《The Proposal》Chapter 10

They sat down and waited, Killian's knee bouncing the entire time. Liam got there and sat on his other side as they waited. Liam went in with them when it was their time, wanting to show his support for his brother. Killian held Emma's hand as they sat in the office.
"Mr. Jones, there is a lot of confusing information regarding your case. Your brother informed me that you were in fact faking your engagement to, Miss Emma Swan, and that you would leave tomorrow."
Killian nodded. "Yessir, that is true.. However, it is not fake any longer."
"You mean to tell me you're now actually engaged to this woman?"
Killian nodded, and Emma squeezed his hand. "Yessir. It's been a confusing weekend. But I'm sure of one thing. My love for Emma."
He eyed them skeptically. "And you Miss Swan, you're telling me the truth now? That Mr. Jones is your fiancée?"
She nodded. "Yes. Last week, we may have been faking it. But, I realized this weekend as Killian met and spent time with my family that I've loved him for a long time. I was just too closed off to see it."
"I knew I loved her, and there's no doubt in my mind now that one day, soon, I will marry Emma, Sir. But I can't do that if my paperwork does not get accepted. I can't leave her alone." Killian sighed.
Mr. King nodded. "I'd like to interview the two of you, and your family members. I know that only your brother is here today, Mr. Jones, so if everything checks out now, I will file an extension on your application and you'll be able to stay here for now."
Killian nodded. "Of course. I appreciate you taking the time to do this today. I know you probably wish you could just deport me and get rid of me."
"It's fine, Mr. Jones. Now, I'd like to speak with Miss Swan first, if the two of you could wait outside for me?" King asked Killian and Liam.
The brothers nodded, and Killian kissed Emma's forehead. She gave him a small smile and squeezed his hand once more reassuringly before he let go.
Emma was alone with Arthur King when he began.
"Miss Swan.. Emma, I need to know if you're being forced to do this again. If you are, I will not charge you. Just please tell me. I hate to see a woman being forced into anything."
She shook her head. "I was never forced to do this. I did it at first to keep from losing my partner at work, because we work well together. But now.." She sighed. "Now, I know I love him. That I've always loved him. And I don't want him to be forced out of the country. He is a good man, and he works hard."
He nodded. "So, tell me about your relationship. Have you told him things no one else knows? Has he told you things about him that no one else knows?"
Emma nodded. "He knows things that only my parents know. He knows about my childhood, and my late teen years. He knows about my son, and my careful relationship with my birth parents."
He nodded. "And what do you know about Killian?"

"I know that he was in the Royal Navy as was his brother. I know that he lost his mom when he was a child, and was raised by Liam. I know he was honorably discharged from the Navy after he lost his left hand. I know about his first love.. I know plenty. He's been very honest with me." She said confidently.
Mr. King wrote a couple of notes down. "I see. And I know you work with him, and you've obviously met Liam. Have you met the rest of Killian's family? I know the other Mr. Jones has a wife and kids, have you met them as well?"
"I've met his wife, Elsa. But I have not met his children yet. I believe Killian and I are going to have dinner over there soon, so I can meet them." She nodded.
He nodded. "So tell me. Is Killian allergic to anything? What side of the bed does he sleep on? Is he a morning person?"
"Killian is allergic to nutmeg, and pecans. He sleeps on the left, because I like to sleep on the right. And he's definitely a morning person. I think it's because of the years he spent in the Navy." She smiled a little. "I know I probably sound ridiculous, but Killian deserves to be in this country. I don't know why his work visa didn't get extended, but he deserves it."
"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Miss Swan, that's enough for now. Send Killian in please." He told her.
She got up and went right outside the door. "Hey, Killian it's your turn."
He looked up at her, standing and pulled her into his arms. "Did it go well, Love?"
She nodded and kissed him. "Yes, Kil.. You've got nothing to worry about. Just tell the truth."
He gave her a nervous smile and nodded. "I love you."
"I love you too, Killian." She said softly before she let him go. Emma sat next to Liam and sighed. "He'll be fine right? I love him, but I can't believe it took this mess to realize that.."
Liam nodded. "Emma, it'll work out. If he has to leave, and you want to go with him, I don't mind letting you work over there. You two will be together."
She smiled a little. "You're a good brother, Killian is lucky to have you."
Liam just shrugged. Killian sat in the chair across from Arthur's desk nervously.
"Alright, Killian. Just be honest, and this will be easy." He gave him a smile and Killian nodded. "So, does Emma know about your past, does she know things you wouldn't tell just anyone?"
"Aye, of course. She knows about how I lost my hand, and she knows about Milah." He nodded.
"Who is Milah?"
"She was the first and last woman I loved besides Emma." Killian said softly.
"I see. Your paperwork mentions that your only living relative is Liam Jones?"
He nodded. "Yes, my brother. And his wife and children. I suppose my father is likely somewhere, but he abandoned Liam and I when I was six."
"I understand. Do you know similar details about Emma?" He watched Killian closely.
"Aye. I know she grew up in the foster system, I know because of that her relationship with her parents is a wee bit rocky. I know she's got a son, and he's just as brilliant as she is." He shrugged.

"Good. Is Emma a morning person?"
"My Swan hates mornings. She can't function without at least one cup of coffee, but she usually has more." He smiled fondly. "I can't help but get up with the sun though, after years in the Navy.."
"And allergies, does she know yours and you hers?"
"She's not allergic to anything. And she knows I'm allergic to pecans, but I don't know if she knows about nutmeg." He shrugged.
"And she mentioned you sleep on the right side of the bed, is this correct?"
Killian raised his eyebrows. "She never would've said that. We haven't spent many nights together, but I know she currently likes the right.."
He nodded. "You're correct, I had to see if I could trick you. You two seem to care about each other, and know each other well enough. I just need a statement from your brother that this is indeed real, and then you'll be in the clear for a little while. Emma will have to petition for a fiancé visa, and then you're required to be legally married within ninety days."
Killian let out a sigh of relief. "Yessir. Thank you so much." He smiled a little, shaking his hand. Emma stood up when the door opened.
"I take it you did fine?" She wrapped her arms around his waist.
He nodded, hugging her tightly against him. "Aye, Love. I did alright. Liam, he needs you to give a statement on our behalf."
Liam nodded and clapped Killian on the shoulder. "Of course. I know you both pretty well, this is the happiest I've ever seen either one of you. It'll be fine." He went into the office.
Killian sat down and held Emma close to him. "You're.. You're bloody brilliant, Swan. I love you so much."
She kissed his jaw. "I love you too, Killian. Did he tell you how long we'll have until we have to get married?"
"Aye, you need to petition for a fiancé visa, and then we'll have ninety days.. But that's just to go get a marriage certificate. If you'd like a real wedding, we can always do that after the ninety days."
She nodded. "I don't care about a fancy wedding or anything, but it might be nice to do a little something more than go to town hall.. I know you and Liam have your boat, maybe we could have a ceremony with our families on the boat?"
He smiled a little. "Aye, Love.. I'd like that. She is quite the vessel. You'll have to see her."
She laid her head on his shoulder. "I know we've only been together a few hours, but I've never been happier, Killian.. Even with all we've got going on."
He pressed a kiss to her head. "I'm happy too, Love. Since we're really going to get married now.. If you don't like the ring, I'll buy you a different one, one that you like more.."
Emma moved and placed her hand on his cheek. "Killian Jones. I love this ring. I love that it was your mother's. It's gorgeous. And you're not wasting your money on me. It's perfect, and don't ever doubt that."
He closed his eyes. "I just want you to have everything, Emma. I don't want you to resent me because I didn't get you an engagement ring that you actually like."
She kissed him. "I could never resent the fact that you want me to wear a ring that is so special to you. I wish I could have met your mom, I hope she would like me."
He gave her a gentle smile. "I think Mum would've loved you. We'd have to ask Liam to be sure though, I was only a wee lad when she passed. But it means so bloody much to me that you want to wear that ring. "
She smiled back. "You're so cute when you get really Irish." She giggled.
He shrugged. "Sometimes I can't help it, Love. Being here, my accent has gotten less pronounced. But I still use some of the phrases."
She nodded and held his arm. Liam came out and smiled at them. "Congratulations, you two. You should be clear for a little while. I'll make sure our lawyer reminds you of due dates and such. And, I'd like to have you both over for dinner tonight."
Killian looked down at Emma, who smiled at him. "We'll be there, Brother. I believe Emma should meet my favorite niece, and nephews."
Killian helped Emma up from her chair as they walked out with Liam. He turned to them outside the building.
"I'm not expecting you to return to work for the day, since I plan to spend the rest of the afternoon with my wife and daughter.. And you're welcome to join us, if not, I'll see you at 6:30 for dinner." Liam told them.
Killian rubbed Emma's back gently. "I appreciate it, Brother. I think I'd like to spend the afternoon with Emma, but make sure my Addie knows I'm coming to see her." He smiled.
Liam shook his head, smiling a little. "I think your actual girlfriend might get a bit jealous, Little Brother. But I'll let her know, I'll see you both soon. Take care of him, Emma."
Emma nodded and smiled a little. "You really love your niece and nephews, don't you?" She asked as they started walking.
Killian nodded. "Aye, Love. Those kids were honestly the closest I ever thought I'd get to having children.. And when Adelaide was born last year, Elsa had some complications.. And Liam was so worried about her, that I spent a lot of time with them helping take care of the children until she was better." He said softly.
"I remember Liam missing a lot of work, I thought it was just having a new baby.. I never realized it had to do with his wife.." Emma told him. "I bet you're the best uncle anyways. You're so good with kids.." She gave him a smile.
He blushed a little and wrapped his arm around her as they walked to his apartment. Emma leaned against his shoulder, just enjoying being free to be with the guy she has liked for a long time.
Sorry if any details of the immigration thing are really wrong, I took a bit of creative liberty on that to help get the story where I wanted it. Thank ya'll for reading!

HEIMDALLR
After his first life, Heimdallr felt he had lived a decent way; he wrote stories and lived a simple life, avoiding publicity and focused on promoting growth to the few who cherished his works. But after being reborn as Heimdallr Dagrsson, one of the many sons of Daesal's greatest warrior Dagr, he was put into a world devoid of wide-spread access to reading and writing. Instead, he was dropped into a world where fighting and death commonly reared their heads. Now, faced between his unsupported passion and his new life's innate talent and upbringing, he will have to find his new path. He will forge a new story that would make even himself dubious of whether or not it's fact or fable. HEIMDALLR is a story taking place in the setting created for another previous work of mine called KOBOLD. It follows a reincarnated person trying to wrestle between their old life and new life's wants and needs, all the while adapting to the situations that arise out of his control. Heimdallr starts out trying to survive and live a new life, all the while facing challenges and growth both fantastical and painfully real. Loosely inspired by Norse mythology and histories (names and some themes), spun into a fantasy, grit-rooted world. Skål! All content warning tags are applied so as to allow freedom of writing but there is no intent of excess or even regular use of these themes. Regardless of this, any and all uses will have dedicated warnings presented in the chapter whenever they are present! Reader beware!
