Ok…so I've been getting some mixed results about Bash wanting to wait….I know that to be truly married they have to consummate but….to me…I think that Bash would wait. He's not a royal; they don't have to have kids right away and he knows that Iseabail loves Jonathon.

So that's my reasoning….hope it's ok…..

And…..I feel REALLY bad about this chapter but it helps with future chapters….though I wouldn't wish this on ANY ONE!

I do NOT own Reign…..dang it!

OH! Happy Belated Birthday to Jaylyn Jennings! Sorry it's late!

Iseabail POV

"Bash! Iseabail!" shouted Francis as he barged into our room.

Bash sat up quickly with his dagger in his left hand, holding it in front of him.

I too held my dagger, having grabbed it from my pillow.

"What the hell, Francis?" yelled Bash as he moved to to sit in front of me; though I was still clothed, my nightgown/robe didn't leave much to the imagination. I blushed.

Francis quickly turned around to face the fireplace, "It's Elizabeth." He said.

I placed my dagger back under my pillow and ran to the changing wall, that was on my side.

"What happened?" asked Bash before I could.

"She awoke at first light, bleeding." said Francis.

"What?" Bash and I yelled together.

I quickly got dressed and came from behind the changing wall, "Is the baby alright?" I asked.

Francis looked down at the ground, "The midwife and physician are in with her now." Francis said. Then looking up at us, he whispered "But it doesn't look good."

I took a deep breath as I felt tears starting to form, I quickly looked to Bash; he too looked like he might cry.

"You need to change." I said placing my hand on his forearm.

Bash came back to himself, shook his head to clear it, nodded, and moved the change.

I looked to Francis, "We'll be there in minute." I said; knowing that Bash needed time to fully process what was happening.

Francis nodded and left.

I could hear Bash dressing quickly as I brushed my hair.

"We don't know what's happening." I said placing the brush back on my vanity.

Bash came from behind the changing wall still tucking in his shirt, "You heard what he said, she's bleeding!" he all but shouted.

I shot up and took his hand in mine, "We have to trust that the midwife and physician know what they are doing!" I said squeezing his hand.

Bash looked down at our joined hands, "She's my sister." He whispered.

I squeezed his hand harder, "Let's go find out what's going on." I stated.

Bash nodded and moved for the door; still holding my hand, he lead us to Elizabeth and Philip's rooms.

A small crowd was gathered outside the door, Francis was now holding Mary's hand. Greer and Lola too held hands. Catherine was sitting in a chair next to the wall, directly in the line of sight of Elizabeth's door. Kenna was holding Henry's hand, I noticed that he was rubbing her hand with his thumb. And poor Philip was passing up and down the hall.

"Any news?" asked Bash as we joined them.

"Not yet." said Mary shaking her head.

"What is taking so long?" asked Philip as he banged his head against the wall.

I let go of Bash's hand and walked up to my new friend, "Elizabeth is strong." I whispered as I rubbed his right arm.

"I know she is." Philip whispered back. "But what if she isn't strong enough?"

I looked him in the eye, "Then you have to be strong for her!" I said.

Philip closed his eyes and sighed, "She wants a baby so bad."

Before I could reply, the door opened and the physician stepped out.

Catherine shot out of her chair, "How is she?" she asked.

The physician started to wipe his hands on a cloth; I noticed they were full of blood.

"She is resting." said the physician.

"And the baby?" asked Henry.

The physician refused to meet the King's eyes. "I am truly sorry." he whispered.

Henry bite his lip and turned away, Catherine almost fell to the ground and would have if Francis hadn't helped her to the chair. Philip fell to the ground and wept.

I placed my hand his shoulder while my other one covered my mouth in shock.

Mary comforted Francis, wrapping him up in her arms.

Lola and Greer hugged each other and cried.

Bash walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind, leaning his head into my neck, breathing me in.

Philip finally stood up and wiped his eyes, "I need to see her." He said strongly.

The physician nodded and gestured him inside.

Philip walked to the door but turned back to face us, "Thank you for your support; but I think Elizabeth and I should be alone right now." He said looking around the hallway.

"Oh course." said Mary. "Come." She added as she tried to get every one moving.

Catherine stood up and went to hug Philip, "Tell her, we love her and that her mother will be back to see her soon."

Philip nodded and closed the door behind him.

I still stood with Bash's arms around me when Mary caught my eye, "Come; we should leave them be." She said.

Nodding, I stepped out of Bash's embrace but grabbed his hand, en-lacing our fingers I led him down the hall; following the group.

Henry and Kenna veered off together, Henry was holding Kenna's hand really tightly; people grieve in different ways.

Catherine went in search of Little Henry and Charles.

Francis remained with us and we went to the sunroom to sit by the windows.

Greer, Lola, and Mary sat on the couch while Francis, Bash and I went to the open windows, Bash quickly wrapped his arms around my waist from behind once more; he leaned against the windowsill as I leaned back into him.

"Why now?" asked Francis. "I mean the castle was taken over, she was stressed and even hide in a hole. So why now?"

"It can happen at any time." said Mary sadly.

"But why?" yelled Francis as he kicked the wall angrily.

"No one knows; all we do know, is that Elizabeth is alive and she is going to need us." I said strongly.

"Is is right, Elizabeth is going to heartbroken and blame herself, we need to be strong for her." said Mary.

Bash tightened his hold on me.

…

It took three days for Elizabeth to finally take visitors; Mary had tea and strawberries brought up to us.

"The tea is soothing and the strawberries are sweet." Mary explained.

"Weird combo though." said Elizabeth as she leaned against the head board.

"But it works!" said Greer, as she took a bite.

Elizabeth did a side smile but it quickly went away, leaning forward she took my head. "I am so sorry, Iseabail." She said.

I looked at her, "For what?" I asked.

"The day after your wedding I make it all about me." said Elizabeth sadly.

I placed my other hand on top hers, sandwiching her hand. "You did nothing wrong. I am just so sorry this happened to you!" I said squeezing tight.

Elizabeth started to cry once more, "I really wanted that baby!"

"I know." I whispered.

Elizabeth closed her eyes and sighed, "I need a distraction!" she said.

"Tell us about your wedding night!" said Kenna with a grin.

Greer, Lola, and Mary sat up straight and nodded.

"Yes! Tell!" said Greer.

"Ladies! That's my brother, you're asking about!" said Elizabeth, sort of with a laugh. But then she looked at me, "But yes, do tell!"

I blushed.

"OOhhhh! It must be good!" said Kenna laughing.

"Maybe I don't want to hear this after all." said Elizabeth.

"It's not like that!" I stated. Biting my lip, I looked around; "Can you keep a secret?" I asked.

All the girls went wide eyed and quickly nodded.

"He wants to wait." I said looking around at the girls.

"What do you mean, wait?" asked Lola.

"He wants to wait." I repeated.

"As in…..no sex?" asked Kenna stunned.

I nodded and blushed.

"But you're married!" said Greer.

"I know." I said.

"Why?" asked Mary.

"Because he loves her." stated Elizabeth.

I looked at her and blushed once more.

"What?" shouted Mary and the girls.

Elizabeth took my hand once more, "The way he looks at you gives it away." She stated.

I smiled.

"And he knows you love another." added Elizabeth.

I only nodded and turned away from her.

Elizabeth squeezed my hand and made me look back at her, "You have nothing to be sorry about, your whole life you were suppose to marry that other guy, of course you would fall in love with him." said Elizabeth.

"That's what Bash said." I said back.

Elizabeth smiled, "He's always been a smart one."

"He said he was going to get me to fall in love with him." I said.

Elizabeth's smile grew, "And knowing my brother….he will."

….

A week later Elizabeth and Philip decided to go back to Spain.

"I need to get away from here for a while." said Elizabeth as we walked her to the carriage.

King Henry and Queen Catherine had already said their goodbyes and were in the throne room holding court.

Francis and Bash were out hunting. Men!

"Are you sure you're alright to travel?" asked Lola, all of us had gotten really close and we were all concerned for Elizabeth's well-being.

Elizabeth nodded, "The midwife and physician both gave the go ahead. As long as I sit and rest as much as possible."

Once we were at the carriage, Mary and the girls all hugged her, I was last.

Elizabeth pulled me in close, "Take good care of them." She whispered.

"I will." I replied.

"And give my brother a chance. I know he can make you happy." she added.

I pulled back and smiled, "I think he can too."

Elizabeth kissed me on the cheek and climbed into the carriage.

Philip hugged Mary and nodded at the girls, once again I was last.

"You've got a good head on your shoulders." said Philip as he moved to hug me.

I smiled, "I could say the same thing about you."

Philip looked me in the eye, "You take care of yourself." He whispered.

I nodded, "You too. And take care of Elizabeth as well, I would hate to come to Spain and bet you." I stated.

Philip laughed, "You probably could. Maybe some day, we'll find out!"

"I look forward to that day." I said bowing to him.

Philip kissed my forehead and climbed into the carriage to sit beside his wife.

"Till next time!" he called out.

We all waved and watched the carriage leave.

"Iseabail!" called out my mother as she and Dad joined us, they too would be leaving shortly.

"I'm going to miss you!" I said hugging her tight.

Dad bowed to Mary and the girls as they quickly left so I could say bye to my parents in private.

Dad wrapped his arms around both me and Mom.

"My girls." he whispered and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you, Dad!" I whispered.

Dad squeezed us tighter, "And I you, my dear."

Mom stepped out of my embrace so that Dad could hug me tight.

"I love you, Mom." I said as tears fell.

Mom smiled at me and started to cry as well, "You were the most beautiful bride, thank you for letting us be there for you."

Dad kissed the top of my head once more.

My throat felt tight, I bite my lip to try and stop the tears.

"Do you have it?" asked Mom.

I looked at her as Dad let go of me.

"Yes, right here." He said and pulled a medium size out of his pocket. "Only open it when you're ready!" he said handing it to me.

I have him a questionable look, "How will I know when I'm ready?" I asked.

Dad looked at me and smiled, "You'll know."

Mom hugged me once more and Dad did as well, "You behave yourself." said Mom as Dad helped her into their carriage.

I smirked, "Don't I always?"

Mom rolled her eyes and sat down.

Dad squeezed my head, "Keep that husband of yours in line." He said.

I smiled, "I will, Dad."

He gave my hand one last squeeze, nodded, and climbed in next to Mom.

"I love you!" I said as the carriage started to move.

"And we love you!" shouted both Mom and Dad.

I waved till the carriage was out of sight and went to find Mary and the girls.

Though I decided to drop off my parents' gift to my rooms first, "Open it when you're ready." I repeated to myself. "What the hell does that mean?" I asked as I placed the box in a drawer. I was very curious to see what my parents had given me but Dad said to wait and knowing him, he meant it. "Guess I'll wait and see." I thought as I wandered down the hall to Mary's rooms.

"Lady Iseabail!" said a servant girl from behind me.

Turning I saw that she carried a tray with a red rose with a note on it.

"Lord Sebastian requested that I give this to you." bowed the servant girl.

"Thank you." I smiled as I took the rose and note.

The girl bowed once more and left.

I smiled and smelled the rose, "Goodness how I love roses." I thought.

I knocked on Mary's door and then entered.

"Your parents get off ok?" asked Mary turning to me.

I nodded and smelt the rose once more.

"What's that?" asked Greer.

"Bash sent it to me." I smiled.

"Really?" smiled Lola.

I nodded and opened the note.

"Saw this flower and thought instantly of you. Though it is beautiful, it does not compare to you. Love, Bash" I read.

Mary and the girls all sighed and gushed.

I have to admit, I had the biggest smile on my face.

"You know what he's doing right?" asked Greer.

I looked at her confused.

"Your husband…...is courting you!" smiled Greer.

Sorry it took so long to update….I had really hard time writing about Elizabeth's miscarriage….other then that…I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

So Bash has decided to Court his wife! What does he have up his sleeve to get her to fall in love with him? How long till she does?

What did her parents give her? Why does she have to wait to find out?

Let me know what you think! Review please?! They make me smile!
