    Summary

    At Penelope's 30th Birthday celebration at Aubrey Hall, some unexpected news throws her for a loop. This causes her to divulge her greatest wish to the man she trusts most, leading to a conversation that ends up changing both of their lives.

    -----------

    “And you are going to start a fire on the carpet with your frantic pacing. What is wrong?”

    There was a plan, she had a plan, exact, nice words that were carefully chosen to save embarrassment if it came to it. Such a pity it was when they were completely abandoned when she looked up and straight into his stormy blue eyes, blurting out exactly the thing that had been swirling around her mind all night.

    “I wish to be a mother, and I wish for you to help me”

    Summary

    "Can I help you find something?"

    Penelope Featherington jumps at the sound of a voice coming from behind her. She shouldn't be surprised, however, that the young, dark-haired, friendly-looking man who was behind the counter earlier is checking on her now. She's been standing frozen for the last few minutes in front of a wide display of items lined up on a wall that are entirely foreign to her. They're entirely foreign to her because she's a virgin in a sex shop, and suddenly the grand plans she had coming in here today all feel very, very stupid.

    --

    Or, virgin Pen wanders into Colin's sex shop one day in an unusual beginning to their happily ever after.
