A/N: I want to thank everyone for the very entertaining reviews. Enjoy!
Eugenia had made her way to the boat and was now on the lookout for Anton. She spotted him standing by the rails monitoring his radio.
She rushed over to him, "You have to get to the beach. It's Regina!"
"Don't tell me Regina is missing now too!" He said to her.
"No, she's on the beach with Ruby." Eugenia told him, "Ruby was talking crazy and I'm worried she did something to Emma."
She grabbed the giant's arm and was just about ready to drag him off the boat when she spotted Emma with Killian.
Killian and Emma came over to them.
"Where's Regina?" Emma asked Eugenia, "Where is she?"
"Where the hell have you been?" Anton asked, "We've looked all over this god damn boat and half the beach for you."
"I don't have time to talk now." Emma asked, "Where the fuck is Regina?!"
"She's on the beach with Ruby." Eugenia told her.
Emma, Killian and Anton headed for the walkway and Eugenia followed behind.
"I'm sorry ma'am but you need to stay on the boat." Anton told her.
"The hell I do." Eugenia said, "That's my friend down there with the little nutroll."
"We don't have time for this!" Emma said and they all continued.
Regina watched as Ruby got closer to her, "You won't stand in my way anymore."
Once she was close enough Regina did her best to kick Ruby as hard as she could at the back of the knee and sweep her legs out from under her.
Ruby fell hard on her back and knocked the wind out of her. Regina seized the moment and climbed on top of her and punched her as hard as she could in the face. There was a glimmer of shock on Ruby's face before she was knocked out.
Regina wanted to hit her again, the adrenaline in her told her to hit her again but instead she took in a deep breath, climbed off of her and grabbed Ruby's backpack.
She dug through it and grabbed the silver duct tape out of it. She used the sleeve of her shirt to wipe the blood from her face before going over to Ruby and flipping her unconscious body face down in the sand.
She pulled a long strip of tape from the roll then tied both Ruby's hands at the wrist behind her back.
"Crazy bitch." Regina muttered, "I took Tai Kwon Do for two god damn years."
Just as Regina stood up Anton and the rest of the group came running into the cave. They all came to an abrupt stop when they saw a bloody Regina standing over what seemed like a lifeless Ruby.
"She's not dead." Regina said to Anton.
Emma didn't hear anything as she practically knocked Regina over as she ran over to her and hugged her tight.
Killian went to check on his sister. He rolled Ruby over and cradled her head in his lap.
Anton radioed his team and let them know that they found Emma.
"She needs to get to medical." Killian said as he looked up at Anton.
"Alright let's go." Anton said then got down to pick up Ruby. Once she was in his arms he stood and told the rest of the group to follow him.
"Don't stop to talk to anyone." He said as they headed back to the boat, "We'll get this all sorted out in the infirmary."
People gave them strange looks when they got on the boat. Some passengers were trying to ask questions but Anton said everything was under control.
When they got down to the infirmary a nurse cut the tape off of Ruby's wrists and Dr. Whale went to check on her. The same nurse then went to look over Regina.
"So you want to tell me what the hell is going on Emma?" Anton asked her while she was watching Regina get examined.
"Emma I know you're worried about her but I need to know what happened." Anton said to her then stood in front of her, blocking her view of Regina.
Two members of Anton's security team came into the infirmary.
"Take him back to security and don't let him talk to anyone till I speak with him. Also take Eugenia here as well and keep the two separate." Anton said to one of the teammates, "And you, stay here and watch over Ruby."
He then took Emma by the arm and led her outside and into the hall, "Tell me."
Emma went through the whole story twice with Anton.
"I'm going to go talk to Killian now before Ruby wakes up." He said to Emma.
Before he could leave Emma caught him by the arm, "Look can you just put this down in your report somewhere?"
He waited for her.
"I don't think she needs to be in jail. No one was really hurt by what she did, everything turned out okay. So maybe instead of jail they can find a place for her that helps her mentally." Emma said to him.
"As much as I'd like to think any of this is up to me Emma, it's not." He told her, "When we get back to port the cops will be called and it will be up to them."
Emma sighed, "Okay."
"I'm sorry." He said to her and she gave him a nod before he headed to the security office.
Emma went into the infirmary and went straight over to Regina who was laying down on one of the beds as far away from Ruby as possible.
"How are you doing?" Emma asked her as she took Regina's hand in hers.
"Bruised ribs, two black eyes and scraped knuckles but the doctor thinks I'll live so there's that." Regina told her.
"I'm so sorry this happened." Emma said.
"You can't help how irresistible you are." Regina said to her.
That didn't even get a smile from Emma.
"Hey, it's not your fault. I don't blame you." She said as she gave Emma's hand a squeeze.
The swinging door to the infirmary flung open and David stood looking between Emma, Regina and Ruby who was being guarded.
"What in the hell happened?" He asked Emma, "Why is it you leave a path of destruction where ever you go?"
"Me?" Emma asked as she let go of Regina's hand, "This is all Ruby."
David looked over at Ruby who was still unconscious.
"And your boy toy who also happens to be her brother." Emma added.
David's head whipped around and looked at her, "What did Killian do?"
"Why don't you go ask him yourself?" Emma said, "He's in security."
David stormed out of the infirmary and Emma went back to holding Regina's hand.
"Do I have to stay here?" Regina asked Emma, "I really don't want to be here when she wakes up."
"Let me see what I can do." Emma said then went over to Dr. Whale.
A few minutes later Emma came back to Regina, "Let's get you out of here."
Emma helped Regina off the bed then grabbed two ice packs and a bottle of pain meds from Dr. Whale before they headed to the elevator.
"So I think Ruby is the one that tripped you on the beach when you hurt your ankle." Emma said as the elevator opened to Regina's deck.
"Should have figured." Regina said as they walked down the hall, "I know I'm not that clumsy."
Emma held out her hand for the key and she unlocked the door and opened it.
What they saw when they went in was something they never expected.
"Oh what the fuck is this?" Regina whined which startled both Katherine and Lily who had been making out on Regina's bed.
"Holy shit!" Katherine said when she saw Regina. She pushed Lily away who was still trying to kiss her and got up from the bed, "What the hell happened to you?"
"What the hell happened to you Ms. I'm Not a Lesbian?" Regina asked her.
"Why does everybody have to put a label on everything?" Lily said as she got up from the bed, "Maybe she just wanted to make out with a hot chick. No big deal."
"How about you shut up?" Emma said to her.
"Seriously, what happened?" Katherine asked Regina as she helped Regina to her bed.
"Ruby happened." Regina said, "She just got a little too obsessed with Emma."
"Told you she was nuttier than a squirrel turd." Lily said to Emma.
"Did you miss the part about shutting up?" Emma asked glaring at her.
Emma turned to Katherine, "Look it's being taken care of as we speak but I really want to get Regina in bed…"
Lily snorted and Emma glared again.
"So she can rest." Emma said.
"We understand." Katherine said as she started to push Lily towards the door.
Lily stopped and turned around, "Hey Regina."
"Yeah?" Regina asked as Emma sat by her on the bed while she was lying down.
"All joking aside, I'm glad you're okay." Lily said with a small smile.
"Thanks."
Katherine promised to come and check on her a little later and then the two of them left.
Emma looked Regina over and shook her head, "You look like hell."
Regina gave her a small smile, "Thanks."
"You know, no one has every fought a crazy bitch for me." Emma said to her.
"Really?" Regina asked, "Seems like it would be a daily occurrence for you."
Emma let out a little snort then her expression changed, "Don't ever do that again okay?"
"Tell the crazy bitches to leave you alone and I won't have to." Regina said with a smile.
"I'm serious." Emma said and the smile dropped from Regina's face.
They stared into each other's eyes for a minute.
"Let me grab your ice packs." Emma said as she went to get up from the bed
Regina stopped her, "Just lay here with me for a bit, that's all I really need."
"Are you sure?" Emma asked looking down at her and Regina nodded.
So Emma got into bed with Regina who then rolled onto her uninjured side and wrapped an arm around Emma's waist.
Emma held Regina close and soon they were both asleep.
David practically kicked the security office door open as he came in, "Anyone want to tell me what the fuck is going on?"
Anton stood up and towered over David, "Killian is being questioned in regards to Emma being held against her will and whatever other deals he was involved in with Ruby."
"He's not that stupid." David said then looked passed Anton to Killian, "Tell me you're not that stupid."
Killian said nothing and just looked away.
"Unbelievable." David huffed, "If I didn't have to undock right now I'd kick your skinny little ass all over this boat!"
"You said you could handle her." David yelled at Killian, "You said she wouldn't be a problem and that she had her shit together."
David looked at Anton, "Keep him locked in his god damn room. Put security on him till we get back home."
He turned to leave and Killian called after him, "David please…"
"I don't know what the hell I was thinking." David said shaking his head before he turned and left.
Within 2 hours the whole boat had heard about what had happened as David managed to get the boat undocked and headed back to Maine.
Ruby had woken up sore and very pissed off in the infirmary where she found herself handcuffed to the bed till Anton personally took her to the brig.
Killian was sequester in his room with a guard at his door.
Both would be taken by the police as soon as the boat was docked at home and all passengers were gone.
Emma stayed with Regina the entire time the boat was heading back to Maine and even though she was bruised and sore Regina made her way to the top deck when they finally docked back home.
Regina took a few pictures as Emma and David saw the passengers off the boat.
"You know I think I'm going to miss you a little bit more than I should." Eugenia said to Regina.
Regina gave her a hug, "I'm going to miss you too."
"And what about me Doll?" Leroy said to her, "Are you going to miss me too?"
"Are you going somewhere?" Regina asked noticing the luggage he was totting that clearly wasn't Eugenia's.
"He's coming with me." Eugenia told her.
"He can do that?" Regina asked confused then looked at Leroy, "You can do that?"
"I've quit my life as a Gentleman at sea." He told her then took Eugenia's hand in his.
Regina smiled, "Oh."
Eugenia gave her a wink before they finally headed towards the walkway. Leroy let go of her hand only long enough to give her a quick slap on the butt before retaking her hand in his.
Once everyone, including most of the crew were gone 2 detectives and 2 police came onto the boat while one remained on the dock to talk to a few of the passenger witnesses including Eugenia.
David was taken to the bridge to be questioned while the two officers followed Anton down to the brig.
After Regina and Emma gave their statements to the two detectives they both watched as the officers escorted Killian and Ruby, who had been sedated off the ship.
Regina leaned against the railing and Emma joined her.
"Not exactly the adventure you were looking for huh?" Emma asked.
"Not exactly." Regina said.
"Guess you'll go back to taking pictures of babies." Emma said, "At least they don't hit back."
Regina snorted, "Don't make me laugh it hurts when I laugh."
Awkward silence.
"So, what happens now?" Emma asked her. She couldn't make eye contact with Regina, she was suddenly nervous.
"I'm thinking a hot shower, some dinner and then a week in bed." Regina said to her.
"I was talking about us." Emma said to her.
"So was I." Regina said with a smile.
Emma smirked, "As much as I love all that, I am being serious. Is this just it for us now? You go home and forget about me? Or do you want more? Do you want to actually be with me?"
Regina got closer to Emma, "You think after all this craziness I'm just going to say, 'see ya Emma it's been real.' Then walk away?"
She took Emma's hand in hers, "I want more, whatever that is."
Emma smiled then leaned in to kiss Regina on the lips but before their lips touched someone yelled from the docks.
"You break her heart I'll break your face!"
Both women looked over the rail to see Eugenia waving at them.
Regina and Emma waved back.
"I mean it Emma Swan!" Eugenia yelled.
"I promise you I won't!" Emma yelled back at her.
Eugenia smiled at them then she and Leroy turned and walked off into the crowd.
Emma turned back to Regina, "Seems like you have a crazy person of your own."
"Shut up and kiss me already." Regina demanded.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Emma said as she pulled Regina in and kissed her passionately on the lips.
