February 11th 1515
Somerset Manor
Edward Seymour POV
Today is the day that I wed my love Mary Boleyn and hopefully we will have at least two to three children together.
I want to see my Mary's blonde hair on our son or sons with my brown eyes and her kissable lips.
Just thinking of our children together gets me excited and I cannot wait until we wed as I picture having beautiful babes with her. And they will know both their parents love them as Elizabeth does not know if her father loved her or hated her.
I will make sure to let Elizabeth, Alexander, Anthony, George, James, and Draconis know I love them as if they were my flesh and blood.
When I see my brother, Henry at the door I know it is time to stand at the alter to await my beautiful bride's entrance.
I walk down the hallways until I get to the gardens as we decided to have our wedding there and I stand there awaiting the bride.
Mary Boleyn POV
Anne is with me calming my nerves as I wonder if he will only love our children and having second thoughts but Anne always knows what to say.
''Mary, he loves your children. I have seen it in his eyes. He wishes for your happiness so much so that he went through the trouble of meeting your children. I see he wishes to have been their father as he has always loved you and if you do end up having a child, he is considering Elizabeth's feelings as he reassured her that she would always be loved by the both of you. Not many men can say that they want anything to do with their wife's children by another marriage.''
I know Anne and she would not defend Edward if he was not a good guy and that he definitely loves my children but it has been three years since I married the first time.
With a deep breath, I go to the gardens and marry Edward Seymour becoming Mary Seymour nee Boleyn.
Later that night
I consummate the marriage with Edward this night seven times.
I have loved Edward Seymour since I was nine but I knew father was looking at marriages that would bring us wealth and power and while the Seymour's were wealthy, they had not been Dukes until Edward was granted Dukedom in 1514 after he helped the Royal family defeat Portugal in the war as Edward was one of the best soldiers.
If only father had allowed me to marry Edward three years ago, I would not have gone through all of Francois' manipulations.
We had no hope of being together until now. How I wish I had wed Edward instead of Francois that fateful day.

Bête Manor
Anne Bête nee Boleyn POV
I am with the physician as I have not been feeling well and he calls in his wife who is a midwife.
''Well you are not sick my grace. You are with child.''
After hearing that, I put my hand on my stomach and then realize I have to tell William.
But right now, he is in Spain so I write a letter.
Dear husband,
I would usually tell you in person but since you have to stay in Spain until April, I am pregnant my love. Two months along and I couldn't be happier as the babe is a sign of our love and I hope you know that I love you. Even though our marriage started out as an arranged one, it became one of love and happiness. I don't regret marrying you as you are the love of my life.
Your loving wife,
Anne Bête nee Boleyn
I send the letter with a messenger to Spain and I hope that he will be happy as he worries about me dying from the next pregnancy. I tried to tell him that I will be alright but it is like talking to a brick wall.
I hope that he will always love me and never take a mistress as I do not think I could take it.

Boleyn Manor
Odette Boleyn POV
I go to the midwife as I have missed my monthlies and I want to make sure I am pregnant as I believe I am.
''You are indeed pregnant my lady.''
With that, I leave the midwife to go tell my love, Thomas the good news.
''My love I have wonderful news. I'm pregnant my love.''
''You are pregnant? I knew I should not have slept with you that day in November.''
''My love this is good news. It means I am not infertile.''
''I told the midwife to tell you that you were infertile. The midwife said if you give birth again you may die.''
I comfort Thomas and tell him I am strong enough to survive the birth.
I look at our children and know I can survive. I consider Thomas' children from his other marriages mine as well even if they are not mine by blood.
March 1st 1515
Greenwich Palace
Queen Nadine I POV
I am six months with child and cannot be happier as I know these children will be our children who were killed before they had a chance to live.
I look up to see Bessie Blount who has a curious craving from what I can see as she looks at one of my ladies-in-waiting with a hunger that cannot be described.
I do not worry as I think after she satisfies her hunger my lady-in-waiting will come back and do her duties as always.
I look at my swollen stomach thinking of what my children will look like. Will they look the same or will they look different?
An hour later
Bessie Blount (Phillipa Bête) POV
I look at Margery Seymour and with my magical eyes, see her life force and it is so tempting.
So, I lure Margery with a trick of mine to my room.
''Hey Margery I need a little help.''
''Sure Bess.''
With that, I take her to my room where I tell her I think I may be pregnant all the while putting life potion in her drink while she looks at something.
As soon as she drinks her wine, I know her life force will appear and it does. I put a silencing spell on her so she will not be able to be heard.
I stalk up to her and suck her life right out of her and then she is nothing more than a dead body.
I spell her so she will look her age and put poison in both of our cups and I scream as loud as I can.
When the guards arrive, I tell them we both drank the wine and then she just died after convulsing.
They got a physician in time to save me as I am not with child as I told Margery. Not yet at least as intend to correct that as soon as Christian comes here to see me.
Later that night
I see Christian finally as he had stuff to do for the King and Queen.
I kiss him and with a spell, remove our clothing so that we can make love so much faster.
We make love ten times before we are satisfied and I am pregnant as I have the spell to tell when you get pregnant on me.
I brighten at the thought of our own children as we have yet to have children together. Until now as I am pregnant with our first child together.
