Flaws & all - Will Schuester loves Emma Pillsbury, he loves her red hair, her big brown eyes, he even loves her excessive cleaning and obsessive routines, he loves every freckle on her body. To put it bluntly, he couldn't imagine living without her, which is good, because she doesn't think she'd survive without him.

Will woke the next morning when he felt Emma crawl out of his loose embrace and leave the room. He was expecting her to check on Sophie, he knew she woke sometimes and was unable to fall back to sleep until she's used the bathroom and checked on their daughter, so he was surprised to hear her going downstairs. He glanced at the clock, 5:07. He sighed, rolled onto his back and folded his arms behind his head. He waited for 10 minutes before he stood from the bed, shivering as his feet hit the cold wooden floor, and followed his wife's path downstairs.

"Em" he called softly finding the living room, downstairs bathroom and the study empty. "Oh Em" he sighed as he saw the kitchen light was on and the back door keys hung from the lock. He left the kitchen and took his own jacket from the bottom of the stairs and the thick blanket from the back of the sofa in the study. "Em" he spoke quietly as he approached her not wanting to startle her as she laid, curled into a ball, on the wooden bench in the back yard. "Are you okay?" He laid his jacket over her shoulders and the blanket over her legs. "Do you want me to call Figgins? Tell him you won't be in today?"

Emma shook her head, "I'll be okay". She smiled slightly as Will dropped a kiss to her head, "is Sophie awake?"

"Not yet" he smiled, "I'll be inside if you need me" he knew Emma wanted space so he kissed her again and made his way back inside.

It was over half an hour later when Emma slowly made her way into the kitchen, the blanket wrapped around her shoulders, Will's jacket in her hands, "okay?" Will asked.

Emma nodded and walked into Will's open embrace, "cold".

Will flinched as her bare skin came into contact with his naked chest, "cold? You're freezing Emma!" He began to rub at her arms to try and warm her up, "how about you go get a shower and warm up while I make breakfast, we've got plenty of time so I can make anything you like. How about blueberry pancakes?"

Emma nodded into Will's chest, "that'd be good."

"Okay, you go get showered, get warmed up before you catch a cold, I'll make pancakes."

It was just after 6 when Emma came back into the kitchen, her wet hair fell loose around her shoulders and Sophie sat on her hip. "Look who woke up" she tried to put Sophie in her high chair but the young girl began to whine and grip onto the blue towelling fabric of Will's dressing gown that was wrapped tightly around her mother's body, "and she's still tired." Emma smiled as she sat at the table with Sophie on her lap.

Will greeted Sophie and kissed her red curls before he placed a stack of pancakes in front of Emma. Neither adult was surprised when Sophie's face lit up at the sight of the food. Will laughed, "look what daddy's got" he held up the pink plastic plate with two small pancakes on, setting it on the table opposite Emma and taking a pink plastic fork from the cutlery drawer. "Come on then" he took Sophie from Emma, "let Mama eat her breakfast". He waited for Emma to finish her pancakes before he passed Sophie over, "she's all yours". He watched Emma settle the small girl at her breast before he cleaned up the plates, "I'm going to shower" he told her, "I won't be long"

Will walked back into the kitchen a while later to find that both Emma and Sophie were now dressed, Sophie sat in her high chair playing happily with a few toys as Emma stood by the stove, "I'm making you breakfast" she told him as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck, "it's scrambled eggs on toast, is that okay? I put cheese and ham in the eggs."

"That's perfect darling" he smiled kissing her again before moving to sit beside Sophie.

Emma couldn't help but smile as she plated up Will's breakfast and turned towards the table, Sophie kept sliding her hand over the tray of her high chair towards Will before pulling it back quickly and giggling every time Will reached out to grab her hand. Emma found her free hand moving to rest on her flat stomach, she knew Will would be a brilliant father to Sophie and the baby and she just hoped she didn't let her family down.

"Earth to Emma" she blinked and found Will stood in front of her, "are you okay?"

"Yeah" she blinked back the tears from her eyes, "Here" she handed him the plate, "your breakfast is ready, I, I need to use the bathroom."

By the time Emma came back from the bathroom Will and Sophie had moved to the living room, there was still almost an hour before they had to leave for work. "Hey." Will smiled softly as Emma came back into the room, he could tell she'd been crying, "are you okay?" Emma nodded and walked over to sit beside Will but he pulled her onto his lap, "it's okay to be scared you know" he took a deep breath, "I know you had a plan, and this baby wasn't on the plan right now but these are the cards that we've been dealt, it sounds harsh but we've just got to get on with it. If you need time Emma, if you want to cry, scream, if you just want me to hold you, whatever, I don't mind Emma, if there's anything I can do to make you feel a little bit better about this please tell me."

"Just" Emma took a shaky breath, "don't leave me Will."

"I'm not going anywhere." He glanced over at Sophie, "Emma! he gasped, pointing at their daughter who was crawling unsteadily towards them.

"Oh Sophie" Emma jumped from Will's lap and scooped her into her arms, "you clever clever girl" she kissed her daughters head as she span round to Will.

"She's going to be everywhere we don't want her now!" Will smiled taking Emma in his arms and kissing Sophie.

"You'll have to put the stair gates up when we get home."

Will glanced at the clock, "are they still in the spare bedroom?"

"Yeah."

"You get her bag ready, I can do them before we go."

"Hey Schuester." Emma hadn't gone to the staff room with Will, once they'd arrived at school she'd gone straight to her office. He'd dropped off his briefcase and collected his mug, there was no way he could get through first period without caffeine. Sue greeted Will, and then frowned at an english teacher who walked through the door just a minute after Will. She waited for him to make his coffee before picking up her own mug and nodding towards the door, "walk with me." Will didn't question Sue, he just followed her into the corridor. "How is she?" Sue asked once they were out of earshot.

Will sighed, "I don't know, I think she's scared, she didn't plan it and she hates that." He sighed again, "I just wish I could make it better for her."

"Take her out." Sue said firmly, "take her on a date, don't talk about Sophie, don't talk about babies or work, just enjoy some time together, take her our for dinner, go to the movies, when did you last spend some time together as Will and Emma instead of being Sophie's parents?"

"I don't know, probably when Emma was pregnant with Sophie."

"You've found it hard to find time alone since you had Sophie?" Will nodded, "so you need to make the most of the time you have now, it'll only get harder once you've got another one."

"I guess so."

"You know I'm right Schuester, Brittany and Santana will be at your house for 7pm tomorrow night."

"What?" Will was puzzled.

"What? You weren't expecting me to look after the kid were you, now go make some reservations, buy her flowers or something, whatever, I'm not doing any more I've got a reputation to keep up." She started to walk towards her office but stopped at the end of the corridor, "oh and Schuester?"

"Yeah?"

"We never had this conversation."
