A/N: Robin Hood last night – oh my.

Anyway, on with the show…..

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

As the outlaws approached the road they saw Robin was standing by a cart with a heavily pregnant young woman in the back. Allan summed up all their thoughts when he spoke.

"What's going on?"

"We're taking her to the camp,"

"Our camp?" John was incredulous.

"This is Rosa, Matilda's daughter." Robin spoke as if this would explain everything.

"So much for it being secret," Allan's attempt at a light hearted comment only seemed to anger Robin more.

"So much for a lot of things being secret," he turned to Djaq who had climbed into the cart to look at Rosa. "Djaq – the baby's the wrong way round."

"Do you know how to turn it?"

Djaq looked down into Rosa's pleading eyes before taking a deep breath and trying to smile.

"Let's get you to a bed, shall we?"

"You don't do you?" Rosa's question was purely rhetorical, she already knew the answer.

John stepped forward to lift her from the cart and Robin moved back, turning to Ava.

"Ava?"

"My mum died when I was born – all male family, sorry."

Robin sighed; they would just have to trust Djaq's instincts.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

As John lay Rosa gently down back at the camp the others barred Robin's entrance.

"We need to know who the traitor is," Will was looking him dead in the eye but Robin turned to Much in exasperation.

"I'm sorry! Not the kind of secret I can keep!" Much seemed to think this proved his integrity, and perhaps it did.

"Let's just deal with Rosa first," Robin thought to brush the matter aside but he would have no such luck.

"Tell us Robin," John thundered.

"Robin, there'll be people like Rosa who need our help everyday. But if we're not a gang, if you suspect us – " Will was angry, Ava could see that even though he wasn't shouting. It seemed his reaction to the news was defiant while Ava's was more deeply sad than anything.

"Alright. It's true. One of you is betraying us. You're meeting Gisborne and selling our secrets."

Robin admitting it seemed like the final blow and Ava felt her gaze slide from Will to Allan as there was a chorus of protests.

"Stop this now! If the guilty man or woman confesses right here I'll listen. Tell me what Gisborne said, what he offered. Step forward now. You have one chance."

There was silence. Ava's eyes pleaded Allan step forward, though she also wanted to beg him not to and so not mark himself as guilty, but he wasn't watching her. Much suddenly snapped,

"I will not be treated with equal suspicion!"

And he stormed away. The others stared back at Robin without flinching.

"Well, whoever you are, you've made your choice. And I will find you out."

He passed between them and into the camp.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Time passed and they all found an occupation, though their application to it was desultory except for Djaq who was worrying over Rosa. Ava had tried to help but was so worried that her complete lack of any medical experience coupled with her natural clumsiness and her worry over Allan would result in her making Rosa feel worse. She was happy to return to the kitchen and leave John to take her place.

She made some sustaining food and gave Allan a plate for Djaq, refusing to meet his gaze, scared of what she would see. When he returned for his own serving she risked a glance and saw him looking remarkably subdued.

The camp was silent apart from Rosa's agonized cries. All the men, except John, moved as far away as possible while still remaining in the camp, gathering around the outside fire. Djaq and John tended the young woman and Ava sat in the camp's entrance in case she was needed.

Robin was frowning at the fire thinking over everything that happened recently in search of clues and Much spent his time sending him furtive glances. Allan was staring at the ground, shifting from foot to foot. Will was sitting in such a way, and with enough worried glances in Rosa's direction, that clearly indicated that his ready sympathies had been raised for the girl.

Ava sighed; this was not how their lives were supposed to be.

"Robin!"

A shout rang out and they could clearly hear the sound of galloping hooves. Robin was on his feet in seconds, recognizing Marian's voice, and dashing away.

The others also stirred themselves and began making preparations to leave. Djaq dashed past them to shout to Robin that the baby was coming. He returned behind her, looking harassed.

"Matilda needs us," he announced, walking towards where Rosa was lying. "Djaq, you stay with Rosa, everyone else with me, now."

"What's happened?" The worry in Robin's voice was infectious and Rosa sat up to try and find out what was going on.

"The Sheriff," Robin's explanation seemed to make her more scared than ever, she turned to John.

"John, can you stay?"

The big man had obviously made an impression. He turned for Robin's brief nod of approval before agreeing.

The others dashed from the camp and found horses. It was moments for them to swing themselves into the saddle and gallop off towards Locksley.

A/N: I know, another short one, they sort of write themselves I'm afraid and all the dialogue huge sigh. Please review anyway and I'll update soon to try and make up for it! x
