It had been 2 months since the wedding as William and Julia arrive home from their honeymoon from Paris. All Julia wanted to do was rest, when she got home, but tonight they would be having birthday party for William's uncle.

When they enter into the bedroom chambers, Julia asked her maid, Lily to help undo her corset. As Lily was undoing the corset, she noticed how pale Julia was, "I am sorry my lady for asking, but when was the last time you bled."

Julia laughed, "please, call me Julia, and I am not with child"

"Did you have your cycle in Paris?"

"Yes, plus, William and I decided to do the withdrawal method until were ready to have a child."

Lily looked at her confused, "uh, withdrawal method?"

"Oh" Julia said and whispered in her ear and it made Lily blush, "Lily don't be embarrassed. I what us to be up front with each other, deal?"

"Deal"

A couple of hours later, the party was underway as everyone was sitting watching a little play in the ballroom, when Julia felt like she was going to be sick, got up real quick, so did Lily and ran to the nearest toilet.

"How rude of her to just get up and leave during the king's birthday" said one female guest

"I agree, the lady can't hold her own meal" a male guest responded back with a laugh

William overheard and went over to them, "if you speak awful things of my wife, I shall ask you to leave"

The male guest scoffed at him, "only your uncle can tell us to leave"

"And why don't you, Richard" Tom said as he came up to them

"What, Tom, I am one of your oldest friends" said Richard

"Yes, but if your disrespect my nephew's wife again…then were no longer friends"

Richard scoffed, grabbed his wife's hand and left.

After Julia felt better, she reentered the ballroom, "my sincere apologies, I don't know what came over me"

Tom put his hand up, "no need, I am just glad you are feeling better."

"I am, thank you"

As Margaret approached her, and grazed her forehead, and whispered into her ear, "when was the last time you bled?"

Julia just shook her head, "dinner, just didn't agree with me"

"If you say so" Margaret said

They sat down again and enjoyed the rest of the play, had birthday cake and headed to the bed chambers.

It was the middle of the night, when William woke up and heard Julia throwing up in the chamber pot.

"My love, are you alright?" he asked and rushed to her side

Julia nodded, and began crying, "its not possible, we did the method right"

"Julia, are you with child?"

"I might be…but can you get the doctor…now?"

William nodded and went into the hallway, knocked on George's door and asked him to get the doctor.

Without hesitation, he put on his clothes, went outside, hopped on William's fastest horse and headed to the doctor's house.

Within 2 hours the doctor had come and gone, as William reentered into bed chambers and saw Julia crying, "my love…what's wrong? Are you sick?"

She shook her head, "I'm with child"

"Then why are you crying?"

Julia looked down, "I don't want the baby"

"What, why, this is great news…"

"Surprising news, but remember I said we weren't ready and I wanted to attend school"

"I guess, God had other plans for us and you can still attend school"

"Yes, he did and really…I can still…"

William nodded, "remember, I promised you, that you can still attend school…even if we have children"

Julia began crying happy tears as she hugged him so tightly, "oh, William…I love you"

"I love you, too"
