I had fallen asleep next to him and woke up still in my dress from yesterday I stared up at his face before caressing his cheek. "Thomas my love" I whispered and after a few minutes his eyes blinked rapidly before falling on top of me "it is time to get up" I said and he kissed me.

"Have the servants draw a bath" I got up from bed and within the hour the warm bath was ready for him, he relaxed in the warm water as I brushed my hair.

"What happened in Scotland?" I asked placing the brush down and looking towards him.

"Nothing much twas boring" his eyes were closed his head resting against the tub.

"Did you meet anyone?" I questioned and he opened his eyes turning his head to look at me angrily.

"Did I meet who Katherine?" His anger took me by surprise and I jumped a little.

"I did not mean-" he got up and pulled a towel around himself.

"You know very well what you meant?" He snapped holding my towel I quickly stood up, "you think I took a mistress!" I stood up and walked quickly to him. "Do you trust me at all?" He snapped in anger throwing one hand in the air the other clutching the towel.

"I do! I do trust you Thomas it is others I do not trust!" I wrapped my arms around his neck quickly, I did not want to fight right now I was too happy that he was now here.

"You do not trust others? I do not believe you" I lay my hand on his chest.

"Thomas please let us not fight! Please not right now" I pleaded looking into his eyes.

"I am going to get dressed" he went into the dressing chamber and the maids set out a gown, once I was finished getting dressed and my hair done I went into his dressing chamber as he was pulling his coat on.

"Thomas are you still mad at me?" I questioned softly and he glanced towards me and sighed.

"No I am not. I am sorry I reacted as such" he pulled me close to him and kissed me passionately "I have never given you much reason to trust me" he pet my cheek looking down on me "I have missed you so much my love and I swear I have lain with no other woman" I smiled up at him and pecked his lips.

"I have missed you as well Thomas and I must admit there have been a few young children who have slept in my bed since you have left" he laughed and kissed me.

"The girls?" He questioned and I nodded.

"Yes, they did not wish for me to feel alone at night" I heard the door to our chambers open.

"Mama? Papa?" I heard and smiled.

"Our children are awaiting us" and upon hearing our voices they burst into the room.

"Papa!" Michelle cried hugging around his waist "I thought you were a dream" she said a happy sigh.

"Papa can we please not have to attend our studies today? We want to spend time with you" William said to his father with bright eager eyes.

"I guess so" they all cheered happily.

February 10th, 1535

We arrived home to Hever and Thomas held around my waist walking up the walkway "Isabella and Lord Devonshire shall be arriving sometime today and Tom and Elizabeth shall arrive tomorrow" I nodded happy that my family would be together again. Well...somewhat, I had received a letter from Cordelia saying they would be departing from Spain at the end of February and should arrive home early April I could not wait to hold her in my arms again!

Cordelia Clancey

Elizabeth has certainly caught his attention. His eyes followed her everywhere and I had hope for this marriage they might not love each other but at least she would have a child of her own. I myself have found out I was one month pregnant, I have yet to tell Charles but I planned to tonight at supper. I wore my best dress a blue satin with beautiful embroidery and my hair was tied up with a sapphire diadem, "are you sure you will not come to the banquet tonight?" Elizabeth asked as I sat in her chambers.

"I cannot, I promised Charles I would dine with him tonight" I smiled secretly and she dismissed her servants.

"What are you hiding?" She inquired once the rooms was cleared.

"I am pregnant" I said with a smile, "the doctor said one month along" she just looked at me for a little bit, "you will have children of your own one day have no fear" I promised taking her hand.

"I hope so" she whispered and I looked to the clock.

"I have to go he is expecting me, but he is paying attention to you now and I am sure he will give you a baby as well" I kissed her cheek and went to my chambers where supper was already lain out and he at his chair. "I am sorry I took so long I was speaking with Elizabeth" he nodded and pulled my seat.

"Are you well sweetheart? You seem very distant from me lately" he said after a few seconds.

"I am perfectly fine" I said quickly and he looked as if he did not believe me, "in fact I am very well I actually have something I would like to tell you" he leaned back in his chair a worried look on his face.

"And that is?" He asked nervously.

"I am pregnant" he looked shocked and could not speak for a while, "are you happy?" I asked scared that he was upset about the baby.

"Yes, I am very happy!" He stood up and lifted me up from my chair twirling me in the air I laughed out loud "when is it due?" He said falling on his knees placing his hands on my belly.

"Late October" he kissed my stomach and my cheeks started to hurt from so much smiling, "my sister Michelle shall be excited her birthday is October 29th" I could not wait to see my family again, though I would miss Elizabeth I missed my mother and family very much.

"I love you so much" he whispered kissing me.

"And I love you" he got up and hugged me again, "if it is a boy I want to name him after you" he looked from my stomach then to me.

"And if it is a girl?" He asked breathlessly.

"I do not know...I just feel like it will be a boy" he looked at me oddly.

"And how are you so sure?" He questioned.

"Call it a mothers intuition" he laughed and kissed me again.

"This is the very best birthday gift my love, thank you" he said with a smile, his birthday was in a few days "now let us sit down and finish eating" I took my seat again and he sent for anything I asked for.

"When does our ship leave?" I asked curiously.

"February 25th and I have a surprise for you" I sat up in excitement.

"What!" I asked gleefully.

"Your brother Lord Rochford and his wife and daughter shall be returning to England with us, he is arriving here tomorrow afternoon" my eyes went wide with pure joy. I knew things have been tense between mama, papa and George these last few months hoped everything would be better now.

"Really!" He reached across the small table and took my hand.

"Yes, now relax my love" I could not wait to see the look on mama's face when we arrived home and she found George with us and discovered I was pregnant, I would be at least 3 months when we got home.

Thomas Boleyn, Prince of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

I held Sofia in my arms and she giggled as Michelle played little games with her, she and Peter were 7 months now and though they resembled their fathers side they reminded me so much of Isabella when she was a baby. "So Cecily is betrothed now?" Isabella asked.

"Yes, she is a little nervous" I said and they all looked towards me.

"Why is she nervous?" Catalina questioned.

"Because she will have to move to Scotland" I answered quickly, the Princesses knew all about marriage life unlike my daughters and knew what to expect when they got married.

"So? It is not that far away" Rose said flipping through a book of poetry.

"She still is leaving her family" Annette said and everyone looked towards her she was only 9 years old and no one expected a responds like that from her.

"Annette is right" Isabella said shifting Peter in her arms, "no one likes to leaving their family" she added after a few seconds and handed him to Katherine.

"Hello mi amor" she whispered to her grandson.

"Your Grace, Viscount Lincoln has arrived" I nodded and it took a few minutes before he and Lady Elizabeth entered the room.

"Son" I said standing up and hugged him shifting Sofia in my arms.

"They have gotten big" he observed looking at Sofia and Peter, "sister" he said hugging Isabella, "Lord Devonshire" he greeted his brother-in-law.

"It is good to see you and your wife again" Isabella said hugging Lady Elizabeth next.

"Tom! Tom! Do not forget us!" Annette cried in annoyance trying to get her elder brothers attention.

"I did not forget you" he lifted her up and she screamed in surprise.

"Tom please be careful with her" Katherine said in worry as Lord Devonshire took Peter and Catalina took Sofia.

"I would never hurt her by accident mama, it would be purposely" he pretended to drop her and Katherine took a quick step forward.

"Thomas Volley that is not funny" she snapped as he placed Annette down and she raced into her mothers arms laughing.

"Me next! Pretend to drop me next!" Michelle begged throwing her arms up in the air to which Katherine quickly disagreed.

"Enough of this and settle down, you are upsetting Peter and Sofia" I said and they all reluctantly sat back down in their chairs.

"Was your journey well?" Katherine asked Lady Elizabeth.

"Yes, it was quite nice, thank you" she seemed like a nice girl though I never doubted her to be.

"Did you like Wilton?" Rose asked.

"Yes it was very beautiful" after a few minutes of questioning we went back into the calmness of playing with the twins and talking idly.

"I hear Cordelia is coming back soon" Bella said and her siblings looked up eagerly.

"She is leaving near the end of February she said in her last letter she should be back around April" Katherine said with a smile, I knew she missed Cordelia very much as did the King.

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

After an hour Thomas, Tom, William, Anthony and Lord Devonshire all went out hunting, "I cannot wait till Cordelia returns! You will like her very much" Rose told Elizabeth who nodded in agreement.

"From what I am told she seems to be very nice" I watched her closely as she spoke of Cordelia, though my daughter was older now with a husband of her own I still felt the need to protect her from anyone who dare question her. I hated when they called her names, she never did anything to anyone and yet they immediately have something against her, I prayed that her time in Spain was met with kindness and not the rudeness of others.

"When are you and papa going to Court?" Catalina asked curiously.

"Soon, I believe your father wishes for you to join us for sometime" her smile brightened but I knew the others were going to have a problem with it.

"Can we go to mama?" Michelle asked and I felt bad.

"No, Catalina must go because she is the eldest sweetheart but you will come to Court soon" I promised but it did not help anything and from that time on she was in the most horrible of moods. When suppertime arrived the boys returned from their hunt and we all retired to get ready.

"I have missed you very much my love" Thomas whispered after pinning me up against my vanity my breathing was shallow as he kissed my neck, I had just finished dressing in a grey gown.

"I have missed you as well" I answered breathily as his hands caressed my waist.

"Your Grace's?" I heard Lady Middleton say and could not help but let out a small whimper as Thomas pulled away.

"Yes?" Thomas snapped angrily.

"I am sorry for bothering you but Lady Michelle is giving me a very hard time getting dressed" I let out a breath and kissed him once more.

"I must go deal with her" I sighed and went to the girls dressing room, "go to supper" I told the older girls who nodded and left. I found Michelle sitting under the vanity not dressed "sweetheart, get out from under there at once" she buried her face in her knees ignoring me, "young lady do not make me get your father" I sat down on the floor in front of her and watched her for a few minutes.

"Leave me alone" she whimpered.

"Mi amor what is bothering you?" I asked softly.

"You are taking Catty with you but you will not take us" her voice was muffled from her face being buried in her knees.

"It is not because we favor Catalina sweetheart, she is betrothed to the Earl of Oxford and your father thinks it is best she gets to know him a bit" I reached for her and she flinched away.

"Katherine is she alright?" Thomas asked walking into the room and his face grew concerned as he saw her hiding under the vanity.

"Papa!" She bolted out from under the vanity and hugged him tightly.

"Lady Michelle!" Lady Middleton gasped, Michelle was only in her chemise.

"Tis alright" Thomas sighed hugging her, "what is it Michelle?" He asked and she looked up at him with heartbroken eyes.

"Why is Catalina going to Court with you but we are not allowed?" She said in tears and I slowly stood up from my spot on the floor.

"Because she is older" he kissed the top of her head, "Catalina is 14 years old" he wiped the tears away from Michelle's cheek with his thumb, "it is not that we do not love her more or anything like that sweetheart it is just she has to be with us. I want her to get know Lord Oxford a little more so when she marries him it is not like marrying a stranger" Michelle took a little step back and looked up at Thomas.

"How come everyone else is going to marry someone but me and Annette?" Thomas looked into my eyes before answering.

"Tom will find you and Annette a husband have no fear, papa is getting old and when you have 5 daughters you need someone's help to find marriages for them all" she finally smiled looking up at him.

She was only 6 and did not need to know that finding a marriage for her was harder because she and Annette were not only adopted but were our 2 youngest.

"That is your fault papa!" He laughed lowly.

"I guess it is my fault, now go along and have Lady Middleton dress you for supper" she nodded and I took his hand as we left the room.

"Thomas have you at least got any offers?" I questioned softly.

"No, not yet but you must remember they are still young" I nodded hating to think that my daughters might end up unmarried, "Tom is going to find them someone my love have no fear" he kissed me and I decided to let the subject drop.

February 10th 1535

"Katherine we must hurry" Thomas said and I nodded my head looking back down at Michelle who was crying.

"Papa please I want to go!" She cried to her father.

"Sweetheart I promise to write as soon as we arrive and I will see you again soon" she shook her head and hugged around my waist tightly, "Rose please take care of your sister" she nodded and hugged me tightly.

"I will mama" I kissed her cheek and hugged Annette kissing her.

"Anthony, William please do not give Tom and Elizabeth a hard time and make sure you study hard we shall be checking in" I told my sons who smiled and hugged me.

"Do not doubt us mama! We would never neglect our studies" William said and I shook my head as he smiled mischievously.

"I will miss you all very much" fortunately Tom and Elizabeth were staying at Hever with them so they would not be alone, Isabella and Lord Devonshire were coming as well with Peter and Sofia and I knew Catalina was happy to have one of her sisters going. We would be at Court till the end of April when Cordelia should arrive back, I have already spoken with Thomas and we decided to bring our

children to Court at the end of March though I wished it to be sooner.

"Bye mama! Bye papa!" Tom lifted Michelle up as she cried harder. I looked out the window of the carriage my heart breaking as Michelle tried to get away from Tom to run after the carriage.

"No tears Ma Cherie" Thomas said taking my hand, Catalina leaned against me and I wrapped an arm around her.

"I hate leaving them" I whimpered and Catalina looked up at me.

"You will see them soon mama do not be sad" she whispered still sleepy.

February 12th 1535

We arrived at Court today and Catalina was excited we had changed in the dressing chamber before attending the banquet "Catty!" Princess Cecily said hugging her tightly, "I have missed you! And you

Nana!" She hugged me next as did Edward, James and Margaret each one excited to see me.

"You all have gotten bigger!" I said in shock, it felt like ages since I last saw them.

"Of course we are getting bigger Nana we cannot just stop growing" Edward said with a smile that reminded me of Anne, he certainly was her son.

"You are right" Henry and Queen Kathryn walked over and I dipped into a curtsy.

"Your Majesties" I said in respect and he allowed me and Catalina to rise.

"Lady Catalina, tis a pleasure to see you again my daughters have been asking for you for what seems forever now" Catalina blushed and glanced to Cecily.

"Papa can we go dance now?" Cecily begged and he gave his permission and Cecily was swept away.

"Wiltshire, your children are well?" Henry asked Thomas who nodded.

"Quite so, thank you for asking Your Majesty" they began to talk politics and Queen Kathryn and I spoke.

"Your daughter, Lady Devonshire, resembles Your Grace very much" she said and I smiled softly looking towards my daughter who was speaking with Edward.

"She has her fathers attitude though" the Queen smiled.

"Princess Charlotte has turned two, it is said she resembles Mary very much" I swallowed hard thinking of my granddaughter, King Henri kept his word and I was sent regular portraits and letters on her health and well being as was the same for Prince Harri, but it did not stop the longing to actually see and hold her.

"Yes, Mary would be quite proud of her" I knew it was because of that awful sweating sickness she got when she was younger that she was now dead, her health was never the same after that she was always prone to getting sick. It made my heart ache when I talked of Mary, the memories were still painful.

"I am sorry if I caused you any pain" she said sympathetically.

"Tis alright, you had good intentions" I smiled at her and she nodded, "how are the children?" I asked changing the subject.

"They are very well, Princess Joan will be leaving in April to come here to England" I knew the impending marriage meant a lot to Henry, it was his eldest son and he wanted him to have a family of his own with a son to solidify the throne and the Tudor name.

"Cordelia is due back in April, I cannot wait to see her again" we walked idly for a few hours about anything.

Catalina Boleyn

"He is not that bad" Cecily told me quietly as she looked at Gregory Cromwell, Earl of Oxford.

"Lord Oxford looks at me as if I am something to buy and I do not like it at all" I complained quietly.

"That is how men are Catalina" Cecily sighed as if it were thee simplest of things.

"I do not care! I am not a horse to be bought and sold" she laughed shook her head.

"Calm yourself Catalina it is not worth arguing over" Cecily seemed content with her life, how she was being sold to Scotland for a price but I was not content with it at all. I dare not say anything to my father because I knew he would get very mad but I did not want to marry Lord Oxford either, I did not wish to marry at all! Cecily left to dance with James and I stood by myself for a few moments.

"Lady Catalina" I heard as curtsied to Thomas Butler, Earl of Ormond.

"Lord Oxford" I said with respect, I remember Isabella telling me he was a horrible man and she would rather be sent to France then marry him, I never understood why.

"I hear you are to marry Lord Oxford" I nodded feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"That I am" I looked towards my parents who seemed to be in a deep discussion about something and I wanted nothing more then for papa to look over and make Lord Ormond go away.

"Congratulations" I nodded my head and he looked towards Isabella, "I hear your sister had twins, a boy and a girl" I again nodded.

"Yes, Peter and Sofia" I bit my lip as he gazed down at me, "I am sorry My Lord but I must go speak with my mother about something important" he nodded and watched me walk to mama.

"I wish to retire now" I told her and she stopped mid sentence to papa and looked at me strangely.

"Are you sure? We have not even been here an hour yet" she questioned.

"I know but all the riding has made me tired" papa kissed mama goodnight and she brought me to my room which was next to theirs and helped me undress for the night. "Are you sure you are alright?" She asked me as I got into bed.

"I am mama" she looked at me for a moment before kissing my forehead.

"Tis not like you to wish to retire early from a banquet" she sat down on my bed and caressed my cheek as I relaxed back into the pillows.

"I am tired mama that is all" I lied, I did not want to admit that Lord Ormond made me profoundly uncomfortable.

"Very well, goodnight mi amor" she kissed me again and left the room. I stayed awake for a while not really tired at all I wished Rose, Annette and Michelle were here with me right now so at least I could have someone to talk too, even William and Anthony would be nice!


Please leave a review! It would be really nice! I had my laptop back for one day and the power supply blew! They gave me a rental for the next two weeks till I hopefully get mine back!
