It was a warm July afternoon and the last day of the school term signalling the start of the summer holidays for Mckinley High School.

It had been a long day of paperwork and end of term filing, it was tiring and repetitive and Emma was extremely glad when she finally made it back to the haven of her apartment. She discarded her heeled Mary Jane shoes at the door and entered the lounge and was blessed with the sound of a light giggling. She quietly crossed the lounge, dropped down onto the sofa with an exhausted sigh and snuggled herself into the open arm and chest of her now husband Will Schuester.

The giggle belonged to Emma and Will's 3 year old daughter Lily-Rose, who at that precise moment was hosting a tea party for a variety of dolls and toys. She was soo engrossed in own little world that she hadn't seen or heard Emma approach and neither Will or herself had the heart to disturb her.

Together they had decided to share the childcare of Lily-Rose,Mckinley High would have Emma for 2 days and a half day Wednesday, including her SAT prep class. Will had agreed to work on the half Wednesday after Emma and the Thursday and Friday with both of them also putting time in for Glee club rehearsals as they now worked together as proud co-directors.

''Em honey your're home, how was your day?'' Will said as he bent his head to press a chaste kiss to her forehead.

''Mmmm was okay'', she replied looking up at him with a small smile.

''Last minute filing and paperwork for student files and my summer annual office clean''.

Emma's OCD therapy had worked wonders on her over the last few years, most of her extreme cleaning tendencies had virtually disappeared, she now showered ONCE a day like the average person and didn't obsessively clean the house from top to bottom at 6am. However, she still had a bottle of anti-bacterial hand gel in every room she occupied and carried it wherever she went and she also still kept everything colour co-ordinated and in order, she was still the same adorable Emma, just more confident and less germ anxiety.

Will chuckled, '' Quite a day then huh'', he said as he pecked her lips sweetly.

''uhhmmm'', she mumbled in response as one hand pulled him closer by his head to kiss him more deeply.

'I was thinking we could do with a holiday'', she said against his lips.

At that moment Lily-Rose discarded her tea party, meanwhile interrupting Will's reply and ran to Emma with an excited squeel. ''Mommy!'', she cried.

Emma giggled, ''Hey Lils!'', she said as she caught her daughter midrun and lifted her onto the sofa between herself and Will and she immediatly snuggled into them.

Lily-Rose had inherited her mothers beautiful red hair and her fathers thick, lucious curls. She had pale skin that contrasted with her rosy pink cheeks and a generous spattering of freckles across her nose, cheeks and shoulders. However, her most defining feature of all were her eyes. They were wide and beautifully rounded and the most darkest of browns, like a rich chocolate.

After her birth Emma and Will had stared at her for hour upon hour with the biggest feeling of love, joy and elation in their hearts. ''She's all you''. Will had said with a contented wide smile, his voice breathy with awe and admiration.

Emma had looked up at him as he sat next to her on the bed, unshed tears pooling and prickling in her eyes.

This man had just supported her through the most scariest but elating thing she had ever done in her life.

She gazed over his features and posture, they mirrored her own exactly.

Dark purple circles under the eyes from lack of or interrupted sleep, clothes creased and crinkled from 2 days wear, shoulders slumped slightly forward in general lethargicness and eyelids droopy and heavy with overbearing drowiness. But despite all this a deep, warm smile graced the contours of his mouth, one of those smiles you get when you are so overjoyyed by something that it seems embedded in to your skin, it cannot be wiped off and leaves a comfortable achiness to the cheeks. Like always, she had noticed that they were so perfectly in tune with one another. Emma then cast her eyes down to the precious being Will held tightly and closely in his arms, their first child, a daughter.

''Are you kidding'', she giggled, ''Look at that curly permed mop on top of her head, thats definatly Will Schuester's signature hair do!''

Their giggling subsided as Will had asked ''So mommy, what shall we call her?''

Emma took a short moment to register that word and the wonderful feeling that accompanied it before she promptly answered, ''Remember our little holiday, that cottage in England?'', Will arched a flirty eyebrow at her. ''You want to call her Made In England?''

Emma laughed and playfully slapped his arm. ''Ohh hahaa, no I was thinking do you remember what surrounded that cottage?'' Will nodded.

''How about Lily-Rose?''.

Will repeated it in his head 3 times, kissed Emma fully on the lips and looked down at the sleeping newborn. He kissed her lightly on her button nose and with a featherlight touch, stroked her cheek and whispered, ''Daddy thinks it's perfect''.

Lily had fallen soundly asleep on the sofa, her head resting in Emma's lap and her little legs and feet sprawled over Will's lap. Emma looked over at Will who put his finger to his lips as if to shush her. He gently lifted Lily from the sofa, carried her to her bedroom and planted her safely onto her bed. Emma followed close behind him, they both pressed soft kisses to her cheek and left the door slightly ajar. Once they were out of Lily-Rose's room, Emma approached Will about the holiday subject again. ''Hey umm Will, i umm think we should really go for that holiday''.

Will brought both of her hands up to his lips and kissed each one. ''Yeah Em, i think you're right about that, i think we do need to take a break from Lima. What do you have in mind sweetheart?''

Emma looked into his eyes, ''I want to go back to England Will, i want us to take Lily to that cottage''.

Will's eyes lit up in excitement, ''Really? Wow Em i would love to share that place with Lils, it's kinda special yano.. However i think we'll leave the sordid details out until shes older'', he said with a wink.

Emma giggled and pulled him forward by the collar of his shirt and kissed him hard, ''i'm sure she'll understand i mean come on you're sexy Mr Schuester, i just couldn't and still can't resist you.''She said through a whisper against his lips, pulling him forwards towards her until her back made contact with their bedroom door.

His lips left hers, kissed her jaw and travelled down the curve of her neck.

''What shall we do when we get there'', he whispered passionately against her skin.

''How about we get ourselves a Made In England No.2, i think we should get some practice in right now'', she gasped. Will moaned in agreement as she reached behind her for the doornob.
