"So Cole and I, very politely, ask these good people if they would be so kind as to do us one small favour and so the little girl, bless her she was beautiful, would tell them we were hiding in the barn. So we go hide in the barn and as those dumb detectives come in we jump down shot the bastards." Mari and Jim had just finished their porridge and were sat listening.
"What about Pinkerton?" Jesse asked.
"I saw him outside but he wasn't stupid enough to come in the barn like the others. But what I wanna know is what happened with Mari and Pinkerton?" Cole said looking over at Mari.
"He left to find you and told a guard to stay with me and I just threatened him with a gun and let you out. That's all there is too it." Mari sighed.
"Well like I said before, the best damn damsel in distress we ever had is back where she belongs." Cole shouted.
"Trust me Jesse we wouldn't have been able to rescue her if it wasn't for her." Bob smiled.
"Yeh well I think we should leave those two alone as I know Mari has to tell Jim something." Cole said ushering the others out the room.
"Mari what's he talking about?" Jims said looking puzzled.
"It's nothing important." Mari sighed moving the tray from breakfast to the table by the window.
"Mari come here and tell me." Jim sighed; Mari sat down on the bed and sighed.
"I'm pregnant." She mumbled.
"So I can hear" Jim laughed.
"I'm pregnant Jim, and you're the father." She said and looked over at Jim. He just sat there gob smacked and unable to speak.
"Well … um … I don't know what to say." He mumbled.
"What are we going to do?" Mari sighed.
"Well for now you're going to stay here with me and rest."
"Fine by me" Mari smiled and cuddled up on the bed with Jim. Then Mari heard whispering at the door and tip toed over. She pulled open the door and there in door way were the four other boys.
"So any way boys as I said you can clearly see that this door is pine because of how the wood is coloured." Bob said pointing to the door.
"Ahhh" the others sighed.
"Passing on your knowledge are we Bob?" Mari smiled.
"Of course Mari, you didn't think we'd be listening to your private conversation do you?" Cole smiled.
"No of course not Cole" Mari sighed.
"So what you gonna call the baby." Bob smiled.
"Oh so you did hear then?" Mari laughed.
"So we were listening, what you gonna do?" Cole smirked
"I'll blow your head off." Mari snarled, pulling out her gun. The four boys by the door and Jim froze with confusion written across their faces, was Mari kidding or being serious, they didn't want to find out.
"BOO" Mari shouted and the four boys by the door jumped. Mari and Jim laughed.
