King Henry VIII
We shall name her "Cordelia" I said smiling down at my newest daughter "Cordelia Tudor".
"Cordelia" she said testing it out on her lips before letting a smile break across her face "what does it mean?" she asked smiling down at out daughter.
"It means heart, for she has stolen mine also it is the sea jewel and her eyes, like your remind me of the sea".
"I like it" she said kissing Cordelia's head lovingly.
"I must go now Katherine, tis late, rest I shall be back tomorrow" I said kissing her head and leaving.
Katherine Boleyn
"My little Cordelia" is said lovingly to my newest daughter as she gurgled in my arms; I vaguely heard the door open and close but was too caught up in Cordelia's beautiful face.
"Katherine" I heard Thomas's emotionless voice say and I looked up my smile falling.
"The King has named her Cordelia Tudor" I said softly he only looked down at her, distaste evident in his face. I unconsciously drew her closer to me.
Thomas slowly walked over and gently sat next to me.
"The King is giving you Dover Castle in Kent where you shall go in three days time with Isabella, Tom and…..Cordelia" his voice was cold at the end sending chills down my spine.
"Thomas" I said weakly as the maid came to take Cordelia away to bring her to her nurse, "please do not be upset" I said softly.
"Let us not speak of it, George wishes to visit, I have told him sometime later maybe when you are settled at Dover". I knew why he did not want George to come; he knew that he would ask questions as to why this child looked like the King and not Thomas.
"All right" I said gripping my hands tightly "are you to come with me to Dover?" I already knew the answer but I had to ask anyway.
"No, I am to stay here at Richmond with their Majesties" I bit my lip nervously.
"Did you not even ask to come with me?" I said looking up to meet his eyes.
"Even if I did, Katherine you know he would say no!" he snapped at me annoyed.
"So, if you love me like you claim to you would fight to be with me!" I said my voice fully with desperation.
"AND IF YOU LOVE ME LIKE YOU CLAIM YOU WOULD NOT HAVE BARED HIS CHILD!" he screamed my eyes widened and tears started to form. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.
"That is different Thomas" I said weakly.
"You know dam well it is not" he said getting off the bed and turning his back to me. Tears fell from my eyes as he walked over to look out the window.
"Thomas you know I had no choice" I said and he only let out a hallow laugh.
"Who are you trying to convince? Me or you? For we both know that it is naught but a lie" he said looking back over at me.
"And what does that mean?" I asked appalled.
"Katherine we both know that you still have feelings for the King, how can you not you have had his….children" he said slowly. "And if you did not want it then why, Mon Cher did you come back in the morning and in his robe no less. He laid with you when you were pregnant, but I never heard you put up a fight to have him not". His words were accusing and hurt like a red hot poker.
"Thomas…" I started but he stopped me.
"Do not try, just rest I will see you tomorrow" he left the room then and I bit my lip to stop for hysterical crying.
Queen Anne Boleyn
"My Lady, My Lady!" I heard and opened my eyes slowly.
"What is it Nan" I asked sitting up.
"The Duchess has had the child" I was suddenly awake and alert and sat up quickly.
"What is it? Who's is it?" I asked my eyes wild.
"It is His Majesties-"I quickly cut her off tears coming to my eyes "but it is a girl" she said with a musical laugh.
"This is good news then, he would never leave me for Katherine when it is but a girl!" I said smiling brightly.
"The King is sending her to Dover Castle with your Lady Isabella and Sir Thomas" I nodded my excitement reaching no bounds.
"Tell me what she has named the brat" I asked taking her hands.
"The King has named her Cordelia Tudor".
"Tudor? He does not think to make the brat a Princess" I said looking into Nan's eyes she shook her head.
"I do not know, she is being addressed as Lady Cordelia Tudor for now though I hear" Nan said comfortingly.
"That does not matter!" I said getting out of my bed.
"Go see if the King is still awake, if so send for him" she nodded and quickly left the room I sat down staring at my reflection. I was but 17 still young to bare him many children I do not see why he bothers with her so much. Because he loves her, always has always will a voice whispered in my head.
"Anne you asked for me" Henry said walking into the room dismissing my ladies.
"I hear Katherine has given you a girl, such a disappointment" I said walking towards him.
"What is it you want Anne" she said his voice dripping with annoyance.
"I hear that the child has been called Cordelia Tudor" I said acidly.
"So tis my child" he said arrogantly "I do not wish for her to have the name Boleyn when she looks so much like a Tudor".
"Henry you do remember she is a bastard and will be nothing more" I said looking into his eyes.
"Do not speak" he growled angrily.
"Henry, my love this is a blessing she has given you a daughter and though I am upset you are sending my brother and sister to live with her at Dover you must promise me something" I said sweetly.
"What is it?" he asked looking down into my eyes.
"Promise you shall have nothing to do with her again, she is my fathers wife Henry and your ex-wife and it hurts me greatly when I think of you wasting your time with her when I can already be pregnant with your son". The promise of a son caught Henry's attention.
"The last child you had, you lost it" he said his tone cold but I held myself together.
"It will not happen again Henry, but I shall never have a son if you forsake my bed for another's" he only looked down at me for a moment before his lips crashed down to meet mine. I hummed happily as he pushed me near the bed undressing me as quickly as he could.
Katherine Boleyn
"Mama my sister?" Mary asked sitting close by me, it was early morning and Mary had insisted on seeing me.
"Yes, my sweet this is your new sister" Isabella and Tom sat on my other side looking down at Rowena curiously.
"What her name?" Mary asked touching her tiny fingers as she slept in my arms.
"Cordelia" I said sweetly cooing down to the small, new life in my arms.
"Cordelia Boleyn like Bella and Tom?" she asked, Mary was always good at asking questions.
"No, Cordelia Tudor" I said carefully.
"Is she a Princess like me cause her last name is Tudor like mine?" This was hard to explain to a two year old, how do you tell them that her younger sister cannot be a Princess because she is a bastard.
"She is not a Princess, but do not think of it all you need know is that she is your sister" Mary nodded and Isabella reached out and tugged at my hair while Tom inspected the pattern on the blankets.
"Katherine we need to speak" Thomas said briskly.
Isabella and Tom squealed in delight upon seeing their father and quickly crawled over.
"Mon Cher" he said picking Isabella up as she clasped her arms around his neck, Tom jumped into Thomas's other arm and wrestled at best he could. I smiled at seeing the scene, Mary only kept looking down at her sister.
"Very well Thomas" I said as, once again, Cordelia was taken from me to fed from her nurse.
He placed Tom and Isabella in the nurse's arm and Mary was taken away by Lady Bryan.
"You wished to speak?" I asked when the room was finally empty all but us.
"Yes Isabella and Tom shall not be going to Dover with you" my heart shattered at his words.
"What?" I asked confused hoping with all my heart that I misunderstood him.
"Anne wishes to spend more time with her siblings so they will stay at Court for a couple months" tears welded in my eyes but I held them at bay.
"Then they shall come to Dover?" I asked looking away from him.
"I am not sure the Queen may send them to Hever"he said cryptically.
"Thomas please they are still my children" I said finally looking into his cold blue eyes.
"I know that Katherine" he snapped.
Silence inhabited that air for a while before my voice broke it.
"Please Thomas, please I can stand the Court's ridicule, I can stand the Queen's, but not yours" I said honestly pushing the tears away with my hand. "I never wished for any of this, believe me please" he looked away from me. I believe he could not face my tears.
"You will be leaving tomorrow, the doctor has said you made a fast recovery and shall be well enough for the ride to Kent which will take 3 days time". I knew I was making a fast recovery I already wished to be back on my feet but Henry has insisted that I rest and I could not tell him no, after all he was the King.
"And I take it George will not be visiting for a while either?" I said meeting his cold eyes with my own hurt blue.
"No he may not" I wanted to scream, I knew Anne was upset at me for having the King's child but to keep my own children away from me.
I looked away from him to upset to speak with him, he must have sensed that.
"Katherine" he said and I glanced up at him quickly before looking away.
I ignored him and he growled in annoyance.
"Dammit Katherine look at me" he snapped pulling me up by my shoulders. My eyes widened in fright and surprise as I gripped his shoulders as I was forced to sit up on my knees on the bed my head only reaching under his chin.
"You have not treated me like this since early in our marriage" I said quietly and his grip lightened.
"Things have changed" he said and my senses quirked when I smelt the aroma of lavender coming from Thomas's shirt. I never used lavender only rose.
"You smell of lavender" I said looking up into his eyes, which hardened looking away. I swallowed hard finally having to look away from him.
"It is none of your concern" he said quietly letting go of me but I quickly caught his jacket keeping him close.
"You slept with another women" I felt weak for a minute the truth seeping threw me like a cold water.
"I said it was none of your concern" tears started to well in my eyes and he pulled himself from me, my hand quickly caught the edge of the bed keeping me balanced.
"Yes it is!" I said tearfully.
"It is nothing different then what you have done to me" he said scornfully. I shook my head wanting all this to be a bad dream by long dark ebony curls hid my face from his view.
"No it is not!" I yelled "I laid with the King because he promised to leave us alone".
"Well, Katherine how is that working out so far?" he said hitting a vase and it smashed against the wall, I jumped "all you have to show for it is a bastard!".
I quickly sucked in air, I hated the way he said that.
"Do not call her that" I said weakly.
"That is what he is Katherine, she can not be legitimate when you and the King are no longer married" he said throwing his hands angrily in the air.
"I never purposefully slept with Henry, Thomas believe me" I said sitting back on my legs.
"I do not know what to believe anymore" he said his voice low.
"Believe me" I said tears shinning in my eyes.
"I have to go Katherine I will be back later" he said walking towards the door.
"Are you going to her" I spat acidly.
"As a matter of fact I am" he growled whipping around. His eyes softened as the tears fell from my eyes "no, Katherine I am not the King asked for my presence" I looked down unable to meet his gaze.
Suddenly I felt his arms wrap around me kissing my forehead "I am sorry" he whispered turning my face up with a finger under my chin and gently kissed me.
