Chapter 22:
"Emma Swan, answer me." He growled, wrapping his fingers around her chin so that she was forced to look him in the eyes. Tears started to fill her eyes as she looked it his deep blue eyes, they look mad and unsure.
"Let go." She whispered as she tried to pull away from his grasp but he just tightened down.
"Answer me." He repeated, talking to her like she was a five year old that was caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
"Yes." She hissed, rubbing her chain when he finally released her.
"Is it mine?" He asked, looking down at her stomach like it was carrying an alien. She covered her stomach and began walking away, tears fell down her face as she listened to him follow her.
"Leave me alone." Killian grabbed her arm and yanked her back, anger filled his eyes.
"Yes, it is yours." She answered, looking at her stomach.
"Are you sure?" Her head shot up and her hand went to slap him but he stopped her.
"Of course it is yours, I have only slept with you. I kept up with my end of the contact." She growled at him, his fingers tightening down on her wrist.
"I thought you were on the pill." He growled back, ignoring the tears of pain falling from her eyes.
"You shouldn't assume things, I had missed one day. I figured you were going to wear a condom."
"You shouldn't assume things either." He shot back, looking at her stomach with disgust again.
"Emma, you ok?" Graham's voice sounded from behind her and Killian let out a low hiss.
"What the hell is he doing here?" He asked Emma, his fingers tightening even more so that she could feel bruises forming.
"Let go of her." Graham shoved Killian, causing him to release Emma as Graham wrapped his arms around her.
"Emma." Killian yelled, causing everyone in the clinic to stop and stare at them. Emma started to shake and leaned more into Graham.
"He is here to help me. Please calm down." She responded but he only got more annoyed.
"I should be one that helps you, I am the father." He yelled, pulling at his hair. One of the nurses came up to comfort him but he waved her away.
"Killian, we went our separate ways. I am giving you a way out, please take it." She begged, Graham rubbed his hand on her back to comfort her while he stared at Killian's reaction.
"I want to be involved, I need to be involved." He said, moving closer to her but Graham tighten his arms around her.
"Please, Killian." Emma begged, a part of her was happy that he wanted to be involved but the other part didn't want him to be anywhere close to her because she didn't want her feelings to surface again.
"We can raise this baby together, we can get do this together." He begged, coming to terms with the fact that she was carrying his child.
"I am not ready to be a mother." She whispered, avoiding eye contact with Graham and Killian.
"No one is ready to be a parent but we can lean on each other for support." He pleaded, trying to make Emma see that he was 100% committed to his future child. "We have to be ready, this baby is coming whether we want it to or not."
Emma looked down at the ground, she waited for Killian to think about what he had just said.
"There is another option." She whispered, low enough so that only Graham and he could hear. She felt Graham pulled her even closer and she looked at Killian, his face was so dark that she couldn't recognize him.
"That isn't an option." He growled through his teeth, his hands in tight fists.
"It is for Emma, this is her choice in the end." Graham finally spoke up, he glared at Killian with pure hate.
"Emma." Killian hissed, moving closer but Graham pulled her away.
"Let's go. Stay away from her, if she needs you she will call you." He told Killian, leading Emma out of the clinic. He helped her into the car and quickly drove off but not before Emma saw Killian come out of the clinic with a dark look on his face.
"Thank you, Graham." She whispered, staring down at her stomach with sadness.
"Anything for you." He said, after about five minutes of silence he reached over and placed a comforting hand on her stomach that made Emma stiffen.
"If you decide to keep this baby, I will help you raise it. You don't have to go back to Killian if you don't want to." He whispered, rubbing soft circles on her stomach as she placed a hand on top of his.
"You are too good to me, Graham." She whispered back, tears falling down her face.
"You are my best friend in the whole world, I would take a bullet for you if you wanted." She let out a soft laugh as she watched his hand on her stomach.
"Is it possible for me to stay at your place? I am not ready to talk to Ruby yet plus Killian…" Her thoughts drifted to him, he looked angry but also a little sad as they drove away from the clinic.
"Of course, do you want to stop to grab some clothes?" Emma nodded and Graham drove to her apartment, they quickly grabbed her some things before Ruby came home from her shift at work.
"You can take my bed, I will use the couch. Just let me empty out a drawer for you." Graham said, unlocking the door to his apartment. He lived in a studio apartment, close to the police station so that he could save money on gas.
"No, I can sleep on the couch." Emma said, placing her things down on the couch. It was old, he and Emma had bought it right out of the academy but he was too cheap to get a new one.
"Hell to the no, you are now carrying other person with you. That means you get the bed." He said, making Emma giggle as she sat down on the bed.
"We could share, it won't bother me." She offered, he had a king size bed that was his favorite piece of furniture in the whole apartment.
"Are you sure? I really don't mind." He was trying to be a gentleman but she could tell that he really wanted to sleep in his bed.
"I don't mind at all." She answered as she laughed at his face spreading into a grin.
"Dinner?" He asked after he emptied a drawer for, Emma looked up from her book and nodded. He chuckled and went over to the kitchen area to order takeout. There was a knock at the door and Emma stood up to answer it.
"Emma, can you get that?" Graham called over and she shouted yes back to him as she opened the door.
"Emma, we need to talk about this." Killian said as soon as she looked at him.
