Greenwich Palace, England
King George I POV
Oh, how I love seeing Isabella at work even if she is in another body. I am ecstatic to learn I am to be a father again.
Hopefully it will be sons this time even though I love my daughters, I need an heir to the throne.
And females only become Queen through marriage not through succession.
I need an heir and a spare in the least. My sons shall be named Richard and Gabriel, one a messenger and the other our lionheart.
I see a wedded lady in waiting of my wife and take her as my mistress. Her name is Heather Potter nee Williams.
I summon her to my study which is connected to my chambers. As soon as she comes in and the doors close, I kiss her passionately guiding her to my chambers, all the while stripping her of her clothing.
I throw her on the bed and enter her quickly then make passionate love to her seven times. I dismiss her after I'm done, letting her dress before she leaves then wait for my Queen to enter and make sweet and passionate love to Nadine (Isabella) until I make sure she can't walk straight.
Queen Nadine (Isabella) I POV
Oh, how passionate that was. I will make sure he will never have to take a lover (doesn't know about Heather and George being together).
I'm not a Bête witch for nothing. With a snap of my fingers I can make George regret being born male. I will also make any lover he has miserable and exiled from the court.
Any lady of mine caught with my husband shall be known as a tramp who slept with a married man and the King at that.
Oh, my King of my heart why are your eyes wondering so? Am I not enough to please you anymore? Am I so ugly in your eyes that you need to go to someone else's bed?
What can I do to make you love me again and for your eyes not to wonder? Please God let me be carrying a son or sons as that is probably why his eye has wandered.
I have come back from the darkness ever since Henry died and I am back to the light.
Anna Seymour nee Bête POV
I am seven months along now and could not be happier as I sense I will have sons again. I hope the Queen shall give George sons so he does not replace her.
My sister, Isabella would have been under so much pressure to give birth to sons if she was still alive. And I feel now that the pressure is on Nadine, that she might snap.
I feel bad for the current Queen as not only has she has to hope she is to deliver sons but her husband has a mistress and he quiets everyone so she will never find out.
April 1st 1514
Seymour Bête Mansion
Oh, I curse Gideon once again as he thought that I was in such a fragile state that he sent me to our mansion to give birth.
Oh, he is so lucky he isn't here right now. Otherwise I would use him as a target practice.
I suddenly feel so tired so I go to my room to take a nap.
Later that night
I wake to find wetness between my legs. My water's broke.
I call in the maids and tell them to get the midwife.
Alice Cromwell nee de Flores comes in and measures how far along I am.
''I can feel the babe's head so as soon as a contraction hits, I need you to push my lady.''
Alice, being three months with child as Cromwell did not want to lay with her again until three months ago when Cromwell was wasted and slept with Alice, therefor impregnating her.
I push and push until I feel not one but two babes exiting my body and then the afterbirth.
''Two sons' milady.'' she tells me before I ask as I was about to.
''Bring my husband in.''
Gideon had arrived an hour ago and when he heard I was in labor, made sure to tell the midwife and nurses to make sure not only our sons but I survive as well.
Gideon Seymour POV
I barge in there after they tell me it is safe to come in.
I look at my wife with her black hair matted and stuck to her, her sapphire blue eyes shining with love and her tempting kissable lips.
''May I introduce you to your sons my love.''
''Their names shall be Hadrian and Leonidas.''
''Perfect names for the both of them my love.''
''I will give you time for the healing potion to kick in, then I shall lay with you afterwards.''
''As you say my love.''
April 3rd 1514
Cromwell Manor
Thomas Cromwell POV
I never wanted to lay with Alice again as I am petitioning Henry, Mary, Catherine, and Benjamin's legitimization. For them to be my legitimate heirs again and so I can marry someone of my choosing.
I may have chosen Alice in the heat of the moment, but I have someone else in mind now and it isn't Alice.
She does not give me the passion I need. My lover gives me the passion my wife gives me nothing but children.
I regret marrying Alice and not my lover, Alice's twin sister, Sarah.
I thought Alice was Sarah at first that day and that I was marrying Sarah de Flores not Alice.
Alice and Sarah both have red hair, but Sarah has emerald green eyes while Alice has grass green eyes. Other than that, they look exactly the same.
How I curse myself for not seeing the difference in time until after the marriage was consummated.
Mayhap I can slip poison in her cup after she delivers these babes and have it look like it was Sarah that died and that Alice wants to remarry afterwards.
Mayhap. But I will have to get some Belladonna to slip in her drink.
