[Pride and Prejudice] Second Marriage

It was destined to be an extremely restless night, the lights in Pemberley were brightly lit, and all the people gathered together nervously, waiting for news of luck or misfortune.

Everyone feels that time is so hard that it seems to have stood still.

Darcy sat on the sofa, motionless. He buried his pale face deeply in his hands. The atmosphere around him made people feel heavy and uneasy, but no one dared to disturb him at this moment.

Mrs. Griffey buried her face in her husband's arms, and she dared not let others see her weeping face--the tears at this time were a sin and a terrible prophecy, but she just couldn't control it.

Madam Catherine's body was straight and her lips were quite tight. Although she was wearing a ridiculously gorgeous nightgown, her awe-inspiring demeanor made her the calmest person in the hall, "Don't be afraid ’” she said, “Anne’s weak body can get through it, what’s wrong with Juliet!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Elizabeth keenly noticed that Darcy's body twitched twice uncontrollably, and her eye sockets suddenly became moist.

She couldn't forget the anxiety on Darcy's face. At that moment, he only had Juliet in his eyes. With the flickering candlelight on the ground, Elizabeth had never seen Darcy in such a frightening manner.He leaned over and picked up Juliet who was on the ground, hissing and screaming in the corridor like a man-eating beast, but even then, he didn't ignore the gentle strength of Juliet's slightly raised arms and tugging on his sleeve.He immediately fell silent, and bowed his head meekly to listen to Juliet's trembling and weak voice.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't see her, not at all.

She lowered her eyelids and stopped looking at him.She sat alone in the corner of the living room, no one could accompany her through this painful and cold moment, everyone ignored her, even Jane - when she saw the blood stained on Juliet's white nightgown , she immediately volunteered to follow up the room to help.Before she knew it, Jane had become such a courageous woman.

The waiting time was too long, and every minute and every second was tormenting everyone's hearts. No one spoke, and the atmosphere in this living room where no wind could penetrate was frighteningly stagnant.

"I'm going to stay outside the door." Darcy suddenly stood up from the sofa, his voice was hoarse and hoarse, people in the living room could even see wetness on his face from a certain angle under the light Mark of.

Everyone couldn't answer him, they could only watch him stride out of the room.At the same time, Madam Catherine let out a long breath, and fell limply on the sofa, her hands were tangled in front of her chest, "God." She whispered.

Darcy found that even if he ran from the living room to the outside of the delivery room, it wouldn't help. He couldn't hear any sound from inside. He stared at the carved door that separated him from Juliet, his heart was torn by pain, anxiety, and fear. It was so bad that he couldn't control himself from thinking about it.

After a while, the door opened, and Donna ran out in a panic. She didn't even notice that there was another person standing in the corridor. Darcy was leaning against the wall. The moment the door opened, he vaguely heard another person. From a world far away came the sound of Juliet's sobbing.

The door opened and closed several times. During this period, the midwife invited from the town climbed up the stairs panting and took a look at him, but he didn't dare to ask or move. He stiffened and murmured, " Please." He didn't know if the disheveled woman had heard, but he watched her enter the room, and then fell silent.

He couldn't remember how he got through the turmoil. Mrs. Reynolds's face, Mrs. Amber's face, Jane's face, and the midwife's face who came in a hurry were all dangling in front of his eyes, but in the end Clearly, Juliet was sitting on the ground, hugging her stomach, crying and looking at herself.There is also a trace of blood on her nightgown, which is so shocking under the dim light.

"Don't be afraid..." Darcy's heart convulsed violently when he thought of her trembling voice of advice before entering the room.

He resented that he couldn't share Juliet's pain, but besides waiting, he didn't know what to do to free him from this powerless state. He pressed his forehead against the door, as if he could get closer to Juliet. a little.

When the sky turned white, the window at the end of the corridor brought in the first ray of morning light, and the door that attracted everyone's thoughts opened.

Jane's tired face first appeared in front of everyone, and she glanced at Darcy who was sitting on the ground outside the door in surprise. His face was haggard, as if he had changed a lot in just a few hours.

Facing his somewhat hollow black eyes, Jane suddenly felt that the news she brought finally gave her the confidence to look directly at the man who had helped them so much, "Everything is fine, Mr. Darcy, Juliet gave birth to a baby safely." boy."

Darcy closed his dry eyes, "Thank you." He said, his voice so hoarse that Jane almost couldn't hear clearly.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the news.

Juliet has been pregnant for 34 weeks, probably because she was too tired and her mood fluctuated too much, which led to today's thrilling scene.Although the pregnancy is not yet full-term, and the process of giving birth is very thrilling, little Darcy is still strong.Mrs. Reynolds, not daring to expose the baby to the cold, wiped little Darcy's body with warm water by the fire with the utmost care, wrapped him in a soft muslin swaddle, and took him for the He showed his face to the crowd who had been worrying about him all night.

With tears in her eyes, she leaned cautiously to show the baby's face, "I've never seen such a beautiful baby, and to tell you the truth, Mr. Darcy was far less beautiful when he was born! "

As soon as Mrs. Catherine heard that it was a boy, she swept away the restlessness of the night and regained her energy. Regardless of whether there was an audience or not, she began to talk endlessly about how to protect the fragile baby.

And Mr. Griffey only had time to take a look at the red and wrinkled meat balls in the swaddling baby before he had to catch his wife who was lying limp in his arms.

Caroline cautiously extended a finger, touched his smooth cheek lightly, and immediately decided that she was going to condescend to love this baby.

Bingley shook the hand of his wife who had worked all night, and gave a big smile for his friend. He leaned over, not daring to get too close to the baby, and echoed every compliment Mrs. Reynolds said.

Sitting in the corner, Elizabeth couldn't help shedding tears for the joy after suffering at this time.

Darcy walked into the room lightly. No one would stop the man who had been suffering all night on the grounds that the delivery room was unlucky. The maids tidied up the room silently and retreated.

Mrs. Amber was sitting on the chair by the bed, wiping Juliet's face with a towel, and when she saw him coming in, she put her index finger on her lips and said softly, "She fell asleep."

Darcy went to the bed, looked at Juliet's pale face with tightly closed eyes, and held her hand.

"Have you seen the baby?" asked Mrs. Amber.

Darcy's throat was dry, he opened his mouth but couldn't speak, so he just nodded, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Juliet's face, and he didn't leave for a moment.

Mrs. Amber couldn't bear to look at his haggard face and fear of losing his eyes. She put down the towel in her hand and said, "Stay with her." She stood up and made room for him. When she walked to the door, Turning to close the door for them, she saw Darcy leaning over to kiss Juliet's forehead.She blinked, trying to blink the wetness back.

Juliet didn't know how long she had been asleep.When she opened her eyes, she was still in the mist, but when she saw Darcy's black eyes, the memory suddenly came back.

"Child..." She raised her head, and someone slapped her on the forehead.

Julian stood on the other side of the bed, utterly annoyed, little did he know that his dear sister had been born prematurely as soon as he stepped out of the Pemberley gate, and the last thing he could forgive himself was that, at such a difficult time, he had not Be by my sister's side.Therefore, it is inevitable that he dislikes Darcy even more. However, this man is silent about everything.Fortunately, what comforted him was that although the few sparse hairs on little Darcy's head were black, the eyes he occasionally opened looked like the purest sky.

Obviously after having a son, Juliet completely forgot about other things. In the first few days, because of her weak body, she could only lie on the bed and stare at the little baby with greedy eyes.When she was able to sit up, when she hugged that soft and sweet little body into her arms for the first time, she was so touched that she couldn't help but shed tears.

Darcy sat next to her, hugged her shoulders, didn't dislike her for not taking a bath for many days, kissed her cheek tightly, and kissed away the tears from her face.In the past few days, he seems to have nothing to do. The people in the committee understand that his heir is hard-won, and as long as they can solve the problem, they will not bother him.The only thing Darcy does every day is to sit next to Juliet, look at her, and kiss her and his son from time to time.Even when she nursed little Darcy herself, he watched intently.

When Darcy kissed her passionately again, Juliet finally broke out unbearably.She turned her head, stretched out her hand to push his face away, and pointed to the ridiculous blue cloth on top of her head that covered all her long blond hair, and said angrily, "Do you have the heart to do it like this? ?Can't you sit quietly out of your room for a month, wait for your wife to stop looking like a little old lady, and then kiss her clean?"

Darcy smiled and grabbed her hand, "If you are a little old lady, you must be the most beautiful little old lady in the world."

Little Darcy was sleeping soundly with his head on one side, completely unaware of the unusual flirting between his parents.For half a month, the wrinkles on his face have disappeared, and his skin has changed from pink to white and tender. He has been well taken care of, and he is very strong, and he does not look like a newborn baby at all.The room is very warm now, he is wearing comfortable and sweat-absorbing clothes, unconsciously moving his little mouth, his two chubby legs are spread out like a frog, he is sleeping on his back, and it is not at all obvious that he is The naughtiness in the mother's belly.

Although little Darcy was in good health and the weather outside was gradually getting warmer, everyone still dared not take him to the church for baptism.His christening was therefore officiated by the vicar in the chapel in Pemberley.

After the christening, Darcy Jr. officially took on his first name - Richard Johnson Darcy.Inlaid with the names of his two grandfathers.
