Chapter 6- Revealed

It was late when Killian dropped Emma off at her car. The plan was for her to go to Elsa's to stay and he would join them in the morning for breakfast. His mind was still reeling from the evenings events and he couldn't stop smiling. He had gotten her back, and he had no intention of ever letting her go again.

Now he had a difficult situation to figure out. Killian chose Emma, no matter what. But, now he had to tell Milah that it was over between them and he didn't think she would take that news well at all. The wedding was still five months away, so he could cancel everything no problem. His family would be thrilled, hers, not so much.

As he pulled up to his house, he noticed a strange black truck in the driveway. All the lights were out so he knew she didn't have anyone over this late. Killian parked his bike at the end of the driveway and stepped lightly, hoping not to rouse her. He wanted to know what was going on.

As he entered his house, everything seemed quiet. He quietly slipped his boots off and tip toed up the stairs toward his room. He heard a loud noise, and stopped making himself as small as possible, listening intently. The noise started up again and Killian strained to make out what it could be. It sounded like...

It sounded like the headboard banging against the wall.

Anger flashed behind Kilian's eyes as he made his way up the stairs and stood by the bedroom listening against the door, he could hear moaning as the head board was hitting the wall and his suspicions were confirmed. Killian slammed the door open to his bedroom to find Milah in bed, with Keith Nottingham.

His heart sank as anger boiled up high in his veins. He was going to end things with her tomorrow, yes but it still hurt after three years with someone. It was a betrayal that no one deserved. He felt bad enough about kissing Emma. He didn't regret it, but he would have rather ended things with Milah first.

All the more reason to end things now.

"What the bloody hell is going on here?" Killian growled in a low tone, eyes flashing in anger.

"Killian!" Milah scrambled to cover herself up. "It isn't what it looks like!"

Killian scoffed, "Oh, Aye. And what exactly is it then?"

"We… I mean he... Keith… I thought you were staying at Liam's tonight!"

"Not tonight!" Killian was losing his temper now. "But apparently I should have called before coming back into my own bloody home! How long has this been going on?"

"Killian…"

"How long?!"

Milah took a deep breath and looked down and her hands, "A year."

Killian felt as if the floor were going to swallow him right then and there. "A year?! A bloody fucking year?! Were you planning on stopping or were you just going to fuck the bloke through our entire fucking marriage?"

Milah looked at her hands not saying a word.

"Answer me!"

"No," Milah whispered. "I was going to stop after the wedding."

Killian rubbed his hand over face, his anger starting to get the best of him. "Well let me save you the trouble Milah. It's over, we're done."

Milah wrapped the blanket around her and stood leaving Keith on the bed covered in a sheet, "Killian please!" She reached over for his hand.

Killian jerked away from here putting his back to the wall. "No! I gave up seeing my family for you, did anything I could to make you happy and this is how you repay me?"

"Killian please!" She reached for him again. "I love you."

"No, you bloody don't Milah! You never bloody did!" Killian took a deep breath. "Milah were done. You need to get out of my house, now."

"This is our house." She sneered.

"No, it bloody well isn't this is my house. My name is on the mortgage and mine alone. Take what you can tonight, and you will get the rest of your belongings later. He has a truck, so get moving."

Keith had gotten dressed without either of them noticing. "Milah," Both Milah and Killian looked over at him. "Tell me what to load and let's go love."

Milah nodded and turned to get dressed. Killian left the bedroom to the kitchen and poured himself a very stiff drink. He waited in the kitchen while Keith and Milah loaded a good portion of her belongings, only missing a few pieces of furniture that she would need to grab either tomorrow or next week.

By the time they were done loading it was almost 5:00 in the morning. Killian was sitting at the table with his head in his hands and rum in front of him. Milah approached the table and Killian looked up at her.

"I'm leaving now." She said softly.

Killian nodded turning back to his drink.

"Look, I just want to say…"

Killian held up his hand stopping her "Don't. Just leave."

Milah nodded at him and turned to leave. Before leaving she turned back to him, "Killian, no matter what you believe, I really did love you."

Without another word Milah shut the door behind her.

Killian threw the bottle of rum again the wall in anger and it shattered. He was too drunk to drive now, he knew that, but he couldn't stay here. He texted the one person he knew he could count on.

Killian: Hey love. I know it's the wee hours in the morning. But if you are up please let me know.

About five minutes later Killian's text tone went off.

Emma: Hey you :) I am up actually. Whats up? Are you ok?

Killian: Can you come get me? I'll explain when you get here.

Emma: Absolutely! Give me a minute to slip some shoes on and I will be right there. Text me your address.

Killian: 910 Maple Street. Thank you love.

Killian put his phone down and sat on the front porch and waited.

Emma was worried. It wasn't like Killian to do this even before. She drove to his house in about 10 minutes. When she pulled up he was sitting on the porch, looking extremely distraught. That didn't help her nerves any. Did he change his mind about the? Fear started to seep its way into Emma's heart.

Taking a deep breath, she got out of her car. With the slam of her car door, Kilian's head popped up and his eyes met hers. She was wearing black yoga pants and an oversize sweatshirt that once was his. Her hair was up in a ponytail and her makeup had been removed. In his eyes, she was still the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"Hey you." She said with a soft smile. His eyes were red with liquor and tears. Something definitely happened.

What Killian did next surprised her. He ran down his front yard and grabbed her into a tight hug, burying his face into her neck. He was hyperventilating. She clung him back tightly, stroking his hair. For whatever reason, he needed this and she was not going to deny him.

"Hey, hey just breathe," she cooed in his ear. "Killian its ok. Tell me what happened."

Killian took a step back and tried to calm his breathing. "Milah…" he sputtered, "Milah…"

Here it comes Emma thought. "Milah what? Its ok, you can tell me."

He took another deep breath. "For the last year, Milah has been having an affair with Keith Nottingham."

"What?!"

Killian nodded, "Can we go back to Liam's? I would only like to tell this story once and I can't stay here."

"Of, course!" Emma gave him a soft smile and took his hand. "Come on."

The both got into Emma's car and started back to Liam and Elsa's house, and Killian didn't let go of her hand the entire way there.

When they pulled up to the house, it was close to 6:30 in the morning. Emma had called Elsa on their way back, making sure they would be awake. They got out of the car Emma let her father know where she was and came around to go inside. As soon as they were close enough, Killian clasped her hand in his again. Emma took it as a good sign but was still terrified that she was about to lose him again.

Emma opened the front door for him and Liam approached quickly.

"Killian you look like hell, what happened?" Liam asked, concern lacing his tone.

"That's awfully rude brother." Killian attempted to joke. "Would you mind terribly if I borrowed your shower? I will explain everything after."

"Of course, lad. Let me grab you some comfortable clothes and a towel."

Killian looked at Emma with a fear in his eyes and she knew what he was trying to say without him needed to say it.

"Don't worry," She said squeezing his hand. "I'll still be here when you get out."

Killian nodded and headed for the bathroom.

"Come on Em," Elsa took her hand. "Come help me with breakfast."

Emma nodded and followed her sister into the kitchen. She poured herself a large cup of coffee and helped Elsa with the eggs and bacon. Liam reentered the kitchen and stood with arms crossed looking at Emma.

"Well?" He asked

"Well what?" She answered feigning innocence.

"What happened with you two?"

"Nothing."

"I call bullshit," Elsa interjected. "That was a shift from last night, A shift to how you used to be."

"Yeah well, after the bar we went for a bike ride to the coast. Then we talked."

"You talked?" Liam echoed.

Oh Jesus Christ. Emma thought. Was there no secrecy is this family?

As she worked alongside Elsa, she told them the entire story of what happened after the bar and what they talked about. Liam and Elsa looked so happy they were going to burst.

"I don't know if you should be so happy." Emma continued. "You didn't see how distraught he was when I picked him up. He told me he was going to end things with Milah."

"Aye, and I did." Killian's voice sounded. All three heads turned and saw him standing at the edge of the kitchen, arms crossed. "It just didn't happen the way I had planned it would."

Emma smiled at him, and it lit up the whole room. He kept to his word and he chose her, over everyone else. Killian smiled at her, feeling better now that he was in her presence. He spotted two mugs on the counter, on coffee just how he liked it.

"Is one of those coffees for me, Love?" Killian asked with a smile.

Emma nodded and made her way through the kitchen. He handed him his coffee and kissed him on his cheek. Killian smiled down at her and their eyes locked for a moment, and she could see the affection and something deeper for her in her eyes.

"Well let's eat." Liam interrupted the moment. "You can tell us all about what happened."

The two couples sat down to breakfast and Killian dove into his story. He explained the strange vehicle, sneaking into his house and the realization he came across. As Killian looked up he saw 3 sets of angry eyes, the angriest of them all being Emma.

"So, I told her to pack her things and leave. After she left that's when I texted Emma to come get me."

"Killian, I'm so sorry." Emma whispered and took his hand.

"Aye. I am too little brother. I always had a feeling she was bad news." Liam conquered.

"What a fucking bitch." Elsa blurted out.

All of them looked at Elsa and she just shrugged. Emma laughed and shook her head.

"How are you feeling?" Liam asked Killian while passing him the coffee pot. "With all of this?"

Killian poured himself more coffee and took a deep breath, "I am hurt, it's kind of hard not to be after being together that long." He took a sip of coffee. "But, to be honest Liam? I am relieved, that it wasn't my imagination that something wasn't right." He looked at Emma and smiled. "I know I made the right choice."

Emma smiled at him and looked down, knowing her face was turning red.

"Well tell you what?' Elsa said. "Liam and I will clean up; you guys take a nap. You've had a late night."

"Later we'll go out on the boat." Liam interjected. "Sound good?"

"Yes! I haven't been on the boat in years!" Emma exclaimed. Everyone laughed at her.

"Aye brother sounds good." Killian said. "We'll see you in a few hours."

Killian and Emma took their plates to the sink and then walked hand in hand to the guest bedroom in the basement. As soon as they were in the room and the door was shut, Killian hauled Emma into his arms.

"Oh Killian." She whispered clinging to him tightly. "I'm so sorry."

"It's alright love." Killian pulled back and put her face in his hands. "But, I need you to understand something."

"Ok." Emma nodded.

"I am hurt yes. But I need you to understand that I don't regret our kiss this morning or my choice. I choose you my darling. This discovery is just a solidification in my choice."

Emma smiled and leaned forward to kiss him softly. Killian pulled her back in his arms and picked her up, laying her softly on the mattress. Emma laid on her left side, and Killian on his right facing her. They stared in each other's eyes as Killian ran his hand up and down her arm, relishing the feel of her.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Emma asked quietly.

"Just how beautiful you are." Killian kissed her softly. "And how much I missed you."

"I missed you too." Emma started to run her finger nails softly up and down his chest.

Killian groaned, "Emma if you keep that up I shall have to ravish you."

Emma laughed and laid her hand flat. "Neither of us have had enough sleep for that."

"Aye love." Killian laid down flat and pulled her to his chest. Emma laid down and placed her head on his chest snuggling down.

"I forgot how warm you are." Emma mused.

Killian laughed a low chuckle and tightened his arms around her. "It's nice to have you back where you belong."

"Nice to be back." She mumbled sleepily, snuggling in further.

Killian kissed the top of her head, "Sleep sweet my love."

He watched her for a moment as her breathing evened out and she drifted off into slumber. Emma was laying on his chest and her golden locks were strung out around them. Her leg was between his and she was clinging on to him for dear life. Killian pushed a lock of hair out of her eyes and smiled.

He covered them with the blanket and put his head on top of hers, finding sleep quickly.

It was the best rest they both have had in a very long time.
