    Summary

    What if she went after Lord Debling? It would be bold, to be sure, and would perhaps signal more desperation than she would like, but at this point what did she have to lose? She imagined the worst case is that she would stumble upon Lord Debling and Penelope together, embracing as two newly engaged people were wont to do. Perhaps they would laugh at her, pity her, for scrambling after him like a dog begging for scraps. But even desperation can peak and tumble into something worth risking.

    Summary

    "She misses her son with everything in her, but she hopes that he still thinks the woman he chose over his family worth the loss of them. Marriage cannot be undone and she would rather continue suffering his absence and his silence than know him to be suffering unalterable unhappiness with an unworthy wife."

    Or, a universe where the other Bridgertons don't react so well when they learn the truth about Lady Whistledown and everything that means for Colin, Penelope, and the entire family. Post-S2 AU.

    The day after Colin tells his brothers that he is not going to marry Penelope, she wakes up at Aubrey Hall with four young children and a husband who, as far as she remembers, just denied that he would ever want her.

    Penelope has to learn to navigate a world in which she has suddenly become a wife and mother, and Colin a world in which his wife has no memory of being married to him.
