The Marquess’ Saving Grace – Extended Epilogue

 

A pregnant Grace was sitting in a chair in her bed chamber. She groaned and placed a hand on her baby bump. She sighed. Her husband came in, beaming to see her there.

“Have the guests started arriving?” she asked, straightening up.

“Not yet but they should arrive at any moment. All we need to do is to relax and wait for the party to commence.”

Grace smiled and stood up. “I need to dress. You should do the same,” Grace said to him.

“I will. First, I need to go see what the servants are up to,” he said to his wife. He paused, smiling as he looked out the window.

Grace stood up excitedly. She stood up to see what he had seen and a smile spread across her lips. In the drive, she could see a carriage, her mother and father climbing out of it.

“Well, let’s go meet them,” Grace said. That morning, they were expecting the Duke of Oxford and Marie, who had promised to come visit them that morning. Together, Grace and Alexander walked downstairs.

“Father!” Grace cried excitedly. She ran into her father’s arms and then she pulled away to hug her mother as well. “I have missed you both so much.”

“We have missed you as well, darling,” her father replied. “How long has it been?”

“About six months,” Grace replied. That was when she and her husband had last gone to pay them a visit. Grace and Alex had retired to the county seat, while her mother and father had remained in London.

Alexander came out to receive them and while Alexander and the Duke walked ahead into the house, she and her mother walked behind.

“So, when last did you hear from Lady Stephanie and her husband?” her mother asked as Lady Stephanie had gotten married two months ago to Lord Exeter.

“Oh, we write to each other all the time,” Grace replied. “So, Mother, what about you and father? Have you both finally decided to live together?”

Her mother blushed. “Something like that.”

“Better,” Grace replied. “Because you are both too old to be playing hard to get.” Her mother laughed as they walked into the house together.

    • Thank you for your positive comment, dear Caroline! I’m very pleased you like my story and the end of it! 🙂

  • Grace and Alexander had a confusing relationship because first she was a maid and class was the issue why they couldn’t be together, then they were siblings and then they weren’t. Finally they got their act together and got married and she no longer had an issue with being with him.
