Chapter 49

Darcy gazed at Lizzie, watching her as she charmed the employees at Gracechurch street via Skype. He was eager for her time at Pemberley, his employees he was sure would love her. With a sigh he tore his eyes away from Lizzy and returned to focusing on his own work. Once she was done with her meeting he planned on taking her on a tour of San Francisco.

As soon as Lizzy was done the two of them when down to the kitchen where Michael greeted them enthusiastically with a hot breakfast. As they discussed plans for the day Darcy ask if it would be okay to drop by Pemberley Digital so he could pick up a hard copy of a file he would need that night. He suggested they go in after 5 so he could give her a tour with most of the employees being gone for the day by then. She was eager to see Pemberley and quickly agreed. They were in Darcy's office now and a buisness call he had to take came in before they could start the tour.

Lizzie watched a young couple with a small child outside Darcy's office window. The father picked the boy up and swung him around. Will she knew would be just as good of a dad to their kids someday. Lizzie froze.

"Sorry about that, are you ready?" Darcy ask after hanging up.

"I love you. I want to have kids with you someday. I want to marry you," Lizzie blurted out.

Darcy froze and looked into Lizzie's wide eyes, searching them. Finding what he was looking for he grasp her hand. "Lizzie," he said dropping to one knee and reaching into his pocket, "You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?" In his free hand he held the ring he had purchased in Tahoe.

"Yes, " Lizzie said softly. "You're the man I want to spend my life with."

"Darcy stood up, wrapped his arms around Lizzie and expressed himself as passionately as a only a man in love could.

Darcy gave Lizzie another kiss. "Let's get married in Vegas, this weekend."

"This weekend? "

"I don't want to wait to start my life with you. "

"I want to start my life with you too , but we can't get married without Lyds, Jane, GiGi, Fitz-"

"We can fly them all there for the weekend, " he said kissing her again.

"My parents-"

"Them too. Lizzie I just want to marry you. If you want to wait and have a big wedding we can."

"I don't want to wait. I don't want a big wedding, just you. I want to marry you as soon as possible. Let's go to Vegas. "

Darcy kissed her passionately. Lizzie loved him. She had agreed to be his.
