Sorry this chapter is so short, but I wanted to update. I promise the next one will be longer. And sorry if I stole anybody's name for Elizabeth's mother. I wasn't sure if they mentioned it in the show or not. Please review as always!
One Week Later…
Elizabeth tidied herself and her room up that way it would look nice when her parents arrived and sister arrived. She heard the carriage pull up outside the café, "Jack!" she shouted.
He came upstairs and into her room, "Yeah?"
"I think Mommy and Daddy are here," she said, "And only Julie knows we're courting and I want to tell them I just…want to be the first to tell them."
Jack nodded, "Whatever you say my sweet Elizabeth." the young couple headed downstairs and outside where Julie was running towards Elizabeth, "Elizabeth!" she shouted.
"Hey Julie," said Elizabeth giving her a hug.
"Nice to see you again Constable," said Julie.
"Oh Julie, you can call me Jack," he said.
"Lizzie! It's so good to see you!" said William coming up and embracing her.
"Good to see you to Daddy," she said.
"Constable Thornton," William said nodding towards Jack, "It's nice to see you."
"You too Mr. Thatcher," Jack said.
"How's my little Lizzie Beth?" asked Kate coming up to Elizabeth and loving all over her.
"I'm fine but you be a little more discrete Mommy?" asked Elizabeth a little embarrassed.
"Sorry," apologized, "Oh excuse me, I don't think we've met before. Kate Thatcher," she said shaking Jack's hand.
"Constable Jack Thornton. It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Thatcher," said Jack.
"Kate, he's the Mountie I told you I assigned to be here and…" said William. Kate nodded her head in understanding.
"Well why don't we go inside, I'm sure Abigail Stanton has a good meal prepared for us," said Elizabeth. The family and Jack went inside to find Abigail preparing lunch. After Elizabeth had introduced her parents to Abigail, Abigail left so everyone could eat in private.
"So Lizzie, how have things been here in Coal Valley?" asked William.
"It's been great. I mean my students are the best. The residents are wonderful. Not that I don't miss you guys but, this is where I belong," said Elizabeth, "How's Toronto?"
"Well, Edward has been asking how you are doing?" said Kate.
Jack looked up and raised his eyebrows, "Edward?"
"Constable Edward Montclair, Lizzie's childhood friend," said Kate, "They were always so cute when they were little."
"Really? You never mentioned an Edward Elizabeth," said Jack.
"He brought me out here, he went back to Toronto, end of story," said Elizabeth.
"We always thought they would start courting eventually," said Kate, "But then Lizzie moved here."
"Mommy, Lizzie can't court Edward," said Julie.
"Julie…" Elizabeth said in a warning tone though it never worked on her sister.
"Why not?" asked William.
"Because Elizabeth and Constable Thornton are courting," said Julie.
William and Kate put down the utensils and looked at both Jack and Elizabeth with their jaws dropped in surprise.
So how do you think William and Kate thatcher will react? Let me know what you think! XOXO!
