Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The story picks up where "Something Borrowed" leaves off - Darcy's best friend Rachel has run off with Darcy's ex-fiancé, Dexter. Darcy finds herself immediately thrust into a new relationship with Marcus. Why?

Answer: she is pregnant with his child

It is revealed at the end of "Something Borrowed" that Darcy has been cheating on Dexter for months and is pregnant with Marcus's child. Even though she is just as much at fault for the failure of her relationship with Dexter, she takes no personal responsibility.

She feels Rachel and Dexter truly betrayed her and decides to throw herself into a relationship with Marcus. She wants to start a new life with him and their baby.
2. While Marcus and Darcy are out shopping one day, they see Dexter and Rachel together. What are Dex and Rachel shopping for?

Answer: couch

Darcy wants to start fresh and buy herself some new furniture, including a beautiful kitchen table and chairs, but she spots Rachel and Dexter looking at a new couch together. It dawns on Darcy that the two aren't just having a fling, they are actually in love and possibly living together. This devastates her and she looks to Marcus for comfort and sympathy, but he gives very little. He is more interested in spending time in bed with Darcy than offering emotional support.

After weeks together, Marcus finally tells Darcy that he doesn't want to be with her and doesn't want to be a father to their child. He offers financial support for the baby but wants no part of its life. For the first time in her life, Darcy is alone and unwanted.
3. Where does Darcy move to?

Answer: London

She needs to start fresh and what better way to do it than by moving? She convinces her high school friend Ethan to let her visit him for a few weeks. Little does he know, she plans to stay permanently but does not tell him that initially, for fear that he won't let her come.

Darcy takes a leave of absence from her job, sublets her apartment, packs all her clothes in her Louis Vuitton suitcases, and sets off for England. Ethan seems less than thrilled with Darcy's arrival, mostly because she is high maintenance, whiny and takes up too much room in his tiny apartment.
4. After Darcy moves, how does she initially spend her days?

Answer: shopping

Museums bore her and the weather is rainy most of the time. Ethan is working hard on writing his book and doesn't spend much time with her so to entertain herself, she shops. She hits all of the high-fashion stores in and around London and soon depletes her savings account.
5. After a night out with Ethan's friends, Darcy and Ethan have an argument. Ethan calls Darcy self-centered and tells her that she needs to examine her life instead of waiting for everyone around her to take care of her. When she wakes up the next day, she makes a list of things she wants to change about herself. Which one of these is on her list?

Answer: see an obstetrician

The night before, Ethan accuses Darcy of being irresponsible - she is still drinking alcohol and hasn't made any preparations for her pregnancy. Their fight is the eye-opener that Darcy needs. When she gets up the next morning, she makes a list which also includes finding a job, making new friends, being better with her money and overall, just being nicer.

As her first act of goodwill, Darcy cleans Ethan's apartment from top to bottom and he seems to really appreciate it when he comes home. Days later, she is sitting at a café and meets two woman, Charlotte and Meg, whom she instantly befriends. They help refer her to some job opportunities. It appears that Darcy is on the right track to becoming a new person.
6. When Darcy meets Charlotte and Meg, what do they refer to as a "ginger"?

Answer: a red-head

After the three start talking and Darcy tells them that she is pregnant, they want to introduce her to some eligible men. They have someone in mind who has red hair but is very attractive and successful. Darcy agrees that a new man is exactly what she could use and accepts their invitation to a dinner party where maybe she will meet her new Mr. Right.
7. Darcy find an obstetrician who delivers unexpected news - Darcy is having twins! What is her doctor's name?

Answer: Geoffrey Moore

Dr. Moore has a gentle way with Darcy but when he tells her that she is having twin boys, she immediately leaves the office, too much in shock to stay and ask questions. Days later when she arrives at the dinner party that Meg and Charlotte are hosting, Dr. Moore is a guest.

Not realizing that Darcy is trying to keep the news about expecting twins a secret, Dr. Moore announces it to the guests. Darcy is horrified at first but then calms down, realizing that he is just excited for her. A romance blooms between the two over within a few weeks and he refers Darcy to another physician colleague.
8. What gifts does Rachel send Darcy for the babies as a gesture of goodwill?

Answer: receiving blankets

Rachel sends Darcy a letter telling her how much she misses her and extends her best wishes to Darcy on her impending motherhood. Rachel includes matching receiving blankets each trimmed with blue silk ribbon for the babies. Darcy is truly touched by the gifts and realizes that she needs to make peace with Rachel and accept some of the blame over what happened months ago.
9. After giving birth to her boys, who is the first person Darcy calls?

Answer: her mother

Darcy and her mother had a falling out shortly before she left for England because her family didn't approve of Marcus or her pregnancy. But after having the babies, she finds that she wants to speak to her mom. Although there is definitely tension in their conversation, Darcy's mom tells her how proud she is of her and how much she loves her.

Darcy also decides to call Rachel and the two speak for a short time. They start to mend their broken relationship and Rachel confesses to Darcy that she and Dexter are now married. Although the news is difficult to hear, Darcy can now find closure of the past.

Darcy names the boys John and Thomas, and Ethan himself feels like the proud father. Soon Darcy and Ethan profess their love for each and start a new chapter in their lives together.
10. What do Rachel and Dexter name their daughter?

Answer: Julia

Two years after giving birth to the twins, Darcy marries Ethan in a quiet ceremony in London. Darcy has mended her friendship with Rachel, but they will never be as close as they once were. Rachel and Dexter are guests at the wedding and now have a young daughter.

As her "something blue" for the wedding, Darcy uses the blue ribbons from the receiving blankets Rachel gave her as part of her bouquet. At the reception, Rachel toasts the new bride and groom and talks about the joys of love and friendship.
