A/N: Wow! Once again, thank you all very much for the alerts and reviews! ^_^ I'm hoping to get this story completed by the 16th, cuz that's when I return to reality and go back to university. Hope you enjoy this.

Chapter 3 – Emma's Arrival

"Emma," his voice rose with the shock of seeing his former girlfriend. "Wha…what are you doing here?"

"Well Carl and I thought that as you're busy grading papers, we'd come by with the food," she smiled sweetly at him. Will nodded not really sure of what to say.

"Umm…where's Carl?" he questioned and looked around.

"Oh, he's parking the car,"

This is not good, he thought. Telling Emma and her husband about Rachel was completely out of question. The thought of them finding out actually made him very nervous, how could he tell them without it making him sound like an asshole? He couldn't just go up to them and say 'oh hey, thanks for bringing food, but could you leave? I'm in love with this woman, she's in my room naked cuz I just fucked her, so could you please come back later? Oh by the way, its Rachel, my STUDENT' his mind screamed, but all his mouth could produce was a an uncharacteristic sound.

Emma stood outside, looking at Will something about him looked different, and his shoulders were so tense they almost looked painful, but the spark of his eyes was back and brighter than ever. When Carl joined them, he smiled politely at Will. After a few moments of staring at each other, Carl spoke first, "Umm aren't you going to invite us in?"

"We..Well…you see the thing is…Umm…I wasn't kidding when I said I had lots of papers to grade. I wouldn't be much of a host today,"

"Nonsense, Em told me you were kind of lonely on Friday, so we're here to eat, laugh and keep you company," Carl said through a smile and made himself at home by walking in. Instantly when he did, he noticed the duvet on the couch along with a pillow and a discarded t-shirt, "you sleep on the couch?" he asked with a raised brow.

"No. I-I-I was watching a movie and I got cold," Will lied and scratched the back of his neck.

Emma carefully walked around the room, not wanting to touch anything out of place. "So as I was telling Carl, you seemed really upset Friday Will. You know you can talk to me, right?"

Will nodded, "I was just tired Em, I'm fine," Carl nodded and walked to the kitchen to grabbed himself a glass. Just then he noticed the black heels that belong to Rachel. He shook his head and smiled. He had a woman over!

"So Will, been doing much lately?"

"Not really. How are the patients? Still have teeth I hope," Will smirked.

Carl laughed along, "So when have you started wearing women's shoes? I must say you have really small feet." He laughed as he examined the heel.

Emma's eyes widened at her husband, "honey," she warned, "Wi…"

"I think Will has a visitor already Sweetie Pie, that's why he's acting nervous," he walked over to Will and examined him, as if he was a study at a museum. "You see all those sweat pebbles there? Classic sign of nervousness or fear," he smiled, "you're not hiding a criminal in the room are you?" Carl joked. Will continued to stare at them in silence, not really knowing what to tell him. Truth was, Carl was very correct, Will was both nervous and scared, and a part of him felt disgusted of himself, here he was protecting his and Rachel's affair but never once did he think about how she was probably feeling right then, stuck in his room, hiding from the world probably feeling like his dirty little secret. That was low, very low, he thought. He was so much in love with Rachel and he wanted to scream it from the rooftops, but he knew it would jeopardise so much. "Should we check the apartment? Make sure everything is A-Okay?" Carl continued to joke and as he started to walk towards the bedroom, Will's eyes widened.

"Alright, enough of this charade. Yes! I have a woman. Yes, she is still in my room. So please?" his tone begged them to get the message and leave.

However, Emma was as clueless as ever, and grinned, "Oh. Okay. We have enough food for her too,"

"Em honey, I think we interrupted Will and his lady friend," Carl gently told her.

"Interrupted wha…oh!" her eyes widened when the message reached her. "We're so sorry," she said as she reached for the door. "I see you Monday Will." She mumbled then rushed out the door in her panicky way.

"Have fun buddy," Carl patted him on the shoulder than left after his wife. Will shut the door rapidly and then leaned against it, before he sighed in relief.

Rachel, he thought then ran to the bedroom. "Rach…I'm so sor…," not seeing her, he frowned and walked further in, "Rachel?"his called. Noticing a folded paper with her handwriting on it, he grabbed and frowned as he sat on the bed ready to read it.

I'm sorry but I had to go, I promised my Dad's I'd be home by noon. I'll try to come by tomorrow if I can. :) I hope you're not having regrets about us.
I meant what I said.

I love you.

Yours, Rachel xx

Will sighed, and sent her a text before he leaned back on the bed and rubbed his hands over his eyes, 'what has happened to me?' he thought, 'I used to despise teachers that had affairs with students, thinking the lowest of the low. Now I'm one of them,' he thought. "Oh God" he moaned aloud. Just then, his doorbell rang once again, startling him from his thoughts. "What now?" he mumbled as he strolled to the front door for the second time that day.

"Oh Will, sorry to interrupt you again, I wouldn't do it normally but I desperately need to use the bathroom to wash my hands, I just touched some used gum," Emma cried in panic, as she mumbled through and the only words Will picked up after that was germs and everywhere.

"Yeah, of course,"

She rushed past him not even thanking him as tears fell down her face. When she reached the bathroom, she turned the water on and scrubbed her shaking hands rapidly. Crying when the boiling water harshly burnt onto her soapy fingertips, "scrub harder Emma," she breathed. A few moments later when the pain of scrubbing got too much, she turned the water off and breathed out a sigh of relief. "Much better," she murmured. Turning to leave, she noticed something vibrating on the desk stopping her stroll, and as she turned her attention to it, she frowned in confusion, "this is a very girlie phone for Will to have." She wondered as she studied the glittery phone with golden stars that made her instantly think of Rachel Berry, she studied it further. It had a few missed calls and a message. 'Maybe this is his new girlfriend's phone. He never told me her name, mind you he seemed awfully eager to get Carl and I out,' she thought, and as she opened the message, she felt even more confused than before.

"Hey Rach, I am so sorry about earlier, did u get home ok? Hope your dad's didn't suspect anything. :) Love you, Will x"

"Rachel? Could it be?" her breathing got faster as a thousand questions swam through her mind. No it couldn't be, there must be a logical explanation, maybe his new girlfriend has the same name. Stars are very popular, she argued with her mind, "don't be silly Emma, Will wouldn't do that,"

"Emma?" Will called, "are you okay?"

Startling her, she jumped and gasped, "I-I. Yeah. Fine," putting the phone back, she fixed her hair on the mirror then opened the door. "Sorry about that," she smiled but avoided his gaze. As she started walking towards the front door, she turned back, "Will, you know the girl that stayed here last night? Is she making you happy?"

Will smiled, thinking it was a weird questioned, "Yeah. I guess so. She's making me happier than I've been in a long time," that was the truth; he was very much in love with Rachel, when he thought of her, it made him so happy. She made him fell young, loved and so much more.

Emma nodded, "What's her name?"

Will blinked for several seconds, thinking of a suitable name, "Charlotte," he lied and faked a smile.

Emma looked down at her feet before she opened the door, "I-I'll see you Monday," she whispered through a broken voice then left, with doubt in her mind about Rachel. Will had lied and Emma needed to find the underlying cause of this. Monday, she'd question Rachel.

TBC…

A/N: Hey guys, sorry for such a short crappy chapter, I was lacking inspiration but no worries I got it back towards the end and I'm already starting with the next chapter. Expect sexy smut from our couple and some interrogation from Emma in the next couple of episodes. These two will not have an easy beginning I'm afraid.
