After hearing the rumours, inside the Boleyn family apartments there where heated discussions occurring.
"Did you know that your sister was with child?" asks Boleyn firmly to his two other children.
George states coldly to his father "No" as he spend most of his time trying to annul his marriage to his wife Lady Jane Parker.
Then Boleyn turns to look at his eldest daughter and simply stated "You knew that Anne was with child"
"Of course I knew" says Mary quickly as she knew what her father's reaction would be.
Boleyn yells at his children and wife "I prayed that the King would see that replacing Anne with that wretch was a mistake" as he still held out hope that he could be the father of the next King of England.
"My dear husband, Anne will never become our Queen again even if Lady Seymour failed in birthing a son or die trying" states Lady Boleyn firmly against her husband's stand in the situation.
"Father you should be happy that you are still the grandfather of a recognized Princess but more importantly the Princess Royal" says George hopeful to get his point across that their little Elizabeth will be the country's heiress presumptive until a healthy Prince is born to the King.
Boleyn thinks about for a second before saying "The court will watch both Anne and the wrench the entire time until they give birth, so we must use it to our advantage"
From that moment Boleyn began to plan out the different avenues that could be taken before getting Norfolk involve as well.

Henry and Anne end up meeting briefly in the nursery with Elizabeth to discus the progress in the Princess Royal residence at Eltham Palace.
Anne looks at her directly at Elizabeth before saying "We are still deciding on the colour scheme for the parts of Eltham Palace but construction shall begin in the spring to make the palace more welcoming and light"
"Instead of gloomy and darkness that Eltham Palace was during my childhood" states Henry knowing that it would be one of the major changes made.
Anne says indifferently "Of course along with redesigning particular rooms as well"
Henry calmly states "Inform me when Elizabeth and yourself make any concrete plans are in place" as he stands up walks over to kiss Elizabeth goodbye leaving mother and child alone. As he plans to spend the rest of the morning in bed with Lady Ursula.
