' Witch come back here,' cried Robin as he felt
his stomach kick again,' King Richard is on his
return run witcg run for your life doing this to me.'

' Easy Robin, you have nine months of this to go
through,' explained Marion as she helped him lay
on a bail of hay .
 

' Nine months,' exclaimed Robin,' Unless the witch
did something feels like two months .'
 

' No one knows exactly Robin, baby birth is a new
science even the Sheriff's people don't know but I
can say this I never seen any man give birth,that
witch really must hate you Robin,besides all we in
fact got right now is Sherwood,'
 

' Oh,' cried Robin as he threw up next to the hay .
 

'  What Robin,' said Marion trying too make Robin
comfortable as she could, Marion never had a child
and she only knew from watching others what it was
like too have one . The Sheriff's nana or nanny had
one but those that helped her were not as comforting
as Marion was ,
 

' I just remembered Lil John and the other men are
going to be back by tonight from gathering more gold
and food for us, I know I never hear the end of this from
Lil John ,please explain to them what happened .'
 

' It won't be bad Robin,' she couldn't help but laugh,' I
won't let anyone make any jokes about you having this
baby,its going to be great,and King Richard and Lil John
will no doubt go after the witch for you to make her reve-
rse this spell, hopefully before the baby is born.'
 

Robin threw up again as Marion wiped his forehead down
as the sun was just going down Marion told Robin to sleep
and he laid on the bail of hay Marion next to him . 
 

The witch whose name was Sarah Oply ran to the Sheriff
excited about what she did and accomplished in her own
right and she saw him talking to a local blacksmith .
 

' I told you never talk to me in public Sarah can't you see
I'm taking this man's taxes for this week,' why are you so
happy? ' he asked her as he took the tax money and both
of them turned walking away, the Sheriff no doubt heading
toward his next tax victim. 
 

' I did it,I put a spell on Robin ,in six months he's going to be
a mother,' she laughed explaining to the Sheriff what she did.
 

' Oh to be there and see the look on his face,you said six then
said six months I guess I better buy the expectant mother lets
say a gift ,' he laughed smiling at Sarah,even now she did not
look so ugly after what she did.
 

' Here this bag of gold is yours,' he handed her the bag,' That
made my day, Robin Hood,' mother too be ,' he laughed .
 

Even now Robin was not finding any of this funny at all. The
baby kicked again ,not letting Robin sleep .Marion wondered
how do you counter act a spell,especially if it comes under a
casting of black magic or the occult .
 

Marion hope Richard would be back soon maybe his own 
witch doctor she knew the king had but he was one of those
few that use his spell's for good that's why Richard wanted
him as a matter of fact .And as such the king had been king
for a long time now too. 
 

' Robin you'll make a wonderful mother,' is all Marion could
say to Robin right now . 
 

' Shuddup Marion and let me know when Lil John is here
I think I know how too get out of this .'
 

Marion didn't like the sound of this .
