Little John was gradually getting better thanks to Djaq's hard work and the Gang's efforts to help. His fever had gone, like a miracle had occurred, and his legs were then working properly again- but Djaq had warned him to take it easy.
Will, meanwhile, had been so proud of Djaq- he knew she was exhausted and had had little sleep. Will had spent little time with his fiancée, and was upset he couldn't help her to rest. One day, he took Robin to one side.
"Look at her," Will told him quietly, the pair gazing over at Djaq, who was trying not to fall asleep as she made Little John some more medicine. "Robin, she's had no sleep. She's been working for ages now, and I haven't spent any time with her. She needs to take a break."
Robin nodded. "I tried to talk to her, Will. You know what she's like, though! I can't get her to stop making things for John- and he doesn't need treatment now."
"Talk to her again."
"You. She won't listen to me when she's in her 'physician' state. Go and take her to the lake or whatever it is you lovebirds do." Robin grinned and Will blushed. "Go on. Hurry up."
Will obeyed his cheeky leader and noticed that Robin's eyes were dark. He obviously wasn't getting any sleep either, with Marian's death painfully chewing at him. Will smiled sadly and proceeded to walk over to Djaq, who was now getting told off by John.
"…I can't believe that I'm perfectly fine and you're still worrying and making medicine. I'm FINE, Djaq. Please don't get het up. You need sleep!" Little John looked at Will pointedly. "Doesn't she need sleep?"
Will looked over at Djaq and smiled softly. "Yes, she does." He strolled over and swiped the things out of her small hand. "Come on, my love."
"But- but I-
"-Djaq." Will stopped getting excited at the thought of spending time with her for a moment to gaze at her stunning, doe-shaped eyes. "Come on." He held out his hand and Djaq sighed, setting down her things and taking Will's hand. He immediately got excited at the prospect of spending some time with her again and eagerly, but gently, tugged at her hand. She tried to keep up with him, trying not to laugh.
"WILL!" Day smiled widely as they finally reached the gleaming lake. She laughed harder as Will wrapped his lanky arms around her waist and, wasting no time, started to kiss her neck. She shivered and closed her eyes as he continued, trying to save the precious moments the shy couple had together.

Nazir looked up at the Sheriff's words.
"So." He started slowly, frowning as the words sunk into him. "She won't be appearing until next week?"
"Appears so." The Sheriff sighed. "She has, ahem, indeed saved the life that was, erm, supposed to be dead by now. Their deliveries to the people are stretching out. Unwillingly, of course. But Gizzy has information that they come at night." He nodded his head at Guy, who was brooding in the corner. "You could try tonight. They've stolen more goods today."
Nazir nodded and stood up. "I shall leave, then."
"Where are you going?" Guy stopped sulking and looked up.
Nazir snorted. "If they are, indeed, making their deliveries at night, I am sure they will come today. With her." An image f Djaq floated in his head. "I will go, and I will capture her. The rest will come, and they will die." He smoothed out his cloak and nodded at the Sheriff, who smirked back darkly. Nazir left, causing then Sheriff to look at Guy.
"See that there, my boy? That's what I want. Not failure. Oh no. But SUCCESS."
Guy switched back to his sulking mode.

Will looked up at the sky and sighed. "I think we should go, my love."
Djaq groaned and buried her head into his shoulder. "Five more minutes."
"You don't have to come to the delivery. You need sleep-
"-I'm going to come." Djaq rolled her eyes at him after fluttering them open again. "Just give me five minutes!"
Will smiled and kissed her softly. "Grumpy, aren't you?"
"Hmm. But you love me for it. Just like I love you for your worringness."
Will eyes crinkled in pleasure as he gazed at his fiancée and silently kissed her again.
Right! the next chapter will be the conclusion of whether Nazir gets Djaq or not. Mua ha. Please review, otherwise no next chapter! sorry! xx
