April 20th 1516

Greenwich Palace, England

Primrose Garcia POV

I empty my stomach for the fifth time as I am always nauseous and now, I have to wait three months to get these babies out of me.

Oh, please go fast as I want this to be over with for now.

I see a groomsman that looks exactly like Antonio but is more romantic than he so mayhap I will take him up on his offer as Carlos Lopez can pass for him.

We will see as I need to deliver these babes first before creating another babe as well.

June 1st 1516

Garcia Manor, England

I see Carlos and knowing I am only a month away from delivering my babes and I can have my lover and my husband.

Although Antonio won't know that I have a lover as he deserves to feel what it is like to go through everyday knowing your spouse is with their lover and not you.

I cannot wait until the fifth of July as then I can make love to Carlos and have his children nine months after.

As Carlos looks exactly like Antonio (black hair, brown eyes, thin lips, roman nose, oval shaped face, and tan complexion) and as we are going to be discreet, Antonio will never know.

I will take this affair to my grave as will Carlos as he does not wish to die so young as he is only seventeen.

July 5th 1516

Primrose's Rooms/Birthing Chambers

Anna Easton POV

''Push my Grace push.'' I tell Lady Garcia as I see the babe's head crowning.

She pushes and pushes until the babe is born, a son.

''A baby boy Your Grace.'' I tell her after she has pushed the afterbirth out.

''Go tell my husband Anna.'' she tells me as she is taking to one of her maids as well.

Mariana Alverez POV

''Go and distract my husband after he hears the news. Please Mari, you know I would not ask this of you normally.'' Primrose asks me to do.

''Of course, milady. But what if he wants to sleep with me?''

''Then if you want to, sleep with him. I care not.''

''As you wish milady.''

I go and distract my lord after he learns he has a son.

We end up making love in his rooms the whole day, never knowing what my lady is doing.

At the same time

Primrose Garcia POV

I let Carlos in and kiss him passionately, stripping both of us our clothing and we make rough and passionate love for three hours (conceiving a child) before he leaves and Antonio comes in five hours later and makes love to me for four hours straight (conceives another child).

I am safe knowing I have given him a son, Santiago Garcia and now that I have probably conceived again, I can pass my lover's children off as Antonio's.

We wait a month to board a ship going to Spain, Carlos coming as well.

July 15th 1516

Beryl's Chambers/Birthing Rooms

Anna Easton POV

''Push Your Grace push.'' I tell Beryl Wolff nee Black, Duchess of Hamburg.

She pushes and pushes until the babe comes out.

''A son Your Grace.'' I tell her.

''Tell my husband the news.'' she says.

I go out in the hallway and tell Lord Hans the good news.

''Your wife has given you a son milord.'' I tell Hans.

As soon as I tell him that, he rushes in there to rejoice about the birth of his heir.

Hans Wolff POV

I rush into the room and kiss my wife as she has done what my other wives have died trying to do.

She has given me a son, my little Elias is finally born into this world.

I make love to her, and make sure she is with child again as I make love to her five more times.

I then go to my chambers and when my maid comes in, I take her by her wrist and make passionate love to her and knowing that she is married, any child of mine shall be recognized as the husband's.

Beryl Wolff POV

After Hans leaves, I cry knowing he will seek a way to stay alive longer so he can remarry me under a different name.

I know Hans and I know he will do anything to be with me until we die as giving him a son is too great to give up.

August 8th 1516

The Catalina Ship

Antonio Garcia POV

We are on the Catalina, named for Queen Catalina of France, called Katherine there but still our Princess Catalina in our hearts.

My wife, Primrose is taking care of Santiago while I make love to Mariana Alverez who is now Mariana Augusto nee Alverez, bride of Mateo Augusto my butler.

And he shall recognize any bastard of mine as his child.

I cannot believe I am going back to Spain with an heir as I never thought Primrose would give birth to a son.

My last wife delivered three daughters before she and my son died in childbirth so I knew better than to hope for a son.

August 17th 1516

The Angelique Ship

Finn Balke (Hans Wolff) POV

I sent a letter to Friedrich a month ago asking if he knew of a potion to make me younger and a week ago, I got a response along with a potion that said to kill a man and glamour the body to look like me and to create letters to my new identity saying no more like begging my new identity should Hans die I marry his widow.

So of course, we wed right then and there and consummated our marriage later that night.

I cannot wait to go back to Germany and brag to my friends and family (those who know the truth) of my having a son.

August 20th 1516

Greenwich Palace, England

Queen Nadine POV

I go to George and make rough passionate love to him (conceiving child/ren) and then leave as he is busy with the taxes and levies.

I go back to my chambers and continue to make clothes for the poor as I do every season.

As I continue making them clothes, my brother Theodore Black (sandy blonde hair, emerald green eyes, hooded eyes, wide lips, oval face, and pale complexion) comes in and greets me as he normally does.

''Brother, how are you? Have you found a wife since losing Christine last year after she gave birth to Daniel, Galvin, and Elijah?'' I ask knowing he will not unless I look for a wife for him myself.

''Christine has given me another man's children so why would any other woman be different?''

Then I know that I have work to do as Theodore won't marry as Christine has given him children by another man the first time and so, Daniel, Galvin, and Elijah are now bastards under the law and he has to marry to have an heir.

So, I go to my husband and we pick out a bride for him.

His new bride will be Sierra White (brown hair, upturned blue eyes, Grecian nose, diamond shaped face, round lips, and a tan complexion) who is twelve years old and the youngest sister to Anna Reeves.

We have them to be married within the week so that he shall have an heir and she, a husband.

August 27th 1516

Theodore Black's Chambers, Greenwich Palace

Sierra Black nee White POV

I am now waiting for my husband as it is my wedding night and I am nervous as he may not want me.

He comes in, strips both of us, and enters me stilling for time as it is my first time and then after the pain goes away, he makes rough and passionate love to me for the whole night to where I cannot walk the next day.

August 28th 1516

When we come out the next day, I walk with a limp as the night went really well.

We sit on the left side of the Queen and we speak with her about several things.

I do not know what the Royal Family saw in me, but I am glad to be able to drag my family's name out of the mud and higher than just servants as I am now Duchess of Gloucester.

Oh, how I wish to give Theodore the heirs he needs as sadly, the natural babes he had were bastardized as there was evidence his wife had another man's children the first time and so there is doubt as to whether Daniel, Galvin, and Elijah are his or are her lover's.
