New Beginnings
Chapter 9
It was spring break at McKinley High and Will and Emma were on their way to Virginia Beach to visit her parents.
"I'm so excited Will!"
"I know honey I'm excited to see your parents also"
"Oh well I was happy about seeing them also but I'm excited cause this is our first vacation together" Emma smiled "I'm excited to spend the five days on the beach relaxing I just wish we could stay for more then five days"
"Yeah I know but we can come back in the summer, your birthday is in July so we can go back for that"
"That would be amazing and we can stay for a few weeks, I'm sure my mom wont mind us staying at the house"
The drive from Lima would take around 10 hours and Will and Emma decided to drive through the night so they wouldn't have to waste an extra day driving. Emma just wanted to get there and have as much time as possible there with her family.
The next day they arrived around 10 in the morning. They unloaded the car and got inside and relaxed while socializing with Emma's parents. "Oh Will I should show you the house and then we can take our suitcases upstairs" Emma walked up the stairs and opened the door to her childhood room "The best thing is the balcony" Emma said as she opened the double doors
"Oh wow this view is incredible Emma"
"Yes it is, when I was younger and I was having a bad day I would come out here and hearing the waves would make me feel better instantly."
"I can see why, it would make me feel better also"
"You will see in the summer when we come back but I used to always open the doors and there is always a nice cool breeze coming in from off the water"
"This place really is amazing, it makes me wish we lived in a house on the beach"
"Yeah I miss it sometimes but I don't mind not living by the beach, trust me its nice not having to worry about hurricanes and tropical storms coming and ruining the house"
Will and Emma unpacked and then Emma went out shopping with her mother and Will choose to stay home so Emma and her mother could spend some quality time, plus Will had something else he planned on doing while she was gone.
"Could I talk to you about something?" Will asked Rusty
"Of course come and sit down"
"Well as you know Emma and I have been dating for now eight months and we are now all moved in and everything is great and there was a reason why I suggested to Emma that we should come down here to visit and that's because I would like your blessing in asking Emma to marry me"
"Absolutely yes!" Rusty said standing up and hugging Will "I'm surprised the way you two are so in love that you two aren't already married" Rusty laughed sitting down
"Thank you very much" Will said smiling "I was going to ask you the last time we saw you at Christmas but I really didn't want to ask you a question like that the first time you met me"
"Well to tell you the truth I would of said yes then, I was almost going to tell you that you had my blessing then but I wanted you to ask me" Rusty chuckled
"Now the other thing I wanted to tell you is I have an idea for the proposal but I will need some help with it"
"Do you plan on proposing here before you two leave?"
"No we plan on coming back here for her birthday and I was planning on for then and I've also been saving up for her engagement ring."
"That's great, now I was planning on giving this to the two of you when you came" Rusty handed Will an envelope that had a check in it "Now that you two are living together and getting married I thought you would like some money to help you two out. I know its hard living in this world where everything is so expensive and when I first married Rose I wish my parents were able to help us out with money. Now I also wanted to tell you since you are planning on proposing I wanted to tell you that ever since Emma was born the one thing I said to myself was I want her to have the wedding of her dreams. So since I'm the father of the bride I want to pay for the wedding, it's the least I can do for the both of you"
"Rusty…I'm speechless I don't even know what to say that's very generous of you to do for the both of us and I thank you very much for it"
"It's my pleasure, I just ask for one thing in return"
"Sure anything"
"Just love Emma and take care of her, she means the world to us" Rusty said
"Of course she means the world to me also" Will smiled
"Mom I think I know why Will wanted to stay home with dad"
"Oh I have a good feeling why also"
"You think he is asking for dad's permission?"
"I think so, you did say he was the one who said he wanted to come here to visit, that's a big clue" Rose said
"Mom do you think you could maybe ask dad?"
"Absolutely not, no way will I ruin that kind of surprise for you. Plus your father probably wont even tell me just so I don't blab it because ill be so excited about it" Rose laughed
"Your right, and I would rather be surprised even though I wouldn't even know when he plans on proposing to me, oh I hope its soon I don't think I can handle not knowing."
"Patience my dear, it's going to happen trust me"
Later that night when Rusty and Rose went to bed "So you wanna know what Will and I talked about today?"
"I already have an idea?"
"Really? How?"
"Oh you know it's a thing called woman intuition"
"Oh really well let me hear what your woman's intuition thinks and if its right"
"Will asked for your blessing to marry Emma"
Rusty opened and then closed his mouth expecting she wasn't going to be right "Ok never mind you were right"
Rose laughed, "It was pretty obvious. So when is he popping the question? Did you give him the check? Did you tell him we would pay for the wedding? Did you…"
"Woah hold on calm down on the questions there" Rusty laughed "They are going to come back here for Emma's birthday and he is planning a big romantic proposal we discussed it all today"
"Oh I'm so excited! I hope Emma can handle waiting a few more months" Rose laughed
"Wait she knows?"
"No, she just assumes that was the reason for coming here to visit since it was his idea to come here for there spring break"
"Ok well don't tell her that Will did ask for my blessing or else she will blurt it out to Will and it will ruin the surprise"
"My lips are sealed" Rose said imitating zippering her mouth shut
The next morning Will and Emma woke up and enjoyed the peace and quiet and listening to the crashing waves outside. "I love waking up to the waves its so relaxing" Emma said curling up to Will
"I love it also" Will said kissing the top of Emma's head "But not as much as I love you" Will smiled
Emma loved it whenever Will said that, even after hearing it so many times she still could tell that he said it with all of his heart. "You are the best boyfriend you know that" Emma smiled looking up at Will.
"You're the best girlfriend in the whole entire world" Will said kissing Emma but in the middle of the kiss Emma pulled away and covered her mouth and then ran into the bathroom. Will quickly ran after Emma and held Emma's hair back as she began to throw up.
"That came all of a sudden" Emma said sitting on the floor as Will handed Emma a cup with some mouthwash in it to rise her mouth out.
"Do you feel better?" Will asked while rubbing her back.
"Yeah a little bit" Emma said upset "I hope I'm not becoming sick, I don't want to ruin our vacation"
"Honey it's fine these things happen" Will said
Rose knocked on the bathroom door "Is everything alright it sounded like someone was sick"
"Come on in mom" Emma said as she was still sitting on the floor.
"Oh honey are you sick?" Rose asked as Emma shook her head "Will would you mind running downstairs and grabbing her something to drink and some saltines"
"Of course" Will said leaving the room
Rose waited till the coast was clear "Ok spill you guts and I mean in words not in vomit"
"What are you talking about mom?"
"Are you pregnant?" Rose blurted out
"What? No mom…well I don't know maybe…oh my god mom! Could there be a chance that I'm pregnant!" Emma screamed and Will just walked in the room and heard the words 'I'm pregnant'
"Your pregnant!" Will asked stumbling into the bathroom
Rusty walked into the bathroom "Em are you sick?" Rusty asked concerned
"She's pregnant!" Will said blurting it out not being able to get that off his mind.
James then walked in and started laughing "Ha you knocked my sister up, now you have done it"
"Everyone be quiet!" Rose yelled to shut everyone up "We don't know if she is but I think she is"
"I'm sorry mom and dad" Emma started to cry "I'm sorry if I have disappointed you"
"Oh no honey I'm sorry we would love for you and Will to have a baby, yes I would prefer you to have a baby when your married but don't be upset about this" Rose said comforting her daughter.
Will left the room and sat at the edge of the bed upset with himself. Will felt bad cause he was excited about Emma being pregnant but hated how her family was reacting to the pregnancy.
"Where's Will?" Emma asked "I need him here"
"Emma this is all his fault your pregnant, he has already done enough"
"Dad! This is not his fault, I love him and this is both our fault but dad I don't want to be upset over this! Will and I want a baby, yes maybe this was sooner then we thought but it doesn't change how much we love that were pregnant. But first we don't even know for sure if I'm pregnant"
Will walks back in and sits down next to Emma. Emma laid her head on Will's chest as he wrapped his arms wrapped around her "It's going to be alright sweetheart, were going to get this all figured out"
"Are you upset?" Emma asked
"Oh honey never would I be upset over this!" Will said kissing the top of her head "First lets just see if your pregnant"
"Ok" Emma smiled looking up at him. Will went to the drugstore and picked up some pregnancy tests and then returned home. Emma was pacing back and fourth in the bedroom anxious for Will to get home with the tests. "I'm so glad your back, I don't think I could wait another minute" Will handed Emma the bag "Thanks, ill be right back"
"Ok I'll be waiting right here" Will said
About a minute later Emma called Will into the bathroom "Ok now we have to wait about four minutes for the results" Emma said pacing back and fourth.
Will sat on the edge of the tub "Come here" Will said motioning for Emma to sit with him. He pulled her close as she sat on his lap. "Now no matter what those tests say I will still love you as much as I do now, nothing will ever change that"
"Thank you Will" Emma said kissing him "I just wish this could of happened later in our relationship, not that I'm not happy about this I just hope my family will be more understanding about this"
"I know and I'm sorry it has to be this way, but things happen for a reason and we will get through this together, don't ever think I will leave you when you need me most, cause I will never leave you, not ever"
"I love you" Emma said hugging Will, then she looked at her watch "Alright its time to look. Let me ask one thing I know I will be happy if I'm pregnant but will you be happy also, is this something that if those tests are positive that we should be celebrating about?"
"Of course I'll be happy also, as long as you are happy, nothing else matters. I have always wanted kids so to me this would be amazing!" Will said smiling.
"Alright then lets go look at the tests together" Emma said standing up grabbing Will's hand.
"Ok lets do this"
Will and Emma looked down at the tests and….
