Sorry this update took so long, but I had exams, and I couldn't work out how to add another chapter on, but now I'm all sorted! !
Chapter 2
Surprises and New Beginnings
Robin stared down at the sleeping form of Marion. She had curled into the fetal position under the blanket. He sat down on the edge of her bed and thought back on what had happened since she arrived, in a less than graceful manner.

"It's alright my love. I'm going to carry you back to camp, and then Djaq will work her magic. You've cheated death twice, and you're going to cheat it once more."
He picked her up and began the short walk back. But since Marion moaned every time he moved her in his arms, the journey was made longer. Using up time they couldn't afford to lose.
When they finally arrived at camp, the gang ran out, surprised to see Robin carrying Marion. The last time they had seen her was in the Holy Land, and she had died.
When Djaq recovered from the shock, the physician inside her came alive.
"Keep holding her for a while Robin." She instructed.
She then grabbed a clean sheet out of a chest, and threw it over Robin's bunk.
"Lay her down her gently. I need to see what's wrong, and since this is a very delicate procedure, I need everyone except Robin out," she commanded. The gang shuffled out, but not before Much had placed a pot of boiling water next to the bunk. He received a smile from Djaq in thanks.
"Robin, I need you to sterilize these instruments for me while I see what's happened."
Robin obeyed, while Djaq cut away the fabric of the loose dark green top Marion was wearing. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw what lay underneath the fabric. Marion's wound had been treated, most likely in the Holy Land, but it was now infected.
Djaq worked quickly, and with Robin's help, managed to clear the wound of infection, and treat it properly. Finally, the wound was bandaged, and the gang was let in.

Robin was dragged out of his thoughts by a voice behind him.
"Robin? Can I talk to you for a while? It's important," Djaq said.
Sensing the urgency in her voice, Robin moved over for Djaq.
"Um Robin," she started, her face starting to colour, "You and Marion didn't, um, you know...get any honey, did you?"
It was Robin's turn to blush, "We um... might have...Why do you ask?"
Djaq lowered her voice, so the gang (who were pretending they weren't listening) couldn't hear.
"Because Robin...Marion's 7 months pregnant".
