A few days had passed since Emma decided on giving Terri one more chance, and within those few days, Terri had come and gone to discuss it with them. They had a very civilised conversation, other than a few choice words from Emma, which is totally understandable, considering she is hormomal and Terri's enemy. They decided that Will would only be able to see Terri three times a week for no more than 1 hour and 30 minutes at a time. Emma felt bad for being the wife that forced her spouse into doing and not doing certain things, but this was for the best. She was, after all, 7 months pregnant and expected to look after a 3 year old on her own when he was out. Will happily agreed and Terri just nodded - probably to just keep the peace. But later that night, when Terri had gone, Will made it up to Emma in more ways than one. That night was one of the best nights that either of them had shared with each other in a while, and they did not regret what they done the day after, neither. They didn't clean, cook, or even move from their spot. Other than to go to the toilet and get food and drink, obviously. They stayed in bed all day, cuddling, watching old movies and whispering sweet nothings into each others ears. This was one of the only times they could get away from being parents, so they weren't about to let it go to waste. That was, of course, until Emma's parents called to say that they took Dalton to the hospital because he had tripped and split open his leg on some wood. Being the person that Emma was, her mind immediately flew to every possible situation and got all worked up, causing her to have a panic attack. Will had soon calmed Emma down enough to take her to the hospital to pick up Dalton.
"Mummy! Daddy!" Dalton cheered from the hospital bed.
"Hey, buddy! Have you had a bit of a battle with some wood?" Will joked. He nodded and Will and Emma looked at his leg. His cut wasn't too large, but it was rather deep. Luckily, they had already stitched it up, so they shouldn't be waiting long.
"I have to have an operation!" Emma's eyes widened and the colour drained from her face. Her heart started beating fast.
"You-you have to do what? Is it really that bad? Is there no other way it can be okay again?" Her breathing quickened.
"Hah! Joke!" Dalton laughed and Emma sighed. Will let out a slight chuckle and Emma slapped him.
"I'm pretty sure I just had a heart attack, that wasn't funny." She rolled her eyes. "How did he do it, anyways?" She turned to her parents who were sat in the chairs.
"Your father was chasing him around the garden, and the next thing I know, I hear a scream and Dalton had tripped up the decking. He must have cut himself on a loose piece of wood." Rose replied and Emma nodded.
"Is it rude if I ask you to get it fixed?" She blushed.
"No, not at all. We were going to do it today. We can't put anyone at risk, especially our family!" Emma smiled.
"How long have you been here?" Will asked them.
"Uhm... Just coming up to 3 hours." Rusty replied with a slight yawn.
"Why don't you two go home? It must not be comfortable in those chairs for that long. Emma and I will stay here." The Pillsbury's smiled and thanked Will while getting up and leaving. Will and Emma would have to go and pick Dalton's stuff up later on. "Ems, why don't you go and take a seat?" He asked, placing a hand on her hip.
"I'm okay standing, thank you." She smiled.
"No, Emma, please? Go and sit down." Emma sighed but done as Will asked.
"When are we going home?" Dalton asked.
"I don't know, bud. We just need to wait for the Doctor." Will smiled and went to sit down next to Emma. He picked up her hand and held it in his. "Try to get some sleep. I know you didn't get much last night, plus we don't know how long we are going to be here for." Emma smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, still keeping a firm grip on his hand.
"Why didn't mummy get much sleep? I thought she had to go to bed early?" Will smirked and Emma giggled slightly.
"Me and your mummy were up late having a little party." Dalton gasped.
"Without me?" He pouted.
"Sorry, Dalts, maybe another time!" Emma slapped Will and he laughed. An hour later, a Doctor walked into the room and Will shook Emma to wake her up.
"I'm up, I'm up." She said sleepily, sitting up straight.
"Okay, he's free to go." The Doctor nodded to Will and Emma and left the room again.
"Well, he was helpful..." Muttered Will as he picked Dalton up. "Can you walk, or do you want a piggyback?" He knew the answer already and lifted him onto his back. He held Dalton's leg with one hand and held Emma's hand in the other. They walked to car and got all seated.
"Don't forget to stop off at my parents to pick up his stuff." Emma turned and said to Will as they set off. He nodded and drove them to the Pillsbury's and then to their own home. When they arrived home, Will's phone went off.
"Uhm, Terri wants me to go and meet up?" He blushed and bit his lip. Emma sighed.
"You only saw her 2 days ago? Uhm, just-just go..." She sat on the couch and Dalton sat on her lap.
"No, I'm staying home with my wife and son." Emma smiled weakly.
"Are you sure? I don't want to pull you away from your bestie?" Emma said sarcastically.
"Emma..." He sat next to Emma on the couch and Dalton shuffled so that he was laying on both of his parents.
"Sorry..." She rolled her eyes and placed her hand in Dalton's hair. "What do you want to do, Dalton? You can do anything! Our special boy needs special treatment! You were extremely brave today!" Dalton grinned.
"Watch Cars!" The parents sighed.
"Really? Again? Aren't you tired of watching this movie?" Emma asked.
"You said anything!" Emma nodded.
"Okay, okay. Cars it is!" Will laughed and got up to put the DVD into the player.
"Aw, shucks. Cars is missing!" He pouted sarcastically and showed them the empty DVD case.
"It's in there already, silly!" Dalton giggled and Will rolled his eyes, smiling. Will turned the DVD on and sat back down next to his family. He wrapped his arm around Emma and pulled her in closer to him. Dalton had repositioned himself to the floor and was happily focusing on the screen. Will kissed his Cinderella on her forehead and she looked up at him and smiled. She placed her lips on his, letting a quiet groan escape from her lips. Soon enough, Emma had fallen asleep on his lap and Will wasn't too far off it, either. It wasn't until the ending credits echoed around the house, causing both of them to shoot up from their sleep in each others arms. Dalton giggled as he watched his parents jump out of their skin and sigh.
"How about I treat my three favourite people to dinner tonight?" Asked Will, still half asleep, while Emma looked confused.
"Three? Me, Dalton, and?" Will rolled his eyes and patted Emma's stomach. She nodded and smiled. "Oh, of course. That would be lovely! Where are we going?"
"Is Breadstix okay for my lady?"
"Your lady thinks that will be perfect." She smirked.
"What about you, buddy? You okay with that?" Dalton nodded. The family got ready for the night, all dressed in fairly casual clothing. They left an hour later, at 6pm, to go and get their meal. The were given a booth fairly quickly and they had ordered their meals within no time. Will looked up at Emma and smiled.
"What are your grinning at, Cheshire Cat?" Emma took a sip from her drink and looked into Will's eyes.
"I think the last time that we were here, it was our wedding meal." Emma raised her eyebrows.
"Have we seriously not been here since then?" Will shook his head.
"Nope! We have ordered from here, but we have not come here since that day." He leant over and grabbed Emma's hand with his.
"Does this call for a celebration, or?" She smirked.
"Well, I would say yes, but no drinking for you!" Emma pouted.
"I haven't had a drink for 7 months! The things I do for family." She sighed and rolled her eyes, obviously joking.
"You were the one that agreed to having another baby, sweetheart!" Will chuckled.
"Hey! Don't blame this all on me!" Emma giggled and Will smiled.
"A toast. To our first meal here in 3 years." The pair clinked their glasses of water and laughed slightly. "What would you say about having another baby, though... Honestly?" Her eyes widened.
"What, another brother or sister!?" Dalton grinned and Will ruffled his hair.
"Keep out of it, nosy!" Will winked and Dalton pretended to zip up his mouth.
"What? A-after Alex?" He nodded.
"Don't say yes because I'm asking you now, say what you think would be best." He gripped her hand tighter and she nodded.
"I'd love to." She smiled and Will leant over to kiss her on the lips.
"Eurgh!" Dalton said. Will and Emma laughed slightly and Emma sniffled.
"Why are you crying, Cinderella?" He wiped her cheek with the pad of his thumb.
"Stupid hormones." She laughed and wiped her cheek again. "I love you."
"I love you too."
