Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

We celebrated Thomas's and Rose's birthday on the same day, Rose was now 15 while Thomas turned 58. Life here has been quiet and reserved, Tom and Elizabeth left back for Wilton and Isabella and Lord Devonshire went back to Chatsworth. "Catty, would you like to come play with us?" William asked her gently and she quickly refused. Catalina was such a strong girl and was taking this far better then I was but even that did not stop the nightmares.

"Are you sure?" I asked her softly, it was the first time in weeks we all were allowed outside because of the rain.

"I am fine right here" she sighed and leaned against me a little.

"Mama! Mama! Look at what we found!" Michelle called out and I bit my lip.

"Sweetheart I have to go see your sisters" she nodded and looked to her new governance, Mistress Brooks.

"Can I please go inside?" She asked before I stood up.

"You may" I said and watched her leave with Mistress Brooks before going to my other daughters. They had found a small kitten in the bushes and Michelle was determined to bring it back inside with her.

"Please mama! It is only a small kitten!" She begged and I bit my lip looking at the small thing.

"Michelle...Triste will not like the kitten, puppies and kittens do not get along" I tried to explain.

"I will keep the kitty in my room!" I took a deep breath looking at the young girl.

"You have to go ask your father" all the girls quickly ran towards the castle and I quickly followed expecting Thomas to say no. He was not a big cat fan and preferred dogs.

"Papa?" Michelle asked, the girls must have chosen her to go ask because she was the youngest and Thomas had a harder time telling her no.

"Yes?" He asked without looking up.

"Can we please keep it? Papa it was all alone outside with no mama, papa or brothers and sisters!" He looked up to see the small kitten in her hands.

"You know how I feel about cats sweetheart" he sighed but I could already see him crumbling.

"But papa I do not want the kitty to be all alone" her brown eyes were wide with tears and he swallowed hard.

"Fine, bring it to me" all the girls ran forward and he smiled seeing them, "using your sister?" He asked and they giggled.

"Do you know what it is papa?" Rose asked curiously.

"It is a girl" he said and they all giggled taking the kitten back in their arms.

"You are far too soft on them" I said with a smirk and he got up and kissed me.

"Where is Catalina?" He asked and my smile slipped off my face.

"She went to her room" he nodded and took my hand, "her wedding has been set for April 12th" I nodded looking down.

"Why is Catty getting married before Rose?" Annette asked curiously.

"Because that is what Lord Oxford wanted" he left it at that and I went to speak with Catalina why he helped the girls with the kitten.

"Catalina?" I asked and found her laying on the bed, "are you alright?" I whispered in concern placing a hand on her forehead.

"I do not feel well" her voice was small and I squeezed my eyes shut.

"Your father and Lord Oxford have decided that you will be married on April 12th" she started to cry and it broke my heart. "Do not cry my love" I begged pulling her into my arms.

"You are sending me away!" She sobbed and I kissed her forehead.

"No we are not! Sweetheart everything is going to be alright, I will make sure no one hurts you" she lay in my arms quietly before her sisters came in.

"Catty! Look what we found!" Rose placed the kitten on the bed and Catalina sat up and looked down on the brown tabby cat.

"We have named her Lily cause we found her near the lilies!" Michelle said brightly.

"Lily is a pretty name" Catalina whispered.

"Papa said we could keep her" Annette said and I got up from the bed, they continued to talk and I went to Thomas's study.

"She is upset, she thinks we are getting rid of her" I said quietly he closed his eyes and put his quill down.

"That is not what I am doing Katherine and you know that. This is what is best for her" he said looking up to me, "Katherine do not make promises to her that you cannot keep" he sighed and a tear slipped down my cheek.

"You cannot just send her away with a man she barley knows! She is terrified Thomas" I cried and he stood up angrily.

"DO YOU NOT THINK I KNOW THAT! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY KATHERINE? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO!" He yelled in anger and I jumped in fright. Neither of us said anything for what seemed forever I could not believe that he had actually yelled at me like that.

"I want you to be her father" I said at last and quickly left the room.

Cordelia Clancey

I was 2 months now and though no one could tell I was with child yet I was very happy, Charles went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for me and I had everything I needed. George, Renee and Jane were with us and at first Jane was shy and nervous but now she was a very happy and outgoing child. "Did you send a letter to mama or papa telling them about the child?" George asked that evening as we dined together.

"No, I..well we wanted it to be a surprise" I said with a smile placing a hand on my belly.

"How baby get there?" Jane asked Renee who let out a soft laugh.

"When you are older I shall tell you" she promised and Jane nodded probably knowing that is all she will get.

"When we get there will Nana and Grandpapa be waiting for us?" She then asked George hopefully.

"We are going to go to Hever Castle and surprise them" she let out a sigh.

"That is a lot of surprises" she said with a soft voice and I could not help but laugh.

"But very good surprises" Charles announced and I agreed.

March 28th 1535

We arrived much earlier then we planned and Jane was happy because today was her birthday. It felt so good to be back in England and I could not wait to see my family! We had arrived yesterday and were a few minutes away from Hever. George said it was best to send a messenger ahead so they could be somewhat ready but we decided not to tell them about George and his family.

"Not much has changed" George said seeing the castle come into view.

"Nothing ever really does around here" I said happily, I could not wait to see mama! When the carriage stopped I could not stop smiling.

"Lady Cordelia, your family is waiting for you in the parlor" It was raining out so I did not expect them to be waiting outside for us.

"Hurry papa!" Jane cried running inside trying to get out of the rain.

"CORDELIA!" I heard my sisters cry and I was hugged tightly as soon as I walked into the room.

"We have missed you so much!" Michelle said looking up at me with sparkling eyes.

"I have missed all of you as well! I am so happy to be back and have so much to tell you but first Charles and I have brought you all a gift" I looked up to my parents who had a serious look on their faces as Catalina stayed close to them.

"Hello" George said and shock resonated around the room.

"George!" William and Anthony said and went to greet him, after all the greetings mama told me Isabella, Lord Cavendish and their children would be here also along with Tom and his wife.

"I have something to tell you all" I said as we sat down to have something to eat and drink.

"What is it sweetheart?" Mama asked smiling softly at me.

"I am 2 months with child" I admitted with a smile and Charles took my hand reassuringly.

"Catty is going to have a baby too" Michelle said quietly and their was utter silence.

"Michelle!" Papa snapped and her eyes went wide looking to him, I looked at Catalina who was staring at the floor with vacant eyes.

"Is it true?" I asked gently.

"Yes, not that it is any of your business!" She snapped glaring at George and I and quickly got up and ran back to her rooms.

"Children, can you leave the adults to talk for a bit? Maybe you can show Jane your toys?" They nodded solemnly and left.

"What happened?" George asked.

"Lord Ormond forced himself on her in February" I gasped in disbelief.

"He...why?" I whispered.

"To get back at us for breaking the betrothal between him and Isabella" Charles squeezed my hand tightly. "Lord Oxford is going to marry her on April 12th and will accept the child" papa said and I could tell it upset mama. This was not the homecoming I expected.

Catalina Boleyn

I lay on mama and papa's bed with silent tears slipping down my cheeks Cordelia probably believed I willingly slept with him! And what right does George have judging me he has been gone for so long and obviously does not care for this family. "Catalina?" I heard and glanced to see Cordelia standing in the doorway, "can I please speak with you?" She asked hopefully and I nodded. "Mama says you are due in November" she said sitting down next to me.

"The beginning" I whispered to her.

"I am due late October, maybe I could help you? After all I would have just had my child" I closed my eyes for a moment.

"I do not know, you would have to ask Lord Oxford...mama and papa are sending me away to live with him after we marry" I whimpered.

"Catalina you are getting married it is what happens, you cannot live with mama and papa and be married to Lord Oxford" I buried my face in the pillow.

"I am so scared" I whimpered before bursting into tears Cordelia quickly lay down next to me and hugged me tightly. "I do not know how to have a baby! I do not know anything and they are sending me away when I need them the most!" I cried tears staining her dress.

"Have you spoke with Lord Oxford? Maybe he will be kind and let you spend the rest of your pregnancy here?" She whispered in my ear.

"Everything is falling apart Cordy...I am too scared to even write him, I would give anything just to take this all away" she kissed my forehead.

"You do not have to keep the child...you could give it away for someone else to raise" I shook my head quickly.

"I could not send it away tis not its fault what that mean man did" I hesitantly placed a hand on my stomach. "Mama cries a lot not and her and papa fight all the time, it is my fault! Sometimes I feel like I should not even be alive" I whispered the ending and she sat up grabbing my arms tightly.

"Do not ever say that! Catalina Boleyn nothing is your fault! You know very well mama and papa always fight! And mama cries because she loves you and does not want to see you hurt" she stared into my eyes as she spoke and I swallowed hard.

"I am scared to close my eyes Cordy...I have to sleep with mama and papa and even then I do not get enough sleep" she took me back into her arms and I rest my head on her shoulder.

"It is alright Catty, no one can hurt you now, I promise you are safe" I closed my eyes and she hummed a soft lullaby.

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

"Mama...Papa I am sorry-" George started but I cut him off with a hug.

"Do not even say it George, everything is fine now" I said kissing his cheek.

"Can we come back in now?" Anthony asked peeking through the door.

"You may" Thomas said and they all quickly returned.

"Papa! They has pony!" Jane said in excitement pointing to her aunts.

"Tom bought it for us when we stayed with him at Wilton" Annette said brightly.

"When are the others to arrive?" George asked curiously.

"Maybe tomorrow sometime" I sighed looking out the window, "hopefully the weather lightens up" it has been so rainy lately and it did not help my mood at all.

"Do not worry mama" Rose said softly taking my hand and I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Mama can I get a pony?" Jane asked Renee with a large smile, it took Thomas a long time to get over the fact she was barren.

"You must ask your father sweetheart"

March 29th 1535

It was mid afternoon when the rest of my children arrived, the weather was rainy as usual. "How are things?" Isabella asked holding Sofia who smiled when she saw me.

"Good as they can be, go up to the parlor" I said kissing both her and Tom. Elizabeth and Lord Devonshire followed their spouses and Michelle smiled pulling my gown.

"Are they going to be surprised?" She whispered and I nodded.

"Yes love I think they shall be" things have been so dreary and miserable lately that it felt nice to actually have something to smile about. Finally the family was back together the King was probably going to arrive in a few days for I sent a letter last night telling him of Cordelia's arrival back in England but left out the fact she was with child.

"George! Cordelia!" Isabella said in excitement and handed me Sofia hugging them both tightly, "I am so happy to see you both! George you must meet my children! Cordelia you will be surprised to see how big they are getting!" She said with large sparkling eyes. "This is Peter and this is Sofia" she introduced pointing to Peter who was in his fathers arm and Sofia who hid her face in my neck.

"They are tiny" Jane whispered from Renee's arms.

"How old are they now?" George asked.

"They are 8 months now they were born in July" he nodded and Sofia leaned over reaching for Catalina who took her with a soft smile.

"I am to have a child as well" Tom and George still have not spoken and I prayed there was no resentment between them over titles.

"Really! When?" Isabella asked bursting with energy.

"She is going to have the baby on my birthday!" Michelle announced with a smile.

"How about we all calm down and sit down?" Thomas said to our over enthusiastic children who quickly complied.

"How long are you in England for?" Rose asked George curiously.

"A few months, we cannot be gone too long though, Renee is the governance to Charlotte and I oversee Harri's household" it broke my heart thinking about my grandchildren, I wish I could see them more then in a picture all the time.

"They are well?" I asked and he nodded quickly.

"Jane tells Charlotte about you all the time" Renee said quietly, it was the first time she has spoken since she arrived.

Jane blushed a little hiding her face in Renee's neck "I tell her about everyone" Jane quickly added.

"Mama?" I heard and turned to look at Cordelia.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Catty needs you" I nodded and quickly stood up.

"I will be right back" I promised and they all nodded, "is she alright?" I questioned as we walked briskly back to my chambers.

"She is well she just wants to ask you something" I nodded and Cordelia stayed in the outer chambers as I walked into the bedchamber.

"Catalina? Cordelia said you wished to speak with me?" I asked softly as I sat down on the bed next to her.

"Do you I have to leave after I get married?" She asked peeking up to look at me.

"I am not sure mi amor" I admitted sadly, "your father and I cannot make that decision" I heard her let out a sob burying her face in the pillow. I knew she was not yet ready to be married but there was nothing I could do. "I wish it did not have to be this way...you have to talk with him maybe he will understand" I stroked her blonde hair lovingly.

"No he will not! He is going to take me away from here!" She sobbed and I leaned down hugging her close.

"You will never know until you speak with him, write him a letter, what harm can it do?" After she stopped crying I had a servant bring her a quill and ink and let her write the letter.

Gregory Cromwell, Earl of Oxford

"Are you sure son?" My father asked yet again, we were on the topic of my upcoming marriage to Lady Catalina Boleyn.

"Father she is a favorite of the King, if I back out now it would make me look very dishonorable" I said for the millionth time.

"She is pregnant with another mans child!" He snapped in anger, I knew it was his own dislike for the Duchess that fueled it. Lady Wiltshire was a devout Catholic and though she went to service obediently everyone knew she still practiced the Catholic faith.

"Father that was not her fault...we are to be married in April with the Kings blessing you always told me to please the King I am doing that now by marrying Lady Catalina" I said calmly.

"What if she has a son?" He hissed in annoyance, "it shall not be any grandchild of mine" I took a deep breath needing patience with him.

"If she has a son I will deal with it then...pray God she has a useless daughter though" he rolled his eyes and left back to his own chambers.

"I think it is very amiable what you are doing" a servant said and I looked up to see a young woman.

"Amiable?" I laughed picking up my goblet up, "I am doing what I must to survive at Court, Lady Boleyn has grown in front of the King and he obviously cares for her. He was angered by what happened that night, the smart thing for me to do is to go through with he engagement and earn his respect" she only stared at me for a while "go about your work" she gathered her linen and left.

March 30th 1535

"Lord Oxford, a letter has arrived for you" the manservant said at breakfast.

"Whom is it from?" I questioned.

"Lady Catalina Boleyn" even my father looked up quickly.

"Let me see it" I sighed and opened it aware my father was watching me closely, I scanned over it quickly for there was not much written.

"What does she want?" My father asked impatiently.

"She asks that after our marriage she be allowed to stay with her parents until the child it born" he placed his fork down.

"Does she plan on leaving it with her parents?" He sighed in disappointment.

"I am not sure, you sound disappointed" he took a deep breath.

"I only thought she was writing to tell you that she lost it, tis the best thing for the situation" I knew he only meant best but his words came out harsh and uncaring.

"If she loses it fine this is my problem father and I can handle it" I finished eating and went hunting with Prince Edward who as well cared for Lady Catalina very much, twas his aunt. I was not heartless enough to wish the death of the infant but I knew it would help make my situation better, it was a precarious position I was in and I had to be careful with everything I did. I needed to pay a visit to Hever soon to see how the Lady Catalina was and if it would be better for her to remain at Hever whilst she was with child.
