Whitehall Palace, England

Queen Isabella Tudor nee Bête POV

I heard my friend, Angelique, Queen of France has had a premature labor. Three girls and two boys.

Princesses Rosalina, Maria, and Madeline and Princes Francois and Felipe. Rosalina looks just like her mother while Maria looks like her father's mother. Madeline looks like a combination of both. Francois looks like his father while Felipe looks like his grandfather.

I am five months along with child and couldn't be happier. I hope Henry doesn't stray but if he does, I shall endure it as I don't want the Tudor temper aimed at me. I might be a warrior witch but I am not suicidal.

I see Catalina with Maximillian and I smile and wave at her, hoping to cheer her up but she still looks gloomy. I feel bad for her as she has yet to get pregnant again while her husband's favorite mistress, Lady Astoria Grey has and is currently in her third month of pregnancy.

Lady Astoria Grey is known as King Maximillian's maîtresse-en-titre. But she cares not and is showing her affection publicly. I would at least hope that Henry should he have any affair, wouldn't do that to me as I watch Astoria and Maximillian kiss while he holds her in his lap in front of everyone in the dining hall.

If Henry cannot keep his vows, I at least wish it shall be done privately as I could not bear to know the name of the woman who would betray my trust.

King's Study

King Henry VIII POV

I have been looking at Catalina with want as it has been five months since I have lain with my wife and I have needs. I have a messenger tell Catalina to meet me in my chambers.

Catalina comes and I hike her skirts up, lower her underwear to give me access and I sleep with Catalina, not knowing I impregnated her with triplets. She corrects everything and goes to her husband, where I hear from a servant that he heard them moaning.

But unknowingly, it will be my babes that she carries, not Maximillian's. I wonder what I shall do now. I go to my wife and I make sure she is okay as Isabella should have her heart's desire.

The Royal Family of Germany leaves tomorrow and so, I shall hold a feast before they leave. I organize it and get everything ready. But I see how my wife is towards Astoria.

I call her to my study.

''My love, why do you hate Astoria so?'' I ask.

''She's hurting my friend. I cannot bear to see Catalina suffer.'' Isabella says.

Unknown to us, Henrietta senses the spell and switches them back but does not know of the death spell tied to Catalina's soul.

Lady Astoria Grey POV

I want to scream as someone had found out. But no matter, I shall be the next Queen of Germany and Maximillian's true wife. I know what Catalina has done and she cannot hide it forever.

Make that two more pregnancies after this one as she is to die delivering Maximillian's children, not Henry Tudor's children.

Though it does give me a bit of blackmail to use as she cannot keep it hidden forever as the children might take after Henry. But then again, there's a chance the babes will take after their mother.

I then pale as a thought comes to me. I worded her reincarnation to the King and Queen of Germany. If I am not chosen as his bride, she won't be born to me.

I pray that Maximilian will act on his love for me and marry me as soon as that upstart of a Queen is dead and not marry for political reasons. If he marries another, I know I will forever be a mistress.

Why, oh why must I be denied my love? Should he marry another, I shall weep and just have what time I shall have with the one I love.

Queen's Chambers

Queen Isabella Tudor nee Bête POV

I think of my children and husband as I am most happy right now. Then something happens. My water breaks and I go into early labor.

I push and push, delivering twins. Two baby girls. One looks like me and the other takes after Henry.

''Their names will be Princess Bridget (Henry's female version double) and Princess Cecily (Isabella's double).'' Henry says, not angry as we have five sons and I can easily conceive again.

''As you wish, my King.'' I say as I rest. I wish I had given him more sons as I feel as I disappointed him.

Henrietta comes and smiles at her little cousins once removed. (A/N what they called second cousins back in those days) She cannot wait until she delivers the babe from this pregnancy.

I hear Elizabeth Boleyn nee Howard has problems with her marriage as Thomas has been taking lovers and never caring what his wife thinks as he believes her barren.

With Elizabeth and Thomas as godfather and godmother to Mary, as Elizabeth had been dear to my heart when I was just from an Earl's line.

Henry's godparents re King Louis XII and Queen Angelique, Beau's are Charles Brandon's and his future bride, Mary Boleyn. Elizabeth's are Thomas Howard and whoever his wife shall be. Arthur's godparents are John and Margaret Seymour. William's are Francois of France and Maria Esperanza de Aragon. Edward's godparents are the King and Queen of Scotland. Isabella's are Catherine and Daniel Stratford.

Now we have to figure out who shall be Cecily's and Bridget's godparents. It's not as easy as it sounds. I wonder if Henry is pleased or if he wants more sons. I hope he at least is happy with little Henry. I am trying my best to please my husband. Oh, please my Lord, let Henry be happy and content with me. I am trying my best to please him.
