It felt like every waking minute either Margaret or Guy had something planned for them by the sheriff, especially Guy keeping him away from the castle and away from her. Soon the weeks turned into months and as she began to grow Margaret became nervous about having the baby with the sheriff so close by.

One night Guy and Margaret lay in bed, like always she was nestled as close as she could to her husband her back to him, while he had his arms wrapped around her. She tried not to giggle as she felt the baby move and waited to see if Guy would notice. The closer she got to having the baby the lighter he slept. She was still three months away and he was already a nervous wreck around her.

He jumped when he felt the movement. "What was that?" He asked groggily looking around then down at his laughing wife.

"I believe that was Guy jr. trying to wake you up."

He grinned. "Well he better let me sleep now or his life will be miserable later on." He fake growled causing them both to laugh.

They settled back down. "How much longer?" She asked looking over at Guy who was still half awake.

"I don't know. But I want to get you out of here before the little one is born." He said gently placing a hand over her stomach.

She rested her hand on his. "I do to but it needs to be for a good reason. I don't like the plan that the sheriff has for you. He's been around to much following us like a pup dog. I don't trust him I think he knows more than he's letting on."

Guy propped himself up on his elbow. "I know. But if it is this might be our way out too."

She nodded. "I'm just worried about you leaving so soon. I don't like being left with him alone."

'I don't either. But right now I don't have much of a choice. Allan will be staying behind to help. If anything happens you are to."

She stopped him. "I know. I still will worry but I know."

The next morning she watched as Guy left with a group of soldiers to escort a load of gold back to the castle. She had a sinking feeling about the whole thing. Robin knew of the shipment, and she knew Guy was going to help secure it. She waited by the window until she heard the door open behind her.

"Up already my dear? I thought you'd still be sleeping." The sheriff smirked at her.

"I wanted to see Guy off." She said forcing a smile at him.

"Ah being the dutiful wife. How very good of you." He walked towards her a few more steps. "But not everything is what it seems now is it?" He said with a smirk looking out the window. "No nothing is, is it." And walked back out the door leaving Margaret with a cold feeling gripping her heart.

The rest of the day she saw nothing or heard nothing from the sheriff. Allan had been sent out on a number of errands she knew that, she also knew that the sheriff had posted a guard to follow her everywhere. According to him it was for her protection until Guy returned, but she knew it was to watch her and nothing more.

She crawled into bed worried that she might never see Guy again. Curling into a ball on his side of the large bed she drifted off as tears fell down her cheeks. She jumped when she felt someone shaking her. "Alan what is it?' She said groggily trying to wake up to understand what was going on.

"You have to hurry Maggie. The sheriff is coming after you he figured out Guy. Robin is ready to take you in, but do it so no thinks you know. But you have to hurry."

"What about Guy?"

"Robin is taking care of it. They'll meet us at the camp later. Guy had to take off Robin is there waiting you have to hurry. Can you do this alright on your own?" She nodded. "I'll be waiting for you outside. If anyone asks Guy sent for you urgently saying he was ill." She nodded and hurried to get dressed. Everything had fallen apart, but there was hope that they just might finally get free.

She packed a small bag of things that were important to her. She didn't have much that couldn't be replaced and met Allan outside her door. Taking her hand they hurried down the maze of back halls and out the dungeon secret escape. Outside John was waiting and quietly they hurried towards the woods. No one spoke anything but she could feel the urgency as well as the fear from them. Even the baby didn't move while they were running. She had never been so happy to see a camp in her life then at that moment she was tired, sore and scared.

Maggie sank gratefully onto the bed next to Marian. "What are we going to do master? Surely the sheriff will come hunting for her especially seeing she's." Much said gesturing towards her trying to find the right words.

Robin grinned leaning back against a post. "She's what Much?"

"Well she's, she's?"

"Much you can say it without anything happening to you. She's pregnant." Robin stood up. "Guy and I took care of it." He walked across the camp and lifted what looked like vines. "Will found it not long ago. I planned on using it for the winter. Might as well start now." He led the others inside.

They looked around the inside of the cave. Along one wall were shelves already stocked for the coming cold months. Blankets were stacked high in a corner near a stack of fire wood. Portions of the cave had been sectioned off. "What are those for?" Jaq asked.

"So we all can have privacy this winter." Robin winked at Marian who ignored him. "Guy will join us later tonight. Why don't we try and get some rest and I'll keep an eye out."

Maggie sank gratefully onto a bed that John made her. She was exhausted and worried, but soon her body took over her mind and she fell asleep.

Marian watched from a distance as the others soon found their places and stood beside Robin. "How bad is it really Robin?'

He sighed and looked at her. "Not good. The whole thing was a trap. Guy took off as fast as possible and I hope he makes it back."

"If he doesn't?" Robin shook his head.

"I can't think about it right now. I promised I'd take care of her and that is what I'm going to do."

Margaret jerked awake when a cold hand touched hers turning over she found Guy tiredly smiling at her. "Guy!" She threw her arms around him clinging to him crying.

He held her trying to quiet her telling her he was fine just sore from the ride. He felt her shiver against him and quickly pulled all the blankets up around her shoulders as they sat against he wall. She hadn't let go of him yet, "It's all over Maggie I promise." He said quietly holding her tight to his chest.

"It won't be over till he's gone." She said quietly hoping no one had woken up, Robin was still standing at the door his back turned to them for some sort of privacy.

"I know but he will be soon enough I promise."

"At least he won't be around for the baby." She said quietly.

Guy nodded even though she couldn't see him. "Are you alright?"

"I am now."
