October 8th, 1535

Catalina screamed in agony and I squeezed my eyes shut hating to see her in this kind of pain "mama make it stop!" Catalina has never actually experienced this kind of pain expect for when Lord Ormond had forced himself upon her.

"Just think of the baby sweetheart" I whispered and she squeezed my hand arching in pain. "Breath mi amor" I whispered. 5 hours had passed and it was now late at night.

"Tis time to push" the midwife said and I propped Catalina up on the pillows.

"No mama please do not make me" she begged and I kissed her forehead caressing her cheek.

"You do not have a choice Catalina! Do you want this baby to be born dead?" Her eyes went wide and she let out a string of sobs shaking her head "than you need to push so you can meet your baby" she closed her eyes and when the midwife said so she pushed screaming in pain. "That was so good mi amor!" She continued to push for at least an hour more before a baby was born. She fell against me sobbing in pain and I kissed the top of her head holding her tightly. "I am so proud of you sweetheart" I said with tears slipping down my cheeks. I knew she was having flashbacks and held her as tightly as I could.

"Mama what is it?" She asked finally looking up at me and I kissed her once more before getting up and walking over towards the midwife.

"Your Grace" she said uncertainly. She knew the child was born from rape and did not know how Catalina was going to react towards the babe.

"What has she bore?" I asked softly praying to God it was a girl. Everything would be so simple and easier if it were a girl.

"A boy" my heart sunk as I took the child into my arms.

"Sweetheart" I said after the maids finished cleaning her and put her in a fresh chemise. "You have had a boy" for a moment she did not speak and slowly she held her arms out and I placed the small infant in them.

"He is pretty" she said softly and I smiled looking down on the boy. He had his mothers hair and was pale like her but I have yet to see his eyes.

"Would you like me to tell everyone else?" I asked her and she nodded not looking up from the boy. I walked out of the room casting a glance towards her before shutting the door.

"Is she alright?" Thomas asked quickly and I nodded.

"Yes she seems perfectly fine" it was only Thomas and Lord Oxford. "She has birthed a healthy boy" I saw Lord Oxford's face fall dramatically and Thomas let out a breath.

"You can see her now if you wish" I walked back into the room and Thomas followed close behind while Lord Oxford seemed to walk a lot slower as if not wanting to see the child at all.

"Papa come look at him" Catalina said with a large smile on her face "he is perfect" she said swaying him a bit looking up towards her father as he stared down at the infant. I knew she was looking for his approval "papa?" She asked her face creasing with worry.

"He is very handsome ma petite" she smiled and looked down on him, his eyes opened as he yawned to reveal a deep brown. Her smile slipped from her face as she looked into his eyes as I took a step closer in case she rejected him.

Catalina Cromwell, Countess of Oxford

He opened his eyes and it felt like the world stopped. It was HIS eyes staring back at me and in an instant I wanted to throw him from me angrily and scream and cry. But instead I stared down and found a sweet innocence in his eyes that he had never had. This was my son and he would never be like that mean man. He would be kind and considerate. He would be gentle and loving. Everything he was not.

I looked up to see the worried eyes of mama and papa and I shifted my son in my arms finding Lord Oxford by the door. I knew his father had been whispering in his ear for sometime about what he should do if I have a boy and now I finally felt the fear of what might happen. "Lord Oxford" I said nervously as he stepped into the room.

"Are you still planning on naming him Henry?" He asked and I nodded looking down on my son.

"Yes, we will call him Harry for short" he nodded and left the room. "I wanted to name him after you papa but there is you and Tom and when Tom has a boy he will probably name him Thomas and that is too many Tom's and it will be confusing. The King has been very nice especially after what happened with...well you know and I thought it would be a nice thing to do" I said worrying that my papa would be angry.

"It is alright sweetheart" he kissed the top of my head and I had to give Harry up to be fed by a nurse.

"Sleep mi amor you need it" I snuggled into my pillows and they kissed me goodnight before I fell asleep.

Gregory Cromwell, Earl of Oxford

October 9th, 1535

I paced back and forth in my office trying to think clearly. I knew Catalina wished to keep the boy but every fiber of my being wanted to send the child back to Hever Castle with his grandparents. I had been praying and hoping it would be a girl. "Son" my father said arriving early in the afternoon. I had sent him a letter last night when Catalina had gone into labor.

"She has had a boy. She named him Henry after the King" he shook his head closing the door behind him.

"The best thing that can happen now is if you have Lord Wiltshire take him back with them to Hever Castle. Tis a bastard and will only remind her of what happened that night. It will be best for her so she can get over what happened quicker and move on to give you healthy sons" I scratched my head swallowing hard.

"Do you think it will help her?" I asked looking out the window as it rained.

"Yes son, that child is a reminder of what happened that night" I nodded closing my eyes tightly.

Thomas Boleyn, Prince of Spain, Duke of Wiltshire

"What do you think Cromwell is doing here?" Katherine asked softly as Catalina slept with Harry laying next to her.

"I do not know" I admitted when a servant came to me saying Lord Oxford needed to speak with me. Cromwell left his office as I entered and I had a bad feeling "you needed to speak with me?" I asked in a mono-tone.

"Yes...I believe it would be best if you and Lady Wiltshire took the child away once you leave for Hever Castle" I knew in the back of my mind that this might happen. I knew it the moment Katherine said Catalina had birthed a boy.

"You believe it would be best?" I questioned knowing fully well that this was Cromwell's idea.

"Yes, it would do her no good seeing him everyday and being reminded of what happened. She will be able to move on quicker and still have access to the child" I knew this was a horrible idea and would break Catalina's heart.

"I honestly believe it would do more harm then good" I stated and he looked away.

"Will you take the child or not? I can always find someone else" he asked shaking his head.

"Yes...but I am telling you that it would hurt her more than you know" he looked down at his hands for a long time before back to me.

"When are you and Her Grace leaving?" He asked.

"In 2 days" he nodded.

"Everything will be ready by than. I will tell Catalina before then" the maid told me Katherine had returned to our chambers and I walked back slowly thinking this all over.

"What did Lord Oxford ask?" She said helping back away a few things getting ready for when we had to leave.

"He wants us to take Harry with us" she stopped what she was doing and looked at me in shock.

"That would break her heart" she said in disbelief "Thomas I cannot do this to her" she whimpered and I took a deep breath.

"He is under the assumption that it would help her by sending him away he says it would hurt by having to see him everyday and be reminded of what happened" Katherine shook her head.

"This is his father's doing. My poor sweet girl this is going to hurt her so much" she whimpered and I hugged her tightly kissing her cheek. "He said he will tell her before we leave you cannot say anything until than"

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

October 11th, 1535

I could not look at him for the entire two days we were here and now I held my screaming daughter as she begged him not to send Harry away "PLEASE! PLEASE LET HIM STAY!" She screamed as he walked out of the room. "Mama please! Make him change his mind! Do not take my little boy from me! He is the only good thing that happened to me!" She was hysterical in tears and I kept my eyes closed rocking her in my arms.

"We shall take him to Hever Castle with us but write the King mi amor and tell him what is happening. I am sure he will help you" she shook her head.

"Mama you do it!" She cried.

"No, no, sweetheart he is your son you need to do this" I held both her cheeks and kissed her lovingly.

"Do you think he will bring Harry back?" She whimpered.

"I am not sure but I know he will do everything in his power to help you" she trembled and hugged around my neck.

"Please take care of him mama" I nodded and she had Harry brought to her. "Do not worry Harry you will be back in my arms in no time" she promised and started to cry again as she handed him to me. Thomas had to drag me away and into the carriage for it hurt too much taking him from her.

Catalina Cromwell, Countess of Oxford

October 14th, 1535

I missed my son so badly I could not think of anything else. I was allowed out of bed now but I kept my door locked so he could not enter. I hated him more than anything else in this world and wanted nothing to do with him. "Catalina please open the door" he said for the fifth time today I did not even respond to him. "It was for the best in time you will see that" I threw a large vase at the door and continued to tare apart the room in anger and sadness. Tears profusely slipped down my cheeks as I lay on the ground refusing any type of food or drink.

"Please Lady Oxford you need to eat" I have not eaten since they took my son from me and now all the ladies were worried.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed throwing the tray they set near me away splattering the contents on the ground.

Gregory Cromwell, Earl of Oxford

"She still refuses to eat" the maid said and I shook my head.

"Bring her everything she likes" I ordered and still everything put in front of her was either ignored or thrown. It has been 3 days and she has not touched any drink or food.

The maids say she looks sickly but she will not allow a doctor inside the room. "My Lord maybe it is best you bring her son back?" One of the maids said and I sent her away with a yell. Finally I could not take it anymore and stormed down the halls to her room. I had 2 of the guards break down the door and she screamed trying to run into the dressing chamber when I caught her. She was too weak to put up any kind of fight.

"Let me go!" She cried as I brought her over to the table and grabbed piece of chicken and shoved it against her lips but she bit them closed.

"Eat!" I ordered and she turned her head away squirming in my arms. I grabbed her jaw and squeezed forcing her mouth open and closed her mouth after throwing a piece of chicken in her mouth. She spit it back into my face and anger took "EAT YOU STUPID GIRL!" I yelled and she slapped me across the face and ran away down the hall and locked herself in the nursery.

I looked around the room to see it was completely destroyed "My Lord do you want us to clean up?" The maid asked nervously.

"Yes!" I snapped and left down the hall and beat against the nursery door.

"Open this door Catalina" I ordered but got no responds.

"Just leave me alone…send me back to Hever Castle!" She sobbed after I hit the door again.

"You are not leaving this house!" I yelled impatiently.

"Then bring my son back!" She cried.

"No I will not! Break the door down" I ordered the guards and they hesitated before doing as ordered.

"Bring him back or I will kill myself" she whimpered and I found her in the nursery with a knife to her wrist. Anger quickly dissipated and worry set in.

"Put the knife down" I said walking slowly towards her.

"NO! Stay away!" She pressed it down against the thin skin and I stayed in my spot "now bring him back!" She cried.

"Catalina he is not mine and he is a bastard! He is better off with your parents! He will be nothing but a reminder of what happened that night. I am trying to help you now please put the knife down!" I ordered as she took another step back.

"He was the only good thing that happened and you took him away…I have nothing left but nightmares" she sobbed "I am not as strong as my mama was I just had something to live for and you took it away" I swallowed hard slowing walking forward.

"What do you mean your not as strong as your mother?" I asked trying to distract her as I slowly inched forward.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed, she pulled the knife across and stared down at her wrist in fascination. I quickly jumped forward and squeezed her wrist with the knife in it forcing her to drop it and quickly grabbed linen off the table and pressed it to her wrist.

"Get the doctor!" I ordered as the linen quickly became soaked red. "Keep your eyes open!" I ordered as she tried closing her eyes "God dammit! I will bring him back, I swear to you Catalina I shall bring him back just keep your eyes open" I said as the doctor came. He pulled the linen away and tightly wrapped fresh linen around to stop the bleeding. "Catalina?" I asked shaking her as I found her eyes closed.

"She is still alive Lord Oxford she has just passed out" I nodded and lifted her up and brought her back to the bed where he continued to look at her.

"Send a messenger to Lord Wiltshire and tell him what happened" I told a young servant boy. I knew the Wiltshire's were going to want to kill me especially Lady Wiltshire who was very protective of her daughter. I could not help but remember what Catalina said, she was not strong like her mother was she just has something to live for.

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

October 15th, 1535

"Do not cry Harry you will see your mama again very shortly" I told my grandson as he whined in his cradle. Michelle and Annette where completely in love with everything he did whilst Rose felt bad that Harry was here and not with his mother. I guess his name shall be Henry Boleyn for Lord Oxford did not wish to claim him as his own, Thomas had no problem letting her give the boy our name.

"Lady Wiltshire?" A servant said and I nodded.

"Yes?" I questioned.

"A messenger from Wolf Hall is here for you and Lord Wiltshire they say it is very urgent" I nodded and looked to Rose.

"Watch your sisters and make sure they do not try to pick him up" she nodded and Annette and Michelle whined as I left. "Thomas a messenger from Wolf Hall is here" I said opening the door to his office and he nodded allowing them in.

"Your Graces" the boy said nervously, "Lord Oxford has sent me to tell you that the Lady Oxford has tried to take her own life the other day" I felt a sickness in my belly and looked to Thomas.

"How?" He demanded anger written all over his features.

"She opened her wrist. The doctor has contained the bleeding and believes she will live but she has refused to eat or drink anything until she sees her son again" I nodded and looked to Thomas.

"We have to go" I said and he stood up and ordered the servants to back our belongings and that of Harry's the girls would not be going with us and they were very upset when told so. We did not tell them anything that was happening with Catalina for it would only frighten them

October 16th, 1535

We arrived early in the morning and I carried little Harry straight to his mother "look Harry I told you, you would see mama soon again" I placed him into his mothers arms and winced when I saw the cloth wrapped around my daughters wrist strained brown from dried blood.

"Harry" she whimpered kissing his face.

"Have something brought for her to eat and drink" I ordered and they were quick to do so. "Eat Catalina, Harry shall be in the crib right next to your bed" she shook her head not wanting to let him go. "Do not test my patience! Do you not understand the fright you gave your father and I! Now put him down and eat at once!" I snapped and she cowered and quickly did as I told. After she ate she fell asleep and I pet her cheek just watching her.

"Is she alright?" Thomas asked walking inside, he had been talking to Lord Oxford whom I have yet to see and frankly did not want to.

"She is okay from what I see so far" I whispered kissing the top of her head.

"Lord Oxford has agreed that it is best Harry live with his mother" I looked towards my grandson who woke up and started to whine.

In an instant Catalina was awake as well "mama hand him to me" she begged and I lifted him up and placed him in his mothers arms.

"Never ever do anything like that again do you understand me?" Thomas said in a severe but caring voice and she nodded.

"Yes papa" Harry wiggled just a tiny bit and she kissed his face smiling happily.

Isabella Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire

I wanted to slap Lord Oxford for what he put my little sister through! When mama wrote me and told me she had opened her wrist I worried so much for her. So much was happening to this family lately! Mr. Clancey was doing better enough that Cordelia went back to Blinking Hall with Alice to spend sometime with him and help him along in his recovery.

"Ma" Sofia whined trying to get my attention.

"Sweetheart" I sighed lifting her up she giggled pulling my hair "no, no Sofia" I sighed pulling her hand out of my hair. Lord Devonshire walked in with Peter who had been with him in his office.

"Pa!" Sofia said sweetly pointing to her father and smiled widely seeing him he took both of them in his arms and they giggled hugging him tightly.

"My Lord…I am with child" I said and he looked towards me with a smile.

"How far along?" He asked smiling.

"A month, I am due late in June" he pressed his lips to mine and the twins giggled.

"Do you want to be a big brother and sister" he asked and they shook their heads with large grins.

"I doubt they understand what that means" I said kissing my sons cheek and she smiled grabbing my face and kissing me. "It seems like everyone is to have a child these days" I sighed and he looked at me questionably. "My brother just sent me a letter saying wife Lady Elizabeth is 3 months along" he shook his head with a laugh.

"Did they not know till now?" He asked and I knew it sounded ridiculous as well.

"I am not sure. They probably knew for a bit and just waited to tell everyone" Peter reached for me as Sofia pet her fathers cheek and kissed him with a bright smile.

"Do your parents know?" He asked.

"I am not sure" I sighed swaying Peter on my hip and he laughed "mama just hopes there is one baby in her belly this time because having another set of twins seems quite impossible to deal with" he smiled clapping his hands looking towards his sister who was playing with Lord Devonshire's face.

"I believe it is nap time?" He stated and I agreed and we sent them with their nurse to be put down for a little bit.

George Boleyn, Duke of Rochford

Jane jumped around the room happily playing with Princess Charlotte and Prince Harri as Renee watched closely so much is going on in the family as of late. I know Cordelia was due to have her child this month and Catalina was soon after her. Not to mention Elizabeth has just announced that she was pregnant and I am sure England breathed a sigh of relief fearing she was infertile.

"Papa when can I see Nana again?" Jane asked curiously and I smiled down on her as she pulled me from my thoughts.

"You are leaving for England next month and will return to France in April" I knew she loved going to see my parents but always missed us so much.

"Are you going to bring me?" She asked curiously.

"Oh no you are going to go with a nurse" she whined softly and Charlotte grabbed her dress holding herself up.

"Oh Lottie do not eat me!" Jane sighed hugging her little cousin tightly.

"Ba!" Harri cried holding a toy up and I kissed his cheek. King Henri has been busy with his new Queen touring France and such so most of the time the children were left with us.

"But I will miss you and mama…it is not fair why can you not live in England?" She whined angrily and I kissed her cheek.

"Because our home is here" I sighed and she crossed her arms grumpily. "Behave Jane or you will not go to England at all" she made a small noise running to Renee.

"Mama are you and papa going to at least come to England to get me?" She begged and Renee looked to me.

"Your father is but I have to stay here and help with Lottie and Harri" she whimpered looking over to her little cousins and I lifted her up.

"Now do not be jealous Jane there is a lot they cannot do like go and see Nana and Pa" she hugged around my neck tightly.

"I will tell them all about them so they will feel like they know them" she proclaimed and I kissed her cheek placing her down.

"Renee" I said and she looked up from the children, "I am hunting with some of the other noblemen today I shall be back later" she kissed my cheek and I left after Jane hugged my legs.

Elizabeth, Princess of Spain

Everyone in Spain was exceptionally kind to me now. I was 6 months along and was growing quite impatient with my child! I wanted to meet it now but had to wait 3 more months to see my baby's beautiful face. "Princess, His Highness sent me to tell you that you that you both shall be dining alone since his father has matters of the Kingdom to attend to" the servant said and I nodded dismissing her. Later that evening supper was placed and he sat across from me quietly eating.

"How is the child today?" He asked not looking up from his plate.

"Very well, if kicks often" he finally glanced up towards my belly.

"There is talk that we shall visit England, not anytime soon I believe a little while after you give birth" excitement rushed through my veins. I could see my family again!

"What is the reason for a meeting?" I asked trying to contain my joy.

"A war with France" my smile instantly fell as I thought of my niece and nephew and also George and his family who all lived in France.

"Why would there be a war with France?" I questioned and he sighed letting his fork fall onto his plate.

"Because they have been getting a bit too sure of themselves and are starting to slowly inch towards our boarders and we both know your father the King of England has not liked King Henri since he married so quickly after the late Queen Marie's death" I winced and an ache formed. I missed my sister so much.

"I hope George has sense enough to leave France whilst a war is going on" I whispered sipping my wine.

"Hopefully he does or he shall become the enemy as well" I swallowed hard and knew I had to write him but I was sure he probably knew what was going to happen. I just prayed he was smart enough to go home to England for come to Spain for a while till all this is over.
