Chateau Naples, France

Aria Naples nee Belle POV

I scream as I push and push my babes out of my body and as soon as the last and fourth babe is out, I push out the afterbirth.

I have given birth to two boys and two girls and given Samuel more heirs and two more daughters.

I then don't feel well and before I know it, I lose consciousness and I know I will leave my husband a widow as no one knows about his second wife but they will as she is with child.

Samuel Naples POV

I pace back and forth waiting for news and when the physician comes out, he has a grim look on his face.

''I'm sorry my lord but your wife has passed away and is with God now.''

I cry as I mourn for my wife and Rachel comes to comfort me.

I name mine and Aria's children, for the boys there is Niklaus (blonde hair, slanted blue eyes, oval shaped face, and full lips) and Elijah (red hair, almond green eyes, heart shaped face, and thin lips) for the boys and for the girls, I name one Aria (ash blonde hair, almond sky-blue eyes, heart shaped face, and full lips) and the other Titania (red hair, slanted green eyes, oval shaped face, and thin lips).

I stay widowed for two weeks before remarrying Rachel Seymour and will only consummate our marriage after she gives birth in December.

William Brereton POV

I hear the sad news of Lady Naples passing and even though it seems Samuel moved on, I know he hasn't and that he only married Rachel Seymour as she is carrying his child.

Otherwise he would have married someone else after the mourning period and not that Seymour wench.

But luckily, she won't be married to him for long as I believe I have seen her frailty show everything.

She is too small to handle a big birth and so, Samuel will be a widow again and then get to marry for love.

Samuel and I have become good friends so I know he doesn't love Rachel as I have seen him in love.

Chateau Blois

Raphael Naples POV

I have finally come to France with my wife, Isabella Naples nee Garcia to my homeland and in time to hear about my sister-in-law's passing and I know the only reason Samuel married Rachel Seymour is that she is carrying his child.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have remarried as he really loved Aria.

I feel bad for my brother as he doesn't deserve to be married to someone he doesn't love.

I make sure Isabella is okay as she is two months pregnant and I don't want her to lose the babe.

I have introduced my wife to King Louis XIII as I wanted his blessing and of course, he blessed the marriage.

Isabella Naples nee Garcia POV

I sit in our room in the palace and see how my husband is feeling regarding the death of his sister-in-law.

I am not jealous as every day he spoke of her in a brotherly way and I know how losing siblings can be.

My mother gave birth to a son for my father Antonio Garcia, but he died two weeks after birth and mother followed a day afterwards.

And then my father married Primrose a year ago I believe.

I like Primrose as she has brought my father happiness and so, I can at least see her as a sister figure.

Although I wish my father didn't have the need to remarry but God needed my brother and mother and called them home.

As niece to the Queens of England and Norway, I am seen as an important person which is probably why Raphael married me.

I do know that he has given me a chance to be free from my father and I do love him even if he does not love me.

I will be the dutiful wife and give him heirs as it is every woman's job to give her husband a son.

I need this babe to be a son so I can live in peace and not be stressful everytime I give birth to a girl.
