Chapter 10- Rebel

The Rabbit Hole was alive as always, the usual people there. Robin and Will tended the bar and August worked the door while Killian, Liam, Jefferson, and Sean played darts. Emma, Regina Ruby, Elsa and Ashley sat together at a nearby table watching the boys play.

"Thanks you guys for coming to my hearing." Emma said with a smile.

"Always, girl." Regina nodded.

"That's why we're here." Ruby interjected.

"Walsh better watch his ass." Elsa growled.

"I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it." Ashley said sheepishly. "The baby wasn't agreeing with me."

"Ash, its ok." Emma smiled and grabbed her friends hand. "You didn't want to see that trust me."

"Yeah, Walsh deserves to be punched in the face." Regina growled, "But at least now you are free."

"It calls from a celebration!" Ruby jumped up from her chair. "I will go get the shots!"

"Does she ever not get the shots?" Regina groaned. Emma laughed into her drink.

Ruby came bounding back a few moments later, tray of shots in hand. "BOYS!" She called over to the men, "Pause your game and come here.!"

The four men trudged over to the table, eyeing the tray that Ruby had. Killian came up behind Emma and placed a kiss on top of her head.

"Shots already Ruby?" Liam asked incredulously

"Yes."

"We've only been here twenty minutes." Killian groaned.

"I don't care you bunch of babies! Were going to make a toast so deal with it." Ruby passed the shots out to all of their group. "A toast!" she proclaimed looking at them, "To Emma finally being free of Walsh! We officially have our girl back!"

The glasses clinked together as everyone cheered and Emma smiled brightly. Even with how horrible the day had been, she knew that this group of people she could always count on to cheer her up, and be in her corner when she needed them. They were her second family, and she loved all of them dearly.

Killian kissed Emma soundly and the boys returned to their game of darts, and the girls went to dance. The conversation between the boys was light, and Robin joined them. Killian was lining up his shot, when Robin spoke up.

"So mate, have you asked her yet?"

Killian released the dart, hitting the bullseye. "Have I asked her what?"

"Have you asked her to move in with you?"

Robins response shocked Killian to the point he missed the dart board completely, making the rest of his friends laugh. He turned to Robin, glaring daggers at him.

"How did you bloody know about that?"

"Guilty." Jefferson said, stepping up to take his shot.

"Bloody hell, is nothing sacred?"

"Not with family." Liam added.

"Stop avoiding," Robin crossed his arms across his chest at his best friend. "Have you asked her?"

"No mate, I haven't bloody well asked her."

"And why not?" Jefferson asked

"Well if you haven't noticed, Emma has had a bit on her plate." Killian droned sarcastically. "I don't want to overwhelm her."

"Did you think that it may be what she wants too, Little brother?" Liam questioned.

"I don't know. We haven't been back together that long."

"Aye." Robin agreed, "And what does your heart tell you."

Killian took a large drink of his rum before answering."That we have already lost too much time."

"There you go then." Jefferson smiled.

Emma was taking a break from dancing and was heading off of the dance floor when she felt someone shoulder check her hard, almost knocking her on her ass. She spun around to see who it was. Dark curly brown hair was walking away from her; Emma didn't need to see her face to know exactly who that was.
"Hey!" Emma shouted, liquid courage coursing through her veins, "Most people say excuse me when they run into someone!"

The dark haired girl turned around and grey eyes mixed with green. She wasn't all that in Emma's opinion her face set in a scowl. For the first time, Milah and Emma met face to face.

As if this day couldn't get any worse.

"Oh I'm so sorry princess." Milah sneered.

"Don't call me that." Emma growled.

"Why not? Isn't that what you are?" Milah gave Emma a once over and her eyes darkened in rage. "No your a thief, just stealing things that don't belong to you."

Emma crossed her arms and steeled her gaze on Milah. "Can't steal something that didn't want to be taken."

"Excuse me bitch?!"

"Killian.." Jefferson said grabbing his arm. Killian turned and looked on the dance floor at the scene unfolding.

"Oh shit."

"Yeah, you fucking heard me." Emma continued. "We only broke up because of a miscommunication. He is my one, and I am his."

"Miscommunication my ass." Milah sneered. "I kept him on track, I kept him sober."

"Yeah and you kept him from his family and isolated him."

Killian made his way to the dance floor, close enough to hear but not to be seen.

"I needed to keep him in line. He was going to be my husband and we were going to be happy."

Emma's eyes darkened in anger, "Killian is so much better than that. He is sweet, and understanding. He has a tough exterior but he is the most amazing person I have ever met and I love him. You messed up Milah, not him."

"I was the best thing that ever happened to him, He walked away from you and chose me."

"And you thanked him by fucking some guy in his bed, in his house. You never loved him Milah, and I was the one who was there to pick up the pieces."

"Fuck you, you stupid fucking cunt! I will fucking kill you and take Killian back for myself."

Emma dropped her arms and balled her fists and gave Milah a mischievous smile, "Hit me with your best shot baby."

Milah threw her drink and swung her right fist at Emma. Emma ducked as Milahs fist swung over her head. She stood back up and smirked at Milah, "That the best you got?"

Milah growled in anger and swung left and then right again. Emma blocked both, using self defense moves Killian had taught her. Emma turned and swung her right fist, connecting with Milah's jaw knocking her back on her ass. Killian watched quietly, pride pulsing through him. It's a good thing Robin owned the bar, or they would be in serious trouble.

Milah swung her leg behind Emma's knee taking her down. She climbed on top of Emma, swung and hit her jaw then attempted to choke her. Emma struggled for a moment, pushed down on Milah's arms and headbutt her, locking their legs together and rolling them over. Emma punched her once, twice, three times. She went to swing again and felt arms come around her waist. Emma looked up and saw Killian behind her and relaxed, letting her be pulled off of Milah. Robin and Will got Milah up and Emma wiped the blood off of her face.

"I'm warning you Milah," Emma said in a low, warning tone. "You ever come after him again, next time you won't get up."

Milah spit blood at Emma's feet. "Bring it."

"Come on Milah." Robin said exasperated. "You are 86ed."

"Me?!" Milah screeched. "What about Emma?"

"You threw the first punch. Em was just defending herself."

"This isn't over! Do you have any idea who my parents are?!"

"Aye, and as the owner as this establishment,I don't bloody care."

Keith followed Robin and Will as they drug Milah out, glaring at Killian the whole way. Killian grabbed Emma's hand and pulled her to the unisex bathroom. He set her up on the counter and ran a paper towel under cold water, cleaning the blood on her hands.

"Well my love, would you like to tell me what that was all about?"

Emma shrugged, "She pissed me off."

Killian raised an eyebrow and shook his head, still cleaning the blood off her hands. "Aye, I can see that."

"How much of the conversation did you over hear?"

"I came in soon enough to her you tell her she kept me from my family."

"Well She did."

"Aye darling, I know she did." Killian started wiping the blood on her face. "But, I am bloody proud of you for not backing down. She seems to think she can go around bullying people."

Emma placed her hands on either side of Killians face forcing him to look at her. "Killian, you are my man. I almost lost you once, and I'll be damned if I lose you again especially to that twat." Killian chucked and kissed her on the forehead. "Seriously babe, do you not realize there is nothing I would do for you?"

Killian smiled at her lovingly and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, "Aye, I know. You are so strong, my darling Swan."

Emma leaned up and kissed him softly, "Can we go home now? I have a headache."

Killian laughed and picked her up off the counter and kissed her soundly. "I should imagine so, the way you head butted her like that."

Emma shrugged, "I have a brother what can I say?"

They walked hand in hand through the bar, saying goodbye to their friends, many of them telling her good job. She took one last shot for her throbbing head, and walked with Killian with his arm over her shoulder to the parking lot in the back of the bar. She had her hand up the back of his shirt, drawing circles on his lower back.

Killian turned her and pinned her against the wall of the back of the building. "Darling," he growled. "If you don't stop that I shall have to take you home and ravish you."

Emma bit her lip and looked up at him, "Then take me home."

Killian took her face in his hands and kissed her soundly. The scrambled to Emma's car and Killian drove as fast as he could to his house, Emma scratching his thighs and kissing his neck the entire way. He would go get his jeep tomorrow.

Killian pulled in the driveway and threw the car into park. Emma got out and jumped into his arms, taking him by surprise but he caught her all the same. He carried her to the door as she bit and suckeled on his neck. Killian unlocked the door and kicked in closed with a surprising amount of force. He threw Emma's keys on the table and carried her up the stairs to his room, her ministrations continuing the whole way. He opened the door to his bedroom and set her down gently, feeling every inch of her pressed against him.

"Emma," Killian growled against her neck, "Do you have any idea what you do to me?"

He started to kiss and suckle her neck, Emma's head fell back and she held his head in place, wrapping her hands in his hair.

"No," She gasped out, "Tell me."

Killian pushed her jacket off of her shoulders, and wrapped his hand in her hair, His tongue tracing down from her earlobe to her collarbone sending shivers down her spine all the way to her toes. "You make me thirst for you, wanting you every second of every day." He slowly slipped his hands under her shirt, feeling every inch of bare skin under his finger tips. "You haunt my every thought." Killian slipped her shirt over her head and picked her up, laying her down on the bed. "You are the air I breathe Swan." He kissed her neck, softly and sultry moving down to her collarbone, down her sternum. Emma gasped and ran her hands through his hair, arching into his touch. Killian kissing down her sternum, his hands running up her sides to her breasts, massaging and playing.

"Oh, Killian." Emma gasped.

Killian stopped kissing her sternum and looked up at her, "What is it Swan?" his hands still working on her.

"Please." She gasped out.

Killian groaned and ran his hands down to her pants and pushed them down, his passion and need for her overtaking him. Emma sat up quickly and grabbed Killian and pulled him to her and unbuttoned his pants quickly and tore his shirt open, buttons flying everywhere. He growled and grabbed Emma my her waist, lifting her up and lifting them onto the bed. Emma reached between them and grabbed him and started pumping him in her hand. Killian thrust forward and entered her warm silky warmth, causing her to cry out. He set a slow place, entering her fully. Emma wrapped her legs around his waist causing him to go deeper.

"Fuck," Killian groaned.

"Babe, faster." She gasped.

He grabbed her hips and set a quicker pace, causing them to snap together. In a few moments Emma was falling apart underneath him and Killian followed her over the edge a few moments later, collapsing on top of her, catching himself on his forearms.

Emma hummed happily and leaned up to kiss his chin. "I love you."

Killian smiled down at her and kissed her forehead. "I love you Swan."

He lifted himself off of her and the couple continued to get ready for bed. Emma put on one of Killian's t-shirts and put on a movie as he brushed his teeth. Killian came out of the bathroom and watched Emma from the doorway. The way her golden hair flowed down her back in his navy t-shirt, the way she moved around the room like she was home. He loved her so much, and was absolutely terrified about asking her to move in with him but he was ready to take that next step.

Emma looked up at him and smiled. "You coming to bed?"

"Aye love, did you need to use the restroom for anything?"

"Oh shit, yeah. I forgot to brush my teeth."

Killian stepped aside and kissed her forehead. "Join me in bed as soon as you are done?"

"Count on it pirate."

Killian pulled down the comforter and settled in as Emma did her nightly routine. She shut all the lights off as she made her way to the far side of the bed dubbed "her side". Everything between them was so comfortable and so domestic. She had loved his man from the time she was 15 years old, and even through her marriage it never faded, maybe it had grown even stronger. Emma wanted to ask Killian about moving in, but this was his house and she would wait until he was ready. She pulled back the blanket on her side of the bed and crawled in. Killian pulled her to his chest and Emma laid her head down over his heart. He traced lazy circles on her lower back, trying to bring up the courage to to ask her what he has been wanting to for weeks now.

"We should move in together." Emma mumbled half asleep.

Killian froze and looked down at his blonde love on his chest. "What?"

Emma's eyes snapped open as she realized what she had just said. Oh shit, she she sat up and looked Killian in the eyes. "I've been thinking about it for a while.." She started to say slowly. "I'm over here all the time anyway and I missed out on four years with you, I don't want to miss anymore. I know it's scary but sometimes you have to take the first step and hope you don't get hit by a bus."

Killian grabbed her and pulled her up into his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Emma, I have been wanting you to move in here for weeks now. I just didn't want to push you if you weren't ready my love." He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "But I would love for you to move in with me. We can even find a different house if you like."

Emma grinned from ear to ear, and put her arms around his neck. "No, I like this house and I feel like we have made it our own, scrubbing out the past and now looking forward to the future."

He leaned forward and kissed her softly, "I love you Em. We will get your things tomorrow, aye?"

Emma nodded and smiled. "Ok. Can we go to sleep now?"

Killian laughed as he laid down and pulled Emma to his chest. His heart was full and he looked down at the blonde sleeping on his chest, he knew that he was looking at his future.

He truly couldn't wait to see what it would bring.
