Disclaimer: Will isn't anything like what Quinn said! Will is so much more passionate and kind. I just had to put it cause Emma would be so weird if she ran away for a small reason...
Omniscient POV
Will was still hopeful, hopeful that Emma would come back to him. But months had passed and nothing had happened. Mercedes stayed in Virginia for another 3 weeks. In that period of time, she got to know Emma. She Was very close to Matthew as well. She went home t Lima. Most of the people were questioning her and where she had gone. She always lied and said that she visited her parents. But as time past, she saw how sad her former teacher was. While Miss P or as she called her Emma, was doing great. Playing with her baby, getting treatment for her OCD meeting up with Quinn, oh and she didn't have to work. She had a very wealthy family. And here was her other teacher crying himself to sleep everyday. Coming to work. Their lives were completely unlike.
But Will had a different plan today, he wanted to sing, and when he walked inside glee club, the first thing he said was.
"Guys, I'm singing for you." and he smiles like no one saw him smile for a long time.
The glee club members were all so happy as well. It was the first time their teacher finally tried to reach out to the club for the whole 20 months.
Will went to the piano and started to sing.
"How can I just let you walk away - just let you leave without a trace? When I stand here taking every breath with you You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me when all I can do is watch you leave? 'cause we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all So, take a look at me now - well, there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me - just the memory of your face Take a look at me now, well, there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face."
Will started to cry again and just like that he walked out of the room.
It's been almost 12 months since Emma gave birth. And in a week they would be celebrating Matthew's first birthday. Of course Quinn and Mercedes would be there, they would have a small get together with some of Matthew's playmates. But Quinn had to go to Lima for three days so Emma was left with her little crawling baby all around the house.
Emma always had so much fun bonding with Matthew, and sometimes she would sit down on the floor and just look at this wonderful child. Emma's OCD was healed, but she still couldn't stand it when her things are messy, but the germs aren't so bad for her now.
Matthew looked so much like Will and it was being more evident when Matthew grew up. Emma loved him so much, Matthew was perfect. He has Emma's big doe eyes and her lips, but Matthew also had almost all of Will's features that Emma loved. His curls, his nose, the way Matthew walked and things.
Quinn was in the mall in Lima with Mercedes, they were going to get Matthew a present. But they had no idea there was going to be a party, but they wanted to buy the little guy a present.
They were in the baby's corner when they saw their teacher walking down an aisle. They tried not to mind him but he came running to them.
"Hey Quinn, Mercedes." he says waving.
"Hi," Quinn Paused, Why was he here? "why are you here?" Quinn asks.
"Oh nothing, I just saw this aisle and wondered what could've been here. But why are you here?"
"Shopping!" Mercedes says, trying to cover up for us.
"In the baby's corner?"
"Umm we're buying a present for someone." Quinn answers.
"So where we're you? I didn't see you sincere the airport incident."
"Yeah, I wasn't in Lima."
"Where were you? Did you see Emma again? How is she? Did she say anything about me?"
"No! I haven't seen her." Quinn lied. She was with Emma for the past 20 months.
"Oh. By the way, can I borrow your phone Quinn?"
"Ok." Quinn answers fidgeting and giving her phone to Will.
He opened her phone and a message appeared. The contact was "Emmie!"
It read "Hey Quinnie! Joseph Matthew Pillsbury, my son, or as we call him Matt, is celebrating his 1st birthday tomorrow! Hope you could come back to Virginia by then. I would really miss you, oh and tell Mercedes too! I'd want the both of you to be here. It's going to be a small celebration at my house! Reply to me if you can come! Sincerely yours -Emma Jane Pillsbury"
The only thought that came to Will was Emma Jane Pillsbury had a son. And he didn't know with who, what if it wasn't with him? Oh no! But of it was with him, then why would Emma run away. Was it the Emma Pillsbury or some other friend of Quinn he had so many questions.
After Quinn saw Will staring, she immediately thought of the possibilities. And it was because of Emma. She grabbed her phone ad saw Emma had just texted her and Will Saw everything she said.
"Quinn! Mercedes! How could you lie to me! Is that Emma?!" Will says pointing to Quinn's phone.
"Yes." Quinn says, her voice was quivering. She knew it was about time Will would know, but she wasn't going to tell him easily. She made a promise to her best friend.
"I thought you said you only met her once! Why do you call her Emmie? Why does she call you Quinnie? Would you think I'd believe you if you said you only met once!?" Will was outraged. He hadn't expected this.
"I'm sorry. Okay, we met more than once. Truth is I was with her for the past 20 months."
"What?! And you didn't tell me?!"
"I made a promise to Em, she asked me to never tell you." Quinn said almost a whisper.
"I'm the only one who calls her Em!" Will shouts. He didn't mind really, it was just the thought of Quinn seeing Emma and him not being able to.
"I'm sorry." Quinn mutters. Mercedes holds Quinn closer to her.
"Tell me! Who is this son of hers? Huh?!"
"Joseph, Joseph Matthew." Quinn says, her eyes almost brimming to tears.
"Oh and she's now married to who?! Tell me who?!" Will was so mad, this isn't possible.
"No one." Quinn says.
"What?! Then whose the father of this Matthew?!"
"You."
"Me?"
"Yes! You Mr. Schue!"
"And how long did you know about this?!"
"Three days after she left you standing in the altar." Quinn says. Feeling sorry for Will not knowing about his son.
"What!? Oh God! What did I do so wrong?" He deserves an explanation.
"You want to know what you did so wrong Mr. Schue?"
"Ye-"
"Emma went to Virginia one month after she was pregnant. She tried to tell you everytime she had the chance but you would just say, let's talk later or kiss her and walk out to glee practice. She would try to talk to you but you wouldn't care because you were thinking of the glee club. She took care of New directions and planned your wedding alone! Alone while she was pregnant! Alone while you were in D.C. Alone! But when you lost sectionals, You became worst! You were coming home drunk! And barfed all the time. Didn't you remember Emma?! She has OCD but she took care of you. But she knew well, and she knew she couldn't raise a child when she's that depressed. You changed Mr. Schue, and I don't think that's what Emma needed. She needed you so much, so much when she was pregnant. But instead of her leaning on you, you were giving her burden. So she knew the only thing she could do was run away. From you, from everything." Quinn felt tears in her eyes. She loves her best friend so much, it saddens her that Emma had gone through this.
"I-I'm sorry. But I want to make it up. I want to do everything for Emma. I want to love her unconditionally. I want to hold her tight every day. I want to see our son." will continued to cry.
"I want you to be with her too. She secretly still loves you, you know. But I don't think she wants you now."
"Then help me. Please Quinn. Help me."
"I will." at that Will hugged Quinn and they wiped their tears away.
"I'm coming with you to Virginia."
"Okay."
Mercedes and Quinn were really worried. What would Emma think? Would she get mad? Someday, someday Will and Emma would be back together they thought as Will left them. Obviously to get a ticket and pack. They were leaving tomorrow.
Quinn knew that Emma wouldn't want Will to be in her life, but she wanted him to. She had only one way to get them back together and she knew that Mercedes and her cant do it alone. S she was going to call some people. She put the speaker on and put her phone on double line. Knowing that Rachel and Santana were together and of course Finn on the other. She put it on speaker so Mercedes could hear, they were currently grabbing some coffee in Starbucks.
"Quinn!" Santana shouted.
"Hey Quinn." Finn says.
"Oh I'm with Mercedes." Quinn says.
"Oh hey there Mercedes." they all said in unison.
"We found Miss Pillsbury. It's a very long story because we found her more than a year ago and etcetera but just listen for now."
"Oh my gosh! Quinn! Mercedes!" Santana says.
"Yeah why'd you not tell us?" Finn says.
"Long story, moving on!" Mercedes says.
"Ok." the three said in unison.
"Ok so Mr Schue finally found out and he's coming with us to Virginia tomorrow, and we know that Miss P won't take him back. So we were planning that the 5 of us help Mr Schue win Miss P's heart." Quinn says.
"Oh! I'm in!" Rachel shouts.
"Me too!" Finn says.
"No choice." Santana says, they all laugh. Soon the laughter fades away.
"So? Virginia tomorrow?"
"Yeah! I have no problem with that!" Finn says.
"Us too!" Rachel says in behalf of her and santana.
"Great!" Mercedes answers.
"SO the FIRAQUITANAES team is a go?"
"What is Firaqui-whut?" Santana says.
"FIRAQUITANAES, Finn, Rachel, Quinn, Santana and Mercedes." Quinn says coyly.
"Weird name but I'm so in!" Santana says.
"Yay!" Rachel shouts.
"We will see you tomorrow, but and Me and Mercedes would go first. We don't want Miss P overwhelmed."
"Ok." they answered in unison.
"See you tomorrow!" Rachel says hanging up.
"Yeah see you guys." Finn says hanging up as well.
"Mercedes, don't you think Emma would get mad at us for this?"
"I really don't know Quinn, but I hope she doesn't. I just want her to be happy with .They'd be a perfect family! Matthew looks so much like him."
"Yeah, I hope we're doing the right thing."
"Don't worry Quinn, we are. They are the perfect example of true love, and if we don't get them together destiny eventually will."
"Oh, someday they'll be together, someday they'll have the perfect family. I just want all the best for my bestest friend and only could give that to her."
"Yeah, I agree, so don't worry to much Quinn. Someday they'll finally be together and they'll thank us for this."
"Yeah Someday."
Will for once didn't send Emma a voice call. He didn't want Emma to know that he was coming, because if she did, she might just run away like she did before. And he couldn't afford that anymore.
Meanwhile, Emma was preparing the last few details on Matthew's party, her parents had volunteered to bring the cake tomorrow so she only had to handle the designs. And it was pretty hard because their living room was huge. And Emma's Parents insisted they have a bigger party than what Emma had in mind. Her parents really loved Matthew. Someday, Matthew will have a good father, someday I'll fall in love. Someday she thought. But she knew that Will was the only one that she could fall in love with, but she denied the fact once more.
