“wait wait—” stopping eloise in her tracks, her arm tightened around the others. “and who have you kissed?” making sure her tone was just above a whisper.

“i surely do not expect you to have indulged in any suitors from the last ball we attended.”

[ᅟ ‍‍‍‍𝓮𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞‍‍ ´ˎ˗ᅟ ‍‍ @emeraldfseason]

Eloise’s eyes widened at the volume of her tone, and she gestured dramatically for her to lower her voice.

“Well... I merely wished to understand how such things worked” she said with a nervous little laugh, absently touching her ear.

“And then one thing led to another, and..”

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

“wait what?!” she spoke way too loudly, causing a few bystanders to look in their direction.

[ᅟ ‍‍‍‍𝓮𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞‍‍ ´ˎ˗ᅟ ‍‍ @emeraldfseason]

“I kissed someone!” she said simply as she closed the door and looked at her best friend, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

“colin?” she stands in the doorway, hair loose from it’s usual pinned up style wearing her night robe, hand resting against her belly. “i couldn’t sleep.” this was normal for them, penelope could never sleep when colin stayed out late with his brothers.

[𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 @AmibleTraveller]

He’s slumped effortlessly over the couch, tired from the long day

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

using the chamber pot has become a field trip for the both of them now.

[𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 @AmibleTraveller]

And Colin hasn’t let her out of his sight for a second. Terrified she may give birth.

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

penelope waddled to eloise, her belly causing her to move much slower than normal. “i will not tell a soul! is everything alright?”

[ᅟ ‍‍‍‍𝓮𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞‍‍ ´ˎ˗ᅟ ‍‍ @emeraldfseason]

“There is something I must tell you” she said, taking her friend’s hands and pulling her gently into the room.

“But you must promise me you shall never repeat it to anyone.”

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

ELOISE !

[ᅟ ‍‍‍‍𝓮𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞‍‍ ´ˎ˗ᅟ ‍‍ @emeraldfseason]

[𝑺𝒊𝒓 𝑷𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒑 @OfSirCrane]

Anyone know any good hiding places?

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

@emeraldfseason // not a good answer?

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

i know, my love. ﹙ ahe caressed his cheek lovingly. ﹚we will travel when the time is right. i don’t think i planned to deliver our baby on ship.

[𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 @AmibleTraveller]

We can wait until the baby is born, I could not live with myself if something did happen to you or our baby.

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

Good morning, mayfair !

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

yes, but i know the physician informed us of risks if were to travel. . . i dont want to worry you colin.

[𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 @AmibleTraveller]

You wish to travel? (He was a little hesitant since she was with child to travel) I could possibly arrange a few nights in Paris for us, I see you reading of their latest fashion trends.

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

i love you eloise 🥹

[ᅟ ‍‍‍‍𝓮𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞‍‍ ´ˎ˗ᅟ ‍‍ @emeraldfseason]

I do hope you are having the most delightful day ( She smiled, linking her arm with her best friend’s )

Happy birthday, Pen.

[           ᝰ໋᳝݊ຳི 𝓟𝑒𝑛. @PensQuil]

well besides you ? hmm. . . i’ve always wanted to see the world outside of mayfair.

[𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 @AmibleTraveller]

Yes, just out of curiosity what is the one thing you have always wished for on your birthday?
