Hi guys. So what did you think of the latest chapter? Yes we know it was sad. Afterwards we couldn't help but feel depressed that we wrote it :( But never fear! There is going to be some light in the Schuester clan, otherwise my name isn't isn't...Larryboy XD Nah just kidding. Or our name isn't TG101! Peace Out! TG101 :-D x

"...we're going to Will and Emma's house! Yes we are!" Artie babbled to his 11 month old daughter

Tina sighed, concentrating on the road "Artie,stop annoying her,she doesn't like it"

"Isn't it a coincidence that she doesn't like whatever you find annoying?" he asked smugly

Tina sighed again and switched on the radio

"...what a wonderful phase, Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze"

"You like that don't you?" Artie grinned, watching his baby girl laugh "Can you say Dada? Say Dada for Daddy!"

"Piggy!" Maddie squealed, chewing on the green pig in her hand

"No...Daddy. Da-dy"

"Pi-ggy"she replied

"Kid knows how to answer back already" Tina muttered,making a turn into Will and Emma's street

"Almost there plumpkin" Artie smiled,pressing his daughter's nose

Emma sighed as she glanced at the picture of Blake. It had been 5 months since he had gone and she was still missing him. Badly. She couldn't help but think that if he had been alive, he would have been 2 months old and probably the spitting image of his father with her dark brown orbs for eyes.

"Emma,you do remember that we're looking after Maddie for the weekend?" Will called from the kitchen

"Who?" Emma called back, making her way into the kitchen

"Madeline? Tina and Artie's daughter?"

"Mm" Emma shrugged, tears pooling in her eyes as she remembered

Will sighed. He hated seeing his wife like this, especially as she thought it was her fault

"It was not your fault. Bridget said thathe developed an infection and that he was too weak to fight it off"

Emma sniffed,recomposing herself "You're right"

Just then, they heard a door opening and the voice of Artie

"Hello? Pizza delivery? Comes with free baby!"

"Artie!" Tina hissed, whacking him on the arm

"Ouch! Tee!"

Giving his wife a supportive smile, he whistled for Axl and strolled to the front door

"...bedtime's at 7:30 and if you find she's not getting to sleep, a few drops of olbas oil usually does the trick. Um..she has Green Pig and Red Bird with her. She's starting to walk on her own but may need some support from either you or Will. So...I guess that's it. If you need any help, don't hesitate to phone. You guys don't know how much we appreciate this"

"Any time guys"

Emma grunted as she heard yet another wail from the portable crib in the corner. She glanced at the clock and groaned when she saw it. 11:23 pm. It wasn't even midnight and already Madeline was up twice.

"Madeline,calm down yeah?" Emma shushed,rocking her and kissing her forehead every so often "Mommy and Daddy aren't here and you know that. Where's Piggy and Red,hm?"

"Mommy" Maddie whimpered feebly "Mommy"

"Mommy's not here at the moment. Come on, let's see if you want your bottle"

"Hello? Anyone here?" Artie called 2 days later. He heard a yelp, and a squeal of laughter

"Maddie, you do not pull Axl's ears because he doesn't like that, okay?" Will told Madeline who was looking rather sheepish

"Kay" she mumbled, toddling towards her father "Dadad!"

"Hey plumpkin!" Artie grinned, whirling his little girl around and giving her an eskimo kiss "You been a good girl for Will and Em?"

"Axl!" she squealed pointing to the dog that was hiding behind the couch and whimpering slightly

"Yeah I heard. Don't pull his ears, he doesn't like that. Here, let me show you. Axl" Artie whistled softly "Is he okay around kids?" he asked Emma who handed a bowl of pasta to Will

"Yeah, he's generally okay"

"Axl, come on buddy. Maddie's not gonna hurt you" Will soothed, coaxing the young dog out

Axl whimpered slightly,not really liking the thing in Artie's arms

"Don't worry bud,it's okay" Artie grinned,setting Madeline down

2 hours later,Artie couldn't find Maddie

"Maddie, come on baby, we need to go"

Tina, who was also looking for Maddie, checked in the dining room. Gasping at the sight, she whipped out her phone and took a quick picture

"Tina have...aww" Artie stopped and stared. There was his daughter, curled up with Axl in Axl's bed. Gently picking her up, Tina walked to the kitchen to say godbye

"Thanks for having her guys, we really appreciate it"

"Anytime" Emma smiled, playing with the infant's hand "Bye Madeline"

"Bye" Artie grinned, waving

When they had gone, Emma gave a sigh of relief "Thanks Will" she mumbled into his chest

"For what?"

"Everything"
