Seymour Manor

Mary Seymour nee Boleyn POV

I watch as my husband Edward plays with my children Elizabeth, Alexander, and Anthony.

I sneak up behind him and cover his eyes as I have a surprise for him.

I am pregnant as I have missed my monthlies as the last time I had them was three weeks before the wedding.

''Edward, I have wonderful news.''

''And what news might that be?''

''I am with child my love.''

When Edward hears that, he spins around and kisses me with so much passion that I just want to let him take me into our room and make love to me as much as he wants.

''You have just given me the most wonderful gift as I thought we would never have a child together as the midwife had said you may not be able to carry another child.''

''Oh, Edward how I wished I had wed you instead of Francois that day. Elizabeth and the others would have been yours instead of Francois.''

With time, I hope to forget I was ever Francois' wife and only remember Edward as my husband.

He makes sure I have everything I need as Edward is very protective of me and our unborn child.

I write a letter to Anne to tell her the good news.

Dear Anne,

I have the most wonderful news. I am with child about a month along and Edward is so happy as he will be a father in November and he cares not for the gender as long as they are healthy. Yes, I will tell father and George as I will write to father since they are both at Boleyn Manor.

Your sister,

Mary Seymour

I then write to my father as I said I would in the letter to Anne.

Dear father,

I have the most wonderful news. I am with child and the child is set to be born in November and I hear from the midwife that Odette and Anne are with child. I congratulate you on Odette's pregnancy. I would like to see the child when they are born as I am visiting before I am put on bed rest. Tell Odette I hope that she is well and I cannot wait to meet her as she was always in England when you came to visit me after you married her.

Your daughter,

Mary Seymour

I sent the letters with a mail courier and I knew that Anne and father would get the letters in record time.

Boleyn Manor

Odette Boleyn POV

I begin to make a christening gown for my babe and hum a lullaby while making the christening gown.

I hope the baby is a son as I want to give Thomas another son.

One of our servants comes to help me as we are friends and I care not for her skin color as I have childhood friends that are from Africa and we care not that we were born of different races we only care about each other's happiness and each other's family as we knew our families might not accept our friendship but they did and I am grateful for that.

Kamaria and Kalisha are my good friends and now we can add Malaika to our group as I had asked Kamaria and Kalisha if it was okay if I added a new friend into our group of friends and they are fine with it as they know I would never replace them and that I have a big heart.

I want them at my side when I give birth as they can sooth me as they have done so in the past as I needed soothing when I gave birth to Garrett, Harold, and Thomas as they were with me the entire pregnancy and birth and they had been there for the pregnancy and birth of Diana, Marco, and Nadine.

I know I might not survive the birth but I believe I will as I am a fighter and I will fight to stay with my family and my friends.

Greenwich Palace

Queen Nadine I POV

I look at my swollen stomach that is carrying my child or children and wonder if my babies will be reborn as Beauregard, Henry, Mary, Elizabeth, Arthur, and Isabella have been reborn now I want my Edward, William, Apollo, Artemis, Arcturus, Sirius, Gaia, Phillip, Samuel, and Hyacinth.

I sing the lullaby that my mother used to sing to me.

''Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly lavender's green. When I am King, dilly, dilly you shall be Queen. Who told you, dilly, dilly who told you so? T'was my own heart, dilly, dilly that told me so. Call up your men, dilly, dilly set them to work. Some to the plow, dilly, dilly some to the fork. Some to make hay, dilly, dilly some to cut corn. While you and I, dilly, dilly keep ourselves warm. Lavender's green, dilly, dilly lavender's blue. If you love me, dilly, dilly I will love you. Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly let the lambs play. We shall be safe, dilly, dilly out of harm's way. I love to dance, dilly, dilly I love to sing. When I am Queen, dilly, dilly you'll be my King. Who told me so, dilly, dilly who told me so? I told myself, dilly, dilly I told me so.''

I feel my children calm down and George, Mary, Elizabeth, Arthur, Artemis, and Beauregard are lulled to sleep by the lullaby and I put them in their cribs as I had them in my ladies-in-waiting's laps. I kiss their foreheads and pray that they get a good rest.


April 3rd 1515

Seymour Manor (Thomas')

Thomas Seymour POV

I lost my first wife, Margery to poison a year after she gives birth to Anthony and Margery.

Now I had a public wedding to Felicia as my wife as I cannot publicly marry Willow as no one knows Willow is my second wife.

Willow has given me two more sons, William and Gabriel.

And Felicia has given me four children at once, Raphael, Michael, Daniel, and Bridget.

On our wedding night, so the others will think Felicia was a virgin, I call in a virginal maid and ask her if she will sleep with me before my wife comes in for me to take her (she is hiding in the wardrobe) and she consents as long as I marry her so that she may have a husband and give her husband heirs. With that, I tear her underwear off, free myself, lay her down on the bed, and make love to her breaking her barrier.

With that, I have the first night sheets and marry the maid off to a servant of Thomas Boleyn and she is now a servant to the Boleyn family and shall not be able to spill my secret as she leaves in the night to marry Andrew Williams.

I then make love to Felicia and with the virginity of my ex-maid on the bed, everyone will think Felicia was a virgin when we married the second time (not that they knew that).

We make love five times, then I go to Willow and make love to her five times as well, not knowing I impregnated both of them.
