"Sorry it's just crazy the resemblance," Regina said. "Yeah that's a .. twin thing," David said. "Don't worry about it mate," Killian places a drink in front of him. "I umm, just came to see Elliot's job," David said. "Oh don't worry, it's fine," Regina shakes her head. "Yeah she's with me, and pregnant, and you're not him, so it's ok," Killian adds.

"I hate him," David blurts out. "Who? Your brother?" Killian asks, "yeah, asshole ditched me when I came out," David shrugs. "Ah, I see, on the house," Killian refills his glass. "Thanks," David gives him a nod. "Listen, we all have some shitty family history, that's why the 6 of us here have made ourselves into a family," Killian said.

"Elliot was telling me that, that's great," David said. "Yeah, well the family is going to get bigger," Regina smiles proudly walking over, "Oh?" David asks, "Killian and I are having a baby," Regina smiles. "Oh! Congratulations!" David beams at them, "Can I take a quick break Regina?" Elliot comes up to them, placing a hand on David's shoulder. "Sure," Regina nods, and David grins as he follows Elliot out back.

"Aww, they're cute, what should we call them?" Ruby asks, "What?" Regina asks, "Well we name every couple," Ruby shrugs. "Sorry what?" Killian asks, "Like a ship name," Ruby said. "Like TV?" Killian asks. "Oh it's like that show we watched on Netflix, what's the ship Captain something?" Killian asks, "That toxic crap?" Regina asks, "I was just going for example love," Killian smirks.

"Yeah, like that, you guys have a name," Ruby said, "Do I want to know what you call us?" Regina asks, "Please don't say Mummy and Daddy," Killian laughs. "No, we call you BarBoss," Ruby said. "Bar-Boss?" Regina asks, "Yeah, he's the bartender, you're the boss, it works," Ruby said. "You had five bloody years to name it and that's what you came up with?" Killian asks, "What are you and Lacey?" Killian asks.

"HOT," Graham comes over, "Their 'ship' name," Killian quotes. "It's RubyCue," Ruby smiles. Regina and the others look at her funny, "You know like Cue ball?" Ruby asks. "Wow, so this is a thing huh? I want a new one for us," Killian says. "Aww, you just don't like it because it signifies me as the boss," Regina said. "Oh please, I am not THAT old fashioned, I just think we could have something a little cuter, more romantic," He said.

Out back

"Sorry about my brother, he clearly upset a lot of people in here," David said. "Oh hey, it's just a small world, you said you didn't even talk anymore anyway, so how would you even know?" Elliot asks. "Yeah we can't all see the future like you," David laughs. Elliot grins at him, "I appreciate you coming in, you're welcome to come anytime," Elliot said. "How bad was my brother to Regina?" David asks, "Uhh, I don't have every detail, but pretty bad," Elliot says. "Well I'm nothing like him," David assures, "I know that," Elliot nods. "Where is he?" Elliot asks, "James? I'm not sure, not here, he went East years ago, last address I had was somewhere in Chicago," David said. "I'll let you get back to work," David said.

Elliot and he cutely kiss, "You can come in here anytime," Elliot said. "I may, I know how to always find you now," David smiles and heads out. Elliot watches David kindly wave at the others and head out. "Ok he's dreamy, I'm kinda jealous, he's not bi by any chance is he?" Ruby asks. "He's mine," Elliot smiles and heads off.

"I heard that," Lacey comes to her, "I was kidding Cue," Ruby smiled. "You know if we're roommates your wolf life may have to slow down," Lacey crosses her arms. Her hair is cutely curled to the side, over her black lace dress, "I think I can deal with that, you've been with guys too," Ruby points out. "True," Lacey shrugs. "No guys for either of us unless we agree on one," Ruby says. "Hmm, is that the start of a commitment?" Lacey asks. "Yeah, I guess so, you brought it out of me," Ruby smiles.

"How you doing?" Killian asks, "I'm fine, I'm not going to be traumatized seeing some twin of him, he's nothing like him," Regina said. "Well, we all have interesting family pasts," Killian said. "Yeah we going to talk about that?" Regina asks. "What do you mean?" Killian asks. "I know Killian Jones," Regina tilts her head.
"Say my name baby I love it," he winks. "Don't change the subject," Regina scolds. "You're one to talk, when's the last time you spoke to your mother?" He asks. "Could say the same about your father," Regina said. "Ok so?" Killian asks.

"So we're having a baby, maybe you should call him," Regina suggests, "and your mum?" He asks. Regina sighs. "You know how she is," Regina sighs. "Mm only a bit, because you don't talk about her," Killian said. "You don't talk about your Dad," Regina points out. "He's ... " Killian shakes his head and realizes his excuses are no better than Regina's.
"Fine, we call both together and can't we have them on our turf? Here?" He asks. "You just want access to drinks for the tension," Regina says, "exactly," Killian nods. "And what about me?" Regina asks, "well you can ice cream," Killian smiles. "I do love ice cream," Regina breathes, Killian cutely kisses her, "I know you do, that baby won't want to come out and miss all their ice cream," he smiles.

Late that night after work
"Wow, guess the boobs come in first trimester," Regina observes herself in the mirror as she puts on a satin nightgown. "Mmm nice," Killian smiles behind her, "I'm gonna have a little bump right here," Regina yearns, and Killian places his hand around her hip towards her stomach, his hand is huge and takes up most of it, and she holds his over it.

Next morning
Regina gets dressed as usual, and throws on necklaces, "ready?" She asks Killian, "you're not dressed," he says. "What?" She's confused, "something is missing," he stands back looking her up and down. "I'm fully dressed, are you just picturing me naked?" Regina asks. "Something like that," he smiled, "I think you're just missing an accessory," he says and takes out a small black box. Regina gasps.
