Chapter 12
A few months had past since Marian had been rescued by Emily. Marian was nearly seven months along in her pregnancy and she was huge. Robin was constantly worrying about her. He wouldn't let her do anything.
" Oh Robin stop fussing. I am not the first woman to be pregnant you know." Marian said.
" I know, But I'm worried love that's all." He said.
Marian went to him finding that special place in his arms. She was overwhelmed with the thought that very soon she was going to be able to hold the child that she felt inside of her.
"Ahh," she said.
" What's wrong? Are you ok?" Robin worriedly asked.
Marian smiled. " Here," She said. She placed his hands in her round belly. He looked up astonished.
" What was that?" He asked.
Marian laughed, " The baby kicked silly."
"Oh." Robin smirked.
Robin was so happy. He had to admit that the farther along Marian got in her pregnancy the more nervous he became. He was still afraid he would be a terrible father. He didn't know how to be a father.
" Marian?" Robin asked. " What if I'm not a good father? What if I don't know what to do?"
" Robin, I am scared to. I have no experience as a mother." She giggled, " Unless of course you count keeping an eye on you."
She walked up and as he once again placed his arms around her she reached up and kissed him. " It is going to be alright. We're in this together. We'll figure it out." She said.
" I love you so much Marian." Robin blurted.
" I know. And you know what. I love you too!"

Emily had been reporting to Gisbourne every chance she got. She had fallen in love with the man too. She couldn't help it though. He was very cute, and she was one of the few people who he would listen to without argument.
However when she left that night to see him she was not alone. Much had seen her get up and leave, so he followed her. He couldn't believe his eyes when he seen her run to Gisbourne and embrace him as you would only embrace a lover. He turned to run back and report to Robin what he had seen.
Gisbourne and Emma had taken no notice to him though. They embraced quickly and she begun telling him what she knew. " Well Marian is almost through her pregnancy, Robin is a mess he is worried about the baby, and about Marian.." Emma stopped.
She didn't like it but she was jealous of the hold Marian had over Guy. She wanted him to herself.
"Is there anything else?" He asked. Gisbourne was sick of hearing about Marian and Robin. He wanted Marian to himself. But why bother with her when I have a perfectly good woman right here in front of me who obviously loves me. Because you know your still in love with Marian. But Marian is happy with Hood. And I am Happy with Emma. In fact I think I do really love her not Marian…
Emma leaned in and kissed Guy, " I love you" she said.
"I love you too!" He reluctantly told her.
She kissed him once more and left without saying another word.

Much ran back to camp.
" Robin. Robin where are you? Robin!" Much said.
" What is it Much?" Robin Asked. He was kind of irritated. He had been with Marian, holding her, kissing her, touching her belly to feel the baby kick. He knew it was the middle of the night and she should be sleeping but he just couldn't leave her alone.
" It's Emily. She's working for Gisbourne." Much said. " I seen her kissing him in the forest."
" Damn it! Marian was right. I am so stupid." Robin cried. " Well we will deal with her get your things."
They woke Little John and Allan up and got their things. Suddenly they heard a scream, " Robin, Robin please come here." It was Marian.
She was screaming bloody murder. Calling his name. He knew he couldn't leave her. He knew his men wouldn't leave either. Robin ran over to their little section of the camp where he had left her. As the three men followed.
" Marian, my love, what is it?" Robin asked trying to stay calm.
" ROBIN I AM HAVING THE BABY NOW!!!" She screamed.
Robin didn't know what to do. Luckily his men weren't as dumb struck as he was. Allan rode off towards town to get a midwife. He returned within the hour. Robin was holding Marian's hand praying that everything went all right.
" Alright now, I know you don't wanna hear this but you all need to get away and let the poor girl breath." The midwife said. She looked at Robin, " You're the father I presume." She said guessing this as he was the only one to not leave.
" Yes ma'am. I am. This is my wife. Is she going to be ok?" He asked.
" She is going to be fine. But I need you to go out there and wait with the rest of the men."
He let go of Marian's hand and whispered that he was just outside if she needed him.
" I love you please be ok." He said as he kissed her.
" I…Love…you…too!" She said through labored breaths.
Robin turned and reluctantly left.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It killed Robin to hear the scream of Marian as she was giving birth to their child.
" You can come back now." The woman said.
" What is it? What did she have?" Robin asked.
" She had a boy," The midwife claimed, " and a girl."
