A King's Wife & Mistress

Inside of the King's bed chambers, there lay tangled in the bed sheets was the King himself along side him is his youthful blonde hair and blue eyed mistress. As they both recover from the intense time spend together in bed.

"Your majesty" says Jane happily tracing her fingernail on his bare chest "I have news to share with you"

Henry looks at his blonde mistress that was a mere fifteen as he says passionately "My sweet Jane you know that you can talk to me freely " before kissing her on the mouth.

Breaking from Henry's kiss, Jane whispers childlike "I am with child" while playing with the bed sheet that was covering her naked body.

Henry looks stun to find out that his mistress since last October questionably asks "Do you know for sure and does anybody else know of this news?" wanting to know how this shall play out.

Jane faces shows her fear when she says to her King "A midwife confirm that I was with child and it shall be born sometime in the winter season" pausing for a second before adding "And the midwife is only other besides ourselves that know this news"

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Henry states "You shall stay at court until you begin to show then you shall send back to Wolf Hall for your confinement and childbirth" naming her family's estate "I shall provide a allowance for this child through Wolsey. He shall also arrange your marriage and provide a dowry for your future husband"

Noticing that he did not mention the fate of their child, Jane bravely asks the father of the child in womb "What shall happen to our child?" placing her right hand on her stomach.

Henry mentions to his blonde mistress "I shall recognize the child as my own like Lord FitzRoy before him" noting that he shall only acknowledge the child if its a healthy son. As it's a sign that the lack of Princes in the royal nursery lay at his feet but the Queen's instead.

"Of course, your majesty" says Jane happily knowing that she knew in her heart and soul that she was carrying the king's child.

Henry then says to his mistress "Leave" as Jane carefully stands up letting the bed sheet covering her body fall to the ground as she puts her white nightgown back on along with grabbing the candle that she brought with her earlier that evening.

Once alone in bed for a nearly an hour, Henry knew that he had to find another to keep his bed warm and carefully dresses with the help of his servants before having breakfast in the Queen's apartments as she requested the night before during their evening meal.

Jane arrives promptly in her family's apartments at court to find her father and two brothers awaiting her arrival.

Her ambitious brother Edward asks his dear sister "Janey, why are you back this early?" noting that arrive back earlier then usual.

Jane then blurts out to the men in her family "I am with child . . . the King's child" before covering her mouth with her hand.

'Have you told the King that you are carrying his child?" asks Sir Thomas Seymour concern about his own position at court along with his daughter's and grandchild's.

Jane quickly mentions "The King knows that I am with child and plans to recognize the child if it's son" while Edward adds "Then you should hope that you are carrying the King's bastard son" knowing that a stillborn son would be better then a living daughter for their family.

"The King also told me that I shall travel to Wolf Hall once I begin show through my gowns that I am with child and that their shall be allowance for the child that you shall receive through Wolsey" states Jane to her father knowing that would be on his mind.

Sir Seymour asks "What about your future marriage?" knowing that a suitor would have to take a non virgin bride into his martial bed.

Jane looks to her father before telling him "The King shall provide a dowry for myself when the time comes and Wolsey shall arrange my marriage as well"

While enjoying their breakfast meal in silence as Henry looks at the different ladies-in-waiting from Katherine's household present trying to decide who shall grace his bed next.

When Katherine politely says "Husband, I have a craving for grapes" as she eats a piece of her desire fruit from her plate.

"My dear wife, are you with child?" asks Henry almost doubting those words knowing that out of the many times during their marriage only a sickly daughter lived past her first birthday.

Katherine takes Henry's hand to say "I missed my bleeding the last two months and the midwife has mention during her examine that our child shall arrive in the new year"

"That is the most joyful news" says Henry knowing that this shall probably be the last chance to have a Prince in the royal nursery before causally mentioning "I will have two sons in the new year" not realizing that he said that out loud.

"Husband what is with the your statement of two sons?" asks Katherine unhappily already knowing his answer.

Henry causally says to his wife "Mistress Jane Seymour is with child as well and if it's a son I shall recognize it as my own"

Katherine says quickly "I expect for your whore to be taken out of my household" not wanting to see another woman carrying her husband's child at the same time as herself.

"Mistress Jane shall remind in your household until she has to return to Wolf Hall for her confinement" states Henry changing his mind from what he previously said to Jane mere hours earlier.

The couple eat the rest of their meal in silence as Katherine calmly counts down the days until her beloved Mary returns to court for Henry's birthday celebrations.
