DD 10

Emma. I better get my updates for this. ;)

Marian sat the next morning with her father, Djaq and her parents, at breakfast, in the restaurant area of the resort. She happily day dreamed as she stirred her water lightly with her straw. There was a thick uncomfortable tension at the table between Marian and her father. Everyone felt it, but Marian seemed to engrossed in something, or someone else to bother with it. Everywhere she looked she only seemed to see Robin's face. In the glass, the water, even the ice. It was foolish and she knew it. But she had fallen for him, harder than she ever felt possible. He didn't make her feel the way any man had before. With him she wasn't the "little girl" her father made her out to be. Robin made her feel like a woman. Her heart leapt at the thought of seeing him again. And she couldn't wait for it.

'So everyone going to be in the show?' Guy appeared behind her father as he sipped his tea.

Marian mentally sighed. Her she as thinking about the most marvellous man in the world and Rasputin had to come and ruin it.

'No. Marian and I are leaving tomorrow. To miss the weekend traffic.' Edward spoke for the first time that morning.

Marian shot her head up and looked at her father with disbelief. Surely he would not take her away after one silly mistake. He was not that cruel...was he? Her heart broke at the thought of never seeing Robin again. She wanted cry, but would not allow herself to do so in front him.

'But daddy we are paid up until Sunday.' Marian protested and tried to hide the pleading in her voice, but failed terribly.

'I said we are leaving tomorrow.' Edward repeated sharply.

'But we will miss the show.' Marian persisted. In truth she was not bothered the slightest about the show but she had to think of something to make her father stay.

'It's the big event. People bring their own arrangements. You don't want to miss it.' Guy added smiling at Marian. 'Marian I need you to help with props.' He added before walking away.

Marian groaned. What she would do to be with Robin for a few extra days.

'Edward why would you want to leave early?' Djaq's mother asked curious as to the sudden change in mood and plans.

There was a pause before Edward spoke again. 'It was just an idea. We will stay.' He replied, but Marian could tell by his face that he was not happy. He then got up and left.

After breakfast Marian decided to go and check on Sarah. Also at the possibility that Robin may be there. However, her father walked out of Sarah's cabin, so Marian had to run and hide until he was gone. Marian's heart raced as she watched hi walk away. That was to close.

'Hi.' Marian whispered as she knocked and entered her small cosy cabin.

'Hi.' Sarah replied.

'You look much better.' Marian smiled, happy to see the colour returned to Sarah's face.

'You just missed you father. He's such a wonderful man.' Sarah smiled.

'I'm sorry, I didn't realise...' Marian began before Sarah cut her off.

'Its OK. Its not your fault. You couldn't have. It OK.'

Marian went to speak when there came a knock at the door. She turned to face it as it opened and Robin walked in.

'Hey.' Robin smiled as he entered looking at Sarah, oblivious to Marian standing there. He entered the room more and his eyes landed on Marian.

Marian felt uneasy as he was in the room. She didn't know what to do, and could not hold back the large rosy blush that appeared on her face.

'So how you doin'? Robin asked walking up to Sarah's bed.

'I'm OK.' Sarah smiled. 'Dr. Fitzwalter says I am going to be fine...and I can still have children.' Sarah replied happily.

'Sarah that's great. Really great.' Robin said. He knew how much Sarah wanted a family one day.

Marian stood uncomfortable. She felt that like she was invading a private moment, and it was almost as if the two of them had forgotten about her.

'So how did it go last night?' Sarah asked looking at Marian then Robin, wondering about the dance.

Marian blushed even more.

'Good.' Robin said trying to stop the smirk from appearing on his face and avoiding Marian's eyes.

'Fine. I didn't do the lifts, but it was good.' Marian smiled trying to play along.

Robin looked at Marian quickly but then turned back to Sarah, before he couldn't restrain himself any more.

Sarah looked between the two of them. She may have gotten knocked up, but she certainly wasn't stupid. She could plainly see what was happening. They were falling for each other. Which could only lead t disaster.

'Well I guess I.. I guess I'm gonna go.' Marian said uncomfortably. 'Bye.' She smiled to Sarah.

Her eyes looked on Robin as she walked to the door. Their gaze locking tight.

'See ya.' Robin said to her as she opened the door and walked out. He felt something inside him hurt, as she was no longer in the room.

'So he says your going to be fine?' Robin added changing the subject and turning back to Sarah.

'What are you doing?' Sarah asked not answering his question.

'Don't worry about Vaisey I'll tell him your grandmother died or something.' Robin persisted.

'How many times have you told me never to get mixed up with them?' Sarah asked, continuing to ignore Robin's rambling.

'I know what I'm doing Sarah.' Robin stated.

Sarah sat herself up as much as she could with her wounded belly, and held herself up on her elbows.

'You listen to me. You've got to stop it now.' She insisted.

Robin sighed and looked away. A part of him knowing that she was right. He wanted for nothing more than to be with her. To have her, for her to be his. But it had to come to end. Robin nodded and got up and left Sarah alone in her cabin. He closed the door after him and turned to leave when he froze at the sight of Marian sitting waiting for him on the steps. Not now. He thought.

Marian stood and turned to face him as she heard him leave. Robin noticed her and walked slowly towards her.

'Look um..I gotta run. I got a lesson with the Kramer's in three minutes. And they'll kill themselves if I am not there.' Robin told her. They were both uncomfortable. Not knowing how to act in each others presence. Both wanting to hold the other, but not being able to.

Marian stood against the wooden wall of the cabin. 'Yeah, well sure. You've gotta go.' Marian said turning not to sound to sad or disappointed.

Robin gazed at her for a few moments, not wanting to take himself from her side. 'I'll see ya.' He said before walking away.

Marian watched him leave and felt her heart fall. She couldn't but think that it was some sort of excuse not to be with her.

'Robin!' She called before she could stop herself.

Robin turned and faced her. He watched her and his heart broke. He knew what she was thinking. What she was feeling. She thought that he was using her. That she was just some one nighter. But she was so much more than that. Her expression pleaded with him to give her a sign. He smiled and winked at her, before turning and continuing on his way.

Marian smiled gladly. Everything was going to be fine.
