"Jane! Oh, how I have missed you!" Lizzy exclaimed, practically running down the stairs to greet her sister with a hug. "Oh Lizzy!" Jane replied throwing her arms around her sister. Darcy followed down the stairs with a smile.
"Darcy!" Charles Bingley said shaking Darcy's hand as soon as his feet hit the floor. "Charles, how are you?"
"Good, and yourself?" He asked.
"Splendid, never been better."
"Good. Well Ms. Georgiana, how'd you do?" Charles asked, as Georgiana glided down the stairs.
"Very well, thank you." She answered with grace.
"Jane, you remember Georgiana don't you?" Lizzy asked pulling away from another hug.
"Of course! How could I forget your new sister?" Jane replied while embracing Georgiana. Meanwhile Lizzy finally greeted her brother. "Charles, how good of you to come!"
"Once Jane realized how closely we would be passing Pemberley nothing else would suit her but to stop in for a time." Charles greeted her with a smile. Once everyone had finished greeting each other Lizzy and Darcy lead the way to the drawing room for tea. After small chat the men left the room to do what they called as 'business', but the ladies knew they wanted some time to talk to each other about their married life.
"Its such a beautiful day Jane, would you like to take a turn about the grounds? I would dearly love to show my new home to you." Lizzy asked.
"Oh yes. I am very anxious to see it, but do not forget to show me around the interior of your home to Lizzy." Jane said with a sly smile, knowing Lizzy would rather stay out of doors her whole life if she could.
"Of course not Jane, but we shall wait until it rains, so we must stay in the house." She laughed in reply. "Oh Jane, I have missed you."
"And I you Lizzy. But you have dear Georgiana with you, while I have no womanly company." Jane said with a smile.
"What, do not Caroline or Louisa visit you? I know Caroline would not come if I asked." Lizzy said with a laugh, which Jane and Georgiana joined in.
"Poor Caroline, I do wonder if I shall ever see her again." Lizzy mused, not hurt at all by the thought. "Well enough of this I thought we were to go for a walk. Come ladies!" Lizzy exclaimed leading the way. After grabbing their bonnets and shawls they continued outside. "Oh Lizzy! It really is beautiful here! I know understand what you mean." Jane exclaimed after Lizzy and Georgiana had showed her the grounds. After awhile they returned to the house to freshen up for supper. Darcy walked in on Lizzy redoing her hair, he kissed her cheek then proceeded to change his shirt. "How did talking business go with Charles." Lizzy asked with a sly grin.
"Very well thank you." Darcy replied pretending he had not heard the emphasis on the word 'business'. "You ready?"
"Yes" Lizzy replied and they walked down the stairs for supper together. After a lavish supper the two couples and Georgiana went together to the music room where Georgiana was persuaded to play for them, as Jane had never heard her play and was anxious to hear how accomplished she was. After she sang a few songs, she quietly played a symphony while the others conversed. "Have you heard from our mother?" Jane asked Lizzy while the men spoke of other things.
"Only once, and only to hear how proud she was that I married into money and that she has finally whole heartedly forgiven me for not marrying Mr. Collins even though Charlotte will take her place as mistress when father passes on. I have heard from father twice though. He does not say so but from the way he writes I can tell he misses us, though he is very happy we have both found love in our marriages. I do hope you shall visit him often Jane. I know he plans to come to Pemberley in the summer months, he may bring Kitty to stay with me awhile."
"I do miss our family, but I am so happy with Charles that…" Jane left the sentence hanging knowing Lizzy felt the same.
"What do you ladies find so captivating that you've forgotten our existence?" Darcy asked with a smile.
"You. We were discussing you dear." Lizzy answered with a wink at Jane. He sighed and answered. "Whatever you say m'dear."
