Chapter 29:
2 Weeks till Wedding
"Emma!" Ruby shouted as soon as she walked into the apartment. Killian groaned and rubbed his head, he had been enjoying the peaceful day.
"You know, indoors voice are used for a reason." He said, looking at Ruby as she sat down on the couch. She just rolled her eyes and glared at him.
"So what is this I hear about you not letting Emma have a fun bachelorette party?" He stiffened, he knew that Ruby was going to bring this up and fight him about it.
"It will be fun. She just isn't allowed to leave the apartment."
"So you are staying as well then because it is completely unfair that she can't have fun but you can."
"I don't trust her." Killian simply replied, getting annoyed that Ruby was the one fight him. She knew that he couldn't say no to her.
"But you trust me and Snow. I don't see the problem, it's not like we are going out to do drugs or something." Ruby shot back, crossing her arms across her chest.
"I still don't trust her. No matter who she is with."
"Killian, if you don't let Emma out for her bachelorette party then I will personally make your wedding a personal hell." Killian's head shot up and looked at her, she showed no signs of joking.
"You are bluffing. You wouldn't dare." He hissed, getting a little worried that she wasn't.
"I am dead serious. And I believe Emma will back me up 100%." She hissed right back. As they glared at each other, Emma walked down the stairs.
"You guys ok?" She asked, the tension was strong between Ruby and Killian. Ruby raised an eyebrow at Killian, waiting for his answer.
"Yes, we are peachy. Ruby was just convincing me to let you out for your party." Killian forced through his teeth. He hated the power that Ruby had over him, Emma's mouth spread in a large smile.
"Really?! Thank you, Killian." Emma rushed over and hugged Killian, taking him off guard a little. Ruby smiled at him and stood up, pulling Emma away from him.
"Come on. We have to get to your last fitting appointment." Ruby dragged Emma to the elevator while Killian watched them leave.
"You girls have fun." He waved goodbye, winking at Emma. She rolled her eyes but smiled as the doors closed.
"We are in the all clear." Ruby shouted when Emma and she met Snow at a local coffee shop. Snow jumped up and clapped her hands, hugging Ruby then Emma.
"Finally! Now I can make those plans."
"How did you convince him? He was pretty set on not letting me go." Emma asked after Snow returned with the coffee. Ruby shrugged her shoulders and took a sip.
"Killian can't say no to me. I am like a younger sister to him." Ruby explained, making Emma look at her with confusion.
"Killian says no all the time. What makes you special?" Snow giggled and set down her coffee.
"When Killian first came to the city, Ruby was the one to take him in. She helped him create the Brothers of Darkness." Ruby nodded and continued the story.
"I am basically the co boss of the Brothers. I am the one that gives Killian the advice he needs and help him get connections in high places." Emma looked between Snow and Ruby, still confused.
"I thought you joined the Brothers when you married Victor."
"No that's just we tell people, Killian introduced us after the Brothers took control of the city. It was a sort of cover so that people didn't know that I was 'co boss' of the Brothers." Ruby explained, Emma nodded finally understanding what she was saying.
"What about you, Snow? What is your story?" Emma asked, nodding to Snow.
"My story isn't as confusing as Ruby's. I met David after the Brothers saved me from another gang. Killian took me to Ruby and she helped me get onto my own two feet. David took a special interest in me and he helped me as well, you could say that we fell in love at first sight." Snow blushed just thinking about it.
"That's so sweet." Emma said, smiling as they collected their things.
"Alright, time to go finish wedding planning." Ruby announced as they grabbed a cab.
"Can you believe that you are going to Ms. Jones in 2 weeks?" Snow asked Emma as they drove to their next appointment.
"No, it seems like I am in dream and at any moment I will awake up." Emma replied, staring at her engagement ring.
"Any news on the mole?" Killian asked his Brothers, they sat around the dining room table. Victor, David, Graham, and Jefferson all shook their head, unsure what to say.
"Damn it. I was hoping we would have this problem solved before the wedding." Killian growled, running his fingers through his hair.
"We are having all the selected Brothers working overtime to solve the problem but the mole is harder to find than before."
"Work harder than! I do not need the mole giving information out to Neal about my wedding, I want it to be perfect." Killian yelled, slamming his fist down on the table.
"How about we split everyone into groups of four? Then we feed each group a different piece of information, the one that gets to Neal is the one with the mole." David suggested, making everyone think.
"That sounds good to me. Include all the wives and hookers, we can't take any risks." Killian added, liking the plan.
"What information should we feed?" Victor asked, typing everything down on his laptop.
"Something about Emma, I hate to use her but Neal has an obsession with her so it will click with him." Jefferson said, making Killian stiffen but he knew that it was the only way.
"Do it. Say that Emma is going to a event, give a different location to each group. Then we will have someone waiting at each of the location so that when Neal shows up to one of them, we will know what group has the mole." Killian said, making sure that everyone knew the plan. They all agreed and planned more of the details, not noticing Emma walking into the room.
"I am back." She announced, making all the men look up. Killian smiled and waved her over to his lap. She obeyed and sat down, he turned her around so she was straddling his lap.
"Leave." He hissed to his Brothers, without breaking eye contact with Emma. The Brothers quickly collected their things and left the room, Jefferson closing the sliding doors behind him.
"Did you have fun tonight?" Killian asked, placing kisses on Emma's neck. She nodded and moaned as Killian made her hickeys darker.
"I missed you." He whispered, running his hands up and down her sides. Emma moaned again in response, digging her fingers into his shoulders. He chuckled and continued sucking on her skin, making the old marks new again.
"Everything for the wedding is done." Emma whispered, finally talking. Killian looked at her and smiled.
"2 more weeks." He said, kissing her ring before looking back at her.
"2 more weeks." Emma repeated before Killian captured her lips in a heated kiss.
