April 1 1814
I pull up in a carriage outside the Bridgerton house another right behind mine.
Holding a twin on each hip, as Benedict is already at the house.
"Ah, I see you've been called for too," Daphne tells me, stepping out of her carriage.
"Mhm, Benedict is already here and I can not leave them, so," I say gesturing to my two boys.
"They have grown so much. I don't know how you can handle two boys I can't even handle one" she laughs as we make our way into the house.
"They're actually very good, during the day. But at night, I haven't had a proper night's sleep in months." I tell Daphne as we walk up the stairs.
"Auggies the exact same, but I can't imagine double that," she tells me.
I hear distinct chatter coming from around the corner.
"Shh! Let her come out on her own." violet says.
"Is this the plan?" Daphne asks
"Daphne, Octavia thank goodness you're here." violet tells us.
"Is this what you plan on doing? Waiting for her to come out" I ask look at them.
"Yep" hyacinth says next to me.
"She has requested time," Anthony tells us.
"We don't have time. Stand back" Daphne says as she approaches the door.
"No offence, sister, but I believe you are the last person she'd like to see," Benedict says standing in front of her.
"And what is that supposed to mean" Daphne asks him.
I lift the boys further up my hips, to prevent them from slipping.
"Get back up here," I tell Sebastian quietly as I boost him back up so he sat on my hip again.
"Are sure she's even in there?" Hyacinth asks, to which I nod my head in her direction agreeing.
"Of course she is in there" Francesca responds.
"Where else would she be" Gregory questions.
"Climed through the window, escaped through the chimney--" Benedict says smiling.
"Do not give her ideas" I tell him sternly yet smiling.
"Quiet she may hear you" Violet says shushing him.
"You do realise I left my husband and child at home for this" Daphne tells us.
"I'm holding both my children, who are beginning to get very fussy" I tell them after.
"I told you this would happen now we are to be late for the Queen" Anthony says with a stern tone.
"Shh, I hear something" Francesca says from the front.
Everyone goes quiet as we listen to the chatter from the other side of the door.
Anthony groans and goes to open the door.
"Anthony!" Violet states in sternly.
But before he can open it, the door opens. And three lady's maids leave the room, their faces full of annoyance.
We all peer into the room, and there is Eloise looking more annoyed than anything.
"If one of you utters a single word" Eloise sighs.
Our faces all fall to smiles.
She aggressively chucks her trail behind her, "Let us get this over with." She tells us storming out the room.
I was stuck in a carriage with: Benedict, Anthony, Gregory and of course Sebastian and Alexander.
"Plan on marrying this season, Anthony?" I ask him.
As Benedict takes Seb from my lap.
"My only task this season cannot be exceptionally difficult. Hastings and you did it after all, how hard can it be?" Anthony tells us.
"I am sitting right here" I tell him hitting his chest.
"Spoken with such feeling too" Benedict says turning towards Gregory.
"I do not need feeling. What I need is what I have, and that is a list." He tells us.
I wait for him to tell us the list is a joke, but he does not.
"Tolerable, dutiful, suitable enough hips for childbearing, and at least half a brain. And that last part is not so a requirement but a preference, in fact" utter seriousness in his voice.
I try not to laugh or even smile at that fact.
Just then we go over a bump and Alex giggles at the motion.
"My thoughts exactly, Alex" I tell Alex and lift him up to place a kiss to his cheek, making him giggle more.
We watch multiple young women get presented to the Queen.
Non she deemed the diamond.
"The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton, Miss Eloise Bridgerton and Miss Enola Holmes" a man announces.
Violet offered to go with Enola as she knew I was busy with the twins.
Eloise looks as if she's about the collapse her breathing is that fast. Enola looks more annoyed than panicked knowing she cannot skip it this season.
"Smile" me and Daphne say at the same time to our sisters.
Suddenly a man walks in with a tray and presents it to the Queen.
Whispers fill the room wondering what it is.
"I've seen enough" the Queen says running out the room.
Both Enola and Eloise run off.
Daphne calls Eloise's name, me, not even trying.
A Lady Whistledown is handed about the room.
"Truly I cannot say I will long for any of this." I tell Anthony.
"Best of luck to you Brother, you shall certainly need it this season" Daphne finishes.
...
I'm backkkk
I have decided to do season 2 because why not
