She never truly enjoyed the experiences of feeling the child quickening within as she grieved the lost of her firstborn child. She knew that the child that in her womb if its a son would be Arthur's replacement.
After the New Year celebrations held throughout court, it mark the day in which Elizabeth enter into confinement to await the birth of her unborn child.
The days of January flew by for Elizabeth because on the first minute of February she felt the first pains of childbirth.

Within minutes, ladies-in-waiting change the sheets and dispose of the bloody linens used during childbirth. While others clean Elizabeth in a birth and dressed her in a fresh nightgown.
When her lady-in-waiting announces "Your majesty, his majesty the King" as Henry walks into the bedchambers to see Elizabeth peacefully laying in the middle of the bed in a weaken state.
"I wish to see our child" states Henry waiting to know if he had another son or daughter.
Elizabeth gestures for two midwives to each bring a child over in their arms to meet their father for the first time. She explains to Henry "My husband, I have given you two children today" happily knowing that both babies were borne crying and not silent instead.
The first midwife explains happily "Your majesty, the Queen borne another Prince for England and yourself" handing over the baby boy into his father's awaiting arms.
Henry looks closely at his newborn son to see the resemblance to his York heritage instead of his Tudor heritage. Holding him her a moment before placing him in Elizabeth's awaiting arms.
The second midwife says joyfully "Your majesty, the Queen borne for you another Princess" while placing the baby girl in her father's arms for the first time.
The baby princess reminds Henry of when their daughter Mary was borne years earlier before placing their daughter in Elizabeth's other arm. Henry then sits down beside Elizabeth on the bed.
"I have decided that our daughter shall be named Katherine in hopes of the daughter-in-law's father paying off the remaining of her dowry. As it would be a gesture of good faith on our part" explains Henry looking at his newborn daughter before adding "For our little Prince, his name shall be named James the Duke of Pembroke"

The joyful occasion of the birth of Prince James the Duke of Pembroke and Princess Katherine was short lived. Days after her birth, Katherine fell deadly ill and day when she was a mere eight days old. However, the lost of the country's Queen was more devastating as she died on what would be have been her thirty-seventh birthday from puerperal fever.
Baby James was the only thing that give comfort to his father and remaining siblings as he was their miracle that avoided the death like his mother and twin sister.
