Right I know in the past chapters Alice and John had only just met but I'm going to change it so that there already married. Sorry it just goes better with the story. Thank you x

It had been two weeks since the fire at Marians flat and Sarah had been arrested. Marian had spoke to the police and told them what had happened. She was told there would be a court case and she would be called as a witness. But that wasn't for a couple of months while they collected all the evidence. Most things had been destroyed by the fire but a few things had been saved. Unfortunately all of Marian teaching plans had been destroyed; she was lucky enough that most of her plans were her laptop which luckily wasn't destroyed in the fire. It seemed her bedroom was the least hit place in the house. For the past two weeks Marian had been staying with Katie. It felt like they were back in university sharing a room again. Robin had barely left her for the two weeks but however today she hadn't seen him all day and she was becoming suspicious. Katie wasn't helping because she had a stupid smile on her face that meant she knew something that Marian didn't. But every time Marian asked Katie would avoid it. Marian gave up and figured she'd find out soon enough. About an hour later Robin appeared with a smile on his face and Marian was even more worried about what was going on. Robin came and sat next to Marian and turned to watch the TV. Marian couldn't take it anymore she needed to know what was going on.

"Okay if someone doesn't tell me right now what the hell is going on I'm going to be extremely mad!" Marian exclaimed

"What do you mean?" Katie acted clueless

"You have had that smile on your face all day that I know means you know something you cant tell me" She turned to Robin "And you have been gone for the whole day when for the past two weeks I've been trying to get you to go out without me. So somebody better tell me what's going on or somebody's going to get hurt."

"Okay I'll show you but you have to promise not to get upset" Robin said standing up

"Now I'm worried" Marian replied "But fine"

"Come on then" Robin stated standing up and pulling Marian with him.

Robin led her out to his car and she got in. Robin jumped into the drivers seat with a massive smile on his face. He couldn't wait to show her what he'd been working for weeks. He stayed silent the whole trip and he could see Marian was completely clueless. He was actually surprised he'd been able to keep this from her. He knew that she would take this one of two ways. She would either be extremely touched and jump into his arms and kiss him or she will start shouting and screaming about the amount of money he's spent and then walk out and demand for him to undo all of it. Robin was hoping for the first choice but he knew Marian well enough to know that it was more likely the latter. But I a guy can dream right!

They pulled up to a building and Robin jumped out and run round to her door to help her out being the gentleman he is. She gave him a very confused look and he just smiled pulling her along into the building. Robin pulled her over to an elevator but not before smiling at the woman at the reception desk. Once in the elevator and Marian turned on Robin.

"Robin why the hell are we here? And exactly what is here?" Marian questioned

"Will you just be patient you'll see in just a minute?" Robin grinned literally bouncing on his spot.

The elevator dinged and the doors opened. There was a gate in front of them and Robin typed in a code and then lifted it up. As soon as it was out of the way all Marian could do was gape. In front of her was a open space living room. With a kitchen attached to it. It was massive. To the left she could see a wide screen TV on the wall with chairs and sofa's opposite it. To her left was the kitchen that looked good enough for a top chef. Then straight in front of her was a line of windows that looked over the Nottingham. To the far left was a beautiful black grand piano just waiting to be played. She didn't know what to say so she just looked at the man standing beside her who had an amazing smile on his face.

"Robin, who lives here?" Marian was scared to ask

"That would be me. Marian I'd like to welcome to you to my new apartment and hopefully you're temporary home" Robin replied looking hopeful. "But before you start freaking out I had brought this place before the fire and I just getting it sorted it out and then the fire happened and after all the worrying I realized you'd need somewhere to stay not that I don't love staying at Katie's with you but we need our own place and well I just thought I'd finish off this place and then we can live here till your flats all sorted out again or maybe you could just like live with me" Robin rambled and the murmured the last part. Marian just starred back at him taking in all the information. "Please say something Marian"

"Err.. You want me to move in with you?" Marian asked in a sort of daze

"Well yeah. Why not we basically live with each other as it is but I understand if you don't want to I mean we've only being going out for…" Robin was interrupted by Marian jumping on him and kissing him.

"You are amazing!" Marian exclaimed

"So is that a yes?" Robin grinned

"Of course it is!" Marian smiled "Yes! Yes a thousand times yes!" Marian shouted

"Come on let me show you around our new home" Robin told her dragging her off to show her the rest of the house.

Robin took her to the far side of the room where there was a door way that lead to a passageway of doors. Each room held different things. The first door on the right held a guest bed. The first door on the left held the second bathroom. The next room on the right was the office this is where Marian could do all her school work and Robin could take business calls. The room opposite held a lot of instruments and a sofa. Robin explained that it was his writing room but Marian was welcome to use it whenever she wanted. Finally the door at the end of the hallway held the main bedroom. There was a king sized bed against the back walk that was all windows. Apparently they were the windows that you could see out of but the people on the outside couldn't see back in. To the left of the room was the on suite bathroom. Then to the right was the walkthrough wardrobe. Marian was amazed by all of it. It was like her dream home.

"So you like it?" Robin asked

"Nope, I love it! It's amazing!" Marian grinned "But you know what it needs. Photos! It feels so unlived in at the moment we need to make it look like a home not a show house. And I know just the people to help us" Marian smiled

oOo

Two days later Marian was sat in the living room of her new home with her girls waiting for the boys to bring everything up they would need to make this apartment a home. As soon as the elevator dinged the girls jumped up and ran over letting them in. All the boys had stacks of boxes filled with things to make the apartment more home like. With the boxes placed down the girl shoed the boys out of the apartment as they had a press conference and they wanted it to be a surprise for the boys when they got back.

"Robin I'm so going to laugh if we come back and they've turned this into a chick pad!" Alan laughed

"Marian wouldn't do that to me" Robin replied looking at Marian to confirm it.

"You'll just have to wait and see won't you now go your going to be late!" Marian told him pushing them into the elevator and pressing the button.

"Okay so where to put the pink rug?" Katie shouted so the boys would hear.

With the boys gone the girls set to work of unloading the boxes. Some of the boxes held Marian clothes and things that weren't burnt in the fire. Then there was the stuff that Marian had got done especially for the apartment. Like the massive poster of the boys from one of there many photo shots. Marian had gone through all of Robin's stuff when he was out one day and found a photo of the gang in high school and couldn't help but get it enlarged and placed it on the shelf in the living room. Next to it was a photo of the girls from high school it seemed only fair. Then in the middle was a photo of the group of them they had done on opening night of Hannah's club. They added photos everywhere and added flowers and things that made the apartment look more like a home. After a couple of hours of moving things around the girls stopped for lunch and put on the TV to watch the Press conference. They girls were all sat on the sofa and floor waiting for the conference to start. Then the boys walked out and took there seats. You could hear the girls screaming at the boys declaring there love for them. There were even marriage proposals. The girls couldn't help but laugh at this. Once they were seated Much stood up to address the crowd.

"Hey everyone. I'm glad you could all make it out to show your support for the gang here. Will take questions one at a time thank you" Much exclaimed. One by one questioned were asked about the band and there songs. "Yes you in the front"

"What are the band planning on doing now that the tour is over? Do you plan to stay in Nottingham? Or move to some place like London where it is easier to record and sell music?" The reporter asked

"We plan to stay in Nottingham because we grew up here and we love the place. Family is in Nottingham as are our friends. As for the recording we made our first Album here so we don't see why we can't make this latest one here." Much replied

"When you say friends are closer here could it be more to do with the fact that you have romantic interests here. I mean you've all been seen with some ladies and photos taken with some. Even in Spain these same ladies seem to be appearing. So who are these girls' flings or posse's? Or has the famous outlaws decided to maybe settle down for a bit?" the same reported asked

"We don't wish to discuss our personal lives with the press at this moment and as for the girls in the photos we have found a great lot of friends. We will have to talk with the ladies about if they are ready to be put in the spot light that we are in." Robin answered

"Why doesn't he just say yes that we are in a romantic relationship?" Marian asked

"He wants you to say it's alright first." Katie replied

"Girls who fancy's a trip to Nottingham castle?" Marian said standing up "Cause I think its time that the world know that the Outlaws are taken?"

"Oh hell yeah" Djaq stood up

"What are we waiting for?" Hannah said standing up.

With that the girls walked out the house and jumped into Hannah's car. It took them only 5 minutes to arrive at the castle. They parked the car and jumped out putting on there sunglasses. The press conference was taking a 5 minute break giving the girls the perfect chance to find the boys. Katie had already texted Carter who was waiting for them when they got to the security guards. They followed Carter to find the boys sitting in a dressing room.

"Hey Guys you got visitors" Carter smiled walking in

"Hey girls what are you doing here? We thought you were busy making Robin's place a chick pad." Alan smirked

"Well we were but we stopped to watch the press conference and we heard them asking about us and how you didn't quite know how to answer them. So were here to say its fine to tell them about us" Marian stated standing with the girls who all nodded there heads.

"Wow! Back up girls! We weren't telling them about you not because we don't want to. I mean I would love to shout out to them that I'm dating Marian but your lives will never be the same once they find out." Robin stated

"It will be even worse though if we don't. I mean do you really think the press is just going to be 'Oh okay they won't tell us will give them there privacy'! Of course not! There going to follow you around until they get that shot of you with one of us! Then it really will get crazy when were not prepared. This way we choose when they find out about us." Djaq replied

"Djaq's right. This way we have control of the press not the other way around. If we tell them what they want to know now then they won't make up lies about us later" Marian stated

"Are you guys sure about this? Your lives are going to get crazy for a bit" Will asked

"Well it's bound to happen at some point but after everything I've been through I think I can handle this." Marian smiled

"Well then its settle lets go introduce our girls" Robin grinned putting his arm around Marian's waist.

They walked back over to the tables where the press conference was taking place. The guys told them to add some more seats for the girls. They boys were going to sit down first and then one by one they would introduce the girls so each could have the questions out the way. Djaq was up first then Hannah then Eve and finally Marian.

When they got back to the stage and the boys were settled Much stood up and quieted down every one "Okay once again thank you for coming out. The second part of conference will begin now. In the interval we have talked over your questions about the personal life of the band and have decided that it is alright for you to know a bit about the relationships that are going on with the gang. So first up Will" Much signaled to Will who stood up

"Well, I guess I should start by introducing my girlfriend Djaq come out here would you." Will smiled as Djaq walked onto the stage and over to him to give him a hug. One by one each girl was called onto the stage by there respected partner. Once they were all seated the press went wild shouting out questions.

Robin stood up then putting a hand up to silence them before he spoke "I know your all got questions you want answered but the one question that needs to be answered before we ask all the others is how did we meet these beautiful ladies that sit with us. Well that would be my entire fault" The press laughed "You see ladies and gentleman I was taking a tour of Nottingham on my first day back…." And so Robin told them of the story of how the gang met and everyone added there bits. Soon the whole story was told to the point where there holiday in Spain ended.

"Robin, a couple of weeks ago you were at a concert but none of you guys turned up for a signing because of an emergency can you tell us about that?" A reporter asked

"Well at this time I can't say much about what happened but I can tell you someone I care about deeply was affected by something in my life that caused them to be in danger." Robin explained

"We heard that your ex-girlfriend Sarah has been arrested for attempted murder? Does this have something to do with you missing the signing?" Another reporter asked

"I want to make this clear now that I have never nor ever will have a relationship with Sarah. She is an unstable person and I am willing to help her in anyway possible but I can not help her if she continues to try and harm my family and friends." Robin told them seriously

"Marian we just got news that your flat was recently in fire is this what Robin mean by Sarah being unstable?" The same reporter asked

"Look you lot you seem to have all the information and I know you'll probably turn this into a whole I'm a victim and that but I'm not. I'm lucky that I have such good friends and family all around me. Sarah isn't as lucky and we are going to do everything we can to help her and make sure she doesn't harm anyone else that either of us cares about."

Robin turned to her and smiled at her speech. He couldn't help but fall more and more for this girl. Sarah had almost killed her and she was willing to offer to help her. Robin couldn't help but kiss her right in front of everyone. He didn't care he wanted the whole world to know he was in love with this girl. Now all he needed to do was tell her.
