So here is the much late chapter! Please read and I hope you enjoy!

It was Friday. It was the end of the week and Emma was done with it short two days her and Will spent together in the city after the wedding wasn't long enough for either of them. As a plus, it was a half day of school for them. Emma could hear the alarm clock beeping on her side of the bed but she rolled over as much as her pregnant stomach would let her to ignore it.

Will walked out of their bathroom while fixing his tie. He chuckled when he saw her trying to ignore the clock. He laid on his stomach next to her and kiss her forehead, "It's time to wake up, beautiful. Big day ahead of us." Emma groaned and poked his nose. Will laughed, "What're you doing?"

"Looking for the snooze button," She said.

He laughed and kissed her, "Come on," Will sat up and pulled her up with him, "It's a big day. The students have a half day and so do we. Then this afternoon we get to see our little sea monkey," He smiled and kissed her again.

Emma smiled, "I almost forgot about the appointment today," She got out of bed and walked to the closet, "Did you wake Jacob up?" She asked looking through her clothing finding something to wear for the day.

"He's up and eating breakfast," Will said tying his tie for the second time that morning.

Emma walked out of the closet while buttoning her sweater, "You're amazing," She pecked his lips, "Thank you."

"Anything, sweetheart," Will said smiling.

Emma looked in the mirror and ran her hands over her baby bump, "Four more months and we'll have a little baby in the apartment," She took his hand and put it on her stomach, "Do you feel it?"

"Was that the baby kicking?" Will asked smiling.

Emma nodded, "It's been doing that every so often but it's been mostly when we're sleeping."

Will laughed, "Little stinker's already keeping Mommy awake."

She chuckled, "You should go eat. I need to quickly do my hair and then we can leave for school."

Will saluted, "Yes, ma'am."

"Goofball," Emma called after him. She turned on her straightener to let it heat up while she applied her make up. She completed the task of doing her hair then entered the kitchen. Jake and Will were tossing an apple back and forth. She laughed, "I swear, everytime I come into the kitchen something different is happening."

"That's because you miss all the fun, Mom," Jake said taking a bite out of the apple, "Forty tosses before she came into the room," He said in his dad's direction.

"New record," Will said giving him a high-five.

Emma shook her head and laughed. She walked to the fridge and got herself a yogurt, "Did you add this?" She asked looking at the list of names.

Will nodded, "Yeah," He said walking up behind her, "Do you like that name?"

"Yeah," Emma said agreeing with his suggestion, "Cory sounds like a good name," She wrote Matthew down underneath Cory in the boy name column, "You know," She began, "we're going to have to erase one of these lists later."

"That's right," Will said smiling, "Today we can find out the gender."

"Cool," Jake said from his spot at the counter as he was flipping through the television channels looking for ESPN. He and Will missed the final score for the Indians vs Brewers game the night before and he really wanted to know.

"Which do you hope for it to be, Jacob?" Emma asked, "Little brother or little sister?"

"Brother," Jake answered quickly, "But I guess a sister wouldn't be too bad," He added with a shrug, "As long as I have someone to skateboard with."

Will laughed and Emma shook her head, "Your little sibling isn't going to be learning tricks on a skateboard until they're thirteen. I don't need another child to worry about breaking a bone."

Jake looked down at his bright green cast on his left wrist that he had put on Wednesday, "I'm twelve," He'd fallen while trying to do a jump off a set of stairs a few days before the wedding. Until Wednesday, Jake had a soft cast and a sling. Emma wasn't very happy with him or his skateboarding hobby at the moment.

"Exactly," Emma said before putting the last spoonful of yogurt, "You're out for the fall season."

"Coach said I could still run drills," Jake said, "I just can't play in the games."

Will shrugged, "Same thing, Bud. You're benched. Like Kevin Ware during March Madness last season." Emma shuddered remembering that injury.

Jake nodded and laughed at his mom, "Am I going to Grandma and Grandpa's after school today?"

Emma looked at Will who had arranged everything for that afternoon. Will nodded, "Yeah. Grandpa is going to help you with that woodshop project you have due at the end of the quarter."

"Awesome," Jake said, "I get to go into the Kill House."

Emma laughed and almost choked on her tea, "Kill House?" She looked at Will, "Isn't that what you called the garage in high school?"

"Because of the screeching sound the saws made right?" Jake asked.

"And all the red paint that my dad used to paint the things he constructed," Will added.

"I can't believe you taught our son to call it the Kill House," Emma said shaking her head while pouring herself some tea into a travel mug, "Jacob, are you ready to go?"

"Sure," Jake said picking up his bag. Will picked up his car keys and followed his wife and son out to his old, blue and rusty pickup truck.

After the final bell rang, Will waited for the rest of his students to hand in their tests before taking the trip down to Emma's office. He peered into the window. She was meeting with a student and he didn't want to interrupt her. Will stood in her view and pointed towards the doors where they had parked and pretended to be eating. She nodded holding back a laugh and with a small confused look on her face while still trying to focus on the teenager who was talking.

Emma's student left then she met Will at the car, "What the hell was that charade you were doing?" She asked laughing as she sat in the passenger's seat.

Will laughed, "It was that bad?" She nodded, "I was trying to say meet me at the car so we could get lunch but I guess it just looked like I was dancing."

"At first I thought you were just dancing," Emma laughed, "Then you did that eating thing and you lost me."

"Sorry about that then," He pecked her lips, "I'll work on my charades skills for the next time that I have to do that."

She nodded, "What do you want to do for lunch?"

"What does baby want for lunch?" Will answered with a question.

"Baby is up for anything," Emma answered, "How about Olive Garden?"

"Sounds delicious," Will answered. He drove them to the restaurant where they had lunch. Emma stared out the window on the way to the doctor's office. Will reached over and gently rubbed her shoulder, "You okay? You're quiet."

Emma nodded and looked at him giving him a smile, "Of course I am. I'm just thinking."

Will nodded, "About what?"

"Stuff." She answered promptly, "Mostly just about the baby I guess. I've been doing that a lot lately." Emma looked away from the window and back to Will, "Do you want a boy or girl?"

"Either is fine with me. As long as our child is healthy," Will said glancing away from the road for a moment to give her a smile.

Emma shook her head, "Come on, Will. I know you have a preference. Everyone does."

Will took her hand and twisted her wedding ring, "I guess having a little girl wouldn't be so bad."

Emma smiled, "Really?" She asked. She too wanted a little girl but she wasn't sure yet, "I don't know yet. Another boy would be fun but a girl would be different since we already have Jacob."

Will nodded then pulled the old truck into a parking spot in front of the doctor's office. He got out then walked around to help Emma out. Will kissed her head as they walked in, "Ready to see our baby?"

Emma nodded then walked to the front desk to check herself in. She joined Will where he was sitting in the waiting room. The nurse called them back after a few minutes and Emma had her normal check up. The doctor came in to start the ultrasound. Everything was going well according to the doctor, "Would you like to know the gender today?"

"Yes please," Emma said nodding. She gave Will's hand a gentle squeeze and he kissed her hand as they watched the screen.

"Well, it looks like you two are having a baby," The doctor began trying to get a clearer picture on the screen, "girl!"

Emma's hand clasped over her mouth, "Oh my goodness!"

Will looked at the screen teary eyed, "My girls," He said with a watery laugh. He reached up and kissed Emma. The doctor cleaned everything up and sent them home. Will helped Emma into the car then got in himself.

She gave him a smile as he started the car and held his hand, "We're having a little girl," She squeezed his hand.

"I'm very excited now." Will stated as he pulled out of the parking lot into the road, "I guess that we should start getting everything ready now before you pop." He laughed at his own little joke.

Emma lightly smacked his arm, "Stop it," She stuck out her tongue at him and he reciprocated it. Both of them laughed and Emma looked down at her stomach, "Daddy's being mean baby."

Will laughed and kissed her cheek, "I love you."

"I love you too," Emma said with a smile. Will pulled into a parking space in front of the apartment building. She took out her keys and let them into the apartment. Will stood in the living room looking at the boxes of furniture that they'd gotten as wedding presents. Emma came up behind him with a glass of iced tea, "Do you have any idea how to put this together?"

Will nodded, "I think I do," He walked over to a smaller box, "Shall we begin with the simple stuff and work our way up to the bigger things?"

"Sure," Emma answered, "We'll be well practiced by then." She sat on the floor next to him and put her glass on the coffee table. She looked at the instructions, "Where do we keep the screw driver?"

"I don't know," Will laughed, "You've been living here for almost ten years."

Emma rolled her eyes and got up, "Sure, make the pregnant one go searching," She said in a tone. She came back into the room and handed him the screw driver.

"Thank you," Will said and gave her a small peck on the lips. Together they attempted to but the baby swing together. After a while Will began to give up. He put the instructions down and buried his face in his hands, "If I can't figure out how to put a baby swing together, how am I going to be able to raise a child?"

Emma gave him a confused looked, "What are you talking about?"

"We have no clue what we're going, Emma!" Will exclaimed as he looked back up at her.

She shook her head, "You don't, Will. You don't know what you're doing. You say this everyday. Don't you think if I thought you weren't ready I would've said something?"

"Em, you're a natural at all this. I just found out I was a father when my oldest child was already eleven years old." Will worried about this everyday but didn't know how to talk to Emma about it, which was a problem within itself. Marriage was about trust."

Emma ran her hand through her hair and rested a hand on top of her stomach, "I'm sick of this, Will. If you feel like you aren't ready to raise a child with me then leave. Go ahead and be the second guy in my life to leave me while I was pregnant."

Will looked at her, "Second? Second guy?"

"It's nothing." Emma said fighting tears from past memories.

"No, tell me." Will said, "We're married and marriage is about trust."

"Jacob was a year and a half old. I had just began my first year at Lima Community College. I had a small group of friends from high school still. They were all really supportive of me and my decision to be a single mother while I was still a teenager. One of them introduced me to this guy, Chandler. He was in the air force but he was off duty for a few months and he was staying with his parents in Lima. He was great with Jacob," Emma took a deep breath and wiped a tear that was running down her cheek, "We were together for about five months before he proposed to me and then a few weeks after that we found out I was pregnant."

Will's eyes widened, "Pregnant, Emma?"

Emma nodded, "That pregnancy was hard for me. I was wedding planning, in school and was trying to keep up with an 18-month old who had just figured out how to run and talk. Chandler then found out that he was being stationed away from Lima. In Texas. Jacob and I couldn't go with him unless we were married and we had two months before we had to move. We began to plan the wedding faster and my stress levels began to raise quickly. I-I," Emma had trouble saying the next few words.

Will sat on the couch next to her and rubbed her back while wiping away a few of her tears, "What happened next, sweetheart?" He asked in a soothing tone.

"I lost the baby when I was five months pregnant," She said quietly, "It was the day we were supposed to find out the gender. I had to go alone because someone needed to watch Jacob and he had to talk to his boss. There was no heartbeat when they started the ultrasound. I came home in tears and told Chandler after Jacob went down for his nap. After we talked for awhile, we decided to call the engagement off and he went to Texas without us a few weeks later. I was left with Jacob, the apartment and all the finances that we shared when he lived with us," Emma hugged Will and buried her face in his chest, "I haven't heard from him since," She looked up at him. Just the way he was looking at her seemed to soothe her a tiny bit. "It felt like the time that I lost you but I wasn't as in love with Chandler as I was with you."

Will shook his head, "Why didn't you tell me sooner, Em? You know you can trust me with anything."

"I-I don't know. I never really liked talking about it but today with the appointment and seeing our little girl and you so frustrated that you couldn't even put the swing together make me think about all of it." Emma wiped the rest of her tears away and sniffled, "I love you."

Will grinned hoping she would too, "I love you too. I love you, and Jacob and the little one on the way." He kissed her forehead, "You know that right?" She nodded, "I don't have any plans anytime soon to leave you for Texas or Broadway or even Maple Street two blocks away. I'll always be here for you."

Emma smiled and curled up next to him on the couch, "You always know how to make me feel better. And I love it."

He smiled and stroked her hair, "I'm glad I always can."

"Who do you think she'll look like?" Emma asked rubbing her stomach feeling the baby kick.

"You, of course," Will said softly, "She'll be beautiful like her Mommy."

"And talented like her Daddy," Emma said looking up at him. She took his hand and rested it on her stomach, "She's kicking again. I'm thinking she's going to be a dancer like you."

Will smiled. He thought it would be nice to have a child who had as much interest in the arts as he did. Someone who he could go see shows with and have in glee club when they were in high school. He knew Jake wasn't interested in any of that. Jake was more of a sports guy who like adventure, much like Will when he was that age but Jake didn't show any signs of changing when he got to high school like Will did. "I'll make dinner tonight for you and Jake. Then later, we can talk about baby names and clothing and furniture and diapers and all that wonderful baby stuff later when we're both in better moods. Does that sound alright to you?"

Emma nodded, "I think I'm going to take a nap."

"You should," Will said letting her get up from the couch, "It's been an exciting day for you." He watched Emma walk to their bedroom to take a nap then he walked to the kitchen to make dinner. Jake came home about an hour later. "Hey bud," Will said as he put a pan of lasagna into the oven to bake, "How was working in the Kill House?"

"It was pretty cool," Jake said putting his backpack down by the door, "Where's Mom?" He sat down at the counter and took an apple.

"She's taking a nap," Will answered while wiping up some sauce that he had spilled.

"Oh," Jake said confused. He never really knew his mom to take naps. "How was the doctor?"

Will nodded, "It went well. Everything is going well with the baby. We found out that we're having a girl."

Jake grinned, "Cool. So does this mean that I'm sharing my room or something?"

"I don't think so. Mom said something about you keeping your room to yourself and us probably putting the crib in our room for the time being," Will answered. He and Emma had never really talked about this.

"Cool," Jake replied, "What're you making?"

"Lasagna," Will answered. He was quiet for a second, "You think that Mom and I are ready for a second child?"

"Sure," Jake answered, "I mean I turned out alright. I don't see why you two can't do it again."

Will smiled, "Thanks, Jake."

This story is coming an end quickly for two reasons: 1. The plot is almost finished with 2. I'm getting no readers.

I love writing and I'm posting here because I want other people to read my writing because I know none of my friends will. But lately I haven't been getting many view or reviews for chapters.

I'm considering writing a sequel to A Game Changer as soon as summer starts for me but I only will if people are interested in reading it. So, please tell me what you think about a sequel and this chapter!

R&R!
