Robert stood in the small cemetery outside the church. It was so hard to believe that both his parents were gone at the same time. But he knew that neither could have lived without the other one. So it was right that they died on the same day minutes apart. He looked up at his wife of nearly twenty years, Leah of Knighton, Robin Hood and Marian's daughter. He grinned a Gisborne had married a Locksley after all forever uniting the families.
He looked at the gravestones. All of the gang was there. His father was the last to join only a few short days after his mother. They had all wanted to be together in the end they said. They had started out enemies, and then fought for justice, and who knew what lay ahead for them. But they wanted to do it all together. Friends till the end they said. When Richard returned Robin was made permanent sheriff and Guy was pardoned for his past crimes. Much spent years searching till he found Eve and married her, Allan married a young farmers daughter and sold horses the rest of his life, Jac an Will married too having a large family. As for John his Alice returned and they lived happily together.
Robert shook his head and walked over to his wife. "Ready Leah?"
"Yes." They walked hand in hand back to their large manor. They had combined the Gisborne land to the Locksley. He couldn't have been happier. Outside their door a single rose bush grew. His mother had always called it Love, his father had called it his redemption. The red rose meant so much to both, for it was the beginning of forever.
