( thought i would have a shift in point of views so please dont be confused!)

10:00 AM Whitehall Palace:

The first person to see the King return with the newly pardoned Sir Thomas More was his second wife Anne Boleyn. She ran up to her husband who demounted his horse and helped Sir Thomas down from the horse.

"Where were you and what is this Sir Thomas More is pardoned business? And this you are sending the power back to Rome nonsense." She yelled and then saw that Henry was indeed helping a newly pardoned Thomas More down the pathway to the castle. "By god it is true YOU PARDONED HIM. Why Henry, all that mess for nothing? He didn't sign the oath. That damn quack Bishop Fisher died for nothing."

Henry walked slowly with his arm around Thomas. Thomas was leaning on Henry for support.

"One, the oath has been officially destroyed. Two, Bishop Fisher regardless was going to be convicted of treason even if it wasn't due to the bloody oath, and three, we have Rome's support now, now our dear Elizabeth is no longer a bastard so we can betroth her to whoever we want," Henry started, "our marriage will stay legitimate as long as Katherine finds a new suitor and she and I a couple of hours ago agreed on a new suitor, a man in this court she has had her eye on for years."

Thomas was still oblivious to what was going on. He still had to process the fact that he was pardoned of all crimes.

"Who?"

Henry leaned his head towards Thomas, indicating who this "mystery suitor" was. Anne's eyes widened. Thomas still had no idea what was going on.

"Sir Thomas," Anne whispered, "don't tell me that is the reason you saved him?"

Thomas heard his name and nodded his head up.

"What about me?" Thomas slurred.

"Hush," Henry said, "Don't talk for now you'll lose your strength, no that's not the reason, Thomas was a strong chancellor, I am reinstating him as soon as he gets his strength back."

Thomas' eyes widened.

"I thought I said I resigned."

Henry gave Thomas a look.

"Remember who pardoned you?"

"Oh right I'll gladly take my position back."

Henry smiled.

"Thought so, save the talking until you get your strength back."

Thomas immediately went into a daze again. Henry and Anne went back into their conversation.

"Isn't he married?" Anne whispered.

"Was, his wife died of shock as she heard the news of you know," Henry whispered back being careful with his choice of words. He didn't want to bombard his dear friend and mentor with too much shock yet.

"Oh how dreadful?"

As soon as Anne said that Henry opened the door to the entrance of the castle. The court that was busy and noisy all of a sudden became quiet. Everyone gasped and there were whispers. All eyes were pointing towards the pardoned "Criminal".

"Alright," Henry growled, "there is nothing to see here!"

Everyone went back to his or her Business and Henry helped Thomas up the stairs into the guest room.

10:30 AM The More:

Katherine of Aragon was pacing in her lodges. She thought it was fair of what Henry decided with the Pope. Now she was waiting to know if Henry made it in time to save her possible future husband. She pondered about the future. Would she be allowed to see Mary now? Would Henry at least allow her back at court?

Whatever the outcome was most important to her was the man she loved's life was saved today. And for some reason, her sudden change in health was a good sign of the future. All of a sudden there was a knock on her door.

"Miss Darrell would you get the door for me?" Katherine asked.

Elizabeth Darrell smiled.

"Of course your majesty," She replied.

"Let's pray it's good news."

Elizabeth walked over to the door and saw it was Charles Brandon the Duke of Suffolk.

"Your grace you come baring news let me get her majesty."

No need Katherine was already at the door to great Charles. Charles bowed out of respect.

"Your grace Henry sent you so the news better be good, did Henry make it in time?"

Charles wanted to play around with Katherine like he did with everyone. Of course he bent his head to the floor and tried not the smile, like something bad just happened.

"Your majesty I am truly sorry…" Charles started.

Katherine's face all of a sudden flushed of all color.

"Well, did Henry make it in time? Tell me!"

Charles sighed.

"I regret to inform you your majesty, that the king…. made it in time to pardon Sir Thomas of all crimes and Sir Thomas is now safely at Whitehall in his majesty's guest quarters being cared for by the physician."

Katherine struck Charles in upright side the head. Charles gasped in pain.

"MANWHORE! YOU SCARED ME!"

She finally breathed. Charles was laughing hysterically.

"You should have seen your face! It was entertaining anyway I was sent by his Majesty to escort you to Whitehall to make yours and Sir Thomas' betrothal official. Would you need a litter your majesty?"

"I know how to ride a horse and I swear, if you weren't Henry's best friend I would wring your neck…Ms Darrell please get my stuff ready we are going to Whitehall to announce the betrothal of me and my future husband Sir Thomas More."

10:35 am The Roper Estate Chelsea:

Margaret More-Roper was depressed all day. She did not want to get out of bed. She sent her husband to her father's execution because she wanted some sense of reassurance that her father at least died with some dignity. All of a sudden the door opened revealing a smiling William Roper.

"Morning sweetheart," William said.

He ran over to the windows and pulled open the blinds. Margaret did nothing but pull the covers over her head.

"Leave me alone Husband," she snarled, "my father is dead you heartless fool, and yet you seem to be so blunt about it. So tell me Husband was my father brave at least in his final moments?"

William pulled the covers off Margaret's head. She was ready to strike him with the big wide grin he had on his damn face.

"See you're wrong Margaret, remember I told you there was a possibility of your father being pardoned?"

"Husband you are tricking me and that is horribly rude. My father's head is on some bloody stake in London leave me be I don't want to get out of bed EVER again. NOW TELL ME DID MY FATHER DIE WITH DIGNITY?"

Margaret put the covers over her head again. William once again ripped the covers off the bed this time completely.

"You're father with his head in tact is alive at Whitehall, his majesty pardoned him at the execution."

Margaret really was ready to pounce on William Roper and wring his neck.

"PROVE IT!"

William simply pulled out a note. Margret ripped it out of his hands and smiled and cried tears of joy:

Meg,

Don't worry now I'm alive, Harry is riding me over to Whitehall to see the physician, your adoptive sister Margret Griggs is off getting your other siblings so as soon as William gives you this letter leave right away. I will look forward to seeing you because I know last time you were distressed seeing me in a state as a prisoner.

Love always

Your ever-loving Father

Ps. Sorry if this is messy I am writing this on Harry's back oh one more thing do me a favor pick up Alice for me, she will be so ecstatic to see me alive.

Margaret wiped the last of her tears of rejoice. But then she realized something:

"OH BULLOCKS!" She said suddenly, "FATHER DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT ALICE!"

"Well," William said, "I guess we're going to have to tell him when we get to Whitehall don't we? I already got the nanny to watch the children let's go before your thinks we abandon him."

And quickly and happily the Ropers got ready to embark to Whitehall to joyfully reunite with Margaret's father.

10:45 am More Estate, Chelsea:

John More opened the door into the gallery. His eyes were puffy and red. His face and cheeks glistened with tears. He knew grown men's crying was often frowned upon in society, but this was a moment where tears were understandable. He was young, alone and scared most of all he was heartbroken. He was trying so hard to impress his father but just as fortunes were looking up for John his father was executed and sentenced to death. He walked down the hall remember his father's trail the last time he saw him.

"Sir Thomas More, you are hereby sentenced to be drawn on a hurdle to the site of your execution, hung by the neck until you're almost dead, your bowls and privy parts cut off and burned in front of you, your head cut off, and your body divided into four parts." The Judge said.

NO John thought this can't be happening.

He watched as his father looked to the floor in shame. He couldn't hear it anymore. He ran out of the courtroom, his chest tightened. He gasped to get some air. But it seemed his lungs couldn't take the air in. Then he watched as his father was pulled out in shackles and his elder sister attacking a guard to hug her father one last time. Then John gained the strength to push through the crowd.

"FATHER!" He screamed, "FATHER!"

His father asked calmly to the guards to have one last word with his son. Permission was granted. John hugged his father in tears. Thomas put his chained hands on each of his son's shoulders.

"My only son," Thomas said, "I am so proud of you, remember, I pray one day you can be a trusted and respectable lawyer like I was maybe even a member of government, but for now be careful, be brave and be in good cheer and one day just one day we'll meet again in the kingdom of heaven. Just always remember if there is ever a time where you are scared and in a time of crisis I will protect you, I will be there in your heart John and be with you always. For my final blessing, may god grant you long life, healthy children and of course success. Good bye John and remember to be brave, promise me you will be brave."

"I will father," John choked between tears.

Thomas gave John one last kiss on the forehead and was led away. John looked to his father one last time and collapsed.

He was never brave his father knew that. He was scared always. His father was always consoling John of nightmares he may have in the middle of the night. He was in fear of losing his father ever since his mother died. But he awoke this morning and knew his nightmares came true. Not only did he lose his father but his stepmother too. Marriage was on hold until John received his law degree. So here he was, in his early 20's and alone and scared.

He finally stopped at the picture he was looking for. It was his fathers. He studied it for a moment. Oh did his father look handsome. John knew the picture was painted around the time his father was elected lord chancellor. He wore a beautiful brown cloak with brown fur trimmings, a brown doublet, and his infamous black hat and of course around his neck his gold seal necklace he always wore. John tried to smirk amidst of his tears when he saw his father was holding a book in the picture. His father was always brilliant scholar.

John touch his father's picture. He knew the hour passed and his dear father whom he loved so much was gone.

"Father I am so scared, bring me a sign," He said.

All of a sudden the door to the gallery busted opened and in comes Margaret Griggs, the girl his father adopted so long ago. She was smiling from ear to ear. John didn't turn back he kept staring at his father's portrait.

"How was father's execution?" John said trying to keep his composure. He knew Margaret was the only one who went besides Meg's husband William.

"He was pardoned," Margaret said.

John turned around in shock. He actually did pray the night before for hope that his father would be pardoned of all crimes. He grinned from ear to ear; all hope was restored within him.

"I knew the lord would listen to me, where is he?"

"The king took him to Whitehall he's waiting for you and your sisters there."

"Well then why are just sitting here let's go!"

11:15 AM Heron Estate Chelsea:

Oh I wish I didn't have to do this Cecily More Heron thought.

Her father told her that it was best when there was a death in the family to any child the truth. Now that it was her own father she had to do it, for him. It scared her that now her father was watching from some unknown place. But she might as well before her children started asking, "Where's Grandpa?"

Her children were sitting around the table their faces all were blank. Though they were young they knew something was wrong.

"Children I have some bad news," She started, "Your grandfather made the king very unhappy and so…."

All of a sudden the door burst open and her loud obnoxious sister Elizabeth More Daunce ran through the door.

"CECILY, CECILY FATHER'S BEEN PARDONED!" Elizabeth said enthusiastically, "GILES IS GOING TO WATCH YOUR KIDS WE MUST GO MEET FATHER AT WHITEHALL AT ONCE!"

"Children, what I just said was a figment of my imagination, Mamma's has to do something, I'll be back."

Before the dumbfounded children could reply Elizabeth and Cecily ran out the door.

So how am I doing so Far? Oh perks should be updated later
