THE OUTLAWS CAMP- The next morning

"Breakfast is ready!" Much cried as he began to hand out bowls of porridge. Marian stood and collected a bowl for Robin. She couldn't seem to wipe the smile of her face, especially when she turned to hand it to her husband only to have him lean down to kiss her.

Alan groaned, "how am I supposed to even pretend to eat now?"

"Don't be rude." Djac hissed at him and sat down in between him and Will with her own breakfast.

John pretended not to notice Robin and Marian grinning at each other, even though apart from Much they were the only people still standing in the camp.

The rest had sat down around the fire and were starting to eat.

"Master?" Much walked over to Robin and Marian with a bowl of food.

"You need to eat."

"Yes just one moment Much." Robin took the bowl from him and put it on the nearby table with Marians. He took his wife's hand and turned to face the gang who were all looking confused except for Djac.

"We have an announcement to make." Marian tried to say evenly without grinning too much.

Robin wasn't even trying to hide his smile.

"We are going to have a baby."

There was a pause of one second before Alan stood and cheered loudly, everyone else laughing and shouting their congratulations.

Porridge went pretty much everywhere as Robin hugged Alan and Marian pulled away from Johns bear hug.

"Wait what?" Much as usual was confused.

Alan rolled his eyes, "Marians got one in the oven ain't she?"

She dug him in the side, "You could have put it a little better."

"Well..." Much seemed at a loss for words he was smiling so much, "that is..."

Robin chuckled and walked over to his friend, pulling him into a hug.

"Thank you Much."

Much was confused as they pulled apart, "But I didn't say anything."

Marian laughed and joined them, hugging Much with her free arm as Robin wrapped his around her waist.

"We know that when you are lost for words, that you are truly happy about something."

Much processed this for a moment before grinning, "this is wonderful... it will give everyone a chance to become a little more sensitive, especially Alan...
"Hey!" Alan cried in mock hurt.

Robin laughed and Marian smiled as she sat down beside him, him reaching behind her back to hand her the bowl of porridge that they had set by a few moments before.

"You don't want to eat that..." Alan called at her from his place a few feet away as she picked up her spoon.

"Squirrel might hurt the little 'ne..."

"Will you just shut up!" Much screamed at him, "You know I really do not see you volunteering to cook anything or slave over something so much better than I ever make."

Djac rolled her eyes and shook her head at their growing argument.

Robin chuckled and leant his head closer to his wife's to kiss her cheek.

"What was that for?" She smiled at him.

He grinned and placed a softer kiss on her lips.

She laughed at his sparking eyes, in truth she had never seen him so happy.

"You would do well to get that grin under control Locksley." She told him, "People will think you have lost your mind."

Robin laughed and wrapped his arm around her.

"Nothing can ruin my mood today!"
