At the Bar

Chapter 22 Name

"Well we have to tell them," Lacey says. Ruby sighs, and looks at Graham, "She has a point we kind of have to here," he says. "Well..." Ruby shakes her head. "You know we can't just not tell them all, and he's a cop, we have to tell him," Graham said. "What about Killian and Regina?" Ruby asks, "We should tell them too, especially Killian, with the baby on the way," Graham said. "I hate when he's right," Ruby sighs. "It's the best thing," Lacey assures. 

Regina and Killian enter the bar, "Sorry we're late," Regina smiles. "What are you up to? The kids look guilty," Killian said. The other three roll their eyes, "He's right, I think you all look like you're hiding something," Regina says. "Ok, we have a little problem," Ruby admits. "Don't tell me you got pregnant too?" Regina jokes. 

"I would hope not," Lacey looks at her, Ruby shakes her head, "No, I.. found something on the floor when we were cleaning up, a license, probably fell off the person who beat up Elliot," Ruby said. "Ok, why do I get a bad feeling we know the person?" Regina asks, "Because we do," Ruby nods. 

"What the actual hell is he doing here?" Regina scoffs, "I don't know, don't you know him the best?" Ruby asks, Regina glares at her, "Ok sorry," Ruby sighs. "Killian?" Regina asks, "Well, I say we tell the officer, and we make sure Elliot is ok," Killian said. "Speaking of," Graham nods. Elliot enters the bar, "What are you doing here? I told you to take a week," Regina said. "All do respect, I'm feeling okay, and I'm good to work," Elliot smiles. 

The others look at each other, and subtly head into the office. "Get his phone, and get David's number," Regina instructs, "You want us to steal Elliot's phone?" Ruby asks, "Oh stop acting like you haven't wanted an excuse to feel his pants," Graham teases. "I'll do it," Lacey offers. "Unfair!" Ruby gasps. Lacey winks. "The kids are growing up," Killian says. 

The others head out leaving Regina, and Killian, "You are not calling who I think are you?" Killian asks, "He's a snake, but he can help with this, he always finds things when we need him to," Regina said. "He's an annoying little imp Regina," Killian said. "Well, he's the reason we have this bar, remember?" Regina asks, "I know, I know, he loaned you money, because he knew your father," Killian said. "It's more.. complicated than that," Regina said.

"What?" Killian asks, "He knew my mother better than my father," Regina admits and picks up the phone before Killian can get another word out. "We'll talk about it later, let's handle this, Elliot, and this evil twin," Regina said. "Woah woah, you can't just leave it like that, what do you mean knew your mum better than your father?" Killian asks. "It's .. complicated, and I.... Killian, not now," Regina sighs. "Is it bad?" Killian asks, "Not really, no," Regina shakes her head. 

"Ok," he gives her a smile and heads out to the bar. "So?" Ruby sidles up to Killian, "What?" he asks, "What are we doing about Elliot?" Ruby asks, "You and Lacey work your moves and get the phone, so we can call David," Killian said. "Ok, here, side note," Lacey comes up them, and hands Killian a small book, "Baby names, a book of them?" Killian asks, "Yeah tells you all the meanings and where they came from," Lacey said. 

Regina sits on the back of the bar, and the day gets going, "Ashton, Ashley, Annette, Ailey, Anna," she reads, "Mmm, no," Killian said. Hours pass by, "Laura, Linnie, Laney," Regina continues. "No," Killian sighs. "We are literally up to M and you haven't liked a single name," Regina said. "Well first of all, we don't know what the baby is going to be," Killian said. "Ok, well let's assume it's a girl," Regina smiles.

"Great, two of you? Good thing I work in a bar," Killian jokes. "Oh come on, you would love a little girl," Regina said. "Of course I would, I would love our child deeply, be madly in love with them," he smiles cutely at her, "You just know that a girl would get her way with you ALL the time, you sucker," Regina said. "Mmm, you think you get your way all the time?" Killian asks.

"Of course she does," Ruby interrupts, "What? You are not in our relationship," Killian scolds, "Oh please, you treat her like a Queen," Ruby laughs. "She kinda is right," Regina says. Killian grumbles to them, "Why is that bad?" Regina smiles playfully, "It's not, I just don't like being perceived as a whipped man," he said. "You aren't whipped, you just like to make me happy," Regina said. "True, and you are with child," He said. 

"Did you call your father?" Regina asks, "Oh bloody hell, I thought we moved on from that," Killian said. "No," Regina shakes her head. "Well now you have to inform me the deal of this Gold thing, and how he knows your mother," Killian said. "Ugh, you didn't forget," Regina mopes. "How would I forget in ten minutes? I'm not 300," Killian says. 

"Ok fine, tonight we discuss it, oh David?" Regina asks, as she sees him sit down at the bar, "Hi," he answers. "Oh I didn't expect you to come in, you didn't tell me," Elliot comes up to him, "I ... wanted to surprise you," he softly smiles. Regina looks at him a moment, and tilts her head. 

Killian does the same, "Uhh, Regina, why don't you go get Ruby to help you with that bottle of wine, I needed," Killian hints her to go. She heads off, and drags Ruby with her, "Did you get his phone?" She asks quickly, "Yeah but he's here," Ruby said. "I.... don't think so," Regina shakes her head. 

"What? James?" Ruby looks quickly, as Regina dials the phone, "Ringing," She says. Ruby and Regina look at 'David' at the bar, and his phone isn't ringing, they look at each other, Killian looks over from the bar, and Regina nods to him. 

"Shit, what do we do?" Ruby asks, "Well don't panic, the guys aren't going to let anything happen, Oh David," he's answered, "We need you to get down here, your other half is here," Regina said.
