Emma sat at her desk working trying to tackle the paperwork in front of her. It was the beginning of January and they just came back from Christmas break. She had spent Christmas with her new husband trying to get to know each other better. Isn't this what you do before you get married?, she thought. Getting married spontaneously was romantic she guessed for some people it was. Her husband was all about being spontaneous but she was not. She moved into his place during the break and worked at organizing and cleaning the place to her standards. Carl sometimes thought she was nuts with her eccentric tendencies to clean and to find a place for everything but Carl was not like this. In fact he was kind of driving her nuts because he would never clean up after himself or put things away. Now sitting in her office she was kind of happy to be back so she didn't have to spend so much time with him. Was it horrible to think like this but that is how she felt. She was kind of grateful he hadn't really pushed her into having sex but she just wasn't feeling it.
She heard a knock on her door and she looked up and saw Will and a smile crept up on her face.
"Hey...How are you doing?" Will asked
"Hey...okay...How was your Christmas break?" Emma asked hesitantly
"Okay...Fine...I better get going...I just wanted to say hi."
"Okay...I'll see you later."
"Lunch?"
"Lunch."
Wow that was awkward she thought. I hate seeing him like this. I missed him so much. She tried to go back to work but then a few minutes later there was another knock on the door. She looked up and she flew out of her seat at who it was.
"Mom?"
"Hey, Sweetie." she hugged her mother
"What are you doing here?"
"I came here to see my daughter. With you getting married and all I thought it would be a good time to see my daughter and to meet my son in law."
"Oh...I just wasn't expecting you. Is Dad with you?"
"I wanted to surprise you. But, your father couldn't get off work. So here I am. Is it okay that I came here to the school?"
"Of course it's fine. I think you'll be kind of bored. All I'm doing is some paperwork. I don't have any appointments today so you can stay in here if you want."
"Of course. I won't disturb you while you're working."
"Okay come in and make yourself comfortable. Are you sure you don't want to go somewhere's else? Won't you be bored."
"First of all I don't know the town. Secondly, I came to see my daughter not to do sightseeing."
"Okay...Just do whatever you want."
Her mom sat down and took out her newspaper and started reading.
Lunch rolled around and Emma remembered her conversation with Will earlier.
"Mom, I was supposed to have lunch with Will. I will just go and tell him I can't today."
"Wait, is this the Will I have heard so much about?"
"Erm...Yeah."
"I want to meet him. Let's all have lunch together."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah...I have been dying to meet Will for a long time."
"Mom!"
"I'll be good. I promise."
"Okay, fine. Let's go."
Emma and her mom went to the faculty lounge in search of Will who was sitting at their usual table. Will looked up and smiled when he saw Emma and he stood up from the table when he saw her come in with a woman.
"Will, this is my mom. She just came in unexpectedly."
Will came around the table and smiled warmly to Emma's mother.
"It's so nice to meet you, Mrs. Pillsbury."
"It's so nice to finally meet you, Will."
Emma and Will blushed at her comment. Had Emma really talked about him to her mother, he thought.
"I hope you don't mine if I join you for lunch."
"Of course not. Wait...You probably don't have anything to eat. Why don't I take you and your daughter out for lunch?"
"Will you don't have to do that," Emma responded.
"Of course. It's not everyday your Mom comes to town. Come on Let's go."
Emma, Will, and her mother all go walk towards Emma's car. Will opens the back door for Emma's mother so she can get in and the passenger door for Emma. Then he went around the driver side to get in. Emma hands him her keys.
Emma looks at Will as she was handing over her keys to him. "Thank you, Will."
He smiles back and starts the engine. He drives them to a local mom and pop restaurant and they sat down.
They place their order and they start talking.
Will asked Emma's mom about Virginia while Emma's mom asked about him and the glee club.
"Tell me, Will. After all, I heard so much about the Glee club from Emma. Emma says how talented all the kids are besides her gushing how talented you are."
"Mom"
"What? Well you have."
"Thank you. I appreciate it. And thanks Emma for your compliments." Will said as he stared at her.
Emma and Will continued looking at each other as if they were the only ones in the room.
Emma's mom looked at the two of them and smiled at their obvious affection for each other. She hadn't met Carl yet but she knew somehow that he shouldn't be her new groom. The guy staring at her daughter now with kind affectionate eyes should be.
Emma's mom tried to continue on with their conversation.
"Will, would you mine if I sit on one day to watch your glee rehearsal?"
"No, of course not. That would be great. Anytime."
"Emma, we should go the next time they have rehearsal."
"Erm...we'll I really couldn't. But you can. I will pick you up afterward."
"What do you mean you couldn't?
"She's not allowed," Will interjected.
Emma looked at him
"What? It's the truth."
"Em...What's going on?"
"Carl really doesn't like me going to the rehearsals."
"Oh I see. I never thought I would raise a daughter who would let a man dictate what she can or cannot do."
Will smiled at Emma's mom.
"Mom, he's not dictating he just doesn't really like me spending time with Will after everything."
"Everything?"
"Your daughter is referring to the Rocky Horror debacle."
"Rocky Horror?"
"Long story short...I tried to do Rocky Horror to get closer to your daughter she sang Toucha Toucha Me and we really got into it but when Carl found out he wasn't too happy. So much they got in a fight and wasn't allowed to go to Sectionals with us and Emma ended up running off with him to Vegas."
"Will!"
"What? Did I say anything that wasn't true?"
Emma didn't know how to respond and he was right of course. Damn it she hates when he's right. It's so infuriating.
"Emma. We will talk about this later. Will, just let me know when it okay for me to stop by for rehearsal."
"We have rehearsal on Wednesday if you want to you can come then."
"Yes...that would be great."
'Emma, I can drive your mom back to your place if you want."
Emma thought about Will's proposal but thought of Carl's reaction if Will showed up at their home. That would not be good.
"No, that's not necessary. I will just come around when rehearsal is done."
"Okay."
They all finished their meal and drove back to school. Emma's mom hugged Will when he had to go to class.
"It was so nice meeting you, Mrs. Pillsbury."
"So nice meeting you oh and please call me Janice."
"OK. I'll see you later. Bye, Emma."
Will was leaving and turned around. "Don't forget Wednesday."
"I won't. See you later."
Janice grabbed Emma's wait and started walking towards her office.
"Now you are going to tell me how you let that Cutie Patootie get away."
There's the first chapter. Please let me know what you think. It's my first Wemma story. So please let me know whether it's good or bad.
