The next two days, in Meryton, were surprisingly good. Things seemed to be going smoothly even though everything about Pride and Prejudice, that Jane Austen wrote, was all mixed up. Mind you, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy did get married, like in the book, except under the wrong cercumstances. Jane and Mr. Bingly seemed to be spending more time together and if they were to get married then at least that would be correct from the book. It was difficult for me to keep my composure around Mr. Darcy because all I wanted to do was snog his face off whenever he was around me.

On this sunny, but chilly, spring morning, Kitty and I were out for a walk through an apple orchard close by.

"Miss Price, do you think I will ever get married?"

I couldn't help but grin at that question.

"Kitty, there is no hurry. You're only sixteen."

She giggled.

"Oh Miss Price, you're silly. Sixteen is a marriageable age. All girls my age are married now."

"Well, don't forget that incident last year when you ran away with Mr Bingly. That greatly affected mother and now she is probably holding off at letting you get married."

"I suppose you're right, but do you think I will ever find a decent man to marry?"

I patted her shoulder gently and nodded confidently.

"Of course you will, Kitty. You're a pretty and smart young lady and I bet any man would be lucky to have you as his wife."

Kitty smiled proudly and then she stopped walking and embraced me. I was surprised by this but I accepted the embrace and smiled.

"I am happy to have you here again Miss Price. Your presence among me and my sisters was greatly missed. Mama missed your presence too, but you know how she is."

"Too stubborn and proud to admit it."

Kitty and I laughed together and continued to walk. When we arrived back at the house around noon, which was lunch time, Mrs Bennet, Mary and Lydia came running out of the house all excited. Mrs Bennet was holding a letter.

"Kitty! Oh Kitty, where were you?" Mrs Bennet's tone was happy and overly joyus that I wondered what had happened.

"I was walking with Miss Price. Why? What has happened?"

"Elizabeth is with child!" Lydia blurted out. Mrs Bennet swatted her playfully for practically shouting it.

"Goodness, Lydia! We do not want the whole neighbourhood to know right now!" Mrs Bennet scolded her.

I felt almost shocked, but so happy at the same time. Elizabeth, Mrs Darcy, was pregnant! This certainly was not mentioned in the book. Kitty, Lydia, Mary and Mrs. Bennet all embraced each other, so happy and joyus from this great news. I stood by quietly, smiling widely.

"Congratulations Mrs Bennet. You will be grandmother." I said.

"Thank you, Miss Price. This is the happiest news I've recieved in a while. If only Mr Bennet was here to share this with us." She suddenly looked saddened.

"Oh mama, I wish the same. Elizabeth probably does too. But I'm sure papa is watching us with a broad smile from heaven." Kitty comforted her mother. Mrs Bennet smiled at her daughter, with a few tears in her eyes.

"You're quite right my dear Kitty. I just wish he was here."

Straight away, right after changing their gowns, Lydia, Kitty, Mary, Mrs Bennet and I got into the carriage and made our way to Pemberly to see Elizabeth and Mr Darcy.

Upon arriving at Pemberly, we saw Elizabeth and Jane walking with Jane's daughter Katherine in her arms. This was the first time I'd seen Jane's daughter and goodness did she ever look like Jane. The same blonde ringlettes of hair and her eyes were green, like her father's. Anyway, no talk about Mr Collins... that creepy man that I almost had to marry last year. Just the thought of him made me grimace.

"Mama!" Elizabeth said when she saw us walking towards them. Mrs Bennet rushed to her and gave her a loving embrace.

"Oh my dear Elizabeth, how are you feeling? Not too ill, I hope."

"Oh mama, I feel just fine. The doctor said that I have been with child for one month already.

He said that I will deliver in November." Elizabeth's face was glowing and I could see that she was very happy. She looked at me and we both smiled widely.

"Congratulations Elizabeth." I said.

"Thank you, Miss Price. I would like to ask you a very important question. Both my husband and I have decided on this."

"Oh. What is it Elizabeth?"

"We would like to make you the godmother of our child."

I was so surprised that Elizabeth just asked me that. I was expecting her to chose the high-soceity wife of one of Mr Darcy's high class friends or someone like that, but no, they chose me. I felt honored.

"Of course I'll be the godmother. But, I am not sure if I will still be here in November. That's a long way a head of us."

"It is quite alright. Just as long as you come to visit the child when he or she is born and that you attend the christianing."

I smiled.

"I can definietely do that."

"Good! Thank you, my friend."
