Hey, thanks for the reviews! I agree the name Fitzwilliam is a bit eww but I just couldn't picture Lizzy calling him William or Will. My image of Darcy is Colin Firth (aka. 1995 P & P) not the new one..he's butt-ugly! sorry to people who like him!

The idea that inspired this chapter was that all Darcy's relations were Earls, Viscounts, Lords and Ladies so I just had to get him up there with the best of them! And in the end it fits in very well for a scene with Mrs Bennet ;). All ideas are welcome:D:D And do any of you think I should include Lady Catherine later on in the story just to spice things up a bit?


The dining room door clicked shut as the butler entered hold a sliver with calling cards and letters on. He then placed the tray by Elizabeth and bowed.

"The mail ma'am." Elizabeth put her cutlery down by her plate and took the letters off the tray and read through the names. She then handed Georgiana one and her husband his.

" Thank you Smythe. That'll be all for now. We shall call if you are required."

"Very good Mistress." Smythe then bowed to Fitzwilliam before leaving the room. Fitzwilliam took a sip of bordeax wine before turning to his wife. Who was opening a thick letter eagerly.

"Who have you received messages from today Elizabeth?" Elizabeth looked up at him before sifting through the assortment of mail, before proclaiming,

"Well I have a calling card from John Marlborough and his sister Isabella. Asking us to dinner while they're father is in town. Then there is one from Mrs Glasscock paying her respects. Did you know she's American?" Fitzwilliam shrugged. Georgiana continued to be engrossed in her letter. "The old lady who runs the cloth shop in Lambton has left me a note asking if I wanted anything orded before she goes to the Lakes for advent, but I'll deal with that later perhaps. I have more than enough fine gowns as it is." she was interrupted by her husband

"Too many gowns! No wife of mine could ever have too many fine things." Elizabeth smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Then there's a lot of a various messages from various busybodies but I shant trouble you with the details." Elizabeth took a bite of her food. Fitzwilliam did the same before returning to their conversation.

"Have Mr and Mrs Gardiner replied to your letter about having them to dine when we go to town? Elizabeth picked up a letter from the middle of the pile and opened it. She read it briefly before answering.

"Yes, they would be delighted. That is good is it not Georgiana?" Georgian looked up and nodded.

"It is good Elizabeth." Fitzwilliam looked at his sister and spoke.

"Who is your letter from if I am permitted to know, for you've not spoken all through the meal!" Georgiana smiled and put down her letter. Elizabeth raised her eyebrows for it was not usual for Georgiana to be excitable.

"I've received a letter from Miss Bennet." Georgiana's smile increased, Elizabeth however was slightly perplexed.

"My sister Kitty?" Fitzwilliam listened in interest.

"Yes, the very same. O dear. Do I need to explain?" Georgiana sighed and sounded slightly tired and strung out. Elizabeth took hold of her hand and smiled reassuringly at her.

"I'd like to hear about it, but not if you do not wish to share it. That's your letter, it's contents are private, unless you have a husband who reads them " she shot a sly teasinglook at Fitzwilliam, who was watching the intercourse with delight. It had always been his dearest wish to see the love of his life, Elizabeth and his baby sister Georgiana, to at least get along agreeably as friends, but he'd never dreamed of them forming such a tight bond as sisters.

The three continued on in this way for a little while before Fitzwilliam opened a letter that had come from his uncle, the Earl of Matlock. Elizabeth laughed and refolded her letters before continuing to eat her food. She then remarked keenly to her new sister.

"Well Georgiana all we're waiting for now is for Monty and Harriette to arrive then we can set of for Hertfordshire on the morrow." Georgiana smiled.

"O yes Elizabeth, nothing in the world could keep me."

"Well I'm most prodigiously pleased to hear it! " Elizabeth turned to her husband beaming, but the smile soon dropped from her face when she saw Darcy whose handsome face was filled with shock while he was reading the letter. "What on earthcould bethe matter Fitzwilliam?" Fitzwilliam stared in silence at the letter before shooting his eyes to her. His mouth hung slightly ajar.

"I've received a letter from my uncle, he writes to bear some news." Elizabeth got up from wear she was and came and knelt next to her husband and took hold of his shaking hand. She stared up into his chocolate eyes. He sighed.

"I, that is we for it affects us all." He looked down at his suprised wife.She'd never heard him speak without his normal caramel fluency"How can I tell you when you know how bad I am at expressing myself on important occassions?" Elizabeth rested her head in his lap. Fitzwilliam regained his composure.

"I've been made a peer!" Elizabeth jerked her head up and stared at him in disbelief, Georgiana dropped her knife and fork- her eyes wide and mouth agape. Elizabeth was the first to speak. She got to her feet and walked away a couple of steps before spinning round, the feathers on her headpiece bending with the force. Her skirt whipped round and hugged her figure. She thought it over for a few seconds, trying to come up with different explanations then it dawned on her.

"I'm a Lady!" She grinned, her pearly teeth shining out. Darcy stirred out of his state of shock.

"Well yes and pray do not sound so mecenary my love forGeorgianais as well." Georgiana's eyes lit up and she blushed furiously but smiled sweetly. Darcy watched as his wife gazed over himself as if examining him. Before she flung her self into his arms.

"Oh Fitzwilliam!" They looked intently into each others eyes before kissing. When they broke apart Elizabeth smiled her beautiful smiled. Fitzwilliam started laughing which he rarely did. Georgiana watched her brother and sister happily. "Lady Elizabeth."the said mused over her words before grinning wickedly."Won't Mrs Bennet be pleased." Darcy groaned.

"No doubt she will rattle on about it to all of England for years." Elizabeth got up off the floor and sat on her husband's lap. She began to play with one of his dark brown curls.

"You are so good Fitzwilliam, forbearing my family." Fitzwilliam smiled.

"Such forbearance is easy when the reward is you." His eyes were filled with love and admiration. Elizabeth glanced at Georgiana who had gone back to reading her letter. They looked at each other before he suddenly said "I love you Elizabeth!" she blushed slightly before replying.

"And I you, and I you." She kissed his forehead before getting up and sitting back in her chair next to Georgiana. She turned to the latter.

"Well what a to do Georgiana. Your brother has told us this much yet he has still not filled us in. Are you not as eager as I to know what our full title is?"Georgiana nodded eagerly.Elizabeth then furrowed her brow and turned to her husband. "Do not peers have full titles, for example Lord of such and such a place?" Fitzwilliam nodded. "Well sister?"

"O yes I would very much indeed!" They then turned their attentions to Fitzwilliam who arched an eyebrow.

"Very well, very well. I suppose I shall have no peace I I give in" She smiled, his wife and sister looked at him expectantly bitting her lip so as not to burst out laughing. "Don't laugh Elizabeth! For you my love are Lady Elizabeth Darcy, Viscountess Rivers of Pemberley and Matlock. Georgiana I would assume you are Lady Georgiana of Pemberley and Matlock. They sound well do they not?" Elizabeth for once in her life was short of words.
