I hope you guys enjoyed the last two chapters! I'm not sticking to the movie 100% but there are some similarities. I know Graham hasn't been doing much in this fic yet but don't worry, that will change! This chapter has a little bit of HookerQueen friendship, I've always thought they would make a great team since they're very similar, but if you're not a fan of them even as friends I hope it doesn't put you off reading this story, please enjoy! Oh and I do not own OUAT or Mamma Mia or any of the characters mentioned
"So, what's bringing you two to Storybrooke?" Robin asked as he took a seat beside the two men.
"Wedding, although, I've actually never met the bride or the groom." David replied. Graham nodded in agreement.
Robin looked at them before saying the same thing. He found it rather odd that all three men had found themselves in the exact same situation. "Why are you going if you've never met them?"
"There's someone I need to fix things with." David smiled sadly.
"It's a beautiful island so why would I waste that opportunity." Graham partially lied, that wasn't the only reason he was going but he didn't feel like getting into his story about how his pen pal stopped writing to him, he had an image to uphold.
"Indeed it is." Robin smiled.
The three men spent the rest of their time on the boat getting to know each other a little better, finding each other more tolerable than before. Even Roland was getting involved and playing with David, the boy was extremely shy and rarely ever spoke to anyone he didn't know but Robin was glad he was having a good time. The island soon came into view for the sailor as he tried to tell Graham how to navigate the ship. The Irishman was obviously struggling and it didn't look like he was going to get the hang of it any time soon so David took over, turned out he was a natural.
Meanwhile, Regina was still unsure on how to deal with Emma's situation. She didn't want to disappoint her by telling her that not even she knows who her father is but she also didn't want to give her false hope, this is the type of situation Regina would go to Mary Margaret about but for once, she had to figure it out on her own. The brunette made her way towards the top of the cliff that overlooked the beautiful ocean, granted there wasn't actually anything to see but when the sun was setting it would be the most romantic thing. Unfortunately, it was only noon and there was no romance in Regina's life. What she didn't expect was to be followed up there, jumping when a male voice came from behind her.
"You alright, love?" It was Killian. She looked at the younger man and noticed the concern in his eyes, he could see that something was bothering her and, on top of that, he could see her pacing back and forth from his place on the hotel roof so he decided to check on her. To be honest, he just wanted to make a good impression on Regina; he knew how important she was to Emma.
She gave him a reassuring smile and nodded her head. "I'm fine, Mr Jones, it's just this heat."
He saw right through it, after being with Emma for three years he was able to tell when someone was lying. "Please, call me Killian. Are you sure? If you don't mind me saying, you don't look alright. I noticed that you went to speak with Emma, is she okay?" His concern for his fiancé evident in both his eyes and his voice.
"No, Emma's fine." She smiled but she noticed something different about him, she knew exactly was on his mind. "Killian, you don't need to worry about impressing me. You make Emma happy and that gets you a mark in the hero column." She told him.
Killian let out the breath he had been holding, he wasn't sure what the older woman thought of him and that made him nervous. He liked her, he really did, and he knew exactly why she was chosen to be Emma's godmother over Ruby. Before he could continue their conversation, he was distracted by a yacht that appeared to be sailing towards the dock, Killian knew there weren't any tourist trips or anymore boats due to arrive at the island, which only confused him further. Regina noticed that the man was now paying attention to something out in the ocean so she turned to see what was holding the man's confused gaze.
"Excuse me, love, but I have to what's going on down there." He smiled at her.
Regina knew that Storybrooke rarely got any visitors and she was sure that the next boat to the island wasn't until Monday so why was there another boat arriving? Her eyes widened as she realised that the men Emma had secretly invited were most likely on that boat, it only made sense. She couldn't let Killian know about this, what if he told Mary Margaret? Regina had to act fast if she wanted to keep Emma's secret.
"Actually, Killian, do you mind the company? I just feel that we should get to know each other before the big day." She wasn't lying but she was also only saying that so he would agree to her going with him, luckily for her, he did.
Killian gave her a small smile; he was so used to doing these things alone so when Regina offered to go with him, he was more than happy to accept. He liked the woman and he knew that Emma would be happy to know that they were getting along well. The two made their way towards Killian's truck and drove down the dirt road. It wasn't ideal for Regina but she made do, she was trying to save Emma's ass after all. However, she wasn't expecting Killian to be so... Shy. He had every quality a woman looked for in a man yet he was afraid he wasn't enough for Emma, although Regina assured him that they were an ideal couple, the man was still nervous. That made Regina smile, she liked that he was genuine about his feelings towards her goddaughter; this one wouldn't break her heart. After what started off as an awkward drive, Regina and Killian found themselves enjoying each other's company, what surprised them most was that they had so much in common. As they reached the pier, they spotted three men dragging their suitcases along behind them whilst one of them carried a young boy in his arms; they were heading along the pathway that would take them straight to the hotel. Killian slowed down the car, he contemplated honking the horn but he didn't want to startle them, particularly the child. He pulled the car to a halt and both he and Regina got out, walking towards the strangers.
Regina immediately knew that she was right when she thought they were the men Emma had invited, she had to distract Killian somehow and stop him from finding out the truth.
"Excuse me," Killian shouted to get their attention. The three men turned to see who had called on them, "Apologise if I sound rude but what are you doing on the island?"
The three men looked at each other, waiting to see who was going to respond first. Robin decided to take the plunge. "Well, each of us received an invite to the wedding of Killian Jones and Emma Swan. Do you happen to know either of them?"
Regina was beginning to panic; she needed to think of something now. Killian was moments away from discovering what Emma was up to.
"I am Killian Jones. Who invited you to my wedding?" The younger man asked, just as confused as he was when he initially saw their boat.
This was it. Regina had finally thought of something, it wasn't perfect and it probably wasn't going to work but hey, at least she's got something. "I did." She spoke up.
Killian gave her a funny look, as did the three men. Regina made eye contact with Robin and tried to subtly get him to go along with her plan. Robin knew that something was wrong and that the beautiful brunette in front of him was trying to get his attention. He picked up on it quickly and went along with her.
"Their old friends of ours and I decided that I wanted to surprise Ruby and Mary Margaret by inviting them. Of course, neither of them know so I'd appreciate it if you kept quiet about it, please." She said convincingly.
David and Graham gave each other strange looks behind Robin's back, they had no idea what he was doing and they had no idea who this woman was but it appeared that she was trying to help them out. Regina looked at Killian and put on her best fake smile, fortunately for her, he bought it.
"Of course, love. Do you, uh, want to catch up with them? You can take my truck if you want? I don't mind the walk." He asked politely.
The woman knew she would have to inform the three men about what was going on and Killian had just given her the perfect opportunity to do so, however, she was unsure on what to do. She didn't just want to force Killian to walk all the way up that hill alone. Killian noticed her confliction and chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." He said as he gave her keys and began walking up the hill, smiling at the men as he passed them.
As soon as he was far enough, Robin turned back to Regina, holding the sleeping Roland tightly in one arm before extending his other to Regina. "Robin Locksley." He smiled.
Regina couldn't help but notice his cute little dimples when he smiled, not to mention the fact that she adored his British accent. She smiled back and shook his hand. "Regina Mills."
They both let their hands linger a little longer than necessary, David and Graham feeling awkward in the background as they noticed that the two were both immediately taken by each other. David let out a cough so they would notice his and Graham's presence. The two blushed and let go of their hands.
"I'm sorry but what was that back there?" The American asked.
Regina looked at him, now she had some explaining to do. Of course, she wasn't going to tell them about the whole father thing but she at least had to tell them why she was covering for them. "How about I fill you in when we're in the car?"
David opened his mouth to protest but Robin jumped in. "Of course, milady, lead the way." He smiled at her.
Regina returned the smile before leading the men to the truck, allowing them to load their bags into the back. After Robin gently placed Roland into the seat in between David and Graham, he sat in the front passenger seat beside Regina. There was something about this woman, he liked her, he knew that, but he couldn't help but think that maybe there would be something more to it than just an attraction, unaware that Regina was thinking the exact same thing. At that moment, both Robin and Regina knew that this trip was about to get a whole lot more interesting.
