Chapter 20:
Emma woke up to the sound of eggs cooking on the stove, she slowly raised her head as she opened her eyes. Her head pounded, feeling like a train was driving straight through it.
"Morning, love." Killian called, he was standing in the kitchen with no shirt and a pair of sweatpants that hung low on his hips. Emma blinked, trying to remember how she ended up here with him. When she removed the sheet from her body, all the memories came rushing to her as she say her lack of clothing.
"Holy fuck." Emma yelled, jumping up to collect all her clothes. Killian looked at her with lust, checking out her bare ass as she bent over for the clothes.
"Come eat." He ordered, placing a plate of food on the table but Emma ignored him.
"This was a onetime thing." She growled, quickly dressing as she rushed to the front door. Kilian lunged and slammed the door as soon as she opened it.
"Where the bloody hell do you think you are going?" He growled, blocking her from leaving the apartment.
"I am leaving." She stated, pulling on the door knob but he kept his weight against it.
"That isn't an option. I don't do one night stands with you." He said, wrapping his arms around her and slowly walked her backwards to the dining table. She mumbled cuss words, making him at grin at her colorful names for him.
"I left you. This, between us, is over." Emma said, pointing at his chest then at her chest. He shook his head and lowered his head down to her ear.
"Not after last night. I can't let you leave now." He whispered, biting on the ear lobe. Emma moaned but then collected her thoughts. She quickly slipped under his arms and rushed to the door, leaving the apartments with Killian close on her heels.
"Swan, come back here." He ordered but she just quickly rushed out of the building then asked the doorman to call her a cab.
"Come back to the apartment." He growled, grabbed her arm but Emma yanked out of his grasp. She knew that he wouldn't make a scene in public but he didn't leave her side.
"This is over." Emma repeated, refusing to look at him. He let out a low growl that only she could hear, making her shake a little on the inside.
"Emma, if you leave now, our relationship will be over for good. You don't really want that." He said, his fingers focusing her chin to look up at him.
"That is what I have been saying. I was in this relationship for the sex but you are starting to get feelings for me." She said, glaring into his lustful blue eyes. He sighed and looked deep into her soul, making her weak at the knees a little.
"Are you saying that you don't have feelings for me?" He asked, Emma looked away as the cab pulled up in front of them.
"I don't." She stated even though both of them knew that she was lying. Killian let out a sigh and opened the cab door for her, kissing the top of her hand before she got into the car.
"It was nice knowing you, Ms. Swan." He said, helping her into the cab.
"Nice knowing you as well, Mr. Jones." She responded, nodding a goodbye as he shut the door. As soon as the cab drove off, the tears that had started to fill her eyes began falling down her face as she watching Killian disappear behind her.
4 Weeks Later
"Emma, where have you been?" Ruby called out as soon as Emma opened the door to her apartment. She sighed and slipped off her shoes, walking slowly into the kitchen. Ruby had just finished ordering dinner, she watched as Emma pulled out a bottle of wine from the cabinet.
"Work is a bitch." She complained, pouring a large glass for herself then passed the bottle to Ruby. Graham had switched partners after that one night and her partner was too happy for her taste.
"Is it Tink again?" Ruby asked, following Emma into the living room. She nodded and flipped on Netflix as she collapsed onto the couch.
"Graham was so calm and laid-back, Tink follows me around like she is my shadow or something." Emma said, she couldn't find anything on Netflix that she wanted to watch so she switched to the news instead.
"Well, my day was amazing. Victor surprised me for lunch, even though we didn't eat that much." Ruby said, laughing as Emma made a disgusted face at her.
"Too much information." She said right as the doorbell rang, she stood up and grabbed her wallet to pay for the food.
"In most recent news, Jones Enterprises just broke ground on the new apartment building. This will be Killian Jones's third project in the past 8 months." The news announced as Emma walked back into the living room with the food. Ruby froze and looked at Emma who looked at Killian's smiling face that filled the screen.
"You ok?" Ruby whispered, watching her friend with concern. Emma nodded and sat down on the couch, fighting back tears. She hated seeing Killian's face everywhere she went but it was kind of hard to avoid the face of the richest man in the city. As she opened the container of Chinese food, the smell filled her nose and she felt sick.
"Emma, Emma?" Ruby called after her friend, rushing after her as Emma charged to the bathroom. She barely made it to the toilet in time, emptying the contents of her stomach. Ruby rubbed her back and held her hair back as Emma cried into the toilet.
"Are you ok?" Ruby finally asked once Emma had stopped throwing up. Emma slowly nodded, trying to think of what had just happened.
"Did you eat something bad at work?"
"No, I had a protein bar and Gatorade because I was at a crime scene." Emma responded, suddenly it hit her.
"Ruby." She whispered, looking at her friend with fear. Ruby looked at her and it hit her as well, she stood up and rushed out of the apartment to the closet store that sold what they needed. Emma aid on the cold floor, praying that she was wrong, she couldn't possibly be pregnant.
"Here, I grabbed three different tests." Ruby yelled, rushing back into the apartment. Emma was standing in the kitchen, chugging lemonade so that she would have to pee. Emma grabbed the bag and went into the bathroom, Ruby sat in the living room and waited.
"Five minutes." Emma said, sitting next to Ruby. They held hands, time seemed to slow down as they waited for the results. The second the clock showed that five minutes had passed, Emma and Ruby ran to the bathroom. They both look at all three tests, reading the instructed to see what the signs might.
"Oh fuck." Emma cried out, collapsing on the floor when she saw the two pink lines on each of the tests.
