They hurried back toward the party, not wanting to be caught, “I just hope he doesn’t hurt her. Emma would kill me.” “It could go the other way,” Liam pointed out. “She could hurt him just as easily.” “Not b****y likely,” Killian quipped. “He’s our father, after all.” “True,” Liam nodded. “And we do know our way around women.” “Other than Emma,” Killian grimaced, “I’d rather forget those other encounters.” “That’s probably a good idea,” Liam muttered. They stepped around the wall to find Emma and Elsa waiting for them, “There you two are.” “Doc!” Killian exclaimed, tugging her into his arms. “You shouldn’t sneak up on a man like that.” “Where have you two been?” Elsa asked, pinning Liam with her blue-eyed gaze. Liam grinned at his fiancée, “Just looking for the little boy’s room.”
