Is There a Future Expectation for Pip?

The original ending he wrote before he was convinced to write this alternate that was published, in which they meet briefly in London and she has children. And it's, uh, expressed as more of a passing of the ships in the night, you know, like there is no further expectation between them. It also confounds the social and economic journey that Pip takes because after he loses this fortune  he goes off with his friend Herbert to sort of the field office for this firm That Herbert has put together in Cairo, Egypt.
