    Summary

    "Col, could you give me a hand?" Penelope looked up from her place in the sand, handing the tube of sunscreen toward him.

    "Sure, baby," Colin said reflexively, initially confused by the alarmed eye-widening of his already freckling girlfriend. His cheeks burned, whispering a soft sorry as he looked around them to see if anyone was paying the pair any mind. Though it would come as a relief to Penelope, Colin was somewhat disappointed no one heard. She was his baby. It would do others good to know.

    But alas, patience.

    —or, "secret dating" at the beach on the Bridgertons annual holiday.

    Summary

    “Are you stressed?”

    “I have been paged five times in the last two minutes; I delivered a baby in surgery today, resuscitated two patients, and haven’t slept in forty-eight hours. So, yes, forgive me if I’m a little on edge.”

    Summary

    In hindsight, watching old reruns of 'Didn't Even Know I was Pregnant' was probably not her best move. Watching eight episodes in a row was probably her next bad move, but she was invested in the stories of these women; she just kept pressing play even after 2 a.m. passed.

    She becomes convinced, when the cramping goes lower in her belly, that she is having a surprise baby.

    Summary

    He sank to one knee before her. "Miss Featherington, I—"
    "What are you doing?" she hissed.
    "What does it look like I am doing?"
    "It looks," she said, her voice very crisp and precise, "as if you are proposing marriage, but that cannot—"
    A great wave of satisfaction came over him. "In that case," he said, "my intention and the appearance of it are in complete accord. I am indeed proposing marriage."

    Summary

    Colin was startled away from his spiralling thoughts when she finally spoke up.

    “Colin,” her whispered voice sliced through his confusion, face still downturned. “Listen to me.”

    He could see her right foot was twitching and her fists were tightening into her bright daydress - as if her body was struggling to contain the entirety of herself. He stepped closer, craning down his neck to try and get a glimpse of her face.

    She looked up then, incensed determination radiating off her.

    “Either you distance yourself completely from Marina,” she pronounced, her eyes hard and her face coloured with a pale red, “or else I will sever all ties with you.”

    OR

    Colin would do just about anything Penelope asked of him.
