Greenwich Palace, England
Queen Nadine POV
I am just a month from delivering my triplets into the world and I will be to hold them in my arms soon enough.
George comes in after I sing the lullaby to my pregnant stomach and kisses me so passionately that were I not pregnant we would be creating a babe right this minute.
''We have a few dignitaries in court today. Will you help us welcome them at the feast tonight?''
''Of course, my love. I will wear my best at the feast.''
With that, George leaves and I get ready for the feast as it is in one hour's time.
I pick out my blue gown with golden accents and with it my golden slippers, my aquamarine necklace, my golden tiara with aquamarine jewels that was a gift from the King of France, Louis the XII and my golden earrings.
Once I am ready, I go to the feast hall door and the guards open the door for me and I am announced.
''Her Majesty Queen Nadine, Duchess of Dublin.''
I bow to my husband and the other dignitaries but George took my hand and made me rise as he thought I should not be bowing in the state I am.
He helps me into my chair and I am introduced to tonight's guests of honor, Adam Black, Duke of Cork, William Brereton, Duke of Lyon, and King Manuel the I of Portugal, the father to our future son-in-law, Nathaniel of Portugal.
His wife, Queen Megan of Portugal, aunt to King James V but just 13 and already a mother as she has given birth to twins, Prince Manuel and Princess Joana of Portugal, is by his side.
I eat and in-between the bites make small talk with Queen Megan and her sister, Diana Stuart who is of age now to be married and I recommend a family friend, Eric Gavin, Duke of Lourdes, as he is a friend of the Black's and Bête's as his father has before him.
He has just turned fourteen just as Diana has just turned twelve.
They thank me for the help as they know Diana has to at the least marry a Duke and if she marries below her station, she will be disinherited and will not be able to be called a Princess of Scotland.
With Diana and Eric's courting then wedding, they have a lot of planning to do.
I leave after a good 3 hours as I need my rest for the upcoming birth of my babes.
As soon as I get into my rooms, I get ready for bed and nod off to sleep.
Later that night
I wake to find that my water has broken a month early and wake my ladies and tell them to fetch the midwife.
They run to do as told and Sarah Cromwell nee de Flores comes in and measures how far along I am.
''Your Majesty, I feel the babes' head. When I tell you to push you must push.'' she says.
I nod my head as another contraction hits and I moan in pain.
''Push my Queen push.''
I push and push until the first babe is born and I take a few deep breaths before pushing again until another one of the triplets is born and then I finally push the last babe and the afterbirth is out of me.
''Your majesty has given birth to three princes'.''
''Let my husband in to see his sons.''
''As you wish my Queen.''
With my permission, she takes her leave to tell my husband King George the good news.

King George I POV
I am pacing back and forth as I hear my wife scream and then the screams die down and the midwife comes out and I pounce.
''How is my wife? How are the babes? Is everything okay?'' I ask.
''Your wife is fine, the babes are fine, and yes everything is okay.''
After hearing that I bolt into the room and I see my wife and Queen of my heart is holding one of the babes with her golden blonde hair sticking to her skin as she looks up at me and smiles.
''My love come and meet your sons.''
''Who is the eldest?''
''The one with your black hair love.''
Yes, I have black hair as my mother was a 'ravenette beauty' my father would say and I took after her.
I have black hair, diamond shaped green eyes, my father's lips and oval face.
''Their names shall be Henry, Duke of Liverpool, the red haired one shall be Edward, Duke of Kilkenny, and the blonde, Eric, Duke of Canterbury.'' I proclaimed.
''As you wish my love.''
I have the bells rung for the birth of my sons.

General POV
''Hear ye, hear ye, Queen Nadine the first as of last night has given birth to Prince Henry, Duke of Liverpool, Prince Edward, Duke of Kilkenny, and Prince Eric, Duke of Canterbury.'' town criers cried as the bells were rung.
Everyone knew Queen Nadine had higher power now that she has given birth to three more sons, even her enemies knew.
June 1st 1515
Queen Nadine POV
My children, Crown Prince George, Princess Mary, Prince Arthur, Princess Elizabeth, and Prince Beauregard have been allowed to the party to celebrate their siblings' birth and christening as it is today.
Crown Prince George's godparents are Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk and his wife, Luna Brandon nee Howard.
Princess Mary's godparents again are Thomas Boleyn, Duke of Cassis, the title he was given by Louis the XII before his death and his wife, Odette Boleyn nee Kingsley.
Prince Arthur's are Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset and his wife, Mary Seymour nee Boleyn.
Princess Elizabeth's are Thomas Seymour and his bride Felicia Seymour nee Swanson.
Prince Beauregard's are Lady Aria Porter nee Belle and her new husband, David Porter.
Prince Henry's are Prince Charles of Spain and his betrothed Princess Anita of Spain.
Prince Edward's are Queen Megan and King Manuel I of Portugal.
And Prince Eric's are King Maximilian I and Queen Angelique of Germany.
I at least want my friends still in my life and so I asked George if it would be okay for Aria and Angelique to be godmothers to any of our babes and he agreed.
An hour later
Our babes have been baptized like their siblings before them and are now recognized by the Pope as true Princes of England as the Pope does not like George chose me over a true Catholic Princess like Princess Megan of Scotland, now Queen Megan of Portugal.
I am Christian but also wiccan as well as I love the Earth and been taught to love it since I was a babe.
But me being Christian is not a problem, it's being a wiccan that's the problem.
June 5th 1515
King's Chambers
King George I POV
I am signing what papers I need to when Isabella comes in and kisses me with so much passion that I forget about the paperwork, undress us and make love to her for four hours straight.
We redress and I get back to the paperwork as some are betrothal contracts.
I betroth Henry to Angelique and Maximilian's newborn daughter and youngest of their children.
I betroth Edward to the unborn daughter of Anne and William Bête as I have a feeling that she will have multiples again and she always has girls along with her sons.
And Eric I betroth to any newborn daughter of the Duke of Cleves, John La Marck.
With that done I go to my wife's chambers to go another round with her to ensure pregnancy.
We make love for another four hours before having dinner brought to us and once we are full we retire to bed.
