Everything's Gonna Be Ok:

"Allan, I think it's time to clean out Rachel's stuff, you can keep it at my apartment if you want?" Marian offered, she knew how much it was killing him to look at her things day after day.

"I ain't bein' funny right…but you can't do that, there's too much stuff," Allan said looking around the bedroom.

"I don't mind honestly Allan, you have Tom to focus on now," Marian said as she looked at the sleeping bundle in the white mosses basket in the corner of the bedroom.

"I suppose so…thanks for this Marian," Allan said giving her a grateful smile.

"Oh…are you expecting visitors today?" Marian asked as the doorbell went off.

"Not that I know of, probably some strangers coming to pay their respects…you know I had the press on the door this morning," Allan said making his way down the hall. "Can you check on Tom for me please?"

"Sure," Marian said making her way back to the bedroom where Tom was stirring. "It's ok little baby"

Marian could hear hushed voices in the hallway but concentrated on Tom and getting him back to sleep.

Marian began to sing the song

"Sometimes life doesn't work out the way we planned
The moments we don't understand
The design
At that time
The dreams that extend beyond reality
A struggle with duality
But it will be okay"

Tom still wouldn't go to sleep, so Marian scooped him up in her arms and began to sway slowly.

"Today, everything is gonna be okay
God will help you find your way
I know it will work out fine
If you just give it time"

She could see Tom's eyes' closing but not quite in the land of sleep, little did she know was that the baby monitor was on and Allan could hear everything and so could the visitors.

"Life changes so much, so fast
We cherish the moments that last
But you can't keep living in the past
For long singing the same song
Get up
And write a new melody
Filled with all the rhapsody
In your heart
And let it start
You on your way

Today, everything is gonna be okay
God will help you find your way
I know things will work out fine
If you just give it time

When you look around you see
Heartache and misery
But it doesn't have to be
This way
I pray
God will help you find your way
I know things will work out fine
If you just give it time
Just give it time

Gonna be okay
Gonna be okay
Just give it time"

Marian gently placed the sleeping baby into the mosses basket and slowly yet quietly made her way to the door shutting it behind her, where she came face to face with Allan, Robin and Amber.

"That was beautiful," Amber whispered, tears in her eyes.

"Rachel made that up with you didn't she?" Allan said a tear rolling down his cheek. "I'm so sorry Maz, I was so consumed in my own grief that I didn't realize you lost your best friend," Allan said eloping her in a giant hug. All Marian could do was quietly sob into his shoulder.

"It's ok, you lost your love…nothing can compare to that," Marian said as she looked over at Robin. "Anyway Mr. A Dale, I have work to do and I cannot have you in the way," Marian laughed making the atmosphere lighter.

"But you just got Tom to sleep, I can't wake him now," Allan smiled,

"Well then you can help me here can't you, or…I'm sure Robin and Amber wouldn't mind taking you out for a bit?" Marian said addressing Robin for the first time since she got back.

"Yea, that's what we came round here for," Robin said looking at Marian.

Amber saw her chance to put Marian in her place.

"You guys go…I'll stay here and help Marian," Amber said literally pushing them out of the door.

"Amber I don't mind you can go with them if you want," Marian said going into the spare room where all of Rachel's things where scattered.

"No, I honestly don't mind I was hoping to talk to you actually about Robin," Amber said getting right to the point.

"Oh…what about Robin?" Marian asked getting thrown of completely.

"I know you two have history and I respect that," Amber said getting closer to Marian and lowering her tone. "But you had your chance and you blew it…so I'm warning you…stay away from him," Amber said getting right in her face.

"Excuse me, but who the hell do you think you are?!" Marian demanded squaring right back up to her.

"I'm Robin's girlfriend and I'm telling you to back off," Amber repeated,

Marian couldn't believe the cheek of this girl, well she wasn't going to back down, not one bit.

"And I'm telling you that your threat will not work on me…these are my friends and if I choose to talk and spend time with Robin then I will, understand?" Marian said in a tone that would make the strongest man weak at the knees and not in the good way either.

What will Amber do to get her own way??

Three reviews please :D

Thanks
