I do not own Once Upon a Time.

The next twenty-four hours changed everything for Jewel of the World. The entire board was arrested for two counts of accessory of murder and one count of accessory to attempted murder.

Tara and Killian were not present at the office when the arrests were made. They decided to be the bigger person and not cause more of a scene. Instead, they watched the news at Tara and Neal's apartment with the family and the people they could trust.

There was a knock at the door. Neal left the room to answer it, then walked back with Ruby following.

"Hey, you're late. That's very unlike you." Tara remarked, concern written on her face.

"Where were you?" Killian asked.

"Down at the station." That was Ruby's quick response then she walked into the kitchen to grab an ice pack for her hand.

Tara and Killian understood instantly. Ruby was not going to let them pull all the punches. Family averages family.

"That's the bad man, Mommy?" Sophia asked Tara.

"Yes, baby. He's going away for a very long time and he can't hurt us." Tara drew her daughter close. They were now safe from the past.

"What are you going to do about all the empty seats on the board?" Regina asked, her hand had been tight in Robin's. She had to get them back to thinking about the company. "It could just be the two of you but I highly advise against that…"

"We know you do." Killian joked. "Those crazy Jones kids."

"Actually we have a work lunch with August tomorrow. He's leaving The Wooden Boat and wants to join forces with us." Tara said.

"Won't that be a conflict of interest?" Robin wanted to know.

"We all know August is a good guy, he wants to get out from his father's shadow. Besides, Archie is taking over the company after Marco and no one knows what Skye's plans are. But nothing is set in stone."

On the professional front, things were looking up for Killian. Personal side, well he was wishing for the best.

"Thank you, for everything you did." Emma was sitting on a park bench next to Killian two days later. She was done with all the paperwork finally. Arresting all the board members was a long crazy process. But she was glad justice was served and that Killian wasn't a job anymore.

"No, it was all you. Your case, your success." Killian tapped his coffee to her hot chocolate.

"But you helped." She didn't feel right taking all the credit.

"Maybe I did. Your welcome." He grinned, then asked the question that had been on his mind. "What's next for the brilliant Emma Swan?"

What was next for her? "I was offered a full time position with the police department. New York is my new home." That excited Emma, but she didn't just want New York for the job, if it was possible. "What about you? First flight back to Storybrooke?" She was scared of his answer.

"No, I am sticking around." Killian responded. He was going to regardless, the company and family and all but now, well, fate was being nice for once.

"Because your family and your job are here, good idea. Tara would hunt you down if you left again."

Killian chuckled. "I know, but there's another reason I'm staying."

"Finally learning responsibility?" Emma joked. There was honesty in his voice that she couldn't overlook.

"No, well yes." He reached out and touched her chin. Emma's green eyes met his blue ones. "But you're here. You are my reason for staying here."

She smiled, overcome with emotion, mostly good ones though. At the moment she actually saw her walls crumble. "Kiss me." She half asked, half commanded.

Killian wasn't going to be told twice.

"You know, Killian and I are going to fight it out over who gets to name their son Liam." Tara remarked, slipping into bed with Neal later that night.

"Let him have it." Neal said. He had another name in mind, one he knew she would approve of.

"Then what, pray tell, do we name this one?" Tara placed her hand on her currently flat stomach.

Neal rolled over to face her and placed his hand over hers. "How about Graham?"

Tara's eyes widened at his suggestion, they were filled with love. Graham had been her best friend, her other brother, her life saver, he had taught her everything she knew. One day he was standing right next to her and the next he was gone.

She snuggled closer. "Graham Patrick Cassidy."

"Now that's got a ring to it.

Ruby got to beat someone up, both Emma and Killian are staying in New York and Tara is pregnant. Aww.
