AN: Dedicated to Guest Reviewer Alex for putting out this idea! XOXO thank you sweetie! The inclusion of little Henry is for Catherine Woods because he's her favorite. Just a short little update, enjoy the read everyone.

"Mother?" Henry asked from beside her.

He was drawing a picture of the castle with some charcoal. "Yes, darling?"

"Do you know if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl?" Catherine brushed his bangs out of his eyes.

"No, sweetheart, I don't know that." She said softly.

He turned his big blue eyes up to her. "May I request a sister?"

"A sister? Why a sister?" She laughed at his earnestness.

Henry shaded in some stones of the castle. "I think there are too many boys, plus with Elizabeth gone, it's only boys now."

"Hmm, I will have to confer with your father and see what he has to say about the matter." She responded with a wry smile.

"Do you think Father will agree?" Her little boy asked, worried.

"Will agree on what?"

In strode her son's namesake. "Father!"

Their son bounded over to his father and leapt up into his arms. "Hello, my boy. What's all this now?"

"Henry wants a sister, not a brother." Catherine replied as both her Henrys were settled onto the couch.

"Why?" Her husband asked her son.

"Because I think a sister would be a nice change to all us boys!" He answered simply.

"Well, I do suppose that's a valid reason. What say you if the baby turns out to be a boy though?" Little Henry smiled.

"I'll still be the best big brother ever."

The King nodded. "I'm going to count on that. Now, march off to the training yards, young knight. We need you to protect the realm and your unborn brother or sister!"

He hopped off his father's lap. "Yes, Father!"

Giving his parents his best bow, the youngest prince of France skipped off to his training lessons. Catherine looked on fondly at her boy with a soft smile. He was such a darling. Her husband reached down and swung her legs up and into his lap. Henry began to reach under her skirts, to which Catherine swatted his hands away. He tried again and she watched him warily. His hands slid up her leg and a thrill shot down her spine. Firstly, she tried not to kick him, as ticklish as she was, but she did love the feeling of his hands on her. Henry undid the ribbons of her stockings and slid them off one at a time. What was he going to do? Henry pushed up her skirts with a free hand, her hem at her knees now, and Catherine was getting rather nervous.

What should happen if someone walked in? One of the children? Did he really intend to…but oh. Oh, yes. Catherine let her head rest against the couch as her husband's hands worked their magic on her. What had she been missing for all these years? Henry's large hands had taken her and were rubbing small circles into her flesh. This was really the best foot rub she'd ever received in her whole life. His thumbs kneaded her deeply, alternating the direction every so often and she loved it. He followed the contour of her arch and pushed in on a particularly difficult spot. Catherine groaned in response. It was so good, so very good. She relaxed into the cushions as her husband continued working on her tired, aching feet. A moan as another area was taken care of. She didn't even care where he learned how to do this, all she wanted was more of this, more of him. She sighed his name.

"Catherine, you must stop that, darling." He continued massaging her feet, though not nearly as focused as before.

She lazily opened her eyes. "Hmm? Stop what?"

"Making those…noises." He cleared his throat.

"But Henry, it feels so, oh it feels so good." She replied.

He nodded. "I'm glad for that, but really, Catherine…"

"Yes?" She asked through a moan.

"I'm losing my mind when you do that." He sighed.

"Mmm, am I that distracting?" She wiggled her toes.

"Yes."

She laughed breathily at his quick answer. "And if I were to encourage your attentions, what would you do?"

"Anything and everything you ever wanted." He turned to look at her.

"Anything and everything you say…" He nodded. "Why don't you go get some desserts and we'll find some uses for them?"

A quick kiss to her lips and he was gone. Strutting through the castle, Henry went down to the kitchens himself to select exactly what he wanted to share with his wife. He picked out a few of her favorites and a couple of his, had them done up on a platter and carried the platter back to the room. Popping a sugared berry into his mouth, he let the juices settle on his tongue before swallowing. Catherine did love the taste of raspberries. Pushing the door open with his back so he could keep two hands on the tray, he called out to the guards that he and his wife were not to be disturbed. They nodded, stoic as ever. Satisfied that he'd have some private time with his wife, Henry turned excitedly into the room and—oh. Catherine had fallen asleep on the couch. Placing the treats onto the low table for later, Henry slipped his arms beneath her and carried her to bed. How could he begrudge his pregnant wife some sleep? They could always fool around later. Next time, he'd just have the servants bring the desserts to them.

AN: I feel like such a tease for doing that to all of you, but—let's say I'm just channeling Catherine. Hahaha, I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

To Maya: So glad you've liked it so far. Henry's other AHEM women will be addressed eventually. I just wanted to play around with them being cute and together. Ohhhhhhh snap. I'M IN LOVE WITH THAT PROMPT. I'll have to see where it would fit in, but IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

To Catherine Woods: *curtsey* Why thank you, it was my pleasure! Henry carrying Catherine everywhere? Will do!

To smacked lover 22: Did you like Catherine here? I think everyone could do with a good foot rub now and again. They're life changing.

To VervainAndRoses: Awww shucks, thanks sweetie! Francis seeing his mother pregnant…INTERESTING. VERY INTERESTING!

To Beawild: I just really wanted Catherine to slap somebody, to be honest. Haha, is that horrible? I did love writing crazy angry Henry though, that was really fun. You're definitely my Nosty in fanfiction land. It's getting crazy, hahah! Henrine? I feel you. Haha, I actually do Cathry because for me, Catherine should always come first, haha :) I don't want her hurt either, but…stay on board for some misunderstandings, maybe not next time but soon! Was it really that steamy? Gracious, I'm blushing! I feel like I was a horrible tease for this chapter, but I'll work something out for you, sweetie. Steamy…Steamy…OH SNAP I GOT IT. Oh darling, you're gonna love it.

To unnamed visitor: HUZZAH! *throws up fist in the air* I'm really glad you like her pregnantness (even though that's not a word). I do expect rainbows and lullabies by the end of this, don't you worry your lovely self about that! Send in more ideas if you have them! I'd love to hear what else you would like to see!

To Arya: First off, well done on your name. Game of Thrones fan or are you just fortunate enough to have a kick ass birth name? Thank you for reviewing sweetling, did you like this chapter? Let me know!

As always, if there's anything in particular that you'd like to see Catherine and the family go through during her pregnancy, just let me know! Oh, and if you want some Catherine and Henry to get into some sexy shenanigans, just wait. It's coming up. Everyone thank Beawild for inspiring me and giving me the courage to write something a little naughty once more! Next chapter will definitely be M, I'm warning you now.
