"Batten down the hatches, boys! Trouble done just walked back into my life, disguised as my favorite girl" Granny, the place owner shouts through the music as soon as she spots Emma. Emma smiles at her.
"Honey, drive that pretty face over here and give me a hug! Oh!"
A woman walks to them, and as soon as Emma leaves Granny`s hug. She hugs her
"Oh my! Soon-to-be ex-daughter-in-law." The woman says pulling out and grabbing Emma`s shoulders to take a better look at her. Emma smiles apologetically and shows her the ring. It might be weird but she gets along pretty well with Killian`s mother, always have and always will. That makes Emma kind of sad, she doesn`t want to hurt her, but at the same time she knows, her soon to be ex mother in law understands. And knows she loves her and will support her, no matter what. She loves Emma like the daughter she never had.
The woman grabs Emma`s hand, showing it to Granny.
"Ooh, whoo! Who's the lucky guy?"
Emma smiles at the support "His name is Neal, Ariel, he's in politics."
Killian`s mother, Ariel, smiles sadly. How she wished Emma stays with her son. "Well, you got my vote." Says Granny
"Good to see you, baby girl". Ariel says and leaves. Emma looks at Granny and the old lady gives her a pointed look.
"Hey," Granny then calls, to Ruby, her grand-daughter and Emma`s once upon a time closest friend " you give this lady whatever she wants."
"Hey Ems" Ruby hands her a drink and Emma opens her mouth to talk but she`s suddenly interrupted by someone calling Ruby. "I'll catch up with you later". Ruby tells her turning around " All right." Emma says already alone.
Emma then walks around trying to look for somewhere to sit.
"Oh...my...God! Emma?!" Emma turns to her left.
"Aurora?"
"Yes! Oh, my God! L-Look at you, all fancy. You look like you just stepped out of a magazine." She says amazed.
"Oh, well, thank you. Um, look at you."
"You have a baby..." Aurora looks at the 5 months old baby she is caring."Hell, I got three more at home."
Emma just nods, speechless
"This one's still on the tit, so I can cart him anywhere."
"Right".
I almost bought that exact same top the other day. But Phillip would kill me if I spent money on a sweater `s a channel or something like that?"
Emma looks at her in disbelieve. How could she be so ignorant.
"Actually, it's mine.I design clothes now."
"Oh, mmm, now that you mention it, I'm - I'm pretty sure I heard that." Aurora chuckles.
"Ah lasses mind if I join you?" Ah, there`s Killian
"Actually, we do." Emma snaps at him. But surprises herself as she sees Tink beside Killian, an old friend of them.
"Oh you must be Killian`s hot date" Emma narrows her eyes. That traitor. Killian rolls his eyes.
Tink blinks rapidly. " Ah…no Emma. Actually his with…"
"I`m Milah" a woman says poof-ing beside Killian and warping her left arm around Killian. Emma gives an apologetic look to Tink and she nods.
"Hi, I'm Emma. Killian's "Yankee-bitch wife", whom he refuses to divorce, even though I'm engaged to another man." Emma smirks at throws her left hand in front of the girl, showing her the ring.
"Killian, look at the size of that thing." Killian growls, seeing the ring for the first time as well. But he recovers quickly and turns to smile sweetly at Milah.
"Honey?" " Huh?"
"Why don't you get us a couple drinks, all right?"
"Okay". Milah giggles tapping Killian`s ass.
"Is that a martini?" Milah asks Emma
"Not "me and her"" Killian points between him and Emma "us. "You and l" us".
Milah smirks and leaves
"Why do you make me be mean to you?" Emma asks crossing her arms in front of her.
"Is that what you want to be humiliated in front of all of your friends?"
"Oh, come on, Emma, we were your friends, too." Emma jumps hearing that voice.
"Well, looky, looky there!"
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the two groomsmen of the apocalypse." Emma turns around raising an eyebrow.
One of them looks at the other "Hey, Phill" " Yes August?"
"Are you hungry?!"
"Starved!"
Emma stands straighter, ready to run "No, no, no! No, don't you dare!" she points at them, with her finger in warning.
"I could use a Emmy sandwich!" Both men run towards her, before she could get a time to run. They hug her and lift her off the floor. "Killian" she shrieks.
"Just seems like old times, doesn't it?" August asks both, Phill and Emma.
"Get off me!" Emma says, struggling to get away. Killian laughing his ass of, clutching his stomach.
"Ugh!" she is finally free
"No, not like old times, all right? Times have changed. No more Emmy sandwich, no more Emma taco, and no more Emma corn dog, all right? " She warns them seriously.
"Sure...sorry" says August raising his hands.
" Just playin' with you. Ems" says Phillip. Killian feeling the heavy atmosphere suggests to play pool.
After a while Emma relaxes.
"Phill, you're still wearing that same old stupid hat."
"Well, l...just about got it broken in".
"Now, you sit your bony ass down there and watch and see me teach Killian here how to lose at pool."
"Well, see, that's the thing." Killian answers smiling. Emma decides to play. She`s had already too much to drink and feels weightless.
"I'm not really a watch-and-see kind of girl... am l, Kills"
They start playing.
"So, Killian.." August starts "are you going to divorce this girl or what? "
"Well, she waited 7 years. A couple more days won't kill her...unfortunately." He narrows his eyes at her. Emma mocks him.
"Like it's gonna make a difference."
"You never know."
"You might be interested to learn Killian has this whole…" Phillip comments but Killian interrupts hims
"Hey, hey, let her think whatever she wants,Phill".
"She made up her mind about me a long time ago."
"Some things never change." Says Aurora.
All the group laughs. They keep playing until it's just Killian and Emma left.
"Okay, mate, it's you and Ems."
"It's just like state playoffs". Cheers August. "We're down by 6, 7 seconds to go. We need that big, beautiful 52-yard bomb!"
They all cheer, remembering.
"Do you remember that, Ems?" asks Ruby.
"How could I forget? That was the night Killian got me pregnant." She looks at Killian sharply. Killians face is stone. But inside he is hurting
"Ooooh." All of the others stay quiet.
"Why don't you just go public with that shit? " "Oh, come on." Emma shrugs
It's not like anybody can keep a secret around here..." Emma snaps noticing the tension of her comment. She is drunk so she keeps going.
"except for Greg here".
"Now, what did l ever do to you?" Greg whispers scared,
"You never did anything to me, darlin'... or any other girl in town". Emma smirks satisfied to see the hurt in his eyes.
[ Laughter ]
"Emma, what is the matter with you?" someone comments
· What do you mean?" asks Emma laughing
" Oh, she's just unhappy". Killian grabs her, but she yank her arm away.
"Well, of course, I would be, too, if "Women's Wear Daily" called me "less than mediocre."" Greg comments defending himself.
[ Laughter ]
"Oh! Why don't you just go to a gay bar?!" she throws at him.
" Ooh!" – There`s light laughter and whispers in all Granny`s
"Now, what would Greg do at a gay bar?" someone asks
"Well..".
Pool cue clatters
"I think I had about enough fun for one night." Killian is mad, he grabs Emma forcefully trying to take her to the front door.
"Oh, come on, I was just kidding."
"Hey, Granny!" Emma screams drunkly "How 'bout another round of drinks for my friends here?"
Granny approaches her quietly looking at her with pity "Honey, I think you've had about enough."·
"You know what? I think you're right. I have had enough. I mean, how do you people live like this, anyway?" she keeps saying trying to get to get out of Killian`s arms but he grabs her tighter each time.
"All right, that's it, that's it. Come on."
" Wait" she turns back "Did you know that there's a great, big world out there?"
"It has absolutely nothin' to do with chitlins or children or beer!"
"I liked her better when she was crazy." Phillip looks at August,
Killian sighs, now outside the dinner.
"What makes you think you can treat them like somethin' you stepped in in them fancy shoes, huh?! "
"You asked for it!" she shouts at him stumbling as she tries to walk straight
"I asked for it?!"
"You show up here, you steal my money, you rearrange my house, and then you insult my friends, actin' like you're better than 'em!"
"I am better than them. And you stole my pen!" Killian roll his eyes tired of her.
"That's all that matters to you, isn't it?"
"Killian"
"The money... the labels, the shoes, you're pathetic!" he spits with thick accent.
"Oh, like you're goin' places!" . Killian huffs at the comment
"Well, I am as soon as l get my keys out of here."
"Oh, no, you don't. No, you don't, Emma" He takes her purse away.
"Give me my purse!"
"You want to kill yourself? "
"At least I'm doin' somethin' with my life."
"Get in the truck, Emma."
"All right!"
Milah walks out of the dinner.
"So, l...guess the date's over, huh?" Killian smiles at her.
"Do me a favor". He says giving her Emma`s car keys
"Hmm?"
" Follow us home."
He turns in time to see Emma throw up. And sighs deeply. Emma passes out on their way home.
