I do not own Glee or anything to do with it. That belongs to Ryan Murphy and FOX
Onto chapter ten. I have decided to end it at fifteen chapters so only a few more chapters to go after this
A painful regret
Chapter ten: Coming on leaps and bounds!
"Mrs Schue?" Marley poked her head into Emma`s office where Emma was busy bent over trying as best as she could with the help of the chair to fill in a college admissions form. She jumped as she heard the voice but smiled softly when she realised it was Marley
"Oh it's you Marley. Come in" Emma smiled relived to see the brunette. Marley opened the door and walked into the room
"How are you feeling?" Marley asked Emma
"`I`m doing a lot better thanks Marley" Emma admitted "They said I should be out of the chair in a few weeks or so"
"That`s great!" Marley exclaimed "Oh I`m so glad" Emma smiled she knew that she was happy and wasn't just saying it so that Emma was happy
"And how are you?" Emma glanced at the brunette
"Me?" Marley said puzzled
"With Jake" Emma replied. She knew from Will and Finn that Marley and Jake had been having some problems regarding Ryder and how she couldn't shake away her connection. Marley started to explain her feelings but then was interrupted by a knock on the door and Ryder poking his head in
"Mrs Schue I.." he started to say but then saw Marley and then shut his mouth "I'll come back late" he hastily said
"No Ryder I'll go. Thanks Mrs Schue for your advice though" Marley gratefully said before she stood up and made her way out of the office. Ryder then glanced at Emma
"No really I'll come back later" he murmured before he also shut the office door. Emma shook her head. Sometimes these teenage relationships could get so complicated. Suddenly there was another knock on the door
"Ryder or Marley you can come in" she shouted but was surprised to see Will there
"You weren't expecting me?" Will said surprised. Emma just sighed
"Marley came talking about Jake and Ryder and then Ryder came too. Marley saw him and then bolted leaving Ryder to bolt as well. I don't know what`s going on between them" Emma sighed
"Ill try and get something out of Finn but more importantly we should get ready for your rehabilitation class" Will smiled kissing Emma on the head. The week before Emma had actually managed to walk a few steps and this week they were hoping that Emma would be able to walk with some crutches at least while at home. Will opened the office door so that Emma could go through it and made their way down the corridor. They had asked for an afternoon slot this week then they could be back in time to greet who would be chaperoning Finn while Sue wanted them to.
"Ouch!" Emma exclaimed crossly as she sank in the chair rubbing her back
"Emma you did great!. That`s nine steps you managed to walk before you fell down" the teacher smiled softly "Maybe you could try the crutches and then report back next week in what you have done"
"Ok" Emma nodded, the teacher then found her some crutches and then Will sorted an appointment out for the next week. Wheeling her out of the room Will seemed happy
"You have come on so much since we started these classes. Maybe by Christmas you will be out of the chair and no crutches" Will said happily
"Maybe" Emma replied. Will glanced at his wife as he knew she wasn't happy
"What`s wrong Em?. You can use the crutches at home and then when you are happy you can use them at school. I thought you didn't think you would be able to do that today?" Will replied wheeling Emma into the car park. The pair got to their car but Emma still sat in the chair biting her lip slowly
"I just feel…" Emma replied "That everyone else seems to be developing quicker than I am. I feel as if I`m the last one to move onto crutches and I just feel" Emma was interrupted by Will
"Yes but not everyone has a condition like you do. Not everyone needs time to react to the chair when other people have used it. You have done so much Emma I am so proud of you and so is Jacob and if it takes you five years to get out of the chair I don't care. You just take as much time as you need!" Will said fiercely embracing his wife. Tears came to Emma`s eyes
"Thank you" she whispered "I guess you're right I just need to be told sometimes"
"I know you can do it" Will replied "You just need time" Emma nodded and gave a small smile.
"We better get going" she replied wheeling herself to the car as Will picked her up and placed her in the car before putting the chair in the trunk and then himself getting into the car
"Figgins hi" Will greeted the principal "Where is…" he said puzzled
"In the choir room checking up on things. Mr Hudson is just on his way" Figgins said pointedly. Finn then appeared and Will. Figgins, Emma, and Finn made their way to the choir room. Finn gave a deep breath as he opened the door to the choir room slowly and there stood one person he wasn't expecting to see
"Finn" Jessie St James replied. Finn gave a look to Will but Will also wasn't expecting Jessie and the look he gave Figgins wasn't one Figgins wanted to see. Finn knew he had a battle on his hands but he wasn't going to give the Glee club up without a fight let alone let Jessie take it away. He was ready for this fight and so was Will
I will explain everything in the next chapter why Jessie is there but I think you can guess who had some part in it. Anyway the next chapter will probably be a little wemma light as it will probably concentrate more on the Jessie watching the Glee club arc but it will come back into focus soon. Anyway I am going on vacation Sunday so probably won't be another update for a week or so until I return but I will carry on but like I said at the start it will be coming to an end soon.
