Mary woke up, it's been five weeks since she had lost her virginity to Francis. She has had some problems sleeping since, her breasts are really tender and swollen, she has also had some headaches and she didn't feel like eating foods she had enjoyed before. And now she also felt nauseous? She turned to her other side trying to continue sleeping since it took her long last night to fall asleep. As soon as she had turned to her other side she felt like she was gonna throw up. Am I sick? She thought. She got up and called her servants to help her dress.
She chose to wear a red off shoulder dress, the top part of the dress was so tight against her swollen breasts that the servants had a hard time to lace up the dress. Mary took a look of herself on the mirror, she looked great, she didn't mind the way her breasts had swollen, even tho she didn't know why they had done that, but it looked great. She looked like a woman, not a girl.
She thanked the servants and walked to the dining room where the royal family was having their breakfast. Catherine and Henry didn't barely eat they were surrounded with all kind if paper works ect, Francis was enjoying his breakfast with his little brothers and his half-brother Bash. Mary walked to the only seat left, next to Francis
"Morning" she said as she sat down.
"Good morning" Francis said and turned to look at her, or more like stared. Mary could tell that she wasn't the only one noticing the change in her body, of course Francis would notice. "You look great" he whispered to her, and Mary just smiled back at him. The servants brought her a plate with chicken, bread and some vegetables.
"Mary!" little Charles smiled at her. He was always hapoy to see her
"Good morning Charles, did you sleep well?" she asked the little boy who just nodded his head before continuing eating. Mary turned to her food and suddenly she didn't feel hungry at all, she just rolled the bread around in her hands while others continued to eat
" are you okay Mary?" she heard Catherine asking, she had noticed that Mary didn't eat.
"Yes I'm not just really hungry, thank you" Mary answered. She could tell from Catherines face that she knew that everything wasn't alright.
"You should try to eat darling" Francis said kissing her cheek.
"I know I just.. Don't feel hungry right now" she tried ti give him an assuring smile.
After the breakfast and some meetings with some Lords, Mary decided to have a piknik with her ladies in the garden. They had the servants to place them a table and chairs with some light snacks and wine. The weather was amazing, the sun shined high, it was warm and there were no clouds on the sky. Birds were singing and they could hear some children giggling about 30meters away from them. They chattered about this and that, about Kennas crush on Francis' half-brother Bach and about suitors that Greers father had sent about Marys and Francis' upcoming wedding, what kind of gowns they should wear et cetera.
"Is that Catherine walking towards us?" Aylee asked quietly. The girls turned to the direction where Aylee looked and indeed the Queen of France was walking towards them. Marys ladies stood up and curtsied for the Queen.
"Mary, I would like to have a word with you if you would excuse your ladies for a moment" the elder Queen said
"Of course" Mary said and nodded to her ladies as they left them. Catherine took a seat in front of the Queen of Scots.
"Tell me, how have you been feeling lately?" Catherine asked Mary, she chuckled.
"What?" she asked.
"I'm serious, I saw the way you've been acting these couple last weeks, you don't eat and you act as if your uncomfortable all the time" the French Queen said dead serious.
"Well, I've been feeling a little off lately, I can't really fall asleep at night, I feel little nauseous sometimes, and food just.. I just don't feel hungry" Mary admitted. "I think I might be sick but I don't have fever" Catherine just stared at her for a moment.
"Tell me have you.. Slept with anyone lately" she asked lowering her voice. Mary stared at her in shock.
"no" she lied.
"don't lie child" Catherine could immediately tell she wasn't speaking the truth. "I won't blame you if you have just tell me" Mary took a deep breath.
"Yes, I did, with Francis some weeks ago "she admitted quietly "what does that have to do with anything?" she asked confused.
"oh my child I don't think you sick at all" Catherine said.
"What do you mean?" Mary chuckled.
"I think you might be pregnant" Catherine said. Mary laughed a little.
"No I can't, I'm not married jet" her smile disappeared.
"If you are pregnant, with Francis' child you can not tell anyone, not until the wedding, I will talk to Henry and try to push the wedding forward before you start to show" Catherine said.
"Why are you helping me? You hate me" Mary asked.
"I don't hate you Mary, I envy you to be honest, but I won't do anything bad to you, my son loves you too much I won't hurt him" the Queen of France said. Mary just nodded slightly.
"Is there someway we can make sure that I am indeed with a child?" she asked.
"Have you bled this month?" Catherine asked
"What does that have to do with this?" Mary asked confused.
"Ah of course you don't know this yet, if you are pregnant your monthly bleeding stops" Catherine told "so when was the last time you bled?"
Mary took a moment to think "like seven weeks ago"
"of darling I'm quite sure you are pregnant" Catherine said.
"oh.." Mary was quite shocked. "I.. I should probably tell Francis" she said quietly.
"Are you sure?" Catherine asked.
"I am it's his child after all" Mary answered.
"Fine tell him, but not anyone else, not even your ladies!" Catherine told her, she nodded taking a sip from her wine. Catherine snatched the goblet from her hand. "And no more wine for you, it's not good for the baby"
"oh of course" Mary said and stood up "I uh.. I must go excuse me" she said before she started to walk towards the castle.
