Bridgerton Imagines

Penelope Featherington

It was common for Penelope to be around at Bridgerton House. It was like she was a part of the family, although Penelope loved and treasured all of the Bridgerton's, she mainly went around to see Eloise and Y/N. This particular day that she went round to the house, she found out Daphne and Simon were coming to make a family announcement. As Penelope was going to turn around and go back home, but she heard her name being shouted, she turned around and saw Anthony and Eloise. 

"I heard that Daphne is making a family announcement, I was just about to go back home, I'm sure she will want it to be private". Penelope said.

"You are basically family at this point" Anthony and Eloise said at the same time. Eloise dragged Penelope into the drawing room. 

Daphne and Simon arrived not long after, the servants lead them into the drawing room, even though they had been back to the Bridgerton House numerous times. Simon and Daphne, were stood together. "We are having another child". A round of applause was heard thought the room, as well as congratulations to the happy couple. When the next day rolled around, they saw the report of Daphne's pregnancy was in the paper.

"It has come to this Author attention that Mrs Daphne Bridgerton and Mr Simon Bassett are expecting another child. This author wishes the most hearty congratulations to the happy couple"

Lady Whistledown Papers 

18th June 1922

None of the Bridgerton family had realised it, everyone except Y/N. It suddenly came to her. Y/N knew who Lady Whistledown was. It was Penelope, of course it was, she was a wallflower.

"Penelope, can I speak to you please" Y/N said with a sense of urgency. Penelope nodded, stood up and followed Y/N to a quiet corridor. They were face to face when Y/N confronted her. "I know you are Lady Whistledown". 

Penelope's face fell, " How did you know" Penelope stuttered. "Don't worry, I am going to keep your secret". Penelope didn't respond but she just hugged Y/N. 

Y/N did keep the secret. They kept it for 10 years until Colin revealed it at Daphne's ball
