"As Emma went up the stairs all she wanted to do was cry. Seeing Will that way-mouth agape, eyes filled with anger, his head wrinkling- Emma knew what she did upset him. And she was sure Will wasn't only there for a short time. And it pained her to know that she once again broke Will's heart. So she cleaned her face up, and changed into more decent clothes. She ended up wearing a yellow flowing dress right above the knees.
And she had to wake Matthew up, it was a dinner for him and not for Emma and Will. So she went straight to Matthew's room.
"Matt, wake up baby." she says carrying her little son. Matt yawned and got up.
Matthew giggled a bit at the sight of his mother. It was one of Matt's favorite things to do. Giggle and Emma loves it when he does. She carried baby Matthew down to see Will staring in front of him. Still obviously in haze in what he saw occur moments ago.
"Will! Matthew's here!" he turns back and gets up.
"Wow, you look gorgeous Emma."
"Thank you." Emma says blushing.
"Can I?" he says gesturing to Matthew.
"Of course Will." Will grabs Matthew and rocks him effortlessly in his arms.
"You're such a cute little boy aren't you." Will says pinching Matt's nose.
"Come on Will, you could play with him after we eat dinner."
"Okay." Emma gets her son and puts him on the baby chair. Matthew laughed endlessly as Emma made funny faces in front of Matthew.
Will was still caught in his thoughts, for once he wanted to just leave Emma. He didn't want to remember what he saw. He wanted to erase it from his mind but it wasn't possible. And he wanted to stay for Matthew, he wanted to talk to Emma.
They all ate together, at first glance they would look like a happy family. Giggling at Matt's behavior every so often. But deep inside Will wasn't at all happy. Why can't they be a happy family. He's here, he found her, but he never thought she would have another boy in her life.
After they finished eating, Emma lead all of them including Matthew to the living room.
"So what do you like to do huh baby Matty?" Matt just smiled.
"He likes listening to people sing and play the guitar." Emma answered for her none talking son.
"Oh I see! Do you have a guitar Emma?"
"Yeah, I learned to play for him."
"Ok great!" Emma went upstairs to get her guitar while Will was playing with the crawling little boy. Emma was going down with her guitar when she saw how well Will handles Matthew. He heart ached when she saw her son and Will bonding. It felt so right. She went down and handed the guitar to Will. He thought of a good song and he finally found one, a mellow song for Matthew and the message for Emma.
"I'm gonna love you, when our time is right Be thinking of you, every day and every night To think you're somewhere in this world and someday I will make you my wife So every day we're not together I hope you know that you'll be alright Cuz I... I'm gonna make you feel, like you're the only girl in the world Like you're the only one that I'll ever loveLike you're the only one who knows my heart Like you're the only one that's in command Cuz you're the only one who understands How to make me feel like a man And when you're lonely, I'll keep you company Like this world was only made for you and me And when it doesn't feel right with another, I hope you believe That in a world with no light, I will be all that you need...to see I'm gonna make you feel, like you're the only girl in the world Like you're the only one that I'll ever love Like you're the only one who knows my heart Like you're the only one that's in command Cuz you're the only one who understands How to make me feel like a man"
At this point Matthew was clapping wildly. Whilst Emma was crying. She had excused herself to go to the bathroom. Knowing that the message of the song was for her. But she can't just stop what she has with James. He hasn't done anything wrong. But Emma is so in love with this man she's left second guessing. She wipes her mascara away knowing that it was already messed up on her cheeks. She didn't want to be too long so she did her best to stop the tears and went outside again to see Matthew sleeping in Will's arms.
"I guess he got tired from all the clapping."
"Yeah, can I bring him up to his room?" Will whispers.
"It's over there." she points to the room beside hers. "I'll make coffee so we can hang out a bit."
"Okay."
With that Will goes and brings Matthew up to his bedroom. Emma did a good job decorating the room there was a picture of her and Matt. Paintings,photographs of different memories they had. He only wished he was a part of those. After seeing his son sleep peacefully he dashed his way out of the room, hoping Emma and him could have a good talk.
Emma was sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee in her hands and another one on the table for Will.
"So is he sleeping?"
"Yeah, he's wonderful Em."
"I know."
"Emma, we need to talk."
"We are talking silly!"
"I mean seriously talk."
"Ok. What do you want to talk about?"
"Us."
"Us?"
"Yes, Us. What's happening Emma? I don't get it. First you kiss me after I declare my love for you the day I found you here, then we met up and you tell me you're dating someone. But you said you love me, and forgive me? Then I see you hotly making out with your new profound boyfriend?"
"Will, I-I don't know. It's just James is such a great guy. Whenever Quinn wasn't round he was always there to help me raise Matthew. And he and I started dating a few weeks before you came and I thought it was time I give back to him. And loving him and being loved by him was the only way."
"Do you really love him Emma?"
"Uh - Ye- Yes."
"But do you love me?"
"Y-yes."
"Emma, please tell me the truth."
"I am telling you the truth."
"Can you at least choose one of us. Because I don't want to live my life waiting anymore. I did for the past 20 months. And I just want to know if we will ever have something more than friendship. Because if not then you just have to tell me so I can move on. I'll just visit Matthew but nothing between us. Nothing."
"There will be an us Will. It's just not the right time."
"But when Emma? I've already missed 20 months of loving you of caring for you and Matthew!"
"I know Will. And I love you I love you so much. I want to be with you and have a family with you. God Will! I don't plan to spend the rest of my life without you."
"Then, come back to me. We can start all over. Leave James. Please Emma."
"I will."
"You will what?"
"Come back to you, leave James, start all over again."
"Really?"
"Yes Will really!"she wanted to stick to her words and she was doing it at lunch tomorrow.
"I love you so much Emma. So so much."
"I do too William Schuester!" and Emma leans in to kiss Will. It was more passionate than the first time they did when Will found her. Because now they kissed with feelings. Love, pure love.
The next day came and Emma knew it was time to tell James. They were at Emma's house after having lunch. She scheduled it right away she didn't want James to fall for her even more. He would just be chasing pavements.
It was after lunch when Emma decided she had to tell James.
"Ja-James, I-I don't think we-we could wo-work out."
"What do you mean Babe?"
"Us. You know, be a thing."
"What why?! Is it because of that Will guy?! Was IT HIM?"
"Ye-yes."
"What the Hell Emma?! Did you kiss him?! Is he so much better than me."
"I'm so-sorry James."
"Oh I KNOW NOW! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR SON ISNT IT?! WILLS THE REAL FATHER ISNT HE?"
"Ye-yes."
"GOD EMMA! PLEASE CAN'T YOU THINK? CAN'T YOU SEE HOW BROKEN YOU WERE. OR ARE YOU JUST THAT BLIND IN LOVE TO GIVE HIM A SECOND CHANCE?"
"I'm not! Will changed. He changed a lot James! So don't you dare tell bad things about someone you barely know!" Emma says her voice cracking as she cried while shouting to James.
"Emma, I love you so much, you know that right? I've been loving you ever since and I never tried to hurt you in anyway. And your coming back to this guy who broke you into a million pieces."
Emma opened her mouth to say something but before she could say anything there was James kissing her forcefully. Will had saw Emma and James kissing. But he was unfortunate to only see that part. Emma pulled away almost as soon as her senses came back. She was so mad at James. When Emma slapped James, Will was no where to be seen. Emma didn't know Will even saw what had happened.
"Get out of my house JAMES!" Emma said and James walked furiously outside. And Will, he ran and ran and ran, feeling tears coming in his eyes.
Will was so mad at Emma, why did she do that? She promised she would break up with James. But she lied. She's just playing games with you Will. Don't believe her, she's just taking her revenge. Will thought.
