Chapter 1

Katherine POV

I am sitting in my chambers, waiting for the king to make a decision concerning my execution. Will I be executed, or will I not? All this started when I met Thomas Culpepper. I, dear Katherine Howard, committed adultery against the king. I weep piteously, praying that I will not be executed, though that is very unlikely.

Though perhaps Henry will keep me if I am with child. I am, really truly, and I have been for two weeks. Being with child is what got my dear cousin Anne married to the king. Who says it shall not save me too? If it is a boy, it surely will. I hope with all my might for a boy.

Henry POV

I am walking down the hall, coming from the chapel. As I draw nearer to my apartments I hear screaming. "Henry! Henry, please! It's me, Katherine! It's Katherine, Katherine! I don't want to die!" the foolish wife of mine, Katherine screams. I ignore her and walk to my apartments. I need to think.

A page brings me a note. "It is from Katherine." He whispers. "You may leave now." I tell him.

Dearest Henry,

I am with child. I have been for two weeks. If you execute me, it will surely die!

Your loving wife,

Katherine

She is with child! Though the question still remains: Is it mine or Culpepper's? I truly hope it is mine, and that I get a son.

Katherine POV

Oh! I…

A/N: Cliffhanger! I have to admit, they are fun to do! What do you think? Should it be Henry's or Culpepper's?
