Hello guys! English, it is not my motherly language, I'm French so I apologize if there are some mistakes. Don't hesitate to tell me where they are so that I can improve.

I know that this kind of story is overdone but I want to make my own version.

I hope my little story will please you..

One more chance

Chapter one: Let us try

1536

Anne had failed him. Again. That was the second time that she lost their baby. Henry started to believe that their marriage was sinful in God's eye. The two servants took away the little and lifeless body away while Doctor Linacre remained with Henry.

' How is the queen?'

' The queen will survive Your Majesty, though she is heart broken.'

' What caused the death of our son?'

' It was no failure from Her Majesty's body. Several of her ladies told me that she had witnessed something that distressed her.'

Henry remembered the scene. Anne entered in his room while he was kissing his sweet Jane. Even if he felt a small wave of guilt, he thought that he was in his right. A king could have a mistress while his wife was with child and so, unable to fulfil her marital duty.

' The loss happened because of a psychological failure. '

' Are you implying that my wife is mad?' Henry shouted suddenly

Anne mad? How could he? How dared he?

' I never meant that Your Majesty!'

' Explain yourself at once or I'll have your head chopped off! '

The doctor took a breath before he started to explain.

' We have a theory that psychology can have a deep impact upon a pregnancy. We followed two ladies while they were pregnant. One was stressed, the other was not. The first one had a difficult pregnancy, the birth was hard and the baby has problems. As for the other, all went perfectly well. I think that the miscarriage happened because Her Majesty had too much pain in her heart and she cannot tell anyone, fearing that it might be used against her. This is what I propose to Your Majesty: a talk with Queen Anne when she will say everything she has in her mind. Then, we will be able to help her better for her next pregnancy.'

Henry thought it was worth giving a try. He loved Anne. With his life. She gave him a beautiful daughter. And if she was healthy, they could have a son together. He remembered how often she told him about her fears about his first daughter Mary. He often heard her father scowling her but he never did anything, he did not want to make her upset. And he finally understood why she saw her brother and Master Smeaton so often. It was because they listened to her, she could open her heart to them. They were her truest friends in his court.

' Why not? If it can help the queen, I am ready to do it. '
