WARNING: In this chapter there will be a detailed graphic adult scene that is not for reviewers 18 and under.

Also it has come to my attention that Katherine in my story is not as strong as in other stories or in real life. Well she used to be the strong woman before Henry started to beat her. The abuse wore down on her self esteem and courage. But, the best thing she did was divorce the king and slowly but surely the Katherine of Aragon we all know and love will be the strong woman who won't back down to anyone. She will be great and she will be one of the greatest female powerheads in all Europe if not the world. She will follow in her mothers footsteps in many ways. Her courage, selfesteem and many other things she lost will return. I can't explain further because it will spoil things.

Now, about Brookfield. This is some info about Brookfield you should know because Brookfield will be a major part in a year in this story.

Brookfield itself is South Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex. Look at England on a map, Brookfield in my story takes up a good bit of South England.

Brookfield came to be one of the strongest strongholds in the world. That is because it can not be invaded due to the massive wall protecting it. It has about 30 feet of pure metal between the outer and inner wall. It took many decades to build. During the reign of King John, brother of Richard the Lion Heart, he was in debt and taxes went up. The rich Lords feared that king John would take up arms against them and take their money. There were 200 Lords who banded together and paid king John $150 million crowns to purchase South Surrey, Hampshire, and Sussex and do with it as they please. King John was so blinded by the millions that he allowed it. The money that the king was given made the Plantagenats finacially the most powerful family amongst others in Europe for generations. King John and the Pope at that time signed a legal document that allows Brookfield to be a private Catholic community (for the rich and powerful). Once the massive wall came up the Brookfielders became secluded. The richest family in Brookfield became the Divine family, that is the Barquettes. They are in charge of Brookfield, though it is a independant piece of land, it is still apart of England. The only thing is that every outsider is required to have the proper invitation from a family or resident who are residing in Brookfield. Including their Majesties needs the proper invitation. Even Katherine, when she was Queen, she needed Jane's invite to enter Brookfield.

Also Brookfield is run like a kingdom, but it is not. They have a seperate army from the rest of England. Brookfield has a massive army of 600,000 special trained soldiers. Boys and girls are trained in many things and many courses. The Brookfielders mainly train their children in religon, business, all styles of combat and fighting, and many courses of studies. Both girls and boys have this training, but the men join the army if they want to. The Divine Army is so big because all children are trained in mallitary and combat styles from the age of three.

Brookfield also has it's own armada. Every defence a kingdom has, Brookfield has.

Brookfield Women. Brookfield women are strong and proud Catholics. In Brookfield everyone is treated with respect and equality, even the servants. All residents of Brookfield is rich and powerful.

Again I want to warn you about the adult situations in this chapter. If you are under 18 or prudish please do not read the flashback.

Edward Seymour

My brother and I raced to the thief. His horse was startled by our presence. We took caution as we neared the thief. He wore a dark purple cloak and it's hood covering his head.

"Right in the chest." Thomas observed in laughter. As he carefully tried to removed the cloaks' hood he stumbled back with haste.

"What is your problem?" I said to him in a hushed irritated tone. All Thomas did was point to the thief. He knelt on one knee and moved the cloaks hood. What my eyes saw, I shall never forget. He was a she, and she was Princess was hysterical, I could not believe it. Princess Mary was bleeding from her chest and mouth. Immediately we went to get help.

Catalina

I awoke with a start, Alejo was also awakened by my startled sudden movement."What is it Catalina?" Alejo asked as he touched my arm. Sleep clouded his voice."You are covered in sweat." he said as he felt my far head.

"I had a horrible dream. There were two snakes that were baring their fangs and strucked at a purple rose. The rose had a pearl in it's bud." I said the last part in a whisper. My voice was shaky and the overwhelming feelings of worry came over me like a plague.

"It was only a bad dream, come and let's get you in a clean chemise." Alejo said as he gently held my hand tightly. He then rose from our bed and went to my closest. I followed him and he helped me change into a fresh chemise.

"Alejo, I am not tired anymore, I am going to sit on the balcony and look at the stars. But you go to bed, you need your rest." I said to him softly. He nodded and came to kiss me. I went to the cradles and made sure Bella and Nicky was still covered in their blankets. I then walked to the balcony and sat down. The stars were glowing brightly and so very beautiful. I watched them until they slowly disappeared into the sunrise. Only my first born was on my mind. I had a numbing feeling in my chest.

White Hall Palace

6:00am

John, Edward, and Thomas Seymour raced as fast as they could to White Hall Palace. Strapped to Thomas's horse was the light brown mare of Princess Mary. When they arrived at the palace, they hopped from their horses and ran inside. They paid no attention to the palace guards running after them. People cleared the way for them. When they ran into court, they quickly ran to the King's feet, startling everyone. King Henry was about to go to Mass but was startled like everyone else."What is the meaning of this!" The King yelled. The three was surrounded by guards with spears at their necks.

"Your Majesty!" Edward Seymour began nervously.

"Speak!" The King yelled in annoyance. Edward took a deep breath for what he was about to tell the King may surely get him killed.

"Last night my younger brother and myself were watching our estate incase thieves was planning to rob us. We saw a person fitting the description, my brother struck the thief with an arrow. Forgive us Your Majesty, it was so dark. We did not see her face." Edward finished. The King's eyes widen. He rushed to Edward and grabbed him by his throat.

"What are you saying!" King Henry raged. Edward swallowed hard.

"Forgive us, we did not know it was the Princess." King Henry let Edward go and almost stumbled back. So many things went through his mind. His pearl, his baby may be dead now, and it was all because of him. His drunkenness and ill behavior.

"Where is she!" the King screamed, he was almost in tears. The courtiers around gasped at the revelation that their Princess could be dead. John Seymour spoke up.

"She is at my home at Wolf Castle." the King took a deep breath to get his mind together.

"Charles! Saddle my fastest horse and send messenger to Katherine in Brookfield!" King Henry yelled. Soon he raced from court and to the stables. Charles followed him. It took them an hour to get to Wolf Castle. As soon as he hopped from his horse he ran inside."Where is she!" he demanded. The physician and attendants showed him to the room they placed her in. As soon as the King entered all bowed to him. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the condition his daughter was in. She was pale from lost of blood. Her shoulder and chest was heavily bandaged. She was unconscious but was still breathing. "She looks so helpless", the King thought out loud. He slowly walked over to her and sat on the bed. He gently picked her up and held her close to his chest and rocked her slowly. "I am so sorry." he sobbed. "My child, my sweet pearl, I did not mean it. I love you so much, sweetheart. Please." he whispered and sobbed. He stayed and held his child close to him. He did not care who looked. He held his daughter like his mother held him as a child. His arms protectively but gently held her, in that moment he regretted everything he had ever done that hurt her. Henry is a God fearing man, he did not pray that often because he got everything he wanted all his life. In an instant he began to pray in Latin, all the words and memories with his mother came back to him. He prayed and prayed as he held his child. He begged God to give her another chance to live. He continued to pray as he sat there holding his daughter.

Brookfield

Persèon Manner

8:30am

I had just finished feeding the twins when a guard came and informed me that a messenger from His Majesty has come. I nodded to him."Yes, let him enter on my invite." I said. I went down stairs to the comfort room and waited patiently for him. I began to eat a piece of fruit as the messenger was shown in by a servant.

"Your Highness!" he said frantically while he bowed. Before I could say anything the hair on the back of my neck stood up. A cold chill went down my spine. I took a deep breath and calmed myself.

"What is this message you have come to bring me?" I asked as I recognized him as Anthony Knivert.

"Your Highness, the Princess Mary was in a terrible accident." he said, I put my hand protectively on my stomach. My heart began beating fast. I am three months pregnant, and fear of loosing my child gripped me. Quickly I got up from my chair.

"Where is she." I said as tears form in my eyes.

"She is currently recovering from surgery at Wolf Castle, My Lady." he said. My heart sunk. My sweet child has had surgery.

"What's wrong!" Jane said as she entered the room with Alejo behind her. I turn to them and wipe my tears with my hands.

"Mary have been hurt, she is recovering from surgery." I said, they both gasped. Within 20 minutes, Alejo, Jane and I were ready to leave for Wolf Castle. We raced there in a carriage while Mr. Knivert lead the way on horse back. It was almost 10 in the morning when we arrived there. As soon as I entered the castle I was shown to where she was recovering. I burst through the door and stopped in my tracks as I saw her. I walked slowly to her bedside. My child was so pale and her skin was warm from fever ."Mary! My child.". I sobbed when I sat on her bed. I leaned down and hugged her. Her left shoulder and chest was heavily bandage. I cried, I was so overwhelmed with grief. I am pregnant with one child and on the verge of loosing another. Alejo and Jane came and comforted me.

"Your highness, His Majesty is here." an attendant informed me. I lift myself from Mary and turned just as the King walked in the room.

"Katherine..." I did not let him finish.

"How could you allow my child to get hurt. Where were you!" I was filled with so much rage that I slapped him across the face after I yelled to him. There was a gasped in the room as my bright red hand print glowed on his face. The tears ran down my face and unto my chest. "I trusted you with her." I said as I beat his chest. He grabbed my shoulders and noticed my condition.

"You are with child," he whispered with widen eyes. I disregarded his question.

"Who hurt her." I said as I made my way back to Mary's bedside. I caressed her cheek and felt her head. There was a small water basin on the table next to her bed. I squeezed the water from the towel and gently dab it on her head and face.

"I am sorry, we had an argument. She left her rooms very late. I had no idea she left the palace." Henry said defending himself. I only looked at him with hatred. I knew hating someone was wrong and against God, but this I could not help it. His negligence may have gotten my child killed. I turned my back on him and continued to nurse my . Linacre and, from what I gather from Henry, John Seymour came into the room. Dr. Linacre stood in front of both Henry and I and bowed to us.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I would like to speak to you in private about Her Highness's condition." Linacre said as he lend me a hand and helped me up. He took us to a small library John Seymour offered to us. We sat in comfortable chairs and Linacre sat behind the desk. "Let me start by saying Her Royal Highness is very lucky having survived such an injury. God have shown his kindness and mercy by sparing her." he said sincerely. All three of us made the sign of the cross. "Her Highness was struck at the very top of her left lung. The arrow was barely two inches away from her heart. Fortunately we was able to carefully remove the arrow. Her lung will heal over time, we sealed the hole with a special sealing medicine. We had to open her chest 2 inches over the wound to get the arrow safely. Luckily a surgeon was near and was able to complete the surgery. The Princess will be incapacitated for about two months. The wound was almost fatal, but she will need a lot of rest. Once she wakes she will be required to drink many liquids. Chicken broth and soft fruit will be the main part of her diet." Linacre finished. As Henry and I take it all in Dr. Linacre turned his attention on me. "My Lady, I see you are with child." he said with a small smile on his face. I try to smile and nod to him.

"My husband and I are very happy and is expecting it to arrive at the end of the year." I said, truthfully I longed to hold my child in my arms. This will be Alejo's first child. It is sadly ironic, his first born is growing in my belly while my first born may never grow again.

"I must say, you should not let this upset you in any way. Princess Mary will have a full and healthy recovery in 4 months time. I believe the princess will recover better in the comforts of her own chambers." he said. Henry stood up and nodded to Linacre.

"I already have a special made carriage outside to bring her back to White Hall." Henry said as he took in a deep breath.

"Then we shall move her carefully and comfortably now." Dr. Linacre said. We all walked back to Mary's temporary rooms and I gathered her things. Henry pulled the covers off her. As he looked at her he had a look of confusion. I went to his side.

"What are you waiting for." I ask as he kept his eyes on her body. He said nothing but tilted his head. That is when I noticed what he was looking at. Her body was dressed in a short chemise that ended a few inches above her knees. The V neck chemise was quite revealing. It revealed the outline of developing breast and firm long legs. Her hips were beginning to spread. I could see it in Henry's eyes. He had no idea his pearl was turning into a woman so quickly. He gasped when he noticed through the thin chemise, that she had already began to grow hair on her sacred area."Henry?" I asked and he took in a breath.

"Look at her, she has grown tremendously. When did this happen?" he said as if he could not believe what he was seeing.

"She is becoming a woman Henry." I said as I looked at her, her growing body reminds me of how I transformed from a girl to a woman.

"I had never noticed before." he said quietly. His eyes roving over our unconscious daughter.

"If you had spent more time with her she would not be hurt. You should spend your spare time with her Henry, she now has less than a year to spend here before she is to set sail for Spain." I stressed to him. He only nodded in response. He leaned down and caressed her brown sweat matted hair. Gently Henry wrapped her in the white carefully he picked her up like he used to and walked through Wolf Castle with her in his arms. Henry kissed her head once he walked outside. I could hear the faint gasps of the nobles who followed him here. I saw Thomas Boleyn with his son George. They did not wear sorrowful faces as the rest of the courtiers. I knew they were happy that their granddaughter and niece appear to have a closer chance at becoming Queen. Although I do not blame the child for she is innocent and does not know of her family's hurtful and unlawful ways. My daughter will make a full recovery in do time. The Boleyn's may have their laughs now, but they will choke when she recover. I walked into Alejo's embrace and sobbed in his arms."Catalina, go with her." he said as he caressed my head.

"I trust you." Alejo whispered and cupped my face. He wiped my tears with his thumbs and kissed me.

"Thank you husband." I said to him, and I hugged him with a tight embrace. I followed Henry to the long carriage. He situated Mary in comfortably. He then stepped out and helped me in. As we was on our way to White Hall, the carriage ride was quiet. Until Henry decided to make conversation. He turned and looked at me.

"You are pregnant. I am...happy for You and your husband." Henry said barely keeping the snide from his voice. I put on a fake smile. I did not care if he noticed or not.

"Thank you Henry." I said as I put my hands on my stomach. Henry was sitting next to me while Mary laid comfortably on the other side. Henry put his hands on my stomach. I was surprised at his sudden contact. He gently rubbed my belly.

"I am sorry about our last meeting. I did not mean it." he said as his hand rubbed the bottom of my stomach. "I hope that you aren't still angry. I can not contain myself at times." he said as he put his head on my shoulder.

"I forgive you Henry." I said hoping the ride would end soon.

"Thank you." Henry said as he put on a serious face. "Katherine, is it mine?" he asked as his eyes looked in mine.

"No." I whispered. He nodded sitting back and closed his eyes taking a small breath of relief.

"Believe it or not Katherine, I still love you. I love you so much." he said as he cupped my cheek with one of his hands. I became uncomfortable. "Don't you love me?" he asked, his face came closer to mine. Fear slowly seeping through me.

"Henry I can not." my personal space was increasingly being invaded by him.

"Katherine, I still love you." his hand continued to rub my belly and slowly lowered it to my dress.

"Henry." I whispered. Henry began to kiss my neck. His hand went under my dress and into my under linen. His fingers gently stroked me down there. My shoulders tensed, I took slow breaths. Henry leaned forward and kissed my cleavage. He rubbed his private area and put his hands inside his breeches. He began to pleasure himself. I moistened to his touch. I struggled to keep myself from moaning. "Henry." I said in a desperate whisper. He continued to stroke himself and let out soft moans.

"I can't...can't wait anymore." he said as he took his penis all the way out. It was engorged and I could not stop myself from melting inside. I wanted to deny him. Oh how I really did. All the memories of us together came forth. Him playing with Mary as a little girl. Us making love. The private picnics he planned with Mary and I. His kindness and gentleness on our wedding night. My desperate need for him returned as quickly as it left. Henry scooped me up and set me on his lap. His hand continued to stroke me once again. My head fell back as sinful moans of pleasure left my lips. My essence soon broke free and escaped my body covering Henry's awaiting penis and his inner thighs slick with my release. His penis rest between my thighs wanting to fill me. Henry lifted me and began to lower me onto him. I still was worn out from my sin. Gasping for breath, reality slowly washed down on me.

"Oh God" I thought out loud. I willingly allowed myself to be touched and pleasured by the hand that has beaten me, raped me twice and we committed sin in front of our unconscious daughter. I felt like a whore, I practically slept with my former husband and king in a carriage like a common harlot. Without warning the child within moved just the slightest. I stopped immediately while Henry positioned his penis at my opening. All of a sudden a host of unwanted memories entered my mind. The abuse I suffered, the rape, the infidelity, all swarmed me. Before I knew it I was reliving a long forgotten memory.

-FLASHBACK-

I was in my rooms sewing the collar of a shirt together when Henry burst in my door startling my Ladies In Waiting. I was quite used to his sudden entrance and barely moved. "Husband, what is it." I asked as I kept my head down focusing on my sewing.

"You are dismissed!" he almost seethed at my Ladies. They scurried away as commanded. Henry waited a few moments before he spoke. "Your nephew is rumored to ally with France, putting our alliance at risk." he said hotly as he went to my table where he poured himself a cup of chilled water. I got tired of his complaining but knew better than to voice my thoughts. I looked up and acknowledged him, he was so frustrated.

"Husband do not fret. King Charles only wants to expand his options. I remember a time when you expanded your options when you once considered a French alliance." I said gently trying to make him see reason. Charles was simply providing himself with a safety net. As a smart, but careful monarch was in the middle of drinking his water when he through the goblet to the other side of the room.

"Am I hearing correctly! Are you in support of the Emperor?" he seethed as he neared me. I lowered the unfinished shirt onto my lap and silently prayed that he would just leave. "Answer me!" he bellowed. I jumped and closed my eyes. He came even closer to me and I could smell the wine on his breath as he towered over me.

"Husband, I wish only for you to see reason." I said quietly but gently.

"I see reason Katherine! I'm tired of your fucking nephew running to the French when he's distressed." he said flopping on the bed. I knew what Henry wanted. He always wanted it when he was angry at one thing or another. He stood up and walked to me, gently taking my chin into his hand. "I could never be angry at you for your nephews' mistake." he said softly. I looked in his eyes and nodded slightly. He stood behind me and his hand slid down my neck and unto my breast. I decided to retire early and sew, I was only in my chemise. Henry pulled the strings and caressed my firm nipple. I closed my eyes and leaned in his touch. He pressed his hardness against my back and took a deep breath. "Katherine." he said lowly as his hand left my breast. He leaned down and kissed me. Henry turned and stood in front of me and deepened the kiss. I momentarily forgot where this could lead to and enjoyed his lips on mine. He stopped the kiss and took my face into his hand. "Katherine...I love you." he started. I looked up at him innocently and nodded my head in return. His thumb caressed my lips and entered my mouth."You always know what to do when I am stressed from political business." he said softly. He forgot to mention how he forced me to relieve his stress."Will you pleasure me, as a true and lawful wife should?" he questioned softly. All the meanness vanished from his voice. I knew I had no choice. He always got what he wanted even if he forced me. I gave into his will as usual, to keep him from hurting me.

"If it pleases Your Majesty." I answered softly not looking into his eyes. He smirked and nodded, I assumed the position of his pleasing. My knees became cold against the hard wood floor beneath them. I looked up at Henry and watched as he stood back and loosened his black velvet breaches. His member was freed from it's prison and stood on it's own.

"You know I love you right?" he asks as he neared me.

"I know husband." I said as I looked at him. He directed his swollen erection to my lips. "Henry," I said as I closed my eyes.

"If you love me you will please me as you always once said." he said cutting me off. What choice did I have, I was his wife. Here to bend to his will. I opened my mouth and slowly began to suckle the tip of his penis. Henry closed his eyes and moaned at my expense. Henry stroked himself and pulled the foreskin back revealing more of it's concealed head. I continued to suck firmly and put more of him in my mouth. The suckle noises I made was not as quiet as I wanted it to be. My Ladies could easily hear if they were listening. My head bobbed back and forth slowly as his whole length entered my mouth and out again. He held my head as I continued. I felt numb as his prefluids sept from his manhood. Being forced to swallow it so many times made me immune to the taste of his seed. Henry moans filled the room and became louder and louder. Then after a few long minutes he spilled his seed. He held my head in place ordering me not to waste his precious offering. It spilled for almost a full two minutes."Keep sucking," he said as he finished. I obeyed, and for the next five minutes I kept at a knock came on my main entrance door and I quickly removed myself. "What is it!" Henry ordered.

Wolsey said through the door that Henry had a very important meeting with the Spanish ambassador. Henry cursed himself and told Wolsey he will be there in a few minutes. He then ordered me to continue to suckle him. I obeyed him and got back on my knees. His manhood rehardened as I took him in my mouth again. My suckle was strong and he moaned louder and more words left his lips.

"Yes! Yes! That's it, just like. I love you so much sweetheart." he said softly. "Such an obedient wife." his breath was caught and put his hand under my chin and gently squeezed. I looked at him as he held his head back moving his hips. He held back a little and said, "suck the head." pulling back the foreskin, again I obeyed.

King Henry

Katherine sucked my cock better than my mistress. As I pulled the foreskin back she sucked as commanded. I was in deep pleasure, increasing each second. I could barely keep my strength in my legs. Charles thought I was jesting when I told him of this. We laughed and finally he knew I was speaking the truth. He asked me why and I simply said, "because she's good at it." I laughed. My memory stopped as my seed pooled in wait, ready to explode.

Queen Katherine

"That's it, like that." Henry moaned. His knees bent a little."Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhhhhhhh!" he yelled as he came a second time. It filled my mouth quickly and I was not able to swallow it. I spit it out while coughing. Henry looked at me and fixed his breaches. "Wash your mouth and hands then get me a new shirt." he demanded out of breath. I caught my breath and stood. He collapse in my bed. Once I finished and brought him his shirt he quickly grabbed me and through me on the bed

."Henry!" I whispered in a startle. His hands traveled up my thighs and into my under linen. I was wet and he laughed.

"Yes, my love. You act like you do not like to suckle me but your wet opening says different." he said entering his finger inside me. He quickly flipped me over and practically shoved his hardness inside me. I yelped in surprise and a little pain. He was rough with me and after a few minutes he pulled out and entered my behind. I yelped with every thrust until he came a third time. I collapsed on my bed with him on top of me, he pulled out of me and redid his breaches. Looking at me he sat down next to me as I struggle to breathe. "Are you well wife?" he asked as he petted my head. I nodded too ashamed to look at him.

"I am well husband, did I please Your Majesty?" I asked. He caressed my face and turned me to look at him.

"You pleased me very well Katherine, as you always do." he said softly. I sat up unable to stop the tears from falling. He took me in his arms and hugged me. Kissing my head, Henry held me tighter. "You deserve so much better than I can give you." he said sincerely. I looked up at him.

"Your Majesty has given me all that I could ever ask for." I said, it was the truth. But his behavior, I could do without.

"I love you Katherine." he said and leaned over to kiss me. This was something he has never done before. He never wanted to kiss me after I pleasured him. I hesitated and attempted to move away but he caught my face. He pressed his lips against mine and entered his tongue. We kissed and for a moment the embarrassment went away. The kiss ended and Henry stood up and straightened his clothes.

"You are the best wife any King, let alone man can ask for." he said kindly. I nodded to him.

"I find that I am not spending to much time with you and our daughter as I should. I am going to send for Mary from Ludlow. I shall plan for us to have a two week seclusion. Just for us." He said and my eyes lit up. I stood and hugged him tightly, he returned it just as tight.

"Thank you husband. You have made me the happiest amongst Queens." I said in delight forgetting about what had just occurred minutes before.

"Of course Katherine. But after our seclusion I must return to business, sweetheart. In two months time, my ambassador for the French and his family are returning. You may know him. He is the brother in law of Thomas Howard." Henry said and I remembered Thomas Howard from the battle at Flodden Field.

"Of course, I remember Thomas Howard. He was of great assistance to me at Flodden Field." I said and Henry nodded.

"His brother in law, Thomas Boleyn is returning with his family to England." Henry said. And added, "I shall start making plans on our seclusion after my meeting." he said and left my chambers. Henry got to the meeting very late. When he was done, he kept his word and planned for our two weeks of what seemed like paradise with my husband and child. We returned to normal life and six weeks later Henry welcomed home the Boleyn's.

-END FLASHBACK-

Closing my eyes, my husband's face came to me. I pulled myself from Henry as he attempted to lower me unto him, unaware my tears of pleasure became tear of betrayal and emotional pain. I quickly pushed my skirts down and moved as far away as I could. My essence still seeping from my folds warming my middle. "Katherine." Henry said as he tried to come close again. I push him away with my hands and put my hand protectively on my three month belly.

"I promised my husband I would not know you sexually again and look what almost happened." I seethed to him. I kept my arms in front of my stomach, Henry eyes widened.

"You told him?" he whispered and fixed his breaches. I hesitated before I answered.

"Yes, I had to." I explained to him. "He's my husband and I had to tell the truth for the sake of our child." I could tell Henry felt angry and embarrassment.

"What did he say?" he seethed as his eyes widened in anger.

"He was upset and wanted a divorce." I said cautiously. "Then I told him of..." I hesitated.

"Of what?" he yelled wanting to know.

"Of... the abuse." I whispered. Henry's breath quickly left his body. He bald his fists and slammed it against his knees. If Mary was not laying motionless across from us, I think he might have hit me. "I am sorry. I had to." I said hoping he would understand. "He was going to divorce me, please you have to understand." Henry closed his eyes and sat back again.

"Shut up!" he said loudly, I jumped at his loudness.

"Henry please." I said trying to make him see reason.

"I said shut up!" he yelled louder when he looked at me. His eyes filled with anger. "I can not believe you would tell someone that." I think Henry was more ashamed then angry. He could not even look at me.

"He is my husband" was all I said. It was all I could say. I had no other excuse.

"I was your husband." he finally said quietly. I did not know what to say to that. Henry sat back and took a deep breath. "I wish to ride in quietness." he said. For the sake of my child I obeyed. The rest of the carriage ride was quiet. I had come desperately close to breaking my word to my loving husband. Surely he will divorce me now. I could not live with out him, I know it is wrong but I will have to keep this a secret from Alejo. I will have to confess it and find relief there. I turned to Henry.

"Please, don't tell anyone." I said quietly not looking at him. He looked at me and nodded. Quietness once again consumed the we arrived at White Hall, people gasped at me being pregnant and at the condition of Mary. Guards came out and helped Henry put Mary in her chambers. Alejo, Jane and I stayed in her chambers with her. I quickly washed and cleaned myself when Jane and Alejo left the room to give me privacy. I gently sat on Mary's bedside and caressed her hair."Please baby, wake up. For me, please." I sobbed. "Bella and Nicky will miss you if you will not wake up. I want you to be here for the birth of the child in my womb." I whispered. I leaned at her side for a little while longer until the nurses came in and changed her bandages. They carefully cut the bandage off and revealed the small whole. I saw the stitches where she was opened up. There was only a few stitches, the doctor said it was best to leave the small whole open. It would allow the lung to heal before the small whole. It was best that way according to Linacre. I took this opportunity to quickly confess my sins.

After I was done I left for Mary's apartment. They were still cleaning her and changing her bandage. When they were done, I continue to stay at her had been asleep for nearly a day. Yesterday was her fourteenth birthday. Henry says they had an argument. It must have really unsettled her, and she snuck out. How she managed to get pass the guards, I don't know. She was but an hour away from Brookfield. If those Seymour's would not have hurt her she would have made it safely to me. Now she may not come from this alive. My poor child, she looks so helpless. She is still breathing but would not wake. As the sun nears the horizon, Mary's room slowly became dark. Alejo came in at sundown, he had a worried look on his face.

"Catalina, please. Eat something. Build your strength up for the child." he said. I put my head down and close me eyes. I was a bit hungry.

"How could I eat when my child is laying helplessly before me. I should have been there for her." I sobbed touching Mary's hand. I heard Alejo taking a deep breath.

"Perhaps you should gain your strength so you can be strong enough to watch her. I have brought you some fruit and tea." he said as he handed me the tray filled with sliced apples and pears. Hot tea was placed on the bedside table. He knew I would not leave Mary's side, and allowed me to stay with her during the night. I slept right next to her. I talked to her and made sure she was warm enough. I even sang to her. I prayed constantly for her safe return to me. When I was in the middle of my prayer to God, Mary took a deep breath. But alas, she did not wake. I quietly cried, it hurt so bad that my child was suffering. But I shall not give up, I will be with her. No matter how long it took.

Three days later.

King Henry

I paced my bedchambers up and down. This is getting out of hand. Mary have been asleep for seventy hours, Anne and Cromwell has been pressuring me to put Elizabeth ahead of Mary in the line of succession. If Mary dies that mean Elizabeth will be heiress to the throne. I have not told Katherine of such ideas. She would get upset and the worry will stress her. The child within her will be strained. I can not afford for her to know. Her husband keeps her company while she is with Mary. Sometimes I catch him glaring at me. He knows what I did to Katherine., he may try to harm me. I think he knows better than to be negligent against me. But I shall have spies keep an eye on him.

Henry is dumbfounded on the fact that Katherine is pregnant for her husband. Jealousy always gets the best of him. Unfortunately Katherine yet again falls for Henry's games. But this will be the last time he try to pull the wool over her eyes. Please review. Anonymous reviews accepted!
