July 4th 1515
Boleyn Manor, England
Odette Boleyn POV
With only one more month, I am prepared to give birth but I was not prepared for Thomas' hovering as he has ever since he learned of my pregnancy.
I have given birth before and survived so he should stop worrying so much.
If he would only let me get up and walk in the gardens, I would not complain so much.
I am not an invalid and yet he is treating me like one.
Although, I feel that this will be my last pregnancy. I don't know why but I feel that way.
I am sewing my baby's christening gown and it is going to be gorgeous as ever, although Thomas wants me to use Diana's for her children.
But she has three different ones and the babe might be too big for them.
I wonder if the babe will have my platinum blonde hair or Thomas' black hair, and what of the eyes? Will he or she have my green eyes or their father's grey eyes. And the facial structure will they have my heart shaped face or Thomas' oval face?
So many questions unanswered right now.
Well it is time to rest and think about it another time.

Midwife POV
''Push my Grace push.'' I tell Odette Boleyn, Duchess of Cassis as I see the crowning of the head.
''I am pushing.'' she says as she pushes the babe out and I cut the umbilical cord connecting mother and child.
''A baby boy your Grace.'' I say before giving the babe to a maid as Odette starts to push again.
She pushes three more babes out before she pushes the afterbirth out.
''Two daughters and another son your Grace.'' I tell her before she slips in a coma.
I go out to Lord Boleyn to tell him the news. The good and the bad as his wife might not make it.
''Her Grace has given birth to two sons and two daughters my Grace.''
''How is my wife?''
''She has slipped into a coma. If she does not wake, she might not make it.''
When he heard that, he ran into the room and will stay by her side until either she awakens or slips away and is greeted by the Lord in Heaven.

Odette's Chambers
Thomas Boleyn POV
I sit by Odette's bedside until she wakes or is called home by the Lord.
Please Lord, let my wife stay with me. Let her wake up and dazzle me with her grass green eyes.
I need her to wake up and tell me everything is going to be alright.
I end up dozing off into slumber while at Odette's bedside.
August 1st 1515
Odette Boleyn POV
I am surrounded by a white light all around me and I see the Lord Jesus and Elizabeth Boleyn and I bow my head.
The Lord Jesus took my head in His hands and made me look up at Him although I felt unworthy to gaze at Him and He seems to know as His green eyes gets this look and He seems to say without words that I am worthy although I don't feel it.
''Your time will come but for now you must go back my child.''
''Tell Thomas I forgive him and to take care of all of the children. Mine, Diana's and yours all the same. And tell him that I will be watching to make sure.''
''Yes, Lady Elizabeth.'' I said as I bowed to them both again.
Without further ado, the Lord sent me back into my body and I woke up and I saw Thomas by my bedside.
''Thomas? What is wrong?'' I ask and Thomas looks up and kisses me and thanks the Lord Jesus repeatedly.
''Thomas where are the children?''
''With a wet nurse until you woke up as I did not know if you would wake or not.''
I sooth him as only a wife could and Thomas calls in the physician and Dr. Naples checks me to see if I am capable of bearing children.
''I am afraid that the birth was taxing and you are unable to have any more children as the birth has left you infertile. I am sorry.'' Dr. Naples says.
I begin to cry and know that I will have no more children and am afraid that Thomas will leave me or take a mistress.
''I am relieved that I don't have to worry about losing you Odette. And I will never take a mistress as I have more than enough children from you, Diana and Elizabeth combined.''
''What about the names?''
''I was thinking for the boys Kaelan and Angelus for the boys.'' Thomas says.
''For the girls I was thinking Elizabeth and Magdalene.'' I tell Thomas.
''They are perfect names.''
I give him a kiss as my way of saying thank you for liking the names as I want to honor his wife, Elizabeth and since there is already a Mary in the family, I honor Mary Magdalene by naming the youngest girl Magdalene.

George Boleyn POV
I congratulate father on the birth of Kaelan, Angelus, Elizabeth, and Magdalene.
For my father's happiness, I never mention what I know of Diana as I do not want the babes to pay the price for their mother's transgressions.
I never want father to think it was because of him that mother died.
Even though Diana never would have murdered mother if she never would have been father's mistress.
But I won't tell him that as I know he will try and pin the blame solely on Diana if he should ever find out.
