Catalina Cromwell, Countess of Oxford

I turned 15 last month and today was the day I had to go back to Wolf Hall. I was 7 months now and my stomach felt too big for my small body. Cordelia was 8 months now and I made her promise to write me after she had the baby to tell me what it is like. "Mama promise me you will come as soon as possible!" I pleaded holding her hand tightly.

"I will sweetheart, once Cordelia has her baby she will stay here for a week before returning to Nunnington than we will leave for Wolf Hall" mama said kissing my cheek. I did not want to leave, I looked down at my belly and knew the baby was sleeping. I had already said goodbye to Cordelia for she had gone into her lying in early because she had pains a few times now.

"Catalina we have to leave now" Lord Oxford said and I hugged my papa tightly. Isabella and Lord Devonshire had left along with Tom and Elizabeth. I kissed my sisters cheeks and refused to take Lord Oxford's hand as I got into the carriage. "You will see them soon" he promised as the carriage started down the cobblestone path. "The nursery is completed the only thing we need now is the bedding and I ordered pink, red, blue, and green bedding for I did not know which one you would like best" I looked up at him.

"Red if it is a girl and green for a boy…everyone uses pink and blue" he nodded we went into silence for a while. "Cordelia might have her baby sooner" I finally said breaking the silence.

"Yes I heard that" it was awkward for a moment before I found the courage to speak again.

"Can I have my baby sooner than November?" I questioned.

"The midwife does not seem to think so you appear to be right on schedule, it is better that the baby stay in till its due date for then it will be more healthier" I held my stomach praying the baby stay in as long as it needed.

September 26th, 1535

When we arrived to Wolf Hall it was in the afternoon and he helped me down and immediately brought me to the nursery. It was perfect and took my breath away "it is beautiful" I whispered after a few moments and the baby kicked and I smiled looking down at my belly.

"Can I feel?" He asked and I nodded removing my hands so he could feel the baby move. "It likes to move a lot" he laughed taking his hand off and I nodded in agreement.

"Will it move this much after it is born?" I asked curiously.

"The first couple months all it will want to do is eat and sleep" he said placing his hands back on my belly as the baby began moving again.

"I will write Isabella and ask her questions" I whispered quietly.

"That is probably best for she knows more about babies than I" I agreed with a small laugh before I became hungry.

"Do you have any apples?" I blushed and he ordered a servant to set up lunch for us.

Cordelia Clancey

October 3rd, 1535

I had been having small pains all during the night but now I could no longer take it anymore! "Get my mama!" I ordered a servant and they nodded and quickly left as another pain came.

"Yes sweetheart?" Mama asked entering the room still in her chemise, I hated how Charles could not sleep in my lying in chamber.

"Mama it hurts" I whimpered and she quickly sent for the midwife sitting by my side.

"Are the pains coming quickly?" She questioned pushing my hair from my face.

"No they are far apart right now" I whined and realized that I must have gone into labor. "I am scared" I whimpered grabbing her hand tightly.

"It is going to be alright my love I am here" the midwife said it would be a while before the baby came and mama quickly went and got dressed and informed papa and everyone else in the castle. When she came back the pains were coming a bit more quicker, she dabbed my forehead with a cloth removing the sweat. I tensed feeling a sharp pain come and let out a cry squeezing mama's hand tightly. "Breath Cordelia, you need to breath threw it" she said and I tried my best to do as she said.

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

3 hours passed and the pains were coming closer and closer. I hated seeing my daughter like this, she let out another scream squeezing my hand as tight as she could "mama please get him out" she begged close to tears.

"Breath" I said as she tried holding her breath threw the pain. "Sweetheart just breath threw it" she louder and the midwife looked up at me.

"She needs to push now" I nodded and kissed Cordelia's forehead.

"When the pain comes push as hard as you can" she nodded closing her eyes she sat up a little and squeezed her eyes shut tightly pushing with all she had before falling back onto the pillows. "That was good! Come on mi amor" she let out a string of sobs before sitting up again and pushing "keep pushing!" I said seeing the head, "your almost done! Keep pushing!" Her face was red from strain and covered in sweat.

A little cry was heard from the end of the bed as she fell back against the pillows breathing hard "is he alright?" She panted and I kissed her cheek.

"Your Grace" the midwife said and I stood up to retrieve the baby once it was clean, "tis a girl" I looked down upon my granddaughter and wondered how Cordelia would take it. She believed so much that it would be a boy.

"Mama I want to hold him" I nodded to the midwife and walked towards my daughter and placed the baby in her arms.

"Sweetheart…you had a girl" her smile slipped off her face as she looked at the baby in disbelief. Quickly she pulled the warm blankets from the baby and looked between her legs.

"No…it is impossible I was having a boy" she pushed her back into my arms and I wrapped her up again not wanting her to catch a cold so early in her life.

"Cordelia this is your daughter" I said not believing how she was acting.

"No! I was having a boy she is not mine!" She buried her face in her pillow and it took me a few moments to recover from her behavior.

"I will go show her to your husband than" she started to cry and beg me not to but I left the chamber.

"Lady Wiltshire" Mr. Clancey said shooting up from his spot on the couch.

"She had a girl" he looked down at his daughter in awe as I placed her into his arms.

"Alice, her name will be Alice" I smiled softly but knew I had to break the moment by telling him of Cordelia's reaction.

"Cordelia is distraught" he had sat down to let Michelle and Annette see and looked up at me in confusion.

"Distraught?" He questioned.

"She believed that she was having a boy and…now she is telling me she does not want the her" the smile slipped off his face just as it had done with Cordelia's upon learning of her daughter. He said nothing but handed her back to me pushing the doors to the birthing chamber open "Thomas hold her" I pleaded quickly returning to the room knowing it could get out of hand quickly.

"What the hell is your problem!" He snapped at her, it looked as if the servants have already cleaned her and now she lay in the bed crying her eyes out.

"It was supposed to be a boy!" She cried back to him and I sat down on the bed laying my hand on her shoulder.

"I told you I did not care if it were a boy or girl! She is beautiful Cordelia have you even looked at her? She is your daughter!" He was getting impatient.

"I do not want a girl!" I pulled my hand away from her shoulder, I could not believe how she was acting towards her newborn daughter.

"Mr. Clancey no good can be done arguing with her now, go spend sometime with Alice I will try speaking with her" he left the room slamming the door loudly.

"See! He is upset that I had a girl!" She cried looking up towards me.

"No, Cordelia he is upset at how you are acting! You should have seen his face when I told him he had a daughter! He was happy! He only became upset when I told him you did not want the child!" I stood up from the bed and shook my head unable to think of anything else to say. Without a second word I left the room and went to the parlor where Mr. Clancey held Alice close rocking the small infant back and forth, she had her mothers copper hair but her fathers dark eyes.

"Your Grace" the midwife said awkwardly and I turned to face her.

"Yes?" I questioned.

"I have seen Lady Cordelia's behavior before in other woman, it shall take sometime but she will love the child. The shock of having a baby is sometimes hard to deal with" I nodded and had a maid pay her.

"Just give her time she had all her hopes invested in having a boy" I told Mr. Clancey and he nodded.

"Did Cordelia hire a midwife?" He questioned as Alice grew a bit fussy.

"She did not but I had one employed just in case I shall have her sent for" he reluctantly handed the baby over allowing her to be fed.

"I do not know what to do" he sighed sitting down and Thomas took a seat next to him.

"Katherine take the girls elsewhere" he ordered and I nodded.

"Mama why does Cordelia not want her baby?" Michelle asked as I took them to my chambers to work on our embroidery.

"She wants her baby Michelle right now she is just confused" I said and repositioned her fingers with the needle so she would not prick herself.

"Confused about what?" Annette quickly asked.

"You know how she kept telling everyone she was having a boy? Well she convinced herself so much that now she does not know what to do because she has a girl" I tried my best to explain it hoping they would ask no more questions.

"But-" Michelle started.

"Quit asking questions mama does not want to talk about it anymore" Rose told her younger sister and Michelle made a face and returned to her embroidery.

Cordelia Clancey

I could not believe it. She was supposed to be a boy! If I had a son maybe papa would give me more money and Charles a title. But with a useless girl he will do nothing of the sort! "Cordelia" Charles said walking into my room once again this time holding the baby.

"What do you want?" I snapped facing away from it.

"I want you to see your daughter. She is beautiful, she looks like you" I rolled my eyes.

"What use is a girl? We have no money no good connections! She is utterly useless!" I cried "put her in a nunnery! That is the best we can do for her" he kissed her forehead and placed her down in a cradle by the bed.

"Everything shall be fine, everyone is happy Cordelia you are the only one who is upset and it makes so sense! Your father is the King of England! Her grandfather is the King of England people shall ask for her hand" he stressed and I rolled my eyes.

"I am his bastard daughter! No one would want to marry their son to her! The best thing that could probably happen is she becomes the mistress of a Duke or-" he slapped me unexpectedly. I did not see it coming and held my cheek in pain and shock.

"You will not have you speak about my daughter that way!" He snarled and tears slipped down my cheeks. "Take her back to the nursery" he told a servant and they nodded lifting the baby out of her cradle and taking her away. "How can you act like this? She is your daughter! All you care about is having a son to impress your father! I do not care about titles Cordelia I told you that before! But it is always on your mind! Before we married you said you would love me no matter what happened and I told you the same but I guess your promise meant nothing! I am done with you" he slammed the door shut behind him and it took me a few moments to process his words. He was leaving me. Mama came rushing into the room a few seconds later the maid had probably told her what happened.

"Cordelia are you alright!" She asked fearfully pulling my hand away to inspect the bright red mark. I did not respond to her only stared at the door in disbelief "what happened?" She asked again touching my cheek.

"He left me…" I could not say anything else and she kissed my cheek and got up most likely following where Charles had gone. It hurt just a little but I forced myself from the bed in a daze and wrapped a robe around my sneaking off to the little room next to mine which was made into a temporary nursery till we returned to Nunnington Hall. I could hear small whimpers coming from the small cradle and slowly I looked down on the small baby and swallowed hard.

She had my hair and her fathers eyes and was very pretty, her whimpers stopped as she looked up at me she was so small I found it hard to believe that she was inside me and made me feel like I was huge. How could something so small make my stomach that big? Slowly I leaned down and lifted her up holding her close against me. "Cordelia?" I heard mama ask walking into my rooms.

"In here" she stopped in the doorway and I turned to look at her.

"We cannot find where he went" my heart dropped and I swallowed hard looking down on my daughter. I knew it was my fault that this was happening.

"I thought if I had a boy papa would love me" I whimpered and tears fell down my face, she quickly came forward and hugged me tightly.

"Lady Wiltshire, Lord Suffolk and Buckingham have arrived" I had completely forgotten that they were returning today and it seemed mama did as well.

"Thank you" she said dismissing them. "Sweetheart look at me. Everything will be fine. He will come back he probably just went on a walk to clear his head" I silently prayed she was right. She brought me back to bed and I held Alice close staring down into her little face as she fell back asleep. I knew I had to write Catalina but I would wait till after supper.

Anthony Boleyn, Duke of Suffolk

I had missed Blinking and my family! William and I walked quickly inside the castle and were immediately greeted by our younger sisters. "Cordy had her baby!" Michelle cried out with a large smile on her face.

"She had a girl" Annette quickly added and mama walked out.

"Girls hush yourselves!" She snapped and they grew silent, "are you both well?" She asked kissing our cheeks hugging us tightly.

"Yeah we are" I said with a smile.

"Defiantly glad to be home!" William yawned, he hated studying all day "how is Cordelia?" He asked and mamas face fell just a little and I could not help but grow a bit worried.

"She reacted badly to having a girl and Mr. Clancey has walked away saying he wanted a divorce for she refused to want anything to do with her" mama said and it took me a moment to understand what was going on.

"Is she okay now?" I slightly still confused by all this.

"Yes she is with Alice now but the problem is we cannot find Mr. Clancey…I guess we shall have to wait for him to turn up" she sighed stressfully.

Catalina Cromwell, Countess of Oxford

October 5th, 1535

"Cordelia has had a girl" I said at lunch that day and Lord Oxford looked up.

"See, I told you she did not know what she was really having" I looked down on my plate.

"When she had the baby she did not want it because it was a girl…Mr. Clancey got mad at her for not wanting the baby and stormed out and they have not been able to find him since. Cordelia is distraught but now loves her daughter very much" I whispered and he set his fork down.

"He probably went to visit his parents or something. I cannot see him leaving his newborn daughter in the hands of a woman he believes does not want her" I nodded in agreement.

"But than why leave in the first place?" I questioned and he rubbed his head.

"It is not good for you to be worrying over this, relax for the child I am sure he is fine" he sighed in agitation and I quickly let the subject drop.

"When do I have to go into confinement?" I asked changing the subject.

"The 30th" I chewed my lips nervously.

"My mama said she would be arriving by the 12th and Cordelia is coming as well with her baby so I can meet my new niece" he nodded and stood up.

"I have to go check on the fields today I shall be back around suppertime" he left and I went back to my chambers.

"I do not care if you are a boy or a girl, I promise to love you no matter what!" I whispered to my baby as it moved around in my belly causing me slight discomfort. I could not wait till my family arrived at last because then I shall have something to do other than sit in the parlor sewing shirts and embroidering.

October 12th, 1535

When they arrived it was raining out so I could not be down to greet them like I wanted to. Instead I had to wait almost impatiently in the parlor till they came up "Your belly is bigger now" Michelle said upon seeing me and everyone let out a small laugh as I placed a hand upon my growing belly.

"That is because there is a baby growing in there" I said smiling down upon her and looked in the crowd for my other sister. "Where is Cordelia?" I asked wanting to ask her so many questions.

"She went to Court to be with her father, he has sent a search party out to look for Mr. Clancey" I felt horrible for my sister and silently prayed that they found Mr. Clancey soon.

"Catty!" William and Anthony said enveloping me into a hug. I shrieked and giggled feeling the baby grow excited as well and begin to kick more.

"Boys!" Mama scolded and they let me go so my sisters could hug me.

"Where is Lord Oxford?" Papa asked and I quickly hugged him tightly.

"His father needed to speak with him he said it was urgent so he left for court a few days ago. He told me to tell you that he is sorry he could not be here" he nodded and kissed the top of my head.

The rain outside was getting worse and I bit my lip laying a hand upon my belly as the baby kicked even harder.

Cordelia Clancey

"Hush, Hush Alice" I whispered as the thunder scared her awake. I rocked her in my arms looking outside and prayed that Charles was in some sort of building somewhere and would come home as soon as this storm is over. "Is she alright?" Papa asked walking into my rooms.

"The thunder scared her" I sighed as her cries slowed till she lay in my arms just staring up at me.

"Let me see her" I gently placed her into my fathers arms. She let out a soft baby noise upon the change of arms and he smiled down upon her. "She looks just like you when you were born" I smiled softly and he kissed her forehead placing her back into my arms. Thunder struck again and I looked outside in fear as Alice started to cry again. "Cordelia you need to relax" he said kissing my forehead as she started to cry again.

"I feel like this is my fault though" I whimpered looking back down on my daughter.

"Stop feeling guilty, yes you two got into a fight but it was his choice to run off somewhere. Just relax I have people looking for him and I am sure he will be found soon" I lay my head on his shoulder as he hugged me close.

October 8th, 1535

When I woke up that morning it was to Alice crying and I sat up and fed her, she slept in the same bed as me for I felt I could not have her sleeping in another room or in a cradle that was far from my bed. "Lady Cordelia, the king wants to see you" a messanger said not meeting my eyes and a strange horrible feeling settled in my belly.

"Very well" I finished feeding Alice and burped her before handing her to a maid and getting dressed. Every step I took down to my fathers parlor I felt more alone as everyone avoided me in the halls "papa" I said opening his door and he dismissed everyone in the room.

"Cordelia…sweetheart come here" my legs felt heavy and tears formed in my eyes as I walked over and sat down next to him on the couch.

"What is it?" I whispered in a soft scared voice.

"We….well….Mr. Clancey has been found" tears slipped down my cheeks.

"Is…is he alright?" I whimpered as my body started to tremble.

"He is very ill from the rain" I let out a small happy laugh. At least he was alive! "He is at Blinking Hall they found him in the woods. I have sent doctors to look at him but you must understand he is very sick" I nodded pushing the tears away.

"May I go papa?" I begged.

"Not right now. Let the doctors work Cordelia you will only get in their way and you have Alice to worry about now. You cannot bring her to a place where illness is" I felt so torn. I could not leave Alice but I wanted to be with my husband.

"How bad is he?" I whispered sadly.

"They are not sure if he shall make it" I squeezed my eyes shut.

"He will...he has a daughter to worry about he will make it" papa kissed my forehead holding me tightly.

"Maybe you would like to go to Wolf Hall to be with your mother and siblings?" He asked and I shook my head.

"No papa, Catalina is going to have her baby soon and I do not want to worry everyone with my troubles. I shall stay here if you do not mind" he shook his head with a smile.

"No, I know Margaret and Cecily would like to meet Alice very much" I have not left my rooms since I arrived and did not want any visitors and not I felt guilty after all they were Alice's aunts.

"They can see her today if they wish? After breakfast maybe?" He nodded and they were brought to my rooms.

"Oh Cordy she is so pretty!" Cecily said looking down on her as she napped in her cradle.

"Thank you" I said with pride.

"Shh! You almost woke her up!" Margaret snapped to Cecily and her face softened when she looked back down on the little baby who's fingers twitched in her sleep.

"It is alright Margaret" I promised and James walked in looking for his sisters.

"Mama said it is almost time to return to your studies" he said and they frowned.

"Would you like to see her?" I asked him he walked into the room and looked down into the cradle to where my daughter slept peacefully.

"She is pretty" he said and I smiled.

"Thank you" a few minutes passed before a maid came to get them all and they had to leave for their studies. Once gone I picked Alice up and rocked her in my arms "have no fear sweet one papa is fine I just know he shall get better" I whispered to her and she slept on.

Catalina Cromwell, Countess of Oxford

I had missed my family so much and Rose, Annette, and Michelle absolutely loved the nursery "Lord Oxford has returned" a servant said as we all sat in the parlor having a light lunch. I was a bit nervous as he walked in and greeted but left with my father and brothers to talk about something more important.

"Mama what is going on?" Annette asked her as she watched our father leave.

"I do not know sweetheart" mama said and looked back down to her, "finish eating" once they finished Rose, Annette, and Michelle had to go finish with their studies and I followed mama to see when papa, Lord Oxford, William, and Anthony were all talking about.

"Husband?" Mama asked and papa looked up towards her, "what are you boys talking about?" She asked and I placed a hand on my belly looking into the room curiously.

"They have found Mr. Clancey" he said and we walked further into the room and I stood next to my brothers.

"They have? Is he alright?" She questioned.

"He is gravely ill" I felt so bad for Cordelia she should not have to go through this all when she has just had a baby. Mama, papa, Anthony, and William left to talk elsewhere and I stood awkwardly looking down at the ground, it was only me and Lord Oxford left.

"What did your father want?" I asked but in the back of my mind I knew it had to do with me and the baby.

"He suggested to me that if Lady Cordelia were to lose her husband I should divorce you and marry her" tears filled my eyes and slipped down my cheeks. "I am not going to do as he says Catalina" he went to touch my face and I let out a squeak of fear jumping backwards, I lost balance and was about to fall and he quickly caught me around my waist pulling me against him. I screamed pulling away from him and falling into the couch in tears "I am sorry" he said as I breathed hard holding my belly as a strange pain took over and I felt something wet between my legs. "Catalina are you alright?" He asked and I wrapped my arms around my belly letting out a cry.

"It hurts!" I sobbed in distress and his eyes went wide.

"Just relax! Just breath you need to relax for the baby" I nodded and tried but it was no use! It hurt so much.

"I want my mama" he lifted me up and I tried pushing him away but he held tightly and brought me to my bed.

"Hush, get the midwife!" He ordered a servant than looked back to me. "I will go get your mother you just need to relax and breath" I nodded squeezing the blankets beneath me.

Katherine Boleyn, Princess of Spain, Duchess of Wiltshire

Thomas and I were alone in our chambers for the first time in weeks and he lay on top of me both of us still fully clothed "Thomas!" I gasped as he pushed my skirts above my waist teasing me with his hands. I moaned spreading my legs wider for him when the door burst open I screamed quickly sitting up and pushing my skirts down as Thomas glared angrily at Lord Oxford but the moment I saw his face I knew something was wrong. "Catalina as gone into labor!" He panted out of breath probably running threw the large house to find us.

I quickly shot out of bed and Thomas followed as I rushed to my daughters rooms where her screams could he heard. When I got to her room they had just finished removing her clothing so she was only in her chemise, tears were streaming down her face as her whole body trembled. "Mama I do not want to do this!" She sobbed and I kissed her forehead.

"You have to sweetheart for your child's sake" she shook her head.

"Mama I am little I cannot do this!" She sobbed holding my hand as tightly as she could.

"You are not little Catalina you are 15 years old now. I know it seems scary but imagine what it will be like when you get to hold your baby for the first time trust me my love it will be worth it!" She let out sobs shaking her head and I knew this was going to be a long birth.
