Epilogue

Mr Darcy slowly made his way down the dark corridor, dimly lit by the candle in his right hand. He paused in front of the door to the room that had become a favourite of his, unsure of whether to enter. After a brief moment, he quietly opened the door and entered the room. Putting the candle on a nearby dresser, he approached the occupant of the room cautiously, not wanting to wake her. He sat down by her side and looked down, he loved to watch her sleep. He watched her chest moving steadily up and down and gently brushed his fingers along her rosy cheeks. She was so beautiful, there was no doubt about that. He moved his fingers from her cheek as her eyelids flickered, not wanting to wake her. His fingers moved to her hair, he was still surprised at how soft it was as he stroked it tenderly. He loved her dearly. From the earliest moments of their acquaintance he had been drawn to her, when she first looked into his eyes, he knew he was lost and when he first held her in his arms, he knew he would do anything for her.

"My beautiful angel," he whispered softly "Oh how I love you my sweet."

He engaged himself once more in the task of admiring the beauty before him and did not hear the door creaking open behind him.

"Fitzwilliam, the hour is late, will you not come to bed?" a voice whispered from the doorway. Darcy started at the sound and turned with a smile.

"Elizabeth!" He held his hand out to her and she crossed the room to take it in hers. She stifled a giggle as he pulled her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her.

"Is it? I had not noticed, I was a little distracted."

"You often seem to be a little distracted. I am surprised Pemberley has not descended into chaos without the full attention of its master!"

Darcy laughed, "I have every reason to be distracted when I have two beautiful women demanding my attention. However, it has not escaped my notice that the house seems to have fallen into disarray, perhaps the mistress has been neglecting her duties."

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, "Indeed," she began dryly, "it is unfortunate that bringing a child into the world has led me to forget where my duties lie."

Darcy smiled, moving Elizabeth slightly to reach into the cradle before him, "This, my love, is certainly where your duties lie. She is a very just reason to be distracted, she is an angel-"

"Yes she is Fitzwilliam but if you wake her, Mrs Carson will not think her so and will certainly not thank you!"

Darcy heeded the warning but a little too late as a pair of eyes fluttered opened. He grimaced and braced himself for what he knew was to come. Elizabeth shook her head in despair and leaned over to pick up her daughter as she began to whimper, "Hush, my love, I am here."

She stood up and took a turn about the room to try and settle the unhappy babe, "Papa shall face the wrath of Mrs Carson should she wake."

Darcy stood up and moved towards them, "May I?"

Elizabeth nodded and let him take their still whimpering daughter. She sat down and observed them thoughtfully. She meditated on the events of the last year and considered herself to be greatly blessed. At that time of despair, she could not have imagined the joy that she now felt; a beautiful baby girl, Georgiana married and Kitty engaged. She watched her husband cradling Anna in his arms, besotted by his angel. This Elizabeth knew: that despite grief and heartbreak, there was always hope, there was always a blessing.

I would like to dedicate this story to my mum who is greatly missed and whose death has taught me so much about the faithfulness of God and His amazing love.

Thank you all for reading and reviewing my story as it has progressed but don't stop now, please review! I love you all!
