I was rudely awakened the next morning, by a knock on my door. Before I had the chance to say or even move, the door was pushed open and Lizzy hurried into the room.

One hand on her growing stomach and a big smile on her face.

"Mary. I am so happy for you. This mansion is just breathtaking." she gushed, hurrying over to me und hugging me. I smiled. That I knew and I still couldn't believe it.

"Thank you. I am so glad that you are here. Is Mr. Darcy with you?"

"Of course. He would never miss your wedding. He is greeting your fiancé at the moment." Lizzy said and I felt a hot shiver running down my back, just thinking of him as my fiancé.

"I am happy to have you here, if you wait one moment, I get dressed and I can show you the library. It is unbelievable." The sparkle in Lizzy's eyes told me that she couldn't wait to see my favorite place of the mansion.

I quickly climbed out of my bed and went to a smaller room nearby, washing myself and getting dressed into a simple blue dress. Which was still very elegant, as most dresses Joana had given me. They all had been hers once, but she said she couldn't wear them anymore, as she was too old. I didn't think so, as she was incredible beautiful and didn't look old to me.

After I had pulled my hair back into the usual bun I wore, I exited the small changing room.

"You look very pretty." Lizzy told me with a smile and I blushed a little. I still wasn't used to getting compliments and wasn't sure if it was the truth or if the people were just being nice.

"Thank you. Shall we go?" I asked and offered my hand to her. Lizzy smiled brightly, taking my hand. I lead her out of my room and down the hallway to the library that wasn't far from where I stayed.

I opened the door of the library and smiled when I heard Lizzy's gasp.

"That is…" she said, not finding a word to describe it. She looked around wide eyed and I knew exactly how she felt. I had felt the same way when I had walked into the library for the first time.

I was so distracted by my sister, that I didn't see the other people in the room. At least not until he spoke.

"Good Morning. I hope you rested well." I turned to look at Henry and Mr. Darcy standing close to one of the windows.

"Yes. I have." I smiled at him, before I turned to Mr. Darcy.

"It is nice to see you again. Mr. Darcy." I greeted him and curtsied.

"The pleasure is all mine." he answered bowing his head, before walking over to his wife. I could see the love he felt for her and his unborn child and that made me smile. This was what Lizzy deserved.

I couldn't watch them any longer because Henry walked up to me and smiled shortly before saying:

"You look very pretty, my love." He shortly touched my cheek with his fingertips, before leaning a little closer to me.

"I prefer your hair open though. You have no reason to hide it. It looks perfect." he whispered and I felt myself blushing.

"Thank you." I actually had forgotten about my hair this morning when Lizzy had woken me. It was so natural for me to pull my hair into the bun in the nape of my neck. That I hadn't thought about it. Or the fact that Henry had told me a few times, he prefered to see my hair open.

"I need to see your dress Mary. I am so excited." Lizzy interrupted our moment and Henry immediately made a step back. I could see by the look on his face that he wasn't happy about that interruption. But he kept a straight face.

"Of course. Come with me. I will show it to you." I smiled and left the room with my favorite sister.


"Incredible…" I heard a high pitched voice when I was on my way to my room after showing my dress to Lizzy. She had loved it and so did I. I couldn't get enough of looking at it.

And there was just one day separating me from wearing it and consequently becoming Henry's wife.

"I know. You have to see the ballroom though." another female voice answered and I froze when I realized who was happily gushing in the entrance hall.

Two of my sisters. Lydia and Kitty.

But when Lydia was at the mansion, it meant that Mr. Wickham was around too. I really didn't want him in my home.

I hurried over to the banister to have a look into the entrance hall and it was as I had expected. Next to my wide eyed sister Lydia stood no one else than the man who had tried to charm Georgina in running away with him.

Fortunately she had told her brother about it, but my sister hadn't been this smart. She still didn't understand how horrible her actions had been. What trouble and pain she had caused the family.

I stood at the banister, unsure of what to do. Should I go downstairs and greet them, or put it off for a little while. As I knew that sooner or later I had to greet them.

The decision was taken from me, when hey spotted me at the top of the stairs.

"Mariiiii…." Lydia screeched and I rolled my eyes, before descending the stairs. In the entrance hall I was faced with three of the most difficult and strenuous people I had ever met.

Kitty, Lydia and Mr. Wickham. Though I didn't even glance his way. Still remembering what he had done to Georgiana.
