I realised that I had not put a disclaimer at the beginning of the story so here it is I do not own Robin Hood if I did Allan, Guy and Meg would not have died and Kate would not have gotten with Robin. I would also own Guy.
Chapter 5: Never Alone
Meg looked at Guy still not sure what had occurred the night before; he had asked her to marry him. She was to be Lady Gisborne, she smiled. She hoped that she would feel like this forever.
Guy wanted to tell Robin about the good news, he persuaded Meg that it would be a good idea for her to come to Locksley with him to tell Robin and then if Marian was not at Locksley then they would call on her on the ride home. Guy suspected that seeing Marian was the reason that Meg agreed. Since Isabella had gone, Meg had very little female company that she could speak to.
They rode to Locksley soon after they had broken their fast, mostly because Guy could not contain himself he wanted to shout it from the rooftops that he was going to marry the love of his life. Meg wrapped a shawl around her because of Guy's request of her not to get a cold. Even though she had protested it was summer and there was no way she would. 'Do it for me, love' He had told her, with a smile and with that she relented.
Locksley was quite when they arrived, which was unusual as it was well after dawn. This worried Meg maybe people thought it was the king. She then saw him a man a little older than she running through the town he had a bundle of money on his person it was obvious that this was not his. Guy had spotted him too. Meg got of her horse and ran after the man.
'Meg, come back' Guy shouted and ran after her.
Meg carried on running the man looked as if he was up to something, she caught up with him. She pinned him to the ground.
'I will take that thank you very much'
'Miss you don't understand they are for me mam she is ill' the guy replied
'Then I will give you the money but you do not steal from other families' Meg replied
Guy just arrived.
'Thank you miss but how will you pay me'
'You will work for me and my fiancé' Guy smiled, 'what is your name?'
'Allan, sir, Allan a dale' Allan replied
'Well, Allan a dale you will accompany me and Lady Meg to Locksley manor we have a friend we need to call on' Guy stated
'Yes Sir'
Meg looked at Guy she could tell he was angry at her for running off, she will deal with that later but he would forgive her; she was only trying to protect the families of Robin's people.
'Guy' Meg smiled, 'I am sorry I ran off'
'You scared me half to death' He replied flatly, as he knocked on the door of Robin's.
'I am sorry, I just could not watch' Meg touched his shoulder
'I know, but please be more careful, I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you, love' He bent down and kissed her cheek.
Robin answered the door, 'Nice to see you two too' He smiled.
'Robin' Guy laughed; Meg slightly blushed and attempted to move away from Guy, he held her closer to him.
'Come in' Robin nodded
Guy and Meg entered leaving Allan to attend to the horses. Robin told them to sit.
'Meg and I have something we have to tell you' Guy began, Robin looked up, 'we are going to be married'
'Married? Guy I did not know you had it in you' Robin shook his hand. He also bent down and gave Meg a kiss on the cheek.
'OI watch it around my fiancé or I will be telling Marian all about your fancy for her' Guy laughed
'Guy, shut up' Robin blushed
'Like Meg does not already know' Guy laughed gruffly, Robin stared at Meg, she nodded.
'You are not the most secretive person in the world' she smiled.
Meg and Guy stayed at Robin for most of the morning discussing what had been happening in Nottingham it made Meg's blood run cold with some of the things he was describing. Guy grabbed her hand seeing her distressed. As soon as the King came back the better it would be for everyone. They made their way back to the house along with Allan in the afternoon calling on Marian on the way home, Meg was worried about her, and she did not look well. Meg practically beg her to come and live with them for a few weeks which Marian agreed, Guy was to pick her up in the carriage tomorrow.
Meg had to admit that Allan was a good worker he did his job to the highest specification. Guy came through the door after he had called on Joseph his little sister Aimee had not been well, Guy had asked his physician to go and look at her.
'Hello, my love' Guy embraced Meg and kissed her neck, she let out a moan.
'What has made you so happy?' she smiled
'Can I not be happy to see the women I love?'
'Have you been drinking?'
'No, I am hurt that you think that' Guy laughed.
'So are you going to tell me what has caused this mood?'
'We are getting married'
'Yes I know that, kind of the point when you say yes to an engagement, what is up with you?' Meg sighed.
'No we are getting married, soon'
'What?' Meg laughed, 'I thought we discussed us waiting for a while'
'I do not want to wait' Guy pouted.
Meg rolled her eyes, 'Come on then when are we getting married?'
'In two weeks' Guy smiled
'Two weeks, Guy do you have any idea how long it takes to plan a wedding, I have no dress, a priest' Meg shouted
'Sssshh, Love we will have it all. I promise, I have seen a priest and he has agreed to Marry us and you and Marian can go cloth shopping for your dress to Nottingham'
Meg's head was whirling; two weeks she thought how on earth they were going to plan a wedding in two weeks. Guy was a little disappointed that she was not as excited as he was about the wedding he could not wait until Meg was his completely and that they were man and wife. Meg was excited about being with Guy and starting their life together, she was just worried that it was too quick and with what was going on in Nottingham, was it right for them to be happy.
Guy had not spoken to Meg since he had come back to the house. The silence was killing her she did not want him to think that she did not want him, because she really did.
'Guy, you think I am not excited about this wedding are you not?' Meg touched his hand
'You do not seem excited' Guy replied coldly
'If I tell you why, you will think I am a silly girl'
'I already know that dear' Meg hit his arm, 'but go on'
'I am so happy that you want me to be my wife, but I feel guilty'
'Why do you feel guilty?' Guy cocked his eyebrow
'I feel guilty because of what families are going through at the moment with the new sheriff and prince john is it right that I am blissfully happy, when people are suffering, and by getting married now I feel I am rubbing it in their faces' tears in Meg throat spilled in to her eyes
'Little one, it is not your fault that you love me, and you should not feel guilty, know that I love you and I want you to be my wife and I want to be your husband' Guy caught the tears with his hand. 'I love you' he whispered in her ear continuously.
'I love you too' Meg replied.
Guy pulled her closer to him; sitting by the fire of their house on the floor he wrapped his arms around her and rocked her gently until sleep came.
Two days later Marian was in the house staying with them. Guy had told Meg that she and Marian could go into Nottingham with Allan to go and look for material for her wedding dress. Nottingham was still a scary place.
'So Meg, two weeks' Marian smiled
'I am aware of how long it is to my wedding thanks Marian' Meg laughed
'That means you and guy will be Man and wife'
'That is the general idea' Meg poked her tongue out, 'you know Robin is going to be Guy's best man?'
'Really?' Marian spoke
'Yes say that you will be my bridesmaid' Meg asked
'I will'
'That settles it; you will need cloth as well for a dress' Meg smiled.
After nearly three hours both of the girls had their material for their dresses, Allan looked fascinated by these two ladies, how so much material could be needed for two dresses, which neither would probably wear again. His blue eyes looked at the parcels as he loaded them in the carriage, he then help Meg and Marian in to the carriage and back they went to the house.
Guy was none too pleased about letting Meg and Marian into Nottingham on their own, in these times he should be with them, but under much protest on both of the females part, who would have thought that two females could gang up on him. It was Meg's puppy dog eyes that won him over, he could not resist them. He relented and said they could go on the condition that Allan went with them. He also told Allan that if either of the girls came back harmed, he would severely be beaten. When they had been gone four hours he began to worry, how long did it take them to choose material? He started to pace the floor. Then he heard the carriage pull up, he was at the door in an instance. He helped Meg out of the carriage as Allan was helping Marian with the packages.
'Did you buy enough material?' Guy Teased
'It's not all for me, Marian has agreed to be my Bridesmaid' she smiled, she had a look in her eye.
'What are you planning?' Guy whispered
'Think about it' Meg smiled, 'Who is your best man?'
It suddenly dawned on Guy what Meg was getting at, 'you are wicked, my love'
'I am just spreading the love around they deserve to be happy too' she smiled.
Guy could not argue with that, all the time that he had seen both Robin and Marian, look longingly at each other both too afraid to tell the other, what they felt, he had to admit that Meg was right.
Guy did not see Meg very much over the next few days she and Marian locked away in her room no doubt sorting there dresses, not that Guy minded that they were excited about the wedding, but when Meg was not with him, he felt a part of him ache, it was like he was missing a piece of him, he only felt whole when she was near to him.
Two days before the wedding he received a letter from Isabella telling him that she was unable to make the wedding as her husband and her were in France for the summer.
'Typical' He muttered, his only family and she would not come to his wedding.
'What is typical love?' Meg asked
'Isabella, she cannot make the wedding'
'That is a shame, Guy' Meg replied
'She is my only family and she will not be here' He said flatly
'Guy, do not let her get you down, in two days we are to be married and then you and I will start our own family' Meg smiled wickedly.
'Really and how big do you think this family should be' Guy smiled
'Not sure yet but I want plenty of little Guy's running around' Meg laughed, 'have you not thought about it?'
'I have, I think we should have some daughters too, so they have the beauty of their mother' Guy kissed her.
Both of them went to bed eager that soon they would be able to make their dreams a reality.
