A/N: I know you all are probably about to kill me for taking so long to update. I am really bad at updating! My brain works a mile a minute and I get distracted easily….to the point where another story may occupy my mind and I just forget about the story I was working on. It happens a lot and luckily there are a few peeps who have been bugging me to finish. So this chapter update is dedicated to… well-thats-much-better. Thank you for the reminder to update soon. If you all haven't read the story 'Eleven Months' then you should definitely read it. I am hooked on that story….as well as several others. Lol. Ok with that said I hope you all enjoy this chapter while I go and start on chapter 5. Your reviews give me the inspiration needed to continue this story.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own OUAT or anything really. DON'T SUE ME! I AM A BROKE BITCH WHO WRITES STORIES FOR MY SANITY! Lol. Sad but true….

Chapter4:

Saturday 8pm

Killian let out a frustrated sigh for the umpteenth time. He was having a hard time concentrating on the lesson planning…his thoughts kept drifting to Emma. It didn't help that they were covering Romeo and Juliet in his class this coming week. A subject he would, for once, love to skip. Robin could only look at his friend with sympathy, "I know this is going to be a sore subject to cover…How about we team up on it. Both of your classes meet at the same time as mine…we can have them break into groups and have them do something fun. Assign each group to a scene in the play; they will have to rewrite the play in present times…"

"No…that won't work. They will only copy off of the DiCaprio movie of Romeo and Juliet. Have them act out the scene and write an explanation, if they were writing that scene what would they have done differently and why? How would they reach future generations?" Killian said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Brilliant! How long should we give them…a week…two?" Robin said writing everything down, "This could knock out one of the big projects we have to do this semester, which will make less work for us when the end of the semester comes."

"I want to get this topic over as soon as possible…I want to be done this in a week and a half. The sooner we get Romeo and Juliet finished the better." Killian stated coldly, "We are roughly at the half way point in the semester, they are due for a project, and if we timed it right then this can count as their midterm exam. Can we sort through the details tomorrow? I am having a hard time focusing tonight."

"We are just about done. I can type up what we have, send me a copy of your students names and which class they are in and I will work out the groups. All you have to do now is to send your students an email for them to meet in the theater room for class Monday. As soon as you do that, we can have the treat Regina made." Robin said as he walked into the kitchen for another beer. When he returned, Killian had just sent the final email and was cleaning up his things. Robin walked over setting a small plate with four apple muffins on the coffee table in front of Killian and said, "Regina was making them for Emma's party and figured you could use a special treat…she made these just how you like them, with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top."

"The evil queen really does have a heart…" Killian chuckled shoving a whole muffin in his mouth mumbling, "mmmmmm…she really doesn't realize how bad I needed a pick me up, so good!"

"Easy mate, there is no need to inhale them." Robin said as Killian shoved another muffin in his mouth.

"Sorry, didn't realize how hungry I am…I haven't really had an appetite for anything lately." Killian said picking at his third muffin.

"You're that much in love with Emma? You're an idiot! You have only been without her for a week and you're a basket case. It's your fault for not fighting for her!" Robin sighed shaking his head in disappointment.

"I know…I tried to go and talk to her Thursday and only managed to get myself thrown out. I can only hope to give her some space and pray she will talk to me after she has had her space." Killian sighed finishing his last muffin. His eyes were beginning to feel heavy, and he lost focus on what Robin was saying within a few short moments he was sound asleep on the couch.

Robin poked Killian in the shoulder making sure he was fully asleep before texting David, letting him know, they were in the all clear. By 10.30, Both David and Mary Margaret were walking into the Apartment, arms full of bags. David set the grocery bags on the counter, and Emma's duffle bag by the bedroom doorway. Mary Margaret set to work putting away all of the groceries, still unhappy about locking their friends in the apartment.

David and Robin took their time removing the door handle and dead bolt from the front door. It didn't take long to install the new locks and handle so that the key holes were on the inside of the apartment. David also installed two more heavy duty dead bolt locks in case Killian tried to kick the door down. When they made sure everything worked properly it was almost time for Mary Margaret to head to the party. She left a small list of things to do, that Regina and Ruby made, and she reminded them to keep an eye on their phones. They will be needing help carrying Emma up. Mary Margaret punched them both in the shoulder stating, "That's for going along with this idiotic plan."

"Owwww….that was one hell of a punch." Robin said rubbing his shoulder watching Mary Margaret leave, "What did she leave us to do?"

"Don't take it personally…mother hen is just worried about her chicks. It's best not to anger her any further…you know she actually hit me with a rock once…be thankful all you got was a punch in the shoulder with her hand." David smirked letting out a sigh before saying more seriously, "I just hope this works...Emma is fragile under that tough exterior. I think Mary Margaret feels the need to protect her, which is why she is so against this plan. I don't want to cause Emma anymore pain than what she already has suffered…but this is the only way to get through to her and Killian."

"I feel the same way in concerns for Killian. They clearly love each other, but are too stubborn to see it. This is for their own good….besides they are only going to be locked in for a week. If they don't kiss and make up then…then it is out of our hands. At least we can't say we didn't try." Robin said agreeing with David. Both men were always there for their friends and would do anything for those they cared about. They have a heart of gold. David shook away his doubts from his mind taking a look at the list.

Emma sighed for the umpteenth time tonight. She kept wondering from if she was making the right decision…to trying to figure out what Ruby was up to. Her mind just kept bouncing from one problem to the other without finding a solution. It was rather frustrating, and having to stay alert enough to fill up her customers glasses. 'Only an hour to go before the party…after tonight I will be leaving here for good…not looking back. It hurts thinking about leaving….but I have to…Killian will move on and that is going to crush what's left of my heart. This was the right decision…right? Or was this just another excuse to run away…' Emma thought to herself letting out a frustrated sigh. Killian had set a fire inside of her, which both terrified and excite her. Why is she running from him? Emma sighed again knowing that guys like Killian don't stick around damage goods, and she considered herself damage goods.

"Slow night?" Mary Margaret said sliding onto the bar stool in front of Emma, pulling Emma from her thoughts.

"Yeah it has been for the past hour or two. You're here early…what's up?" Emma inquired setting a beer in front of Mary Margaret.

"I came here to talk to you before the girls get here. In the short time I've known you; I've come to care for you like family. I don't like the idea that you are running from not only Killian, but you are running from us as well. Telling you to make better choices is like telling the rain not to fall. I've been where you are…mind you; I don't know entirely what you have been through but I have gone through something similar when it comes to this more recent situation. No one knows this, which is why I am here early. David had a fiancée when I met him. Something in us sparked, but I swore nothing would come of it. He seemed happy prior to my intrusion and everyone in my life seems to disappear. I lost my mother when I was a little girl and then my father a few years later. I never thought that I would be able to have a happily ever after…everyone eventually leaves, right? I almost lost my chance when David was about to give up on me, because I kept pushing him away despite what my heart was saying. His fiancée, Katherine, didn't really love him, and was cheating on him. I caught them in here while I was drowning in self-pity. The moment I saw them together, I realized that if she wasn't going to love him…then he should be with someone who loves him. I took a chance that night and went back to David. We both are happy and Katherine had even found her own happiness…she is married with a child on the way." Mary Margaret said reaching across the bar taking Emma's hand, "I see the same thing happening between you and Killian. Milah doesn't really love him…she likes the idea of her and him. If he would have gotten back with her, he would have been miserable and would get hurt again. Don't walk away from a good thing because you are scared and stubborn. I almost did and almost lost the best thing in my life. We are more alike than you think Emma…if you stop running away then maybe you can see how much alike we are and work through your insecurities. I won't nag you any further if you promise to sit down and have a full conversation with Killian and try to work through this issue."

"I appreciate you sharing something that personal with me Mary Margaret…I just don't think I will ever have that. Everyone I have ever been with all left me. They worked on breaking down my walls only to blast my heart to pieces. Your parents were taken away from you at a young age and I am sorry for that…my parents left me on the side of the road instead of taking me to a church or hospital. I was passed around the foster system as if I was a bad penny they couldn't get rid of. No one wanted me. Every foster family I went to eventually sent me back because they decided to have a child of their own. By the time I was a teenager everyone was looking for a little girl and not someone who was almost fully grown. You can't possibly understand what I have been through, how damaged I really am." Emma said with a hint of disdain. She hated when people said they knew what she went through. No one has been through what she has. No one could possibly have gone through that much heart ache. Mary Margaret understood very little, but Emma knew that her heart was in the right place.

"Ladies and Gents….Last Call! You have 5 minutes to finish your drink we are closing for a private event!" Ruby storms into the wolf pack with Regina in tow carrying several big bags to the bar. The three couples in the bar got up from downing their drink and went to the bar to close out their tabs. Each one was Emma's usual customers, wishing her luck on her new job and hope they see her around. Ruby locked the door when the last person left, screaming, "PARTY TIME!"

Regina took a small container from one of her bags and presented it to Emma, "I don't believe you ever tried my apple muffins with cinnamon sugar on them. I know how much you love the regular ones…I thought to try these for a special night. I think they are good, but Ruby and Mary Margaret aren't too fond of apples. Shame really…I can only force so much down Robin's throat. Let me know what you think?"

Regina looked a little shy and vulnerable when handing Emma the container. Emma gave her a reassuring smile taking the container, "I appreciate you going through all of the trouble. I am sure they are going to be delicious." Emma popped the top of the container picking up a muffin and taking a big bite. A smile graced her lips as she let out an embarrassing moan, "Regina, these are amazing!"

"Glad you like them." Regina said with a smile. Her eyes filled with mischief, which went unnoticed by Emma.

Ruby called for everyone's attention as she slipped behind the bar pouring shots toasting to one last Hurrah, before Emma left them for Granny's. Mary Margaret busied herself setting up the food that Ruby brought. It wasn't anything fancy, just some chips, cookies, brownies, pretzel bites, and Chex Mix. Regina sat conversing with Mary Margaret as Ruby was keeping everyone's glasses full, picking at the snacks when she wasn't filling drinks. Emma joined Ruby in picking at the snacks her seventh shot into the party. Nothing seemed to be satisfying Emma's appetite. She went back to the container Regina gave her and ate another muffin. Ruby saw her eat the muffin and decided to do another round of shots. She looked over at Regina, who was sipping her apple martini happily and yelled over filling up a third glass of Rum, "Regina, come do a shot of Rum with Emma and Me."

Regina wrinkled her nose in disgust clearly stating with disdain for the drink, "I don't do Rum."

"I'll do Regina's shot." Mary Margaret stood from her seat and walked over to Emma and Ruby taking the filled glass holding it up in a toast, "Emma I want to wish you well on your new job, and pray that you find peace and happiness as well. You are so loved here and hope that even though you will no longer be here at the wolf pack that you continue to stay close with us. Know that no matter what, we will always be here for you willing to do anything for you. Have fun working with Granny. She can be a handful. Cheers!"

Ruby eyed Mary Margaret fearing that she was trying to hint to Emma about their plan. She went right over to Regina whispering her concerns, as Emma downed her drink stumbling over to the far side of the bar where the container of muffins lies. She settled herself on the bar stool leaning on the bar eating her muffins happily. Mary Margaret drank the last bit of her beer and looked over to say something to Emma only to find Emma unconscious. "Emma!" Mary Margaret exclaimed rushing over to her friend. Emma's head was cradled on her arm, with her left arm stretched out across the bar with a half-eaten muffin lying next to her out stretched hand. "She's fine Mary Margaret. She is just sleeping." Ruby said walking over to her with Regina.

"She shouldn't have mixed alcohol with laced muffins. You could have killed her." Mary Margaret hissed standing protectively next to Emma like a lioness next to her cub.

"It worked like a charm. Actually better than expected…She wasn't supposed to fall asleep until after we got her in my car." Regina said, "Relax Mary Margaret. I was careful with how much sleeping powder I put in the muffins. The shots of rum just sped up the sleeping process. When Ms. Swan wakes up she will be with her prince charming. Instead of sneering at us, you should be on the phone getting David down here before Ms. Swan wakes."

Mary Margaret glared at Regina before calling David telling him what happened and that he needs to get there as soon as possible. Ruby and Regina busied themselves with the clean up until David walked in. He walked over to Emma gently cradling her in his arms like she was made of glass. Mary Margaret walked ahead of him opening the door so that they wouldn't bump into anything. It took them 10 minutes to drive to Killian's apartment. Robin jumped to his feet when Mary Margaret opened the apartment door holding it open for David. "Put her in the back on Killian's bed." Mary Margaret instructed since Killian was clearly being left passed out on the couch. Regina and Ruby came in behind David carrying a few large bags.

"I thought Mary Margaret already did the grocery shopping?" Robin inquired watching the girls head to the kitchen.

"Yeah, mother hen did do the grocery shopping…Regina and I did the fun shopping. We got a few bottles of Rum, strawberries, chocolate syrup, whip cream, and junk food." Ruby chimed in, "we need to give them everything they need for a romantic week."

"Don't tell me you picked up condoms too." Robin laughed.

"No…are you kidding. If Emma gets pregnant then she will be guaranteed to be with Killian and can't run away from him. It will make a great story to tell their kids." Ruby said as serious as she could possibly be.

"Relax Robin…Ruby is just excited to be playing matchmaker. Besides, Ms. Swan is on birth control…if Mary Margaret remembered to bring it." Regina said rolling her eyes at Ruby's over exaggeration. She turned her attention to Robin in a more serious manner, "Did you boys get everything done? All of his phones, computers, and anything he could use to contact someone cleared out?"

"Yes my dear. All of the technology except for the TV has been removed from the premises. As soon as we get Emma settled then we can go and lock the door behind us. They are going to kill us for this. But hopefully it will be worth it in the end." Robin said pulling Regina in his arms smiling down at her before kissing her lips.

Mary Margaret helped David tuck Emma into Killian's bed, placing a note on top of a brand new notebook and a pack of pens on Killian's night stand next to where Emma laid. David fished through Emma's purse to see if there was any medication that might need to be left; if not then they were taking it with them. Mary Margaret reached into Emma's pockets taking her keys and cell phone. Everyone did one final sweep of the apartment looking for anything that could possibly be used to call for help or whatever. When they were satisfied, they left locking the door like Fort Knox, silently hoping that their friends won't be too mad with them.

A/N: Ok Chapter 4 is finally finished! I hope I didn't screw this chapter up. 3 pages of my story was deleted by my computer so I hope that the whole last part was ok. I had more witty remarks, but I couldn't remember it all. Ughhh. You know the drill review my lovelies! Let me know if you like it or hate it. I just want a response.
