A/N: So I'm bad and completely forgot about this story. I'm so sorry but here is just a quick chapter to make up for times lost. Hope you all like it and please read and review.
In the short amount of time that they were there, Will and Emma had fallen in love with Costa Rica. The water was so blue and clear, the trees were green and lush with leaves and the mountains were beautiful with waterfalls coming down. It looked exactly like the pictures in the nature magazines and television commercials.
As it approached the third day of the trip, Will and Emma headed to the beach to spend the day before they would go to dinner later in the evening. The beach had become their thing and realized that they spent most of their time laying in the sand and splashing in the water instead of venturing out and exploring the land. That didn't bother them though as they liked the quiet and the relaxation that the water brought to them.
"So what's on the agenda tomorrow, Em?" Will asked as he laid a beach towel down in the sand.
"Snorkeling maybe? What do you think?" Emma asked while Will shook his head in agreement. It was an activity that they decided to do the first day they arrived and had yet to do it.
"A couple hours in the water looking at hundreds of fish would be awesome," Will said as he sat down on his freshly made spot.
"Great, we'll ask the concierge when we get back to the hotel about times and places to go," Emma said.
"Sounds perfect, babe. Can you believe that we've been here for three days already?" Will asked Emma in wonderment that their honeymoon was almost over. They only had two more days to spend in paradise before going back to Lima for the rest of the summer.
"I know. Time flies doesn't it?" Emma commented while Will smirked playfully.
"Especially when you're having fun," Will added to Emma's statement. They had been having a great time inside and outside of the bedroom that it truly made Costa Rica seem like a lover's paradise.
"I wonder what's going on back home though," Will thought out loud. It was summer time in Lima which meant that everyone went their separate ways for a couple of months before regrouping together in the fall again.
"I don't know honey but let's not think about home. Let's just think of us," Emma said as Will nodded and leaned over to give her a kiss that lasted for a mere couple of seconds.
"I can do that," Will said with a satisfying nod of agreement.
"Good," Emma said with a blush, secretly enjoying the way Will was looking at her. His devious smirk playing at his lips. He had been very romantic theses past couple of days and Emma knew that he was planning something big at the end of their trip. She just didn't know what.
"Water time?" Will asked with his child like grin, making Emma smile widely at him.
"Okay," she said as she sat down her Nicholas Sparks book in the chair. She grabbed Will's hand and he led her to the water. As they got to the edge he gently pushed her forward, causing Emma to swat her hand playfully at him in return.
"William, don't make me chase you," Emma warned while Will laughed.
"You think you can catch me?" Will said as he folded his arms across his chest, making himself stand tall and manly.
"I know I can," Emma said making Will shake his head no.
"Yeah right, Em. I love you and all but there's no way you can catch me in a foot race," Will said as he pictured her lagging behind him on the beach out of breath.
"You want to bet?" Emma asked taking defense to Will's comments. She knew he was joking but at the same time she wanted to prove him wrong and show that she could be as strong as him. Granit, he did have more muscles than her and he did run almost every morning back home. Still though, she wanted to make him eat his words.
"Fine, what's the bet?" Will asked with a raised eyebrow, interested in what the outcome would be.
"Winner has to make the loser hug Sue in front of everyone when we get back home," Emma said with a laugh knowing that approaching Sue in the middle of the hallway on a busy day would lead to a smack in the head and a thousand insults of humiliation.
"You're crazy, but okay," Will said as he stuck out his hand. Emma took it and gripped it, lacing her fingers in his.
"On the count of three," Emma said as they let go and lined up side by side.
"One, two, three," Will shouted as they both bolted from the line.
Emma ran as fast as she could next to Will, both kicking up water underneath them and sending the droplets to splash behind them. Will watched in amazement at how fast Emma could actually run. He didn't expect her to have stayed with him for more than a couple of seconds. He was worried that she could win but the image of him hugging Sue Sylvester in the middle of the hallway made him cringe and he picked up his speed.
As he gained momentum, Emma started to lag behind and Will smiled that victory was in his reach. He heard Emma pant for breath and suddenly felt bad that she was over exerting herself. He slowed his pace and made a quick turnaround, now running back towards her.
"Will, what are you doing?" Emma asked as she saw him run back in her direction.
"This," Will said as he reached out both his arms and scooped Emma up, throwing her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
"Will, put me down!" Emma giggled as Will continued to run with her over his shoulder. He took them to the water and gently laid Emma down in the shallowest of regions.
"Will!" Emma playfully scolded at the wetness he had caused her to be.
"What? You wanted to go swimming," Will said. "I just helped you a little bit," he added with another smirk that made Emma not even mad at him anymore.
"Help me up," Emma said reaching out her arm but as Will stretched his out, she quickly grabbed it and pulled him forward, causing him to fall into the water next to her.
"Emma," Will said in disbelief at her strength to be able to pull him down like that.
"Now we're even," Emma said with a laugh as she playfully splashed some water into his face.
"Not even," Will replied now grabbing her and tickling her sides, causing her to fall her head back into the water, soaking her hair fully.
"Will Schuester," Emma said in a demanding tone but Will knew she wasn't mad at him, not even close.
"You have to hug Sue," Will said with a mocking tone while Emma continued to splash water in his face, ignoring his comments.
"Do I have to?" Emma asked as she secretly dreaded having to touch another person that wasn't Will.
"I might have a way you could get out of it," Will said deviously, making Emma question his response.
"What?" she asked, confused.
"One of these nights, let's have sex on the beach," Will said boldly making Emma raise an eye at him in confusion. The idea of public sex made her squirm but she was the one that had possibly agreed to it before they left anyways.
"I don't know, Will," Emma replied, confused.
"Just think about it, Em. A private location at sunset with the water crashing in the background. How romantic does that sound?" Will asked with a look of pure love on his face that Emma couldn't say no to.
"It does sound pretty intimate," Emma said, seriously thinking about the idea.
"So?" Will asked with pleading eyes.
"Okay," Emma said in agreement and she smiled as she watched his face light up with surprise.
"Great. How about tomorrow night maybe?" Will asked. He knew they could do it tonight but wanted an extra day to make everything special and as germ free as he could.
"Okay, after snorkeling," Emma said in agreement.
"Okay, deal," Will said, the smile never leaving his face.
After playing in the water for a couple of more hours, Will and Emma headed back to their hotel to make the snorkeling reservations and to change and shower from the beach. Deciding to make it a quiet night in their hotel room, they ordered room service and watched a movie they ordered from paper view.
At about ten thirty they called it a night as they wanted to get a good night's sleep for their snorkeling adventure the next day.
As they climbed into bed, Will rolled over and kissed Emma on the cheek goodnight, but suddenly Emma felt a knot in her stomach rise, making her bolt to the bathroom.
"Emma, are you okay?" Will asked worriedly as he followed behind.
"I don't know. It's strange but I just all of a sudden feel really sick," Emma said as she held her stomach tightly with her arms, kneeling over with a sudden shot of pain in her stomach.
"It's okay, sweetie, just take deep breathes," Will suggested as he knelt down next to her, gently rubbing her back.
"I'm trying," Emma said as she breathed in an out, allowing herself to calm down, but a sudden wave of nausea hit her and she was vomiting in the toilet.
"Maybe you got food poisoning?" Will commented as he watched his wife throw up in the toilet. He continued to rub circles on her back, hoping to add comfort to her distress.
"Maybe," Emma choked out, feeling utterly disgusted with all the germs around her.
"Are you okay?" Will asked as he saw Emma lean back and rest against the wall, forehead sweaty and eyes a little red.
"I think so. It's just the weirdest feeling," Emma said as she tried to stand and make her way over to the sink so she could wash her hands and clean the toilet.
"Well let's take it easy tonight then, okay?" Will asked as he saw Emma nod at him.
"Agreed," she said as Will led her back to the bed once they were done cleaning up the bathroom.
"Good night, Em. I'm right here if you need anything," Will said as kissed her cheek again.
"Okay, and Will could you, could you maybe rub my back again? That felt really nice," Emma said with a small smile while Will nodded in agreement.
"Of course, Emma, anything for you," he said as he watched her turn and lay on her side, giving him space so he could continue his pattern of drawing circles. She sighed happily and closed her eyes.
In a matter of minutes, she was asleep, but Will lay wide awake, trying to think how Emma could have gotten sick out of nowhere. She was fine the whole day and during dinner which made him question an even bigger thought, one that slightly scared him.
He shook his head no though at that possibility, thinking it wasn't the right time and that it was too soon in the new marriage for it to happen. Settling his mind back on the thought of food poisoning, Will closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, focusing on the exciting adventures that tomorrow would surely bring.
