AN: Nothing really happens in this chapter just a bit of fluff because I'm a hopeless romantic. The story is finished although this last bit may have inspired something else. I'm quite proud of myself since I actually finished something. Now if I could just finish a novel I would be doing really good. Anyway I hope everyone has enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

After the wedding, the gang and Edward went back to camp for a small celebration. Since fall was here and the nights were getting colder the gang had settled in a cave further in the forest than the one Robin and Marian had almost died in.

After the feast and plenty of toasting the gang with the exception of Will and John escorted Edward safely to the edge of the forest. Edward looked at his daughter and Robin who were standing close holding hands. He couldn't help smiling. He stepped up to her. "I have never seen you look happier. You too, Robin. You have always been like a son to me. I love you both so please be careful."

"We will"

"You better be own your way, sir if you want to make it back at a reasonable hour." Edward hugged his daughter and shook Robin's hand before heading off.

When the gang made it back they found Will and John working on something in one of the small chambers in the cave. Robin looked at Will questionably.

"We are building a door to go on there so you two can have privacy. And we found a mattress of sorts so you won't have to sleep on hard rock. We should be finished by the time you get back"

Marian looked at Robin. "Where are we going?"

Robin smiled at her. "Somewhere special so we can celebrate our marriage alone for a few days." Marian blushed.

Will spoke up again nervously this time. "Me and Djaq were wondering if when you get back would you mind marrying us?"

Much spoke up. "That's a good idea maybe you could marry Eve and I while you are at it"

Robin chuckled at his friends enthusiasm. "Be glad to. Thank you for your gift but right now I want to go be alone with my wife if you do not object."

"No. Not at all."

Robin grabbed Marian's hand, what was left of their feast, and some blankets before exiting the cave. Once outside he smiled an idea coming to him. He pointed ahead of him. "I am going in this direction."

Marian smiled pointing the same way. "I am going in that direction also"

"Always the same direction?"

"From now on"

Robin kissed her quickly before continuing on refusing to give Marian hints to where they were headed. Finally they reached their destination and Marian gasped at the beauty of the place. Down a slight incline was an idyllic meadow between the trees with a stream running through it. "It's beautiful"

"Not as beautiful as you. Come on."

Marian followed him down and helped ready their camp and get a fire started. Then they sat down upon the blankets and Robin got the wine out. "A toast to you, Marian who I have always loved. You have managed to push the shadows of war away and brought me a peace I have not felt in years."

Marian smiled. "To you, Robin who I never stopped loving even when I hated you the most. I was a fool to think for even a moment of a life without you."

Robin waited until she had drank the wine then took the glass from her and set it aside before pulling her into his arms. "You have no idea how hard it has been to keep my hands off you all day"

"Probably about as hard as it has been for me"

Robin chuckled before pushing her down on the blankets. Only the stars were witness as the lord and lady of Sherwood celebrated their marriage.

Robin lay awake for quite some time after Marian had drifted off just enjoying the moment. His wife lay securely in his arms. His wife. He never thought this day would come. He kissed her forehead smiling when she snuggled closer to him in her sleep and let the peace he was feeling lull him to sleep. As he slept he dreamt of the future.

He was walking through Locksley smiling at the happy faces of the villagers, going home after a day at court. When he entered the manor he was nearly knocked down by the children: a girl about three whom they had named Sophia after the woman who had saved both her parents lives and a boy about five. The boy was chasing his sister with a toy sword.

Marian came down the stairs looking thoroughly frustrated. "Edward stop tormenting your sister" She smiled when she saw Robin and walked over to him.

He put his arm around her and watched his children. "Reminds you of us do they not?"

"Unfortunately, which means we have quite a problem on our hands"

"I don't know. We did not get in that much trouble as kids"

Marian laughed. "That, dear husband, is because we never got caught at half the things we did. How has your day been?"

He smiled lovingly at her. "Much better now" He leaned down to kiss her. They were forced apart by a crash followed by their son crying. Apparently Sophia had launched her toy wooden horse at her brother cracking him in the nose.

Robin laughed. "Now, she definitely takes after you"

"I do not know that that is a good thing."

They were awoken by the sunlight streaming through the trees the next morning. Marian leaned up kissing his jaw. "Morning"

"Morning" He let a few more peaceful moments pass. "You hungry? I could go fetch some berries if you want"

Marian smiled at him. "That sounds nice"

Robin got up doing his best to ignore Marian's admiring gaze of his naked body and dressing quickly before kneeling down to kiss her. After a few moments Marian murmured against his lips. "Robin breakfast."

He reluctantly pulled back from her. "Right. I love you."

"I love you too." Marian watched as her husband exited their camp smiling. Her family lands were lost possibly forever and she was living in the forest in constant danger but her life in this moment seemed perfect. They had certainly taken the long road getting here but they were finally going in the same direction for good this time. It felt marvelous. She knew that whatever their future held they would be alright so long as they had each other.
