Tried to read through this chapter better hopefully not too many typos. Enjoy this chapter has some cute fluffyness at the end.

It was finally Thursday and Emma had come into the kitchen to find that Misty was sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal.

"Aren't you supposed to be at Charlie's?" she said joining her at the table.

"I am, hold your horses, I'm allowed to finish my breakfast first right?"

"Yes, sorry I've just been waiting for today all week." Said Emma grabbing the box of cereal on the table and eating some of it out of the box.

"I would imagine so, soon to be Mrs. Wayne." Said Misty with a smirk.

Emma threw a piece of cereal at her. "I'm trying to get my hopes up he might just want to have a romantic evening together. I'm also trying not to look too much into the some of the things he's been saying."

"Oo like what?"

"Like when I was talking about the house I said it was his and he said it could be my house too if I wanted it to be."

Misty let out a girlish squeal "He is defiantly proposing Em. You're saying yes right?"

"If he asks me yes, I would say yes." Said Emma with a smile.

"Good because if you were going to say no I would have to say that you would be completely and utterly mad." Said Misty with a smile as well.

Bruce who had just entered the kitchen noticed that Emma was sitting at the table with Misty. "Aren't you supposed to be at Charlie's?" He said to her.

Misty rolled her eyes before taking another bite of cereal the then saying to Emma "You two are spending way too much time with one another, either that or I'm having a strange case of déjà vu because that's exactly what you said when you came into the kitchen."

"Oh go back to England you bloody redcoat." Said Emma rolling her eyes at her best friend.

"Fine, fine I can see when I'm not wanted." Said Misty dramatically putting her dishes in the sink and making to exit the room, before she left she said her goodbye. "See ya later lovebirds." And then left the kitchen.

"You know I don't think we have ever had the house completely to ourselves before, I mean someone's always been here, usually Alfred but there are always people in this house." Said Emma pouring herself a bowl of cereal.

"Yeah but with all the chaos of these past few months the peace and quiet is very nice."

"What do we want to do before dinner?" Said Emma thinking that dinner could not come soon enough.

Bruce paused for a moment cursing to himself, he hadn't thought of what they would do before dinner he was just so focused on the dinner itself and constantly checking his pocket to make sure he had not lost the ring. "I don't know. We could go for a walk in the city I suppose we haven't been outside of the house in awhile, except for benefits and charity balls."

So after breakfast Emma got dressed and ready and she and Bruce set out for a nice walk around Gotham. Bruce of course knew the city like the back of his hand and knew just about every short cut there was, it was just strange walking in the streets in broad daylight and not using the fire escapes of the nearby apartments. Eventually they ended up at Wayne Tower the heart of Gotham. They stopped to admire the grand building.

"I forget how tall it is sometimes." Said Bruce looking up at the building.

"You know I've never actually been in it before."

"I can't believe I've never taken you here in before. Come on." He said taking her hand and leading her into the building.

"Aren't you worried someone might drag you into something work related?" Said Emma once they were in the lobby.

"I really don't do much of anything anyway. We can stop by and see Mr. Fox." Said Bruce heading towards the elevator. On the way there the security guard greeted them. "Good Morning Mr. Wayne, Good Morning Ms. Carpenter."

Once in the elevator Emma said "That man knew my name, I've never even been here before."

"I think everyone in this city knows who you are, for various reasons of course, but it can take some getting used to." Said Bruce with a shrug.

"Does it ever bother you? I mean you've had to deal with people knowing all this stuff about you your whole life."

Bruce let out a laugh. "Well not all my life, and I certainly hope they don't know some things about me."

Emma smiled. "Yes I certainly hope so as well."

The elevator dinged once they reached the top floor and they were greeted by a group of business men trying to get into the elevator. Lucius was shaking hands with one of them.

"Thank you Mr. Anderson it was a pleasure doing business with you." Said Lucius however Mr. Anderson was not looking at him.

"Mr. Wayne, I must say I was disappointed not to see you at the meeting but I suppose I get a chance to meet you now. I'm John Anderson." He said with a warm smile extending his hand for Bruce to shake. John Anderson seemed friendlier than you typical high paid executive, his hair was grey and he was balding slightly but he had a kind look in his eyes.

"Well, my apologies but your meeting happened to be scheduled on a day I decided to take off for personal reasons." Said Bruce with a smile shaking the man's hand.

"I suppose Ms. Carpenter, you would be that personal reason." Said Mr. Anderson turning his gaze towards her.

"I suppose so." She said with a laugh.

"Well I best be going, I will have my assistant give you a call then Mr. Fox." Said Mr. Anderson before heading into the elevator.

"What are you even doing here at the office Mr. Wayne?" asked Lucius.

"Emma's never seen it before. Figured I'd show her around and stop by to say hello."

Emma who had wandered away from the two men talking was looking out the window of one of the offices; she could see the whole city from where she stood. It felt strange to her looking down at everything around her. Lucius and Bruce seemed to be discussing something like they always seemed to do whenever they talked. Emma was also thinking about her earlier conversation with Misty. If Bruce was going to ask her to marry him a lot of things would be different and yet not that different. He would still have to leave almost every night, they would still live in Wayne Manor, but at the same time she would be Mrs. Emma Wayne people would call her that and they would know her as that, not as an interior decorator. Although that bother her slightly the thought of being with Bruce for the rest of her life, being his wife, brought a smile to her face.

"Emma, Emma I think we lost you there for a second." Said Bruce who was now standing beside her at the window.

"Sorry just thinking." She said looking over at him.

"Must have been something good because you were smiling."

"I don't think good would even begin to describe it." She said with a smile.

"Well do you want to go somewhere else now?" He asked knowing he didn't really want to show her the whole building after all most of it was just offices and not that interesting anyway.

So they spend the rest of the morning walking around the city they went out to lunch at some random diner, Emma dragged him in saying it was about time he spend so time with everyday people. Of course the owner of the diner nearly had heart attack and various people stared at them the entire time they ate there but it was enjoyable all the same. After that they stopped by the police station so Bruce could talk with Gordon about some things so he wouldn't have to do it later in the evening. Emma went to go a find Charlie who was sitting at his desk playing solitaire on the computer.

"Working hard I see." She said with a laugh.

"Christ Emma, don't sneak up in me like that." Said Charlie slightly startled and closing the screen.

"Well I learned from the master, I'm tempted to make him wear a bell around the house sometimes."

"I'll get him on for Christmas if he gets me a lawn chair. You know he still makes me wait outside at random hours I never know when he's going to show. He won't let me call him either."

"Bruce doesn't want these things to overlap Charlie." Said Emma rolling her eyes.

"I know. Hey why are you here?"

"Bruce is talking to Gordon."

"No shit Sherlock." Said Charlie looking over at Gordon's office where Bruce and Gordon could be seen talking about something. "I meant I thought you were having a romantic day with just the two of you."

"We are but I figured a romantic evening was more important so he should get this stuff out of the way first."

"Smart choice. I need to plan one of those sometime Sarah's been complaining that I never do anything for her anymore, not that having dinner with you two a few weeks ago helped. She still hasn't shut up about how cute you two were together, and would you please have Bruce tell her that he doesn't care what kind of plates he eats off of because she made me buy new china!"

"Okay, I will, calm down. Have you and Sarah been fighting?"

"Oh you just wait until your honeymoon is over."

"Charlie you're not even married yet, or engaged for that matter, actually that's probably what's bothering her, when was the last time you two did anything? Haven't you guys been together for like a year now?"

"I haven't had time, she just got back a few months ago and I've had to deal with all the paperwork from the whole Arkham incident…"

"Bruce has been just as busy and he still makes time for me." Said Emma interrupting him.

"Bruce is a fucking superhero of course he has time." Said Charlie bitterly.

"He is not!" Said Emma hitting him on the arm.

"Ouch! Jesus Em, alright he isn't but he's pretty damn close."

"Charlie if you like Sarah you really ought to make more of an effort. If you try and imagine what life would be like without her and you don't like the way that life would seem then she must be worth all the trouble."

"When do you become such an expert on this, you've always had crappy boyfriends." Said Charlie looking at her strangely.

"Hey for the record I may not have always had the best luck with men but I just found a bunch of them that did not work before finding one that did." Said Emma with a small smile.

"So I should make a dinner reservation somewhere then?"

"I can have Bruce get you in somewhere very nice."

"I wouldn't be able to pay for it."

"We will, consider it a thank you for the nice dinner."

"We will?" Said Charlie raising an eyebrow.

"Well, maybe." Said Emma with a smile.

"So I should write today down on my calendar as an important day then?"

"Maybe." Said Emma still smiling.

"Gordon's gonna freak." Said Charlie with a grin.

"Why?" Said Gordon who had just come out of his office along with Bruce.

"No reason.' Said Charlie quickly. He noticed Bruce looking at him as though trying to figure out what he meant. Gordon narrowed his eyes at him.

"Right well, I guess you probably want to leave now then?" Said Gordon to Bruce.

"Yeah, ready to leave now?" He said to Emma.

"Sure, I talk to you later Charlie." Said Emma before they left.

Eventually evening came around and Emma and Bruce ate in the dining room together. They were both dressed in nice evening wear and Bruce had prepared the dinner which was pretty good considering Bruce rarely cooked. Emma was in a beautiful blue gown and her hair was down in loose curls.

They ate talking about various things until finally they were both done and Bruce said "I can get desert now if you want, but I think you figured out by now there was something I wanted to ask you."

Emma felt her heart skip a beat. For some reason it was difficult for her to think of something to say to what he had just said, the word yes was all that keep coming to mind she eventually settled for "Yes, I have actually."

He had stood to get something out of his pocket and then walked over to her side of the table before kneeling down in front of her. He put the black velvet box on the table near her and then took her hands in his before taking a deep breath and starting what he was going to say "I know, we've been through a lot and I know it's mainly because of the choices in my life I have decided to make, I know this won't be easy, I know having you in my life could put you in danger and I know you may someday hate me for it, but I also know that Emma I love you so much. I would be a damn fool to let someone as wonderful as you slip through my fingers and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, which is why I'm asking you Emma Carpenter, will you marry me?"

Emma was of course by now crying tears of joy as she said "Yes, yes, I will marry you." Bruce at that moment could not contain his joy. He stood quickly pulling her up out of her seat and then picked her up twilling her around the room before setting her down and giving her a quick kiss. He grabbing the box of the table and opened it to show her the ring, it was made of white gold with two diamonds framing a center canary diamond.

"Bruce, it's beautiful."

"It was my mother's." He said taking it out of the box and handing it to her. She began to slip in on her finger as he said "Now, I'm sorry in advance I didn't have time to get it sized but…" He paused when Emma let out a sob looking down at her hands. "I know I should have had Alfred…" Started Bruce but Emma interrupted him.

"No, no it's not that." She said wiping her eyes. "It's just, I think we have your parent's blessing because; well, because it fits perfectly."

Bruce couldn't help but smile and say "Really?"

"Like a glove." Said Emma also smiling she had a feel she would not be able to stop doing so for a very long time.

Well there you go you finally got the proposal, I know it was a little long but I got some of the idea for it from Runaway Bride that movie has a great proposal in it. Well I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and will be as sad as I am that there is only one chapter left…well till the sequel of course :). Also don't forget to review please.
