Bête Manor
Anne Bête nee Boleyn
I am eight months with child now as I conceived February 10th 1514 and now, I am a month away from giving birth to my children as I feel it is twins again.
Though William wishes for a single birth as he does not want to lose me but I am strong enough to give birth to our children.
After all, if my sister the Queen of France and Queen Nadine of England can give birth to multiples I can. My sister had Alexander and Anthony and she might have another multiple pregnancy and she is fine.
As I think of my sister a messenger comes from my brother George from Spain as his future intended is a Spaniard Duke's daughter and he decided to learn his future wife's customs and she will learn ours.
Dear Anne,
It is beautiful in Spain and so much to do and I wish you could be here. Oh, and Verona says to tell you hello and she cannot wait to meet you once we marry once I turn fourteen and she twelve as we are two years apart of course. I cannot wait to meet my niece and nephew and spoil them rotten as I know I will. We will come to England with her family next year so that they may learn our customs as I have theirs and meet my family as I have met hers.
With love,
George Boleyn
I cannot wait to meet my brother's future in-laws as I know George usually would say if he hated someone. I know my brother and I know he really likes this Verona if he already learned her customs and met her family.
He would never go through that trouble if it was going to be a loveless marriage.
I see now how much George loves Verona and cannot wait until 1518 as he will be fourteen and his bride-be twelve as George's birthday is in April and his bride's is in February.
Dear George,
I am happy for you and your bride. But my question is why wait? If it is the expenses, I can pay for everything and you can be here shortly before I deliver either other nieces or other nephews and you will be able to meet your niece, Isabella and your nephew, Beaumont sooner. You need not worry as I am a sister to the deceased Queen of England, Isabella. I send with this letter enough money to help. Tell the family it is my gift to them as I want to meet my brother's future in-laws.
Your sister,
Anne Bête nee Boleyn
I send the letter with the messenger and within a week I get a response telling me that George will be coming early and that it was not money problems but that Verona's father fell ill and thanks to my aid as they learned who I was a healer quickly came to the Santos' aid and made a concoction which cured him.
They were coming and would be here within a day of me receiving this letter if not sooner.

Bête Manor
George Boleyn POV
I just arrived at the Bête manor and want to surprise my sister so I tell the servants to keep quiet and not tell Anne who arrived.
When I glimpse Anne, I see her by the window in the library and humming a lullaby.
I sneak up, cover her eyes, and whisper ''guess who.'' in her ear.
I see her begin to smile when she hears my voice as even though it has changed, she somehow knows it is me.
''George, brother it is so good to hear your voice after so many years apart.''
I take my hands away from her eyes and she sees the man I grew into.
''It is so good to see you after so many years. Now when can I meet the lucky woman that has caught your eye?''
''Sister I proudly present to you my bride-to-be Verona.'' I say while Verona comes within my sister's point of view.
Verona is a redhead, with grey oval shaped eyes, plump kissable lips, and pale skin.
''Oh, she is a beauty brother.''
''I thank you my future sister.''
''Kind as well and well mannered.''
''I try to be but some think I am too feisty and should stop reading books.''
''I would never discourage anyone from reading and you have probably heard from George that I am quite feisty myself.''
''I hope that we can become great friends and sisters if you wish.''
''Of course, we can be. I see myself in you and would love to get to know you better.''
With that, my love's fears are no more and Anne and Verona get along splendidly with Verona having brought presents for Beaumont, Isabella, and the future children as my sister thinks it is twins again and she was right the first time.
We decide to stay here until after Anne delivers the babes and then go to Boleyn Manor to show Verona where we will be living when not at court and then go to court a month later.

Birthing Chambers
Midwife POV
''Push Your grace push.'' I tell Duchess Anne as I see the babe begin to crown.
She pushes and pushes until not only one babe is born but three.
''A son and two daughters Your grace.'' I tell her.
''Send in my husband.'' Anne says as she begins to nurse one of the wee lasses.
''Yes, your grace.'' and with that, I walk out of the birthing chambers and into the hallway where Duke William is waiting on news of his wife.
''Your Grace, Her Grace has delivered two daughters and a son.''
''She is fine though right?''
''Aye, Her Grace is healthy and just needs rest.''
''Thank you, Lord.'' he says and I have the feeling that he has been praying for his wife.
Before I can say anything else to Duke William, he is gone into the chambers to be with Anne.
William Bête, Duke of Buckingham POV
I go into my wife's birthing chambers only to see the amazing sight of her breastfeeding one of our children.
''Come meet our children.'' she says and I oblige.
''The one I am feeding right now is the daughter that was born before the other daughter.''
''Our son's name shall be George.''
''And our daughters shall be named Elizabeth and Verona.''
''Perfect names my love.'' I say before leaving her to get some rest.
I tell George the names of my son and daughters and he has tears glistening in his eyes. I know it is happy tears and loves that we not only honored him and their mother but his future wife as well.
He tells Verona which makes her and her family happy as well as they now know that there will be members of the family that does not care for the wealth but for them.
George of course, does not care for the wealth but they know Thomas does and all he sees is the wealth and power he has in France, England and soon in Spain but since they know George really cares for Verona, they allow the marriage to happen and give their blessings.
