I do not own Glee or anything to do with it. That belongs to Ryan Murphy and FOX
Onto chapter 12. Hope you all enjoy it!
A painful regret
Chapter 12: Signing out of recovery
"That`s great Emma" the nurse said warmly as Emma sank back down onto the floor after managing to use the crutches all through the session and not needing the chair
"Emma I`m so proud of you" Will smiled softly at his wife as he softly kissed the top of her head
"I think this could be your last session apart from check-ups" the nurse smiled. Emma glanced at the nurse and Will confused
"But I thought I was coming for a few more weeks" she replied her eyes growing bigger
"Well you have come on such leaps and bounds. A few weeks ago I was worried about you but I don't know what it is but you have improved so much. So I think you don't need to come anymore. Apart from regular check-ups and to make sure you are doing ok with the crutches" the nurse smiled
"Well we have been doing a lot of work at home so maybe that helped" Will offered to the nurse
"I think that has worked" the nurse replied. Will then walked with the nurse to sign the release forms and to arrange a date for Emma to come for a check-up then Will walked back across to Emma and the pair went out of the room, Emma walking with her crutches but managing to stay in time with Will
"Will" Emma glanced down at the floor and looked at her husband "Can we keep things quiet at school. Just until I feel comfortable enough to use the crutches at school. I know I still have the chair we have at home"
"Emma of course. But can we tell Shannon and Finn. I feel wrong not telling them" Will replied quietly
"Yes of course but not the whole school. Just the people we care most about" Will glanced across at Emma and grasped her hand slowly
"Also" Emma added "Maybe we could go away next weekend. We could ask Shannon to baby sit and I just feel I need to get away. After everything that has happened with the accident and after with Finn I feel we need a break. Just the two of us" she added and Will nodded agreeing with her
"Well when we get home we could look online and book something. Work won't matter as we will be back for Monday so no vacation days are needed. And I'll ask Shannon and if she is busy I`m sure Finn will baby sit" Emma then nodded as Will drove round the corner towards their house
(Will knocked once on the choir room door and then opened the door as he heard Jessie say come in. He then opened the door to see Jessie sitting at the piano making some notes and frowned when he saw Will)
"What are you doing here?" he frowned
"I just came to see how Finn is doing. I know you two don't get on but I wouldn't want him to be run out of town just because you 2 don't get along" Will was then interrupted by Jessie
"Will I am not like that. I know when I was younger I acted like a jerk but since I moved away I changed. I learnt things about myself"
"Well why did you take this job. Surely you know that what Sue was up to it wouldn't be nice" Will sat opposite Jessie
"I didn't know Sue Sylvester was involved in this. All I knew was that it would be shadowing someone and that it would be a few weeks work and that it involved show choir. I swear if I knew it involved Finn I wouldn't have took the job. Now I know it is Finn I can only do the best of my abilities. But just between you and me he seems pretty capable" Jessie nodded
"So you aren't going to ridicule him or make him do something that might cost him his place here" Will murmured
"Like I said I`m not like that anymore" Jessie replied and Will breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you" he added "That has took a load of my mind. As you know I care about Finn and I didn't want to see him get a raw deal. And when I saw you were the chaperone. Bad things went through my mind" Will admitted
"And they should do. For what you knew I was the same as I was when I was younger but taking control of Vocal Adrenaline was the start of my change." Jessie replied
"So what are your plans for when you have finished here" Will glanced at Jessie
"Probably go back to Chicago. I have a girlfriend there now and to be honest I miss her" Jessie confessed. Will gave a small smile as he gave him a pat on the back as Jessie also stood up and made his way out of the choir room and followed Will
"Emma is waiting for me just outside" Will replied to Jessie who gave him a knowing look
"So you two did work things out" Jessie smiled "I saw you 2 at Nationals 2 years ago and you looked cosy then. I`m happy" he nodded
"Married and we have a baby son called Jacob. And I couldn't be happier" Will replied with a huge grin and Jessie smiled back before looking down at the ground.
"I'll guess I'll be seeing you around the school" Jessie added as the pair of them parted ways. Will frowned Jessie sounded sincere but there was something he couldn't quite shake off that he wasn't quite telling the truth. Will just prayed he was wrong and he turned to make his way out of the parking lot where he and Emma would return home to book their weekend away
And there you go. The next chapter will have some of Will and Emma's weekend away and also have some of Finn and Marley, Jake, Kitty and Ryder trying to cheer him up. There will only be 2 more chapters left plus 6 months after at the end of the fic so it is coming to a close. This is kinda the beginning of the end really. So please review and I'll try and get the next chapter up as quickly as I can but I apologise if I can't sometimes real life gets in the way.
