Title: Tears of a Queen
Pairing: Mary/Francis
Spoilers/Warnings: Future-ish, Character Death
Author Note/Disclaimer: Mostly inspired by what Nostradamus says in the pilot. That Mary would be the cause of Francis death, so I decided to take a few liberties with that, compared to how the real Francis II died. Also with a few other matters as well. Also I don't own Reign
Summary: She never really expected she would lose her husband, after only a year of marriage.

When she had first said her wedding vows to Francis she has imagined it would last forever, or at the very least die when they are old and gray, after having several children.

She never really imagined she would be the one to cradle to her husband's bleeding and dying body a year into their marriage because he decided to protect her and their unborn child, from her would-be assassin.

There wasn't a doubt in Mary's mind that her English cousin (Elizabeth I) had been the one to send him to kill her and her unborn child, most likely so she can secure her English crown.

Even though, in her eyes, Elizabeth would never truly be the true Queen of England. She can't deny the fact that if it meant that her husband would still be alive, she would have gladly given up her rights to the English crown.

She vaguely watches the English assassin fall to the ground, from Sebastian blade. While he may have reacted too late to save his half-brother, he was able to react quickly enough to save his queen.

Her brown eyes immediately searched Sebastian's eyes, ordering him to find a doctor. Even though, he made no point denying her request, they both knew it was pointless.

Francis would most likely be dead before the doctor even got there. The wound was to fatal, and he already lost too much blood.

Instead the only thing she can really do is cradle his dying body, and whisper words of comfort and love, and she may have begged a little, as well.

It was a mixture and jumble, and she knows half of her words probably didn't make sense, considering she was a literally a sobbing mess right now.

But she hopes that Francis at least knew that she loved him. That she has always loved him, ever since she was six years old.

She honestly can't imagine loving another man with the same passion and love she had for Francis, with the same intensity.

Because, in her eyes, she had found her soul mate at the mere age of six, and she lost him at the young age of eighteen.

Honestly she knows she is fortunate enough that she and Francis were in love. She has seen quite a few arrange marriages go wrong, where the couple is either bitter or ends up that way. Her In-Laws were a perfect example of that.

"I have always loved you, Mary."

She couldn't help but to sob even more, at his final and dying words. He barely even managed to say her name, before dying in her arms.

"I will always love you, Francis."
