Katherine of Aragon was overjoyed. Her miracle had come true. She was indeed with child. It seemed as though the Queen had a permanent smile on her face now, and the court was very curious as to what caused her mood. She couldn't wait to tell her husband the good news. Trying to calm her nerves as she waited for her husband, Katherine passed the room muttering another silent prayer.
"Please let me succeed this time. Please"
"His Majesty King Henry VIII" a lady in waiting announced.
With a radiant smile Katherine greeted her husband. "Hello my love how was your day?"
Struck by her smile Henry was taken aback. He hadn't seen her smile like that in awhile and her beauty reminded him of the feelings he had for her when they were first wed.
"It was ok my darling how was your day" Henry replied leading his Queen to the dinner table that was laid out for the two of them.
"It was absolutely perfect. In fact I have something to tell you"
"What is it my love?"
"I haven't been feeling well so I spoke with a midwife and Dr. Linacare who confirmed my suspicions".
Worried Henry asked "Darling are you alright! What is wrong" He couldn't bare to loose his love. It was true that he hadn't been faithful to her but he loved her and was reminded just how much. He wouldn't know what to do if he lost her.
"My love I am with child. God has blessed us with a miracle"
It took a moment for Henry to comprehend what his wife had told him. Then in an instant he grabbed Katherine out of her seat holding her close.
With tears in his eyes he said "I love you so much my love"
That night Henry slept beside his wife holding her close. God had blessed them with a miracle and he vowed to stay true to his wife and forget his mistresses. From here on out it would be different.
