Caught with an outlaw in your bed.

Set post episode 2:10, Robin visits Marian in the castle one night but nothing goes according to plan. Now Marian's secret is out and they must suffer Guy's wrath.

I have so many ideas of how Guy and the Sheriff uncover Marian's deception and I've read so little stories about it I had to write one for myself. This is my first ever multi chapter fanfic and would love any constructive criticism. I am aware how terrible my spelling is, sorry and my grammars quite bad as well so sorry again. On with the story.

- I own nothing.

Chapter 1-Rudely Interrupted

Marian stirred, sure she had heard someone knocking but as she sleepily propped herself up there was nothing was obvious. A creaking from her wardrobe made her look around, sunlight streamed in through the newly repaired window and cast long shadows around her chamber. Aside from hairpins, dresses and her writing box (all returned to her by Guy upon her "rescue" from the tree) there was not very much in the room.

Marian sighed in relief that there was no evidence a maid had entered her room while she slept, to clean or deliver food as they often did in the mornings.It was so careless of them, dangerous for them to have fallen asleep together she new but the warmth and comfort of being cradled in each others arms had won the battle with reason and fear. God if Robin ever new just how much she loved to be wrapped in his strong arms his head would swell to twice in original size. Concluding never to mention it to him Marian rolled over.

Propped up on to her side Marian turned back to the sleeping form of Robin, hair messed and one arm still draped across her waist he looked peaceful and at ease, a look she was certain had not graced his features for some time.

When he had climbed through her window the night before, Marian desperate to see him having had no contact with the outlaw since he had glided from the tree two days ago, had thrown herself into his arms and not let go. A cold English night encroaching there conversation interrupted at regular intervals by kisses had ended them lying side by side snuggled into Marians bed (fully clothed mind you) and Even though they both new Robin needed to leave that thought was never voiced nor acted on. Marian had wondered vaguely as she began to dose of what Robins men must think of her since she had let him stay all night however unlike most nights where Marian lay awake thinking yesterday she simply let the thought slide as darkness claimed her.

Making an executive decision that Robin needed to wake up Marian gently pressed her lips to his. She pulled back and Robin's eyes fluttered open and he ginned up at her "this is a much nicer way to be woken then Much's complaints".

"Or his singing" Marian joked smiling down at him, her smile faltered just for a second and this slip did not go unnoticed by robin.

"What" Robin whispered running the back of his hand down her cheek. Marian signed she could not hide from him, just as he claimed she could see into his sole Marian new he could see straight into hers, though she wished she could hide, these words would only hurt him, Marian new he still felt guilt for leaving to go to war.

"I just thought that if things were different this, us together and happy might not be so uncommon" If things were different Marian had tried to word it to soften the blow but she new Robin hadn't missed what she was referring to.

Robins eye were downcast "I'm sorry, if I could go back you must know I would, I would never have left to fight" He muttered sadness and regret filled his voice

"I do know, I'm sorry too but were together now, fighting for each other, the nightwatchman and Robin Hood fighting together" Marian told him "who would be brave or foolish enough to stand against that kind of team" She ended sounding as upbeat as possible and was relieved to hear Robin chuckle

"Yet so much does stand against us and between us, Gisborne, The Sheriff, even the walls of this castle" he waved his arm to indicate her bedroom walls, his voice was half sorrow, half mocking joy .

"These walls and the sheriff only stand between us physically we are together in sprit" Marian told Robin gently

"And Gisborne" Robin voice was steady but only just

"He means nothing he does not stand between us at all" Marian said forcefully. And she meant it they were engaged now and she knew she no longer needed to defend guy as an attempt to cover her own foolhardy judgements. Robins face light up at Marian's words.

"Really" he sounded hopefully albeit a little fearful like a child afraid Marian was about to take away a wonderful gift.

"Of course Robin how could you think anything else we are getting married aren't we the happiness I feel knowing that the barriers between us are gone Robin ther are know words." Marian placed a hand a each a Robins warm, scruffy cheeks "there is no one else Robin, I lo..." Marian was cut off.

A deafening a crash and a gut wrenching cry filled the couples ears, Marian was not often afraid but the sight that greeted her made her blood run cold.
