Chapter Five- For Being You

"A child?", Danielle nodded. He took both her hands into his, "then a child you shall have my love…". He kissed the top of her forehead. "I think we should pay a visit to Jacqueline at the manor…I need to get you out of this gilded cage…". Danielle only nodded. She was still feeling weak but she knew she had to get out of the palace. If not for her, then for Henry.

When they got out of their carriage, Henry and Danielle where greeted by a cheerful Jacqueline. "Oh Danielle I have the most wonderful news! Captain Laurent has asked me to marry him! And I said yes!". Danielle embraced her stepsister, "Oh Jacqueline that is wonder news!". For quite sometime Danielle and Henry had noticed something different about Laurent. The man was practically skipping all the time.

"Well it dose example his behavior lately". Danielle turned to Henry with a mischievous smile. "Oh will you just be happy for them Henry…"."I am! I truly am!", protested Henry. "Jacqueline, I hope you don't mind but can I go to the garden. I shall love to see the grounds again. It has been far to long". Jacqueline nodded, "Oh course Danielle. You know you never have to ask. This is your home as well". Danielle gave her the best smile she could, and placed her hand into Henrys, and they headed to the garden. It looked its best than it had in years. Roses and other such lovely flowers filled the garden. It was full of life.

"I must say Jacqueline, the garden looks better than I remember it", said looking around the grounds. "I am surprised you remember it at all my love, Your cloak was in your face most of the time". Danielle smiled softly while Jacqueline chuckled. Henry gave them a sarcastic smile. "Ha ha, it would have not been in my face if someone didn't thrown an apple at me, that caused me to fall a horse…Danielle!".

For the rest of the afternoon Henry and Danielle stayed at the manor, talking about how they met and the wedding to come. Danielle had agreed to help Jacqueline with the plans and also agreed to met each other the next day. The carriage ride back to the Palace was a fairly quite one. As soon as they stepped out, Captain Laurent greeted them. "Laurent you dark horse you kept your engagement to Jacqueline quit", teased Henry. Danielle smiled to herself but felt a bit sorry for the blushing Captain. "Oh Henry, leave the poor man alone…". Laurent let out a cough, feeling very nervous about the conversation that was going on. "Your highnesses, the king and queen would like to know if you would like to join them for dinner?". Before Danielle could say anything, Henry spoke. "Um no Laurent, me and Danielle wish to have dinner alone". The confused Danielle looked up at her husband. "Alone?", Henry nodded, "Alone". "Oh alone…"Danielle felt her checks getting hotter, getting the hint.

As soon as Henry closed their bedchamber door, Danielle surprisingly, kissed his lips gently. "What was that for Milady", he put his arms around her waist as she put hers around his neck. "For being you Milord". He smiled and took another kiss from her lips. And when he pulled anyway Henry rested his forehead on hers. He saw the passion in her eyes that he had missed so much over these past few days, the passion that only one person could give him.

ch 4, signed Aw. Danielle is always so strong but i dont think that most women who has had a miscarriage would be out and about after a little more than a week. I think that they're usually pretty weak for half a month atleast. I do love this chapter though abit that its kinda short. I look forward to your next entry.
