Des sat round the fire now with the remaining People left. Him, Reg, Phil, Cameron, Sam, Debbie, Kerry and Jo. The eight of them sat there talking about the days task and laughing about the streak.
"Shame we didn't get it on film! Yvonne would have loved to have seen that!" Laughed Kerry.
"Yeah, that was top." Agreed Sam. All of a sudden the Sheelagh came running out of the tent pass them.
"Shee!" Said Des wondering what was wrong
"Can't stop, gonna be sick!" gulped Sheelagh gagging. Sheelagh ran off as quick as she had came.
"Nice. What's wrong with her?" Asked Des looking after her.
"Don't know, but It better not be catchable cause I gotta share a tent with her." Giggled Marylin trying to see the bright side.
"You'll be alright darlin'" Reasured Reg. Reg put a arm around Marylin and she snuggled into him.
"Have you two got something to tell us?" Investigated Sam knowing perfectly well what was going on.
"Well.. Me and Marylin are getting on well, that's all." Stammered Reg
"More than well if you ask me." Argued Des smiling
"I think how well is our business, don't you?" Said Reg trying to change the conversation
"Ohhh, Our," Said Debbie. Everyone laughed happy for them. At this point Sheelagh came tottering out of the toilets and sat down next to Des holding her stomach.
"You alright? You look a bit pale" Observed Des. Des put his arm round her and slid her into him so she was resting on him.
"Actually you look very pale if you ask me." Said Jo in her broad northern accent.
"I think there's summat wrong with me." Groaned Sheelagh tilting her head back
"Wonder what gave you that idea." Said Phil rolling his eyes.
"Shut it Phil, Sheelagh's not well. She doesn't need your smart comments." Said Sam slapping him on the arm.
"Leave it, I'm not bothered, he got a point really, that was a bit of a blonde comment." agreed Sheelagh
"Do you want me to carry you to bed, save your energy?" Asked Des. Des stroked her head, pulling her hair out of her eyes.
"You won't be able to, your shoulder remember." Objected Sheelagh shaking her head.
"I'll be fine after that massage you gave me"
"No I'll walk"
"Tough!" Des picked her up in his arms and carried her off to their tent.
"Des!" Screamed Sheelagh. Everyone laughed as he carried her away screaming as much as she could. Des lay her down in her side of the tent and lay next to her on Marylin's side.
"You get some sleep yeah, we need you tomorrow." Commented Des
"You do, what for"
"Food it's your turn to cook. Were not gonna get the points if we don't get some grub." Sheelagh laughed weakly resting her head on the pillow, trying to keep her eyes open.
"Is that all I mean to you?" Joked Sheelagh
"No, of course not. Right go on sleep tight." Des kissed her softly on the forehead and then climbed out of her section into the middle. He got changed then got into bed.
After five minutes Reg came in and got into bed next to him.
"How's Sheelagh?" whispered Reg
"Tired. How's Marylin?" Des whispered back
"Fine. You and Sheelagh are getting on well aren't you"
"So are you and Marylin?"
"Do you think… you don't think that I'm being too well… you know"
"Reg your being fine. You to are great together"
"Right, nite then"
"Nite, Reggie Babe." They turned over and went to sleep.
