I don't own Twilight or anything in this story but for the OOC.

Chapter 1-Late wife

"How is she your wife handling?" Emmett the next Duke to his father Charlie's estates. He and the king were leaving the meeting room. Edward was off to ask one of his wife's lady in waiting how she is doing since she has been in her confinement as she is due any day with their sixth child. Everyone is hoping this is going to be a living son.

"She seems to be handling it well." the king answered his friend. "Seem to be getting closer to you and Lady Rose Cullen to be marring yes? Emmett was due to marry his Rosalie Cullen sometime in October which was just a few short months now. Lady Rose is his cousin and Lord Jasper's sister. Lord Jasper is his cousin and the next duke to Carlisle's estates.

Emmett nodded his head yes, the young soon to be duke was getting very nervous indeed. Alice and Jasper have already married in April of last year in 1528. Edward's wife Leah has only two close ladies in waitings with her, that she feels closes to, one is Lady Alice Cullen, and Isabella Swan. It is a bit strange to have Isabella swan in with her since Isabella isn't even married yet.

Of course, the queen has some other ladies with her, these ones who have had at least one child already. One being Edward's own aunt and his mother Elizabeth's sister-in-law Esme Cullen. Esme is married to Carlisle Cullen who is Edward's mother's brother. Esme is Rose and Jasper's mother. Edward only trusts getting updates on how his wife is doing from either his cousin or his aunt.

Once he saw to his wife's chambers he knocked and the girls inside knew it would be the king himself. Esme decided to be the one to update the king this day. She went to the door and opened it, and closed it behind her, not let the king see his wife. "How is she doing?" Edward asked.

"It won't be long now," Esme said gently. She could tell from the look on his face that it wasn't what he wanted to hear, but that was all she could give him for now. Her face softens and places her hand on his. "I'm sorry, Edward, that's all I have to offer," she said gently tapping his hand once more before heading back into the room. It seemed the king was to follow his aunt when she turned and stopped him with her hand up. She looked at him and said nothing and shut the door slowly, while the king looked at his heavily pregnant wife.

Leah, has decided she didn't want her husband visiting her while she was inside the confinements. Edward has always been a loyal and faithful husband to his wife. He used to visit her whenever she was in confinements but for some reason this time she didn't want him visiting her during it. He couldn't ever get why. He turned to face his cousin Jasper who joined him this time, while Emmett had some place to go to speak with his parents about something and so Jasper went to Edward's side knowing this was always hard on him that his wife wouldn't let him visit her this time.

"Why won't she let me in this time?"The king asked just as he asks every time he comes to try and visit her and always just gets an update and turned away.

"I don't know," Jasper said placing his hand over his king's shoulder and trying to lead his king and cousin away.

Edward let Jasper lead him away from the door, Edward looked at his wife's closed-door one last time before her door came out of sight. Not long after they got the door out of sight did the door open once more but this time with a young brown haired young women rush out of the room and in her rushing she forgot to close the door and in her running, she nearly ran into the king himself. Edward heard some loud noise from his wife's confinement and knew what this must mean and turned his head and saw a young woman running and so moved out of the way before she ran into him.

He turned his head to the open door that she left and almost went to the room, but Jasper was there holding him from going to the room. "You know we are not allowed to go in," Jasper whispered to his king. That was when Edward looked at his cousin, and Jasper saw the worry for his wife and child. Sure Edward didn't fall in love with Leah, but he had feelings for her, as he cared for her, and respected her.

That was when Edward noticed the same young woman that rushed out of his wife's room, was coming back this time with the midwife and a who he knew was her father and his friend Emmett's father and Emmett now. He knew the men were there to help Jasper get him to leave here and to another room while they waited. He watched the midwife and the young woman close the door behind them once they stepped inside. Once the door was shut he heard a scream from his wife.

"Come on, a son she is strong, she gets through this and so will your son," Charlie said as he gently nudged the back of King Edward's back. This was the one time that one of his dukes and friends could get away with nudging him away. Otherwise, the king would have to order them to not dear touch them like this.

Edward was lead to another room where a group of other men in the court sat and stood. He took a set by the head of a table with Jasper beside him and Carlisle on the other. The men where opening bottles to chair for the birth of a young prince. OR what everyone thought was a young prince anyways.

&BE& BE & BE & BE & BE & BE & BE

After hours of this, Edward had gotten tense with each pasting hours. He has been getting tense for the last two hours. It has been nearly 13 hours since the first screams, since that pretty young lady-in-waiting rushed out of the room and nearly ran into him while she went to get the midwife and returned and him being lead to this room.

He has been pacing for the last thirty minutes. The last few births his wife has done has taken only about twelve hours and it has gone an hour longer now and it is making him worry. Sure his wife has had even longer then twelve hour births before her first two has taken nearly three days of this. But those have seem to have been forgotten how long those births where. He seems to only remember the last two that took only twelve hours.

Before he started his pacing for the last thirty minutes he tried to leave this room and knock on his wife's door for an update or open the door himself, but his uncle Calrisle had a solider stand by the door blocking the king from leaving that room knowing the king would try at some point go down to that door.

"What if something is wrong?" Edward asked, no one. He wasn't expecting an answer. As the hours go by he worries for Leah making it or if the child dies. If his son is still born. He was sure this one was a son. Even Leah was sure it was a son.

He started to wonder though what if this was a daughter instead. What would he do? Would he be happy? He at this point wishes for a healthy living child. Sure he knows he needs a son to give the kingdom to. He wasn't sure how he really feel if it was a daughter. He has had one still born son, Daughter that died two weeks after her birth. A son die two months of age. Another daughter die two years of age, and a daughter still born in that order. In that order it was James still born son. Amy daughter die two weeks after her birth. Arthur die two months after his birth. Audrey die two years old from an illness no one seems to figure out was. Then there is Avis who was a still born daughter. Here is this birth with Leah, that leaves them with six births and right now no living children between them. All their kids have gone to heaven.

Monday July 12, 1529

He has been getting deep into his thoughts of this, while still pacing. He heard footsteps now, nearly 20 hours of labor and turned his head to where there was still two soldiers standing, and watched it closely waiting to see who would come through the door. He saw the young brown-haired young lady-in-waiting again. The same young woman that rushed from his wife's room when it started. She looked tired? And a bit worried?

He was sure it was worried on her face, he turned to Calrisle when he was sure it was worry from the young woman's face. He believes his wife calls her Lady Bella. Lady Isabella Swan. Yes, he remembers her as his friend Emmett's younger sister and cousin Jasper's sister-in-law as she is Lady Alice Cullen's sister.

He turned back to the young woman as he saw her look the crowed for him and noticed him and made her way over to the king. She seemed so nervous and worried still. He grew more tense he was sure this was bad news.

"His majesty, Her majesty has a fever and wishes to see you." she said and turned to leave.

"Wait, what of the child?" he asked at last.

"She wishes to tell you herself. Please." the young lady said in reply and was making her way to leave. "Please come with me." she meowed.

Edward was numb and followed the young woman as he wasn't sure he was walking on his own until he saw his wife's door and the young lady moved aside to let him past her. He rushed to his wife's door and opened it, the door hit the wall from his force. He didn't mean to push the door open so hard. The ladies turned at the sound and moved aside to let Edward by. They lowered their heads to their king.

Edward turned to look at the child that was wrapped in a blanket and unmoving, he was about to unwrap the child when he heard someone whisper his name. His given name. A voice he knew as his wife's voice.

She knew to never call him by his given name when around others so it alarmed him. He saw sweat on her and how weak and sickly she looked. He rushed to his side and sat beside her. '

"I'm so sorry Edward..." she started, looking at her husband reaching for his hands. He let her touch his hand. "I'm sorry, I wasn't and won't be able to give you a son you so wish for." she rasped out.

Edward felt anger at the comment but also confusion. "What do you mean?" he whispered to her.

"It is a still born daughter. I'm so weak and doctor doesn't think I'll make the week." she rasped.

He turned to the child again, then back to his dying wife. He placed his hand on his wife's face, she felt so warm and hot. He looked at her for a bit, she looked back at him before she closed her eyes. He looked at her for a second while she rested before he finally got up and looked at the other ladies in the room, he noticed Lady Isabella has returned to the room now. He turned and saw his aunt by the door looking at him. He looked back at his aunt for a few moments before he rushed from the room. Anger blowing off of him.

There you have it the first chapter.
