Robin and Maria
By Samhoku
I do not own them. Thanks for the reviews. I am working on getting the chapters longer again, might take a bit however. I don't describe sexual situations. The T rating is for safety.
Reviewers: Excellent names, thank you. Keep suggesting them, I will definitely choose a name from my reviewers lists. If you wish to PM me a long list I will not object.

Chapter
When Robin finally woke up he saw that Keith and Sir Benjamin were playing chess while Loveday and Maria were discussing baby names. Josie had a stuffed animal on her lap and was petting it. Robin gently set his daughter on the chair as he stood up to move. Loveday smiled at Robin and said, "You have decided to join us, Welcome to the land of the living."
Sir Benjamin showed Keith the Bishop, "Now, how do we remember this man?"
"The frowny man." Keith said with a smile. Sir Benjamin nodded once and said, "And he walks how?"
"Like Daddy does if he has one too many beers."
Robin's head snapped around and he looked at Sir Benjamin. The older man shook with laughter, obviously pleased with himself for teaching Keith this piece of information.
Sir Benjamin managed to choke out, "Excellent, Keith, Excellent. Now, how does the King move?"
"Like Mommy does when she is pregnant."
"And the Queen?"
"When Aunt Loveday cleans the house."
"The Knight?"
"Isn't that you, Uncle Benjamin?"
Sir Benjamin chuckled, "Yes, Child. Now, the Rook?"
"Josie. Because Josie is our castle and one of the most important pieces."
"And this is the battle between?"
"The two families who are now united." Keith said as he played with the pawns.
"And who are the pawns?"
"The children who have to protect the parents from their own folly."
Sir. Benjamin chuckled then moved a pawn forward, completely unprepared for the child's next question.
"If the children are so important, then why are they on the front lines?" Keith asked absent minded, moving one of his own pawns, "Wouldn't you want to keep them safe?"
Sir Benjamin looked a little sad, "One would think so. But unfortunately that isn't always the way it works."
Robin smiled a bit and looked over at his wife. Maria was too deep in conversation to notice. Loveday had heard Sir Benjamin, but she had known that Keith and the older man had deep conversations.
