Jane and George Boleyn
George stared at the closed door in front of him intently. What if something happens to the baby. What if Jane dies. Questions danced through his head. He was so distracted he didn't notice when Anne walked up beside him.
"George." He didn't even turn to look at her. "George, brother... breathe." He snapped back to reality and looked up at his sister and then to the door.
"George, she will be fine. Would you like to walk with me, I could really use the fresh air" she stated as she slid her hand over her slightly protruding belly. She was a little over 3 months now and had started to show. George looked at her and smiled, slowly rising to take her hand.
"But what if..." George began before Anne reassured him. "Charles will come get us if the baby comes while we are just outside."
"Certainly, your majesty." Charles had grown to care for Anne over the past few months and often would not leave her side in case someone tried to harm her. A very overprotective "brother", but one she had gone to admire and miss when he was not around. Henry laughed heartily at seeing his friend nervous that the queen, his charge, was was going outside by herself.
"Charles, you know the Queen is with her brother. He will protect her from any birds or squirrels that try to get her in the enclosed garden right outside the door" he teased.
Anne and George talked about everything they could, she missed him and was so glad that he was still with her. As they were walking back to the door Charles came running. "The baby has be born." With this George kissed his sister on the head and ran to meet his child. Charles took the Anne by the arm and walked her back to her husband. Henry held her close and whispered in her ear. "Charles is a good friend". "That he is husband".
When George entered the chamber he saw Jane holding their beautiful little daughter. "George my darling, I would like to call her Anne after your sister."
Lady Mary
Mary had been spending more time with her sisters and brother lately. She enjoyed their company but it made her long for her own child one day. She thought back to the day Anne told her that her father was actively looking for a marriage match for her but she wasn't sure if she wanted to hope. Little did she know that her father and Anne were working on a very special surprise for .
Mary had heard today was the day that Thomas Seymour was to be executed, for crimes against the crown. From the information disclosed to her he had once thought of harming her siblings. They were children, no matter how much one didn't like someone there was never the need to do harm to children. She wondered if his family would care about his death or just move on like it never happened. Could she have ever become so dark and cruel?
