HA I bet you didn't see that coming. OKay I'm scrapping the updating-on-mondays-and-thursdays Idea. I'm updating whenever. Y'all can please review!

William Darcy sat across the table from Gigi. They were sitting in a relatively nice restaurant. (Well, relatively nice for them, for Lizzie it probably would have been the be all and end all of restaurants). Gigi was eating a Caesar Salad with grilled Chicken, and he was slowly devouring a more substantial meal of Steak and vegetables. They did it every year. On the same day, at the same restaurant eating the same meal. Although this time Darcy had driven back to San Francisco for the evening.

'So how is she?' Gigi asked, breaking the silence that was slowly becoming awkward.

'Well. Lizzie is… well. I gave her the necklace on Monday'

'Monday? I'm surprised it took so long. Then again… Never mind, scratch that I know exactly why it took you so long'

'Gigi Darcy, ever the annoying little sister' Gig smiled at that.

'You know what little sister? Scratch that. I'm proud of who you've turned out to be. The way you overcome adversary, your resilience. And your ability to care so much more for other people than you do for yourself. Mom and Dad would be proud'

'No! they wouldn't! Mom wouldn't be able to distinguish me from a newborn baby and Father hardly even looked at me! There's a reason you are more like my dad than anybody else and he is the reason!' She looked at Darcy who seemed a little more taken aback then she thought he would. 'I'm sorry, I know that you miss them, and I miss them as well, but that doesn't change the fact that' She stopped to wipe her eyes with the heel of her hands, ' I was never good enough for him, He never needed me like I needed him, or you for that matter.'

'Listen Gigi, I know that today can be tough on you, it's tough on me as well, but I want to get one thing straight with you. Dad loved you, he really did, he just didn't know how to love you, he hardly knew how to interact with you let alone show affection. Besides Gigi, I need you. I need you because without you I would never be where I am today. I need you because you're my baby sister, without you I probably would have crumpled and given up on life. You affirm that I am human and that I need people too. I love you Gigi'

'Thank you William. Um… I'm not really hungry anymore' She smiled as she wiped her eyes again.

'Me neither, come on, lets get going' He called for the check and paid the bill (And tip) and they began walking outside. It was only eight o'clock, but it was beginning to get cold, and as Gigi Shivered, Darcy draped his jacket over her shoulders. They didn't walk far, just down the street and to the left for about a five minute walk towards the cemetery.

'Do you remember when we first did this? You were twelve I think and I was sixteen. Remember? Mrs Smith took us there for dinner as a treat, and there wasn't anything on the menu that you liked. So we walked down this street to the diner that used to be there and you had a chocolate milkshake. And then on the way back you had to visit mom and dad as we were walking back. Do you remember? You tripped on a root and twisted your ankle and I had to pick you up and carry you back to the car.'

'I remember having the twisted ankle. I wished that I had someone to kiss it better but there was only you and Mrs Smith. I was limping for a few days and everybody laughed at me.' They walked through the gates and into the cemetery before finding the gravestone and carefully placing the flowers in each of the vases.

'I remember that the first time we went, um… we didn't have any flowers, because you know we weren't expecting to go so we walked along the edge of the fence at like 9'oclock at night and picked up any flower we could find and shoved it in the vase with the other ones. '

'For your third birthday we went to the zoo.' Dad took half a day off work and we went there after lunch. You dragged us to absolutely every enclosure humanly possible until your legs gave out. By that time we were over the other side of the zoo so we had to drag you all the way back to get in the car on the way home. After we got ice-cream of course' For a while, dad picked you up and sat you on his shoulders, until he was scared that you wouldn't tell him you needed the bathroom and go all down his back. You didn't by the way.'

They did their stay at the cemetery, reliving old stories and telling new ones, until it was almost nine thirty. So together they walked back to Darcy's car. He always got a contented feeling after they did that. Like yes, he could go on some more. It seemed that Gigi had the same opinion.

'You know I'm glad you found Lizzie, or she found you or whatever. You've had your heart broken enough times to know that sometimes it doesn't work when it seems it should. But maybe it will work this time because it shouldn't. But please Will don't stuff it up with this one, I like her and I don't want it to be awkward if you guys break up. Okay?' Darcy laughed.

'Sure Gigi' By that time they were at the car and they got in. It took about half an hour to get back to Gigi's and by that time she was thoroughly asleep, so Darcy picked her up and took her carefully into the apartment and on to her bed where he tucked her in bed and left her a note for when she awoke.

As he was getting into his car, his phone rang:

'Darcy?'

'Lizzie! Hey, I'm leaving now, I should be there around midnight, will you be awake, or should I just come around in the morning?'

'um… I'll probably be asleep so just come by in the morning, but text me when you get in, if I'm awake I'll call you okay?'

'Yeah that sounds like a good plan. If you're asleep, I'll come by around maybe 9:30 10 perhaps and we can… I don't know… do something'

'Yeah, hey how was your night with Gigi?'

'It was good, she fell asleep, so I had to carry her in, I'm going to text her when I get home. '

'Awwww now who's an adorable Brother?'

'Lizzie! Please be quiet'

Lizzie gasped. 'Did William Darcy just tell me to shut Up?'

'In more polite words, yes I did. I didn't want to offend you, but I'm slowly getting the hang of this teasing thing'

'Now Darcy, you're not, but don't worry, you will'

'Lizzie I'm going to bed now, so could you get off the phone for one minute and say goodnight?' Lydia must have come in and was talking to Lizzie.

'Yeah just hang on I'll say goodbye to William'

'Oh is that Darcy? Can you give me the phone a moment, I'd kinda like to talk to him for a bit'

'Sure. Uh… William, Lydia want's to talk to you. I'll talk to you tomorrow. When you're done Lydia hang it up and leave it on my desk'

'okay'

'Lydia' He started, unsure of what he should say.

'Darcy, hi. I haven't really had a chance to get you alone, and since mom didn't really know about the whole tape thing I didn't think it would be a good conversation topic for dinner.'

'No you're right about that one'

'Listen Darcy, I'd just like to thank you. You saved me from a lot of things this year. Humiliation, a bad rep. so thank you. If there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know. I owe you one.'

'It was nothing really, Lydia, you didn't deserve what happened to you, I just ensured that justice was served to the correct party'

'Also, if you hurt my sister, you should know that I will find you and I will not hesitate to kill you.'

'I'll keep that in mind.'

'Okay I'm going to go to be now. So uh…. Thanks again'

'Goodnight Lydia, have sweet dreams'

She hung up.

After two hours of driving, Darcy finally arrived at his hotel, he texted Lizzie and Gigi and went to bed. He still wasn't sleeping much, but it was fun to pretend.
