Chapter 1: Why?
Emma got married a few years back, everything was going well. They had Daniel Finn and enjoyed life to the fullest until one day Emma disappeared with not just her but their baby too. Will has no idea why Emma took off, but he knows he did something that upset her. He doesn't know where she went, she just took off one day when he was at work, was she scared or was she just freaking out, who knew? Only she did. Ever since the day Emma left, Will went to school depressed in class he would hand his students worksheets, too depressed to teach and the glee club, well, he just handed them sheet music and let them sing however they wanted to. He didn't know what he was going to do, he just missed Emma and Danny. Emma:
I left Will, not like that though. I just needed a break, a break from glee club and his work, I am sick of him talking about glee club all the time, I mean I love them as much as him, but when I am taking care of our son all day, cooking, and cleaning I need a break from his talk about him leaving to go to sectionals, regionals, and nationals. Will is never home to see us, so that's why I left for a little while and going to my parents. Even though my parents have never met Danny or even know he exists I just hope they accept him because if they don't, I have no where else to go. Here I am driving to my parents house, running away from my problems with my 6 month old son crying in the back because he is hungry. I really need to feed him, but we are almost at the house so he should be fine. 10 minutes later I arrive at my parents house with my suitcase full of clothes for a week or two and Danny's carrier. I unbuckle his carrier and put it on one arm and my suit case in the other hand when I finally make it to the door, I sit my suitcase down, trying to calm down my son and knock on the door. Danny was then quiet as if he knew what was going on, then the door opened revealing my mom who looked at me confused.
"Emma? What's wrong?"
Just the way she said it made me burst into tears.
"Mom, I just need a break. Will is never home so I took a break without telling him, took our son and everything."
"Emma, calm down, sweetheart. Come on in."
I walk in and set my suitcase down next to my shoes and carry the carrier over to where we are heading to the living room to sit. I unbuckle Danny, pick him up, and feed him a bottle, for right now. "So, Emma.. Do you have anything to tell us? Every time I hear from you, I have never heard of this little one."
"Mom, I am sorry. I thought you wouldn't accept him because he is Will's."
"Although me and your father have a thing about Will, I would never deny my grandson. Plus, he is too precious to deny."
Her mom says as she puts her index finger. in his hand.
"Thanks mom, do you mind if I stay with you for a week or two? I need a break from Will because all he ever talks about is Glee club and leaving all the time, leaving me alone with a 6 month old. I love him with all my heart, but this has to stop."
"Honey, you are welcomed here anytime."
I finished feeding Danny, burped him, and handed him to my mother to hold him. After 10 minutes he started crying.
"It's okay, baby boy. Your mommy is right here." She said and handed Danny back over to me. After Danny cried my dad came running into the living room and stares at me then he saw Danny in my arms. He looked at me shocked and surprised as if I was covered in mud and didn't take a shower. He finally started to talk to me,
"Hey Em, umm who is that?"
"Oh, this is my son, Daniel Finn aka Danny, who is your grandson."
"I didn't even know you were here, Emma."
"Yeah, I am here for a week or two."
"Oh, well, that's nice! I am glad to see you!"
"Glad to see you too! Oh, do we still have a bassinet around here?"
My dad looked at my mom who nodded and said,
"Yeah, I knew I would have grandchildren someday so I bought one a few years back when you and Will got married."
"Well, good thing you are prepared." I answered and laughed.
After my mom got the bassinet out I put it next to my bed in my old bedroom and placed him in it, kissed his forehead, and told him how much I loved him. I then went to bed myself it has been a long, exhausting day for the both of us.
