Omniscient POV
A week had passed and Quinn was finally going back to Virginia. Will still didn't know where Emma was. And Sugar didn't want to tell Will even if he did everything to make her. Emma still had her regular check-ups and her baby was very healthy. She had frequent calls with Quinn and she still always listened to Will's frequent declarations of love through voice calls. She still had no courage to answer back. She can't let Will think she'll come back because she doesn't know what's really going to happen.
Months have passed and Emma and Will remained no had gone to the doctor and she had her first baby's picture. And he was beautiful. So, so beautiful. She cherished that picture. Of course Will tried to call Emma all the time but she never answered. Will was getting worst every day. Trying to cheer himself up but the whole Lima reminds him of Emma. No, no matter where he goes he will always remember Emma. When he wakes up alone in the bed. When he eats alone, when he's at work, when things are a mess, when things are very neat and tidy, whenever he sees grapes, whenever he hears the sound of plastic gloves. EVERYTHING! Emma was just his everything and losing her, he would never heal.
It was Emma's 8th month. It was the most crucial month. She felt like a human balloon. Walking around, feeling so exhausted. She felt so useless. She finally knew how hard it was to become pregnant. Quinn was always there for her, trying to relieve her pain all the time. Through good and through bad, Quinn was always there.
It was finally her last month when Quinn and Emma were in Emma's room talking.
"Emmie! It's your last month!"
"Yeah I'm so excited to see the little guy."
"I'd finally be an official doctor once he's born. Isn't it a coincidence?"
"Yeah, it's like I was your project."
"Aw Emma! You're not my project, you're so much more than that."
"Thanks Quinn. But I'm just so excited."
"Oh Emmie, what would happen to us, you know once I graduate."
"Oh yeah, you'd have to go back to Lima."
"Yeah."
"Aw Quinn! I'll miss you so much, this past 9 months were supposed to be the worst months of my life but then you came along. And you helped me."
"Aw Emma, you were always there for me too. And I'm glad to help you. You've been the bestest friend I ever had."
"So? What would happen?"
"I'll be here Emmie, for the next year. I can get a job at the clinic so we can still be together."
"Aw but Quinn, what about the opportunities out there?"
"Don't worry Em, I want to be here."
"Really?"
"Yeah, oh And Emma, can I please, please, please, please tell someone once you give birth please!?"
"What? Who?"
"Mercedes, I mean I'm sure she would never tell anyone. And please just please?"
"But."
"Emma please? I'll tell her once you give birth. Not earlier."
"Ok but I don't want Will to know."
"Emma? Don't you think it's time for him to know? I've been hearing so many things from Mercedes. Hs been so depressed. The glee club is a mess. His life is a mess."
"I don't know, I'm so scared Quinn. What if he never becomes how he was before? What if he'd act that way? I can't have that for my baby." Emma says rubbing her belly.
"Emma, I think he'd do anything for you."
"Hmm, I don't know. I'm allowing you to tell Mercedes but if this spills to anyone else boy Quinnie your going to get it! Especially when I'm not pregnant and I can chase you around the room and torture you with tickles!"
"Oh no! I would never tell anyone! I know those fingers are deadly!" we bout laugh hardly.
"Quinn, I feel something wet. Oh My God Quinn, my water just broke."
"Oh my God come on Em, help me out here." they both stand up and Emma walks slowly. Until they were both out of the door. Quinn and Emma got inside the car as she drove them to the nearest hospital.
The thing is Quinn was the only one there for Emma when she was giving birth. Emma's parents were very busy people so it was really hard for them to get out of work for their hour later Quinn was allowed to come inside the room. There he was, Emma's son. Next to her. Quinn thought Emma was the perfect mother for this child, he got Emma's eyes and nose. But in whole he looked so much like . He had curly hair as well, in the color of the glee club director's hair. She suddenly felt tears in her eyes as she saw this baby, who was her best friend, and her teacher's product of love.
Quinn came closer and Emma whispered.
"Matthew, his name will be Matthew."
"Matthew." I recited seeing the baby in Emma's hands. It was definitely a Matthew.
Quinn took a picture of Emma and Matthew and sent it to Mercedes as fast as she could. "Hi Mercedes! This is Matthew. Please come to Virginia and not tell anyone. I need to talk to you, you'll know everything about this picture when you come."
Mercedes replied almost instantly.
"I'm catching the next flight to virginia. What's all this Quinn? Why is Miss P there?!"
"I won't tell you until you get here." Quinn replied.
Emma was now looking at her little boy with so much love. Quinn felt tears as she saw her best friend with her son. It was the best thing she ever saw. But Quinn felt miserable as well. Sh remembered herself 3 years ago. Except Beth wasn't hers to keep and she wanted to do everything so that Emma and Matthew would be great.
Emma was finally allowed to get out of the hospital, but still Mercedes wasn't there. They both went back to Emma's house while Emma was holding her son in her arms. Quinn told Emma that Mercedes was coming, and Emma had no choice because Quinn already sent the picture to Mercedes, she couldn't get out of this one. Then Quinn suddenly heard her phone buzz. It was Mercedes.
"Hey Quinn! I'm here in Virginia! How would I meet you?" Mercedes texted.
"I'll be fetching you."
"Emmie! I'll just fetch Mercedes okay? I'm sure you could handle."
"Okay, don't take to long Quinnie! Something might happen and you're the better in this."
"Ok." she smiled widely and went to get Mercedes from the airport.
It was a 15 minute drive. She knew what to do. She was going to act calm, so that Mercedes won't be pressured and she was going to tell her everything before they get home. She didn't want Emma to have a hard time explaining why she ran away.
Quinn saw Mercedes almost immediately Mercedes ran into the car and she was serious. Really serious.
"Quinn! What was that picture?"
"It was Miss Pillsbury and her son." Quinn answered starting the car.
"What?! Miss Pillsbury has a son?"
"Yes."
"I don't understand! With who?"
"Duh! Mr Schue!"
"What!" Mercedes stared at Quinn dumbfounded.
"Yes."
"Why did she run away?!"
"Mr. Schue was cold. He didn't even take care of Miss P. she was so depressed with Mr Schue and she knew that she couldn't be pregnant and depressed. It's not good for the baby you know."
"Oh I never knew. It was so unlikely of Mr Schue to be that way."
"Oh Miss Pillsbury tried to tolerate it. When Mr Schue was helping the glee kids, he totally left her hanging, and she was pregnant at the time. She tried to tell Will but they would just get in to a fight because according to him, Ms. Pillsbury was just distracting him. Oh and when the glee cub lost sectionals he lost it. He was drunk everyday. He left Miss P hanging. It's not a very convincing reason but miss Pillsbury Is different. She has OCD and she was pregnant. Imagine how that was like!"
"Oh my God! Since when did you know about Ms Pillsbury being here?"
"Um-" Quinn bit her lip. "That day I told you I was going to Virginia."
"But that was 8 months ago!"
"Exactly, she was in the clinic I was having on the job training. Then I found out that she was one month preggers when she ran away from ."
"Poor Miss P. I'm sure she's having a hard time."
"Well, I was always here!"
"Oh Quinn! But poor Mr. Schue p, he didn't see his child when he was born, and wasn't part of his journey. We should tell him!"
"Mercedes no! Miss Pillsbury only agreed I let you know if you wouldn't tell anyone else."
"What? But Mr Schuester is Matthew's father."
"I tried t tell Miss P that but she just wouldn't budge."
"Dint you know about Mr Schue's new favorite past-time? Calling Miss Pillsbury and leaving her voice calls?"
"Yeah, I want him to stop. Miss P cries every time she hears Mr Schue's voice. She secretly still loves him. She just couldn't bare to be broken again."
Mercedes sighs. "I know it's hard for her. But it's hard for too. But I understand, I promise I won't tell, I promise."
"Ok. Thank you so much. I just needed to tell someone. I still hope for Miss P and 's happy ever after. And Miss P secretly does too."
"I mean who doesn't!?"
Quinn parks the car and announces. "We're here."
Mercedes exclaims a "Wow!" Emma's house was quite big, her parents have saved up a lot for that house.
"Come on, let's go in!" Quinn says while opening the door.
"Wait you have keys?"
"Oh, did I forget to tell you that Me and Miss P are the best of friends?"
"Ummhmm!"
"Oh sorry. We've grew really close and she gave me a duplicate key in case she needed help or I wanted to stay the night." Quinn smiles widely.
"Quinn!" Emma exclaims from her room. Quinn and Mercedes go up to Emma's room to see her rocking her baby in her arms.
"Oh Miss P!" Mercedes says going closer to her.
"Mercedes." Emma says laying Matthew on the bed and reaching out to hug her. After they both pull away Emma retrieves her little son and brings him back closer to her.
"Aw, it's beautiful Miss P."
"Thank you Mercedes." Emma said quite confused why she wasn't asking so many questions.
"Emmie. I guess everything went well when I was away. So how was Matthew while I was gone?" Quinn says getting on the bed and moving closer to them.
"Uh-huh! I can be a mother too!" Emma says poking her tongue out. Mercedes couldn't help but giggle at how happy her guidance counselor was. It made her feel good as well. She could see that the redhead was getting better than she ever saw her before.
"Oh emma, Emma. You do know baby Matthew has to go to sleep now. He had a long day."
"I guess so." Emma rocks her baby and finds him falling asleep in her arms. Emma set him at the crib next to her bed. And watched him peacefully sleeping for a while.
"Hmm! I'm so hungry! Why don't we grab something to eat downstairs?"
"Okay, anything you want Emma." Quinn responds.
Mercedes was close behind them. She never thought Quinn and Miss P were that close, they were even on a nickname bases. She was happy about this but was also sad because she knew that back in Lima Will was grieving. Clueless that he had a son. But she ain't going to tell anyone. That was for sure. She had a secret, and she wasn't planning on taking what Quinn and Emma had.
Soon the three of them were sitting down in the dining table munching on different kinds of food. Emma made them Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches. (without the crust! Duh!) they all munch up their sandwiches and they were left sitting down there doing nothing.
"Miss P! I missed you so much. All of us do!" Mercedes says trying to start a conversation.
"Oh." Emma says blankly, knowing Will is a part of that 'us'
"So, how was your life for the past 8 months?"
"Fine. Quinn was here to help me out with everything and I'm getting better with my OCD. I'm having therapy again."
"Oh! Back in Lima, it's really harsh! The glee club is falling to pieces and so is Mr Schue." Mercedes says not realizing she was hurting Emma's feelings.
"CAN YOU JUST COME RIGHT TO THE POINT AND TELL ME WHY YOU'RE HERE?! YOU'RE TELLING WILL AND I KNOW IT!" Emma says harshly. She stands up and leaves them. Which confuses Mercedes and leaves Quinn in distraught, she never saw Emma that mad since the first day they met in Virginia.
"Miss P, I-I didn't mean to." Mercedes says but she was too late. Emma had walked away into the confines of her bedroom.
"Oh no Quinn! What have I done?" Mercedes says. Quinn was still dumbfounded at what she saw. She could have swore Emma was cursing her for bringing Mercedes here.
"No, no, no its ok. It's normal, she always get like that when people around her talk about Will. She just isn't ready yet. She's still so mad. I don't know why. Wait here, I'll go talk to her."
"Oh God Quinn! Please do. I hope she isn't mad at me."
"I'm sure she'll understand."
"Thanks Quinn."
Quinn walks up to Emma's bedroom surprisingly it wasn't locked. She was sitting on the side of her bed weeping.
"Emmie? Are you okay?"
She sniffled. "Yeah."
"Are you mad at me?" Quinn asks.
"Of course not Quinnie! I could never get mad at you."
"Are you mad at Mercedes?"
"No."
"Why'd you run away again?"
"I don't know, I think that's what I do when I'm scared. Just like when I ran away from Will. When I run away I feel like I'm in a bubble in my own world. But sooner or later it pops and reality is harsh Quinn."
"I know that's why I'm here."
"Thank you. But I'm scared I don't know what to do. I don't want Will to know that's for sure."
"It's ok Emma, one step at a time, we will get there I promise."
"Thanks Quinn. Thank you for everything, if I didn't meet you 8 months ago. I would have been a wreck like will is."
"No Emma, you're so much stronger and better than him. Remember that. You do know that he was leaning on you when he had no one but you weren't leaning on anyone and look at you now. Look at him now."
"Quinn, don't say bad things about Will. That's not good." Emma says acting like a kid.
"Oh Emma! You sound like your SO in love with him."
Emma just giggled. "Let's go back to Mercedes. She might think I'm mad, I just needed to think a bit."
"Ok." Quinn says. Not bothering to go back to that topic, she knew Emma wasn't ready to express how much she loves Will. Because she does she really does. She just doesn't want to tell anyone.
Meanwhile back in Lima. Will was drinking in the confines of his apartment. He was watching videos of Emma and him on his tv. Apparently the videos on his laptop could be plugged in to the tv. He was highly drunk. Instead of laughing at their funny videos he felt tears. So many flowing down from his face. He wanted Emma back so badly. So he called her. But was sent to voice call again. After hearing Emma's beautiful voice. He left a message.
"Hey Em, I've been doing this for the past 8 months and your not here yet. Don't worry I'll wait a thousand more! Oh I'm watching our videos. You're so adorable Emma. Can't you come back so I can see how adorable you are. Can you please come back? I miss you sooooooooo much. And I know that you're the sexiest lady! Even if. I haven't seen you for a while. I love you." he says his voice a slur. Because of the alcohol.
