"Wake up my dear, here is someone who wishes to greet you," Edward said and softly kissed Anne's lips. She stirred and opened her eyes.

"Good morning Edward," She said and smiled

"Good morning Anne. Did you sleep well?"

"As well as it can be expected considering where I am."

"I know something that can make your day better."

"Yes?"Anne asked curiously

"Certain Princess wishes to greet her mother. She is really impatient. I wonder from whom she inherited that." Edward said and smirked.

"Elizabeth is here?" She asked and jumped from the bed."Call my ladies to dress me."

"As you wish my dear."

Fifteen minutes later Anne was rushing toward royal nursery. People were moving to let her pass as if she was Queen still. She couldn't wait to see her beloved daughter. They didn't saw each other since she left to Wolf Hall. Suddenly she saw Jane and her ladies walking toward her. Queen was dressed in the gown made of red silk that was heavily orated. Dress was very pretty, but it didn't suit her. Anne tough that she looked better in lightly colored gowns that she wore while she was her lady in waiting.

"Lady Beauchamp," Jane said when she came before her. Anne made a small bow as if she was greeting someone who was her equal. Queen noticed it and frowned.

"Where are you rushing my lady?" Jane asked.

"I am going to the nursery to visit my beloved daughter Princess Elizabeth," Anne answered emphasizing word princess."It is such shame that she still doesn't have royal brother or sister to play with." As she said that she bowed again and continued to walk toward nursery leaving Jane behind.

When she came to nursery her daughter was playing with one of hers dolls.

"Elizabeth, my own heart, you have grown so much." Anne said and swept her in the hug.

"Lady Bryan says that I am a big girl now."

"You really are. Did you like the presents that I sent you?"

"I did. Thank you, mama, you always send me the best gifts."

"That is because I have the best daughter. Now tell me where you a good girl to Lady Bryan?"

"I was, I pray every night for the little brother who will be King after Papa."

Anne scowled slightly at her words

"That's good. You will soon have little brother or sister to play with. I have a baby in my belly."

"Brother?"

"Not necessary, maybe it's a girl."

"I would like to have a little sister."

"You will be great big sister my dear Elizabeth."

Anne spent a wonderful morning with Elizabeth before her beloved Princess had to go to her lessons. She was really proud of how smart her daughter is.

When she came back to her chambers Edward was waiting for her.

"Hello, husband," She said in a cheerful manner.

"You upset Queen Jane today," He said

"I didn't say anything disrespectful. She asked where I was going and I answered her that I was going to visit my daughter." As she said that she sat before vanity and started brushing her dark locks.

"People said that you were acting as if you were Queen."

"It's not my fault that she is like some frighten mouse, nobody takes her serious." Their looks met through the mirror.

"My sister is Queen, you must respect her."

"She didn't deserve my respect and she never will. To me, she is just a simple plain country mouse. Nothing more."

"She is your family now."

"No, she is the killer of my son; she took the love of my life from me. I lost everything because of her!" When she said last words she saw pained look on his face.

"You love him still, don't you?" Edward asked after a minute of silence. His voice was slow and quiet.

Anne didn't know what to say. She didn't know the answer to that question.

"I see..."Edward said. His face was expressionless, but inside he was breaking.

"You are just what I thought about you before. Cold, manipulative bitch. I won't sleep here anymore; our marriage will be only on paper from now on." As he said that he turned to leave.

"Edward, wait..." Anne called after him, but he didn't turn.

She felt tears on her cheek and she couldn't believe that she was crying because of Edward Seymour. Months before she would be happy if he left her alone, but now she felt sad.

She had to admit to herself that she grew very fond of him. He was a good man and he made her happy again.

Two weeks has passed since Anne and Edward's fight. Whole Court knew that they didn't talk. King was in very good mood since he found out.

Anne tried to talk to her husband but he ignored her every time. He was really hurt.

One evening while she was preparing for bed someone knocked on her door. She instantly felt hope that it was Edward and rushed to open them. But it was one of King's men. He told her that King wishes to see her right now. She was curious why Henry called her.

When she came to his chambers he wasn't there. She looked around and memories overcame her. In every corner, she saw them laughing, talking, fighting, kissing and loving each other. She came closer to the big bed and gently traced a finger across the pillow. How many times did she lay here?

She loved him so much, she didn't even know that it was possible to love someone so much, but he broke her heart so many times.

Does she still love him?

"S many memories." She heard Henry's voice.

Anne quickly turned around and bowed deeply to him.

"You're Majesty," She said.

"Henry, call me Henry. I love how you used to say my name all the time." He gently said.

"Why did you call me?"She asked, avoiding using his name.

"I wanted to see you."

"You see me every day at Court."

"Yes, but we never talk."

"We don't have what to say to each other."

"We have so many things. I saw you looking at the bed, you were remembering." He said and came closer to her. If she lifted her head only a little bit their lips would meet.

"I was. But that's all we have, memories good and bad. I loved you, some part of me may love you still, but you hurt me so bad. You destroyed me! Tossed me off, like some cloth. I wanted to die that day when I saw you with her! I really did! Do you know how it is to live in fear every day? No, you don't" Tears were falling down her pale cheeks. Henry pulled her in a tight embrace. He felt bad.

"Anne, I love you still, I always would," He mumbled n her hair.

"You have a wife. You wanted her so much that you were ready to kill me. Leave me alone." Suddenly she felt his lips on hers. It felt so natural to respond, she kissed him so many times before. Then something fluttered in her stomach and she remembered. She was carrying Edward's child. Edward her husband who loved her, who defended her. He made her happy again, taught her to smile after tears. He teaches her that it's possible to love again

Anne pulled herself from Henry's embrace and rushed out. She heard him calling for her, but she didn't turn around. She rushed toward halls like a crazy woman. She wanted to find him, to tell him.

She loved him. She loved Edward Seymour. It took her so long to realize it. She was too afraid to see it. He was her future, Henry is past. Part of her will always love him always. It was a great love, all-consuming and destructive. Her love for Edward is greater. She loves him with every fiber of her begin and she doesn't want to live without him

Anne rushed in chambers where he slept since their fight. He slept peacefully. She climbed on the bed and shook him lightly.

"Anne?" He was worried when he saw her tears.

"I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it," She said through the sobs.

"What?"

"I love you, Edward. You, not him. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are my other half." She said and hugged him tightly.

"Do you forgive me?" Silence.

"Edward?"

"I forgive you, Anne. I love you too, and I love our child."

AN: Review please.
