Takes place at the end of Season 2

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Robin Hood

"I love you my husband"

"I love you my wife." Robin leaned in to kiss her one last time.

"Robin someone's coming. Wake Up" called Much. Robin opened his eyes to the blazing sun to find he was still tied up in the desert. A sob broke in his throat as he realized it was just a dream. A very bad dream. He looked up to see who everyone was yelling at. To his horror the riders that were approaching were Marian and the Sheriff.

Robin was surprised that everything was happening the same way he saw it in his dream. That would mean that Marian's death would happen too. As soon as the Sheriff left Robin told them of his dream.

"I'm not being funny, but I think the sun's finally getting to you mate."

"You saw up getting married?" Marian asked with wonder.

Robin smiled, "Yes, we did it twice actually. Once here and then after you saved the king. But Marian you died. Gisbourne kills you."

"Robin, Guy has had every chance to kill me and he hasn't. Do you really think he will now?"

"We'll discuss this more in a minute. Right now Carter should be arriving to free us."

"How did you know I was going to free you?" Carter asked as he cut the ropes that held John.

"You planned this didn't you?" asked Much. "You could have let us in on the plan."

"We had no plan Much," Robin said finally free of his bonds took Marian in his arms.

"If you had no plan," Marian question, "then how did you know Cater was going to save us?"

"I told you, I saw all of it in my dream." The water was passed around and everyone was finally ready to listen to the rest of Robin's dream.

"What else happened in this dream?" Djaq asked.

"The king is going to meet an imposter. Instead of the king waiting for him, it will be me. We will fight then he will retreat to a near by town. We follow him but there are several bowmen waiting for us. The king is shot in the back and falls off his horse. Marian runs out to keep Gisbourne from killing the king." Robin paused and looked at the ground, the feelings of her death still so clear to him.

"That's when he kills me isn't it? I still don't think he will. It was a nightmare Robin. You saw the worst."

"Marian open your eyes!" He shouted. "He almost killed you last year when you were the Night Watchman. He burned down your home and told you to beg him not to. He can't love you Marian when he treats you like that. He is going to kill you. He tells you that he will kill the king, gain power, and then you and he will be together."

"So, what, he kills me cause I won't move so he can kill the king?"

"No, he kills you because you tell him you would rather die than be with him. You tell him that you love me and are going to marry me. That's what he can't stand. If he can't have you then no one can. Marian" Robin paused and took Marian in his arms. He looked her straight in the eye and said "I need to ask you something you're not going to like."

"You don't want me to fight do you?"

"No"

"But Robin the king needs me to…"

"I need you more." He whispered, then slightly louder, "Marian, I couldn't save you." He stopped and breathed out trying to keep the tears from starting. He cupped her face in his hand, "I lost you once, don't ask me to do it again. Marian I can't." Robin thought she was going to argue, they always did.

"Alright," she surprised him by saying. "I'll stay out of the battle as much as I can. But if I see the king or anyone else in danger I'll have to help them. I won't be able to sit there and watch."

"I know. I would do the same thing. But now you know what to expect. You can stay away from Gisbourne. And don't forget to take a weapon; you didn't have it in my dream."

"I promise I'll stay alive as long as possible." Robin couldn't believe how much he loved her. A part of him ached when he wasn't with her. They had both forgotten they had an audience but the outlaws didn't mind. There was not a way to give them privacy here so they just turned as they weren't staring.

"Marian, I can't do this anymore." Marian heart almost stopped. "It seems like death is the only way to get us together. I told you I love you when I was trying to kill Allen and you stopped me. I proposed to you after we buried a man. We say our vows when we are going to be killed. We can't keep doing this?"

"Robin, what are you saying?" A sob broke in her throat and she continued in a whisper. "You don't want to be with me?" Robin took her in his arms. He had one arms around her waist to hold her to him and the other cradling her head.

"Shh, no that's not what I meant. I mean I don't want to wait. As soon as the king is safe this day, I want to marry you." Marian leaned back so she could see his face but stayed in his embrace. "No more waiting till the king returns or England is free. Now, tonight, will you marry me?"

Marian wasn't surprised. She realized she wanted this now just as much as he did. With a smile she said yes. He tightened his hold on her waist and swung her around. They were both laughing. He sat her on her feet and kissed her lips; a sweet tender kiss that spoke volumes.

"Um, if you're finished, we do have a king to save." Will interjected with a smile. Robin and Marian, finally remember that the gang was there, stepped apart. They kept there fingers interlaced as they walked to the group to talk of their plan.
