Will wakes up to the sun shining bright, turning over to see the sunshine capture his beautiful wife's face. She looked so peaceful and she was all Will's when he realized it was her birthday. Will makes his way to the kitchen taking a detour to Danny's room to check on him only to see his son's eyes wide open, just as bigs as Emma's. Seeing Will made Danny smile reaching for his daddy to pick him up and cuddle him.
"Good morning, Danny." He cooed as a giggle escaped Danny's mouth with Danny's cubby arms reaching up towards Will. Will picks him up and makes his way towards the kitchen again setting Danny in his high chair and started to make Emma breakfast. After finishing the food he took the food to their room placing the food next to the bed gently and quietly, careful not to wake her up. Will makes his way back to the kitchen to get Danny and makes his way back to their room. Will places Danny on the bed and Will knows what Danny is going to do, because he always does it. Danny starts walking on the bed to where Emma was, sits done directly beside her and starts squealing, "Mommy!" Showing so much excitement just seeing his mom, his smile as big as ever, his hands clapping together, and his big, bright eyes showing his happy he is. Emma opens one eye at a time to see her baby boy right beside her.
"Oh, Hi Danny! How is my baby?" Emma cooed while tickling his stomach. Danny giggled and squirmed until Emma stopped when she realized someone was staring at them, it was her loving husband, Will. Emma sits up and smiles at Will as Will smiles back he says,
"Happy Birthday, Em!"
Making his way to the side of the bed so he could kiss her. After they kissed Will handed her the tray of food and picked up Danny from the bed. "We will give you some peace and quiet."
"No! Will!"
"What's wrong, baby?"
"Umm, I want you both to stay... With me..."
"Okay, Sweetheart. We will stay."
"Good."
Will makes his way back yo their bed and sits Danny in between the two of them.
"So, what are the plans for the day?"
"Whatever you want to do, Em."
"I just want to stay home, but we still have to dress nice because someone is going to make a fancy dinner for us."
"And who is that going to be?" Will winked at her.
"Oh, shut up and kiss me!"
They kissed and then got dressed for the day. Later on in the day Emma was playing with Danny on the floor when the doorbell rang. Will was in the bathroom taking a shower and he usually answers the door but now Emma had to and she had no idea who it could be, so she went to go answer it leaving Danny by himself, playing with his toys. She finally made it to the door and pulled it open go find two people, the people she thought nothing about, the people who called her names, the people she just wanted to be loved by, it was her parents. They didn't know anything about her life anymore and her they are standing at her front door. Rose was the first to say something "Happy Birthday, Emma!" She exclaimed and then Rusty came up behind Rose and said the same thing. Rose finally breaks the silence again "Umm, Emma can we come in?"
"Ermm, uhhh, sure, I guess."
Rose and Rusty walk into the kitchen area as Emma shuts the door. "Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?"
"We haven't seen you in awhile or talked to you."
"Since the wedding actually."
"Oh, well, it's your birthday and we thought this would be a good time, is it?"
"Is what?"
"Is this a good time?"
"Ermm, I guess so."
Emma was silently freaking out when she finally came back to her senses then she remember DANNY! She ran to the living room, leaving her parents in the kitchen, and she saw Danny still playing with his toys like a good boy. Emma smiles at him and makes her way closer to him when he finally sees she is back he squeals her name leaving Emma with a smile on her face. "Danny, let's go meet some people, huh?"
He was still excited to see Emma and squealed "Mommy" again. Emma picks up Danny, grabbing one of his toys and hands it to him when her parents emerged in the door way. Emma stood as still as possible as her parents make their way to her staring at her as shocked as ever. They didn't say a word so Emma broke the silence this time.
"Mom, Dad, say something.."
Danny knew something was wrong that's when he started crying. Danny always could sense things and Emma hated that he could she hated to see her baby crying. Emma pulled Danny's head to her shoulder, cuddling him, and swaying.
"It's okay, Danny. Mommy won't let anything happen, I promise."
Will enters the room looking from his wife and child to his in-laws.
"Emma, what is going on here?"
"Will!"
She ran to Will, who had his arms open, and snuggled into his chest crying.
"What did you do to them?" Will asked Emma's parents.
"Will, calm down it's not what it seems."
"Yeah, well it looks like it. My son is crying, my wife is upset, what else does it look like?"
Emma lifts her head and looks up at Will.
"No, Will, she is telling the truth. They didn't do anything."
"Honey, then why are you so upset?"
"Because of Danny."
"What happened with him?"
"He sensed the mood."
"He certainly is his mother."
"Will!"
"Sorry, Em." They were both smiling now and Danny automatically stopped crying reaching for Will, which he gladly took from Emma's arms. Will gently kissed her on her lips and Emma turned around yo talk to her parents.
"Emma, we had no idea."
"No idea about what dad?"
"Umm, what's his name?"
"Oh, you mean Danny?"
"Yeah."
"Look, it's not your fault I guess since I never told you guys that I was pregnant, that he was born, or that he even existed. He is definitely blessed with just Will and I."
"He looks very loved and healthy."
"Thank you."
"Before we leave, can we..."
"Hold him?"
"Yeah."
"Of course, just be careful."
Emma motions Will over picking Danny up from Will's arms and handing him over to Rose.
"Is Danny his real name?"
"No, mom. It's actually Daniel Finn."
"That's a lovely name. How old is he?"
"Just a little over a year old."
"Rusty!"
"What?" Rusty had asked.
"Look,He is ginger!"
Emma rolled her eyes and look at Will, who looked very anxious to have Danny back. "He's very handsome, Emma and Will."
"He is going to be prince charming one day." Rose had stated as Emma giggled a little. After Rusty held him he transferred his grandson back to Will and started talking to Will. Rose and Emma went to another room to talk.
"Look, Emma. I really had no idea that you would be a mother."
"Why do you say that?"
"Your OCD, honey, it was horrible."
"Mom, Will helps me and your face of shock made me so upset."
"I am sorry, sweetie, but I see that Danny makes you better. I am so glad that I have a grandson and the way you comforted him made my heart melt. It was beautiful." Rose got up and walked with Emma to Will, Rusty, and Danny.
"Thanks, mom."
"We better go, Rose."
"Emma, honey, call me if you need me. Make sure to send me pictures of Danny."
"Alright, mom, I will. Love you both!"
As they left I realized that this was one of the best birthday's and that I didn't have to hide Danny anymore.
