Chapter 14: It's Dishonorable... Oh What The Hell?

Killian and Milah sat down to dinner with the king, queen and children but Killian frowned when he saw Isabelle's chair empty,

"Has anyone seen Isabelle?" he asked and his mother smiled at him,

"She said that she was taking dinner in her room and going to review the children's lesson plan for this week so that we could all have time to catch up" Alice told her son and Killian nodded in understanding,

"Very well" he murmured more to himself but Milah smiled brightly, standing from her chair and went over to little Chrissy,

"I heard that someone was a little down because her bear went missing so I had my man servant fetch this for me" she said before holding up a big brown furred bear with a big red satin bow around his neck but Chrissy looked at Milah unimpressed,

"Fluffster's a rabbit" she grumbled simply and Milah tried her best not to glare at the child for making her look a fool as the other royal siblings snickered quietly,

"Well I'm sure you'll have a lot more fun playing with... Fluffy here" she said awkwardly,

"... He's not fluffy" Chrissy said simply and Killian could feel the tension building in the air,

"Perhaps she could play with... Fluffy later, Milah" he proposed and Milah smiled, gritting her teeth,

"Very well" she agreed, setting the stuffed bear down on the floor beside Chrissy's chair before returning to her own chair beside Killian's; Not seeing how Chrissy kicked the bear away from her with a pout on her face as she began using her thought to move her food around her plate with a unimpressed expression.

~ A Few Hours Later ~

Killian was tucking his children into bed and Amber looked up at him sadly,

"Why isn't Miss Isabelle here to wish us goodnight?" she asked,

"She always comes and reads us a bedtime story with you before wishing us goodnight" Lily pointed out to her father but he offered his children a reassuring smile,

"I'm sure that she's either still busy reviewing your lesson plan or she has perhaps fallen asleep whilst doing so. You know how hard she works" he reminded them before standing and picked up the book of fairy tales up off the bookshelf,

"I can still read you your bedtime story" he told them but Little Chrissy pouted,

"It won't be fun without Isabelle here to help you do the voices... Plus Fluffster's not here and he loves story time" she mumbled and Killian sighed, going over and pressed a kiss to his daughter's forehead,

"Maybe you could help me do the voices whilst Isabelle isn't here" he suggested and Chrissy managed a smile before climbing onto her father's lap,

"Ok, daddy" she said with a giggle before opening the book to a page and Killian picked up where they had left off last bedtime.

Killian gave a sad sigh as he returned to his room; He wished their was something he could do to cheer his children up; However he was soon pulled from his thoughts when he found Milah standing outside his bedroom door with a seductive smile on her face whilst wearing a white nightgown that did not leave much to the imagination,

"Milah?... What brings you here?" he asked and she smiled brightly with lustful eyes as she approached and placed her hands on his shoulders,

"You seemed stressed at dinner so I came to help you... De stress" she whispered in his ear before beginning to press kisses to his neck but he smiled awkwardly, pushing her away gently,

"You... You are very kind, Milah but... It's late and it wouldn't be right... We're not married yet and to lay with you would be dishonorable" he told her and Milah looked at him horrified as if he had punched her in the face,

"You're rejecting me?" she demanded angrily,

"Milah I am not in the mood for... This" he said, gesturing to her state of prerogative dress with a firm expression on his face,

"I am also not in the mood to argue with you" he told her before entering his room,

"Goodnight" he bid before closing the door and Milah stomped her food with an angry squeak before storming off down the hall.

Killian was stunned to find Isabelle pacing within his room when he turned after closing his door on Milah,

"Isabelle?" he said causing her to look at him in relief,

"At last. I need your help" she told him with a sad expression and he looked at her concerned,

"What is it? What's wrong?" he asked, placing his hands on her shoulders and Isabelle reached into her pocket and retrieved the charred remains of Chrissy's beloved toy and Killian's eyes widened,

"Fluffster... What... Where did you...?" he tried,

"A maid was cleaning out Princess Milah's fireplace of the useless coal and lumber and I spotted him in the basket... I... I know I should have been there to tuck the children in and read their bedtime story with you but... I... I couldn't look at Chrissy's face without knowing..." she tried as she began to cry and Killian pulled her into a gentle hug,

"Shhhhh... It's alright... I... I can't believe Milah would do this. Rest assured I will confront her about this but first I need to fix this before Chrissy Realizes" he said before taking the ruined toy from Isabelle's hand and went over to his wardrobe before retrieving a pillow case and some socks,

"Can you help me?" he asked and Isabelle nodded as they began to assemble a new Fluffster based on the one Chrissy was holding within the portrait on Killian's bedside table.

Isabelle smiled at the newly finished Fluffster Two,

"She's be overjoyed to have him back" she said and Killian nodded,

"Indeed. I can't bare to see her when she's said" Killian murmured with a sad smile and Isabelle placed a comforting hand on his shoulder,

"You're a good father, Killian" she told him with a gentle smile before taking the new rabbit from his hands,

"I'll go and give it to her" she told him, standing but Killian gently caught her wrist and pulled her back as he sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at her with warm eyes,

"We can give it to her tomorrow" he murmured before lifting her hand and pressed a kiss to its surface and Isabelle's heart skipped a beat as Killian stood, taking Fluffster Two from her free hand and placed it beside the photo of his children before brushing a stray curl behind Isabelle's ear,

"Killian..." she whispered as he looked down at her, softly brushing his nose against her own as both their eyes closed,

"... We can't... It's dishonorable" she whispered,

"... I don't care" Killian whispered,

"... Oh what the hell?" Isabelle whispered as their lips flew together in a passionate kiss which soon followed with Killian lifting her into his arms before laying her down on the bed and a night of passion followed by the glow of the fireplace.
