Summary
The day Penelope finally accepted that she was a beta was crushing. She was a romantic at heart and longed for the unwavering connection an alpha had with their omega. She shouldn’t have been surprised, the chance of her presenting as anything else was about as near zero as it could get. Unheard of in the medical community, almost disproven by science.
She gave herself the night to mourn, to accept that any love story she had would pale in comparison to the ones she yearned for.
Her only consolation was that Colin Bridgerton was a beta too.
-
As betas, Penelope and Colin are used to their relationship being misunderstood by his family but an unexpected heat rippling through the omegas at Aubrey Hall pushes Colin's insecurities to the forefront.

Her husband is dead.
-

Summary
Penelope wants to blame everyone else. Edwina, for hyping her up. The Bridgertons, for treating her like a real in-law when she was just a stand in. Taylor Swift, for making her look for clues that were probably never there.
Still, Penelope soldiers on. She traces her lips with her favourite liner before throwing on a red lipstick in a vain attempt to feel strong.
Fake it ‘till you make it. That’s what Portia taught her, maybe the only useful thing Porta ever taught her.
-
Penelope is certain that Colin, who has been her friend with benefits for the last two years, is on a date.
So what is he doing waiting for her at Bridgerton House?

Summary
“Pick your jaw up off the ground,” Michaela muttered before looping her arm through Colin’s. “Everyone can see you drooling and this is a no dogs allowed kind of bar.”
Colin touched his perfectly dry chin, just in case, before rolling his eyes.
“I’m not drooling,” he grumbled.
-
During Francesca and Michaela's double Hen Do, a mixture of Penelope's figure hugging bridal dress and an artistic request causes Colin to go into chaos mode.
It would be easier to handle if he knew how to keep his dress up.

Summary
It’s clear to Colin and everyone around them that George still has feelings for Marina but it’s unrequited. Marina promised Colin it is unrequited, murmuring that she just feels bad that George is unable to move past his first love.
It’s pathetic. Colin moved on from Tessa easily. Anthony moved on from Siena. Daphne moved on from Frederick.
“Penelope!” Portia called out, waving her daughter over.
Colin throws back the last of his drink.
And Penelope moved on from him.
-
After spending the last five years as a reluctant participant in a love triangle, Colin finds himself suddenly single at thirty-five. With a bruised ego and a broken heart, he's forced to rebuild his life.
The perfect place to start is by fixing his friendship with his former best friend, Penelope Featherington, who finds herself in desperate need of a flatmate.

Summary
Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.
"I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."
Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.
"Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"
Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"
"I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"
"Yes."
--
Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.

“No! Oh my God, no, not at all!”

“I- well, yes, a little bit but-”
