Hey guys! Very excited about this one! Also, I wanted to adress something someone commented! It said Henry should be included more in this story, since he is a very important part of Emma's life and I completely agree! I haven't even noticed that Henry has been absent for a while now, but I promise, he is going to appear a lot more, starting next chapter! This one is all about Emma and Chase again with loads of relationship development, I love writing chapters like this so much! Also, someone has been very correct about an old friend making an appearance!

At this point, I just wanted to thank everyone who is reading this story, it's already been a huge journey for me, in under two weeks, I have written almost 20,000 words, which really is a lot for me, and you are an important part of my motivation! I already have my next story planned out, it will be a regular OUAT story, with Captain Swan pairing, because I DO love these two, I just felt like I needed to give this crossover a chance, since it is something I would certainly LOVE to read! I am also thinking about finally continuing my old NCIS fics, even though it has been a very long time since I started those.

Anyway, do you think you can get this chapter to 5 reviews? You would make my day! And PLEASE DO TELL me what you want to see happen next!

Disclaimer: I don't own OUAT or House!


Chapter 8

It was Saturday afternoon and so far, the evening was going great. Emma had dressed up in a pretty, strapless dress that gathered around her waist with a black band and finished with a flowy skirt that ended just above her knees. She had paired the dress with simple black heels.

Chase wore a casual suit with a dark blue tie and white dress shirt. He couldn't stop admiring Emma though, she looked absolutely stunning.

Remy had sent Chase a link to the website of the restaurant and he had looked at some photos before deciding the place was absolutely perfect, so he called and made their reservation.

Chase had picked Emma up at six that night and they arrived at the small Italian restaurant in the suburbs of Boston around seven. They had chatted throughout the whole journey, time flying by. It amazed Emma how easy being with him had become, even though it had only been a bit over two weeks since their reunion, yet, they were as comfortable as ever around each other.

She told him stories about Henry, her parents and he listened carefully, taking in every single detail about her life in the past year. In return, he talked about work, some of their old friends and his sister, who she learned had complained about his infrequent visits to his home country of Australia.

When they entered the restaurant, they were immediately greeted by a friendly waiter taking their names and leading them to a table in the back of the room, lighting a candle and handing them their menus.

Emma eventually ordered a veggy pasta while Chase went for spaghetti carbonara. The food was everything Remy had promised and they both enjoyed every single bite of it. When they had finally finished their food, Chase tried to talk Emma into getting desert but she insisted she was too full to eat any more. Eventually Emma agreed on sharing a portion of panna cotta with him, after Chase had put on his most seductive smile for her.

She ended up not regretting agreeing to desert, the panna cotta had possible been even better than the rest of the food.

Chase had just paid the bill and they got ready to leave when familiar, sandy haired man entered the restaurant with a blond woman. Emma and Robert where far to wrapped up in looking at each other while getting ready to leave but the man almost instantly spotted Chase with his date, at first not able to see her the blond woman's face but thinking her hair looked suspiciously like Cameron's.

Wordlessly, Wilson grabbed Sam's hand and led her over to the table in the back, where Chase was just putting on his jacket after playfully helping Emma into her own coat.

"Robert." He greeted, smiling at the younger doctor. "…and… Allison! What a surprise to see you here!"

Emma gasped for a moment. She absolutely didn't expect Wilson to just show up at the restaurant but her face lit up after a moment of shock, happy to see him.

Chase shot Emma a quick look, unsure about her reaction but when he saw her smiling, he looked back at Wilson. Before he could say anything though, Emma had pulled Wilson into a hug and said: "James, it so good to see you! How have you been? Who's your date?"

Chase smiled at Wilson, too, greeting him after Allison and Wilson broke apart.

"Allison, Robert, this is Sam, my…girlfriend." He said with a moment of hesitation, not sure about mentioning the fact she was also his ex-wife, deciding against it despite the fact Chase and Cameron seemed to be in a similar situation right now.

"Sam, these are Allison Cameron and Robert Chase. They both used to work on House's team" Wilson introduced.

"It's nice to meet you, Sam." Emma said politely, not bothering to correct Wilson, not in the mood to fill them in on the name situation.

"I see you two are back together?" Wilson half asked, half stated, shooting a short glance on Emma and Chase's linked hands.

"Umm, yeah, we are." Emma confirmed, not giving Chase a moment to say anything but causing a big smile to spread on his face.

"Anyway, we don't want to keep you from your meal any longer. I'm sure we'll find some other time to catch up. But James…please don't tell anyone about seeing us, alright?" Emma said, not wanting to tell the story of their reunion right now, knowing it would probably take the entire evening and not wanting the news to spread around the entire hospital, even though neither of them worked there any more, obviously. It was just nobody's business.

"Of course, your secret is safe with me. Have a good night." Wilson said.

"Thank you." Emma smiled thankfully, giving Wilson another quick hug before they passed Wilson and Sam, heading for Chase's car.

"Well, this was awkward." Chase said, once they were in the car.

"Yeah, kind of, but it was kind of nice seeing him. He has always been a good friend." Allison reassured him. Of all the people from PPTH, Wilson was definitely the one she trusted the most.

"So, we are back together, huh?" Chase asked anxiously, replaying the word's she had just said to Wilson in his head,

"Well yeah, what else would you call it?" Emma stated. She knew they hadn't talked about what their relationship was just yet, but for her, telling Wilson they were back together felt like the right thing to do. She knew, Chase wanted to be with her, he was just scared to push her away again by rushing things, so it ultimately felt like her decision to confirm their relationship status.

"I don't know…it's just... in the past, you have always been…hesitant about a relationship. I just thought… you weren't ready to but labels on it, yet." He stuttered.

"It is different this time, Robert. I have grown up, I'm not just looking for a sex friend anymore. What we've been doing these past weeks…spending time together…it felt good and I want things to work out this time, there is no point in denying what's going to happen anyway. Just because we are in a relationship, doesn't mean we have to rush anything. Saying we are just friends until we end up in bed together, which we both know is going to happen sooner or later anyways, would be lying to ourselves and everyone we care about, because we both know this is far more than friendship." Emma explained softly.

"Well then, girlfriend, would you like to come back to my apartment with me and watch some episodes of glee?" Chase asked, not able to whip the large, happy grin off his face.

"I would love to." Emma smiled happily, placing a soft kiss on Robert's cheek across the car.


They lay cuddled up on Chase's couch, occasionally exchanging a kiss, holding hands the entire time and laughing together at the hilarious moments of the show. Their previously still cautious attitude towards each other, both afraid of overstepping a line, has been dropped, as they both felt like officially confirming their relationship to someone for the first time had shifted their behavior towards each other, putting them in full-on couple mode, not afraid about displaying their affection to one another.

Like last time they did a glee marathon, Emma drifted off to sleep eventually, with Chase once again carrying her across the apartment to his bed. This time, though, she stirred when he put her down on the bed, sleepily reaching for his hand and whispering: "Don't leave."

"I'll be right back, I promise." Chase said, blowing a soft kiss to her forehead before going to the bathroom to change into his pajamas.

Meanwhile, Emma took off her dress, figuring it was not very comfortable to sleep in and settled back under the covers in her underwear.

When Chase came back, he wordlessly slipped under the covers and Emma immediately crept up closer to his warmth.

"Hold me?" she whispered and Robert did as she ordered, frowning for a moment when his hands came in touch with the naked skin of her stomach, slightly realizing she had taken off her dress.

Despite the short moment of shock, he pulled her in closer, kissing her softly. She responded instantly, moving his lips against his, sleepiness forgotten, wrapping her arms around him, pulling herself closer to him and slipping her tongue into his mouth.

She made it very hard for Robert to control his emotions, feeling incredibly turned on by the beautiful woman in his bed, kissing him while only wearing her underwear.

The kiss grew more and more heated, until Emma was practically lying on top of him, burying her hands in his hair, while trailing kisses down his jawline and neck.

They were battling for dominance, with Chase eventually flipping them over, which resulted in Emma letting out a small surprised squeal before slipping her hands under his shirt, tracing the lines of his abs with her hands. She grabbed the hem of his shirt again, lips never leaving his, and moved to pull it over his head, which he willingly assisted with.

When her hands moved down to his boxers, though, he stopped kissing her for a moment.

"Are you sure?" he gasped breathlessly.

"Yes, I'm sure." She deeply looked him in the eye before capturing his lips again, resuming her previous actions, pulling down his boxers while his arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her even closer, if that was possible.


Emma woke up the next morning with strong arms wrapped around her waist, holding her possessively. She smiled happily, remembering last night's events while carefully turning around in his arms, cautious not to wake him.

Her best efforts weren't successful though, a few moments after she turned over he stirred, slowly opening his eyes, smiling when he saw her looking at him with his arms still wrapped around her waist.

"Good morning beautiful." He whispered, pulling her in for a kiss, still sleepy from the lack of sleep he had been getting due to last night's actions. They had been wrapped up in each other until the early morning hours, teasing and pleasuring one another in every way imaginable.

"Good morning handsome." She responded in between little kisses, eventually settling her head on his shoulder, looking up at him.

"Last night was…" she started, looking for the right word.

"Magical." He completed her sentence, softly and lovingly smiling at her.

"It was." She agreed, snuggling closer to him. "I missed you, you know?" she asked.

"I missed YOU! I regretted not coming with you every day for the past year." He confessed. "If I hadn't been so stupid, we would still be married."

"The past year has been hard." She agreed. "But we are together now, that's all that counts." She added, softly kissing him.

"But I broke your trust. I lied to you and chose House over you." Chase disagreed, still hating himself for his previous actions.

"And you have suffered enough for that." Emma added, not wanting him to feel bad. "Besides, if I hadn't left, I would have never met my parents and my son."

"But it would have spared us a lot of heartbreak."

"It's okay, Robert, you don't have to blame yourself for everything. I have my family now and I got you back, I couldn't be happier and everyone makes mistakes, it's human. The important thing is that we moved past it." She said, capturing his lips with another kiss, trying to make him feel better, knowing there was no point in moping about past mistakes forever. When their lips broke apart, she softly rested her head on his chest, hugging his waist.

"Thank you, Ally." He whispered, tucking her head under his chin. "For forgiving me." He added, pulling her as close to him as humanly possible, just enjoying being able to hold her for a moment.
