    Summary

    At Penelope's 30th Birthday celebration at Aubrey Hall, some unexpected news throws her for a loop. This causes her to divulge her greatest wish to the man she trusts most, leading to a conversation that ends up changing both of their lives.

    -----------

    “And you are going to start a fire on the carpet with your frantic pacing. What is wrong?”

    There was a plan, she had a plan, exact, nice words that were carefully chosen to save embarrassment if it came to it. Such a pity it was when they were completely abandoned when she looked up and straight into his stormy blue eyes, blurting out exactly the thing that had been swirling around her mind all night.

    “I wish to be a mother, and I wish for you to help me”

    Summary

    'Come on,' Colin said. 'I ought to get you to bed.'

    Penelope released his arms, putting a hand over her heaving bosom. 'Mr. Bridgerton— I am far too intoxicated for that kind of talk.’

     

    ***

    OR

    Penelope drinks too much at Kate and Anthony’s first ball of the season and makes a confession Colin never saw coming.

    But that’s not the only surprise of the night. Penelope and Colin’s drunken antics have attracted the attention of a few other members of the Ton, leading society to draw their own conclusions about what could possibly be going on between the pair.

    Summary

    "It makes perfect sense!" Penelope's eyes are bright with wine and conviction. "Think about it. We know each other. We trust each other. We both agree that virginity is some arbitrary social construct, so why are we letting it bother us? Let's just—" She makes a decisive cutting motion with her hand. "—get it over with."

    "Pen—"

    "Colin," she sighs dramatically. "We could die tomorrow. As virgins."

    "We are not going to die tomorrow."

    "We could. And it will kill us."

    "Well, we’d already be dead, so—"

    “We could die. Tomorrow. As virgins. I don’t know if there is a fate worse than that, Colin!”

    The one where a question, posed under the weight of alcohol, leads to more than either bargained for.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington is six and ten and on the precipice of making her debut into society when she goes to spend a month at Aubrey Hall. She is so excited to visit with her favorite family, which includes her dearest friend Eloise, the always kind and motherly Lady Violet, and of course the handsome, cheerful, and dreamy Colin. She is prepared to spend several weeks enjoying how uncomplicated and carefree the Bridgertons have always seemed to her before she embarks on the likely stressful journey of entering the marriage mart. What she is not prepared for, however, is one Bridgerton family member having a certain nighttime habit that makes everything distinctly complicated and even somewhat stressful for her at Aubrey Hall instead.

    Or, the one where Colin is a sleepwalker and his sleepwalking plays a very important role in Polin finding their happily ever after.
