Hey y'all! So, as I was thinking about this story and I realized that I wanted to make Benjamin a year younger than Fitzwilliam instead of his twin. Also, someone asked about ages for the kids, including ones that haven't been introduced yet like Hurst, Charlotte, and unnamed OC. Since this is an AU some of the ages will be fudged a bit to work better. I have no idea what age kids leave the nursery in those days, so I'm going to say 10.

Andrew Fitzwilliam- 16

Fitzwilliam Darcy- 16

Benjamin Darcy- 15

George Hurst- 15 (Will come in later)

Charles Bingley- 14

Louisa Bingley- 13

Charlotte Lucas- 13 (Will come in later)

Caroline Bingley- 12

Emmaline Bingley- 12

Richard Fitzwilliam- 10

UNAMED OC- 10 (Will be introduced later!)

Anne De Burg- 10

Jane Bennet- 9

Elizabeth Bennet- 8

Amber Bennet- 8

Mary Bennet- 6 nearly 7

Kitty Bennet- 4 nearly 5

Lydia Bennet- 3 nearly 4

Leopold Fitzwilliam- 3

Georgiana Darcy- 3

Mr. Thomas Bennet stepped out of the carriage when the door was opened and turned to help his daughters out as well. After making sure his daughters were out of the carriage safely, he turned and greeted his friend, "Darcy! It's good to see you." Mr. Darcy smiled at his old friend and returned the greeting, "It's good to see you too old friend. Come let us go in and get out of the sun. We can do introductions after you have refreshed and unpacked. We also have enough beds in the nursery for all the girls, they will be in there with my daughter and my youngest nephew." Mr. Bennet just nodded and followed everyone in the house with his girls trailing him.

Mrs. Reynolds was standing in the entryway with some maids waiting to escort the guests to their rooms. After being escorted to the nursery, the three maids that came with them were shocked to see that the girls immediately started unpacking their own trunks and placing things away quietly. They expected the girls to just sit there and complain while they unpacked the trunks. Before working at Pemberley, the three maids had worked at other establishments where they were treated as objects. While they enjoyed working at Pemberley, they were still wary of guests who weren't family.

After they finished unpacking all of their trunks the girls decided they would change into a dress that was not dusty from traveling. The three older girls each picked out a dress, though the three youngest turned to the maids. It was Mary who asked the maids for help, "Could you help the three of us pick a dress for tonight? Usually our maid Betsy helps us." Each maid helped one of the three youngest pick a dress that was appropriate and then helped them into the dress. After finishing with the younger three they turned to see if the older three needed help to find that they were already done and waiting. Seeing that their sisters were ready, Elizabeth smiled, "Thank you. Come on Lydia, Mary, Kitty we need to go down and have Papa introduce us to his friends." The girls each went to a sister and in pairs they walked down the stairs, meeting their father at the bottom of the stairs.

Upon seeing his daughters Mr. Bennet let out a smile, "Ah there you are girls. Come everyone is waiting in the parlor." The girls followed their father into the room where they saw the adults sitting and talking on the couch, while the younger people in the room were sitting around the window talking. Upon seeing the newcomers, George Darcy stood and greeted them, "Ah Bennet there you are. Come let me introduce you to everyone." The parents collected their children and had them in family units. Darcy started with his own family first, "This is my wife Anne, my eldest son Fitzwilliam, my second son Benjamin, and my daughter Georgianna. This is my wife's sister Lady Catherine De Burg and her daughter Anne. This is my wife's brother Daniel Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Matlock and his wife Constance. Next to them are their three boys, Andrew, Richard, and Leopold. Finally, we have my business partner, Mr. Johnathan Bingley and his four children. His son Charles, his eldest daughter Louisa, and his twin daughters, Emmaline and Caroline."

Elizabeth looked at everyone while Mr. Darcy introduced them and she thought that almost everyone looked friendly. She couldn't wait to get to know them better. The only ones who Elizabeth was wary of were the Bingley sisters Emmaline, and Caroline. The looks that the sisters gave when facing the Bennet family, made Elizabeth think that they had smelled something terrible.

Mr. Thomas Bennet listened to the introductions and when his friend was done, he placed a hand on his eldest's shoulder, "It is nice to meet you all. These are my daughters; Jane, Mary, Elizabeth, Kitty, Amber, and Lydia." As he went with the introduction, he gestured to each of the girls. As their names were being said each girl curtsied in greeting. The only mistake was Lydia stumbled a bit when she was coming out of her curtsy. The adults all smiled at the girls, though they were shocked at how they well behaved they were. Mr. Darcy gestured to Mr. Bennet, "How about we all sit and talk for a bit before supper. We can catch up with everyone in a group." He turned towards his sons, "Grab some seats and move them so we can all sit in a group." The boys nodded and enlisted Andrew and Richard into helping them move the chairs.

After moving the chairs around everyone sat down and Lady Catherine immediately started the conversation, "Mr. Bennet, I was shocked to hear that you weren't bringing your wife or your girls' governess with you." Thomas Bennet let out a little smile thinking about his wife, "Yes, I decided that my wife needed a small break. She has been busy with the girls and running the household. As for the governess, we do not have one. My wife insisted that she could raise the girls and prepare them for the future herself." Lydia tugged at her sister's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Darcy pretty." The older girl just nodded gestured for her sister to be quiet and let the adults talk. Amber thought that they had not been observed, but she was wrong. Lady Catherine addressed the girls, "What did she say?" Amber blushed at being caught and faced the great lady while everyone faced her, "My sister just wanted Mrs. Darcy to know that she thought she was pretty."

Mrs. Darcy smiled at the young girl, "Thank you my dear. You are pretty as well." The young girl jumped off her seat and walked to the lady, when she was in front of her, she did a small bow and thanked her before walking back to her seat. Elizabeth and Amber stood and helped their sister back into her seat. Lady Constance Fitzwilliam was a bit confused about why the girl would curtsey and give proper thanks, the girl was three. While a three-year-old needed to act proper in public, Lydia was acting as if she was meeting the Queen. Her confusion was felt by the rest of adults and even some of the younger people, but it was Lady Anne that questioned her, "Why did you curtsey? A simple thank you would have sufficed." Lydia looked at the woman and answered in a way only a three-year-old can, "My sisters say so." Jane took over the explanation, "Our father taught us that we should give a proper thank you when someone compliments us. It shows that we are genuine in our thanks and that we sincerely appreciate the compliment."

The woman nodded in acceptance and the conversation moved on to other topics, before people started breaking into smaller groups. After about ten minutes Mrs. Reynolds came in and told the group that supper was finished. The group stood up and pair up with Mr. Darcy and Earl of Matlock escorting their wives. Mr. Bennet escorted Lady Catherine and Mr. Bingley escorted his eldest daughter. The younger generation was quick to pair up with Andrew escorting his cousin Anne, and Leopold grabbing Lydia and Georgianna's hands. Benjamin looked at his brother and nodded towards the Bennet twins in a silent question. Fitzwilliam nodded and the pair walked towards the eight year old girls and asked in they could walk them into the dining room, they knew that their father wanted them to be nice to the Bennets and they also wanted to avoid the Bingley twins. Even though the twins were only twelve they were already only interested in fashion. Benjamin also offered his hand to Mary. Richard walked over and asked if Jane would let him escort her and she agreed, he also offered his hand to Kitty. Charles offered both his arms to his sisters and walked them into the dining room. It was time for dinner.

Hey y'all! Don't forget to review and tell me what you think please! If you have a suggestion for a name for my unnamed OC please feel free to put one forward.
