Young Love Chapter 8
Months have now passed and Emma had fully healed from her surgery and no longer was in her cast and was fully able to return to her normal activities. And it was now the night before Thanksgiving and Will and Emma were looking forward to spending the time with their families. "After I spend the time with my family I will come by and spend the rest of the evening with you" Will smiled
"Thanks Will, it means a lot, it's going to be a hard time for us all"
"I know it is, and I want to make sure you are alright" Will smiled "and I also want to spend time with you of course" Will laughed.
"It's our first thanksgiving together" Emma smiled
"I know" Will said kissing the top of her head. Will looked over at the clock "It's time for me to get going, it's late" Will said as Emma gave him the sad puppy eyes. "Now don't give me that look" Will laughed "I would love to stay but I cant and you know it"
"I know" Emma sighed "I just…I just hate not being around you, I feel so alone"
"Oh baby you will never be alone you know that, I love you very much and trust me if I could spend the night I would, but I don't think your mom and my parents would like that very much"
"I cant wait till were 18" Emma said standing up from the couch.
"And why is that?"
"Because we could have sleepovers" Emma winked.
"Oh I see" Will smiled as he gently pushed Emma against the wall "Well we only have a little over a year for that to happen" Will winked back and then kissed Emma. "I love you so much" Will hugged her "I will see you tomorrow and honey if you don't feel like me coming over cause you want to spend more time with your family then just call me, what ever you want is fine with me" Will smiled as he stroked her cheek.
"Never" Emma giggled "I don't see my thanksgiving any other way then with you" Emma kissed Will once again and as they pulled away they groaned not wanting it to end "I love you"
"I love you to, have a good night and have sweet dreams"
"I always have sweet dreams about you" Emma once again winked as she closed her front door.
"What's wrong Emma?" Rose asked
"I just hate having to say goodbye to him every night"
"I know you do Emma but I can't have him sleeping over with you, remember what we talked before" Rose said
"I know you said you were ok with it when I'm 18"
"But only every once in awhile it's not like I'm allowing him to move in here"
"I know I just wish I was 18 already" Emma said walking up the stairs.
Rose decided to make a call "Hello Janet? It's Rose, Emma's mother."
"Hello Rose how are you?"
"I'm good just dealing with my daughter who is in love with your son and hates this time of the day" Rose laughed.
"I know Will is the same way." Janet laughed
"I wish there was a way to let them spend a night together, I mean what's the harm in them sleeping in the same bed it's not like anything more will happen"
"Well it is called sex you know" Janet laughed
"Yeah but I had the talk with Emma and no matter what it will happen no matter what we tell them"
"Yeah but don't you think we are encouraging it if we let them sleep in the same bed?"
"Yeah we are but I rather have Emma know that I trust them then them run off and get a motel, at least I know what is going on if he spends the night here or vice versa"
"You have a point but I think we should all sit down with Will and Emma and have that talk again and lay down the rules. So how about Emma comes with us on vacation in March for spring break. That way they can sleep in the same bed but we will know nothing happens because we will be in the same room as them. I think that should be a great way to start and thats in about four months and that way we are not rushing it."
"That sounds like a great idea!" Rose said
"Great and I know they will both like that idea" Janet said laughing
"Oh yeah I think they would love it also! When should we tell them?"
"How about Christmas that way we can turn it into a present" Janet suggested.
"Great idea! Can't wait to see the looks on their faces when we tell them!"
"I know I still just hope we are doing the best for them"
"I know I hope so also" Rose said. "I remember when Lisa was 18 we let her sleep with her boyfriend in the same room but that relationship didn't last much longer they realized they weren't compatible enough to live together. I hope that doesn't happen to them"
"It won't I have never seen my son so happy before in his entire life, he smiles more now then I have ever seen!"
"Yeah between both my daughters I have never seen one so happy before when they started dating but now that Will is in her life she is so happy."
"Well I just hope that they make it through the college years together with as minimal amount of fights" Janet laughed.
"They will I'm sure of it!" Rose said as she looked at the clock "Well it's getting late I should let you get going, it was great talking to you Janet"
"It was nice talking also, and just so you know I am ok with Will spending the night if Emma is just having a bad day or if he gets snowed in over there or whatever it may be you have my permission."
"Ok I will keep that in mind thanks Janet"
The following day Will was walking up to the Pillsbury's front door when he heard a sniffle from around the corner so he walked around to the noise "Emma? Baby what's wrong?" Will said sitting down next to Emma and wrapping his arms around her.
Emma fell into his chest and cried "It's just seems so weird in that house they haven't mentioned my dad once this evening and I just miss him so much"
"I know it's hard Emma but this kind of pain will heal I promise" Will said as he kissed the top of her head.
"The more time passes the more I realize that he is never coming back and I feel like I might forget him"
"Oh honey you will never forget him, your father will always be in your heart you just have to remember all the good times and keep them close to you."
"I'm glad you're here now because you always make me feel better" Emma smiled looking up at Will.
"I love you and all I want to see is you being happy" Will said as he rubbed his thumb over her cheeks to wipe away the tears.
"Emma?" Rose said startling both Will and Emma "Oh I was just checking on you Emma, I didn't realize Will was here already"
"Yeah, uh we will be right in mom" Emma said forcing a smile. Rose left and Emma looked at Will "I guess we should head inside for the rest of our Thanksgiving"
"Ok sounds good" Will said as Emma stood up "Oh and Emma, these are for you" Will said handing Emma some roses.
Emma lifted them to her nose and sniffed the fragrance "Thank you so much Will" Emma said as she planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Happy Thanksgiving Emma"
Will and Emma enjoyed there first Thanksgiving together. Even though Emma wished her father could be there she was thankful for having Will in her life.
