lets just eat our lunch and just pretend we never even saw Carl today"
Will and Emma finished there lunch and then Will kissed her goodbye and then left for his next class.
Emma spent the rest of the period responding to emails and doing some paper work. Emma couldn't stop thinking of Carl; she kept wondering why he even would show up in Lima. Just the thought of Carl being here, and not knowing why he was here was killing her. Emma couldn't help but cry over it, she was afraid Carl came to ruin her and Will's relationship.
Sixth period then started and it was Will's free period and she just wanted to go to his office and just wrap her arms around him and just cry. Instead Emma decided to walk to the teachers lounge and get some coffee. Emma was pouring coffee when she felt a hand on her lower back "Hi honey" she said without even turning around then she felt a hand on her shoulder pushing the hair away from her neck then she felt his lips kissing her neck. Emma turned around and went to wrap her arm around his neck when she screamed, it was not Will it was Carl.
"What the hell do you think you are doing!" Emma screamed at him pushing him away from her
"Emma, baby I was just showing you that I'm a much better husband then your loser husband" He moved closer and cupped her face in his hands. He was getting so close that he looked like he was going to kiss her, but he didn't, what happened next was much worse. His hand started to move down and his left hand cupped her breast, and his right hand moved over her butt. He then whispered into her ear "Will doesn't deserve a woman like you, you deserve a man like me, I can give you everything you want in life"
He pulled her closer but Emma wasn't going to let this go any further, so she kicked him between the legs instead and when he let go of her she ran out of the room and ran straight for Will's office. Emma busted though his office door, which startled Will at first.
"Oh my god Emma!" Will said rushing to Emma. Before Will even got to her she fell to her knees sobbing. Will got on the floor next to her and embraced her and ran his fingers through her hair trying to calm her down. He had a feeling Carl showed up and talked to her. Emma slowing started to calm down and was trying to talk.
"Carl showed up" Emma said sniffling
"Did he upset you by something he said?"
Emma nodded and then burst out in tears again, Will could tell something more happened that was upsetting her. "Baby please tell me what happened? Did he do something?"
Emma nodded "He…he… touched me" Emma said trying to get the words out
Will was furious "He touched you?"
Emma nodded
"Where did he touch you?" Will asked with his voice rising
"He touched my chest and my butt…and…he"
"If he touched you anywhere else I will kill him!"
"No, no he didn't touch me anywhere else, but he kissed my neck and I didn't know it was him behind me I thought it was you. I should of known it wasn't you I'm so sorry Will, I don't even know how I couldn't tell that. I turned around and saw it was him and I yelled at him but then he pushed me up against the counter and I was so scared I didn't know what he was going to do to me, after he touched me, I kicked him and that's when I ran in here."
"You stay here I'm going to take care of this once and for all" As Will left his office he saw Carl walking down the hallway towards his office.
"Oh Will glad I found you, have you seen Emma?" Will could tell Carl had been drinking he could smell it on his breath. Emma then stepped out of Wills office "There is my Emma" Carl said as he tried to walk towards Emma but Will stopped him from getting any closer. "Woah there Will you can't keep me from her, she loves me not you" Carl looked over at Emma "Right Emma tell him you love me and you always have"
"I'm sorry Carl, I don't love you, I love Will" Emma said as she started crying again, she felt like she was hurting him all over again, just like the day he left her.
"Em, honey you don't mean that"
"Yes I do mean that"
"You" Carl said pointing to Will "You have screwed my Emma up, you have brain washed her into loving you and hating me" Carl was getting mad "Your going to pay for this" Carl said as he swung his fist and punched Will's face, which cause Will to slam into the lockers.
"Will!" Emma ran over to him "Oh Honey! Your bleeding" Emma was scared of Carl and the way he was acting.
Will then regained his balance "Honey go back to my office, I don't want you seeing this"
"Baby please don't do this I don't want to see you get hurt" Emma said pleading with Will to not fight with Carl.
"Babe he touched you, how can I stand here and let him come here and think its ok to touch my wife like that, anyone who touches you like that other then me, they will have to deal with my fist in there face" Will said as he walked over to Carl and Will swung his right hand at his face.
"She married me first, I'm her first love, not you!" Carl shouted.
Carl was not going to let him get away with this. Carl ran at Will and knocked him to the ground and started to punch him. Emma couldn't just stand there any longer, Will needed her help. Emma grabbed Carl and pulled him off of Will and she then raised her left hand punched Carl in the face. Emma clutched her hand in pain.
"Emma!" Will quickly got up to the sound of Emma in pain, he looked at her hand, which was red and swollen.
Carl was on the ground, stunned "Emma I thought you loved me? How could you hurt me like this?"
"Don't listen to him Emma, we need to call you an ambulance" Will guided Emma back into his office and sat her down in one of his chairs. Will called 911 and then went back to Emma to make sure she was ok. Will grabbed the first aid kit that he had and grabbed an icepack and put in on Emma's hand. "Hold this on your hand"
"Will let me look at your nose, I think it's broken"
"I don't care the first thing is to take care of your hand and to make sure your fine"
"Ok well you're getting that checked out by the paramedics when they show up, I don't care what you say"
The paramedics and the police showed up, the police arrested Carl on battery charges and the paramedics checked Will and Emma out and decided they should get x-rays done. Will and Emma got into the ambulance and went to the hospital to get check out by doctors.
Will ended up having a broken nose and hand, and Emma had a broken hand also.
"I'm so sorry baby, there was no reason why you should of gotten in the middle of it, I feel horrible that I couldn't control the fight so you didn't have to step in"
"Will don't be sorry I just couldn't stand there and watch him punch you any longer, I was scared you were going to get hurt you" Emma said kissing Will "and look we got matching casts now" Emma giggled
"After everything that has happened your laughing at our matching casts" Will laughed
"Well you have to find something to laugh at, it makes you feel better" Emma smiled
"You are right, like always" Will laughed "Lets go home"
"Sounds perfect"
Will and Emma left the hospital and headed home. Emma was still upset over everything that happened with Carl, but she felt safe in Will's arms. Emma always felt safe with Will and she loved that she could always count on Will to protect her.
When they got home Will and Emma sat on the couch, silence filled the room.
"Are you ok honey, you haven't said much since we left the hospital?" Will asked
"Yeah just trying to comprehend everything that happened today" Emma said "I feel like taking a shower, I feel so gross after Carl touched me and kissed me"
"Why don't you go take a shower, and change into something more comfortable"
Emma nodded and then took a shower; she had to wrap her cast in plastic in order to take a shower. As she stepped in the shower and allowed the water to run over her face, she once again broke down in tears. Emma sat in the tub with the shower still running, she just wanted to sit under the water and let all the tears fall from her eyes.
Will was wondering what was taking Emma so long, he walked into their bedroom and walked to the bathroom, he could still hear the shower running. "Emma?" Will said as he knocked on the door "Are you ok?" There was no answer. Will walked in the bathroom and saw Emma sitting in the tub with the water running over her body. "Oh babe" Will said turning the water off and then grabbed a towel and draped it over Emma's shoulders
"Hold me please" Emma whispered, "I just need you right now, please just hold me"
"First lets get you out of the tub first" Will leaned down and picked her up bridal style, and carried her to their bedroom and set her down on the edge of the bed. Will wrapped the towel around Emma and sat down next to her and held her and she wrapped her arms around him. Emma started to cry, Will couldn't believe she still had tears to cry with all the crying she has been doing he thought her eyes would be bone dry. "Its ok baby its going to be alright, I wont let him hurt you anymore" Will said as he kissed her forehead.
"Why does he have to come and ruin everything, he was a completely different person that I hardly even recognized him, he had changed so much"
"I feel bad for him" Will said as Emma looked at him with a shocked look on her face
"How could you even say that after he hurt me" Emma got up and started to raise her voice "How in the world could you feel sorry for him!"
"Honey calm down" Will said trying to calm her down "I just know how he feels, he lost you and your a lot to loose baby" Will cupped Emma's face "When I lost you to Carl, I was a wreck, and so is he. Carl knows deep down that he lost you for good, because he knows that you love me and you always have" Will said as he kissed her "I love you more then anything and I'm so grateful to have you by my side, and to be able to call you my wife."
"I love you to honey, thank you for being the best husband a woman could ask for" Emma said as she kissed Will
Emma walked out of the bedroom and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. Will followed to help her out, he walked up behind her while she was washing some grapes in the sink and he started to kiss her neck. Emma froze, her memory of the scene that happened in the teachers lounge was still to fresh in her head. Emma forgot that she was home and that it was Will kissing her not Carl, but in her head she felt like it was Carl. Emma then turned around and smacked Will in the face. Emma's mouth dropped open when she realized it was Will and not Carl. Emma was so embarrassed of her current actions "Oh my god Will I'm sorry, I didn't mean to slap you, its just, that how it all started with Carl today. Carl snuck up on me and I thought it was Carl, I'm so, so sorry" Emma said as she quickly threw her arms around Will's neck and hugged Will "I'm so sorry, please forgive me!"
"Honey calm down you have nothing to be sorry about, I should of known better then to sneak up on you like that especially after today, I should have known better, I'm sorry" Will said as he kissed Emma's cheek "Why don't you go lie down on the bed and relax and ill wash the fruit and bring it to you" Will said kissing Emma's forehead
Emma walked out of the kitchen and Will finished preparing the fruit for Emma, and brought it into their bedroom. Emma was now in her pajamas and lying under the covers in there bed.
"Here is your fruit" Will said as he handed her the bowl. Will could tell that Emma was still upset, Will was getting worried and figured this would take a long time for her to get over this. "Are you ok honey?" Will asked as he climbed into the bed next to her.
"I'm sorry Will"
"Baby you have nothing to be sorry about" Will said while his fingers ran though her hair
"Yes I do, I lied to you today. When you called me before lunch and asked if Carl came back and I said no, but I lied he did come back. I'm so sorry Will, I should never lie to you, if I did tell you the truth things wouldn't of gotten worse." Emma said with tears filling in her eyes.
"It's ok honey, you wont have to deal with him anymore, cause were going to make sure he can't come around you anymore" Will said as he wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I love you so much Will, I don't know what I would do without you"
"I love you to, and I'll always be here for you" Will said as he pulled Emma's face into a kiss "And look we even have the broken hands to prove that we cant live without each other" Will chuckled
"And your broken nose" Emma chuckled as she planted a kiss on the tip of his nose "I would break my hand over and over again just to protect you"
"Well I would prefer you leave the fighting to me"
Emma laughed "oh yeah if I didn't help you out today you would of probably had a lot more broken then just your nose and hand"
"Probably but you wouldn't of broken your hand, I would rather break every bone in my body then have you break just one"
"Well you need to learn that I'm always going to protect you, just like you want to protect me, now that were married it's not you and I anymore babe it's us, and we have to work together, and that means anything that comes our way. That's why I love you, cause we work so well together." Emma said "And as much as I would love to keep this conversation going, I'm really tired and we have school tomorrow"
"Good I'm glad your tired, I'm tired also" Will started to laugh "Who knew protecting my wonderful and beautiful wife would be so tiring"
Emma playfully smacked his arm at that remark. "I love you" Emma said as she kissed Will. Emma turned off the lights and cuddled up next to Will. Soon both were sound asleep in each other's arms.
