Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

I yawned snuggling closer to the warm body next to mine "sweetheart you need to get up" I heard and opened my eyes looking up to see Thomas staring down at me.

"It is not like I can leaves these rooms anyway" I sighed and he caressed my cheek.

"Yes, do not think you shall escape punishment?" I loved the feel of his body on top of mine.

"I thought you already punished me" he leaned down and kissed me and I deepened it immediately.

"Do not tempt me" the door opened up and he quickly rolled off in front of me hiding me from view and pulling the blankets up to my chin.

"Lord Wiltshire, I heard she had snuck back to Court" Henry said and my eyes widened in fear holding the dark sheets against me tighter.

"Yes, I am sorry Your Majesty" Henry's eyes did not seem forgiving and I felt trapped.

"I believe I made myself clear when I said you were banished from here" he snarled and I quickly looked down.

"I am sorry, Cordelia asked me to come speak with you" I whispered softly in fear.

"Yes I can see you have come to speak about Cordelia" he snarled in malice and I clutched the blankets tighter.

"Your Majesty, let us get dressed and we shall talk again" Thomas said growing uncomfortable, Henry left and Thomas looked at me for a moment.

"I am sorry I got you in trouble" I said in shame and he tipped my face up lovingly.

"Do not be sad, get dressed love" I nodded and had the servants get me dressed in a dark blue gown tying my hair up in a braided coil on the top of my head. Once finished we walked to the King's office and I held his hand tightly, I knew Henry's mood was in no way forgiving.

"Are you stupid woman?" He snapped before I could speak.

"No, I am not" I whispered.

"I ORDERED YOU TO STAY AWAY! WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?" He roared and I flinched back into Thomas's chest, his arms wrapped around me.

"I have come to talk about Cordelia! I have arrived late last night and did not want to bother you" he was still seething in rage.

"What the hell do you want to talk about?" He growled in rage.

"I know what Cordelia did was wrong and I am not here to justify her actions. She loves him Henry and as much as I wished she would have told us before running off with him and marrying him it is too late for us to worry about it. At Scotney she told me that…that I ruined her life because…because I…had her when we were not married and she was a bastard." His face was unchanging and I pushed ahead "she asked that we let her have this happiness, let her marry someone she actually loves, Henry I cannot force her to marry Lord Oxford when I know she shall be miserable" tears were slipping down my cheeks as I looked at him.

"Their marriage was not consummated" I swallowed hard.

"Please, I want my little girl to be happy Henry, and I know you want that too" I pleaded praying he would change his mind.

"You are asking me to condone what she has done!" He snarled in anger.

"I am not asking you to condone it, punish them but do not force her to marry Lord Oxford, she will hate you if you do Henry" he sat back in his chair.

"Leave my sight, I want to be alone" Thomas and I went to leave when he spoke again "she is confined to her rooms, if I see her anywhere else I shall have her sent straight to the Tower dungeons" Thomas nodded grabbing around my waist leading me back to our rooms.

"Nana!" Edward yelled running into my chambers after me and hugged me tightly, he was growing finely for a 15 year old boy and looked like his father very much, but you could see Anne in him as well.

"Edward! It is good to see you" I kissed his head hugging him close when the rest ran in.

"Nana you are back!" Cecily cried hugging me tightly.

"Yeah you are back really fast!" Margaret laughed in glee.

"Can you leave your rooms?" James asked.

"No, I have to stay in my chambers and I believe I might be sent back to Scotney very soon" I kissed their faces and hugged them close.

"Your Highnesses, your father has forbidden you from being here" my heart broke as there was silence in the room.

"Listen to what your father says" I whispered sadly and they walked out of the room Margaret whimpering softly.

"Stop sweetheart all is well" Thomas said rubbing my shoulders.

"Your Graces" a timid servant said walking through the door, "His Majesty said he shall have a decision in a few days time and he will summon you when he decides" Thomas pulled me back against his chest.

"Tell His Majesty we understand" he said and she left with a low curtsy.

May 19th 1533

Cordelia was summoned to Court a few days ago and she arrived today I knew Henry had come to a decision but he was so cross with me that he refused to see me. "Cordelia love" I said greeting her with a kiss upon the head, she leaned against me before hugging Thomas.

"His Majesty will see you now" I nodded and bit my lip finally leaving my chambers to go to his office.

"Papa" She said softly curtsying to him as we entered the office, her eyes widened in shock as she saw Charles Clancey and quickly threw herself into his arms. "Charles!" she cried out throwing her arms around his neck and he hugged around her waist whispering softly to her.

"You both are being sent to Nunnington Hall in shame, you are not welcome back to Court until I say" Cordelia nodded, excitement and heartbreak on her face.

"Thank you papa!" She ran to him and threw her arms around his neck tightly kissing his cheek.

"Go have your things packed" he said after kissing her head and sending her off with her…husband.

"Thank you Henry" I whispered softly once she was gone from the room.

"Now it is time for your punishment" I cringed back into Thomas as he glared at me for a few tense moments. "You are being sent to Hever Castle instead of Scotney, the only real punishment I can think of is keeping you from your children" I thought of William and Anthony who were still at the Palace. "Your sons have been sent to Chatsworth to be with their sister" my heart deflated, I knew Tom had went back to his home as well.

"Yes Your Majesty" I whispered heartbroken.

"Lord Wiltshire you are dismissed from Court as well I want you both gone before nightfall, that is all" there was nothing we could really say as we started for the door "Lord Wiltshire! I shall need to speak to you more before you leave, come back in an hour" Thomas nodded a troubled look on his face, we left back to our chambers and I stayed quiet the whole time.

"I have had the servants begin to pack" I nodded taking a seat my body trembling slightly. Catalina needed me right now, she was scared and in pain, I could not stay away from her.

"Why do I have to listen to him? I am not a common Courtier! I am the Princess of Spain" he looked towards me and took a deep breath.

"Katherine just accept the punishment" he warned.

"No, I am a Royal Princess and he treats me like a servant ordering me about!" I stood up and went to the door but Thomas grabbed my arm.

"You are not to leave these rooms! Christ woman! You are not to challenge him you have already angered him enough as is, do not push him till you wind up in the Tower. Yes we are Prince and Princess of Spain but you have to remember he is King! Now help the maids pack and if I find you have went to see him I shall punish you myself!" He snapped in annoyance.

I stared at him in shock not moving an inch for a moment, he was angry that he was being sent from Court like this, I bowed my head in shame biting my lip curling my fingers into the velvety fabric of my dress. I helped my maids pack keeping myself busy till he stood up and left the room, I glanced towards the clock and noticed an hour had passed. It took only 20 minutes before he came back his face gleaming with anger, I looked down as his eyes met mine in an act of submission, I felt like I should not challenge him right now, something had happened and I knew it was all my fault.

I set down a few books into a trunk and timidly made my way across the room, he was leaning against wall looking out the window as I placed my hand on his shoulder "do not touch me" he hissed going back into the parlor. I brought my hand to my stomach like it had been burnt, the maids looked downcast pretending to have seen nothing and I quickly rejoined them in packing.

I did not see him again till we met in the carriage, he helped me inside but said nothing after a few minutes I gathered all the courage I had and looked up to him, we were sitting across from each other. "What did the King want?" I asked softly, my voice sounded timid and scared, I had wanted it to be strong but could not find the strength in me as his cold eyes met mine.

"Because of your stupid stunt I have been relinquished as Lord Privy Seal" he snarled and I quickly looked down again, my lips felt chapped and I played with my fingers twisting them and fiddling nervously. I knew he loved his job as Lord Privy Seal.

"I am so sorry" I whispered softly as the carriage rattled along the pathway, he let out breath and shook his head not believing me. "I….I will sleep with you in the woods if it pleases you" I added leaning forward and taking his hand but he pushed it away.

"I am not going to sleep with you just so I could forget what you have done!" He growled and I retracted my hand quickly looking away from him, "no matter how many times I lay with you or kiss you, you still from time to time have nightmares about what that bastard did to you. You still fear the woods and anything to do with it, sometimes I like to believe that one day you shall forget it all, that I will but then you have another nightmare and I realize you will never get over it" I hated talking about this.

"Thomas please" I begged softly but he continued.

"I look at you sometimes and all I see is that scar he left on your chest, a constant reminder of what he has done to you" I brought my hand up touching it self-consciously.

"Stop talking about this…please" I begged but it was like he was not even listening to me.

"I want to make you forget, but-" I jumped to his side of the carriage and covered his mouth.

"Please stop…I cannot take you talking about it" tears had formed in my eyes but I refused to let them shed, the softness in his eyes got replaced by anger and he pushed me back to my seat.

"Other times I believe you do not wish to forget" he sneered and I gasped in disbelief.

"How could you say that?" I whimpered and sat as far from him as possible, "I want to forget as well Thomas, but you do not know how hard it is! You were not that one it happened too!" I cried in anger.

"I AM YOUR HUSBAND! I HAD TO DEAL WITH THE AFTER EFFECTS! I WAS THERE AS YOU CRIED AND SUFFERED! AND YOU ARE TRYING TO TELL ME I DO NOT UNDERSTAND?" He roared and I let out small sobs covering my mouth and squeezing my eyes shut tightly. "I think it is best if we do not speak for the rest of the ride" he hissed after a few moments and I said nothing, believe me there is a lot I wish to say…but I could not find it in my heart to say anything.

That night we stopped off at one of Thomas's friends homes for the night, we still have not spoken and supper felt tense it was not until we were shown to our chambers for the night I felt the need to break the silence. "Thomas…you know I did not wish for you to lose your job over this" I whispered as he sat in a chair, I placed my hands on his shoulders praying he would not push them away. "On the bright side you can spend more time with the children and I" I said in a weak excited voice.

"Katherine go to bed" he ordered and I walked around the chair and sat in his lap.

"Please do not be mad at me" I whispered softly and it took a few moments before he wrapped his arms around my waist comfortingly.

May 17th 1533

Cordelia Clancey

We arrived at Nunnington Hall today and I could not be happier, I knew my father was still angry at me and I felt guilty papa had lost his job as Lord Privy Seal and mama was not allowed to see my brothers or sister. But I could not be happier that I was with Charles "do you like it?" I asked as I lead him inside Nunnington with a hopeful smile. "It is not big like Isabella's home but I like it" I added quickly and he caught me around the waist and kissed me passionately.

"I think it is perfect" I giggled softly as he looked around the vast opening, last night we had consummated our marriage and it felt….amazing. "I told you everything would be fine, did I not?" He questioned lightheartedly.

"Yes, but you were locked in the Tower Charles! It must have been horrible" I whined and he hushed me with a kiss.

"I am fine, we are fine and I promise everything will be fine" with each fine he gave me a kiss.

"My parents are still hurt though" I sighed laying my head against his shoulder as he held around my waist leading me into the rooms looking around.

"They will get over it one day love, never fear" he promised and quickly found his way to our bedchamber. "Now how about we work on starting our own family" I blushed deeply and bit my lip.

"Charles…I am not sure I want children right now, I mean we just got married and I want us to be…alone for a bit" I said carefully and he laughed kissing me.

"If that is what you want sweetheart, but I make no promises" I smiled weakly as he kissed me deeply.

Isabella Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire

William and Anthony were staying with us again for a bit and Lord Devonshire seemed happy with that, I knew I needed to give him a son to keep him busy. But I could not lie, I wanted a little girl so badly "Lady Devonshire, a letter from the Lady Catalina" a servant said and I took it into my hands with a smile.

"Thank you" I whispered and went to a chair sitting down.

'Isabella,

They tell me mama is not allowed to come back to Scotney because she went to Court to help Cordelia. I wish she could for a I miss her as does Jane, Michelle, Rose and Annette. I know it is wrong but sometimes I hate Cordelia for leaving the way she did, it hurt mama a lot and got everyone into a lot of trouble.

I wanted to tell Bella I did! But Cordelia said if I did she would hate me forever and make sure I went to France not matter what! I miss when we were little and we did not have to worry about marriage and could play all day, after our studies of course.

I am being selfish only talking about my problems, how is your pregnancy coming along and how are things at Chatsworth? I am told William and Anthony are staying with you, lucky them! Tom has me and our sisters and niece inviting us to stay at Wilton House until we are allowed to see mama again.

I have wrote mama requesting it and she has agreed, on the 23rd we shall be leaving and I cannot wait! I have yet to be at Wilton but he tells us is it gorgeous with spacious gardens! He said he got us gifts of velvet and silk for new dresses! I cannot wait to have new dresses!

Your Sister

Catalina Boleyn

I smiled softly reading the letter of course Catalina was mad at Cordelia, she was the reason she got slapped in the face by the King. I was glad they were going to stay with Tom Lady Middleton had a hard enough time controlling them all when mama was there imagine what it is like when she is gone!

Catalina was so foolish at times, all she scared about was pretty dresses and jewels and not her studies, from what little I can remember of my half sister Mary from my fathers first marriage I believe she was the same way. Except she slept with many men, Catalina did not even understand how children were made.

"Isabella, are you well?" Lord Devonshire asked curiously I looked up from my letter to see him and my brothers standing in the doorway.

"I am fine, Catalina has sent me a letter it seems she, Rose, Annette and Michelle are going to spend sometime with Tom" they nodded and William and Anthony seemed a bit too excited. "What are you planning on doing today?" I questioned curiously standing up and holding my large belly.

"We are going hawking" William said in excitement.

"I am sure it shall be fun" I sighed in disappointment, I wish I could go but being pregnant makes it very difficult to do anything fun.

May 28th 1533

Catalina Boleyn

We have just arrived to Wilton House and it was beautiful! Tom was waiting for us outside and we all jumped out hugging him tightly, he lifted Jane up and held her on his hip leading us inside. "It is beautiful" Rose sighed looking around in awe, Annette and Michelle clung to my skirts tightly.

"When do we get to see mama and papa?" Michelle whimpered to Tom and he hesitated.

"I do not know for sure, but till then you shall stay with me" she bit her lip and started to cry.

Thomas Boleyn, Duke of Pembroke

I handed Jane to Lady Middleton and lifted Michelle up "please do not cry, I know mama misses you as well" I said softly rubbing her back as she buried her face in my neck.

"Why they taking my mama away again?" She sobbed and Annette ran forward and hugged around my waist tightly.

"No one is taking her away, I promise everything shall be fine" I whispered and looked to Catalina.

"Catalina, please take them to their rooms, Lady Rogers shall show you to them" she nodded and I placed Michelle down and let them go off with their governance.

"Lord Pembroke, you asked for me?" Lady Geraldine said with a quick curtsy, she was about Catalina's age and the daughter of one of my servants.

"Yes, I need help getting my sisters a gift I know they miss my parents very much and I want to get them something that will take their minds off it for a while" she chewed her lip nervously probably thinking she had been in trouble.

"Oh…it is an honor My Lord…maybe a pony? I know they have never owned one before and I am sure they would love it" I nodded and thought about it for a few minutes.

"I think that would be a perfect gift, thank you Lady Geraldine" she curtsied again and left I went down to the stables and looked at a few of the horses.

"Lord Pembroke is there anything I can help you with?" My master of the horse said and I nodded.

"I am looking to purchases a pony for my sisters" he nodded quickly.

"I know a man who sells them, I can have a few brought over tomorrow for you to look at?" I nodded quickly.

"Yes as soon as possible please" I went back to the house and to their room.

"Where did you go?" Annette asked and I ruffled her hair affectionately.

"I went to the stables to check on something" Michelle was cuddled into Rose's arms who leaned against Catalina. "now who wants to go play?" They all nodded eagerly and followed me to the gardens.

May 29th 1533

There were four ponies before me, there was a brown female with a white strip on her forehead, a fully black male, a white and black female and a male white pony. I did not know which one to get and sent for Lady Middleton to help me, she inspected each one before choosing the brown female "thank you" I said to the seller and he pocked the money and left "can you get my sisters for me?" I asked Lady Middleton and she nodded bringing them down to the courtyard.

"What is it?" Rose asked curiously.

"I have got you a gift" they all perked up.

"What did you get us?" Annette begged grabbing my hand.

"Yes tell us please!" Catalina added giddily.

"Lady Middleton" she had the pony brought into the room and they all giggled and screeched happily looking upon their new pony.

"Is it really ours?" Michelle asked Jane giggled jumping into my arms.

"I wide pony?" She asked in her baby gibberish.

"Yes you may" they clapped happily and I placed Jane on the pony and held her as she walked around the courtyard.

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

Thomas has been so quick to anger lately, today he was working on our account and I knew any minute he would come in yelling about some expense he did not see as necessary. "Katherine!" I heard him snap and placed my book down rolling my eyes as I stood up.

"Yes husband?" I asked turning just in time to see him slam the door and snap at the servants to leave us.

"You spent over 200 crowns on dresses last month!" He snarled and I poured him a goblet of wine.

"Yes, you must remember that we have 4 daughters and one granddaughter living with us, not to mention Cordelia was living with us a month ago" he glared at me angrily.

"You have to ask me before you spend my money!" I knew it was useless to fight with him about this.

"I am sorry" I handed him the goblet and he took an angry gulp staring at me.

"Sorry is not good enough!" I took a step forward and caressed his cheek.

"Calm down" I sighed before kissing him "Thomas I am so sorry you lost the position of Lord Privy Seal and if I could get it back for you I would" his temper cooled a bit at my words and I hugged around his neck laying my head on his chest.

"There is nothing you can do, he has already employed Lord Essex as the new Lord Privy Seal and as you might know he is a bit angered at us" I nodded solemnly, Cordelia was supposed to marry his son Lord Oxford.

"Maybe you could offer him Catalina instead?" I offered lightly and he grabbed my arms tightly.

"How many times must I tell you she is already going to marry Lord Beaucourt!" He snarled in anger, I quickly looked away hurt by his tone with me "look at me when I am talking to you!" He almost yelled and I jumped.

"Please stop yelling" I whispered and he held me tightly against him.

"We have already offended Lord Oxford by letting Cordelia marry the servant boy! I am not going to offend the King of France by letting Catalina marry another!" He snarled in anger and tears slipped down the corners of my eyes.

"You do not have to be so cruel to me! She is my daughter Thomas! You cannot expect me to be happy about her leaving! She does not want to marry him and I feel like you are forcing her into an unhappy marriage! Henry tried to do the same thing with Cordelia and look what happened!" I cried and his eyes went dark with rage.

"Are you trying to imply that Catalina is going to do the same?" He snarled and my eyes widened, "is that what she is planning?" He shook me a bit.

"NO! I know nothing what, I was only-" he dragged me to our bedchamber and shoved me inside.

"You helped Cordelia did you not?" I could not say anything from shock "and now you are going to help Catalina do that same, you may have already ruined ones future and that is fine by me. She is yours and the King's daughter, but Catalina is mine and I shall not allow you to ruin her!" I had no clue what to say for a few moments.

"I did not help Cordelia…Thomas I was just as upset as everyone else and would never let Catalina do that same" I whimpered wiping tears away quickly.

"You are confined to your chambers, the girls shall be at Wilton House and I shall go visit them, I shall write Lord Devonshire and have the boys brought to Wilton as well" he locked the door and slammed it shut behind him.

"THOMAS WAIT!" I screamed slamming my fists against the heavy wooden door "PLEASE THOMAS!" I slowly let myself fall to the ground in tears…I wanted so badly to see my children. A servant told me he did not leave for Wilton but rather went to separate chambers to stay, I felt comforted knowing he was not going to yell at Catalina for something that she has not done.

But I knew she could be thinking of it.

Mary (Marie) Queen of France

"Mama!" Charlotte giggled walking around the room holding a doll, Harri was 5 months now and sitting up in my lap.

"Hello sweetheart" I said kissing her forehead and she smiled brilliantly.

"Sister" George said walking in, I know he has missed Jane terribly and was leaving for England to retrieve her.

"I have received a letter from Isabella today, the doctors believe she is carrying twins" I said without looking up to him just yet.

"Twins? I hope the birth is well" I nodded and handed Harri back to his governance.

"I wish I could go to England with you" I sighed forlornly.

"I am not staying long, only a week or two Renee is to stay at our estate" she has been so sad since she found herself unable to bear children and George has yet to tell mama or papa.

"I shall invite her to Court in July for Henri's birthday" he nodded and looked to his niece and nephew.

"Isabella tells me you have not written anyone, you know it breaks mama's heart" he let out a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

"I have nothing to say Mary nor the time to write" I creased my forehead in aggravation.

"After everything mama has done for you and you treat her like this? What have they done to make you want to ignore them?" I demanded in annoyance.

"Tis nothing they did! I just do not have the time!" He growled and I shook my head.

"I do not understand what is wrong with you lately? George you have been so snappish lately!" I said in annoyance, Charlotte sensed the tension in the air and whimpered before running to me.

"Mama!" She cried reaching her tiny arms up to me and I lifted her up.

"I have not been snappish!" He snapped and I rolled my eyes and brought Charlotte to her bedchamber where I laid her down for a nap.

"Sleep my little girl" I whispered petting her cheek and she closed her eyes falling asleep. George can say all he wants but he has changed, ever since he has married Lady Renee he has been more distant from us, I believe it has to do with the fact she cannot have children. I knew mama wished for him to write her more often and I wished he would as well, she loved all her children so much and it hurt her that we were so far from her.

Catalina Boleyn

June 12th 1533

Isabella, Lord Devonshire, William and Anthony all came to Wilton House for William and Anthony's birthday, the pony no longer consoled Michelle and Annette and they cried daily to see mama and papa. I prayed everyday that the King's anger would subside and he would allow them to visit "what are you whispering about?" I asked Isabella and Tom curiously and they jumped hearing my voice.

"Catalina you should not sneak up on us!" Isabella gasped in surprise, she was 7 months along now and her belly was so big!

"I did not mean too, I am sorry" I whispered looking down to the ground, I hated being scolded.

"Do not be like that you know I meant no harm" Bella said tipping my chin up.

"We have a surprise" Tom announced and a dejected Annette, Rose and Michelle looked up to him.

"Surprise?" Jane asked in excitement.

"Yes a surprise" Bella said with a large smile, "Cordelia is coming to Wilton for the weekend" their smiles fell as did mine, we were all hoping that the surprise would be mama and papa.

"Oh" Rose sighed looking out the window again.

"I knew you might be sad about that, but mama and papa shall arrive tomorrow as well!" Tom announced and they giggled and shrieked in excitement and preparations were immediately made for tomorrow.

June 13th 1533

Michelle Boleyn

Today was William and Anthony's birthday and we all stood in our best dresses waiting for the carriage that would bring mama and papa, I could not stay still no matter how much Isabella scolded me. Two carriages came into view and I bit my lip turning my toes in my slippers waiting anxiously, the first set of doors opened up to reveal Cordelia and I scowled in annoyance, she was the reason mama and papa got taken from us to begin with!

The second carriage opened and I saw mama! I could not hold back and quickly raced forward jumping up in her arms "mama!" I sobbed burying my face in her neck breathing in her scent, I missed her so much!

"Mi amor" she said happily with a hint of tears in her voice.

"Mama! Mama!" I heard my sisters cry from behind me and I then jumped into papa's arms.

"Nana!" Jane yelled affectionately and we stayed outside for 20 whole minutes greeting mama and papa before we noticed Cordelia again.

"Mama" she said softly.

"Cordelia….Mr. Clancey" mama addressed Cordelia's husband with a mixture of mono-tone and annoyance, I did not understand at all!

"Mama you are not going to leave are you?" Catalina begged.

"No, we are not leaving after our stay here you all shall come home with us to Hever, save your older siblings" papa announced and I giggled hugging him tighter. Tom lead us inside and to the parlor where we all sat down to have sweetmeats and talk!

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

I may have helped Cordelia in staying married to Charles Clancey but that does not mean I like him, I actually detested him. What kind of man would steal a girl away in the middle of the night and runaway with her? He has no respect for Thomas and I, least of all the King! "How are you feeling Isabella?" I asked in concern after we sat down and she placed her hand on her belly.

"Well, Lord Devonshire and I have finally decided on names" Rose perked up and sat next to her sister.

"What shall they be named?" She begged as Jane crawled up into my lap, I kissed the top of her blonde head and looked back to my eldest daughter.

"Richard or Peter for boys and Sofia and Clara for girls" Annette placed a hand on her belly.

"Those are pretty names!" She exclaimed happily.

"Thank you…what about you Cordelia? How do you feel?" Isabella asked directing the attention to her sister.

"I am well, both Charles and I are" she announced purposefully including her husband, "though we have decided to wait a bit before starting a family" I thanked God for that. I did not want to force my daughter into any decision but maybe she shall see the error of her ways and divorce him.

"That is good" Tom sighed and she shot him a look.

"Did you bring us presents?" William finally asked impatiently.

"William" Thomas warned and I nodded to the servants who brought their gifts in. We got Anthony new books, quills, inks, fabrics for new sets of clothes, jewels a set of leather gloves for hawking and a new horse which resided at his home in Westhorpe Hall. We got William mostly the same things but more things for hunting which was an extremely pleasurable pastime for him, we had the bulky things like his horses sent to his estate of Thornbury Castle.

"Thank you papa…thank you mama" they both hugged us and received gifts from their sibling.

"Catalina, we need to speak with you about something important" Thomas said and she nodded. We went back to the chambers we were staying in and she followed closely curiosity flickering in her grey irises.

"What is it papa?" She asked looking up at him with large innocent grey eyes.

"I have decided to send you to France early…you shall return with George when he comes to get your nice, I cannot afford to have you getting ideas and running off with the stable boy" I gasped in shock pulling my daughter to close to me looking at him with wide eyes.

"No…papa please do not send me away for something Cordelia did!" She begged breaking away and throwing her arms around Thomas's neck.

"I will not have my name shamed by a marriage to a nobody" she looked back to me and hugged me tightly.

"Mama please do not let him send me away!" She sobbed and I held her tightly.

"Thomas Boleyn you will not do this!" I snapped tears streaming down my face, he could not send her away like this.

"Katherine it is for the best" I shook my head and hugged Catalina close.

"If you do this I want nothing to do with you ever again! I do not even want to live under the same roof as you" the corners of his eyes twitched just a little.

"I am sorry then" Catalina ran from the room in tears, Thomas tried taking my hand but I slapped him across the face and followed her quickly.

"IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" She screamed bursting into the parlor and slapping Cordelia across the face as hard as she could.

"Catalina stop it!" I cried pulling her away from her sister who clutched the side of her face in pain.

"I HATE YOU! I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL AND NEVER HAVE ANY CHILDREN!" Everyone gasped at the malice in Catalina's voice and I clutched her arm dragging her away.

"Stop it sweetheart" I dragged her away with Tom's help and Rose, Annette, Michelle and Jane whimpered fearfully in the corner as Isabella checked on Cordelia.

"I do not want to go…please do not send me away mama" Catalina sobbed holding me tightly.

"I am not going to let him send you away, stop crying" I whispered softly to her.

"What is going on?" Tom asked looking from Cordelia to Catalina then me.

"Your father thinks Catalina might do what Cordelia did and marry a man of no standing to get away from marrying Lord Beaucourt…so he has decided to send her to France with George when he comes to get Jane" no one said anything for anything for a while.

"I do not want Catalina to leave" Michelle started to sob running forward and throwing her arms around Catalina "I just got mama back I do not want to lose you!" Jane started to sob from the emotion in the room and I had Lady Middleton bring the girls away save Catalina.

"Katherine" Thomas snarled in anger walking into the room and saw Cordelia clutching her cheek in pain. "What the hell is going on?" Catalina clutched me tightly sobbing in fear.

"Catalina blames Cordelia for her having to go to France" I said simply and everyone felt the tension in the air.

"Please…we all need to calm down" Isabella said and Lord Devonshire stood in front of her protectively.

"I agree" Tom said standing in between Thomas and I.

"I have done nothing to her!" Cordelia finally snapped from the arms of her husband.

"Yes you did! You were selfish! And now I have to suffer because you married a nobody!" Catalina lashed out.

"Excuse me for marrying the man I love!" Cordelia cried in defense.

"You know nothing of love! You just did not want to marry Lord Oxford so you threw yourself at the first person who said the word love to you!" I held Catalina back and Charles Clancey stayed quiet through the whole thing.

"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Thomas roared and Lord Devonshire pulled Isabella close to her.

"I believe you are right, Isabella have our things packed I am not going to stay her when there is a chance you could lose the child" my throat tightened as she obeyed him.

"I shall leave as well, I can tell when I am not wanted" Cordelia hissed and Charles Clancey followed her out the door.

"I am not leaving!" Catalina sobbed running back to her chambers, my whole body trembled as I watched my children fight and go their separate ways.

"Mama it will be alright" Tom said pulling me into a hug.

"This is all your fault" I snarled to Thomas I pushed passed him as I went back to our chambers.

Thomas Boleyn, Duke of Pembroke

I knew mama was hurting very much right now "papa please" I begged as he glared at mama as she shoved by him, "no leave her be" I cried as he started after her.

"Mind your own business Tom! This is between your mother and I" he snarled and I stood feeling useless.

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

I knew this fight would be bed, he threw the door open and I lay against the bed squeezing my eyes shut tightly, he grabbed the back of my brocade and pulling me up from the bed. "How the hell is this my fault!" He snarled grabbing my face tightly, I let out a small cry grabbing his hand.

"You are punishing Catalina for what Cordelia did! Now she blames her sister and they are fighting! All because of you!" I cried trying to break free but his grip was tight.

"Tis your fault Cordelia ran off in the first place!" He pushed me back and the back of my knees hit the bed causing me to fall with him on top off me.

"How is it my fault?" I whimpered after failing to get from under him.

"You fill their heads with the idea they can do whatever they want when they want! You tell them stupid fairy tales of Princes and Princesses falling in love and marrying even though nobody wanted them to! Tis those thoughts that let her believe it was okay!" He snarled and I sobbed feeling the weight of his body crushing into mine.

"They are just stories to help them go to sleep! I have always told them they need to obey orders!" I could feel his hot breath on my face.

"They are frivolous girls Katherine! Of course they believe the stories you tell them" He growled, I hated when he talked of them like that. I knew they were not as smart as Isabella or their brothers but they were still my daughters and I did not like him talking about them like their heads were filled with air.

"They are not frivolous!" I sobbed in defense.

"All they think or care about is the dresses they wear and silly girlish things! I love them, I do, but I do not fool myself into believing that they are genius. You yourself act that very way at times! Tis where they learn it from" his words hurt and I slammed my fist against his back trying to get him off of me.

"You are cruel! I despise you!" I snarled and he pushed himself down against me so I was pinned tightly against the bed.

"You are ungrateful" He hissed in my face.

"Let me up! Thomas Boleyn let me go!" I fought but it was for nothing, he was stronger then me and easily kept me pinned against the bed till I became to tired to fight.

"Grow up woman" he snapped angrily leaving the room, I rolled onto my side and sobbed into the bed.

June 15th 1533

Thomas was having us leave for Hever today, Isabella and Cordelia already left for their homes and all the children including Michelle refused to talk to their father. The girls were in constant tears and whimpers while William and Anthony remained quiet, "I have received a letter from George saying he planned to leave for England last month, he shall be here early July" I clutched Catalina tightly.

"I am not going with him!" She sobbed in general.

"Yes you are and that is final!" Thomas snapped bringing all the girls into tears again, they did not want Catalina to leave, in little less then a year they have given up Isabella and Cordelia to marriages and they did not want to lose Catalina as well.

"I hate you!" She sobbed louder burying her face in my shoulder.

"She is not Cordelia Thomas!" I cried and he shot me an angry look.

"Keep quiet!" He snarled to me and I bit my lip close to tears.

"Stop being so mean to them" William finally spoke up, "just because you are mad at what Cordelia did does not mean you have the right to take it out on mama and our sisters" I sucked in air quickly not wanting him to tempt his fathers anger.

'Tis not only that William, please it is alright" I said quickly.

"Because of your mothers stunt I lost the job of Lord Privy Seal and am banished from Court" he growled angrily, the fight between Cordelia and Catalina did nothing to help his foul mood either.

"So? That only means you can spend more time with us, why do you love your work more then us?" Rose piped up holding tightly around Catalina.

"I do not love being Lord Privy Seal more then you" he answered quickly.

"Then why do you want to be Lord Privy Seal so bad? All it does is keep you away from us, do you like being away from us?" She demanded and he was silent for a long time.

"Rose this is ridiculous" he huffed crossing his arms.

"I want my papa" Jane whimpered from my lap and I kissed her head.

"Papa is on his way here" I promised and she buried her face in my chest.

"I do not like it when you fight" Annette whispered softly looking at her hands in her lap neatly.

"Yeah, I do not like it either" Michelle added.

"We are sorry sweethearts, I believe Lady Middleton has packed some sweetmeats for you all, would you like them now?" I asked and they all hesitated before nodding.

When noon came we stopped off and let the children spread their legs for a little bit "we cannot fight in front of the children Thomas, I have told you that before" I made sure to say it quiet enough so the children would not hear.

"Yes I remember Katherine" he snapped and I took a deep breath glancing up to him "I shall make sure to say nothing in front of them again, happy?" I nodded and leaned into him, he sighed as wrapped his arms around my waist. "How about we speak nothing of this all till we get to Hever?" I nodded gratefully.

"I like that very much" he tipped my face up and kissed me.

"You are not mad anymore?" Michelle asked surprising us.

"No, we have made up" she clapped her hands and jumped up to him.

"Are you still going to send Catalina away?" her tiny voice asked.

"We have not decided yet, stop worrying of it" she nodded and kissed his cheek, he put her in the carriage and looked to the other children. "Come along now" they all ran back and he helped them up inside.
