BENNETT AND DARCY CHAPTER 10

Lizzie woke up with IV's in her arms.She looked around and saw she was in a hospital bed.She saw a worried Darcy looking at her by her bedside.

" You fainted.They are running tests." Darcy told her.

" Okay.I'm diabetic so it's probably related to that." Lizzie admitted.

" I know. They have been monitering your blood sugar, so I took a wild guess you were diabetic.Jane confirmed it. The three of us have decided that you should come and rest at my house when you are released." Darcy said.

" The three of you? You guys are ganging up on lil' ol me.I'm too weak to put up a fight so for once and only once I shall cave into your demands." Lizzie gave a week smile.

Darcy smiled." My sister will be there as well.She is very anxious to meet you."

" I would love to meet your sister. From what I've read to seems like a sweet soul." Lizzie said.

Darcy brightened up when he started talking about his sister." She really is.It's almost hard to believe such a kind person actually came from my family."

Lizzie noticed the more he talked about his sister the more animated and less stuffy he became.It was like he was a different person.' Maybe I misjudged him' she thought before she went to sleep that night.

PEMBERLY MANSION

Lizzie was released a couple days later after her blood sugar had been stabilized.As they limo they had taken after a short ride in Darcy's jet came to a mansion coated in peach and white trimmimgs Lizzie looked over to Darcy and said ." I thought you said house."

Darcy grinned." This is my house."

Lizzie pointed to the mansion." This is a mansion...a mini - castle."

Darcy kept grinning, he secretly loved getting her worked up over something.He loved the fire in her eyes."...and my house."

Lizzie chuckled." I think our definitions of houses differ."

Darcy saw Georgianna come out to greet them as they exited the limo. Darcy ran over to Georgianna and gave her a big hug.Lizzie smiled as she saw this. She was definately liking this side of Darcy, a side she never would have imagine existed and yet it did.

Darcy introduced Georgianna to Lizzie . Georgianna curstied and then gave Lizzie a warm, welcoming hug.Georgianna then introduced herself to Jane and welcomed Bingley back to Pemberly.

Later that evening the ladies bonded as the men played cards. Darcy watched as Georgianna and Lizzie got along fabulously well. It warmed his heart.He also noticed Bingley was rather nervous." Why are you so jittery?"

" I'm waiting for the perfect time to ask Jane a certain question." Bingley said in a low voice.

" Really? Good for you but bad for this game.I think we should continue this game after you ask her cause there is no point in playing with a distracted person.No challenge in that"
Darcy told him.

" I know it's rather quick but I really ,really think she's the one." Bingley smiled.

Darcy had never seen him so worked up over a woman before." I'm happy for you ,dear friend."

Bingley could barely contain himself he got up and went over to Jane.He then got down on bended knee and proposed to Jane. Jane cried and said yes. Bingley and Jane kissed each other passionately.

Lizzie went over to Darcy." I foresee a short engagement and a honeymoon baby." she chuckled.

Darcy laughed." I agree. What about you Ms.Bennett? What are your views on marriage?"

" I will marry for love. I do believe in marriage.It is more than a piece of paper.It's the ultimate vow, the ultimate act of love.What about you?" Lizzie said.

" Very similar to yours. I would definately prefer to marry for love but if my aunt had her way I would end up married to someone I don't love to get back the family title." Darcy admitted.

" Does that matter to you? Becoming a offical royal again." Lizzie asked.

Darcy looked her in the eyes." Not as it once did.I found something I want much more than some silly crown."

Lizzie blushed. Darcy started to lean over to kiss her when a butler came in and announced the arrival of Lady Catherine de Borgh...Darcy's aunt.
