April 21st 1514
Greenwich Palace, England
Queen Nadine I POV
I am now four months along and I couldn't be happier as I feel it is sons. At least I hope it is as there is a lot of pressure as Isabella's (my) children were killed in the war with Portugal.
Ever since Isabella gave birth to Rachel, Violet, and Willow the pressure for George to have a son has doubled.
Oh, please God let me give England it's heirs. I do not want to lose my life as others have before me as I know More will do anything to get rid of me and replace me as Queen with another.
But I am assured by my lady-in-waiting Angeletta Brandon nee Swanson that I carry sons. But I know she has doubts of her own.
Angeletta has a few children herself. Charles, Daniel, and Paul who were born on November 10 1512 and Giselle, Diana, and Sarah September the twelfth 1513.
I know she and friends of hers slept with Charles Brandon a day before they were wed and that Angeletta's children may not be Samuel Brandon's children.
May 3rd 1514
Black Manor
Christine Black nee Valois POV
I am spending time with my two sons Andrew and William. I may not sleep with my husband, Theodore everyday but that is not my fault as he busies himself entertaining other women.
As I think what he might be doing he comes in, sends Andrew and William away, closes and locks the door and makes love to me.
Hopefully I will become pregnant after this and give Theo more sons. Mayhap a daughter as well.
Lord Theodore Black POV
After I make love to my dutiful wife, I go to my mistress and lay with her.
I never wanted to marry Christine but I did it as a favor for my friend. To cover up that he had slept with Christine and yet I know not who Andrew and William's true father is as I slept with Christine a night after Charles did.
Samuel and William Brandon are in the same predicament as I am. Although they have it harder since it's their brother/cousin that their wives slept with before they were married.
Samuel and Angeletta have Charles, Daniel, Paul, Giselle, Diana, and Sarah and Samuel knows not if he is the father to any of those two pregnancies as he has told me she is pregnant again. William's wife Lillian is also with child.
I do not know why they are content with their wives as their wives will just get lovers and they will end up divorcing anyway or I will do them a favor ad kill their wives and let people know there is doubt on the father of the children.
August 7th 1514
Greenwich Palace
Queen Nadine I POV
I am almost ready to deliver. Just one month away and I will be able to hold my children in my arms.
My ladies have taken to fussing over me as like with any pregnancy there's a possibility I might not make it. But I know I will as I am too stubborn to die.
Oh, please let Beauregard and Mary return to me with this pregnancy.
I want my babies back so much. My children are my heart and soul. When they were taken my heart was ripped out of my chest and my soul died.
As I sit and think of my children George comes in and kisses me with so much love that you couldn't tell Nadine had only known George for a few months.
I say Nadine because I am not her. I would rather be called Isabella but since I am in Nadine's body, I have to go by her name.
''What were you just thinking of my Queen?''
''How it feels that we have known each other forever even though we only met last year.''
''Hmm strange how love is don't you agree?''
''Oui mon amour.''
''I will leave you to rest as I know you need it.''
''As you wish lord husband.''
With that, George leaves the chambers so I can get some much-needed rest.
September 7th 1514
Queen's Chambers
Alice Cromwell nee de Flores POV
''Push my Queen push.'' I tell Queen Nadine as I see the babe's head crowning.
She screams as she pushes and the head slides out, then pushes again and the shoulders slides out, and then with a final push the babe is completely out. A prince for England.
But it's not over as I then see her scream and begin to push again.
It continues this way until she has five more children. Three boys and three girls.
''Send in my husband.''
I bow and go to do as requested.
King George I POV
I am pacing as I hear my wife scream all the while giving birth.
After a few hours of screaming she stops and I worry what that means until Alice Cromwell comes out.
''Her Majesty has given birth to three sons and three daughters Your Majesty.''
Hearing that, I rush into the room and see my wife with her blonde hair sticking to her face and neck.
''Your heirs my King.''
''Who is the eldest?''
''Our little ravenette.''
''He shall be named George, Prince of Wales and his brothers shall be named Arthur, Duke of Pembroke and Beauregard, Duke of York.''
''Our daughters shall be named Mary, Duchess of Cornwall, Elizabeth, Duchess of Dover, and Artemis, Duchess of Exeter.''
''Perfect names my Queen. I will leave you to rest for now and come to you after the potion has kicked in.''
''Yes, my love. I cannot wait.''
General POV
The bells were rung as the Queen has given birth to the Royal children.
''Hear ye, hear ye Queen Nadine the first has given to Crown Prince George, Prince of Wales, Princess Mary, Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Dover, Prince Arthur, Duke of Pembroke, Prince Beauregard, Duke of York, and Artemis, Duchess of Exeter.'' town criers announced all over Britain.
King George sent letters to the Kings of France, Germany, Scotland, Portugal, and Russia.
He sent Portugal the letter to taunt them as they only have one prince right now.
The Queen of Portugal died giving birth to Crown Prince Nathaniel of Portugal and he is set to marry Princess Megan Stuart of Scotland.
King George I POV
I walk into my wife's chambers and start kissing her neck which wakes her from her slumber.
I then free myself from my pants and make sweet love to my angelic wife making sure to be gentle with her. We make love five times before she is exhausted and I go to my chambers where my mistress is waiting and I break it off with her as Nadine has given me the heirs I need and I love Nadine (Isabella).
September 10th 1514
Cromwell Residence
Alice Cromwell nee de Flores POV
I scream as I push out my babies. I am having twins and I hope they are sons.
After I push the second twin and the afterbirth out, Thomas comes and gives me some wine.
I drink it and before I have any warning I'm choking as the wine was poisoned.
''Don't worry sister, we will take care of your sons.'' is the last thing I hear.
Thomas Cromwell POV
''Now we just let you assume her identity.''
''It won't be hard as I am a midwife as well.''
''Oh, right our sons shall be named Geoffrey and Angelus.''
''Perfect names. Now let us get married or should I say remarried.''
An hour later
Cromwell Chapel
I finished saying my vows as did Sarah and we are now happily wed.
We have a big party to celebrate the marriage. The Royal family sends us wedding gifts.
Later that night
We consummate the marriage and tell the children old enough to understand that their mother died from childbed fever and that she wanted me to remarry.
With Henry and Mary being smart for a five and four-year-old. (Henrietta slept with Thomas in March of 1508 and, months before they wed which was in September 1508) Henry and Mary are nine months apart. Henry was born on December 11th 1508 and Mary was born September 10th 1509. Catherine and Benjamin had been born a month before their mother's death.
Sarah comforted me after Henrietta's death and I fell madly in love with her. So much so that we were planning our secret wedding when I accidently married her sister Alice.
Well, now I am married to Sarah and the widow of Alice.
