The Proposal

Chapter 15

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."
