"My wedding day was one of the best days I had ever experienced" A 60 year and some old Elizabeth told the different faces looking up at her as a storm growled outside the window. "I was promising to spend my life with the best man I knew as my favourite person did the same next to me, my sister Jane"

"That's Charlie's grandma" announced, 7 year old Amy excitedly at the mention of her red haired friend.

"Indeed it is, little one" said Benjamin picking up his cousin, 8 years his junior as her gold curls jumped as laughter sounded from her lips caused by the tickles Benjamin was running along her stomach.

"That's so romantic, sharing your special day with your best friend" Benjamin, often called Ben announced with a sigh once he had calmed the squealing girl, his mind no later going to the subject that often plagued it, love.

This statement caused a snort deemed unladylike by many to come from his elder sister.

"Anything is romantic for you, Benjamin " seethed the eldest of the Darcy cousins and a promised future spinster, 18 year old Margaret, as she tugged on the plaits that her dark hair was pulled into, promptly ignoring the tsks from her grandmother at her snort and the giggles from her cousins.

"Oh don't be so dreary Meg", said their younger sister, Mary, "being in love sounds exciting and imagine the balls you could attend" who was quite jealous at the fact that her sister would soon be able to attend balls and she had another 7 years before she could.

Elizabeth chuckled at the antics of the siblings, her attention soon being drawn by the sound of her second grandson's voice.

"Thank you for telling us that story, again, grandma" spoke Thomas, a bit of annoyance laced in his squeaky voice that he had discovered changed often just as his cousin's had done when he was his age.

Elizabeth Darcy was quite fond of the story of her husband's and her own courtship, so it was no surprise that she told it to her children until they knew it word for word and it was with no surprise as well that she would go on to speak animatedly to her grandchildren about the hatred and love she had felt for their grandfather in the earlier part of her life but unlike the romantic Benjamin, many such as 14 year old Thomas soon grew bored of hearing the same love story multiple times.

"Unlike you may think, Thomas, the story does not end there" she told them, her mind already using memories to craft a story that she was unable to tell her children.

Once she had noticed that she had grabbed the attention of her grandchildren once again she continued, "despite what Meg thinks that one's story ends with marriage, it only gets more exciting"

"I do doubt that" muttered a stubborn Meg, shaking her head.

"Oh, do hush" Mary scolded her elder sister. "Please do tell us the rest of the story, grandma" she continued turning to her grandmother.

Meg playfully tugged on a piece of her sister's unruly hair that was tied back by a ribbon in admonishment of her scolding.

Shaking her head as Elizabeth noticed how Amy bobbed her head, her eyes closing slightly "I shall, another time" she informed them standing up, feeling her old bones creak as she picked up a tired Amy from Ben "for now you should go on to bed"

A/n well then that was horrible and short but I do already know what I want for a second chapter all I got to do now is word it, wish me luck and tell me what you think about the grandchildren and this chapter.
