Chapter 6
The trip to Boston was what most people would call a success. She had become more aquatinted with her future mother and sisters in law. Boston had been exciting. She had been sailing. Took long walks. Toured the City. She came to the conclusion that she enjoyed herself immensely. She had acquired her trousseau although she hadn't paid for most of it on Roy's insistence. He was very determined that he should provide for his future wife should ever need. They had set the date for the wedding August 20th. The wedding would be in Avonlea, at the brides insistence But though her trip to Boston she could not forget the pleasures that awaited her at green gables. She was home now, much to her delight. She was pleased to see that nothing had really changed in Avonlea. With however the small exception of her dearest Diana who had given birth to a delicious baby boy. She couldn't imagine her life without Avonlea. It was home. One afternoon when she was at home alone Diana came to call on her.
"Within a month you'll be an old married woman just like me."
"Yes," Anne hesitated before she asked her next question. "Diana, May I ask you something?"
"Of course you know that you can ask me anything Anne."
"It is a delicate subject. Now that I'm going to be married in two weeks I was wondering if you had any advice."
"Advice is that all. I'm sure that Marilla or Mrs. Lynde could give you house keeping tips."
"It's not exactly house keeping I am wondering about." Anne paused and took a deep breath. "Mrs. Lynde explained the basics of marital relations to me but I can't help feeling that it wasn't very helpful."
"I'm sure she tried to explain it to you in the manner way that it was your duty to your husband."
"Well yes."
"My mother gave me the same speech before my marriage to Fred. I can't say I found it very helpful either. My advice to you would be to follow your natural instincts."
"I see." Anne replied. Diana of course had good intentions but Anne could not fool herself that what Diana had said was no help. Diana, thankfully changed the subject.
"I confess I had another motive for coming to see you.."
"And what might this sinister motive be?"
" I came to get a peak at your trousseau."
"Oh," Anne laughed. "A sinister motive indeed. I suppose that I would be able to consider allowing you to have a special preview of it." They laughed together as they walked up the stars to Anne's room where Diana was in awe of her trousseau. Diana left shortly after admiring Anne's trousseau. She had left the baby with her mother and had to get home to start dinner. Anne spent the rest of the night after dinner reading.

A/N It's been a whole year today since I first posted this story and yet I've only got 6 chapters to show for that year. Sigh. There aren't enough hours in the day I think. However in honor of the one year anniversary of my story I am going to post another chapter also, and I promise the next one is the most exciting yet. Please Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
