Lizzie set up the camera and then hit the record button.

"Will! Come here please! I'm shooting the update video for the viewers!", Lizzie called out to Darcy.

She turned to the camera and said, "Hey, guys! It's been a few weeks since I've updated you on what's been going on. As you can see, this video has a new background."

She gestured around her. "I'm in the living room of my new home! I have officially moved in with William! My license even says so… But you all don't care about us anymore, do you? Everything is about the baby now, huh? The baby this, the baby that! Well fine, I'll give you some details about our child.", she said with a smile.

"My name is Lizzie Bennet, and let me formally introduce you all to-"

"I am here, Lizzie.", Darcy interrupted.

*Cue theme music*

"Just in time, babe. I was just about to introduce the viewers to Little Bowtie.", she mentioned as she grabbed Darcy's hand and pulled him down onto the couch.

"Yes, Little Bowtie.", he said with a smile. "We have decided to keep the gender to ourselves until after the baby is born."

"Mmhmm! We already know what it's going to be and we have a name picked out already, but a viewer suggested the nickname to us and we thought it suited us perfectly.", she said with a twinkle in her eye. She knew Aaron was going to be watching and the little shout-out would make him very happy.

"And bowties are cool.", Darcy added, trying to be funny.

"Gosh, Will, you are so lame.", Lizzie teased.

"You fell in love with me, though, so…"

"Anywayyy…", Lizzie said with a chuckle, "By the time this video is uploaded, I will be 20 weeks pregnant! Crazy, right? I'm only halfway there and I'm already over it. I've been so moody lately and uncomfortable and difficult. My boyfriend deserves all the awards! He's been very supportive and he's put up with my crazy sleeping arrangements. A round of applause for William Darcy, everyone."

Darcy smiled and put his head down in embarrassment. It was only him and Lizzie in the whole house, but he could feel the tens of thousands of eyes that would be on him when they watched the video.

"Now, now, Lizzie. I don't deserve all the recognition. You are the one that is doing all the hard work. You are the one worthy of praise. You are doing a fantastic job carrying Little Bowtie and I know that when that baby joins us out here, you will be an amazing mother.", he professed before kissing her hand.

"Awwww, Will.", she replied with a big smile. Lizzie gave Darcy a kiss on the cheek. "See what I mean, guys? He's too good to me."

"You, Lizzie Bennet, deserve nothing but the best. I think we will probably be old and gray by the time I get you to understand that.", Darcy stated.

Lizzie smiled at his use of 'old and gray'. It felt simultaneously daunting and comforting to know that she found the person who she was going to spend the rest of her life with. "Before we get off track, let me finish giving you guys the goods! I'm due in early November, so Little Bowtie will be here before the holiday season!"

Darcy made a pondering expression before asking, "Are you going to dress up for Halloween this year? You didn't last year at Collins&Collins."

"I don't know, Will. I'll be about to pop! Maybe. What do the viewers think? What could I be for Halloween? It's a little early to start thinking about it, considering we're in June… but why the hell not? Comment below with your ideas for my pregnant Halloween costume."

"Do you remember Halloween last year?", Darcy asked with a frown.

"I don't think I'll ever forget it. The day that you declared your love for me and I turned you down and then proceeded to upload it to the internet..." Lizzie grimaced. "That was baaaad. Let's not go back there. We got together in the end, didn't we? That's all that matters."

"Agreed… Did you tell them about the progress on your project?"

"Nope. Thanks for reminding me, Will. I've got footage and an awesome person to help me, so my pilot episode for my new project will be up this weekend! Subscribe to the channel Lizzie B.'s Costume Party! Links are in the description!"

"Yes, please subscribe. Lizzie has put a lot of effort into it…"

"Truer words have never been spoken."

"I think we're done here, my love."

"Yeah. We've told them all the important stuff… Oh wait, belly shot!"

Lizzie got up from the couch and turned to the side to make the bump more visible.

"Bye!", Lizzie said, her head still out of frame.

Darcy just waved.

After shutting off the camera, Lizzie bent down to give Darcy a proper kiss and said, "Thank you for joining me in the video."

He got up and replied, "You are very welcome. I'm going to get back to my office now. I have an important meeting in a few days and need to prepare."

The next day, Lizzie uploaded the video and along with the expected burst of comments and tweets from fans, she received a few Domino phone calls throughout the day from Charlotte and her parents and Lydia.

While Lizzie was selecting props to use for her costume theater version of one of the interviews, Charlotte called to suggest that Lizzie and Darcy dress up as ketchup and mustard like she and Ricky did the year before.

"Uhh, no way.", Lizzie said laughing.

"I was kidding, bestie. What I really called for was to ask what is up with that picture you tweeted on Saturday? You and Caroline? Really?"

Lizzie filled Charlotte in on Caroline's apology and then promised to send the footage from Caroline's story.

Her family back home all saw the new video and her mother was itching to call Lizzie and tell her off for rejecting Darcy the first time around. Mrs. Bennet hadn't been informed that Darcy had asked Lizzie out before. Lydia intervened when her father was going to click on the infamous video.

"Darcy wasn't very nice back then. It's better if we don't watch it, dad. Like, seriously.", she whispered to her father.

"Oh.", was all Mr. Bennet said. Lydia's tone said it all.

Mr. Bennet lied to his wife and told her Lizzie had removed the video, but when he dialed Lizzie and her face showed up on his cell phone, the first thing Lizzie heard was:

"Are you kiddin' me?! Elizabeth Bennet, I can't believe you! Oh my poor nerves! He almost slipped away!"

Lizzie and Darcy had just eaten and were cuddled up on a bench outside reading baby facts in honor of the 20 weeks, when her family called.

"I do not think it is wise to yell at your daughter, Francine.", Darcy interrupted. "I am just reading here that Isabella can hear us now."

Lizzie laughed, "Yeah, mom. You don't want your first grandbaby to be scared of you."

Mrs. Bennet calmed down at once.

They spent a long time after the phone call talking to their unborn daughter and telling her that they couldn't wait to meet her. Little Isabella didn't understand a word. She just knew that the two voices she heard made her feel good; so good that she wanted to move around. She wasn't ready yet, though.

Darcy had a really rough day at work the next day. His meeting with an important foreign investor didn't go particularly well, even though he had worked really hard on his presentation. That failure could result in a major financial hit to Pemberley Digital. He hadn't failed so considerably at anything since he was rejected by Lizzie. He took those sour feelings home with him.

He was silent at dinner and didn't spend time with Lizzie afterwards like he usually did. He was in his office until pretty late, trying to work on a better proposition. Even as he and Lizzie got ready for bed, Darcy was still really bothered. Lizzie had tried her best to soothe him with words of encouragement, but to no avail.

"Sit down, Will.", she ordered Darcy as he angrily fluffed a pillow. He sat on the edge of the bed.

She grabbed his face in her hands and said, "I know what happened today was terrible, but you can't let it get you down. You have to go in to work tomorrow and show your employees that it isn't the end of the world. Your company is popular. The idiot that backed out will be wishing he didn't soon enough."

"But I am still frustrated. I know I can't go to work tomorrow with a bad attitude but I can't help it right now.", he said angrily. "I am so sorry you have to see me like this, Lizzie. I have improved myself in many ways, but dealing with a failure of this magnitude has proved rather difficult."

"Then how about we get your mind off of it for a little while?", Lizzie asked sweetly before sitting on his lap and putting her arms around his neck. "What do you say?"

She kissed him tenderly and he quickly responded with vigor. His mind was no longer back at Pemberley. His thoughts were now preoccupied with the soft feeling of Lizzie's lips and the warmth of her skin against his.

Lizzie and Darcy were lost in each other when his phone rang.

"Are you gonna get that?", Lizzie asked between kisses.

"I'd rather not.", he answered before turning his attentions to Lizzie's neck.

"Maybe it has to do with Pemberley…", Lizzie suggested worriedly.

"I will answer, but do not move or it shall be a very entertaining phone call for whoever is on the other end.", he joked.

Lizzie giggled. "I will try my best." She was happy to see his sense of humor had returned.

He picked up the phone and saw the caller ID.

"It is Gigi.", he informed Lizzie.

He grew tense. It was late and Gigi knew he was usually asleep by then, so it must be an emergency.

Lizzie felt anxious. "Calling at this time? I hope everything's okay..."

Darcy answered and put the phone on speaker.

"Hey, big brotherrr!", Gigi said with a bit of a slur.

"Gigi, is everything alright?!", he asked with concern.

"Yeah. I'm calling because I just saw Lizzie's video! I was superrr busy yesterday and today and I missed it. She's getting soooo big! My niece is going to be awesome! Lizzie should totally go zombie this year for Halloween. With fake baby doll arms glued to her belly and fake blooood-", she said really quickly.

"Damn it, Georgiana!", he said interrupted sternly. Darcy became very annoyed. He didn't want to think about blood and zombies right now. He had every intention of resuming his coital activities and focusing on those things would undoubtedly kill the mood.

"Gosh, brro. I'm sorry I called, I was just-"

"Do you know what time it is… and are you drunk?!", he asked angrily. His feelings about the investor were seeping into this conversation with Gigi. He wanted to take his frustration out on something and his sister became the unlucky target.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorrrry, William! I lost track of timee. I was at my neww friend Clara's housee and she was having problems with this guyy she likes and-"

"Baby, stop overreacting. Don't get mad at Gigi! It's a simple mistake. And she's 21 years old, she is allowed to drink. Need I remind you of how our daughter came to be?", said Lizzie, trying to calm him down.

"Were you sleeping? I didn't mean to wake you.", asked Gigi.

"No, we weren't sleeping, we were- nevermind. You know not to call me so late and especially not when you are drunk! Is that what you're doing in Sanditon? Drinking? You're supposed to be promoting and beta-testing Domino!"

"Will!", Lizzie interjected.

"No, bro! We got a little carried away. I'm sorry-", Gigi tried apologizing again.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack calling so late. Am I going to have to pull you off the Domino team?!", he threatened.

"William get off of me.", Lizzie said firmly.

"What?", he asked, baffled.

"Get off. Now.", Lizzie demanded.

"Uhh… what's going on?", asked Gigi.

Darcy did as told.

She hurried off the bed and started putting on her clothes.

"What are you doing?", he asked.

"Good night, Gigi. You can hang up now. Get some sleep! I'll call you tomorrow, okay?", Lizzie said loudly so Gigi could hear. She grabbed a few pillows.

"Okay, bye… Sorry!", Gigi said before hanging up.

"Lizzie?"

"There was no need for you to take your rage out on Gigi! If she would've called any other day, you wouldn't have blown up like that! You need to deal with your anger by yourself. You lost an investor. Big freakin' deal! I'm going to go sleep in my old room. I'm pregnant, William! I don't need to be around your nasty attitude right now!"

Darcy could not believe this was happening right now. He rubbed his temples as he bitterly replied, "You do not understand! Wait until you have to deal with the financial responsibilities of a owning a company!"

She was already out the door when she yelled, "Douchebag!"

"Lizzie!", Darcy called out. She didn't respond and he punched the bed in anger.

Neither one slept well. They each missed the presence of the other and were left unsatisfied from their unfinished activities.

Darcy got up as soon as he saw a dim sliver of sunlight peek through the curtain. He was so worked up, he ran for over an hour that morning.

Lizzie had a really uncomfortable night and was not in a very good mood. She ate breakfast alone in the kitchen and drank out of the special mug Darcy made for her in spite of her anger at him. She opened the dishwasher to put away her dishes and saw that Darcy had also used the mug she made him. As she put her mug in, she read the note he painted on hers.

"I love you, Lizzie.

Just a reminder.

-William"

She was unable to stop the brief feeling of butterflies when she read it.

"I know you do, Will. But no! He can't just lash out at people like that.", she reminded herself of why she was mad in the first place.

Lizzie was on her way out the front door when Darcy stopped her.

"Lizzie... about last night…"

"It's not me you should be apologizing to, Darcy."

Ouch; that stung. "Elizabeth, come on. I am sorry, okay? I left Gigi an apology text and I will call her later on to make sure she is fine. I let my frustration get the best of me last night…"

"Damn right you did! What the hell, William? If that's how you're gonna get whenever things don't go your way, I think we need to rethink some things."

"Hold on, Lizzie! Why are you so quick to try to leave? Let us discuss this. I got carried away, I admit it. But you have to understand my point of view. It is not as if I spilled coffee on my favorite shirt or something as trivial as that! A very prestigious foreign company wants to break ties with Pemberley and that could have very negative consequences for my company and its employees. I apologize for my behavior last night. It was uncalled for and I will endeavor to keep it from happening again."

"Good. Now look, I don't feel too great right now. I've gotta go catch my bus so I can make it to my office on time to meet Aaron. We've got to get all the costume theater recorded and edited by the weekend, remember? So if we're done talking, I'd like to leave. I accept your apology. I don't wanna fight. I'll see you at dinner."

"Wait, Lizzie, I have something to show you."

"What is it?"

"Come with me.", he said as he held out his hand.

"Will, I don't have time for this…"

"Please?"

Lizzie sighed exaggeratedly but grabbed his hand and let him lead her.
