A/N I would like to thank Sile the Reader for reviewing first and reminding me to put historical notes… whoops. Sorry. And to answer your question, Siobhan is pronounced Sha-von or Sha-bon, which ever you like more. And Seamus is pronounced Shay-mus.

Enjoy!

There's FrUk in this chapter… simply because it's my favorite pairing.

OoOoOoOo

Several months after the birth of their son, Siobhan and Arthur had boarded a ship to Calais with Seamus, now about 6 months old. They were going to introduce the nation of Northern Ireland to France, his king, Spain, and his king. Scotland and Wales were going to meet them there at a day or two later.

The boat docked, and Siobhan's ladies helped her dress before handing her son to her. She was led to the main deck of the ship, where she met with her husband.

"Are you ready to go, Siobhan?"

"Let us get this over with." She said, slightly annoyed. Seamus was playing with her hair, and holding Arthur's jacket sleeve with his other hand. The two began to disembark; Siobhan was struggling to hold her skirt up while holding Seamus firmly, which caused her to walk strangely, Arthur had to fight to not laugh, for he knew she would punch him if he did.

A carriage was waiting for the two and their few servants at the street and Arthur helped his Irish wife in before climbing in after.

XXXXX

The moment the three arrived at the French court they were bombarded, French nobles, Spanish nobles, and a few Germans and English. Finally, France and Spain appeared to save the two flustered nations.

After finding a private place in the gardens where Austria was discovered to be with the two Italy brothers they sat to talk. France was curious about the whole ideal; he didn't get to see Siobhan pregnant. Spain, however, did, so he described to Francis her fierce angry look as she stalked down the corridors of Hampton court keeping her hands on her round belly.

Siobhan blushed, and said she needed to put Seamus to bed, so Arthur kissed his son goodnight and told his wife sweet dreams, but stayed with Francis and Antonio while a servant showed the new mother where her room would be, and where the wet nurse would be staying.

After Siobhan left Francis grabbed Arthur's arm and dragged him further into the garden, where Antonio and Roderich wouldn't be able to see them.

"Have you told Siobhan… about is?" Francis asked. Arthur whipped his arm out of the older nation's hand, glared into his blue eyes and said, "There is nothing to tell her."

Francis placed his hands on Arthur's waist and pulled the smaller man closer, "What isn't there to tell her, mon cher…" He leaned down and began kissing Arthur's neck. Green eyes closed, and his pale hands wrapped around the Frenchman's neck, trying to pull them even closer together. England let out a groan when France began to nibble on that spot under his ear…

"Nnn… Francis… Wait…" He pushed the older blonde away slightly. Francis' blue eyes were staring into Arthur's green, and Arthur continued to speak, "I'm married, to Siobhan, even if we don't get along, and don't want to be married we are, and she just gave me a son. I can't just tell her that you and I have been having random affairs with one another when I was supposedly on political visits."

Arthur looked towards the ground, but Francis placed his hand on his chin and guided his face back up quickly. There was a tense pause between them; both knew what they wanted, but neither was certain if it was what the other wanted, too. Finally Francis summoned up enough courage to slide his arms back around Arthur's hips and kissed him on the lips. Tongues and lips moved against each other feverishly, and somehow Arthur found himself pressed up against a tree. France was littering England's face, neck, chest, and of course, his lips with kissed while his hands explored the smaller body.

Suddenly they heard the shrieks of two children, yelling that they didn't want to go to sleep. The two kissing nations broke their embrace, and stared at each other in silent understanding that this visit would be their last one together for a long time.

OoOoOoOo

Sorry it's short; I want to move on in history. I'm getting bored with this time period.

Here are the notes from last chapter and this chapter.

King Henry VIII and his queens- An English king in the 1500's, Henry was worried by his first wife, who was unable to give him a son. Katherine of Aragon, his first wife from Spain, was pregnant six times but only one child survived, Mary Tudor. Eventually he had this marriage annulled, which caused him to break his country's church from the Church of Rome. He then married Anne Boleyn, who also failed to produce a son, but gave him another daughter, Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I). He had her beheaded on false charges of adultery and incest. Ten days after Anne's death Henry married his mistress Jane Seymour, who did give him a son, but died 12 days later of perpetual fever. He married 3 more times, and before marrying his final wife he declared himself King of Ireland making Catherine Parr the first Queen of Ireland.

I have a feeling that Henry would be extremely jealous of married couples whose first born children were boys, which is the sole reason Seamus is a boy. Lol.

Calais- English ruled territory in France, where English officials often went as ambassadors to France.

Next chapter, I hope to start in the 1600's, with Queen Elizabeth I. You know what that means… Shakespeare!
