The Proposal

Chapter 1

Here's Killian and Emma in my version of The Proposal! I hope y'all enjoy!

Emma groaned as she pushed the door open to the office. Her morning had already been terrible; her alarm didn't go off so she got up late, then after she picked up her coffee, some idiot almost hit her and it spilled down the front of her shirt.

"Hey, Emma. I have a message for Killian can you give it to him?" Ruby asked as Emma passed her desk.

Emma stopped, and forced a smile at her friend. "Yeah, Rubes. Give it to me." She sighed.

Killian was Emma's partner, and typically a pain her ass. He was cocky, and overly flirtatious.

"Thanks, it's from an attorney. Seems important. Rough morning, Em?" Ruby asked, looking at her friend.

Emma nodded. "My alarm didn't go off, some idiot almost ran into me and I spilled my coffee all over me. Hopefully Killian finished what I needed him to, and did it well or this day is going to get even worse." She ran her fingers back through her long blonde hair.

"Well, at least you get to go see your parents and brother this weekend.. I know they're excited to see you." Ruby smiled.

Emma nodded. "I know, I barely go home because I don't exactly trust Killian to complete the work on his own. And it's still hard for me.. But I promised, my little brother only turns sixteen once, and he begged for days to get me home.."

At that moment Killian Jones strolled into the office, looking at something on his phone and ran straight into Emma.

"Damn it, Jones. Watch where you're going." She snapped. "And you're late. Here's a message for you, but there's no time now. Let's go, I'm leaving town in the morning, and you know we need this done before I go."

Killian just smirked at her, and took the sticky note with a name and number scrawled on it. "We'll finish in time, Love. Don't worry about it." He took in her appearance. "Bloody hell, rough morning, Swan?"

She sighed. "Yes, I've got coffee down my shirt. Let's go, Jones. My office. Five minutes. Those contracts aren't going to write themselves." Emma stalked to her office, not checking to make sure he was following.

He made a stop in his office and brought his laptop back with him. "Alright, so we've got all of the arrangements with the client, we've just got to formalize it, and I'll make sure it gets signed and everything tomorrow."

She nodded. "I know. Ruby said that message seemed urgent, I'd look at it." She motioned at it.

"Bloody hell." He muttered, as the name registered in his brain. "I've got to call my immigration lawyer.. Can you handle this for a few minutes?"

Emma looked up from her computer. "Wait, immigration. Are you getting deported? You can't get deported. I need you." She blurted out. "I mean.. I don't like working with you, but you're at least not a complete idiot like some others." She quickly tried to correct herself.

Killian ran his fingers through his hair. "I believe they said there's an issue with my Visa application. I've got to talk to my lawyer and see what I can do. This is my brother's company, and we're headquartered in the States. I can't leave it'll look really bad for him."

Emma nodded. "Go on, call him, Killian. I know Liam wouldn't be happy if you got kicked out of the country."

Killian pulled out his phone and dialed his lawyer's number. He paced around Emma's office as he talked.

"Apparently my application was denied, and I'm being deported. Soon. Will you come with me to talk to Liam? He's less of a ponce when you're around." He ran his fingers through his hair.
