Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

I bit my lip nervously adjusting my sons collar as we waited in our parlor as the guests took their seats. Today was the day Tom was to be married to Lady Elizabeth Bryan and I fussed over everything trying to hide the fear I held, I could not help but be scared that Tom would be like his older brother and leave once he was married and become wrapped up in his own life and forget all about us. I loved George do not get me wrong, but it hurt that he would cast us aside for a life in France with a new wife.

"Mama it is going to be alright" Tom assured taking my hands.

"I cannot help it" I admitted looking to the ground.

"Mama is it time yet?" William groaned from his seat, he and Anthony were laying in seats staring up and the ceiling on boredom.

"No, not yet" I sighed, it felt wrong to be wearing this shade of blue, so light and happy. Henry had taken the Court out of mourning saying Mary would not like us to be wearing black for so long.

"It is fine" Tom said again and hugged me again, it hurt to see my children growing older. Tom was so much like his father and now towered over me with sandy blonde hair and glittering grey eyes. The only thing him and Isabella shared was those ice grey eyes they got from their father, "you will see me again soon we are only going to Wilton for a few weeks and I promise to bring them back as soon as possible" he said speaking of his younger brothers and sisters.

"I know that, but you are my son I am allowed to be a little saddened just as I will be when William and Anthony are to be married" I glanced towards my other sons who rolled their eyes.

"Lady Amelia Sutton is only 12!" William sighed dramatically in annoyance.

"At least Lady Mary Howard is my age" Anthony said back with a laugh and he earned a pillow thrown at him.

"Both of you cut it out!" I snapped and they immediately stopped.

"Mama?" The girls asked nervously opening the door and walked in, they were all dressed in pink and white laced gowns their father had bought them recently all in different fashions of course. Catalina's was the most extravagant because of her older age but none of them seemed to mine.

"You four look beautiful" Tom said and they blushed.

"Papa said he was looking for you" Rose announced and I nodded leaving the room and went to our chambers.

"Husband?" I asked and he pulled me close into a kiss.

"It is time, go get the girls and take your places" I nodded taking a deep breath and we took our seats in the chapel waiting for everything to start.

"Is this going to be a while mama?" Michelle asked curiously.

"Yes, but you must be respectful" she nodded and it started, I felt my throat tighten as Thomas sat down next to me and took my hand, I watched as my eldest son was married to the young woman before him. It was hard for me to believe that so much time has passed that now my children were married and having children. I looked over to Isabella who was sitting next to her husband the twins up in the nursery sleeping, Michelle who was sitting next to me leaned her head into my side and I had to remind her to sit up more then once.

Thomas Boleyn, Viscount of Lincoln

The priest pronounced us husband and wife. For a moment I found it hard to believe that I was now married, I looked to my wife to see her dark scared eyes her black hair was down her back, her dress a pale shade of white. We made our way to the celebrations and nothing was said in-between us it made it far more awkward "Tom!" Michelle cried jumping up into my arms and I laughed throwing her into the air before catching her.

"I believe you remember my younger sister Michelle?" I asked my new wife and she nodded smiling at my younger sister.

"It is a pleasure to see you again" Elizabeth said kindly and Michelle blushed shyly and hid her face.

"She is very shy but I am sure she will get used to you" I assured her and she nodded nervously biting her lip I knew she must be very scared right now, it was a lot to take in for one day. She has just been married and must know what tonight would bring.

"When…when shall we leave for Wilton?" She questioned in a small voice.

"Tomorrow afternoon" I was glad when Michelle tugged on my shirt still in my arms.

"We are going with you, right?" She asked softly.

"You are going to stay with mama while the others come with me, have no fear in a few weeks you will all be reunited" she nodded but looked slightly saddened.

"Yeah but only because papa is leaving" she whimpered.

"It will be alright he shall be back in February" that did nothing to console her.

"That is a long time Tom!" She said sadly, "mama says that we shall all stay at Scotney till papa comes home even William and Anthony" I placed her down on the ground and she looked to Elizabeth. "Are you going to keep Tom away from us?" She asked accusingly with angry eyes.

"No, Lady Michelle I shall do nothing to keep him from you" Elizabeth said quickly not wanting to upset that little girl before her.

"Good" Michelle said before our other siblings joined us.

"Congratulations" Rose said hugging me close as the others hung back a little.

"Thank you Rose" I said and looked to my brothers and sisters, "are you going to ignore me now?" Isabella hugged me tightly.

"I am not ignoring you but I do not want annoy you" Isabella laughed.

"It does not annoy me" I promised and pulled Annette closer, the party went on and before I knew it night came. Elizabeth was growing increasingly nervous "mama, papa" I greeted as Elizabeth went to speak with her family once more before it was time to retire.

"I love you" mama said hugging tightly around my neck.

"I love you as well mama, do not cry it is not like tomorrow I will be a completely different person and you will never see me again" I laughed but she did not seem to be in such a mood.

"You should be going son" my father said after a few moments and held mama next to him.

"Goodnight" I told my parents and my sisters, my brothers must be off doing something stupid and I could only hope that it had nothing to do with me in anyway.

It was a quiet walk back to my chambers and the priest blessed the bed leaving, Elizabeth stood in her white chemise biting her lip nervously. I waited till all the servants left before approaching her "My Lord" she said in a quick deep curtsy.

"There is no need for formalities, we are married now" she nodded and I took her hand into mine they were so much smaller and feminine.

"Very well…Thomas" I shook my head with a small laugh.

"Call me Tom, the only person who calls me Thomas is my mother and only when I am in trouble" she smirked just a little and took a deep breath glancing towards the bed. "It shall be alright I promise to try my best not to hurt you" I rest my hand against her lower back leading her back to the bed and gently laying her down. She closed her eyes taking deep breaths 'relax it will be alright" I assured her but I could not lie even I was nervous.

"I am sorry" she whispered her cheeks blushing a shade of pink, I hesitated for a moment before leaning down to kiss her.

Catalina Boleyn

I sat in my chambers quietly looking out the window it was late but I could not sleep "Caty? I heard and looked over to see Rose yawning awake, "what are you doing awake?" She questioned curiously walking over to me.

"I could not sleep" I sighed.

"Mama is going to check on us in a bit and she will be mad when she finds you awake" she stated, mama and papa got to stay up later then we did and mama always checked on us before she went to bed for the night.

"So? I do not care, go back to sleep Rose" from across the dark chamber I could tell she rolled her eyes and lay back down next to Michelle and Annette.

She was not wrong though a little while after she fell asleep mama opened the door and was surprised to find me awake "Catalina, you are supposed to be in bed" she scolded lightly but had an edge of concern in her voice.

"I do not feel like sleeping right now" I sighed in annoyance and she did not say anything for a good moment or two.

"Sweetheart get a blanket and come sit with me in the parlor for a little bit then" I did as she said and wrapped the heavy wool blanket around my shoulders and followed her. "Thomas I shall be a few minutes" papa nodded seeing me and went inside his rooms to go to sleep, mama was already in her chemise and I sat down next to her in front of the warm fire. "Sweetheart what is on your mind?" She asked pulling me into her arms, I snuggled close to her like when I was a little girl.

"What if….what if I do not wish to be married?" I asked softly and there was silence for a long time.

"Catalina…I know at first the idea of being married is very intimidating but everything will be fine" I shook my head pulling away a little.

"No mama" I sighed taking a deep breath, "I do not want to be like Isabella and you" she looked offended and I quickly pressed on, "I do not want to have to ask permission for everything I do, I do not want everything I own to belong to someone else" she caressed my cheek sadly.

"You have to obey your father Catalina and he has betrothed you to the Earl of Oxford do not do something stupid like run away. You will hurt your father very much and embarrass this family" she said in a strict tone and I shook my head, I knew she would not understand. "You best be glad you are still not being sent away to France" I shivered slightly remembering that time.

"I hate being a girl" I whimpered and she hugged me tightly and kissed the top of my head.

"There is nothing wrong with being a girl mi amor" she explained and I buried my face in her shoulder hiding away.

"Yes there is! Why can we never be alone then? And when we are a maid is right outside every door and no one is allowed in or out" her eyes widened just a bit.

"Well…because girls are much more fragile then boys are and papa just wants to make sure nothing bad every happens to you" she kissed my forehead and helped me up. "Now it is time for bed dulce niña" she brought me back to my rooms and quietly helped me into bed.

Sweet girl

"Goodnight mama" I whispered and she kissed me again.

"Goodnight mi amor" she kissed Rose, Michelle and Annettebefore leaving back to her rooms, I would not run away I loved my family too much to hurt them like that.

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

I kissed my daughters and went back to my rooms to find Thomas awake "what did Catalina want?" He asked as I got into bed.

"She was just having a hard time sleeping tis all" I lied but he did not seem to notice, "Thomas…Catalina is getting older when do you think it is the right time to tell her about-" he cut me off.

"She is still only 14 years old" he snapped.

"Catalina is becoming a young woman Thomas, she is not a little girl anymore! We cannot hide it from her much longer" I whispered knowing it was a very sensitive topic.

"I am done talking about this Katherine! Enough!" I buried my face in his side and he tipped my face up and kissed me. "When she turns 16 you may tell her but till then she will not know anything" I dropped the subject for now, he always got much more cranky when he was tired.

"Very well Thomas" I sighed.

January 16th 1535

Thomas Boleyn, Viscount of Lincoln

I woke up with Elizabeth laying next to me, she was in a deep sleep as I pulled myself away and got dressed "have breakfast readied" I told the servant and she nodded and set up the table in our chambers. It was only 5 minutes later till her eyes opened and she looked around the room and sat up, "good morning" I said and she jumped.

"Oh! You scared me, good morning" she said sounding flustered.

"The servants are having breakfast readied in our chambers" she got a fresh chemise on and wrapped a dark red robe around herself.

"Thank you" she sat down at our table and could not meet my eyes.

"We did nothing wrong Elizabeth, we are married" she nodded and the door burst open and Michelle ran in.

"Tom! You are still here!" She cried jumping into my arms and wrapping her arms around my neck, Elizabeth clutched the robe tightly.

"Yes Michelle, I am not leaving yet" she sat back in my lap.

"Papa is…he is leaving next week to go to Scotland for the month" she whimpered and finally looked over to Elizabeth and blushed.

"Lady Boleyn!" Lady Middleton snapped upon finding her young charge, "I am sorry Lord Lincoln she snuck away" I nodded and kissed my little sisters head.

"It is alright, go back to your rooms Michelle" she nodded sadly, I felt bad for sending her away but I knew I needed time alone with Elizabeth.

"I am sorry she is very young" I explained and she nodded.

"It is alright" she whispered, we ate quickly and she got changed into a dark blue gown "when are we to leave for Wilton House?" She asked curiously.

"12, the servants are starting to pack things now my siblings are coming with us as you might remember, all but Michelle" she nodded and twisted her fingers in my dark skirts.

"I look forward to spending time with them" I nodded with a smile.

"You need to relax Elizabeth everything will be fine" she smiled to me and nodded.

"I…I will help the servants pack" I nodded and went to find my parents.

"Tom, what are you looking for?" My father asked upon seeing me.

"We are to leave soon, I was wondering if the others were ready to go?" He nodded his head.

"They are ready your mother is just helping with last minute things" it took a minute before all their bags were packed and ready to go.

"Please write me when you get there to let me know they are well and please make sure they are keeping up with their studies" Isabella was also leaving today, most of the guests left last night after the party including the King and Queen.

"I shall make sure" I promised and kissed mama's cheek.

"You will write to me as well, right Tom?" Isabella asked with a smile and I playfully pushed her.

"Unfortunately I think I shall" I hugged her tightly and it took 20 minutes before we left.

"How long do you think it shall take till we get there?" Annette asked curiously peeking out the window.

"A day or two" I said ruffling her hair playfully, "how about you, Rose and Catalina talk to Elizabeth? She is your sister-in-law now" Annette peered over my new wife curiously.

"Why was Michelle not allowed to come with us?" Annette inquired curiously of Elizabeth who's eyes widened.

"Your mother wished her to stay in her care for she is little and just beginning her lessons" she said quickly probably thinking they blamed her for Michelle not being allowed to come with us.

"Oh, well are you going to come with us to Scotney? Mama says we shall be sent there after a few weeks" Elizabeth looked at me uncertainly.

"No, Elizabeth and I shall stay at Wilton till papa returns" they looked slightly disappointed. "We do need sometime alone after all" Rose, Catalina, and Annette giggled while William and Anthony pushed against my shoulders knowing exactly what I meant.

January 18th 1535

I helped Elizabeth from the carriage as my brothers and sisters ran inside happy to get away from the cold "welcome home" I said and she glanced to me before looking back up at the large house she was now mistress of. I knew mama would be at Scotney now and papa on his way to Scotland, there was a peacefulness in the air that told me everything was going to be okay.

"Tis very beautiful" Elizabeth said pulling me from my thoughts.

"Yes, you should see inside" I lead her into the house and gave her a personal tour of the entire house. Before I had been skeptical but now I believe this might actually be a good marriage!
