A/N: Alright guys, one more after this. I am kind of sad to end it. On a totally different note, if anyone wants to be a beta for my next story please let me know! I am already starting to plan it.
Darcy,
Hi! It's Eliza and Ezra. We don't know if you have been talking to mama or not but we are loving our new home! There are lots of parks and stuff. Mama seems to be happy, but we t hink that she really misses you. Auntie Jane keeps calling to try and get us to go home. Mama did tell you that we moved right? Visit soon!
E & E
William read the e-mail over and over again. It had come from Elizabeth's e-mail, but it wasn't from her. Ezra and Eliza contacted him, how they got into her e-mail, he didn't know. He hadn't heard from them in a month, and not for lack of trying.
He couldn't be reading it right. It didn't add up, why did she leave? George was behind bars thanks to his private investigator and his sister wasn't mad anymore. Why did she move? Why didn't anyone tell him?
He thought for a while about it and then remembered Carlos and Colin visiting him last week. Carlos had tried to tell him something, he wanted to tell him something, but Colin wouldn't let him. They must have known. Did she make them promise not to tell him? Why would she do that?
"What's wrong big brother?" Georgiana when she saw how he was looking at his phone.
"Elizabeth moved." He hadn't meant to say it but he couldn't think from the shock.
"Oh." Georgiana felt bad for her brother. She felt slightly responsible for this. She got up and left her brother to his thoughts so she could pack. She wasn't going to watch her brother hurt like this.
"Are you sure you don't want to come back? You can take over our lease and we will pay your cancellation fee on the new place." Jane didn't plan on telling her sister that as soon as she was in England she was going to tell William everything.
"I am sure. The kids would fight all the time if they had to share a room." Elizabeth smiled as they taped the last box. Most of Jane's things were being donated, but pictures, clothes and other things were being shipped to her new home.
"Yeah, I guess you are right. It is a surprising that your place rented out so fast. I haven't seen anyone yet, but management said that a young woman signed the lease a week after you left." Jane said as they set the box outside for the second hand store workers to take with them.
"It is a good place to live." Elizabeth sighed as she looked at the door to her old place.
"Yeah. I am going to miss this place." Jane smiled at looked at her own door. Tomorrow she would be on a plane to England. "Listen, Charles and I got you an early birthday present. Don't open it till your birthday, okay?" Jane said fighting back tears. It was going to be hard to leave her sister. It was hard to leave her whole family behind, but Elizabeth and the kids were the hardest. They were best friends and she looked at Eliza and Ezra as her own children, she had a huge part in raising them.
"You do realize that I will probably open this as soon as I get home, right?" Elizabeth teased as she fought back her own tears. Everyone had already said their goodbyes yesterday at a family dinner where their mother was in hysterics, both happy and sad, and their father forced himself not to tear up. The kids were spending the day there so that Elizabeth could help Jane finish the packing.
"I know." Jane couldn't hold it in any longer, the tears burst from her eyes, causing Elizabeth's to do that same. The sisters who were so different in personality and looks, held each other and seemed as one. They were both apart of one another because they were sister by not only birth, but soul as well. They were connected in so many ways that even though they were separating, they knew they were still always going to be together.
"I love you!" Elizabeth said sniffing.
"I love you, too." Jane said as she released the hug and wiped her eyes. "Lizzy, promise me that you will talk to William soon, okay?"
"Alright, I promise." Elizabeth nodded her head and wondered if it was a promise she could keep.
The sisters parted, one heading to her new home in a new town, and the other heading to a hotel to spend her last night in her home country before she headed to her new home in a different country.
"Lizzy?" a young woman said in Elizabeth's door way.
"Georgiana?" Elizabeth said in shock. "What are you doing here? Is Darcy here?"
"No, he doesn't know I am here. I took a flight this morning after he received an e-mail saying that you have moved."
"An e-mail? From who?" Elizabeth was baffled, who sent him an e-mail?
"Us." Ezra spoke up. "We thought he knew."
"Yeah, we have enjoyed it here so much and we thought he was going to be coming with us." Eliza followed. The twins had no idea that Darcy had no clue about their moving.
"Oh." Elizabeth didn't know how to react. She knew deep down that this would hurt the twins, but she didn't know what to do at the time. There was no sign of George until someone dropped an anonymous tip to some private investigator, and she didn't want to risk him knowing where she was.
"Can I come in?" Georgiana asked.
"Oh, yeah." the family stepped inside.
"How did you find me?" Elizabeth asked after offering her something to eat or drink.
"I did a postal search. It isn't that hard to find someone."
"Oh." Elizabeth set a glass of water in front of her guest.
"About the wedding, I wanted you to know that I am sorry for the things I said." G rushed the words out of her mouth.
"What? Oh, G! Its okay! I am so sorry that it all happened!" Elizabeth said getting teary eyed again.
"I shouldn't have reacted that way. I should have apologized after I saw what George did to your face!" Georgiana was crying from the guilt of not saying anything sooner.
"George? My dad?" Eliza asked from the table where she and Ezra were having some cookies with milk.
"I thought you tripped and hit your face on the door?" Ezra questioned.
"Oh no! I didn't think... I am so sorry! I should have... Crap!" Georgiana hadn't been thinking about keeping the truth from the kids. She had even heard Elizabeth telling her children the pretend story.
"Its okay, you didn't know." Elizabeth thought for a moment. "When did you see my face?"
"The morning after the wedding, I had stepped outside after finding out that William was hiring a P.I for you. I saw you open your door for the kids and your sister. I heard you tell them about tripping and I just didn't think about it just now. I am so sorry! I shouldn't have been listening to your conversation that day either!"
Elizabeth wasn't mad. She couldn't be. Eliza and Ezra would have found out eventually, she just hated that they always found out from someone who wasn't her.
"You saw George?" Ezra asked.
"Yes. He was there, as someone's date." Elizabeth put her hand on G's shoulder before speaking the next part. "I believe he was one of the waitresses boyfriend who crashed the wedding."
Georgiana smiled. Elizabeth didn't hold it against her and she knew it because Elizabeth smiled back at her in a way that her brother would. Elizabeth was a caring person and Georgiana knew she could depend on her.
"How did they crash the wedding?" Eliza asked, not wanting to think about her father.
"That is something that you say when someone who isn't invited to something shows up anyways." Elizabeth said turning from Georgiana.
"Oh. Ezra, want to go play a video game?" Eliza didn't want to hear the rest of the conversation. She didn't want to think about what an awful person their dad was.
"Yeah." Ezra wanted to know more, but knew his sister needed him more.
"Darcy hired the private investigator?" Elizabeth said once the kids were in Ezra's room.
"Yeah, he has been checking in every day to make sure the guy has stayed on the case. He paid the guy a lot of money to make sure he didn't pick up any more cases."
Elizabeth was shocked. She had been so cold to him and yet he kept doing amazing things for her and her children and what did she do? She left, without any word.
"He is why I am here." Georgiana said as she cleaned her face up and straightened her posture. "My brother is really hurt about you leaving the way you did. He wont admit it, but I know him and I was there when he read the e-mail." It was at that moment when Georgiana's phone rang.
"Crap!" It was the very person they were talking about. "William! Hey! I am so sorry that I just left like that! No, I know. Will! No, I can't tell you that. You don't understand. I will be home tomorrow, don't worry. Yes I have enough money and a place to stay. No I am not running away! I just needed to take care of something over here. I can't tell you where over here is. What? You can't take a trip right now! Why? Because I don't want to be alone when I come home. Yeah? Okay. I will see you tomorrow night." Georgiana let out a sigh.
"Why didn't you tell him where you are?"
"He wouldn't like that I came here to tell you all of this. He doesn't know what to do about it. He hasn't ever felt like this before. He wants to be with you, he wants to help you raise your children. He is so in love with you! He is in love with them!" There will silent cheers coming for the bedroom where the kids were supposed to playing a video game.
Elizabeth didn't know what to say, what to do. She was already regretting everything she had done since the wedding, how could she make it right?
"I heard your birthday was coming up and I thought that you might enjoy a trip to England. If you are feeling up to it that is.." Georgiana was afraid that she had jumped ahead of herself, Elizabeth hadn't given any sort of response that indicated she wanted to be with William.
"Birthday? Oh!" Elizabeth jumped up and pulled the envelope that Jane gave her out of her purse. It was three tickets to England. They were to leave on her birthday. "I am going next week." Elizabeth said breathless and thankful that she and kids had passports.
"Really? That is convenient."
"No, its Jane." Elizabeth smiled.
"Well then, I will see you next week."
"Okay." It was all Elizabeth could get out. With all the information from Darcy's sister and the tickets from her own sister, she was far too happy and hopeful.
"Guys! We are going to see Darcy!" Elizabeth yelled at her kids who came running to give her a big hug. They were mad at her at first for lying to them, but this made up for all that.
"Where did you go?" William asked his sister as she came off the plane.
"I had to see a friend."
"You couldn't just call them on the phone? Or used Skype or something?"
"No. I had to see them face to face. Charles and Jane, are they here?"
"Yeah, their plane landed a few hours before yours."
"Good, tomorrow I would like to see them. I have to talk to them about something." Georgiana couldn't wait for next week.
