Chapter One- The One With The Food Chains.

"Alright then! So what is the producer in this food chain, class?"

It was a year later from where we saw them last, and Saffiyah was finally teaching. Though, of course, with hesitance. Well, it was all part of being a mother, especially a new one. Mary-Anne Scarlett was to be left with her Uncle Luke, for he adored her and claimed he was 'happy to help.' Will had come back too, and the Gang had been re-united properly. Saffiyah had definitely been missed by her students.

"The pondweed, miss!" Brian called out, grinning stupidly. Saffiyah smiled at him.

"Well done, Brian. It is in fact, pondweed. Right then, all of you, what's eating the pondweed?"

She saw, again, the majority of the class raise her hands. Skimming them, she settled for Mira.

"Yes, Mira?"

"Mayfly nymphs, Mrs Scarlett," She announced, flicking her hair over her shoulder. "And there's someone by the door, Miss."

Saffiyah glanced next to her. Will was winking at her from behind the small glass frame and she held back giggles.

"Oh…ok, thank you, Mira. Can you all please copy out the food chain diagram? The sooner you do the sooner you can all moan about how biology sucks to each other." Saffiyah smiled as they all laughed and told her that they loved biology, and she shook her head at Will whilst he entered the class.

"Mr Scarlett." Saffiyah didn't switch to her wife mode. "Can I help you?"

He grinned and the class whistled whilst they blushed. He waved a hand and they all went back to their work whilst he wondered over to his wife.

"I wish I could kiss you." He murmured quietly so no one but Saffiyah could hear. "But I'm afraid it's against the rules."

"What do you want?" But Saffiyah secretly smiled.

"You." Will grinned when she rolled her eyes. "Actually, I was wondering if you wanted to go somewhere after school. Since Dad will be free after school, Mary-Anne would be with him. So I thought it could be just you and me. Alone. At dinner." Will shot her his charming smile and she smiled wistfully back at him.

"Oh, babe," Saffiyah whispered. "I have work."

"What work? This is your first week back!"

"Exactly. I have lots to catch up on- coursework to mark, homework to deal with. I love you for thinking of this, but it's really bad timing."

"But we haven't had time together for months, Saff." Will whispered, sneaking his hand to her waist. There was a huge table in front on a small platform so Saffiyah's waist and downwards was hidden. "Please? You could do the work later, couldn't you?"

"No, I really couldn't." Saffiyah bit her lip. "I'm sorry, babe."

Will let his hand drop to his side and gave up, his expression hurt.

"Me too." He replied, turning his back and walking out. Saffiyah bit her lip as he left and hated herself for having to always be on top of things. So what if she missed one night?

But she knew it wasn't simple. She had a baby. She needed to spend time with her.

But she wanted Will too.

"RUN, DANIEL! COME ON PARKER, STEP TO IT! MARK HIM, GEOFF, MARK HIM! THAT'S RIGHT- NO, WAIT DAN! DON'T-

Too late. They had all crashed into each other.

Robin sighed. "Try again." He chucked the ball at them and they set off. He looked at the other groups, but not before Marian walked down.

"What are you doing here, miss?" Daniel yelled. Robin shook his head and walked over.

"Babe, what are you doing?" he whispered. "You're going to get us sacked."

She giggled. "I need your student, Amy. Nothing to do with you."

Robin rolled his eyes.

--

"Alrigh'!" Allan clapped enthusiastically. "Well done! Ray, get up and show us yours."

"Please, Mr Dale." She looked up at him in horror. "Make Sara do it!"

Sara rolled her eyes, and Allan winked at her before turning back to Ray.

"Aw, come on Ray Ray." He reached behind and pulled out a bar of chocolate. "Lookie what I have! If you do this performance I'll make sure I give you an A in your mid-term paper."

"That's blackmail!" a boy cried out.

Allan snorted. "Whatcha gonna do? Tell the police? Inform the president?"

They all laughed and Ray got up and opened her mouth to start, but not before there was a knock at the door.

"Sorry, Ray." Allan told her apologetically. "Righ', you lot, chat among yourselves. Ray, I'll be right back to see your performance, you may want to think about practising."

"Laura!" Allan closed the door behind him. "Interrupting my classes, now? I know I'm irresistible, but have some control!"

She smiled and kissed him quickly. Allan pulled her closer, but she broke apart from him.

"Nice try!" She giggled. "But I need to have those box of materials you took away from me for your class. Give it back."

Allan grumbled and Laura laughed when he came back with the box she was yearning for.

"Thanks, babe." She kissed his cheek. "It's obvious you thought I was here for something else."

"Yeah!" Allan rolled his eyes. "Me!"

--

Will watched Saffiyah's class exit and his wife rub out the words on the board. He received lots of 'Hello, Mr Scarlett!" and he smiled slightly and nodded as students whispered excitedly to each other. Taking a deep breath, he raised a hand and knocked.

Looking through the small window, he could see Saffiyah look at him in surprise. He opened the door and closed it after walking in, turning around to lock it. Saffiyah was taken aback by the locking.

Stepping up on the platform and walking up to her, he took the rubber from her hand and set it down on the table next to them. She opened her mouth and then closed it again when he took her hand that beforehand had the rubber in it and kissed it slowly. She closed her eyes and broke her hand away from his lips to stop him.

"Don't, Will." She whispered, clumsily stepping closer to him as he tried to kiss her, unable to control herself. Despite her words, her body wasn't agreeing with her mind. "I have work, I told you."

"Come to dinner with me," He breathed on her neck, before kissing the skin there. "We haven't had a chance like this in ages, sweetheart."

Saffiyah always weakened when he called her 'sweetheart' and Will knew it. He leant in to kiss her and she accepted, feeling him manoeuvre her backwards until they fell off the platform and he pushed her against the wall. His hands gripped her waist as his mouth explored her face and neck. She moaned and gripped his hair with her small hands as he bit off the buttons of her blouse with his teeth, revealing a hint of her breasts. He worked all the way down and then pulled down her bra, unsnapping it with his hands beforehand whist kissing her passionately. He bent his head and took her breast into his mouth before she pushed him away, breathing heavily.

"Damn it, Will!" Saffiyah quickly buttoned up her blouse and reached for her bra. "I said no!"

He sighed and watched her stuff her bra into her bag before trying to leave the room, forgetting it was locked. He walked over and took off her hand from the lock and pinned it and her to the door, breaking her blouse apart again.

"Are you telling me you'd rather mark coursework than have me do this?" Will asked, bending his head and licking her nipple quickly. Saffiyah struggled at first and then moaned as he suckled it.

"W-will," Saffiyah gasped and squirmed beneath him. "No, for god's sake!" She moaned loudly as he sunk her teeth into her breast. "Oh, damn you, Scarlett! Forget the damn coursework. Forget dinner and-fucking-take-me."

Will grinned against her breast and let it go before turning to the other one. "Dinner first." He mumbled, letting go and licking up her neck before withdrawing from her. She sighed.

"I hate you sometimes." She reached for her bag, but he took it from her and carried everything himself, excitement building up inside of him.

"I know!" He claimed cheerily. "But you only hate me when I win."

--

Robin opened the door and saw none other than Guy Gisbourne talking to Marian. He felt anger bubble up inside of him as her saw her smile back at him and nod. Robin walked down and Marian broke off their conversation to turn to Robin and smile.

"Hello," She greeted, smiling. "Ready to go?"

"'Course." Robin grinned at her before glaring at Guy. "How are you, Guy?"

"Good, thank you." Guy replied, equally cold. "You?"

"Fine." Robin snapped, before leading Marian away. "What the hell are you doing with him?"

"Robin-

"-I'm serious! Why the hell are you talking to the likes of him? He's trying to take you away from me!"

"Don't be ridiculous," Marian snapped. "He's doing nothing of the sort. Stop getting all worked up for nothing, Robin Locksley. Excuse me."

And she walked off, leaving Robin staring after her.

--

Allan ran into the art studio and kissed Laura soundly.

"Let's go!" He claimed cheerfully, getting excited. "We have lots to do-

"-You? Do work?" Laura raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't mean work!" Allan kissed her again and almost skipped out. "I was indicatin' somethin' else. Have a clue…you, me, and a bottle o' champagne. Let's hurry!"

Laura giggled.

--

Saffiyah giggled as Will quietly locked the door behind them before setting her down on the bed; shuffling in his drawers excitedly and bouncing up and down like a three year old. She smiled.

"God, Will, calm down!" She giggled more as he climbed on top of her and licked her face. "Will!"

He grinned devilishly at her and Saffiyah felt his wet mouth explore her neck whilst she squirmed. He pulled off her top and bra and Saffiyah moaned as he moved lower.

"Will!" she gasped. "T-thought you-said-we'd-do-this-after-dinner."

"Changed my mind." His lips closed around her nipple and Saffiyah moaned and ran her hands through his hair as he suckled. She felt his hands roam her body and push it further down into the mattress as he raised himself a bit off her to unzip her black skirt and push it down her legs. He then let go and moved his head to her shoulder, placing hot, wet, butterfly kisses there. She moaned and Will went on his knees, making her raise herself up on her hands, his mouth still working on her neck. Her breaths became short and erotic before-

Rnng! Rnng!

Will moaned and she smiled and pushed him off, reaching for the phone next to her. Panting, she tried to stop breathing heavily as she spoke into the phone.

"Hello?" She gasped.

"Mrs Scarlett?"

She was about to reply when Will bent his head and it went in between her thighs and to the tenderness there. She let go of the phone, feeling it fall on her stomach as Will drove her mad. Trying again, she picked up the phone shakily and put it to her ear.

"Hello? Mrs Scarlett? Hello-

"S-sorry. Who is this?"

"I'm Harry, I work for-

Saffiyah moaned accidently as Will's tongue attacked her. She tried to catch her breath, but she couldn't. Without thinking, she threw the phone away and clutched at his head. He looked up at her and grinned, his lips shining.

"You-are-a-nightmare." Saffiyah breathed, and he grinned before ducking his head to her clit again. They were in heaven for another moment, but then they heard the front door being opened.

Alarmed, they got dressed and were downstairs in a flash. Mary-Anne was giggling delightfully and crawled up to them. They both grinned and Will picked her up, tickling her.

"Hello, princess!" He kissed her cheek. "I missed you!"

She giggled more and clutched his hair. "Caba!"

Saffiyah laughed and turned to Luke. "Thanks, Luke. Didn't Dan come home then?"

"No, Dad had more work. Sorry." Luke kissed her cheek and hugged his brother. "I thought you'd both be gone, but I can see you've been up to something…"

They blushed and he kissed Mary-Anne. "Bye, gorgeous!" and she giggled as he tweaked her nose. "Love you. Sorry, you two, I would babysit more, but I have to catch my train. Bye!"

"Bye, Luke. Thanks again!" Saffiyah called, and Will waved goodbye too and turned back to the small girl in his arms.

"So, my little princess," Will cooed to her as he walked down the stairs. "Want to play with daddy? Shall we see if Teletubbies is on?"

She clapped her hands delightfully, and he led them into the room, but turned around before going further.

"Going to join us, mummy?" Will and Saffiyah called each other 'daddy' and 'mummy' to enable Mary-Anne's understanding. Saffiyah smiled sadly at them.

"I'll come, but I'm afraid I have things to do." She walked over and kissed Mary-Anne. "I missed you, darling!" And Mary-Anne held out her arms, but Will tickled her, and she turned back to her daddy to spoil her. They went into the living room and Saffiyah smiled, both sadly and happily. Upset time with her husband was cut short, but happy her little girl was home.

The question is, was she really happy that Mary-Anne was home right now?

And it was certainly looking bad if Will was thinking the same thing as he tickled his daughter whist she laughed delightfully.

"If you keep acting like this, why don't you just go off with Guy then?" Robin shouted at Marian.

"MAYBE I WILL! AT LEAST HE LIKES THE IDEA OF MARRIAGE! HE'D PROBABLY SHOW HE LOVES ME AT TIMES! AT LEAST HE'S GROWN UP! MAYBE I WILL GO OFF WITH HIM, ROBIN LOCKSLEY!"

--

"What are you doing tonight, then?"

"Oh babe. i have to meet with this Harry guy and then-

"-You don't have to meet him," Will clung to her desperately. "stay with me, with Mary-Anne. Babe, spend TIME with me!"

--

"What's this meeting for?" Allan whispered to Laura.

"Don't know, babe. that's why we're going to go." she smiled, before opening the door and gasping.

It was her ex boyfriend.
