I wouldn't be just so sure that I've got the chronology right! Asking will have chapter and verse, I'm sure.
The chronology is fine except it starts a little too late in the mess. In 2003 Emma was going out with both Ed and Will because she couldn't make up her mind which she wanted, and lied to each about it. So for instance on 2nd May, 2003, she had sex with Ed, while continuing to see Will and lying that she was not seeing Ed. (Unfortunately there is a week's gap in the Lowfield synopses and that's one of the days in it, so it doesn't show up in searches.) Then when she was seen out on a date with Ed and someone told Will, she told Will it was none of his business who she spent time with, but then decided (under the influence of Brenda) to go for Will after all, and 8th May told Will that she loved him and they were definitely an item, and Ed that she didn't want to see him again. Will, taking her word about it, proposed to her on 7th August (her birthday),2003, and she accepted. Ed, taking her word about it, went straight to the bad and was caught housebreaking.
At the beginning of June 2004 Emma had a choice between living in a caravan with her family whilst Neil built them a new house, or moving in with Will, so she moved in with Will. On 4th July she went for a long drive with Ed in his new car, and on 8th July, after getting drunk at her hen night, she went over to Grange Farm where Ed was house-sitting for Oliver and Caroline, and had sex with Ed, staying there for the night. The following day she broke it to Ed that sex or no sex she was going to marry Will. Ed was understandably a little upset, and took Oliver up on an offer to give him a job on a farm Oliver part-owned in Hungary in spite of nobody who was not a Hungarian national being allowed by law to own land in Hungary at that time. Emma was mortified because on 1st August she begged Ed not to go and he told her to stuff it, with various home truths about her behaviour into the bargain, and went off to the airport.
Then she discovered on 9th that she was pregnant, and decided on 13th that since Ed had slung his hook and wasn't available any more, she would simply say the child was Will's even though she was sure it wasn't, and Will could have a cuckoo in his nest. They married on 27th August, 2004.
George was born on 7th April 2005, Ed having driven Emma to hospital because Will wasn't around. During the month that followed Emma encouraged Ed (who had come back with his girlfriend Beth and then been dumped by her in January 2005) to come round as much as possible, but not when Will was there. In May he started to give her driving lessons. That went on until Jill almost caught them and Emma decided it was too dangerous, and then Neil and Susan gave her a course of lessons for her 21st birthday anyway.
In September 2005 Emma discovered to her horror, from Kenton, that Ed was planning to go to Australia. In order to stop him from leaving her, she told Ed on 22nd September that she loved him and had always loved him, and that George was his baby. The following day, after he had had time to take it in, Ed declared his love for both her and the baby, and said they would have to get away from Ambridge together. Since George had no passport, Australia would be impossible for at least the time being, but they would think of somewhere. Then at Ed's birthday party on 28th September William found the couple together planning their departure the following day, and told Emma to go home; she refused until Ed told her that she should, and when Will followed her back to Casa Nueva she told him that George was not his son but Ed's, and that she was leaving him.
So their wedding lasted thirteen months, but Emma had got bored with it after about eight of them. And she started to be jealously possessive about Ed as soon as he turned up with Beth, on 7th November, 2004, and think that having married Will was a mistake. (Poor Will, his wife only really stayed loyal to him for three months.)
