A/N: Oh please, like I was really going to ruin the surprise to Lizzie so soon? ;) I wish I owned LBD or P&P, but I don't. Enjoy the happy moments! (while you can mwahahahaha (jokes))

"Oh no." Was all Darcy could think to himself as jumped over a table, knocking over a chair, and ran for the hallway across the lobby to where the meeting with his lawyers was going to take place. He needed to hide. Quick. Lizzie mustn't see him at all. He knew he created a big enough commotion for all three of the Bennets too look up from filling out some papers but he was quite positive he was already out of sight when they noticed the incident. Still he continued to run through the hall to the conference room, only to look back briefly at the very confused looking lawyers and detectives standing shocked in the middle of the lobby while he barged through the door.

He could've sworn he heard Lizzie say, "What was that?" as he slammed the door behind him and sat down in a chair.

Thank the Lord that he was in track in high school.

Why didn't he expect her…them to be here? Why did Darcy think that it was ok to just go to the police station where Lydia was? Of course she had made her phone call to her family, why was he so dazed to see the Bennets standing fifteen feet before him? Darcy buried his head in his hands.

Lizzie. She looked awful. Like she hasn't slept in days or eaten much either. Her hair was very skewed and (even if she was looking down at the time) her eyes had such bags under them. Yet Darcy was barely able to contain himself from running over to her and holding her in his arms. Regardless of how off she looked, his heart couldn't help but to skip a beat when he saw her.

But his heart couldn't help skip another beat when he realized he shouldn't be in her view and that he needed to leave that position as soon as possible.

She was going to kill him someday without even noticing that it was her fault.

He was ok with that though. Being killed by Lizzie Bennet wasn't a bad consideration at all.

"Ummm are you feeling well, sir?" said one of his lawyers as they entered the conference room after him.

"Yes, just a bit flustered. That family that was filling out paperwork, they didn't acknowledge me, did they?" Darcy had to check.

"No sir, the Bennet family didn't notice you until after your marathon out of there. By the way, nice hang time you had there after the jump. Points off for knocking the chair though," Agent Younge said with an amused smile.

Darcy pulled his chin back. "Yes, well, let us proceed with the arguments for this case, shall we? I need to leave soon."


"Well that was weird," Lizzie thought to herself as she saw just the leg of a man sprint out of the Police Station lobby, leaving his bewilderingly company behind.

"What was that?" She asked to anyone in the main lobby.

"Sorry, the man's delusional; keep telling him his brother's time is not up yet but he won't listen…" Agent Haggerston curtly replied, saving Darcy's skin.

Lizzie just continued to give them a quizzical look as they continued on after the man but finally snapped out of it when a police officer started to lead them to the room Darcy had just left.


"Lydia!" Jane shouted as she ran over to her baby sister to give her a huge hug, Lizzie right on her heel to join in. Lydia was surprised to see her family as her next visitor but happily hugged both sisters back. All three girls were crying but for once it was for happiness to be reunited finally. Mr. Bennet was slightly laughing at their reunion, allowing himself to cry tears of joy as well.

"Are you ok? Are you feeling well? You're looking ok…" Lizzie said this as she was inspecting her sister for any physical harm. She saw Lydia's bruises. "Lydia what happened here?" pointing at her bruised arms.

"It's nothing; the doctor looked at it already and they said they'll be gone soon. I got them from trying to leave, it's my own fault." Lydia just shrugged since she didn't really care about them right now. All that mattered that she was back with her family.

"No, it's not Lydia. You don't deserve that. Look, I'm so sorry for our fight. I was unfair and I should've listened to you-"

"Lizzie, I know, I saw your video. Thank you. It's why I'm here today with you guys and not him. Even if it means I'm arrested."

"Not anymore, we paid your fine just before we saw you. You're coming home now, Lydia." Jane said this with a smile.

"I- What? Really?" Lydia's face shined with pure happiness for the first time in a while.

"Lydia, honey, it's time for you to go home." Mr. Bennet said as he pulled his youngest daughter in for a hug.


As Lydia was given back her items that the police confiscated, the rest of her family was filling out the rest of the forms of Lydia's release in the main lobby. Lydia looked down one of the narrow hallways to see a man looking like a deer in the headlights at her and then slowly on the rest of her family, who had their backs to him.

Lydia just rolled her eyes and walked over to the petrified man.

"You know, the more statue-like you stand, the more convincing you are." Lydia whispered with a small smile to Darcy while he gave her his disapproving look.

"I…I don't know where to go, I have to depart but cannot with an, obstacle, in the way…" He looked up and looked at the back of Lizzie's head. His heart beating fast once again.

"Don't worry, we'll be out in no time," Lydia whispered back with a smirk. Darcy was being ridiculous but that was his decision. She gave him a hug. "Thanks again for everything."

Darcy was caught off guard, causing him to break his gaze of Lizzie's head and be brought back to reality. "You're welcome. Don't worry about it, alright?" He whispered back.

Lydia broke her hold on him and started to walk backwards while giving him another smile. "Ok, I won't."

She pointed at Lizzie's back and mouthed "Call her" while pretending her other hand was a phone and held it up to her ear. Darcy couldn't help but smile while nodding a goodbye to Lydia as he reentered the conference room.

"Lydia what are you doing?" Lizzie noticed her sister was pointing at her back and was smiling but Lizzie didn't see anyone in sight.

Lydia spun around a bit too fast, scared to see if her sister saw the unknown hero. From Lizzie's face it was obvious that she didn't. Sighing with relief, Lydia said, "Oh nothing. I was just thinking to myself."

Lizzie gave her a look and then another look down the hall. Maybe she was just seeing things. Yawing, she responded, "Come on baby sister, let's go home so we can all finally get some sleep."
