Catherine's Sleepless Night
One Night in France at the Castle Queen Catherine was getting ready for bed. After she was done getting ready for bed she went into King Henry's office and saw him working (It has been a year since King Henry finally was cured and sense again and decided to only have Eyes for his actual wife Catherine. Ever since then Catherine was so used to having him next to her when she was asleep) Queen Catherine walked over to his desk and tapped him on his shoulder. King Henry looked up from his paperwork and smiled.
Hey my Queen, what is up? Do you need something? King Henry asked as he looked at his wife and smiled
I am heading to bed. Are you going to join me? Queen Catherine asked as she looked at her husband and smiled.
I would Love to join you, my beautiful Queen, but I have a lot of stuff for the kingdom to do. Go on without me Cat and I will be up later. King Henry said as he smiled and looked at his wife then he kissed her hand.
Henry I…Queen Catherine was about to say but she was cut off by her husband as he placed a kiss on her lips.
Goodnight my Queen. Sleep tight. King Henry said as he sat back down at his Desk and continued to do stuff for the kingdom.
Queen Catherine walked out of the office and went into hers and her husband's room and laid down in bed. There was a knock on the door.
You can come in whoever it is Queen Catherine said as she looked at the door and sighed.
Prince Francis Came in with Mary Queen of Scotts (AKA His Bride to be) and they walked over to the bed.
Hey mother we just came to say goodnight to you and where is father now these days you can't sleep without him. Prince Francis said as he looked at his mother and then he sighed and smiled.
Yeah, I know Francis, but he is doing stuff for the kingdom so now I am going to have to try and fall asleep fun. Queen Catherine said as she looked at Francis and then looked at Mary then sighed.
Try warm Milk Catherine. It seems to help a lot of People it helps me sometimes. Queen Mary said as she smiled.
That is a problem, Mary. I can't do that at all. Queen Catherine said as she looked at Mary and sighed.
Do you not know how to make it because I can make it for you it's no problem. Queen Mary said as she smiled.
No Darling she can't at all I mean At All Prince Francis said as he looked at Mary and sighed.
Huh someone please explain I am confused a lot Queen Mary said as she looked at Catherine and then Francis
I can't drink Milk Mary I am Lactose intolerant I can't have any Dairy I will get sick Queen Catherine said as she sighed and yawned.
Oh, then never mind anyways goodnight, Queen Catherine see you tomorrow Queen Mary said as she walked out of the room.
Prince Francis walked over to his mother and kissed her forehead and covered her up gently. He then walked out of the room to Queen Mary.
Are you Ok Mary look you didn't know about the lactose thing with my mother it's fine. Prince Francis said as he smiled.
It's not that Francis I just am trying to get along with your mother it's impossible Queen Mary said as she went into her bedroom Chamber and went to bed.
Prince Francis went into the office and saw his father working. He then went over to His father and sat down on a chair across from him.
Father Mother went to bed, and she can't sleep without you by her side. Prince Francis said as he sighed.
Francis me and your mother have been sleeping apart before when we were strained. Your mother will be fine. King Henry said as he looked up at Francis.
Prince Francis left the office and went to bed Queen Catherine was laying down in bed trying to sleep. Queen Catherine eventually fell into an uneasy sleep 5 minutes in and she started to toss and turn. King Henry was in the Office thinking he looked at the Picture of him and Catherine on their wedding day he immediately thought about what his son was saying about his wife King Henry walked out of the office and into his and his wife's room. King Henry looked over at his sleeping wife. Queen Catherine looked very uneasy while she was asleep. King Henry walked over to the bed and covered his wife up and walked out of the room and then went back into his office. Bash the king's first-born son came into the office and saw his father.
Goodnight see you in the morning and everything is scurred fot tonight. Bash said as he walked out of the room.
Diana, the king's ex-mistress came into the office and walked over to him and started kissing him. King Henry jerked away from her and looked at her.
Diana what the hell are you doing here get lost now King Henry said as he stood up and walked off.
I am still your Mistress Henry. Come on, I know you want me still. Diana said as she looked at him
No I do not I am dedicated to Catherine my wife now no one else get lost now King Henry said as he looked at her and called the guards.
The Guards came to take her away, another hour had passed, and King Henry decided to check in on his Wife. When he got in there, he saw Catherine violently tossing and turning a lot. King Henry ran over to his wife and held her. Queen Catherine then settled into her husband's arms and fell asleep gently. When King Henry knew that Queen Catherine was asleep, he gently laid his wife down in bed and walked a bit away from the bed and looked back at her. Queen Catherine started to toss and turn in her sleep. King Henry went to his office and grabbed some of his paperwork then brought it to his and his wife's room. King Henry then sat the paperwork down on the desk in the room.
King Henry come quickly please there is a commotion out in the courtyard people are yelling and screaming fighting mostly we don't know what to do at all. They demand to speak to you now. A guard said as he looked at King Henry and sighed.
I will be right there thank you guard you may be excused now. King Henry said as he looked at the guard and then at his wife and left.
Queen Catherine was tossing and turning a lot again in her sleep. Downstairs in the courtyard King Henry came out and settled the problem very quickly.
Ok thank you kind gentleman see you all at the ball next week on Friday. King Henry said as he smiled.
King Henry walked back up to his and his wife's room when he got into the room, he saw his Queen in a different position with the blankets kicked off of herself. King Henry walked over to his wife's bedside and kissed his wife Goodnight then covered her up. Queen Catherine then settled again. King Henry began to notice a pattern with his wife and thought it was strange for sure.
That is weird you usually sleep through the night without me by your side Cat, so Francise was right. I know you are sleeping but I am talking to you anyways. I think it is time to call it a night you waited long enough for me Catherine, I will be joining you as soon as I get ready for bed. Jing Henry said as he stroked his wife's cheek.
King Henry got ready for bed and laid down next to his Queen. Queen Catherine felt his presence and settled into his side gently. King Henry felt his Wife and turned to face her he then wrapped his arm around his beloved Queen and held her though the night. Queen Catherine was finally at ease knowing that her King was right next to her all night. King Henry stroked Queen Catherine's haie until he fell asleep.
THE END
