Basically Marian and Robin are 21 and have a son. BUT they're not together.

Chp 1

Marian smiled as she watched her son playing sitting in his high chair and get completely covered in his breakfast.

'Aiden. Your father will be here for you any minute now.' Marian laughed as she took the food away and cleaned her sons face.

Aiden frowned at his mother as she took what he believed to be merely a toy and not his breakfast away from him. Marian lifted him from the high chair as the door bell rang.

'Coming!' Marian called as she made her way down the hall towards the front door. She shuffled Aiden up her hip futher as she opened the door to find Robin standing on the step.

'Hey.' Marian smiled.

'Hi.' Robin smiled at her but then turned his attention to his son. 'Hey little man.' He laughed as he ruffled his hair.

'He's just ate his breakfast. Or well some of it.' Marian laughed as she removed a piece of spaghetti from Aiden's hair. ' He didn't sleep all last night so he may be a bit grumpy today. And I will be home about three.'

'No probs. We'll be back about fourish.' Robin said as he took Aiden in his arms.

'Robin are you ready?' A voice came from behind Robin.

Marin frowned and looked behind Robin to see a tall blonde skinny girl.

'Oh yeah babe' Robin said.

Babe? Marian screamed mentally. What was going on?

'Oh Marian. This is Stephanie, my girlfriend.' Robin smiled introducing the new arrival. 'Stephanie this is Marian.' Robin turned to Marian smiling.

Stephanie looked Marian up and down. No competition there. She smirked. 'Hi.'

'Hi Stephanie.' Marian smiled, though she was growling inside.

'Well we better be off.' Robin said as he began walking down the steps with Aiden in his arms.

'Bye Aiden.' Marian called waving to her son as he disappeared off down the street with Robin and his girlfriend.

Marian closed the door and walked back into her kitchen and began to clean up the mess Aiden had left. Since when did he have a girlfriend? He had never mention Stephanie before. And now she was out there with her son and she didn't even know the girl.

RHRHRHRHRH

Robin walked down the street heading to the park holding Aiden's hand as he had squirmed to get down not long after leaving Marian's.

'He's walking so slow.' Stephanie moaned as she stopped once more to wait on Robin and Aiden, who had stopped to pick flowers from the side of someones garden.

'He's only little.' Robin explainbed looking down fondly at his son. 'You just have to get used to him.'

Stephanie rolled her eyes as she turned her back to Robin. This was not how she thought she would be spending her day. Waiting for Robin and his brat of a son.

RHRHRHRHRH

Marian sighed happily as she cleaned the last of the toys. She was waiting for Emma, her friend from Uni to come. They both had projects and were going to work on them together. Marian walked into the kitchen and put the kettle on. Emma would come in they would have a hot chocolate with mint and then Emma would devour the Cookie Dough Ice cream in the freezer as they read through the paper work.

'Marian' Emma shouted into the house as she opened the door and walked in.

'Hey i'm in the kitchen.' Marian called back.

Emma closed the door and walked into the kitchen putting her large study bag down on the floor and rubbing her shoulder.

'God that thing weights more than Arnold Schwarzenegger.' Emma moaned.

'Yeah tell me about it. Here.' Marian smiled handing her the hot chocolate before carrying her own through to the living room.

'So has Robin got Aiden.' Emma asked sitting down at the table.

'Yeah.' Marian answered as she opened her books.

They had been "studying" for almost an hour. But Emma knew that something was on Marian's mind. She had been chewing on her pensil for almost twenty minutes now and had not taken one note.

'Marian. Wat's on your mind?' Emma asked smiling.

'What?' Marian asked coming out of her day dream. 'Nothing is wrong.'

'Well unless your half beaver or that pensil did something to upset you, there's something on your mind.' Emma said nodding her head towards the now deystroyed pensil.

Marian looked at the pensil and moaned banging it down on the table. 'It's Stephanie.'

'Who's Stephanie?' Emma asked frowning.

'Robin's girlfriend.' Marian sighed.

'Robin has a girlfriend.' Emma shouted after choking in her hot chocolate.

'Yeah.'

'You never said before.'

'I never knew.' Marian said annoyed. 'Robin just showed up with her this morning. And now Aiden's out there with her. And I don't even know her. God I gave my baby to a stranger.' Marian gasped putting her head in her hands.

'Hey no you didn't. He's with Robin, his father. And if that Stephanie tries anything i'll take her down.' Emma laughed.

'Thanks.' Marian smiled as they continued their studies.

RHRHRHRHRH

Robin walked home with Aiden that night. They had taken Stephanie home first as she wouldn't stop moaning about how cold she was. They had taken him to the park, where he seemed to be having great fun, but once again it was Stephanie that would not stop complaining. Aiden was almost asleep on his chest as he entered Marian's street. He walked up to the door and pressed the bell.

'Hey guys.' Marian smiled as she opened the door and stood aside to let Robin passed.

'I'll put him in his cot.' Robin whispered as he carried him upstairs.

Marian sat in the living room waiting for him to come back down. She felt uncomfortable around him for some reason. She stood quickly when she heard the soft thud of footsteps.

'He's asleep.' Robin said as he walked into the living room.

'Yeah thought he would be. He had me up all night.' Marian smiled rubbing her eyes tiredly.

'Well he had fun. We went to the park.' Robin said.

'Did he get along with Stephanie?' Marian asked as she started clear her books up.

'Well seeing as it was their first time seeing each other then, not to bad, but they need time.' Robin said as he watched Marian. 'Look Marian. I am sorry that I didn't tell you about her. It's just that it was unexpected. She came to my house the morning and I had to bring her. I would have told you. Its just that we've not long been going out and well...' Robin trailed off.

'Robin you don't have to explain yourself to me.' Marian smiled turning to face him. 'The only thing you and I have in common is Aiden. Everything else is your own personal life.'

Robin was somewhat hurt by her words. In a way he thought he meant more to her than that. Meant more to each other. Fair enough they had broken up a long time ago. But they had known each other since childhood. They had a son together.

Marian covered her mouth as she yawned.

'Well i'll head and let you get to bed.' Robin said uncomfortably and almost ran out the door.

Marian sighed as she fell down on the couch.
