Hello everyone! Last week was sad for Allan fans. I actually didn't watch the episode, having already read spoilers. I will no longer be watching Robin Hood, since I feel it has gone down the drain since the first two seasons. But enough of that. I would like to thank everyone for the great response I got to only the Introduction! As of today, it's gotten 52 Visitor hits, with readers from the UK, USA, Netherlands, Denmark, Canada, Iceland, Argentina, France, Sweden, Finland, and another country whose name doesn't show up in the cart. It has been favorited 3 times and is on 3 alerts. Many reviewers have called it "refreshing" and "promising", with "potential". Thank you! I really truly hope it lives up to your expectations!

A huge thanks to HighPriestessOfTheDreamWorld, for PMing me with the answers to my Allan questions. That helped a lot!

And more thank yous to my reviewers-

crabbyhopper- Hello! Allan is my favourite character too! And you were right about Rochdale! Thanks!

HighPriestessOfTheDreamWorld- Again, thank you!

lollzie- Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!

Lizhi Anne- Thank you! I recommend seeing through Series 2 if you can! I hope you enjoy my story!

numb22z- Thank you! I wanted to get the intro out before the episode came out, and I'm really glad I did.

Lady Marianne- Thank you! I know we share the same feelings toward BBC right now.

I'm glad I chose to publish the Intro when I did. Based on the reviews, I can tell many of you did what I have done in the past- unhappy with the way something plays out, we turn to fanfiction, which I truly believe is the purpose of fanfiction. But anyway, I'll get off my soapbox so you can get to the first chapter! Since this chapter is short, I will be publishing the second chapter soon too. As always, if you see any corrections, or have any ideas on what you would like to see in this story, please let me know. I really enjoy getting reviews and seeing if you like it! Again, thank you for the support so far, and enjoy!

"Two sons!" exclaimed Luke. "I have been blessed with two sons!" The man looked down at his three-year-old song. "Did you hear that Allan? You have a new baby brother!"

"The baby was born?" asked Allan, who was playing with blocks on the floor.

"Yes!" Luke smiled. "You'll have someone else to play with now!"

"He can play with me?" Allan's face lit up.

"Not right now, because he's a baby, but once he's big like you, and he can walk and talk, then you two can play together." Luke laughed. "You want to go see the baby and your mother now?"

"Yes," replied Allan. He picked himself up off the floor, and then ran to the stairs. One by one, holding the railing, Allan made his way up. Luke stayed right behind him, in case his little son fell. Reaching the top of the stairs, Allan ran to his mother's bed chamber door, jumped up to reach the doorknob, and let himself in.

"Hello Mother," he smiled as Luke followed him in the room.

"Well hello there Allan," Anna smiled back. "Have you come to see your new baby brother?"

"Yes."

Luke picked up his son. "Then up you go!" He placed Allan next to his mother and the new baby.

Allan snuggled up to his mother. "Can I see the baby?" he asked.

Anna brought a wide-eyed baby closer to him. "Here he is. Can you see him? See, he's looking at you! Allan, this is your new brother, Thomas. Thomas, this is your big brother Allan. He's going to take good care of you, aren't you Allan?"

Allan nodded his head vigorously.

"Can I hold him Mother?" Allan asked.

"You have to be very careful and be gentle, alright?"

"I will," Allan promised.

Anna placed baby Thomas in Allan's small arms.

"He's heavy," Allan commented.

Baby Thomas started to wriggle, having realized he was no longer in his mother's arms. Then a cry rang out, followed by tears.

"Oh dear," said Anna. "Here Allan, I'll take- Allan!"

Allan, in an effort to stop his baby brother's cries, had grabbed Thomas' ankles, and was now holding him upside down.

And the crying stopped.

Anna swiftly took the newborn from his older brother's hands.

"Well that's one way to calm a baby," Luke laughed. His laughing ceased with a sharp look from Anna. He coughed. "Allan," Luke said, his voice now stern. "You can't hold babies like that."

"But it made him stop," Allan replied innocently, not knowing what the problem was.

"Yes…well,…come on downstairs. We'd best let your mother get some rest," said Luke, trying to keep a smile from forming on his face.

As the door closed behind father and son, Anna let out a chuckle.

"Oh Allan," she laughed, shaking her head.
