Panic! At The Family Planning Clinic by StellarDegenerate

Summary
Thanks to a typo made by an overworked scheduling nurse, Penelope Featherington was accidentally artificially inseminated, resulting in her becoming a pregnant virgin at the age of 26. And to make matters even more absurd, Colin Bridgerton may or may not be the father.
Granted, neither of them knew that was actually a possibility.
For one thing, Colin had never told anyone, aside from Anthony and his mother, about his decision to bank his sperm. And he certainly wasn't ready to tell his best friend about how the sperm he'd banked had recently gone missing. (In retrospect, the clinic being named Pall Mall Family Planning probably should've been considered an omen.)
And Penelope certainly didn't have any reason to discuss her sex life (or lack thereof) with Colin of all people, so she was perfectly fine with letting him assume that she'd been knocked up by a one-night stand. He didn't even know she was still a virgin!
In any case, there are plenty of other candidates for the paternity of Penelope's baby. (And this author makes zero promises! ;P)

Summary
God, I can't sleep. Your curls torment me, blazing like hellfire whenever I close my eyes. I'm going mad, I swear it. How many nights have I lain awake, fists clenched in my sheets, imagining running my fingers, through those silken strands. The almost taste of your skin lingers on my lips, my tongue, as I lose myself, as I chase my release, thinking of you my copper-crowned goddess.

Summary
"He took another swig and sighed. Finally, that numbness he craved was starting to wash over him; he prayed it would lead him to finally be able to close his eyes and rest long enough to shut out the thoughts that were clumsily and recklessly filling his head. He tried to quiet his mind to a complete vacuum of thought, but her name again raced forward, sending him careening:
Penelope."

Summary
This was sent in a prompt by an anon on tumblr! Enjoy!
I also thought the whole ‘catching being pregnant’ part hilarious. Colin overhearing Pen worried she might catch having a baby. Or Colin overhearing an excited Pen rushing to Eloise to tell her she found out how babies are made and they must be away to the National gallery to look at the statues. Overhearing how Eloise and Pen talk about how to must be a shallow sowing of seed as the make appendage is do small (as seen in the statues). One of the Bridgerton brothers getting hit in pall mall and Eloise snapping that it’s not like there was much to hit, or mentioning ‘minuscule manhoods’ 🤣
A mix of them all!
