Diane and Will are married with two kids, this is as crazy as I can get with fanfic writing. :P

Disclaimer:

I don't own Diane and Will or the other characters that might appear from the show. There are also two characters from 'The Practice', those who haven't seen that show, don't worry, they won't be around too much. The rest of the characters are my own.

Note:

One day I read this tweet: "Diane Lockhart, I want to grow up to be just like you. (Maybe the version of you that is married to Will and has his babies...) #Thegoodwife" and I wrote the first chapter of this fic the same night. It consists of 31 chapters already and I'm not done with it yet, so expect it to get vey long. :P I've finally took the courage to post the first chapter on here, please don't hate it too much. This whole fic is as OOC as I can ever get with Diane and Will, hope you forgive me for that!

Reviews are always appreciated! :)

Choosing You

Chapter One

"Only 34 hours?"

"Yes."

"But 34 hours are a lot."

"But you spend 10 hours with sleeping, 20 hours at school, the remaining 4 hours will just fly away and of course we'll talk on the phone."

"Will you call me?"

"Of course I will, we will talk many times.

"Many? How much is that?"

"I don't know exactly, but you can also call me whenever you want to, all right?"

"All right," the girl said with a shy smile, which showed that she started to believe what her mother was telling her.

"And please behave nicely with Aunt Diane, you should set a good example for your brother."

"But he is the one who always starts it."

"But you are older, you should be wiser."

"Do you think I can be wise?"

Diane had to suppress her smile looking at her daughter, like all six-year olds she always had a question at hand.

"Sure you can, you just have to decide it. You can show Aunt Diane that you are a good girl."

"But she talks too much, she is boring."

And like all six-year olds she was honest.

"She doesn't always have company, you should try to be patient with her. She loves you both very much."

"Do we have to love her too?"

"Have to? Well, you should try to like her, yes."

"All right, I will try."

"That's my girl," she said, stroking her hair and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "But we really have to go, sweetie."

"Yes," Will said finally, breaking his silence and Diane just had to roll her eyes at him for sounding so impatient.

"And what are you and daddy gonna do tonight?"

"We already discussed this, we are celebrating our wedding anniversary."

"And why can't we be there?"

"Because it will be late at night and you have to go to school early tomorrow."

"I can always skip school."

"But you still have to be in bed by 8."

"I know," she replied after a short pause, obviously accepting that her mother was right.

Diane gave her a hug then Will did the same.

"34 hours," the girl said, trying to smile a little, but she failed. For a short moment Diane feared that she might start to cry, but she didn't.

"A little less than 34 hours now."

"Yes," she said, smiling this time then waved to them and turned around. The next moment she joined a group of children and immediately started taking part in the conversation and Diane felt really proud of her at that moment.

"We really should go," she heard Will's voice from her side.

"I know," she slowly turned in his direction.

"Hey, I don't want to see tears," he softly stroked her face.

"I'm fine," she blinked a few times, "Let's go."

But even though he had been the impatient one, this time he didn't even move hearing her words. Instead he leaned forward and kissed her.

"Happy Anniversary!" he whispered after the kiss ended.

"Happy Anniversary!" she replied smiling.
