...Love at Comic Con: The Sequel - Part 1/1...

The year following Comic Con was the best of Emma and Killian's lives. Finally free to express their feelings for one another, they fell more in love each day. They were inseparable on and off-set.

But it wasn't without its challenges. The fans and media quickly learned of their new relationship. Their fans were ecstatic and immediately gave them the couple name of Emmillian. The media was equally obsessed and made it known every chance they got. They were followed by paparazzi on a semi-regular basis. They would take pictures of them leaving each other's houses, eating at restaurants, taking strolls hand-in-hand. Emma and Killian certainly didn't like the lack of privacy and intrusion into their private lives, but they refused to allow it to interfere in their relationship.

On set was another story. They tried very hard to be professional and limit the amount of PDA. But try as they might, they would invariably find themselves holding hands or sneaking kisses when they thought no one was looking. The fans had even snapped a few pictures of them while they filmed on location when they mistakenly thought they were out of sight.

But the positives far outweighed the challenges. Soon, a year passed and they were back at Comic Con where it all began.

...

The limo pulled up in front of the red carpet. Emma turned to Killian, anxiety written all over her face.

"What's wrong, love?"

"I'm just not looking forward to all of the questions about our relationship. The media was relentless and probing before we got together. I can only imagine what they'll be like now."

"Hey," Killian said, linking their fingers together. "We're in this together. It's going to be fine."

Emma smiled and squeezed his hand, as he opened the door to a flash of cameras and screaming fans. She took a deep breath as Killian helped her out of the limo. Their hands remained joined as they began their walk down the red carpet.

"We love you, Killian!"

Killian smiled and used his free hand to wave at the fans, but did not return the sentiment.

Emma arched an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to give your fangirls some love?"

Killian cocked an eyebrow and leaned in close to her. "There's only one woman in this world I love and I'm looking at her." He paused and then added with a smile, "Those three little words mean a great deal more to me now than they did a year ago."

Emma grinned at him. "Well, I get to have you everyday. I guess I don't mind sharing you for one day. Go ahead. It's fine. You'll make their year."

"Really?" Killian said.

Emma nodded. "Really."

Killian bobbed his head and then threw over his shoulder. "I love you, too!"

The girls erupted into squeals, as Emma and Killian laughed all the way down the red carpet.
