"Check this out, Will!", Lizzie said excitedly as she ran into Darcy's office at Pemberley on a Monday afternoon.

"Whoa, slow down, Lizzie.", he cautioned. "What has you so excited?"

"Look what came in the mail this morning!", she announced, waving around her new license and voter registration cards. Since she had officially moved to San Francisco with Darcy two weeks ago, she had filled out change of address forms for all her important documents.

Darcy smiled, amused at her excitement of sharing the same address as him.

"It's official now.", Darcy commented.

"Yup!", she said making her way around his desk to sit on his lap.

"What are your plans for lunch? I am really busy today, so I was thinking perhaps we could just order from Pemberley's cafeteria and have them bring it up?", Darcy suggested as he patted Lizzie's belly. "What do you say? What are you and Isabella in the mood for?"

"Actually, we can't lunch with you today... Part of the reason why I came over was to show you my new address but also because I had received a call from my co-producer. We have yet to meet face-to-face, and he suggested we meet for lunch. We might also go visit the building Aunt Catherine is renting to us so we can start setting up shop."

"Oh, okay. No problem. I'll try my best to get home in time for dinner, then, so that we can share at least one meal together today. Are you excited to meet him, this co-producer? What is his name again?"

"Aaron. Aaron Fields. I'm really eager to finally meet him so that I can determine if we'll work well together. He looks great on paper and sounded nice on the phone, but you never really know."

"Well hopefully he's perfect for you so you don't have to waste time searching for another producer."

"That's the plan... Well, I've gotta go, babe. Wish me luck!"

"Wait, let me walk you out. You have refused to let me get you a personal chauffeur; this is the least I can do."

"Alright.", she agreed as she got off of Darcy's lap.

Darcy opened the door for her and as soon as he closed the door behind him, he got ahold of her hand. They walked, hand in hand, to the elevator, being greeted and congratulated by a few Pemberley employees. Not many people at the company knew about Lizzie's videos, but word that she and Darcy were an item and that she was pregnant spread like wildfire.

"I'll see you later, Will.", Lizzie said when they reached the lobby of the building. "Thanks for walking me out. I feel bad about ditching you for lunch, though.", she confessed as she squeezed his torso. That was the easiest way to hug him due to their height difference.

"It is perfectly okay. I'm busy, too, my darling. Besides... you can always make it up to me later.", he whispered in her ear as he slid his hands down from Lizzie's lower back to her bottom.

He helped himself to a generous squeeze, which caused Lizzie to gasp and look around to determine if anyone had seen.

She blushed and hit Darcy on the chest. "William Darcy! Not in public, and definitely not at Pemberley!", she whispered, still checking to see if anyone had noticed.

Darcy laughed at her, enjoying the pink shade that now colored her face. "What are they going to do? Fire me?"

Lizzie rolled her eyes at him and laughed. "The perks of being your own boss. Yet another reason why I look forward to succeeding with this project... Which reminds me, I'm going to be late if I don't leave soon, baby."

"Of course. It was never my intention to hold you up."

"Then can you let go of my ass, Will?"

Darcy sighed and reluctantly moved his hands to Lizzie's waist. "You know... you could always just take my car. Or I can have someone come pick you up..."

"Thanks, but no thanks. I like taking the bus. I get to see more of the city."

"If you say so..."

"Yes, I say so.", she said with a smile.

Lizzie moved her hands to Darcy's face and caressed his cheeks with her thumbs.

"Why is he so damn cute?! Will this feeling ever fade?", she wondered as she tip-toed to place a tender kiss on his lips before leaving.

She was out the glass door soon after and turned around to wave to Darcy, who was waiting until she was out of site. He waved back with a smile as she disappeared into the busy streets of San Francisco.

"Stubborn woman. Why waste time with public transportation? I am definitely going to get her a new car.", Darcy decided as he headed toward Pemberley's cafeteria.


Lizzie arrived at the restaurant and was surprised to find that Mr. Aaron Fields was a hottie. Like, he was smokin'.

"How is he not a model?", Lizzie asked herself in disbelief. He seemed to be about thirty years old; he was tall with dark blonde hair and the most amazing hazel eyes. "And is that a designer suit? That thing must've cost a fortune. Is this guy rich or something?"

"Ms. Bennet! It's a pleasure to finally meet you!", he said in a cheerful tone as he extended his hand.

Lizzie shook it and replied, "Please, call me Elizabeth. I'm sorry we couldn't meet sooner. I graduated from grad school a few weeks ago and-"

"I know! I watch your videos.", he said with a laugh.

"Oh! Okay... Well then, since you know a lot about me, tell me a little about yourself, Aaron. It's only fair.", she said.

"Well, let's see... I graduated from grad school a few years back. I majored in film production. I've directed a few short movies that were shown at film festivals in several states. I-"

"I know all this! You have an amazing resume. I meant for you to share about yourself."

"Ooohh. Hmm. I'm from a big family. I have four younger brothers. My mom patented this thing back in the 80's and she made a fortune. Uhh, I'm single. Oh, and I omitted this from my resume because I wanted you to take me seriously, but I also model occasionally. I won't take any jobs when we're working on the project, though; I throw myself 100% into my work."

"I knew it!", Lizzie thought smugly after hearing him speak.

She had a nice lunch with Aaron and decided that he would be awesome to work with. He was a little too talkative, but she preferred that to someone who was too reserved. She suggested they check out Aunt Catherine's building and he agreed.

"When would you be available? I would take us but I didn't drive here.", she lamented.

"I have my car. We could go now, if you want."

"Oh, perfect! I've only been there a handful of times, but it's amazing. So much space!"

Lizzie and Aaron visited the location and walked around, discussing what to do with the space. As Aaron had had previous experience on movie sets, he was able to give his advice and Lizzie gladly accepted it.

"You know, I think we can shoot the pilot soon. I'll get in contact with the investors and let them know I have a co-producer and location. All we would need is funding for the pilot and some advertisements and we'd be good to go. If it is received well, which I'm confident it will be, then we can get more funding to continue the show."

"That sounds great, Elizabeth. I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm sorry but I have to ask: Why are you so interested in being part of this project? You gave a pretty good answer when we did the phone interview but now that I know a little more about you, I'm curious again. Surely you could find a modeling gig with no problem, and with your resume I'm sure you could book a job on a real film set..."

"When my agent told me Lizzie Bennet of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries was looking for a producer for a new project, how could I not be interested? Frankly, I'm a fan of your videos, and I am passionate about film and entertainment. The internet seems to be taking over as the primary means of scripted content and I believe, with your fan base, we can make something huge.", he expressed sincerely.

Lizzie was not expecting that. "Wow... great response! It's going to be a pleasure working with you.", Lizzie said sticking out her hand for a goodbye hand shake.

Aaron offered her a ride, but she declined. She thought it'd be weird for him to know where she lived so soon. She spent her commute sending emails and making phone calls to investors and before she reached the bus stop near her house, Lizzie had secured the money necessary to make the pilot episode.

On her short walk to the gates of her home, Lizzie called Aaron and left him a message telling him about the funding. "Give me a call so we can decide the best day to go out and interview people for their anecdotes."


When Darcy finally got home from work, he found Lizzie finishing up a phone call.

"Alright. Perfect. This Saturday, then?", Lizzie said to the phone before blowing a kiss at Darcy, who had appeared in the doorway. "Yes, that would be an ideal location... Okay, bye."

Lizzie was in the living room, watching TV and waiting for Darcy, when Aaron called back to finalize details of their plan to find people to interview.

"What's happening on Saturday?", Darcy asked as he joined Lizzie on the couch. He grabbed Lizzie's feet and started massaging them for her.

"That was Aaron. I got the money for the pilot episode of the show! We're gonna go to that really busy park near the Marina to get anecdotes from people. Then we'll record my costume theater versions at the office building."

"So your meeting with Aaron went well?"

"Yeah. He's really knowledgeable about filming and stuff. Oh, and he's super hot. Turns out that he dabbles in modeling as well. I'm gonna ask if he wants to be one of the costume theater cast. The ladies of the internet will swoon.", Lizzie said with a chuckle.

Darcy's eyebrows shot up in response. "A really well-rounded man, I see.", he said dryly.

"William Darcy, are you jealous?", Lizzie teased in a sing-song voice.

"I come home from a long day at work to find my girlfriend conversing with some guy she thinks is attractive. I am not jealous, but I am not exactly happy about it either.", answered Darcy. He used more force when massaging Lizzie's feet to emphasize his point.

"Oh please, Will! As if I could ever have eyes for anybody else but you. You don't ever need to worry about that. Ever. Have you forgotten I'm pregnant with your kid? I just happen to think he's hot. Don't act like you don't notice beautiful women."

"I do not.", as if she had offended him.

"Well then I give you permission to start noticing. It's not going to hurt my feelings if you see a woman and think she's hot. I totally trust you."

"I am looking at the most beautiful woman in the world right now. Ever since I laid eyes on you at that wedding, I have yet to notice anyone else."

"That's sweet, Will. Thank you.", she said. She had gotten much better at accepting compliments in the past few months. "And thank you for rubbing my feet. They were kind of killing me. Note to self: bring back-up flats to change into after meetings."

"If you had accepted my offer for a ride then maybe your feet wouldn't hurt..."

"Drop it, William. I'm fine with my means of transportation; really.", she said as she removed her feet from his lap and got up. "Now, let's go eat! I was waiting for you but I'm starving, babe. Little Isabella is sucking the life out of me."

"You've been carrying our daughter for 19 weeks today, Lizzie. Almost half way there.", he mentioned after getting up.

"I know! And I'm really starting to feel it. It's crazy how just three weeks ago we found we were having a girl. I want her out already because being pregnant has gotten a lot harder lately, but I'm also nervous about finally meeting her."

"I am sorry you have to be the one to carry her. I would trade places with you if it were possible."

"Would you? Would you really?"

"...", Darcy just stayed quiet. No way could he handle being pregnant.

"Ha ha, I didn't think so. Let's go eat! I think the cook made chicken parm!"


The rest of the week brought on a new set of pregnancy symptoms. In addition to the aching of her pelvic region that indicated the stretching of ligaments, she started to have trouble sleeping. There was less cuddling with Darcy and more cuddling with pillows. She started sleeping with pillows all around her and one between her legs. The lack of sleep brought on a higher level of irritability on Lizzie's part, which Darcy bore like a saint. She had been especially crabby the night before, so Darcy was pleasantly surprised when Lizzie invited him to join her on Saturday.

Darcy had come in from running and was on his way to wash up, when he heard a yawn from the bed.

From underneath the sea of pillows and blankets, Lizzie said, "Good morning, Will."

"Good morning. Did I wake you?"

"No. I was already awake when you came in.", she said as she sat up and stretched.

"Did you sleep well?"

"I actually did. I'm sorry about all this.", she said gesturing to the pillows.

"No need to apologize.", he said, shrugging off her apology. He really did feel bad. He had no idea how uncomfortable being pregnant was. And she was barely halfway done. "I might have to rethink my wish for five children."

"What are your plans for today, babe?"

"I was just headed to the shower and then I was going to go over some reports."

"How would you like to go to the park with me? I'll be there to get some stories for the pilot episode with Aaron, but afterwards we could make a date out of it."

"I will gladly accompany you, my love.", he answered. He could see she was in a good mood and decided to test his luck. "Would you... care to accompany me?", he asked, pointing towards the bathroom with his chin.

"Hmm, I never made it up to you for missing lunch on Monday, did I?... and you do always look really sexy after you workout...", she said with a naughty smile as she got up from the bed. "You get in the shower first; I have to brush my teeth."


Before leaving for the the park, Lizzie tweeted where she was going to be.

Going to the park by the marina. Hoping to find some people with interesting stories!

She hoped that some people would show up so that she could be certain she'd have some good material for the pilot. But she just kept getting messages and comments asking her about the baby.

"We have to make an update video soon. People are dying to know about the baby.", Lizzie noted as they parked.

"Hey, Aaron!", Lizzie said as she and Darcy walked over to the rendezvous point.

"Hi, Elizabeth!", he waved.

"This is my boyfriend, William Darcy. But you know that already.", she said with a smile.

"Yes. Nice to meet you, Mr. Darcy! Aaron Fields, but please, call me Aaron.", he said excitedly while extending his hand. He was a fan of the LBD and to see Lizzie and Darcy together was a treat.

Darcy shook his hand and said, "Likewise, Aaron. Well, then... I will be sitting at that bench over there reading these reports. Good luck with your interviews."

He kissed Lizzie on the lips and then left them to do their thing. Aaron was carrying the brand new camera and mic set that the investors' funding had paid for. They set it up and got to searching. They were maybe two minutes into their quest, when they stumbled across someone who had read Lizzie's tweet.

"Umm... Hi, Lizzie...", someone said behind her.


This Aaron dude has a purpose. He's not just some random OC I threw in to bore you all, lol. And I really don't wanna dig myself into a hole with Lizzie's project, so I'll try to be vague with it to avoid lots of inaccuracy and also to avoid boring you guys!
