《The Proposal》Chapter 15
Advertisement
A few weeks later, Emma and Killian were standing outside of the courthouse with Liam to get married. Emma's hands were shaking, she did not know why she was so nervous, she is marrying the man of her dreams.
Liam came up behind her and rubbed her shoulder gently. "Lass, it'll be okay.. You and my brother are perfect for each other.." He told her quietly, leaning down to kiss her head.
She looked up and gave him a small smile. "Thank you, Liam.. I don't know why I'm so nervous.. I know Killian wouldn't hurt me.."
"Getting married is a big step, Emma.. But I can tell that this is going to go splendidly for you both." He smiled softly.
She hugged Liam tightly. "Thank you.. For everything you've done to help us.."
Liam kissed her cheek as Killian came up to them. "We're all set, Love.." Killian said softly.
Emma smiled and moved into his arms. "Good. I'm ready." She kissed his cheek.
Killian held her close for a moment, his own nerves lessening because he had her in his arms. When it was their turn, they went into the room and had their little ceremony with Liam as their witness.
Killian leaned down and kissed her when he was instructed. "We did it, Love.. We're married." He grinned.
She cupped his cheek and nodded. "Yeah, we did, didn't we?" She was happier than she thought she would be.
They took their copy of the certificate and went outside. Killian pulled her close and kissed her again.
"I love you, Emma. Thank you for doing this.. For being so wonderful, and everything I needed." He breathed into her ear as he held her.
She rubbed his side gently. "I love you too. I'd do anything for you, Kil.."
Liam smiled at them. "Congrats, you two. I've got to get back to the office, but if you'd like you can take the rest of the day off.."
Killian nodded and hugged his brother. "You've given us too much time off lately, Liam." He sighed.
"I'd do it for any of my employees getting married, but it doesn't help that you're my little brother.. And my best lawyer." He teased and hugged him back. "Take today, and I'll see you both tomorrow."
Emma hugged him then took Killian's hand. They spent the rest of the day just enjoying their time together. They couldn't stay away from each other all night. They found themselves curled up on the couch, watching some show but not really paying attention.

Killian kissed her head, and held her tighter. "It's so weird to think you're my wife.. I never thought that I'd ever want to get married.." He said softly.
Emma looked up at him. "I know.. But I really couldn't be happier. You're so amazing, and I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend." She smiled. "I'm glad you decided you wanted me, instead of leaving the country."
He nodded. "I couldn't be happier either, Love.. I know we've only discussed it once or twice.. But maybe we could officially move in together, now that we're married.."
"I.. I think I'd like that. I've been staying at your apartment most nights since my family left anyways.. Maybe after a while, we could get a new place? Maybe closer to your family or something?" She asked softly.
Killian smiled a little. "I'd love to be closer to my family.. And I'd love to find a place that's ours." He kissed her jaw. "I love when you stay over, it's hard to sleep when you're not with me now.."
She turned in his arms and kissed him. "Getting married and moving in together.. We're so grown up." She laughed softly.
He grinned. "You're everything I've ever wanted, Swan. I'll gladly be grown up just to spend my life with you."
Emma burrowed into his arms and fell asleep, perfectly content. They went back to work the next day, and Killian found it more difficult than he thought it would be to keep his hands off Emma in the office.
He knew she was not huge on PDA especially at work, but he couldn't help it. He rested his prosthetic on her knee as they looked over the contract.
Emma looked at him and rolled her eyes teasingly. "You're so touchy today, Kil.. It's not like you, what's up?" She laid her hand over his on her knee.
He blushed a little. "Sorry, love.. I've just got my wife sitting next to me, and I want to be close to her." He shrugged. "I like being able to touch you."
She rubbed her thumb over his forearm. "I know, I like that my husband is sitting next to me too.. But we're at work, we can't.. Liam would kill us if we have too much PDA.."
"Aye, I know.. I'm sorry, I'll keep my hands to myself.." He said softly.
Emma kissed his cheek. "I'm lucky to have a guy who loves me as much as you, and can't keep his hands off me.. But as much as I love being in your arms, or holding your hand.. I'm just nervous about it at work."

"I understand.. I'm sorry." He said softly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I'll control myself." He gave her a small smile.
Killian managed to stay professional at work most of the time. He would sneak a kiss or two when they were alone in his office, just to see her giggle from her embarrassment.
Before they knew it, they had settled into a routine and were moving into their new apartment a couple months later. Emma's parents had come down for the weekend to help them, and to drop Henry off for his part of the summer with them.
Killian leaned down and kissed her. "This is our place, Love.. How does it feel?" He smiled softly.
She played with the hair at the nape of his neck. "Bloody amazing." She grinned, mimicking his accent. "But seriously, I'm really happy we found somewhere perfect for us."
He grinned. "Me too, Swan.." She stood on her toes and kissed him when there was a knock on their door.
Emma pulled back and went to the door, Killian close behind her. "Mom!" Henry exclaimed when she opened the door then hugged her tightly.
She chuckled softly and kissed his head, hugging him back. "Hey, Kid.. I'm glad you made it safely." She looked up. "Hey, Mom, Dad.. And Liam, thank you for getting them from the airport for me." She smiled.
Liam nodded and stepped inside to his brother while Emma hugged her parents. Henry came and hugged Killian after he let go of Emma.
Mary Margaret hugged Killian as well. "Let's get you two moved in.. I bet you're ready to be settled aren't you?"
They had brought a few boxes over already, and their new couch and a bed for the guest room, which would be Henry's, had been delivered. They took the moving truck to Killian's old apartment to get the rest of their stuff, Emma's stuff had been moved there shortly after they were married.
Killian and Liam took most of the furniture while Emma, her parents and Henry finished packing up the boxes and brought them down. With the six of them working, they were done rather quickly. Neither Killian nor Emma had ever been sentimental so they did not have much besides their clothes.
"Elsa is going to bring the kids, and dinner for all of us, Brother.. She wanted to help in some way since she needed to stay with the kids.." Liam said.
"That sounds great.. We've done a lot today, tomorrow will just be us unpacking and moving furniture." Killian nodded.
Elsa brought them dinner and they ate, sitting around the coffee table, laughing and talking. By the time David and Mary Margaret left Sunday afternoon, the apartment was almost complete.
After dropping them off at the airport, Emma wanted to take Henry for dinner. Killian suggested a seafood restaurant that was themed like pirates since he knew Henry was interested in them. After they ordered Henry looked at them from across the table. "I'm excited that I get to stay with you for a few weeks." He grinned.
Emma smiled. "I'm happy you're here too.. Killian and I have to work, but we're going to work from home some days, and we'll try and leave early.."
"I know, it's cool. Can I come with you one day?"
"Aye, Lad. Of course you can. I thought you'd maybe like to go to a camp next week at the library? That way you won't be bored all day when your mom and I have to go to work.. My friend Belle runs it, and I know how much you love reading." Killian smiled.
Henry shrugged. "That sounds cool." He smiled a little. "Can we go on your boat again while I'm here?"
"Aye, a trip on the Jolly sounds like a wonderful idea.." Killian nodded.
Emma smiled at her boys. "I'm so glad you got to come hang out with us for a few weeks, Kid. I've missed you."
"I've missed you too, Mom.." He smiled. Emma asked him to tell them about school. "Oh! I got straight A's this year!"
"That's amazing, Henry.. You're so smart. Smarter than I ever was." Emma was really proud of him.
Killian put his arm around Emma as they ate. "How about we watch a movie tonight, Lad? Since Emma and I have work tomorrow.."
"Sure.. What do I do tomorrow?" He asked curiously.
"You can come to work with us, or Elsa has offered for you to stay with her, and you can play with the kids.." Emma explained.
"Um.. Can I stay with you? I'll be good, I promise." He asked hopefully.
Emma nodded. "You can.. You can bring your books, and I'm sure Killian or I will be able to show you around the office. We'll do our best to make sure you're not bored out of your mind."
