I would like to thank everyone for the patients with me because I have been doing 12 hour days at my job and I have been kicking my own ass for not writing. But I will make chapter 8 within the next week.

Okay, on with the show.

Christmas Celebrations

December 23 1534

"Announcing, the King Henry and Queen Anne." A page boy yelled into the great hall, silencing everyone that had come to the celebrations.

Anne averted her eyes from her husband to look at the midwives holding her children. William, Henry and Elizabeth had been brought to court from Hatfield a week before. Since the twins have been born Henry have been giving Anne the world. Allowing her to do whatever she chooses with the children and herself. Her boys were her savoir and always will be.

"Are you happy my love" Henry asked drawing her back to reality while helping her onto her throne.

"I'm the most happy" She smiled back at him, "I have a faithful husband, three beautiful children and a Kingdom that finally excepts me."

Smiling henry sat down next to her, an began to look around the room. He was worried, more worried than he should be. Kitty announced two months ago that she was pregnant with his child none the less. What was he to do, put her away as he did Bessie or should he keep her as his wife's lady in waiting. No it would be too risky and he could not have that. He hated this, trying to decide without Anne there to help. But this was a situation that should not have anything to do with her. She would never trust him at all if he told. His best friend was still in the dark about all this.

"Hunny" Anne said shaking his hand trying to regain his attention.

"What dear." He asked pulling himself from his thoughts to pay attention.

"I asked do you like your gift" She said glancing at the goblet that the man was carrying.

"It's beautiful, my love" He pulled her into a short kiss in front of the entire court. As Anne pulled back, she blushed, it had been a while since he had shown her affection in front of the entire court let alone her ladies.

"My lord" She smiled before turning back to the festivals that had begun.

"Will you excuse me my love, I must speak with Charles." Henry kissed her hand and left.

"Charles could I have a word please." Henry asked looking behind him to see if he was following him. The page boy closed the door leaving them two alone.

"What is wrong Your Majesty." Charles asked looking at Henry with a concerned expression.

"Remember with Anne was in her lay in and I took a mistress."

Charles nodded.

"Well she came to be two months ago and told me she was pregnant. I can't tell Anne. She would never trust me again. I promised her that if she delivered me a son I would stop all this nonsense with these females." Henry raced through his words franticly.

"Who was your mistress if I may ask" Charles took a step towards him.

"It was her Lady in waiting and her cousin. Kitty" Henry stuttered.

"Would you like Master Cromwell and I to take care of it." Brandon asked raising one eye brow.

The King nodded.

Queen Anne looked at herself in the mirror for the eighth time. Tonight she did not feel right, as though something bad was going to happen to her or her husband. A sad thought struck her brain and she began to cry. Lady Mary rushed to her side, trying to comfort her stepmother the best she could.

" Oh mother it will be alright" Mary whispered the words to her and she left Anne soft underneath her.

"Oh Mary" She cried wrapping her arms around her and began weeping some more. "I fear something is going to happen to me"

Mary drew back and stared at Anne. "Nothing is going to happen to you, you are the Queen of England and my father loves you. He loves you even more now since you delivered my brothers."

Nan bowed before entering the chambers to her Lady.

"My Lady, your brother is here to see you" She said

"Send him in will you." Anne kisses Mary on the hand before standing up to receive her brother.

"Is it true" George yelled pushing past Nan.

"Is what true" She asked baffled.

"Father told me this night that the King and you have arranged a suitable marriage for me." He looked from Anne to Mary. "Lady Mary."

"Your Grace" She said nodding her head a little in his direction.

"Father wants to see you married and I suggested to the King what he wanted and Henry found you a match." Anne watched him pace in front of her.

"Jane Parker, she was a lady in waiting to the Dowager Princess and she was a pain in the arse back then too. What makes you think that I want her as a wife, she is a horrible being of a woman." He wiped the sweat from his brow. "I would rather marry the Lady Mary" He whispered.

"What was that George." Anne tuned him back in for a moment.

"Nothing, I shouldn't have come and bothered you with my ranting. Forgive me but I will leave you now" He glanced at a blushing Lad Mary before leaving his sister with her Ladies.

Mary turned towards the fire before grabbing at her gown. She had heard what he had said. He would rather marry her, under what criteria did he think that he was noble enough to marry her. She was the Kings daughter. In the back of her mind she knew that this day would have to come. That she would have to marry, but she didn't want him to think that she would want too. Besides he is betrothed to Jane Parker, who was by far much prettier that she.

"Lady Mary are you alright" Anne asked.

"I'm fine your majesty, I just feel a little ill is all." She looked up at her.

"You may retire to your chambers if you'd like." Anne smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Mary curtsied before leaving.

Henry paced inside his chambers. A week ago he had asked Cromwell and Suffolk to take care of a problem for him and they have yet to alert him on any of the progress on anything.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Suffolk is here to see you." A page boy announced

"well don't just stand there like an idiot, send him in." He said quickly standing from him chair. In his hand Charles held a light blue sash.

"Your Majesty" He bowed and stood.

"well is the problem solved." Henry asked

"She said she would live excluded from everyone that knows her, so that they may not think so low of her." He reported "I have personal moved her to the lower countries, in one of my estates that her uncle will keep up for her till the bastard is born than she is to be shunned and send to France and the child will go to a random family. Unless she loses the child."

"Thank you, I am very pleased with this news." He smiled, "you may leave."

The page boy ushered the Duke out as Henry sat down smiling to himself.

"who was she" He heard jerking his head up to peer into his inner chambers as Anne stormed into the outer chamber. "You lied to me" he watched her chest heave with anger, "you told me that you were loyal to be while I was in confinement. Your lied to me. I heard everything that you two had said."

"Anne please calm down." He said standing and pulling her into his arms, but she pushed him away. "You promised me that you wouldn't."

"I had her before you went into confinement though" He pleaded.

"Before, so four months ago" She yelled before straightening her head up and retrieving her calmness. "I was coming to tell you that as of yesterday the doctor said I was able to be a full wife to you since it has been two and a half months since the twins were born, but after what I heard tonight I don't think I can lay with you." She turned and left leaving a stunned Henry behind.

Hatfield.

Elizabeth stood in her tippy toes to peer into her brothers basinet. Since her brothers had moved into her home she has been nothing but joy. Looking up she seen her lady in waiting, Ashley pick up William and sit on the floor next to her. Sitting like a lady, Elizabeth held out her arms as he was placed into her lap. She smiled, he was so small compared to her and she loved holding him.

"William" She stated in her child like voice. "I'm your sissy" her smile widened as he opened his eyes and began making cooing noises at her. "I love him Lady Ashfee"

"I love him too princess" Ashley looked up at the door. "what is it."

"Lady Bryan has ordered you to accompany the Princess and Prince William to Whitehall, there is a carriage waiting for you outside and the prince and princess things are already on their way."

Lady Ashley took the babe from his sister before standing up.

"What has happened." Ashley asked.

"Prince Henry the 9th has caught the sweating sickness"
