After a few rounds of them teasing each other and their bed clothes scattered around the room they headed to their car. 'Remind me, what time does this con start today?' Jen questioned sliding into the passenger seat, Ava perched on her knees. He threw a bag of their things into the back seat and sat in the drivers seat, adjusting the chair. 'Starts at 1, ends at 6 with a couple of breaks in between.' She nodded and looked over at the car clock before looking up at him. 'Quick stop at Starbucks beforehand?' He smiled giving a small laugh. 'How did I know you were gonna say that?!' She grinned. 'You just know me so well'. 'Aye, that is very true.' He started up the car and drove off, heading for the small parade of shops. They stopped off quickly grabbing their food and coffee trying their best to avoid secret photos being taken. Jen sighed as abuse was shouted across the street, it was a small town so most people knew her, knew about her past and what she'd done. 'Home wrecker' was the most popular comment that she heard or read about herself. Colins hand found her waist and he gave a small kiss to the back of her head as they rushed back to the car. She was quiet for the rest of the drive to the set, not wanting to engage in any conversation in the fear of crying. 'You're not anything of what they say. You're perfect and you're mine and we're happy. That's all that matters.' He placed his hand on her thigh, giving it a small squeeze. She nodded giving a small smile, placing her hand on top of his, locking their fingers together. She knew he was right, but it hurt. God it hurt. Colins thumb brushed her hand as he hummed along to the radio, occasionally singing to different songs that played. She smiled listening to his voice, leaning her head against the seat. She loved it when he sung. He would only ever sing around her, he didn't believe his voice was good enough. She though differently, she loved it. Loved the way he knew all the words to their favourite songs, loved how he would sing along whilst cooking or cleaning. She just wished he would believe that he was good enough.
They arrived at the set with 2 hours till the convention was due to start so they parked up and headed to their trailer. They'd moved all his stuff into her trailer before they'd even became an item, they'd always been close and his stuff just gathered up in there. He'd often walk her back after filming late at night and end up sleeping on the couch. It was just normal. They'd be at the set till late with an early morning of filming tomorrow so it made sense to stay over tonight. Colin threw their bag on the small couch whilst Jen checked through their new scripts laid on the kitchen counter, distracting herself from the earlier comments that played on her mind. 'Looks like we've a rather raunchy scene coming up' she smirked, walking to where he stood unpacking their things. He turned round and looked at the scripts in her hand. 'Is that so?' She nodded handing him the papers. He read through, eyes widening at the words in front of him whilst Jen filled up Ava's bowl back over by the kitchen. 'This is defiantly something new for the show.' He laughed walking over to the bed. She grinned, 'well it's nothing we haven't done before'. He glared at her and shook his head. 'Minx.'
'You love it.' She headed over to him straddling his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. He brushed his thumb across her cheek, seeing the pain from earlier back in her eyes. 'You're not anything they say you are. I know it hurts and i'd do anything to make them stop, but that means loosing you. And that is one thing im not willing to do.' He so wanted to say it. Tell her those 3 words she deserved to hear, deserved to hear for the rest of her life. But he was afraid it would scare her, he was afraid she'd run and leave him alone once again. She sighed, dropping her arms to his lap, head looking down at her fingers.
'I just wish they would leave it. God it was almost 7 months ago, let it go.' He lifted her chin, making sure she looked at him. His eyes searched hers and he gave a small smile. 'We've just got to ignore it. Show them how strong we are as a couple, show them how we won't let their shitty comments get to us. Me and you. We work. We fight through things. Our life is just like Emma and Killians I guess. We want happiness but just have to fight together through all the crap thrown at us. And whatever happens.' He paused to wipe the tear that had fallen from her cheek. 'I won't leave you. I won't let you cope with it alone.' She smiled, forcefully pressing a kiss to his lips. She pulled back reluctantly to give him an answer. 'Whatever did I do to deserve a man like you.' He laughed. 'I'm just doing what any decent man should do for the woman he lo- cares about.' Thankfully she didn't catch on to what was about to leave his mouth and instead kissed his nose. 'Thankyou.' He smiled at her moving his hand to her lower back, thumbing the bare skin, uncovered by her jumper. 'Now.' He gave a wicked grin. 'How about we have our own rehearsal of this scene, you know just to make sure we're perfect for tomorrow.' She laughed placing her hands on his chest pushing him down on the bed. 'Get ready for the time of your life, Captain.'
