Chapter 20: The Calls

Hey everyone! Second update of the day, yay!

Here's an update you all should have gotten a month ago... hehehe...

May wanna reread the last chapter. Sorry about that...

Writer's P.O.V:

It'd been a month since Killian left for Venice and Emma was missing him like crazy. She overexherted herself, constantly occupying her mind with matters of the bar or helping Liam out at the police station.

"No! No, Tess the red wine goes on the bottom shelf, what are you-?!"

"But, Miss Swan, it's always gone on the top shelf..."

"Well not anymore! Do you see any red wine on the top shelf right now?!"

"N-no..."

"That's all I have to say," Emma replied, stressed out. Liam had been watching her, amused, from the counter.

"Emma come on, out with it," Liam said as Emma came around the counter annoyed.

"What?" She snapped.

"Why are you being like this?" Liam asked her

"Like what?" Emma challenged, raising an eyebrow.

"You're being like... like a controling dragon or something. Ease up a bit," Liam suggested. Emma remaines quiet, not answering him.

She averted her eyes from his, walking slowly into the staff room.

"Tess?"

"Y-yes Miss Swan?" The poor girl asked, terrified.

"Please, call me Emma. I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier... I'm just Killian a whole lot right now and I'm having a tough time dealing with it..."

Tess's face softened and she approached Emma. "Need a girl hug?" She asked.

Emma nodded, accepting the young woman's comfort.

"Wanna talk?"

"... am I a dragon?" Emma asked.

"What?" Tess asked with a laugh.

"Am I... am I a control freak dragon?"

Tess laughed again. "Emma the whole staff knows you miss Killian and sometimes you put on a scary face is all. You're no dragon, promise. I think you just need a girl around to talk to since all you've really got is Liam."

Emma laughed along with Tess, wiping away stray tears.

"How about this. Tonight, you, me, and Lacy are gonna have a girls night at my place. We can talk, watch sappy movies, do our nails, all that," Tess suggested.

"I'd like that a lot," Emma answered with a smile.

In her pocket, Emma's phone went off loud and clear. She pulled it out of her pocket and eyed the number on the screen.

Her face fell grim.

"Sorry T, I've gotta take this. But we're on for tonight!"

With that, Emma rushed out of the bar and into a quiet alley.

"Hello?" Emma answered.

"Emma, I found him. I finally found him. But you can't swe him, not for another two years."

"You found my son?" Emma asked in awe. "Wait why do I have to wait two years, how can I even trust you when you refuse to tell me your name?"

"Emma you can't meet him till your 28th birthday, just trust me. Consider me your guardian angel. And if it means that much to you, my name is August, August Booth."
