A/N- I'm glad all the reviewers liked the last chapter. It's great that you are finally making an account, Raina. Maybe you could try writing a few one shots. I'm sure they'd turn out great. Emmayhyde73, your reviews really cheered me up.

The Bennet household was overflowing with happiness. Jane and Bingley's courtship was gladly approved by Mr Bennet, and this significant event was discussed in every corner of the house for a while, and every corner of the neighborhood as soon as Mrs Bennet set foot out of the house. Jane and Bingley sat in the parlor together, talking to one another. Mrs Bennet had ensured that they had some time alone by sending Kitty and Lydia to inform their Aunt Philips and taking it upon herself to inform everyone else.

Mary sat in her room, reading, and Elizabeth was out, taking a walk. The entire family was delighted with the occurrence, of course, but Jane and Elizabeth's joy sarpassed all others, even Mrs Bennet. Elizabeth skipped happily to the woods where they had first met Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy, humming to herself all the while.

'Someone looks rather happy today.', said a voice behind her.

Elizabeth spun around to see Mr Darcy.

'Mr Darcy! Whatever are you doing here?', she asked, surprised.

He gave her a look of mock outrage.

'Oh, Miss Eliza, I am affronted beyond measure that you think me incapable of wishing to take a walk in these lovely woods.'

'Why would the great Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley, the finest estate in Derbyshire wish to take a walk in these common woods?', she asked playfully.

Darcy grinned at her.

'Common woods? Common woods you call them? Why, these are the loveliest scenes I have ever beheld.'

'Then Pemberley's grounds are obviously not as lovely as I had heard.'

'They are beautiful, but I must confess I have never seen anything as remarkable as you in all of Derbyshire, or anywhere else for that matter.'

Elizabeth blushed.

'Do you mean it?', she asked shyly.

'You, Miss Elizabeth, are the most wonderful person I have ever met.', he replied with conviction.

'I'm flattered, Mr Darcy.', said Elizabeth, not sure quite what to say.

Darcy tactfully changed the subject.

'Do you visit these woods very often, then?'

'Oh, yes. When we were children, me and my sisters would come here ever so often and pretend that we were fairy queens who ruled this land.'

'That must have been such fun.', said Darcy wistfully.

Elizabeth caught his tone and gently asked him if he had not had similar games in his childhood.

'I have never pretended to be a fairy queen.', he replied lightly.

Elizabeth laughed.

'It would be entertaining to see you dressed as one.'

Darcy gasped.

'Oh, Miss Elizabeth, you are cruel to wish such a fate upon me.'

'Cruel? Not in the least. I assure you, fairy queens have the prettiest of gowns.'

'I'm afraid I never did care much for gowns.'

'My mother would be shocked! How could one not care for gowns?'

'I suppose it is possible when one can't really wear them in company.'

Elizabeth and Darcy laughed aloud at this statement. When Elizabeth had regained her composure, she asked Darcy the cause of his presence in the woods again.

'All jokes aside, I entreat you, sir, to enlighten me to the cause of your presence here.'

'Do you find it disagreeable?', he asked jokingly.

Elizabeth gave him a stern look.

'Miss Elizabeth, you frighten me. Very well, I shall tell you all. I came here hoping to see you.'

'How could you possibly know that I would be here?'

'Your sister mentioned to Bingley that you were find of visiting the woods often for long walks.'

'And Mr Bingley told you?'

'Charles recounts nearly all his conversations with Miss Bennet endless times. I fear him to be hopelessly in love. It is most tiresome, to tell you the truth.'

'What could be so tiresome about being in love?'

'It is tiresome to those who have to hear all about the lady their friend is in love with. But to fall in love, that is a delightful experience I hope.'

'Have you never been in love?'

'I'm halfway in it.'

Elizabeth's heart seemed to contract just a bit on hearing this, but she forced a light and pleasant tone.

'Miss Bingley will be glad to hear that get efforts were not in vain.'

'Caroline? How could you not know, my sweetest Miss Elizabeth, that it is you I was referring to?'

Elizabeth's heart leaped upon hearing this, and she coloured up.

'Truly, Mr Darcy?'

'No woman every made me feel this, Miss Elizabeth, and to be truthful I scarcely know this unfamiliar sensation that feels like love to me.'

'Is that what you wanted to tell me, sir?'

Darcy shook his head.

'No, Miss Elizabeth. No. I wished to tell you if how I felt only when I had determined what I did feel. Is it just affection, or am I truly in love? I am not easily in love, I think you have already concluded thnotI do not know what is happening to me. But I wished to tell you that my sister, Georgiana, will be joining us at Netherfields next week. She is most eager to meet the woman who had captured my heart, for you certainly have done that. I hope that she can help me figure out how I feel.'

'I will be very glad to see her, Mr Darcy. Miss Bingley spoke very highly of Miss Darcy.'

'I request you not to take Caroline's words too seriously.'

'You need not worry, Mr Darcy. I'll be delighted to be acquainted with Miss Darcy, and form my own judgement on her.'

'Thank you. I have great faith in you to do so.'

'We must part now, Mr Darcy. My mother might be worrying.'

'You may not go, Miss Eliza, before you tell me the reason behind your happiness today.', he teased.

'Jane's courtship with Mr Bingley is now official, and I dare say half the neighbourhood knows of it by now. What could please me more than the well deserved happiness of my dearest sister?'

With this, she waved at him and disappeared along the same path she had arrived. Darcy stared at the spot she had vacated, and whispersed so softly that only the birds could hear him.

'I hope that you too shall soon experience the happiness that surrounds Miss Bennet now .'

A/N- The next chapter will see the arrival of Georgiana Darcy. I rather like how this chapter turned out, the future chapters will probably include similar interactions between the couple's, since they seem to be a favorite among the reviewers and I love writing such scenes. I'm hoping for lots of reviews to this chapter, they make my day so much brighter and keep a smile on my face all day long.
