Hello my friends! Thanks for the reviews! I thought that I was going to end this story sooner than I thought, but I got some great suggestions. Thanks to Becky Scarlett-Cullen and all my other reviewers, I will be continuing this story. Perhaps even making it into a sweeping saga or glorious epic that will be talked about for years to come. Ha ha ha! I will also include a few flashbacks, etc. I guess this fan fiction will be a lot longer than planned…Remember that Joseph and Katrina are my creations…so are Janet and Chad. This chapter will contain a little of everyone, just to please the masses.

I don't own Robin Hood…that would be the BBC…and of course Lady Marian…

This will be a flashback…

Four days ago…

Will entered his apartment to the sound of female laughter, it was Katrina. He knew she had stayed the previous night with Allan. Will was asked to kindly 'stay away' as Allan and Katrina were having a romantic night. Will knew that having him there would be a little awkward, to say the least, so he stayed at Djaq's on that evening.

Will and Djaq had been trading off apartments since making up, some nights they would be at his place, others it would be hers, as long as they were together that is all that mattered. Lately, though, Djaq's been working long hours at the hospital, much to Will's chagrin. Those were the nights that Will spent alone, but Djaq was never far from his thoughts.

"Hello? I'm coming in, everyone decent?" Will shouted with a curious tone.

"Yeah, we are now! Stop it Allan!" came the retort from Katrina.

Katrina exited Allan's bedroom wearing his blue robe, the one that brought out the lipid blue in his eyes. Her hair was wet, which indicated that they MUST have taken a shower together, Allan would never let that opportunity pass him by. Running a hand through her wet hair, she came over and kissed Will on his cheek.

"Hello my friend, where's Djaq?" she said as she planted herself firmly on the couch, covering herself a little more with the robe.

"She's on duty tonight," Will shouted from the kitchen, grabbing himself a beer from the fridge.

"Again? That's three nights in a row!" Katrina said with surprise in her voice.

"I know, she's covering for one of the doctors who broke his leg in a motorcycle accident earlier this week. I hate that she is working so much, I mean three days of 18-hour shifts, and it's taking a toll on her. I can see it and it worries me, I barely get to see her, before she's out the door again," Will stated matter-of- factly.

"I completely forgot about Doctor Slater's accident! I kinda feel bad about requesting these last three days off, sounds like they could of used me at the hospital. I hope they won't hate me for it!" Katrina winced at that thought she said out loud.

"I'm not being funny, but you know how stubborn Djaq is, she would never admit to fatigue or that she is working too much. What about Joseph, can't he cover those shifts?" Allan said entering the room with wet hair, too, in a t-shirt and sweats.

"He is there, too, but the hospital needs two doctors on staff at all times. I guess the other doctor is still on vacation…Sorry if I interrupted something I just didn't want to be at her apartment without her." Will informed his best friend.

"Well, you kinda did…" Allan said folding his arms.

"Oh shut up Allan, our sex fest was over," Katrina said shaking her head at him.

"Oi!" Allan objected, loudly.

"Come on Allan, we are all adults here. Will knows perfectly well what we have been doing the last few days, he's not an idiot," Katrina replied to his objection.

Allan turned a bright shade of red and practically ran into the kitchen to fetch himself a much needed beer. Will couldn't help but smirk at the comment that Katrina made. Even though Allan was a bonafide ladies man, things were different with Katrina, she could be 'the one'. The contemplation of that scared Allan, he had never thought about things like marriage, children, etc, but with Katrina those ideas had been starting to slowly creep into the dusty parts of his mind.

"You're actually okay with Djaq and Joseph working long hours together?" Allan queried.

"Yes, everything got worked out between us. We all sat down and had a talk about what had happened at her party. He was actually jealous of me! Can you believe that?" Will asked.

"Yeah I can believe it, I know how he feels," Allan said, bitter sweetly.

Katrina looked at Allan with love in her eyes. She knew what he meant by the tone in his voice. Katrina knew of his feelings for Djaq, but she also knew that Will was hers, forever and always. Katrina couldn't change the past, nor could she ask Allan to ever stop caring for Djaq, she was and always will be one of his best friends.

Will felt like an idiot for repeating what Joseph had said. He didn't mean to make Allan feel like crap, it just slipped out. He knew, though, that despite what he said, Allan would be in good hands. Katrina is a great woman and she is, no doubt, the best thing in Allan's life.

"I'm starving! Boys, are you up for some food?" Katrina finally said, breaking the awkward silence.

"Count me in," Allan said.

"Me, too!" Will agreed.

"Great! Let me get changed and I will start dinner. My famous chicken?" Katrina posed the question.

"Sounds good to me!" Will said with a delightful smile on his face.

"Janet, have you checked the glucose levels on Mr. Miller?" Djaq asked the on duty nurse.

"Yes, Dr. Anjali, they appear to be normal," she said looking up at the Djaq over her glasses.

"Good, keep me posted if they spike, okay?" Djaq requested.

Djaq was starting to feel the affects of her third 18-hour shift in a row. She was working on fumes, her body and mind were beginning to show the signs of fatigue. Even with the few hours of sleep she was able to slip in, in the on-call room, she was still not herself. The one thing that Djaq always prided herself on was her ability to work under stress, to combat whatever was thrown in her direction. These last three days, however, truly put all of that to the maximum test. She felt as if her body was betraying her and she couldn't figure out why. She knew the affects of long hours at work and the kind of toll it would take, but this was different. She felt weak and vulnerable, something Djaq was definitely NOT accustomed to at all. Three days of cafeteria food, bad coffee and no Will were wreaking havoc on her system. Maybe I'm just a little more susceptible because I'm tired.

"Djaq, have you gotten the results of Ms. Franklin's blood work?" Joseph asked his fellow comrade.

"I am still waiting on them, but they should be here soon," Djaq replied in a daze.

"Why don't you go and get some sleep in the on-call room, I will come and get you when I get the results," Joseph said, concerned.

"I'm okay, I'm just missing Will," she said with a smile on her face.

"Are you sure? You look…tired," Joseph said carefully choosing his words.

"Tired? What did you really mean to say, Joseph?" she asked him slightly annoyed.

"Nothing, we are just both a little punch drunk! We both need sleep and decent food! I can't wait until this shift is done and I can go home and get both!" Joseph said with a slight sigh. He, too, was feeling the same affects, at least they could empathize together, partners in misery.

"Agreed!" Djaq said with the same sigh.

"Here are the test results you were asking for Dr. Anjali," a male nurse said, interrupting their sighs.

"Thank you, Chad," Djaq said, in a doctor's tone.

Taking the chart from him, she opened it and glanced at the words on the page. She tried to focus on what it said, but her eyes were not in the least bit cooperative. She blinked her eyes tightly for a few seconds and then re-focused. Reading carefully, she smiled, finally deciphering the language on the page.

"Good news?" Joseph asked, inquisitively.

"Yeah, great news actually," she said, the smile still on her face.

"I love it when us doctors get to give a patient good news, it makes these long hours worth it!" Joseph said confidently.

"I couldn't agree more," Djaq replied happily.

Just then, both their beepers went off as Janet and Chad ran past them towards the ER.

"What's going Chad?" Joseph said, as he grabbed Chad's arm.

"A car collided with a bus…" Chad said catching his breath.

"Say no more, we're on it," Joseph said as he nodded to Djaq as they both ran towards the ER.

Marian and Robin have been arguing for the last hour about her job. Marian has, too, been working long hours at the magazine. She is the deputy director of the Fashion and Style section of Sherwood International, a British magazine that had just recently gone global. Guy Gisbourne is her boss and the man that is frequently the cause of most of their arguments. Guy, being the man of stature and power that he is, has always had feelings towards Marian. Despite his ruthlessness in business, he has always maintained his standing with Marian. They have often worked late hours, side by side, and repeatedly just the two of them. Robin's dislike for him has always been evident, from the second he met him, and he knew what Guy was REALLY like. Marian liked Guy, she always thought he was quite handsome, definitely a different type of man from Robin, not better or worse than him, just different. There was always something about him that intrigued her. She knew how Guy could be with other people, she also knew how he was with her, and that is really all that counted. Robin trusted Marian, it was Guy he didn't trust.

"What do you mean you have to go back to the office tonight?" Robin said as he grabbed Marian's arm forcefully.

"I told you I just came home to grab the portfolio I was working on, change my clothes and get back to the office." Marian snarled, taking back her arm.

"Can't Guy do this project himself?" Robin asked his beloved.

"No, he can't, we're a team Robin, and we are working on this project together. We have a serious deadline to meet," she looking at him straight in the eyes.

"I bet that's not all he is working on," he said under his breath.

"What did you just say, Locksley?" she said to him disgusted.

"You heard me, Marian," Robin said in the same disgusted tone.

"You are unbelievable! Grow up, Robin! I am perfectly capable of handling him," she educated him.

"I'm sure that he wants you to handle something of his," Robin said under his breath again, but loud enough for her to hear it.

"What the hell does that mean?" Marian screamed at him, completely disgusted by what Robin just said.

"Marian, I know what kind of man he is. I know what he really wants from you, and I'll be damned if I am going to allow him to take it." Robin informed her.

"You are talking nonsense, Robin, Guy is my boss and my friend, all he wants from me is my expertise and my input on this project. Whatever you are thinking he wants comes from your own perverse sense of manhood," Marian replied to him annoyed at his arrogance.

"Marian, I am just concerned that he will try and take advantage of your situation. He will try and manipulate things to his way, understand?" Robin asked her with careful concern.

"You obviously don't know me at all Robin Locksley!" she said to him as she headed for the door.

"What are you talking about? I know you better than anyone!" he protested grabbing her arm again.

"Let go of me Robin, you're hurting me!" she shouted at him.

"Marian, please!" he pleaded with her.

"Let me go Robin before we say something that we will both regret," she glared at him, daggers in her eyes.

Robin could see just how serious she was. She can still devastate me with one look he thought. Marian's muscles were tensing and he could feel her pulse through her arm, he let go of her. Glaring at him one last time before she opened the door, she turned to him, Why are you always driving me absolutely crazy! She thought.

"I'll be sleeping at my place tonight. Don't wait up for me," she said to him with disdain, slamming the door behind her.

Robin stood there just looking at the blank door in front of him. His ears still ringing from what she just said.

Much and Eve were enjoying themselves at her place, free from everyone else's drama. They always enjoyed their time together, which they had precious little of. They were always with the others, doing what everyone else wanted, never what they wanted. Being together was the best time in their lives, because they never had to hide who they truly were, they could just be.

"Do you think the gang will support our decision to move in together?" Eve asked Much as she handed him a glass of wine.

"I hope they will. We have always supported them in their decisions, I should hope that they would reciprocate." Much answered taking a sip of wine.

"Robin will be crushed, you guys have lived together for a long time. It will hard for him to adjust," Eve said almost worried.

"He'll miss me cooking and cleaning and picking up after him. He'll miss his 'maid service' or should I say his Much service." Much said proud of his clever use of words.

"Maybe this will finally give him the incentive to ask Marian to move in with him. It is the most logical step for them, don't you think?" Eve inquired, sliding her hand to his knee.

"Logic and those two don't mix, it's like oil and water. I have never understood their crazy relationship. They don't make sense to us normal, rational people," Much said to her with a puzzled tone in his voice.

"That's what works for them, I suppose, everyone is a little crazy when it comes to relationships and being in love, finding the balance is the key. I guess we are lucky in that sense, we have found our happy balance," She said as she kissed him on the check.

"You are right, I just hate to see Robin and Marian go through the same things over and over. It is frustrating to always be caught in the middle with them." Much said exasperated.

"He needs your advice, he trusts it, he knows that you are the one person that will tell him the absolute truth, regardless of the consequences," Eve said reassuringly.

Much looked at her lovingly, how did I get so lucky? He thought to himself. Eve caught him looking at her and she smiled at him, she had a plan. Grabbing the bottle of wine in one hand and Much in the other, she dragged him towards the bathroom.

"Come on, I feel like taking a bubble bath, join me?" Eve purred at him dragging him into the bathroom.

"What? I…bath…" Much garbled as the bathroom door shut behind them.

Well kind readers, that is the end of chapter 4. I know I said there would be revelations in this chapter, but I decided to hold off until chapter 5, which will pick up where the 'Sunday Brunch' chapter left off. I kinda liked that whole Much maid thing, and the Allan and Katrina sex fest comment, sometimes those things just come to me! Hee hee hee! Let me know what you think? Reviews are welcome and as always encouraged.
