February 2nd 1512

Suffolk Mansion

Marie Brandon nee Tudor POV

Oh, how it makes my blood boil that a Plantagenet is on the throne and not I. But I can't tell anyone who the babes' true father is. Not without losing both my life but the life of my babies.

But I have a plan. I will marry my children to the royal children and Tudor's will be on the throne again.

My brother God rest his soul should have married someone who would have given him true Tudor princes and princesses. I will avenge you Henry and make sure no Plantagenet will take the throne ever again.

Here comes Charles, the arranged marriage to keep mine and Henry's secret. He repulses me and I wish for him never to touch me. But there would be secrets revealed if he never touched me.

An hour earlier

Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk

I am entertaining friends and see three women, one with red hair, green eyes, pale skin, and kissable lips, the second had brown hair, blue eyes, tan skin, and pouty lips, and the third had black hair, brown eyes, pale skin, and plump lips.

Who would be good mistresses.

I am brother to the Queen and I can have whoever I want.

I show the women into my study and there I strip the first whose name is Angeletta Swanson and strip myself and take her maidenhead and make sweet love to her.

Then after she gets redressed, I tell her she will have a marriage with my cousin Samuel Brandon as he loved red-heads.

Now it was time for the ravenette, Christine Valois. I made rough love to her after breaking her maidenhead and told her she was to marry Theodore Black, heir to the lordship Black.

And then I made love to the brunette, Lillian Porter both sweet and rough and a marriage contract was made between her and my brother William Brandon. (after I knocked all three women up. But I didn't know that and I never would as the marriages were the next day).

March 3rd 1512

Marie Brandon POV

It's getting closer and closer to my due day. My children shall only know Charles as their father sadly. They will never know their true father as he has died three months ago.

Oh, I am in a loveless marriage and my brother is dead.

Lord help me through this time. I need it in this time and so do my babies'. I am taking it easy as I had a scare and almost lost the babies. The midwife says they might come early but I want to make it all the way to May.

As I'm thinking about Henry and how these babes should be on the throne instead of those bastards my brother legalized, I feel a rush of wetness between my legs. My water's just broken.

I call for the midwife, Alice Cromwell. (spying to see what Marie has)

Alice Cromwell nee de Flores POV

''Push milady push.'' I tell Marie Brandon as she screams from the pain of labor. She pushes out one babe after the other. ''Three daughters milady.'' I tell her.

''It was supposed to be sons.'' she says.

Charles Brandon comes in the room. ''We are young. There will be sons and many sons at that.'' he tells her.

I leave her alone with her brother's daughters so she can name the bastards.

Mary Brandon POV

I name the eldest Diana, then there is Elena, and the youngest is Elizabeth named after their grandmother. ''So. it shall be. Any sons we have I shall name. Never forget your place. You are to raise the girls to be ladies in waiting to the royal family, and I will raise the boys to be important figures in court.'' Charles said.

''They are to be on the throne not serve those pretenders.''

''Watch what you say woman. You are bordering on treason.'' After that I stay silent.

March 8th 1512

I am going to see a Belle witch for a particular potion. I want to have more children by my brother and they say Belle's can turn another man's sperm into the one of your choosing.

''I know why you came and what potion you want. I shall give it to you in exchange for something.''

''Whatever it is, I'll give it to you.''

''A night with your husband so I may conceive my own child.''

''You may make love with Charles.''

''Very well. Here is the potion. After I make love with your husband you will have to make love and conceive a child. The potion works for three days so use it wisely.''

Later that night

Aria Belle POV

I am welcomed in the Suffolk mansion and an hour later Charles is so drunk that he never realizes he is making love to me instead of his wife the former Princess of England. We Belle's have the ability to know when we conceive so after I am done making love to him, I sense life growing inside of me. I leave and never return after that night.

Marie Brandon POV

I force the potion down Charles throat and I wait the minute it needs to take effect. I then strip and make passionate love with Charles pretending it is Henry instead. We spend the three days making love so I can conceive a child not of his blood (she does conceive Henry's but also Charles' as they continued an hour after it stopped being Henry's sperm).

April 2nd 1512

Oh, I feel so nauseous but it is a good thing as it's a sign of pregnancy. And my red flower hasn't bloomed for a month so there is that and my appetite has grown again. Charles is excited. ''This time, it will be sons I feel it.''

''But what if it isn't?''

''Then we shall divorce and I will marry someone who shall give me sons.''

''What shall happen to the children if we divorce?''

''They will be known as bastards.''

''But Charles-''

''No, this is my will and you shall listen to me woman. You are my wife not my equal. As someone took your maidenhead before we married, those girls may not be mine.''

''That's not true. They are yours no one else's.''

''We shall see.''
