Luke watched as Djaq checked over the now fully awake Dalla. The sight of her wounded shoulder made in recoil in horror. Dalla laughed at him.

"You think this is bad, you should have seen it first time round."

"Luke can you please leave the room?" Asked Djaq. "Somehow I don't think you'll want to see this."

"No please let me stay I don't want to leave her" Luke pleaded

"Lukie please go I don't want you to see this" Dalla pleaded back.

"Very well" Luke said as he got up to leave.

"And can you please get Allan? I need his help" Asked Djaq. Luke just nodded.

Luke walked into his brother's kitchen where Will and Allan were talking.

"Allan Djaq needs you're help" Luke interrupted

"Ok" Allan said as he got up and walked towards the door and slipped inside the bedroom.

"Will?" Asked Luke in a tiny voice

"Yeah" Will looked up from the wood he was carving.

"Dalla will be ok won't she?" He was close to tears "I can't lose her again" He gave into the tears and they fell freely down his face. Will pulled his brother into a comforting embrace.

"I'm sure she'll be fine, after all Djaq is a miracle worker" Will whispered in to his little brother's hair. Luke flinched as Dalla cried out in pain shortly followed by Allan saying something about not squeezing his hand so tightly. "Just don't worry" Will went on soothing his distraught brother.

"Djaq said something about an old wound" Luke admitted "and than an infection may have spread." Just then Allan emerged out of the bedroom.

"You can go and see her now" He said patting Luke on the back. Luke just nodded and walked to the bedroom.

He found Dalla sitting up in the bed wearing a blood stained shirt and having a conversation with Djaq.

"Djaq you've saved my life and I cannot pay you for it, recent events have led to the fact that my mother's horde was stolen." Dalla informed her voice full of regret.

"Dalla you are a friend and I never ask for money any way." Djaq replied

"Still maybe there is another way I can repay you? Luke tells me you only have experience treating wounds on the battle field and not much experience dealing with women's health."

"That's correct" Returned a rather confused Saracen.

"Well My mother was a midwife and was training me to be one as well, amongst other things. If you ever need help in any matter to do with your pregnancy I would be happy to help. It's the least I can do."

"That would be great I was going to have to pay an old wise woman to help me, But I'd rather be treated by someone I trust." The two woman had built a strong bond over the few Weeks Dalla had been in Locksley. Mainly due to the fact that both had different religions to the Christian one of the village. "By the way if you want you can go home now and recover there.

"Oh yes please" Replied a rather exited Dalla.

"Well you know where I an if you need me"

"Thank you Djaq" Said Dalla as she gave Djaq a bear hug. "Luke please take me home now." On the way out Dalla stopped to thank Allan for his help and will for letting her stay in his house. Then she and Luke went home for her to recover and foe Luke to ask some pressing questions.

Right there we go another chapter done let me know what you think. Cheers Vogonz
