Chapter 4
MPOV
Catherine had called me to my chambers, after I had finished with my ladies. I made my way to her chambers looking around the castle, happy to be back home at French Court. I had made it to Queen Catherine's chambers now worried about what is about to happen. When I walked up to the door the guards let me in a announced my entrance to Catherine. When I walked I said "I was told you wanted to see me."
"Ah Mary. My dear, now that we're fast friends, I'd like to help you with something of the utmost importance," announced. "Babies."
"Excuse me?" I questioned feeling nervous. How could she have found out that I was pregnant, I haven't told anyone not even Francis.
"Your duty, in case you are unaware, is to produce an heir and ensure the future of your line," she said sounding as if it was really nothing to worry about, and the only thing that mattered was having mini Francis's running around the castle.
"Yes, I am well aware of that. Thank you" I replied getting nerves again, while fidgeting with my hands.
"And yet you stand before me looking svelte," she stated talking as if she knew something was different or off. "You aren't pregnant, are you?"
"We have only just gotten back, it hasn't been that long," I assured. Now I definitely need to tell Francis of our baby growing inside of me. King Henry walked in demanding that I leave so he may talk to his wife. I walked out of her chambers smiling, happy that I will get the chance to bare Francis's child. I walked through the castle feeling content with everything that is happening in my life, my marriage to Francis and my newly found pregnancy. (Skip a few hours, I'm going to skip Mary's and Bash's little encounter)
I was in my chambers brushing my hair thinking of the things that have gone on today, but most of all the things Bash had said about Francis and his men trying to kill him. I went and talked with Francis's men about trying to have Bash found, not really caring if Francis finds out or not I need to know who I am married too. I heard the door opening asuming it was Francis. "Wait till you hear the conversation I had with your mother today," I told him as he shut the door to our chambers. Ah, our chambers that just brings me hope for our child and our future that we will be together and happy. All I have to do is just tell Francis.
"I rather hear the conversation with my guards," he demanded. "You wanted to know my orders for Bash's departure."
"I knew that you would hear about that." I said. "I'm sorry, but I... I have to ask you, did you order your guards to kill Bash?" I questioned feeling slightly scared at how he would react to my question and to me seeing Bash today.
"Who put this idea into your head?" He questioned. Looking as if he was about to yell at me for just being in the same room.
"Bash believes it was your doing," I said standing up from my chair at my vanity, feeling a little faint.
"He was here? Where?" He asked, looking even reader showing how made he really was.
"In this room," I replied.
"Your bedchambers," he sighed, not really asking a question, but seeming as if I was such a disappointment. (skip a bit of the argument...)
"We are royals, We have the power to do terrible things," he told me. "Without trust, we're nothing."
"This is true of you and Bash as well," I said taking his hands in mine. "Trust..."
"How can I trust him?" He asked interrupting me. "He killed a man in the woods for you and now these guards. He..." "What, does he say he killed them in self-defense? I think it was to remain close to you." He said stepping back away from me. "I think it was to remain close to you."
"Francis, he did this in order for our child to have safety in this kingdom, in France alone," I announced. I didn't want to tell him like this, I wanted him to find out in a special way not from us fighting about Bash. He looks at me in astonishment, just now allowing what I had said to seep into his brain. He looked down at my stomach and then back at my face, to my lips, and then finally to my eyes. There was a love, passion, kindness, and so much more showing through his eyes.
"Your pregnant?!" He questioned, spinning me around. I have never seen him this happy before. Anyone within the borders of France could see the glow that had shown from the smile on his face. I giggled as he finally set me back down on solid ground. He grabbed me face, and gave me one of the most passionate kisses we have ever shared.
