DSTM 25

Robin paced back and forth his living room. Marian had been gone for almost two hours now. She should have called by now. Surely it would not take more than half an hour to get rid of Guy. But then Robin knew exactly what Guy was like. After all what he had done to his cousin, he was obviously not a nice man at all. Robin paced more thinking on the subject. Marian had told him not to come over until she had called him. But she had been gone for too long. And Guy wasn't going to be happy with the news that she was leaving him for his enemy. What if he had done something bad? What if he had hurt her? Robin couldn't stay any longer, he picked up his jacket and then left, the flat and made the way to the address Marian had given him.

Guy ran through the empty streets his heart pounding, and his breath breaking. What had he done? He had just stabbed the woman he loved. He had killed her. He had killed Marian. He came to the empty warehouse, where he knew Vaisey would be. He was always there at night with the other band members, smoking all sorts of drugs. Guy had stopped going there however, when Marian had come to Washington. He walked the many stairs to the top of the warehouse. He reached the door, and could instantly hear the voices and laughs of the rest of the band. He walked in and everyone looked at him, smiling. But then the look n his face made them see that something was wrong.

'Oh Gisbourne. What have you done wrong now.' Vaisey said sighing and rolling his eyes.

Robin made it to the apartment. He went to knock but then noticed that the door was a jar a little, he put his hand round it and pushed it open. He was instantly hit by a crash of heat. He put his arm up to cover his face. He looked to his shock to find more than half the room on fire. Marian. He thought in panic as he quickly scanned the burning room. The heat was too much, and he could feel it burn his skin and the sweat start to appear on his fore head. His heart jumped to his throat, when he saw her legs. He followed them up to her body and saw that she was laying half on the wall and then the rest lying sprawled across the floor.

'Marian!' Robin called, as he made his way over to her as quickly as he could. She was near the fire and it was only getting closers. She must be unconscious from the fumes and smoke. He thought. After what seemed like hours he reached her body. Robin turned her over gently to examine her face, and gasped when he saw her top covered in blood...her blood. Without thinking he picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the blazing room. He carried her all the way down the stairs and outside away from the apartment. He sat her down on the grassy area across the road and pulled his phone out.

'Much!' Robin yelled down it in panic as soon as his friend had answered.

'Robin? What's wrong?' Much sounded confused and worried.

'Much I need you to phone Djaq and the others and come to the Rosemary Park. Marian had been hurt!' Robin pleaded.

'Marian? HURT! Oh my god! Is she OK.?'

'MUCH!' Robin yelled.

'Right phone Djaq, Rosemary park. Got it.' Much said quickly and nervously, then hanging up. Robin closed his phone and threw it away on the grass.

'Marian?' He said quietly, as he gently lifted her head. But there was no response. Robin looked at her blood covered top and lifted it to inspect the wound. He gasped as he saw the deep gash that he assumed had been a knife wound. He took his jacket off and put pressure on the wound to try and stop as much bleeding as possible. Robin looked at her face. It was pale and lifeless, which scarred him more than anything else in the world. He had just gotten her back. How could he loose her now. He knew he should have come. He should never have left her to face Gisbourne on his own. How could he? He had raped his cousin and then he left the woman he loved alone in a room with him. Robin smacked himself on the head, for being so stupid.

'Robin!' He looked up to see Djaq and the others jump out a taxi and run over to him. Djaq kneeled by Marian's side and immediately began to inspect her. Before she had become a member of the band, she had studied, medicine in hopes of becoming a doctor for four years. Djaq hissed as she saw Marian's wound and placed Robin's jacket back over it.

'I have called an ambulance it's on it's way, and Will is phoning for the fire brigade as we speak.' Much said as he came over to them. He saw Marian's state and gasped.

'What...what..Is she going to be OK?' Much muttered. Robin didn't reply, he was to concerned over Marian and Djaq was to busy try to save her life.

'What happened?' Much asked quietly.

'Gisbourne.' Was the dark, angry reply he got from Robin. Much knew he was in no mood to talk so went back over to the others to tell them the situation.

Soon the ambulance came and took Marian to the hospital. Robin had gone in with her as the other called for a taxi. Not once did Robin let go of her hand. He just gazed at her. He prayed with everything that she would just wake up. But she lay there still and white like porcelain doll. The paramedic, continued to work on her. He gave her a jag that would give her body more iron to help her from slipping into a coma. Robin's heart broke when he heard the paramedic say those words.

The hospital was only about a ten minute drive away, but it had never seemed so short to Robin. He was glad when the sirens went off and they pulled up outside the hospital.

They took Marian fro the back of the ambulance into the emergency room. A doctor was already there waiting for her. The paramedic rolled off everything that was wrong with her, and what medication she had been given.

'Right we'll take her to theatre.' The doctor said and walked through the large doors. The nurse stopped Robin and said that he could not go in. He sighed angrily . But after the nurse had told him to wait in the waiting room, and she would bring him news after the operation, he sighed and nodded. He was waiting in the waiting room about five minutes when the gang walked in.

'How is she?' Djaq asked.

'She is in theatre at the moment. I have to wait here for any more news.' Robin said sadly not looking at any of them.

'Hey this wasn't your fault' Dean said kneeling in front of him and putting her hand on his.

'How is it not. I let her go there on her own. I should have gone with her.' Robin snapped angrily.

'Look it doesn't matter what's happened. You saved Marian and she is here where the doctors are helping her. She is going to be fine.' Djaq said as she sat next to him. Robin smiled gratefully, but he wasn't letting it go that easily. He was going to find Gisbourne and kill him, for what he had done to Marian.

For two hours the gang paced back and forth. However, then one by one they had all fallen asleep, apart from Robin. He looked at Will and Djaq who were curled up on one of the empty sofa's. Allan and Siobhan were sitting next to one another on the chairs. Allan had chin chin resting on his chest and Siobhan was using Allan's shoulder for a pillow. Much was laying asleep on the floor, snoring quietly, and Dean was laid across four chairs asleep. Robin laughed quietly, what a group they made. And he wished for nothing more than to be curled up asleep with Marian.

'Mr. Locksley' Robin's head darted up as the doctor stood in front him. He leapt from his chair to stand.

'Is she ok?' He asked pleadingly.

The doctor nodded. 'Yes she is fine. We have sewing up her cut, to stop the bleeding. She had inhaled a lot of the smoke, but she will be fine. Although we do want to keep her in here for a few days. And we are waiting on a scan to come back.' Robin just about screamed with happiness at the doctors words.

'Can I see her?'

'Yes but she will need plenty of rest so please do not have her up for too long.' Then the doctor left.

Robin turned smiling and kicked Much gently who was asleep at his feet. He grumbled then awoke.

'What?' He asked tiredly looking at Robin.

'Marian's out of surgery. We can go and see her. Wake the others will you.' Robin said then started walking to the room Marian was in.

He opened the door quietly and peered in. She had her own room which Robin was thankful for as there had already been some paparazzi hang around earlier, before Will and Allan had gone and got rid of them. She was laying back in the bed, and Robin walked in and closed the door quietly so not to wake her. He walked over to the bed and sat on the chair next to it.

Marian knew someone was in the room, and opened her eyes slowly to see Robin sitting on the chair next to the bed. He was playing with her hand in his and she smiled.

'Hey handsome' She whispered. Robin jumped a little then looked up into her face and smiled.

'Marian' Robin stood and leaned over the bed and gave her a long soft gentle kiss.

'Miss me?' She asked smiling all the more.

'Miss you?...Nah thought I had finally gotten rid of you there.' Robin smirked, as Marian playful hit his hand with the little strength she had.

'I though I had lost you there. I never want to feel that way again.' Robin said quietly looking down and playing with her hand again.

'Look at me.' Marian said softly making his eyes rise to meet hers. 'You will never be so lucky as to loose me.' She smiled. Robin smirked, and leaned up to kiss her again.

'Thank God for that' Robin replied. Then a thought came to him. He was going to do it tonight when she came back but, then things hadn't gone to plan. But there was no time like the present.

'Marian' Marian looked into his eyes and smiled. 'Will you-'

Suddenly the room door creaked open a little to see Much's face.

'Come in' Robin sighed and one by one they walked in and surrounded the bed.

'Eh Robin the nurse wants to speak to you.' Will said as he walked into the room last.

'I'll be right back/' Robin winked to Marian then squeezed her hand before walking out the room to find the nurse standing waiting for him. He closed the door and turned to face her.

'Mr. Locksley?' The nurse asked.

Robin nodded.

'We have just received the scan back from the lab.'

Robin nodded.

'It was just to inform you that everything is fine. Miss Fitzwalter and the baby are perfectly healthy.' The nurse smiled.

Robin nodded through everything the nurse said...then he clicked.

'Wait..baby?' He asked shocked.

'Yes the baby is also fine. Good day Mr. Locksley.' The nurse said then left.

Robin turned shocked and walked back into the room. Everyone was laughing when he walked in and turned to look at them. Marian saw his shocked face.

'Robin?' She asked puzzled.

Robin looked up and met her eyes. 'Baby?' Was all he said. The gang looked at each other confused. But Marian's face shown with a smile.

'Yes. I am pregnant Robin.'

Everyone starred at each other in dis-belief.

'I think you two need some time alone together. We'll all come and see you tomorrow OK?' Siobhan said kissing her head and walking out with Allan. One by one they all said goodbye to her, clapped a shocked Robin on the back on their way out. The door closed silently behind him.

Marian laughed at Robin's shocked face.

'Are you OK?' She asked.

'A baby?' He was still so shocked by the nights events.

'Are you happy about that?' Marian asked as she saw the look on Robin's face.

Robin smirked and walked over and sat on the edge of the bed next Marian. He took her hands in his and smiled.

'Thrilled.' HE said as he leaned into kiss the woman he loved.
