Elizabeth thanked the midwife and gave her a bag of money before ordering a servant to fetch her sister. Mary entered just a few minutes later and both sisters curtsied to each other.
" Elizabeth why do you want to see me?" Elizabeth smiled at Mary and took her out to the balcony. Mary looked at her in confusion" Right tell me now before I assume you are acting weird".
"I just found out today that I am..." Elizabeth trails to squeezing Mary's hand.
"What?" Mary asked Elizabeth.
"I am with child. At least 3 months along" Mary hugs Elizabeth tight and smiles at her.
"When is the babe due?" Mary asks.
"December or early January. I am going to tell Henry tonight. Do you know where he is though?" Elizabeth asks. Mary replies shrugging her shoulders.
"No, probably with Edward. If they aren't together probably Henry is doing a task for the king" Elizabeth nods smiling.
"I am not going to lie, Mary, I feel like I can't trust Henry when I go into confinement. Our father's marriages have not been good. Also, his father's past" Elizabeth tells mary fidgeting with the ring on her finger.
"Well, Edward made him promise to be faithful. Besides Henry loves you a lot. He would never try to hurt you especially while you are with child" Mary assures Elizabeth taking her hand in hers "I will be with you during your confinement anyway and throughout the birth, so you have no reason to worry".
Elizabeth smiles at Mary hugging her tightly before saying with a happy tone "Henry would pick the godfather if he would like but would you like to be the godmother of my child?". Mary looked at Elizabeth shocked. She nodded smiling hugging Elizabeth again.
Prince George Pov
" My father was doing a job for my uncle and was written in my mother's diary he was gone for a week. What did the king ask for Father to do? I don't know neither does my mother".
"Next will be when my mother tells father she is with child"

Whitehall Palace (Elizabeths Chambers)
24th June 1549
Elizabeth smiled as she saw her husband enter the chambers. She kissed his cheeks and hugged him tightly.
"Well, my dear wife I must say this is a very lovely welcome" Henry smiles sitting on a chair on the opposite side of the table from Elizabeth.
"I have missed you very much and we haven't been married for that long and Edward has already taken you from me" Henry laughs and Elizabeth smiles while chewing on an apple.
"There is something I must tell you but can you please pass me another apple?" Henry reaches into the bowl of fruit and took out an apple.
"Yes go ahead tell me what is the news," Henry says looking at the plate of food placed in front of him by a servant.
"You see my dear husband I have a craving, I desire nothing but apples" Elizabeth smiles sweetly at Henry.
"Oh-- a special craving perhaps," Henry asks his eyes staring into Elizabeths.
"Well, indeed it appears I desire apples above everything else".
Henry looks around the room, each servant and guard stood still
" Leave" they leave the royal couple alone and Henry speaks again.
"I think you're with child" Elizabeth nods smiling, Henry gets up from his chair and walks to Elizabeth, they kiss happily nothing but a crackling fire was heard in the rooms.
Prince George Pov
"Mother was only three months along when she found out she was with child. I was born that year in December. The events during her pregnancy though that was written in my mother's diary is what I will tell you about"
August 12th 1549
In just three months time Elizabeth was due to lie in. She will be 7 months along and no stress was to put in her. Her brother Edward had made an announcement to the court which Mary did not take to well. He decided to make Elizabeth a princess again but still allowed Mary to be in front of Elizabeth in the succession. He did not want Mary to try and harm Elizabeth or any of her children if she was Queen and Mary tried to take over the throne. Maybe letting his stubborn older sister be Queen will stop a possible war of sisters.
Elizabeth was sitting on a chair in her chambers reading her mother's book when Mary walked in looking angry. Elizabeth stared at her, using her eyes to a servant to fetch her brother and husband if trouble will be started.
"You know it is so unfair that Edward sees you as a legitimate child and not me. I swear to god and my mother's life I shall make you a bastard once again" Mary screams in rage.
"I had nothing to do with this and this is Edwards choice, not mine. I didn't ask him to make me a princess and even if I did I would ask him to make you one too" Elizabeth defends herself.
"No, you're a liar like your mother" the doors burst open and Edward and Henry came storming into the chambers. Elizabeth placed her hands on her stomach and watched as Edward pulled Mary out the room. Henry kneeled by Elizabeth's side, placing one hand over a hand in her belly and stroking her hair softly with the other.
"Did she hurt you?" Henry asked with a tone of worry.
"No, well not physically only emotionally but I am fine though. Don't worry I am fine" Elizabeth assures him, giving Henry a small smile.
"Ok, if you are sure?" Elizabeth nods kissing him gently in the lips.
"Have your ladies in here with you I will visit you later after the council meeting". The couple kiss again before Henry gets up and leaves.
Later that night
It was late at night when Elizabeth awoke to a pain in her abdomen and something wet down her legs, she put her hand under the covers to touch her leg and sees blood when she takes her hand out. She screamed and her ladies ran in, looking shocked at the sight before them.
Sorry for the late update, also I know it is impossible to place a bastard in front of a legitimate princess and that's why in this story Edward will put his cousin Lady Jane on the throne. I am doing a special Christmas fanfiction story about the Tudors (Obviously), which is to be published on Christmas Eve Eve and then another Christmas story Christmas Eve. So two specials, if you have any ideas contact me on PM or review any ideas. Fav and follow and thanks for reading the chapter.
