Mr Darcy walked proudly through the sun kissed corridors of Pemberley, the dawn shining gloriously through the windows. His mind was wondering to the many glorious things that had happened to him since his marriage to Elizabeth, he smiled unknowingly as he stopped at a door and slowly opened it, making as little sound as possible.
He sneaked into the room and silently closed the door behind him. He turned excitedly and looked across to the chair near the window where his wonderful wife sat, a child in her arms. He walked over to her slowly, taking in her radiance and as she turned her head to him she smiled, the highlight of his day. He woke every morning glowing with the prospect of seeing his wife smile, knowing that she was just as content as him. He stood behind her usual chair and as the same as every morning, he lent over and placed a soft kiss upon her forehead. Her loving brown eyes met with his before they returned to the sleeping child in her arms. He looked down at his daughter, Rebecca and saw the same beauty that her mother possessed, the same dark eyes and the countenance. Rebecca, the young child of one year was the most beautiful child he had ever seen, as he watched her sleep peacefully he contemplated on his unique life and felt that through any heartaches that were yet to come he would face them happily.
"Papa!" A small voice cried out before Darcy turned to see his five year old son running to him. A smile erupted on the masters face as he bent to pull his son into his arms. The young boy who was the double of his father stood proudly in his nightshirt and smiled.
The Darcy's two children were the final addition to their happy family, through their children Elizabeth and Darcy found more pleasure than they ever thought possible. For both children were so complying and well natured that they were always a pleasure to behold.
Jane and Charles lived their lives in harmony which was only increased when Miss Bingley was married and Mr and Mrs Hurt sought a home of their own. They bore one child, a son, Robert and through him found a life that was so complete that neither could complain. Jane's kind nature and Charles' patience contributed greatly to their son who matured into a very acceptable man who made his parents proud. The disappointment in life was that Jane suffered an infection after the birth of Robert and would never conceive again, it damaged Jane greatly but with love and support from all of her family she found a greater happiness.
Lydia never bore a child, the name of Wickham to the relief of many would not continue. Mr Wickham's visits to Bath and London increased dramatically over the scale of his marriage, resulting in larger debts. Although both admired each other Mr Wickham's affection soon suck into indifference, hers took a little longer. Lydia never mentioned her jealousy of her two elder sisters but all knew that she desired a child as much as any other woman. The Wickham's were very unknown in society so it was not a distress when Wickham was murdered in a tavern brawl. Lydia did show some bereavement at her husbands death but after her return to her mothers side at Longborne she seemed to show more of her old immature self.
Mrs Bennet showed great pleasure in Lydia's return but was angered by the aspect of someone murdering "a kind man such as Wickham". She was also distressed by the aspect that Mary still remained a spinster, she showed no enjoyment in society and favoured the company of her pianoforte above the association of gentlemen. Mary did remain a spinster, even in her later life she showed no enjoyment in society but did however, enjoy the company of her many nieces and nephews.
There was however, the aspect that Mrs Bennet admired Kitty more after her advantageous marriage to a clergyman in the neighbouring town of Derbyshire. She showed less of her immaturity and acted more how society would like, more gentlemen approached her and she fell deeply in love with the last man that anyone would suspect, a proud clergyman.
Kitty's life was more advantageous than what she could have imagined and after the birth of her first child she favoured more feminine and secure things such as literature. Her husband treat her with utmost respect and the patriarchy which was present in society did not show in their home.
Georgiana grew into a very accomplished lady with the help of Elizabeth and after her marriage to a wealthy man of London society she frequently returned to her beloved sister. Georgiana's marriage to Sir John Wetherton lasted many years in harmony until he was struck down by illness and died. Georgiana and her two sons spent many years mourning for a husband and father until they finally bought a home seven miles from Pemberley. London society did not agree with Georgiana after the death of her husband and she desired to be closer to her family and the country. Her sons grew into fine Gentlemen and were frequently guests at the Pemberley estate with their mother. Her proximity to Pemberley was the only thing that deterred Georgiana from her life as a widow, her relationship flourished further with Elizabeth and her life continued in normality until she died of old age, her family at her side.
Lady Catherine came to a resolution with Elizabeth on her visit to Rosings and both apologised to the other for expressing feelings on matrimony which, should never have been mentioned. Both became close acquaintances but never to the extent of calling her Aunt or Niece. In the small relationship they had they found comfort, there was harmony at last in the family. Happiness was increased at Rosings when a marriage was planned, between Colonel Fitzwilliam and Lady Anne. The relationship seemed to have escalated from friendship and after the Colonel inherited his brother's estate after death Lady Anne was too happy to accept his advances. The marriage was one of idleness on both parts but both were happy in their association.
Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship flourished greatly, neither thought that they could live without the other. They stood proudly and watched their children grow respectfully. Through happiness of their marriage Darcy and Elizabeth felt no need for more children, they were content with their situation and did not wish for anything to change. Rebecca and Fitzwilliam, their children grew into respected members of society, they were spoke of wherever they went. This was not due to unthoughtful reasons but rather for the respectful name that they carried, a name which would hopefully carry through generations. Through generations Darcy and Elizabeth hoped that each relation would tell their story and teach in a dignified way that hierarchy and wealth are nothing in comparison to true love.
