Teach Me To Love Part II

Chapter 8 Off The Radar

Killian POV

I sat at home on the couch and stared at the half empty bottle of Captain Morgan. How the hell could I be so stupid? Why didn't I just tell her from the beginning that Milah was my wife. I wished she would have just let me explain that the only reason we weren't divorced was because Milah wouldn't sign the papers but she was so angry. Rightfully so. The doorbell rang. Part of me hoped it was Kassidy but the other part of me didn't want her to see me like this. I got up and dragged myself to the door and opened it. It was David.

"Is Kassidy here? She's not answering her phone." He said.

"No, mate she's not here." I said.

"Are you drunk??" David asked and walked into my house.

"No." I said. "Unfortunately not." I said. David looked at the bottle of Captain Morgan on the coffee table.

"Where is Kassidy?" He asked.

"I don't know, David. We got into a fight."

"You don't know? The mother of your children is MISSING and you are sitting here drinking." He said. "What the hell happened?"

"I really fucked up." I said and sat down.

"I'm going to need some context before I kick your ass." David said.

"I never told her that I'm married." I said.

"You're married?!" David demanded.

"Separated, actually but still legally married." I sighed. David grabbed me by the shirt and pulled me off of the couch slamming me into the door. I didn't care, I fucking deserved it.

"I'm going to go look for her and I swear to God, if she's hurt, or if anything has happened to her, I'm coming back here and I'm going to kill you. So you better hope and pray that she is okay and you better sober the hell up and fix this!" He said and released me and shoved me out of the way before leaving I walked back over to the coffee table and picked up the bottle of rum and threw it at the wall.

Kassidy POV

I sat on the hill, just outside of Storybrooke looking down at the town. Graham sat down beside me with the bag of food I had asked him to pick up on the way here.

"So...you really are pregnant?" He asked, it was pretty much the only thing he had managed to get out of me on the way here.

"Yeah.." I mumbled and reached into the bag and grabbed a taco and unwrapped it. "You don't think any less of me do you?" I asked.

"No. Of course not Kass.." Graham said. "Do you want to tell me who the father is?" He asked.

"Its not important, just a summer fling. Its over now." I said tears stung my eyes.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"No." I said and bit into the taco.

"You don't have to worry you know, I'm not going to tell anyone you are pregnant." He said.

"I know you wont, Graham." I said. I looked down at my phone at the 20th missed call from David.

"Whoever that is, is going to kill you when they find you." He said.

"Its Emma's dad. I've lived with them since..my Dad.." I said. "And yeah, Hes probably going to kill me. Hes a worrier." I said and finished my taco and threw the wrapper in the bag.

"You can have mine if you are still hungry." Graham said.

"No, thanks though." I said and pulled my knees up and tucked them under my chin. Graham sat closer to me.

"How far along are you?" He asked.

"A little over 7 weeks. and before you ask, its twins." I said and smiled.

"Wow. Two babies." He said

"Yeah." I said. Two babies that I am going to have to raise on my own because their father is a lying son of a bitch

"Do you know the gender yet?" He asked.

"No, I wont find that out until around the 20th week." I said.

"I'm sorry.. that was a stupid question I just don't know what you want to talk about." He said.

"Its okay Graham really.." I said and smiled at him. "Thank you. for doing this. I just needed to get away." I said.

"Anytime. It wouldn't be the first time you ran away with me." He said and smirked.

"Graham we were 6 and we were running away to the north pole to find Santa Claus." I laughed at the memory.

"Our parents were so mad." He said and laughed.

"Yeah. they were." I said. I would have given anything at this moment for my Dad to come screaming up this Hill about how I was grounded for life for not answering his calls, and my mother to be behind him telling him to calm down. Graham wiped a way the tear that was falling down my cheek with his thumb.

"Are you ready to go home?" He asked. I shook my head. "No.. but I should, I'm tired these little blobs keep me that way." I said and chuckled.

"Well, you can sleep in the back of the car if you want. I'll watch over you." He said.

"You don't have to do that." I said.

"Kassidy just go take a nap in the damn car and don't be so stubborn." He said. I smirked.

"Fine." I said and went to the car. He opened the trunk and handed me a blanket. It smelled smoky, like Campfire and made me think of when our parents would take us camping I smiled and curled into the blanket He slid into the back seat beside me and I didn't even really think twice about leaning against him as a pillow. He put his arm around my shoulder and I felt safe, and comfortable as I drifted to sleep.

Killian POV

I opened my desk and pulled out my bottle of Excedrin and popped a couple. I should have called in, I was hungover as hell and my senior class was going to start in 10 minutes.

"Killian.." Emma said and walked in.

"Yes Emma?" I asked and looked up at her. "How is Kassidy?" I asked.

"I wouldn't know. She never came home last night." Emma said and folded her arms across her chest and glared at me.

 Nothing like hearing that the mother of your children and the love of your life is only God knows where to sober your ass up really quick.

"What??" I asked.

"How could you do this to her Killian?" Emma asked.

I sighed. "Has anyone tried to call her? Checked her credit card to see if she's used it anywhere? Called hotels in New York?" I asked.

"Yeah. Dad did all of that last night. She kind of went off the grid." Emma said. "Oh. and he is ready to kill you, so be prepared for that."

"I deserve worse." I said and put my head in my hands.

"Yeah. you do." Emma said and left the classroom. I pulled out my phone and sent Kassidy a quick text

Me:

I know you will never forgive me. But I need to know that you, and my babies are safe.

No answer. I sighed and threw my phone back into my desk.

"Knock knock.."

I looked up and had never wanted to strangle someone so much in my life.

"Milah." I said.
