So I have decided to start my own set of one shots. I have had a few requests for different one shots so I decided to turn this into, well that! lol! I have two requests already so if you have something you would like to see please feel free to let me know!
**When you are making a request for a sequel, please include the chapter number and the name of the chapter**
***Also, I haven' decided if I will limited the number of sequels I will do but it may result in me moving it into a multi-chapter fic***
Bodyguard
This is one of my own one shots
"You're what?" Emma blurted out
"You heard me Emma, we're assigning you a bodyguard" Snow said materafactly.
"I'm 30 years old! You can't do that!"
"We can and we are. Emma you keep putting yourself in harm's way and we cannot allow you to continue to do that. So until you can prove that we can trust you to not take risks we are going to force you to do so" Charming said in his dad voice
"Mom, Dad, I am practically never alone, I normally always have Killian with me or I'm with you dad at the station. This is COMPLETELY unnecessary!"
"Emma our mind is made up. Lancelot will be here in the morning to start his duties. Like we said, once you prove you can be trusted we will allow you to be on your own." Snow said going back to folding laundry.
Emma turned around and stomped up to her room. She couldn't believe that her parents thought that she needed a bodyguard of all things. If she decided to put her life in danger that was her prerogative as the savior and as an adult woman who could make her own decisions. She decided that she would play along with her parents little stunt but she was going to show them that she could outsmart any bodyguard that they assigned to her to prove that she could look out for herself.
The next morning they were all in the kitchen finishing breakfast when they heard the knock on the door. Charming immediately made his way to the door to greet Lancelot.
"Hello Old Friend! Thank you so much for helping us out with this"
"It's my pleasure to assist the royal family"
"Now I need to make you aware of a few things" At this point Charming pulled Lancelot aside into the living room thwarting Emma's plans to hear what her father was saying. She just hoped that he hadn't caught on to her thought process.
"Alright so Lancelot Emma has a tendency of...well let's just say that she likes to do things her way and she will go to any lengths to do so"
"So basically I should be looking for her to be trying to give me the slip is that what you're saying?" Lancelot said smiling at his old friends desperation over his daughter
"Yea...exactly" Charming said rubbing the back of his neck "I love my daughter and I love that she takes after Snow and myself with wanting to be a hero but I wish she hadn't inherited our..."
"Lack of self-preservation"
"Okay now" Charming said fake offended "But yes, she did inherit that from us and we can't loose her again"
"She will be perfectly safe with me, I promise"
"thank you Lancelot" Charming said placing a hand on his shoulder "Now we better get back to here before she gets too suspicious"
"you ready to go princess?" David said getting an eye roll from Emma which he was expecting
"Yea yea" she said grabbing her jacket as Charming put an arm around her. This was going to be a long day.
As day's went this one was pretty quiet. She and her dad went along doing the same old same old same old with paperwork and a few calls here and there followed by their regular walk around town. She was really hoping that her father would see how pointless having Lancelot around was and realize that he already had the job covered.
However, at the last minute a call came in that there was a disturbance at the rabbit hole and Charming told Emma that he would handle it and she could go ahead and wrap up her last half hour doing paperwork and that he would see her at home. This left just Emma and Lancelot at the station. It didn't go unnoticed by Emma that suddenly Lancelot was much more aware of his surroundings and Emma's location once David stepped out of the building. She was going to have to be very crafty to make this work.
"Hey Lancelot, I have to use the restroom, I'll be right back" Emma said setting her pen to the side and pushing her chair back.
"Okay Princess, I'll be waiting for you" Lancelot replied walking so he could keep an eye on the little hallway that led to the bathroom and watch the station. Emma knew something that Lancelot did not however, there was a window that was just big enough for Emma to crawl out of. She had noticed that Lancelot had never bothered to walk around the building or check for other exit's so she knew she was going to be able to slip out without being seen. She may have done this once or twice or helped Killian to slip though the window whens he didn't want David to know he had come to see her a few times while David was out.
Once she easily slipped out and landed no the ground below she started to make her way to the docs where she had texted Killian to meet her.
After five minutes Lancelot began to knock on the door. "Princess?...Princess Emma?...Emma are you in there?" He finally decided to go in and look to see where she was and found the small restroom empty and the window open. He easily put two and two together and was on his way out to track her while calling David to let him know what was going on
"So you weren't kidding when you said that your daughter likes to give people the slip where you?"
"Oh no, what did she do?" David said a bit exasperated
"She said she had to go to the bathroom and then..."
"She slipped out the window" David interrupted "I'm such an idiot! I knew she would do that! I bet I know where she is. I'll come pick you up at the station and we'll go find her"
"I'll be here" Lancelot said. He felt bad that he had already let Emma get away from him, but he also knew that Charming had warned him that this would happen. They would have to figure out a way to keep this event from repeating it's self.
Emma walked up to the doc to see Killian just coming off of the Jolly Roger. "Hello Love"
"Hello Yourself" She said coming up and kissing him
"Well that's a very unexpected welcome. Where is your shadow?" He said looking around for what he heard was going to be Emma's bodyguard.
"I shook him off. I didn't need him being with me while I spent some much needed time with my boyfriend" She said kissing him again. Hook knew that this was very unlike Emma and that she was doing this because she was trying to prove a point to her parents.
"Now Emma..." Killian said pulling back from her kissing
"What? You don't want to kiss me?" Emma said a bit offended
"I know what's going on here" Killian said holding her at arms length
"And what is that?"
"You're trying to prove a point to your parents and frankly I want no part in that. You know as well as I that your parents are only doing what they feel is necessary to keep you safe, and I for one would like to have you all in once piece as well"
"Gosh, didn't know that I was such a drag" Emma said pulling away from him.
"Emma you know that's not what I meant"
"No, I totally understand, I'll talk to you late" Emma said walking way. As she approached the end of the doc she saw the cruiser pull up and stop infant of her as her father and Lancelot stepped out.
"Car, Now" David said coming over and gently taking ahold of Emma's arm and placing her in the back of the cruiser. This day could not go any worse for Emma at this point.
Once they arrived at the house Charming came around and let Emma out of the cruiser and placed a gentle hand on her back to guide her into the loft followed by Lancelot. Once they were in the door he simply told her "Sit" and they all headed toward the living room.
"Emma this is the type of antics that caused your mother and I to ask Lancelot to look over you. I love you Em and I couldn't live if the Evil Queen or George got their hands on you. I know you spend a lot of time with myself or Hook but when you are alone you put yourself in situations that could cause you harm and I can't let you do that anymore."
"Dad..."
"No Emma...where did you sneak off to anyway?"
"I just wanted some alone time with Hook but he didn't want to see me so" Emma said not looking at her dad
Charming looked concerned "What do you mean Em?"
"I mean that he was mad at me for giving Lancelot the skip. No offense by the way but you didn't even take a look around the building. I was a bail bonds person and I always know every available exit before I enter a building" She said a little surprised that she was able to sneak out that easily.
"Well I have definitely learned my lesson princess and will be giving you a run for your money from now on" Lancelot said with a slight smirk. She had a point that he would be looking at he surrounds much more closely now that he knew whom he was up against.
"Now Emma, I need you to promise me that you won't be trying to pull these types of stunts any more and you'll let Lancelot do his job without giving him gray hairs okay?" Charming said placing a hand on Emma's knee.
Emma sat there for a moment. Maybe she could ride this out for al title bit just to make her parents happy and then they will take it away. "Fine! But as soon as I prove to you that this is completely unnecessary than you call off your watch dog...again, no offense, I'm sure you're a nice guy" Emma said looking at Lancelot
"None taken Princess"
"Thank you honey! Now, Lancelot is going to hang with you and your brother while I take your mom on a date!"
"At least you're going out and I don't have to witness your gross PDA. In the mean time, I owe Hook a call" Emma said feeling bad for how their interaction had gone earlier that day.
"Good" He said kissing the top of her head on his way through to his and Snow's room.
"Now Princess this time I can tell you that I have checked all the exits and until I can trust you you must leave your bedroom door open is that understood?" Lancelot said standing up and looking down at Emma. She rolled her eyes but grunted to what Lancelot figured was an agreement. He knew that this would be is most difficult assignment yet, but he would do al the could to ensure his friends daughter was safe.
