You awake because of the cry of a baby again. It was the 7th time that week and it was only Wednesday. Since Robin Hoods wife died two and a half months ago, leaving the outlaw with a new born baby, you hardly slept. However, for the first time you were so done with it, that you leapt out of bed and threw some clothes on. While walking to the door you grabbed your keys and one of your old stuffed animals and ran out of the door to the Hoods household.

You gently knocked on the window to not scare robin because it was well past midnight. You almost thought that he didn't hear it and wanted to turn around to go back to bed, when the door flew open and Robin appeared with a crying infant in his arms.

'Y/n, if you came to say he needs to quiet down, I'm sorry but I can't get him to sleep' Robin said while gently rocking Roland.

'I know you can't do anything, but I'm here to help. Sometimes babies relax from a woman's touch.'

'Well that's very generous of you Y/n'

Robin steps aside to let you in. Once your inside Robin closes the door and follows you into the living area. You look around you and see that is quite cosy inside. When you turn around you see Robin with a look of amuse in his eyes.

'What's wrong?' you ask with a hint of irritation in your voice.

'Nothing, is just never saw someone so amazed by my interior' he laughs

'Well I didn't expect it this cosy' you retorted. He was after all a man.

He laughs it off and asked if you wanted to drink something.

'A cup of tea please' you say and you took Roland from his arms.

'One tea, coming up.' He says while walking into the kitchen.

You sit down on the couch with Roland in your arms. You gently lay him on your lap, when he finally calms down a bit to look up at you with his big brown eyes. He plays a while with your hand before calming down completely and slowly starting to fall asleep. When he is finally asleep you gently scoop him up again and began rocking him, until robin comes back to show you his crib.

'One cup of tea for you my fair lady' Robin says when he comes back again, with a cup in his hands.

'Ssshh, he sleeps. Can you show me his crib?'

Robin shows you Roland's crib and you gently lay him down. While you look at him for a moment, robin hood stands by your side. He puts an arm around your shoulder, while you have the feeling you are suffocating. You shake Robin off and walk back to the living room.

You sit back down on the couch and look at the clock: 4:15 am. 'I think I need to go back to bed' you say while yawning.

'Ah please stay we can talk, it's not like you have work tomorrow'

'That's true, I just lost my job but that doesn't mean I don't have anything to do'

'But what if Roland wakes up again, I don't think I can handle this alone'

'Okay I'll stay and we can talk' you sigh. He always knows how to convince you.

'What's your favourite colour?'

'What?'

'You said we would talk, so what's your favourite colour?'

"Y/f/c"

'Its suits you. mine is forest green'

'How come it didn't surprise me one bit'

You talked like that for hours. But at some point, you felt your eyes get heavier and it was hard to keep them open. You tried for as long as possible but eventually you fell asleep.
