"Will you marry me?" Washington asked. We all held out breath as we heard her starting to cry.
"Come on Angie say yes." I said quietly as I heard her laughing.
"Of course I will." She said as we all silently cheered as they walked out of the room.
"How much did you hear?" Angelica asked blushing as Peggy and I embraced her.
"We heard everything! Angie you're getting married!" I said as she laughed.
"Wait what are you going to do about Seabury and Daddy?" Peggy asked worried as Angelica looked at Washington and she reached for his hand.
"We are going to figure out." Angelica said squeezing his hand.
"Well, I think we can run. But we need to pack everything tonight." Alexander said as Washington nodded.
"We can go to Mount Vernon. I have a home there where we can all stay for a while." Washington said as Angelica nodded.
"Okay, then we have a lot of work to do." I said as Angelica and Peggy went into our room. "Alexander, do you think we could borrow a trunk?" I asked as he nodded.
"I'll send Laf up with it." He said as I nodded and kissed his cheek. I walked back into our room as I closed the door.
"Angie! I can't believe it. You are going to get married!" Peggy said excited as Angelica pulled out her dresses and started to fold them up while she was blushing and kept looking at her ring. I started to fold quilts as we chattered quietly while Peggy open the door for Laf while he brought in the trunk.
"Should be big enough." Laf said as he put it on the floor.
"So Lafayette, do you get to go home to France?" I asked as he looked down.
"Not yet. France has to still decide." Laf said sadly as I patted his shoulder.
"I'm sorry Lafayette." I said as he smiled.
"It's alright." Laf said as he kissed my knuckles then walked out.
"Let's hurry and pack." Angie said as we I started to layer our dresses and shoes in the bottom of the trunk while Peggy started to put the small wooden box that we use to hold our jewelry in next to the few books that we had as I put the quilts and blankets in. I heard yelling outside as I walked over to the window and saw Hercules and Laurens hitching two horses to two different carts as I saw Burr bring out horses that were geared up and ready to go. We finished packing up our room as we walked out and hurried downstairs to the kitchen where we saw Alexander and Washington raising a glass.
"To your future sir." Alexander said as I smiled at them.
"How is the packing coming along?" Angelica asked as she raised her eyebrow.
"It is coming along swimmingly. Hamilton and I are about to start moving some of the furniture out to the carts. I take it you three are finished packing your trunk?" Washington said as Angelica smiled through the candle light. She walked up to him and kissed him lightly as Alexander kissed me quickly.
"We need to start working on the kitchen." I said as Angelica pulled away from Washington and nodded.
"And you boys still need to pack." She reminded as Washington nodded.
"They already have my love." Washington said as she sighed.
"We should get working." Peggy said as Angie shooed the boys out of our way. We started to pack up some of the kitchen supplies. "Wait our aprons." Peggy said as she hurried to us with our three aprons as Angie and I while we folded them and put them in the trunk as Laurens hurried back in to grab the trunk.
"We are about to leave." He said as we nodded.
"Okay." I said as he hurried out with the trunk over her shoulder.
"Come on let get our cloaks on and then go and start our lives." Angelica said as Peggy ran to the hooks that hung our cloaks and started to put it on as she lifted the hood over her large flower crown as it fell in her face. Angelica laughed as she fixed the crown and kissed her forehead as I put mine on and we all walked out.
"Alright, here you ladies go. Nice and slightly comfortable cart full of hay." Laurens said with a grin on his face as we laughed.
"Thank you John." I said as Peggy was helped in by Hercules and Laurens helped Angelica and I in.
"There's blankets in there if you need them. We are riding out here in a bit." Laurens said as we nodded.
"Thank you." Angelica said patting his hand. He nodded and hurried back to the house as they cleared the rest out.
"Angie, where are we going?" Peggy asked rubbing her eyes. "We're not going too far hon. Get some sleep." Angelica said covering her up with one of the blankets that was left for us.
"Okay." She said sleepily as she drifted off to sleep. Washington and Alexander hurried over to us with torches as I took off my hood.
"We are about to leave. We should be there by morning. Then by the time your father or Seabury come here to find you ladies, then we will be long gone." Washington said as Angelica took his hand.
"Are you sure this is the best idea?" Angelica asked as Washington nodded.
"I promise we will be fine." Washington said as he kissed her knuckles.
"Get some rest. Will be there soon." Washington said as Angie nodded and they hurried away to make sure they had everything taken care of. I laid down in the soft hay as Angelica covered me up.
"Good night Liza." Angelica said as I started to fall asleep while the cart started to move.
"Let's move out." Washington called out as the cart that held up started to move. I snuggled next to Angelica and Peggy as we felt the horses stop.
"Hey, we are going to water the horses. It's nearly day break. You can get up and wander around for a bit." Alexander said as I rubbed my eyes and sat up. He chuckled as I looked at him confused.
"What's funny?" I asked confused as he brushed some hay out of my hair as I blushed.
"Come on, I'll help you out." Alexander asked as I took his hand and I got out of the cart will I helped Peggy and Angelica out.
"Are we almost there?" Peggy asked as she took her hood off as she walked over to Hercules.
"Almost Pegs." Hercules said as he pecked her forehead as I walked over to the lake and knelt in front of the water. I splashed my face with the cold lake water as I felt myself wake up with the coldness on my face.
"Liza?" Angelica called out as I got up and brushed off my teal dress and I hurried back over to her. "I think Alexander needs to talk to you." Angie said giggling as she pointed behind me. I turned around and saw Alexander drop something to the ground. I giggled and hurried over to him as he picked up the small item from the ground.
"What is that?" I said as he nearly dropped it again. "Well, I was going to give this to you earlier but things happened. I saw this in one of the shops and I thought of you." Alexander said as he pulled out a small silver bracelet that had a small sapphire in the middle of it as it was surrounded by two smaller diamonds. "Oh Alexander. This is beautiful." I said as I hugged him tightly. "Why did you get this?" I asked whispering to him as he pulled me close and helped me put it on.
"Because it been almost a year and a half since we have meet." Alexander said as I smiled at him and ran my fingers through his ponytail.
"I love it Alexander. I love you so much." I said as I kissed him on the lips lightly as I heard Washington clear his throat.
"I am sorry to interrupt but we need to get moving." Washington said as we took a step back and we saw that Laurens, Laf, Hercules and Burr already ready to go as Washington got to his horse.
"Sorry sir." Alexander said as he helped me getting into the hay cart as Alexander went to the cart that was with the trunks and bits of furniture that we had as Laurens motioned for the horse that was attached to the hay cart that held us and things from the barn in them as we started moving again. I yawned as Peggy started to weave pieces of hay to keep herself busy.
"So Angie, what are you going to do for your wedding to General George Washington?" I whispered to her as she blushed and smacked my arm playfully.
"Elizabeth Schuyler. He can probably hear you." Angie whispered back to me as Peggy looked up from her hay weaving and giggled.
"Angelica? Could Eliza and I be your bridesmaid's?" Peggy asked as Angelica giggled.
"Of course, Peggy. Eliza will be my maid of honor and you will be my bridesmaid." Angie said as Peggy smiled.
"I bet Hercules will make your dress." Peggy said as I saw a large mansion size house and I gasped.
"Look, I think that's it." I said pointing excited. We arrived at the large mansion as Laurens parked the horses in front of a stable. Washington hopped off his horse and ran over to the cart to help Angelica out of the cart as he put her down while he spun her around.
"Welcome to our new home." He said proudly as he put her down while her skirt fluttered around in the wind as the sun finally rose above the large mansion.
"This is absolutely beautiful." Angelica said as I was speechless while we walked up the front steps and inside.
"This was given to me by my family. My first wife Martha before she passed away, she had the entire place looking lively. But after the British took her life, it started to fall into ruins but I managed to contact an old friend of mine and he has taken care of it while we were away fighting for what was ours." Washington said sadly as Angelica squeezed his hand. Peggy turned to face us all as she ran ahead of us.
"This place is huge." She said as Washington smiled at her.
"Why don't I show you all to your rooms." Washington said as she nodded and all followed him upstairs. "Mulligan and Lafayette for you two. Burr your room is right here next to them. and Laurens for you two. And finally, you ladies can follow me." Washington said as the guys went to their rooms while we followed him down the hallway to two rooms and Washington opened one door and we walked in. "This was for you ladies. I was hoping to surprise Angelica with the next room." Washington said as we nodded.
"You and I will be sharing a room?" Angelica said with a nervous smile on her lips.
"Well of course, we are going to be married soon." Washington said as Angelica's face flashed worried and turned to face us.
"You two don't mind, do you?" She asked concerned as we shook our heads.
"No, it's fine. Good on Angie." I said as she smiled.
"Come along Angie. I'll show you our future room." Washington said as he extended his hand to her as she took it and they walked out.
"What bed do you want Peggy?" I asked she choose the one closest to the window while I choose the one wall. "I think I can hear Angie through the wall." I said as I pressed my ear against the wall.
"What is going on?" Peggy asked as I heard her saying the room was amazing.
"Wait, I think she just asked about his first wife." I said as I heard the muttering quite clear.
"Well, you would have liked her. She was beautiful like you, charming. But she never stood for much. But you on the other hand. I know what you stand for." Washington said as I awed over the answer.
"I think they are going to be fine together." I said proudly as I moved away from the wall with a smile.
"Come on let's go get our trunk!" Peggy said excited as she took off running downstairs as I laughed.
"What's so funny?" Alexander asked peeking out from his room.
"My sister is being a goof." I said laughing.
"Eliza could I ask you something?" He asked as I looked at him worried.
"Is everything okay?" I asked concerned as he nodded.
"Yes of course. Eliza, have you ever thought about us being more then what we are now?" He asked as I raised my eyebrow.
"Alexander Hamilton are you proposing?" I asked as he shook his head.
"Not yet but I know that I want you in my future." He said as I felt my heart go boom.
"You do?" I asked as he nodded.
"I do." He said with a smile. "Someday if I asked?" He asked nervously as I giggled and pecked his cheek.
"Well, then someday I will say yes." I said with a smile playing on my lips.
